Chapter 23 Panshan Tribe

However, the totems of most tribes are a kind of spiritual sustenance. Only a few tribes have some magical abilities, so people regard them as the totem gods to protect their descendants.

It is unknown whether these magical abilities are accidental coincidences, the magic of nature, or really the manifestation of totem gods...

...

[The gold prospecting shovel has taken effect. Congratulations on discovering a medium-sized coal mine. 】

[The prospecting gold shovel has entered the cooling period and will be unlocked for use after three months. 】

Qin Yu put away the shovel and looked at the dark coal mines scattered on the ground around him, his face couldn't help but be overjoyed.

As an extremely important energy fuel, coal mine plays a very important role.

From heating and cooking to smelting farm tools and weapons, to promoting the world's progress and entering the steam age, the status of coal mines is indispensable.

Of course, it can only be used for heating and cooking.

However, it is very useful just for heating. Compared with using wood and hay as heating fuel, coal mines can burn longer and warmer.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the toxic smoke produced during the combustion process.

The amount of wood needed by the Dragon Tribe to maintain campfires for heating every day was so huge that it was so large that Qin Yu's construction plan could not be carried out at all. The little wood that was collected with great effort every day could not be saved after burning.

This is a tribe that is close to the mountains and forests. For example, it is a tribe that is far away from the mountains and forests, or there are no timber resources around. How will it survive this winter?

Maybe when the beginning of spring comes, the bones will sink into the ground and become nourishment.

Therefore, the role of coal mines is not insignificant, especially given Qin Yu’s modern priorities.

It was winter at this time. If Qin Yu could open a trade channel and slowly sell the coal mines in exchange for the resources needed for his own development.

Qin Yu felt that three months was enough time to deal with possible crises in the future.

What can the coal mine be exchanged for?

Cattle and sheep, horses, slaves, food, hides, hay, weapons, wood, stone...

If coal mines can survive this cold winter, then more people will choose to spend everything they have in exchange for the hope of spring.

Even Qin Yu had already decided on the name of the trade caravan at this time.

It’s called—Chunwang Caravan!

Okay, he admits, he's a bad name maker.

But what else? Making money and developing is the real thing.

Qin Yu came to his senses and immediately began to order everyone to put the exposed coal mines on the ground into straw frames.

Half an hour passed.

Everyone's hands were already pitch black.

What they got in exchange was twenty frames full of black coal ore.

One basket must weigh a hundred kilograms, and twenty baskets must weigh two thousand kilograms, or one ton.

One ton of coal is enough for the Dragon Tribe to use for half a month.

Although a ton of coal sounds like a lot, its volume really isn't much.

"Clan leader, what is the use of this black stone?" You Ming couldn't help but express his doubts after picking it up for a long time.

"It's used for making fire. It takes longer to burn than wood." Qin Yu explained briefly and then shouted to everyone: "Put the grass frame on your back and remember to cover it with wood. Let's go back to the tribe!"

After the words fell, the members of the collection team reacted quickly. After a moment of preparation, everyone set off back to the Dragon Tribe.

After walking out of the valley, Qin Yu specially asked people to hide the surrounding traces as much as possible to prevent it from being taken over by a certain tribe in the future.

Qin Yu glanced at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon, and then ordered everyone to speed up their pace.

Ever since he met the hundred soldiers in the morning, Qin Yu had always felt uneasy that day.

Qin Yu shook his head and stopped thinking. He would go back to the tribe first. Everyone walked through the mountains and forests with heavy footsteps.

In order to prevent unexpected situations on the way back, Qin Yu asked You Ming to go ahead with ten soldiers holding stone spears to explore the way.

What happened today made Qin Yu understand that there are not only wild animals but also other tribes in the mountains and forests.

A tribe that can survive in dangerous mountains and forests full of wild beasts must be very powerful.

Qin Yu estimated that their personal combat experience should be very rich. At least their experience in fighting wild beasts was much stronger than that of the tribes on the grassland.

"Clan leader! There's a situation!" At this time, You Ming suddenly rushed back from the front and reported with a serious face.

"what's the situation?"

"There is a large team in front of us gradually approaching us."

"Could it be the morning one?"

"Probably!"

Qin Yu frowned. At this time, he could only bite the bullet and stay still. Even if he escaped, the snow in the forest was ridiculously thick and he wouldn't be able to run far.

"Everyone on alert."

After a while, the team actually collided.

The leader is still the tall and strong man.

The tall and muscular man couldn't help but froze when he saw that the person who came was actually a member of the dragon tribe in the morning.

"From the Dragon Tribe? From the tribe in the eastern region of the grassland?" The tall man had a serious look on his face at this time, as if he was worried.

Qin Yu responded loudly: "Yes, sir."

"Why is the Black Wolf tribe on the other side of the lake empty? Do you know anything about the situation?"

Qin Yu was stunned. Is this an ally of the Black Wolf tribe coming to take revenge?

its not right……

The leader of the Black Wolf clan is not dead. If he came for revenge, he should have come directly.

To be cautious, Qin Yun planned to test a few words.

"May I ask why you are looking for the Black Wolf Tribe?" Qin Yu asked carefully.

"The daughter of the patriarch of my Panshan tribe was kidnapped by the Black Wolf tribe. This trip is to find the daughter of the patriarch, and secondly to make the Black Wolf tribe pay the price!" The tall man couldn't help but grit his teeth when he said this. It can be seen that The resentment in my heart.

Qin Yu was stunned.

The Black Wolf tribe kidnapped the eldest daughter of the human family?

"May I ask, sir, how old is the daughter of the clan leader of your noble tribe?"

"Twelve years old."

Qin Yu turned back to look at You Ming and said, "Are there any twelve-year-old girls among the Black Wolf tribe brought back today?"

You Ming was silent for a moment and thought carefully before nodding his head: "It seems so."

After hearing this, Qin Yu suddenly knew something in his mind, and then said: "The Black Wolf Tribe attacked our Dragon Tribe last night and was annihilated. The entire population of the Black Wolf Tribe was sent to the Dragon Tribe this morning."

"My lord, you can wait in the forest and send someone to follow me back to the tribe to pick up the clan leader's daughter."

"But I'm not sure whether there really is a daughter of a noble tribe leader."

"No need." The tall man's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll take someone to go with you in person!"

Seeing Qin Yu fall into silence, the tall and strong man couldn't help but speak out again: "Don't worry, it is stupid to have an unprovoked war in winter to reduce the number of tribal warriors."

Qin Yu had no choice but to nod in agreement. When he returned to the tribe, even if the other party showed malicious intent, the Dragon Tribe was not without resistance against a hundred-man team.
