Chapter 63 Strange Tree

It took half a month. Under Chenbei's guidance, the Mang tribe finally repaired the irrigation ditches.

"Dong!"

Chenbei dug up the earth wall between the source of the ditches and the stream and continued to widen.

"Crazy..."

The stream flowed into the ditches and flowed forward along the ditches. After flowing through the main and secondary canals, it continued to flow into the Lobster River.

"It's watery!"

Chen Bei raised his hoe and shouted, and the crowd around him burst into cheers like tsunamis.

"There's finally water."

Yan wiped the corners of his eyes and cried with joy. Since he took charge of the planting team, he has spent all his thoughts on farming. Water is very important to farming, so he is so happy.

The rest of the planting team are similar, and they can't forget how hard it is to carry water and irrigate the land when the weather is dry.

As for those tourists, they have not experienced farming or harvesting, but are just happy that the project has finally been completed.

Chenbei put down his hoe. He looked at the thunderous flowing water and the large fields waiting to be planted in the distance, and suddenly thought of a grain crop in his mind.

"That would be great if there was rice."

If you have water, you can turn some of the land into paddy fields and plant rice. That is the real staple food in Chenbei's heart.

Unfortunately, he has not found any trace of rice so far, perhaps because he has not walked far enough.

Chenbei hadn't eaten white rice for many years, and when he thought of the smell, he couldn't help swallowing.

Not only rice, he also misses many things, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots...

He is not sure if there are these things in this world, but even if there is no one in the same thing, there are probably substitutes. As long as you look for them carefully, you will definitely find them.

After solving the ditch, Chenbei devoted his time to another matter.

That is to make the last deal of the year with other tribes before winter comes.

This transaction requires not only going to the Shu tribe, but also to other tribes. Naturally, you have to do more preparations.

A lot of smoked fish, smoked meat, pottery, and various tools and accessories for making animal bones and fish bones are prepared.

The weather is getting colder and they have to finish the deal before it snows and return to the tribe.

After everything was done, the trading team of the Mang tribe set off again.

This time, Chenbei brought twelve rhinos and fifty totem warriors, including Lie who was unable to go out last time, and white grass that knew various plants.

Ya also went with him. This was the opportunity he had recommended himself to Chen Bei. He wanted to go out and see him for a long time.

The rhino carries the goods and walks slowly, while Chen Bei and others walk around, guarding the rhino, alerting to the possible dangers.

With seven or eight short spears on his back, he held a bone knife more than one foot long in his hand, and followed Chen Bei excitedly. After entering the strange forest, he felt everything was fresh.

"Chief, I heard that the people in the Tree Tribe have a huge totem sacred tree, and everyone lives in a tree hole. Is that true?"

"It's true."

Chen Bei was a little helpless. After all, Ya was a boy. He chattered all the way and asked around, but Chen Bei didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

"Oh my God, they live in tree holes, aren't they afraid of bugs?"

"Stop guessing, you will know when you arrive. Let me be quiet for a while."

Chen Bei's words finally made Ya realize that he seemed to be talking too much, so he had to shut up. In fact, he still wanted to speak in his heart.

Although I have been to Shu Tribe once, there is no road in the mountains and forests. I can only walk in that direction and look for iconic references along the way. The route I take is actually different every time.

This also leads to some unpredictable dangers, and no one dares to be careless.

"call out!"

Lie walked in front of him to open the way. Suddenly, a dangerous aura made his hair burst out all over his body. He instinctively squatted down. An object like a sharp arrow flew over his head and stuck it on the trunk of a big tree, and his tail was still trembling.

This is a wooden thorn about three inches long, with a green skin. The thicker the fingers, the faster it flies out.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

Before Lie could take a closer look, he saw countless wooden thorns flying out from the bushes in front of him, shooting towards Chenbei and others indiscriminately, just like a rain of arrows all over the sky.

Fortunately, all the totem warriors came, and they reacted very quickly, and they all looked for places to hide. Even so, many people were still stabbed.

As for rhinos, they have thick skin and thick flesh, and have amazing defense. These wood thorns cannot cause damage to them.

"Lie, what's the situation? Is it the enemy?"

Chen Bei hid behind a big tree and asked Lie anxiously in front of him because he was the first person to find something wrong.

"Captain, I didn't see the enemy, nor did I sense the totem breath of other tribes."

If someone from another tribe attacks, then when using the power of totem, there will be a clear totem aura, which can be easily sensed by the totem warrior.

But the situation is very strange now, and there seems to be no one in front of you.

The teeth were not far from Chenbei. There was a wooden thorn on his arm, and it was bleeding. He gritted his teeth and pulled it out, then took out a small bag of medicine powder from the animal skin bag that he carried, poured it on the wound, and bandaged the wound with a strip of animal skin.

"Tait, are you okay?"

Chen Bei waited for a while and felt no danger anymore, so he quickly ran to Ya to check his injuries.

"Chief, I'm fine, I'm just being stabbed."

Chenbeidao: "You stay here, I'll go and take a look."

Chen Bei grabbed the stone spear and moved quickly, not in a straight line.

"Come on, keep up."

Baicao and several more powerful totem warriors followed Chen Bei. No matter what was ahead, the leader could not take risks alone.

After Chen Bei ran to the front, he did not find the enemy. Instead, he saw a large area of ​​short trees more than half a person tall.

These short trees are quite unique. Each one grows straight and the bark is covered with green thorns. Among them, many of the barks are smooth and there are obvious signs of wood thorns growing on it.

"What kind of tree is this? Why is it so weird?"

Just as Chen Bei was observing, suddenly, a short tree bent like a bow, and then suddenly straightened. The thorns growing on the bark broke away from the bark and shot towards Chen Bei like lightning.

"Chief, be careful!"

An anxious voice from Baicao and others came from behind, but Chen Bei actually discovered the danger immediately, and a lazy donkey rolled around to avoid the thorns that were shooting.

"It turns out that the 'arrow rain' just now was created by these trees." Chen Bei finally understood.

Baicao and others also came to Chenbei. Everyone was surprised to see these short trees. These inconspicuous short trees actually had such strong lethality.

Chen Bei asked Baicao: "Do you know what tree this is?"

Baicao shook his head and said, "I have never seen it before, maybe the people from the Tree Tribe know."

Lie gritted his teeth and said, "If you hurt our people, you might as well cut them all down."

Chen Bei stopped him and said, "No, I think these trees are useful. Dig a few and take them to the tree tribe and ask them what kind of tree this is. If they can be planted, I want to take them back to the tribe to plant them. They may come in handy in the future."

Chen Bei was very interested in these strange plants. He felt that if used properly, these plants could also create great value.

After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Bei personally dug a few trees and packed them in animal skin bags, intending to take them to the tree tribe for questions.
