Xu Chen ordered a pause to move forward, and everyone began to cut bamboo.

The group was confused, but after listening to Xu Chen's explanation, they all suddenly became excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

How fast is it to take a boat? Although they are all savages, since they have been accustomed to the speed of drifting downstream and downstream, they have become completely unaccustomed to the original way of rushing over mountains and ridges.

Especially after experiencing the nightmarish torture of the Suhulin, no one wants to do it again.

However, although Xu Chen's idea is good, the reality is quite cruel.

The stone sword and stone axe are barely enough to deal with ordinary small trees, but it is quite troublesome to deal with bamboo. There is a layer of bamboo green on the surface, which is very tight and strong and tough. On weekdays, the iron knife is slightly blunt and cannot be cut in, let alone the more blunt stone sword and stone axe.

In addition, the bamboo is hollow and has a very strong elasticity. When it is chopped up by a stone knife and axe, it will bounce high like it is chopped on a bone.

Therefore, a group of people chewed and chewed with stone swords and axes for a long time. The results were very gratifying. Dozens cut down for an hour and only ten were cut down, which was the most difficult logging project.

If you want to transport all so many people away at once, at least hundreds of them will be cut.

And their large-scale chopping of bamboo naturally frightened the birds living in the bamboo forest and the foot of the mountain, flying overwhelmingly in the sky and hovering and crying in the sky.

This place is not far from the hillside where Ming clan lives, and should be less than ten miles away.

The lake is surrounded by water surface and meadows and swamps, so this movement was soon discovered by the Ming people.

However, no matter how many people discovered it, the Tsaicha tribe and the Ming tribe did not dare to act rashly.

The lessons learned yesterday were too profound, and today they could only wait patiently for the new instructions from the Great Witch.

However, even if they could not attack, they still wanted to figure out what these foreigners were doing against these big and hard bamboos.

Therefore, after the leaders of the two tribes discussed, they sent a group of bold and careful hunters across the swamp meadow area and approached to observe the movements of Xu Chen and others.

If the mountains and forests are their nightmares that they are afraid of, then this hundreds of miles of lakes and swamps are their most familiar hunting place.

They walk all year round and use swamps to hunt various wild animals.

Seeing these bamboos so difficult to deal with, Xu Chen was a little anxious, but did not give up. Instead, he kept urging and ordering to speed up the cutting.

At the same time, he was also thinking more about the bronze sword and axe in his heart.

If there are a batch of sharp weapons and a hundred large bamboos, it will only take half an hour, but now it seems that it will take a day to force it.

Although the progress was difficult, the Tsubasa tribe did not come to harass him, which made Xu Chen feel relieved and felt that the pressure was much less.

From morning to noon, dozens of bamboos as thick as thighs were piled on the lake beach. While Xu Chen arranged for people to continue cutting the bamboo, he asked someone to prepare the bark rope and even cut the animal skin into strips and began to tie the bamboo raft.

At this time, after a large group of Tsai Cha tribe and Tsai tribe members in the Ming tribe's habitat, after inquiring about the actions of Xu Chen and others, they were extremely puzzled and were even more anxiously waiting for news from the Tsai Cha tribe's great witch.

Time passed, and soon it was around the sun set again.

Under Xu Chen's constant urging, a group of hunters worked hard to cut bamboo in order to walk on the water. Finally, they cut enough bamboos to make rafts before the sun sets, but the stone swords and axes they carried with them were almost destroyed.

These stone swords and stone axes are made of the best flint, which are much sharper and stronger than ordinary stone swords and stone axes. If they are protected and used properly, they are only used for hunting or repairing spears and arrows on weekdays, they can be used as heirlooms for several generations, but today they are all reimbursed.

However, the cost is huge, but the harvest is even greater. The eight huge blue bamboo rafts were all tied up.

At this time, in the southeast, a large group of hunters were heading towards the territory of the Ming tribe along the lake beach, surrounded by a young woman in her twenties, wearing simple animal skins, feathers on her head, and holding a thick and long black scepter in her hand. She was the great witch of the Tsscha tribe.

The great witch came to the Ming clan in person, which made everyone who was anxiously waiting breathe a sigh of relief, and they surrounded them and asked the great witch how to deal with Xu Chen.

However, the great wizard did not make a decision immediately. After observing the injuries of all the injured, he inquired in detail about the battle. Then he carefully looked at the gifts that Xu Chen asked the wounded to bring back and some items he picked up during the attack, and fell into silence for a long time.

Since the hunter team set out yesterday morning, she felt a vague feeling that she couldn't explain clearly, and seemed to think something was wrong with this matter.

But thinking that there were only about fifty people coming from the other party, she didn't think too much about it. However, after the tribe members rushed back overnight to send back the news of the defeat in the battle, she immediately became nervous and regretful.

As a great witch, he should not have made such a hasty decision to start an unknown war.

Because every witch has the obligation and responsibility to guide the development and reproduction of tribes, war is the most avoidable act.

Unless it is forced.

Just like when the Tsushima tribe expelled the Hashima tribe.

This war should have been avoided, but because the hunters of the Ming clan fear of curses and plagues, they launched an attack on the tribes brought by the Five Ghosts, causing misunderstandings between the two clans.

However, although the opponent was powerful in force, he seemed to be trying his best to avoid this battle, so he not only put the prisoners back, but also gave them a magical gift.

Unfortunately, she didn't get the news.

Because the team that had already reported the news left the Ming clan, several injured hunters returned to the tribe.

The asymmetry of the news finally caused the second larger conflict. The huge team of the Tsui Cha tribe and the Ming tribe returned in dismay, but the other side was almost unscathed.

Although many hunters snatched back many of the various vine baskets, salt crystals, pottery and animal skins that the other party had discarded when they ran away, this amount of wealth loss was almost negligible compared to the deaths and injuries of more than 30 people from the Tshu Clan.

She was sure that these mysterious and magical things in the eyes of the Thicha people were almost the same as ordinary items in the eyes of the other party.

This battle also caused greater hatred and misunderstanding between both sides.

After the other party knew that the Tsuki Clan was unwilling to communicate, the communication channel was basically blocked. Even if she wanted to meet and communicate with the other party's leader, the other party would not accept it easily because they dared not take risks.

It seems that I am still too young to be so impulsive.

The great witch was very regretful and sat by the campfire with a scepter. On the animal skin in front of him, there were several vine baskets, a roll of linen cloth, seven or eight pottery bowls and pottery spoons, some salt crystals, feathers, animal teeth and other items.

She had to rub and watch every item repeatedly.

Especially the pottery and linen cloth made her feel her heart beating.

Such a mysterious and exquisite item is completely unknown how it was made, but it can be seen that it was made by artificially.

When did such a mysterious and powerful tribe appear in the north that can command at least three tribes? If this is true, how wise and profound should their great witch be? According to the situation analysis, the Five Ghosts may have joined this tribe.

And this time they came, perhaps not because they asked to move back to the lake, but because they came with kindness and communication.

It's a pity that this matter was screwed up by myself.

“#￥%@…”

The leader and leader of the Tsui Cha tribe and Ming tribe were carefully surrounded by others, and some people finally couldn't help asking about their next plans.

Because according to the information I inquired today, Xu Chen and others have been busy on the edge of the bamboo forest about ten miles away, cutting down a lot of bamboo, but they don’t know what they want to do.

If you want to attack, it may be a good opportunity for hunters who are familiar with the environment.

But obviously their young witch no longer wanted the meaningless war to continue, so she shook her head and explained a few words, so she asked someone to take good care of the wounded and wait until dawn before making arrangements.

There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn again in a blink of an eye.

Xu Chen and others did not spend the night in the bamboo forest that night, but changed into another place. After setting up some simple trap mechanisms around the camp, they lit a bonfire and slept with their clothes, and waited for the night.

As soon as it was dawn, the group of people immediately started to act. After having some breakfast, the group carried six huge bamboo rafts and headed straight for a nearby river that had been clearly explored.

There are probably no less than a hundred rivers and streams around this big lake, but most of them are dry in winter, and you just need to follow some rivers with abundant water to quickly enter the lake.

The river is surrounded by wild grass, with a large number of reeds and tall aquatic plants, and there may be large and small swamp silts and puddles, and these places are the areas where water birds and beasts like to gather.

After Xu Chen and others tied all the gifts by the river, they pushed the bamboo raft into the river. Because the water was too shallow to sit on and row, most of them took off their clothes and waded in mud and pushed the raft forward. After half an hour, the river water gradually became deeper. Then, a group of people climbed onto the bamboo raft, and then used the split bamboo as oars, holding the bamboo poles and headed down the river and headed straight for the lake several miles away.

At this time, a large group of hunters were gathering the great witches of the Tsai Cha tribe along the edge of the lake to the place where Xu Chen and others cut bamboo yesterday.

These people shouted loudly along the way, holding spears and sticks, and didn't know whether they were demonstrating or venting.

A large flock of wild birds were rushing into the air and flew around in the rising sun.

A few miles away from them, because of the raft along the river, huge movements flew away the birds along the way, and hovered. From a distance, it seemed as if some huge monster was rushing straight towards the lake from the river beach near the foot of the mountain.

The abnormal movements of the two birds naturally attracted the attention of each other.

And the two sides walked towards each other, although there was a small angle, but they were getting closer and closer.
