back to prehistoric savage

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the rock suddenly fell apart and turned into countless fragments, flying in all directions. Some fell into the bushes, some fell into the river, and some rolled to the feet of the dumbfounded tiger.

Huzi subconsciously took a few steps back and opened his mouth so wide that he could almost fit a suckling pig in.

Is this the power of the Thunder Beast?Even stones can easily break apart and be replaced by flesh and blood... He dare not continue thinking about it.

Before setting off, Zhang Tian specially brought a few porcelain caltrops to give the primitive people a little shock and act as a deterrent.

The visual effect is horrifying, but in actual combat, it is almost impossible to blow people away. After all, people will not stand there stupidly and get bombed. The shock wave of porcelain caltrops is not strong enough. The real danger is the clay fragments, which are wrapped around them. Huge kinetic energy shoots out like a goddess scattering flowers, enough to cause damage to creatures in a small area.

Of course, Huzi doesn't need to know this. He only needs to know that the power of the thunder beast cannot be resisted by human power.

Zhang Tian believes that with Huzi's personality, when he arrives in the Star Tribe, he will definitely publicize it.

The goods brought by the Sky Clan were snatched away in an instant.

Because there was an agreement in advance, priority was given to exchanging the exiled tribesmen of the Yanbao tribe. Many tribes claimed to have captured the savages, but they did not come to this meeting. Zhang Tian asked them to take care of those savages and bring them to the meeting next year. , can be exchanged for generous rewards.

The people of Yanbao who had regained their freedom were extremely happy. Almost all of them were women. They hugged and cried with Lei, Wolf Spider and other tribesmen. They loudly praised the kindness of the sky and wished they could lie down and kiss Zhang Tian's toes according to the etiquette of the people of Yanbao. .

Zhang Tian curled up his toes and declined.

He took out a shovel-shaped tool and told each tribe that at next year's autumn gathering, they would give priority to exchanging this tool!
In the past, when fishing, hunting and gathering, the skill of digging was rarely used. After the transformation, whether it is farming, construction or mining, it is inseparable from digging the soil. Correspondingly, the tools wear out very quickly, and it is precisely these tools that Manufacturing is the most time-consuming and laborious.

Zhang Tian does not intend to form an alliance with the tribes east of Hedong. They are too far away from Taoyuan and difficult to manage. If there is no communication between them, the alliance will be meaningless.

Zhang Tian's positioning of the tribes in Hedong is probably the "peripheral members" of the clan, or the people at the bottom. In the future, high-strength, low-value-added things such as stone tools, bone tools, and woven products can be handed over to them for production, and the clan can then use them. High-tech, high-value-added products are exchanged with them to achieve the purpose of exchanging one for more.

This is also a kind of exploitation, but compared to the exploitation method of Chi Guoguo of the Xingxing Tribe, where people pay tribute and sacrifice, this kind of exploitation is much more secretive and reasonable. With the insight of primitive people, even if they are PUA, they will not be aware of it.

In addition to the exchange of materials, communication is also an essential part of the gathering.

People from various tribes gathered together in small groups to share their experiences. This place was like a transfer station for news. News from Hexi, Hedong and the seaside were collected here, and then spread to the wider world as everyone left.

This year's "Exchange Conference" was particularly exciting. The people of the Tiger Skin Tribe saw a meteorite explode for the first time, so they naturally wanted to brag. The people of the Dachuan Tribe talked about their various experiences in Taoyuan... These things were narrated by me. As for the suspicion, it would be perfect for someone from the Dachuan Tribe to take charge of it.

But the most popular ones are the stories brought by the Sky Clan, such as Nuwa patching up the sky, Yi shooting for nine days, and Pangu creating the world... Although they are not recent events, these stories are more shocking than any other stories. , the shock of not being able to sleep, everyone felt like their brains had been renovated, and many of their past cognitions had been reshaped.

The story is only part of it. In addition, there are musical instruments, dances, murals, painted pottery, sculptures, board games... The two are committed to the dissemination and promotion of culture, and naturally they will not miss these vital factors.

At the end of the meeting, everyone present felt that they had gained a lot, including Zhang Tian.

He gained more than 1000 faith points, which reached 4768. This is not all. When the Hedong people return to the tribe and tell the tribe what happened at the gathering, the faith points will also see a substantial increase.

Jiang He counted the time and decided that it was time to go back. He also had to attend the autumn gathering in Hexi to exchange the things he got from the Tiger Skin Tribe.

Everyone set out on their way home with expectations for the next summer.

……

The way back is to go upstream, which is much more difficult than when we came. In places where the current is faster, it is difficult to row the boat, so we can only get off the boat and work as trackers.

Fortunately, with the help of fellow Hedong people and tribes along the way, everything was smooth sailing.

When we returned to Giant Turtle Lake, it was already the time for the leaves to fall, and the fleet of the Big Boat Tribe arrived in the cool autumn breeze.

Zhang and Lin thought about their clansmen in their hearts, so they stopped for a while and then left.

Before leaving, Jiang He said with a smile: "See you in winter!"

This guy is used to spending the winter in Taoyuan... It's more like falling in love with it than getting used to it. Anyway, he has already chosen his successor, and his departure will give the younger generation a chance to practice.In contrast, Zhang Tian and Lin Yu were not as open-minded as Jiang He. After being away for half a year, they couldn't help but worry about the situation in the clan.

At this time, it’s time to harvest, right?
This year, everything from farming to harvesting was done independently by the clan members. Even Lin Yu's seed field was taken care of by Xiao, Bai and others.

The closer I get to Taoyuan, the more uneasy I feel, and I feel like opening a blind box.

Are they planted as required?How was the harvest?Is the summer semester going well?Did you have a good time doing aerobics?
Lin Yu chatters like an old woman. Whenever this happens, Zhang Tian will remember that she is already a 30-year-old woman.

He was complaining like this in his heart, but Zhang Tian himself was also uneasy, as if he was a parent who left his child alone at home for the first time.

When they climbed over Daxiong Mountain and returned to Taoyuan, looking at the curling smoke from cooking stoves and the densely packed empty straw in the crop fields, their hearts finally fell back into their stomachs.

The tribe has finished harvesting, but there are still many leaves and residue left on the threshing floor, which are traces left by drying and threshing.

The granaries are filled to the brim, the various materials in the warehouses are well organized, the livestock in the farms are cared for to keep them fat and strong, retting, weaving, making wine, making dry food for the winter, cooking soy products for sacrifices... everything Everything was done step by step, no different from when they were there.

The two of them were very happy. They knew that even if they were no longer around, their people would still be able to live well.At the same time, I feel a little emotional. After years of hard work, the tribe finally has the ability to support themselves, as if the ignorant children have finally grown up and can live independently.

If there is anything missing, it may just be the modern knowledge in their heads. Without the guidance of Zhang Tian and Lin Yu, it would be easy to maintain the status quo, but it would be difficult to make further progress.

Everyone and a group of wolves and dogs happily welcomed the return of the Sky Priest and the Wizard. Seeing that the lost tribesmen were among them, everyone in the Rock Castle cried with joy.

Hutou, Lei and others shared their experiences of this trip to Hedong with everyone. According to the hunters' accounts, it seemed that they were not going to attend a gathering, but to express condolences to the people. It was said that the people of Hedong were impressed by the power of the wizard, and people I couldn't help but feel the same way. They had the same impulse when they saw the miracle for the first time.

Tired from the journey, Lin Yu rested for several days before he recovered.

According to past experience, the straw tribesmen in the field stayed and waited for the wizard to come back to deal with it, but Lin Yu did not intend to use Akaishi's power.

"So far, we haven't found any younger generation that can use the five-color stones. Maybe we are the last generation." Lin Yu said, "We should let the tribe get rid of their dependence on the five-color stones."

Burning straw is just a piece of cake for her, and it was just a matter of convenience for her to do it in the past.

It’s just a matter of making a fire yourself. Of course, you need to arrange isolation zones in advance and pay attention to the wind direction.

Although it was the first time for Zhang Tian to do such a thing, he was not panicked at all. With Lin Yu, a firefighter, there would be no problem.

The tribesmen are even more worried. They have a natural reverence for setting fires. This is an instinct that flows in their blood and passed down from the ancient ape people. There are no creatures in nature that are not afraid of fire, and moths are not afraid of fire. Not fire, but light.

However, as long as you cross this psychological threshold and succeed once, you will become familiar with it and have no worries anymore.

Zhang Tian planned to make this event more ceremonial, so he gave the burning of straw a name: to offer sacrifices to the God of Earth and God of Grain.

This is the so-called sacrifice to Sheji.

Sheji is the collective name of "Taishe" and "Taiji". She is the god of the earth, and Ji is the god of grains. Both are the most important foundations of agricultural society. Sacrificing Sheji is also one of the most important sacrificial activities in ancient my country.

People couldn’t understand the direct statement about Sheji, so I made it clear.

If you have a good name, then your words will not be right. Now that they have such a well-justified name, everyone's psychological burden is not so heavy, and they suddenly feel that setting fires is not a big deal.

On a crisp autumn afternoon, a small fire ignited from the withered ridges of the fields, and instantly spread into a raging fire, with thick smoke rising straight into the sky!
Zhang Tian led everyone to scatter chaff into the fields, thanking the God of Land and Grain for their gifts, and praying for a bumper harvest next year; Lin Yu was watching the fire to prevent it from getting out of control.

He was chanting the prayers mindfully, and suddenly, as if a heavy hammer hit his chest, Zhang Tian felt his heart suddenly contract, his breathing became tight, and his eyes turned black!

The scenery in front of me began to collapse, the suffocating sense of oppression shrouded me like a dark cloud, and the hairs all over my body stood on end like a stress!

With a "bang", he fell to the ground on his back. The moment before losing consciousness, he saw the cloudless dome as gentle as water, and heard the exclamations of hundreds of people like a mountain disintegrating:
"Master Priest!" (End of Chapter)
