Chapter 229 From Predator to Producer

Hong Yuan was very calm and kept her composure.His companions were far inferior to him. Since the moment they entered the camp, their eyes had been lingering on the wolf boy, their expressions were cloudy and uncertain, and they almost wrote their intentions directly on their faces.

It turned out that it was for the wolf boy, and found that the wolf boy and the beast got along well with us, so I became suspicious, wondering if we were in the same group?
Zhang Tian didn't even bother to ask, the reactions of Raven and others were enough to confirm his guess.

It's understandable to have such a thought, Zhang Tian didn't take it seriously, and only asked Hutou to confiscate the opponent's weapon.

"It's not necessary, is it?" Hong Yuan was not very happy, "Could it be that you still can't trust us?"

"Of course I believe you, but the wolf boy can't believe it. You are here to kill her, aren't you?"

The five of them were shocked again, thinking that if they really couldn't hide anything from the sky maiden, they would have been seen through their underwear long ago.

"She's called a wolf boy? We haven't seen her at all, why kill her?"

Hong Yuan denied it with her mouth, but she still obediently disarmed her.

Still playing here...

Zhang Tian chuckled secretly, without beating around the bush, and said directly: "The wolf child is a child raised by wolves. She grew up in a pack of wolves, accompanied by giant apes and black and white bears. She hates humans. The attack last night, She planned it all by herself. This is the real reason for the wild beasts to go mad, it is not accurate to say that they are mad, from the perspective of the wolves, they are eradicating the enemy."

Finally, Hong Yuan couldn't hold back any longer, and changed her face, looking at the wolf boy with intense hostility.

It really was her fault!
The other four were also shocked and angry, surprised at the origin of the wolf child, it was unbelievable that it was a child raised by wolves; thinking of what she had done, they wished to throw her into the river to feed the fish.

This hostility was so strong that the wolf boy immediately sensed it, and responded immediately without showing any weakness. The ferocious look in her eyes made even a strong red kite shudder.

This woman is simply a wolf in human skin!

The magnanimity of the sky maiden was beyond Hong Yuan's expectation. He carefully observed the other people, most of them were ignorant, and cast curious and friendly gazes, not at all like intruders who succeeded in plotting.

Quite different from his guess.

At this time, the five of them believed that what the Sky Miko was telling was the truth.

Hong Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with the wolf boy?"

"If you want to ask her why she appeared in our camp, it's because she wants our help. You can ask her about the specific situation. She can speak a little language of the Rock Castle people, and I can also translate for you."

Zhang Tian knew that these five people had taken the assassin's script, but they came at a very coincidental time, he was worried that there would be no witnesses, and when he saw the people by the river tomorrow, his empty words would not be convincing.

Now, they can't be assassins, they can be messengers, and their credibility is much higher.

"They're Riverside people, and they're here to communicate with you."

Zhang Tian gently exposed the true intentions of Hong Yuan and others, trying his best to reduce the hostility between the two sides.

Communicate with beasts?Hong Yuan found it funny and disapproved of it, but did not show it obviously.

The wolf boy's eyes swept over the faces of the five people, and finally landed on Hong Yuan, who looked like the leader, and repeated his position in the language of the rock castle.

The Riverside tribe and the Rockcastle tribe often communicate with each other, and the flow of people has also brought about the blending of languages ​​and cultures. Although the wolf boy's Rockcastle language is not fluent, Hong Yuan can roughly understand it.

He fully understood that the wolves were not going crazy for no reason, but to seize their territory.

He couldn't help but let out a sneer, never set foot on the south bank of the river, how could this be possible?
The forest resources on the north bank of the river can no longer meet the needs of everyone in the tribe, not to mention the population is still growing. In order to survive and develop, they must expand to the south bank of the river. The witch also plans to send people to the forest further south to find a suitable water system for settlement , and then slowly move out some people.

They absolutely cannot accept this condition!

Just as Hong Yuan was about to refuse, Zhang Tian said first: "Don't worry, you'd better take this news home first, and then give an answer after discussing it with your clansmen. I hope you can get along peacefully and don't repeat what happened last night. It's not good for either of you. It's the will of the sky, too, and the sky doesn't like fighting."

Zhang Tian knows that giving up territory is unacceptable to any tribe, but this is the wolf child's bottom line, and she will never give in!He knew her determination better than anyone else.

Hong Yuan also calmed down at this time, and thought about it carefully. Although the conditions proposed by the wolf boy are extremely unfavorable to the development of the tribe, if they refuse, they may face endless harassment and attacks. It's really hard to deal with the ability.

It is difficult for him to weigh the pros and cons for a while.

Thinking of this, Hong Yuan thinks that the Sky Witch's words are reasonable, he can't decide this matter, he must go back and discuss with his clansmen, and let the witches decide!
"I see, let's go back now!"

"Don't be so anxious. It's very late now, let's start tomorrow morning. As I said, I planned to go to the Meimeihe tribe tomorrow. I am worried that no one will lead the way. You can go with us."

Hong Yuan nodded in agreement.The sky maiden was very honest from the beginning to the end, and Hong Yuan couldn't help but feel ashamed when she thought that she had doubted his motives just now.At this time, when I looked at the other party again, I felt that he had a dignified appearance and a friendly face.

It's time to look up at the sky every day, but tonight there is an extra wolf howl.

"Ow!"

The wolf boy howled at the moon, and immediately there were howlings one after another in the forest, as if singing in harmony with her, everyone's scalps went numb.

She didn't understand a word of the power of the sky that Zhang Tian mentioned. Seeing these two-legged beasts looking up at the sky, she followed suit and raised their necks. How could they not howl?So he screamed out naturally.

To Zhang Tian's surprise, Zi Yan happily threw himself into Tian Tian's embrace without he wasting any words, it seemed that she had indeed let go.

[Faith value: 1628]

【You use divine magic to dream】

【Please select the recipient】

Before going to bed, Zhang Tian once again used the magical spell to enter the dream, and chose the witches of the riverside tribe as the recipients to convey the oracle.

Faith value dropped to 1578.

Early the next morning, Zhang Tian took more than a dozen people including Hutou, Kui, and Huzhuo, and five people including Hong Yuan, and headed for the Meimeihe tribe by water.

Not long after Zhang Tian left, the wolf boy sent the giant ape and giant panda back to the bamboo forest in the south of the forest with yellow stones. As soon as the king of monkeys left, the army of apes scattered like birds and beasts, and returned to their own territory to dominate.

Near noon, Zhang Tian and his party arrived at the Meimeihe tribe.The atmosphere of preparations for the war was full of people from all over the tribe, and the tension that filled the crowd spread, and it could be felt from a distance of tens of meters.

"The ravens are back!"

Raven is from the Meimeihe tribe, and everyone was both surprised and happy when they saw the tribe return.Everyone knew why they went there, subconsciously thought they had completed the task, and were amazed at the efficiency of the five of them.

But soon, they discovered the raft following the raven and the strange faces on the raft.

Except for a few people from the Sister River tribe such as Raven and Jay, no one else had come into contact with the guests and could not react for a while.

The people of the Mother River tribe recognized it immediately, and said in surprise: "Sky Witch! Why are they here?"

"Which one is which? Which one is the Sky Miko?"

"The one with short hair in the middle!"

"So young! It's completely different from what I thought..."

There was a commotion among the crowd, and the news spread like wildfire. By the time Zhang Tian approached the shore, hundreds of people had already gathered around the shore, clamoring and stretching their necks to look around, as if watching some strange creature.Even in such a critical period, their curiosity and enthusiasm cannot be extinguished.

The witches were discussing last night's guiding dream, and when they heard that the sky maiden was visiting, they rushed out to greet them.

Most likely, the sky maiden was also guided by the sky, so she came to discuss with us... Sumire thought to herself, and asked Hongyuan in a low voice if things were going well.

Seeing Hong Yuan's solemn expression, Jin ignored the others and led the guests directly to the area where the witch lived. As soon as they were seated, they went straight to the point.

Hong Yuan told all the witches exactly what happened last night and the conditions put forward by the wolf boy. Of course, he omitted the inner drama of his suspicion of the sky witch and the attempted escape.

Hong Yuan knew the witches present very well, and some witches had very strong tempers. He thought they would be furious, but the expected situation did not happen. Everyone was calm, but their expressions were a little weird, which made him puzzled mind.

"Are you sure she said that?"

"I'm sure! The sky maiden was there at the time, he can testify!"

Zhang Tian's timely support for Hong Yuan proves that what he said is true.

Sumire suddenly looked up at the sky, and said reverently, "It seems that the sky has already predicted it."

Other witches also expressed similar emotions.

Hong Yuan and the others were even more dumbfounded. They had anticipated various situations, but the reaction of the witches at this time was something they could never have imagined.

Sumire looked away, exchanged glances with the witches, and said, "Last night, we had a guiding dream again. We dreamed about the matter you mentioned last night. When you came back, we were discussing this matter. I didn't dare to confirm it at first, but now, you have proved that the dream is real."

Hong Yuan was startled and asked quickly: "Does the sky's guidance ask us to accept it or reject it?"

"It didn't give a direct answer, but the guidance asked us to move outside the forest and said that there was land suitable for settlement on the grassland. I think this is equivalent to implying that we should accept the other party's conditions."

The hunters were taken aback, and retorted subconsciously: "But we have lived in the forest for generations and never left... And the grassland is so big, where are we going to move? There are no trees for us to build nests..."

too suddenly.

The people along the river were accustomed to the environment in the forest, and when they were suddenly asked to leave their homes and find a place to live in an unfamiliar grassland, everyone's first reaction was to be terrified.

Zhang Tian, ​​who had been silent all the time, said: "We traveled across the entire grassland, and actually found many places suitable for settlement along the way. It is still the rainy season, which is the best time to migrate. If you have this idea, I can tell you position."

"Without trees, you can build a house on the ground, which is similar to building a nest on a tree. We have met tribes living on the grasslands, and that's how they do it. I can build your house the way you do."

He paused, and then proposed a second option: "Or, you can also join us and migrate to the warmer south."

Absorbing the excess population of the Riverside Tribe can strengthen the clan, which is beneficial to Zhang Tian, ​​but for the Riverside Tribe, this is only a stopgap measure, not a cure for the symptoms.

The core of the problem is not the population, but the development model of the riverside tribes relying on water for food has reached the upper limit that the environment can accommodate. If they want to develop further, the only way is to transform from a resource plunderer to a producer.

Zhang Tian didn't put the second option in Guidance Dream, because he didn't want Hepan to choose it.

He claimed that he found many places suitable for settlement along the way, and he did not just talk about it. These places have been certified by Dr. Lin, and they are the land of various relics in later generations. History has proved that those places are not only suitable for living, but also once developed. culture.

In this era, no one cared about those places. If the Hepan people settled there first, they would be the first people to open up new territories. The Zhaobaogou Culture and Hongshan Culture that followed are all their descendants.

Isn't this much better than guarding one-third of an acre in the forest?
What's more, during the Younger Dryas event, lower temperatures will cause large-scale forest shrinkage. Instead of being forced to leave the forest by cold waves in the future, it is better to take the initiative to step out of the comfort zone now and prepare early.

Zhang Tian was more happy to see the people on the riverside become self-reliant, and he was also happy to guide the primitive ancestors onto the path of sustainable development. However, he could not tell them these things. It all depended on whether they had the courage and courage.

The matter is of great importance, and the witches of the sister river tribe also arrived in the afternoon, and the witches had a heated discussion.

Even with the guidance of the sky, it is not easy to accept the conditions put forward by the wolf children. This is equivalent to asking them to give up their original territory and future expansion plans. Showing weakness to the beasts also makes everyone feel humiliated. The clansmen felt that they couldn't swallow the bad breath.

The bloody hunters were the most excited, threatening that they would never bow their heads to the evil forces, even if half of them died, they would drive the group of evil beasts out of their land!

But in the end, Tianniu and Jin still resisted all opinions and passed the resolution.

The two had personally experienced the attack that night, and it was clear that it was the guidance of the sky that saved the Mother River tribe. They believed that the guidance dream last night also contained profound meanings, and following the instructions would definitely do more good than harm.

Following this principle, Sumire decided that she would lead the members of the Mother River tribe to the grasslands to find a new home.

As soon as the results of the discussion were announced, the crowd immediately exploded.

No matter how this decision is made, it will cause huge controversy. Sumire has been mentally prepared when the results are announced, but the excited crowd still makes her feel more pressure. Since taking over as a witch, Sumire has never been so strongly criticized. doubts.

Zhang Tian sent encouragement at the right time: "You have made the right decision, which is exactly what the sky hoped for."
