During the whole winter, when other tribes are huddled and tormented, the Mang tribe is busy.

In the past two years, the population of the Mang tribe has skyrocketed. With the increase in labor force, the fields of the Mang tribe have become wider and more and more production in various workshops.

When the ice and snow melted and spring came, the Mang tribe had already had six thousand people, including a large number of newborns.

The area of ​​arable land of the Mang tribe has reached more than 8,000 mu, a large part of which are wastelands opened up in the past two years.

With such a wide arable land area, once all grain is produced, the Mang tribe can feed the entire tribe even if it no longer fishes and hunts, and only rely on planting and breeding.

Of course, Chenbei will not be content with the status quo. The Mang tribe is facing many crises now, and he will continue to open up land to bring more food to the tribe to feed more people.

Fortunately, when Chenbei selected a location for the tribe, he considered the development issue. The place where the Mang tribe is located has a flat terrain and there is a large area of ​​wasteland along the river.

If the Mang tribe continues to open up land, it does not have to cut down many forests and can continue to extend outward.

...

The seventh year of the establishment of the Mang tribe, mid-first month in spring.

In the forest southwest of the Mang Tribe, Chenbei and the hunting team were tracking a big red bird.

The thick ice and snow have all melted, and the melting snow has brought a lot of water. The forest is full of gurgling streams, and the sound of water is tinging, and you can hear it everywhere.

"Where is the big red bird you mentioned? Can you find it?"

Chen Bei ran with Yun for most of the day, but he didn't even see the shadow of the big red bird, and he felt a little depressed.

Since seeing the Ant Tribe and the Bee Tribe in the middle last year, Chen Bei has been thinking about adding a battle pet that can carry manned flights to the Mang Tribe.

I have to have what others have, otherwise, if you fight in the future, wouldn’t you suffer a big loss?

Another thing is that the Mang tribe often goes out to trade with other tribes. If there is a huge flying war pet like a giant carving like the Diao tribe, it will be much more convenient to go out to trade in the future.

In view of these two reasons, Chenbei mobilized the entire tribe to find large, man-carrying birds.

During winter hunting, Yun led the hunting team to search everywhere, and finally saw a big red bird, and excitedly told Chenbei.

According to him, although this big red bird is not as huge as the big eagles in the Eagle Tribe, it is also very huge, and it is absolutely fine to carry a few people.

However, because it was winter and the wind and snow were too strong, when Chen Bei followed the hunting team, the big red bird was no longer visible.

After the winter passed, Yun took the hunting team out again. They were lucky and encountered this big red bird again and followed it for a day.

What is depressing is that when Chen Bei got the news, he didn't even see the shadow of the big red bird.

"A few days ago, I clearly saw it for food by the stream, why did it disappear?" Yun was also very depressed, afraid that Chen Bei would think he was lying.

"Look for it again."

Chen Bei still trusts Yun quite a bit. He believes Yun has not lie, and so many people in the hunting team have seen it.

It can only be said to be a coincidence. He happened to come here twice and the big red bird flew away.

This made Chen Bei laugh at himself, could he be too unlucky?

The group continued to walk forward, trying to find some traces of the activities of the big red bird.

They follow the stream because in the description of clouds, this big red bird likes to move around the water, catch fish and shrimps to eat, and also eat the buds and rhizomes of plants near the water.

They searched for a long time and a large lake appeared in front of them, and the stream flowed into the lake.

The lake water is very clear, and there are many fish in the lake, swimming around in the water, including some large fish.

"This is a good place. I've never been here before, so I have to write it down."

Chen Bei took out a large animal skin roll from the animal skin bag, as well as animal brushes and pigments, and marked the lake in the animal skin roll.

This animal skin scroll is a map drawn by Chenbei. He has always carried it with him. When he encounters important landforms, he will mark them in the map.

"Chief, look!"

Just as Chenbei used a beast brush to mark the lake's location, Yun suddenly screamed excitedly and pointed his finger in one direction.

Chen Bei looked up and saw a big fiery red bird flying over from the horizon and landing in the shallow water in the lake. He walked gracefully, lowering his head from time to time, and quickly pecking at the fish and shrimps in the water.

This big red bird is very strangely grown. It is about five meters tall and has very long legs. Its legs alone are probably three meters tall.

The neck is also very long, and there is a red flower-like feather on its head. The bird's beak is also very long and pointed, and it looks like a curved awl from a distance.

"Why does this look a bit like a crane?"

Chen Bei murmured in a low voice that this kind of big bird does have many similarities with cranes, such as long legs, long neck, and sharp and slender mouth.

But Chenbei had never seen such a big or strange crane, such a big red bird, that it looked so strange.

But no matter how strange it was, Chen Bei quickly focused on the broad back of the big red bird.

This big red bird is big enough to carry people, and it is not a problem to carry some cargo.

Most importantly, it is good at flying, fast and long-lasting, and is an ideal flight war pet.

Chen Bei often heard stories about immortals riding cranes in his previous life. At that time, he had never taken it seriously. After all, a crane as big as the legendary one could carry people to heaven and earth. Where can I find them?

But at present, Chen Bei witnessed this giant bird with his own eyes, and its size was even bigger than the legendary crane, which made Chen Bei very moved.

If this big red bird can be domesticated into a war pet, the Mang tribe will have its own sky power in the future.

"Chief, how about it? I didn't lie to you, did you?"

Yun looked at the big red bird in the distance excitedly, and he thought that this big bird would definitely meet Chenbei's requirements.

Chen Bei patted Yun on the shoulder and said, "Very good, this time you have made great contributions, and you will be indispensable when you go back and reward you."

In the distance, the big red bird is still looking for food in the shallow water. Although it is huge, its movements in the water are very light. Its paws step on the water and does not make much noise, and it will not scare away the fish and shrimps in the distance.

Once the prey is found, its movements will become very rapid again. The sharp mouth can accurately pick up the fish, then raise the head and swallow the fish into its stomach a few times.

But it didn't know that it had been targeted by the people of the Mang Tribe, and was trying every means to figure out how to get it back to the Mang Tribe.

In the bushes, Chen Bei and Yun were discussing in a low voice.

"It is impossible that there is only one big bird like this. It is best to find its nest and catch more young birds to go back to tame them."

"Yes, big birds are already difficult to tame, so it's best to catch young birds."

"But it flies so fast, how can we follow it to find its nest?"
