Chapter 203: The Threat of Winter
After the sacrifice, the Mang tribe had more than 1,600 totem warriors.
Among them, in addition to Chenbei, there are three high-level totem warriors, Yun, Lie and Shanwen, and hundreds of intermediate totem warriors, with their strength greatly increasing.
The Mang tribe today is quite strong among medium-sized tribes.
The most important thing is the state of the totem god. Chen Bei could clearly feel that the totem god is getting stronger and stronger, and the coverage of the divine power is getting wider and wider.
The day after the sacrifice, Qingzhu left his yard and found Chenbei.
Qingzhu rarely leaves the yard, and Chen Bei immediately realized that something important might have happened.
“This year’s winter is ahead of schedule.”
Qingzhu's face was very serious, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.
"Or it is, in recent years, winter has been getting ahead of schedule every year, and winter has been getting longer and colder."
Chen Bei frowned slightly and said, "Hasn't it been like this all these years? The reason why our Mang tribe can't stay in the middle is because the weather has become colder."
"Now that rhinos have grown long hair, our tribe has a lot of food sources. Even if they grow longer in winter, it should not have a big impact on us."
The Mang tribe is located in the southern wilderness and the climate is still relatively warm. Chenbei believes that even if the winter is longer than now, it can be fully able to deal with it.
Qingzhu shook her head and said, "Our tribe will not be affected too much, but what about those tribes in the central part, even the tribes in the cold land of the North Yuan?"
Chen Bei was not stupid. When Qingzhu said this, he immediately realized the point and his face changed slightly.
"You mean, the tribes of Beiyuan, or even the tribes of the central region, will they go south?"
Qingzhu nodded and said, "Yes, the Totem God asked us to prepare early. As the weather gets colder, the tribes of Beiyuan will go south to the central part, and the tribes of the central part will likely go to the southern wilderness."
"For example, if the weather gets colder and colder, they will find it difficult for them to survive in the middle and will definitely migrate to the warmer southern wilderness."
Chenbeidao: "Wouldn't that mean that the sparsely populated southern wilderness will become a place for major tribes to compete for in the future?"
"It's true." Qingzhu replied affirmatively.
Chen Bei smiled bitterly and said, "What's this? In the past, everyone shook their heads and squeezed into the middle, but few tribes were willing to stay in the southern wilderness, but now they're the opposite."
I used to think that one day I would return to my ancestral land. Now it seems that the ancestral land is not so easy to stay. The place I occupy now is most suitable for the survival and development of the Mang tribe today.
He thought for a while and said, "Tribal migration is a big deal after all. If you are not careful, it will be a disaster for the genocide. I think it is not easy for them to make this decision. Our Mang tribe still has time to develop."
Qingzhu said: "Although they will not migrate so quickly, they will definitely send people to explore the way forward, and even try every means to deal with our Mang tribe. In the future, it will be difficult for the Southern Wilderness to calm down."
Chenbeidao: "We occupied this place in advance, and we have an advantage over them. It is not that easy to deal with us."
"In the future, we will continue to strengthen our defense and expand our territory. Before they arrive, we will try our best to occupy all the places. Even if they migrate to the southern wilderness, they will only stay in the corner!"
Qingzhu said: "After all these things, I'll go back first."
Qingzhu turned around and wanted to go back to his yard.
"etc!"
Chen Bei called her.
Qingzhu turned around, looked at Chen Bei in confusion, and said, "Is there anything else for the leader?"
Chen Bei pointed to the steaming pottery Ding and said, "I'm here, let's go after dinner. Today I made delicious food and it'll be ready soon."
Qingzhu was also a little greedy when she thought of Chen Bei's cooking skills. She nodded slightly red and walked to the table to sit down.
Chen Bei laughed and said while holding the dishes and chopsticks: "You're a coincidence. This meal took a lot of effort..."
...
In the middle, bee tribe.
In the honeycomb house made of branches and yellow mud, the big men of the bee tribe are discussing the matter.
"The snowfall is getting ahead this year, and there are fewer bee pupas in the tribe than in previous years."
The witch from the Bee Tribe is a thin old lady. She is leaning on a crutch and her face is as gloomy as water.
Bees are the foundation of a tribe. The more bees, the stronger the tribe will be. On the contrary, the fewer bees, the more powerful the tribe will be gradually weakened.
The leader of the Ant Tribe whispered: "Witch, it's normal for the weather to be cold this year, so it's normal for less bee pupae?"
"Normal?" The bee tribe witch sneered and said, "Do you know how the Mang tribe was exterminated back then?"
The leader of the Feng Tribe said: "I know this, it was besieged by various tribes, so it was exterminated. Our Feng Tribe also gained a lot of benefits from it."
The bee tribe witch snorted coldly and said, "Do you know why they were besieged by various tribes?"
"This...maybe it's because they act recklessly and offended too many tribes, right?" The leader of the bee tribe looked at the witch, hoping that she would give a better explanation.
The bee tribe witch shook her head and said, "The Mang tribe back then was the largest tribe in the middle. The totem god is extremely powerful and its strength is stronger than any tribe in the middle."
"If it weren't for the problem with the Mang tribe itself, who would dare to siege them?"
The bee tribe witch seemed to be trapped in a memory, and she slowly said: "I found from the animal skin scroll left by witches of all generations that the first problem that occurred in the Mang tribe was that the number of rhinos gave birth to cubs has decreased."
"The originally huge rhino herd has been reduced year by year, and the strength of the Mang tribe has been gradually weakened, and even the strength of the Totem God has slowly declined."
"Later, many rhinos left the Mang tribe and went south, and the totem god also had big problems. The tribes realized the opportunity, so they rushed forward and destroyed the Mang tribe."
"If the Mang tribe is at its peak, do you think other tribes dare to attack them?"
In the beehive-shaped house, the big men of the bee tribe were silent, and even the leader didn't know what to say.
They always thought that the reason why the Mang tribe was destroyed was because they acted too recklessly and offended too many people. Unexpectedly, they had problems themselves.
They had never heard of these things before, and witches of all generations were only recorded in bone pieces books or animal skin scrolls, and were not disclosed.
After learning this truth, they contacted the tribe's beehives and swarms that the witch mentioned became less. Each of them felt a kind of fear, which made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing that they valued it, the Bee Tribe sighed and said, "The reason why our Bee Tribe was able to rise was because our Bee Tribe was more cold-resistant than the Mang Tribe and could adapt to the changing weather."
"But now as the weather gets colder, the Totem God told me that it has felt uncomfortable, and our bee tribe...is likely to face the dilemma of the Mang tribe at that time."
"What?"
The words of the Bee Tribe Witch were like a thunder, slashing on everyone's heads. These big figures who are usually in the tribe are all as beautiful as earth.
Wu Youyouyou said, "Prepare the worst plan. After winter, send some totem warriors to the southern wilderness to explore the road..."
After saying these words, the Bee Tribe Witch looked at the expressions of everyone. She saw panic and confused about the future.
The bee tribe witch shook her head. The stable life of these people has been so long that they seem so unbearable when facing the crisis.
The bee tribe witch's face returned to her usual calmness, and she said, "You don't have to worry too much. This situation is not only our bee tribe needs to face, but also the spider tribe, the ant tribe, and the fish tribe need to face it. This process will be very long."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
It's like facing danger alone and being very panicked, but when he finds that there is a group of people around him also facing the same danger, he will feel much better.
The same scene was staged in many tribes during this period, and many tribes realized the arrival of the crisis, but their reactions were different.
...
Southern Wilderness, Mang Tribe.
"Everyone is working harder. Now we can open up a little more waste and we will have more food next year!"
Outside the stone wall, more than a thousand newly awakened totem warriors each received farm tools and cleared the land in the cold wind.
Winter clearance is something that every totem warrior of the Mang tribe will experience when he first awakens. It is a classic project since the establishment of the Mang tribe.
The new totem warrior cannot grasp the totem power in his body well. In winter, it takes a lot of effort to smash the hard frozen soil on the surface and then turn over the soil below.
During the process of working, the totem warrior not only needs to use the power of totem to smash the frozen soil and dig stones, but also use the power of totem to spread throughout the body to resist the severe cold.
This forces them to use the power of totem as quickly as possible to achieve a good training effect.
It can not only open up more arable land for the tribe, but also train new totem warriors. Because of these two benefits, the winter land reclamation will become a classic project for the Mang tribe.
As the captain of the planting team, Yan has always been very enthusiastic about this matter. At this time, he led the planting team's totem warriors to circle around the land reclamation area and teach these new totem warriors.
There was still light snow floating in the sky, but it could not hinder the progress of land reclamation at all. In just half a day, more than a thousand totem warriors opened up a large wasteland.
"It's time to eat!"
In the whistle above the stone wall, a totem warrior turned the wooden loudspeaker to the side of the wasteland and shouted.
"It's time to eat!"
Those new totem warriors were tired and cold, but when they heard these three words, they immediately became energetic and their waists were straightened.
Several totem warriors threw away the stone hoe in their hands, turned around and ran into the tribe.
"stop!"
Yan looked at Shihu in pain, walked forward quickly, stopped the people, and shouted sternly: "Who dares to run around? I promise to let him have no food!"
"Can you throw away the tools for farming? Go back and pick them up for me!"
The totem warriors had no choice but to go back and pick up the tools and look at the rock with their eyes.
Yan's face was slightly slower and he said, "Remember, every time he used up, he should sort the tools and never throw them around anymore."
"yes!"
The totem warriors lowered their heads and then honestly placed the tools in their designated positions.
The same goes for others. Under the guidance of the totem warriors of the planting team, they put their tools and lined up.
Yan and everyone put the tools down, then waved their hands and said, "Go to have a meal."
"Swoosh swish swish..."
