Chapter 21 Weakness is the original sin(1/2)

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

Late at night, a dull footsteps suddenly came from the salt flats, and the ground was trembling slightly.

"What?"

The night watchman of the hunting team discovered the abnormality immediately and woke everyone up.

Chen Bei instantly flicked and sat up, grabbed the stone spear next to him, and instinctively made a gesture of preparing for attack.

"Chief, it's too dark and we can't see clearly. Can you see clearly what it is?"

Yun and the others surrounded the fire, trying their best to see what was in the distance, but there was no moonlight tonight, so they couldn't see what was in the distance.

Chenbei is an intermediate totem warrior. All organs and senses of the body will be qualitatively improved and have certain night vision abilities.

Chen Bei looked closely and saw some huge black shadows in the distance, licking on the salt flats. They should be some large mammals who came to find salt to eat.

"It seems... a wild boar, strange, why is it so big, bigger than a bison?"

The adult bison weighs more than 2,000 kilograms, which is considered a relatively large prey. However, Chenbei observed and found that the size of this group of wild boars was even larger than that of the bison.

Yun said excitedly: "The leader should be a giant wild boar!"

Chen Bei thought about it carefully and seemed to have heard of it, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Giant wild boars are one of the beasts in the mountains and forests. Ordinary hunting teams dare not provoke them because they are huge and have amazing attack power. If they are not careful when hunting, they will die.

It is said that if a wild boar king appears among the giant wild boar, even a wild bear will not dare to provoke him easily.

The barbarian bear is one of the overlords in the mountains and forests, and he doesn't even dare to provoke him, which shows how powerful the giant wild boar king is.

Yun said nervously: "Will they go to our side?"

If the giant wild boars go here, they will have to run away.

Chen Bei shook his head and said, "They don't mean to go here."

A newly awakened warrior said, "Chief, I heard from my grandfather that the fangs of giant wild boars are the glory of hunters. If we can hunt one, we don't have to find other prey..."

Chen Bei touched his chin and said, "There are groups of giant wild boars that cannot be provoked. If there are those who are alone, you can give it a try."

Yun glared at the new soldier with dissatisfaction, saying that he was fine, why did he do this? Isn't this causing trouble?

Are giant wild boars so easy to hunt? The leader is so young. If he is so crazy and takes the risk of hunting giant wild boars, who can bear this responsibility?

The new soldier shrank his neck and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

The giant wild boars did not stay in the salt flats for too long. After replenishing the salt, they quickly disappeared.

The hunting teams breathed a sigh of relief, and the others continued to sleep except for those who took turns to watch.

The next day, just as the sky was dawn, the hunting team members woke up one after another.

"Put the animal skin bags and put them on the ground with white soil. Each person will carry them back. We try to rush back to the tribe before dark."

Chen Bei directed everyone in the hunting team to pretend to be salt and soil, but he did not tell everyone what it was.

The salt incident is still a secret, and Chenbei does not intend to make it public in the short term, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Chen Bei himself also held a large animal skin bag. The animal skin bag was usually peeled off the body of the prey, and it could be used directly by tying the skin on the bottom and legs.

After Chenbei filled the animal skin bag, he tied the rope made of two animal skins to the opening and bottom, and then used the animal skin bag as a backpack and carried it directly on his body.

This is much better than carrying it, and it saves more effort when you free up your hands.

Others followed suit and used two ropes to carry the animal skin bag filled with salt and soil on their bodies.

After carrying the totem warrior, he asked in a low voice: "Chief, why do we have to carry these white soil back?"

This time, Chen Bei didn't spoil him and said directly: "This is what Wu wants, why don't you go and ask Wu?"

When I heard Chen Bei's words, no one dared to say anything. Who dares to ask what Wu wants?

"Let's go back, hunt when you encounter prey on the road, and hunt again if you don't meet it."

With salt soil on his back, Chenbei didn't want to spend the night in the mountains because animals were very sensitive to the breath of salt soil. If they encountered a beast that urgently needed salt, they would come to attack at night, which would be bad.

The hunting team began to rush back, but they encountered several large preys on the way. Chenbei hunted them at the fastest speed, and then carried them to continue walking towards the tribe.

Although Chenbei tried his best to avoid trouble, unexpectedly, an accident happened at noon.

They walked into a forest, and had just hunted two triangular green sheep and prepared to carry them back together.

At this time, almost all ten people had prey on them, and they were returning home with a full load.

However, just as they were about to continue walking, suddenly, hundreds of people emerged from the forest and surrounded them.

Chen Bei was also nervous. Is this the danger Qingzhu mentioned?

He noticed that the totem patterns on these people's faces were a little familiar, very much like black snakes entrenched together.

He remembered that these people were the hunting team he met last time. He avoided it at that time, but he didn't expect to bump into it this time.

"Which tribe are you from?"

In this hunting team, an intermediate totem warrior came out, and there were two intermediate totem warriors next to him, who were very strong.

The most conspicuous thing is that the three of them each had a snake wrapped around them, and they were alive. The snake's head was swallowing and spitting out the letter, looking at Chen Bei and others coldly.

"Mang Tribe, Chen."

Chenbei reported his tribe and name.

"Mang Tribe? I haven't heard of it."

"I am the captain of the hunting team of the Black Snake Tribe. My name is Viaya. Now, I announce that your prey belongs to us."

Poison Fang doesn't take these people seriously at all. It is common for them to snatch prey or even kill people in the mountains and forests.

If these people want to resist, he doesn't mind killing them all.

Of course, once the war broke out, there will definitely be certain casualties on both sides, which is something that Venomous Tooth doesn't want to see, because many people died in the Black Snake Tribe in winter, so there is no need to die a few more.

"Black Snake Tribe!"

Chen Bei discovered that after Yun and the others heard the words "Black Tribe", everyone's eyes were filled with hatred and gritted their teeth, and they wanted to go up and fight to the death immediately.

To be precise, from the moment they were surrounded and clearly seeing the other party’s totem pattern, Yun and their emotions were a little wrong.

"What's going on?"

Chen Bei whispered to Yun, feeling that they would not be like this just by being stolen prey.

"It was them who destroyed the Turtle Tribe. If the Witch hadn't had a premonition and asked us to run ahead of time, we would all be dead now!"

"Chief, I want to... fight with them!"

Yun held the short spear in his hand tightly, and the totem power was circulating. If he hadn't just had a little reason, he would have rushed up.

"Calm down! You will only die in vain if you rush up now!"

Chen Bei held his hand and glanced at the people behind him, calming them down with a stern look.

"Honest it first, I swear that when the tribe becomes stronger in the future, I will definitely help you revenge!"

Chen Bei forced Yun's hand down, and at the same time he severely warned the totem warriors behind him not to move.

The poisonous fangs stood far away, and Chenbei and the others were very quiet, so the poisonous fangs did not hear what they were saying, nor did they have any suspicion. After all, anyone who was robbed of prey was almost like this.

Poison Fang sneered: "Why, I want to fight hard? Just you guys? Just hand over the prey obediently, so that we won't take action."

Chen Bei took a deep breath and said, "Put the prey on the ground."

After saying that, he took the lead in putting his prey on the ground.

But Yun and the others still did not move, and they were unwilling to hand over their prey to their enemies.

"Don't you listen to the leader's words? You can fight again if you lose your prey. If you lose your people, why should you take revenge?"

Chen Bei's words finally touched Yun, and he reluctantly placed his prey on the ground.

The leader and the captain were both released, and the others had to put their prey on the ground.

Chen Bei said to Poison Fang: "Give you all the prey, we can leave, right?"

But Poison Fang looked at the animal skin bag behind them and said, "What are you on your back? Put it down too."

Chen Bei was not panicked at all. He was not worried that these people would recognize salt soil, because few people knew this thing, and few people knew how to separate salt from salt soil.

Chen Bei put down the animal skin bag, opened the bag mouth, grabbed a handful of salt soil from it, and said, "This is white soil, we took it back to build the altar, not prey, it is of no use to you."

Many tribes, especially small tribes, still choose to build altars with soil. They choose soil of various colors, so Chenbei's words are reasonable.

Poison Fang pointed at an intermediate totem warrior and said, "Go and take a look."

The intermediate totem warrior walked over, looked carefully, and even reached in, flipped through the animal skin bag, and there was indeed no prey.

He also checked the other people's skin bags and returned to the side of the poisonous fangs.

“There is no prey.”

The poisonous fangs are only interested in prey. Since it is really earthy, there is no need to stay.

"Take your land away, leave your prey, get out."
