The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 480 The Evolution of Tribes

The tribe that Song Feng arrived at was a mountain tribe in a war, with a maximum of only a few hundred people, or even less than a thousand.

Even so, based on Song Feng's conversations with the people in the tribe, he could sense that many of the warriors in the tribe were still very proud.

Because their entire mountain tribe was already the most powerful and largest tribe among the many tribes in the vicinity.

For a tribe of nearly a thousand people, feeding them by going out hunting and gathering every day is a huge undertaking.

It can support nearly a thousand people.

This is an extremely difficult task for many tribes in the current primitive world.

According to the chief of the mountain tribe, most tribes in this wilderness have only a few dozen or a hundred people.

Most tribes live in the mountains.

The reason they can be called the Mountain Tribe, and the reason they can gather nearly a thousand people and support them, is because there are powerful bloodline members in their tribe.

According to Song Feng's understanding, those with this bloodline are actually cultivators.

However, many people with certain bloodlines are born much stronger than ordinary people because of the power inherited from their bloodlines.

More often, they exhibit extraordinary qualities like wild beasts; for example, some have long scales, some are as tall as ordinary people, and some have very long arms.

In other words.

What would be considered an anomaly in other worlds is revered as the Bloodline Guardians in this Great Wilderness Tribe; they are the tribe's guardian deities.

Just like this mountain tribe.

Among the tribes, the only ones truly qualified to gather ancient texts and unleash divine light are Shan, the current leader of the Shan tribe, and Shui, the current high priest.

The other dozen or so bloodline holders were the strongest force in the entire tribe and were also members of the hunting team.

These beings with awakened bloodlines, although their cultivation paths differ, all cultivate through the path of their bloodlines.

But here's the thing.

Because the spiritual energy in this world is too abundant, coupled with the power inherited from one's bloodline.

As a result, many warriors who have awakened their bloodlines already possess the strength of a god-like being as soon as they awaken their bloodlines.

This is just power.

The most powerful aspect of these bloodline warriors is the unique power contained within their bloodline. Some can see for dozens of miles, some can hear in all directions, and some have three heads and six arms, possessing unparalleled strength.

These people are more like superhumans than cultivators, and in reality, they have explosive combat power.

Of course.

Since Song Feng had already completed the condensation of the ancient text, and Shen Xi had long since merged into himself, and he also possessed formidable martial prowess, he naturally enjoyed high treatment within the tribe.

The reason why so many people from the mountain tribes told this was because they saw the exquisite clothes on Song Feng's body.

These clothes may not seem particularly attractive in modern materialistic society, but in this world, in this primitive world, they are a luxury they cannot comprehend.

Moreover, Song Feng's clothes were specially made in the laboratory as bulletproof clothing, which was difficult to cut even with knives and guns, making them even more admired by these people.

Judging from various manifestations...

The tribal chief had almost come to regard Song Feng as a legendary strongman from a large tribe.

"The traditions of the mountain tribes are well-established. Why don't you go and find a place with more abundant water and grass to live in?"

Looking at these few mountains and forests, this place is relatively barren, and you have to go far away to fetch water, so it doesn't seem to be very suitable for living.

However, after hearing Song Feng's words, the chief of the mountain tribe shook his head helplessly and then said:
“You come from a large tribe, but we are different. Our small tribe can only try our best to find a safe place to settle down.”

“The lush river deltas are indeed suitable for the tribe’s survival, but they also attract many predators.”

"Although our population is nearly a thousand, only a dozen or so of us are actually able to go out hunting and fight against many wild beasts in the mountains and forests."

“The tribe is already struggling to survive, so it would be too difficult for them to occupy a place with abundant water and grass.”

The tribal chiefs of the mountain tribes all felt quite helpless about this matter. After all, everyone wants to go to a good place, but whether they have the ability to defend it is another matter entirely.

This vast wilderness is not inhabited only by humans; in the ordinary world, when there are no extraordinary powers, there are also floods and ferocious beasts.

Not to mention the Great Wilderness World, a place brimming with spiritual energy.

Even ordinary tribes have powerful individuals who can unleash divine power to kill tigers and wolves, and naturally, there are also great demons in the mountains and forests who have gathered the essence of the sun and moon and awakened their intelligence.

Although legend has it that in the deeper parts of the Great Wilderness there are many tribal leaders who truly control the divine runes, they are able to occupy the river delta and develop tribes of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

But for the mountain tribes, those were just distant rumors.

Those were messages that people could only learn by encountering those who had left their tribes in the wilderness.

Although the mountain tribe is known as a large tribe.

However, throughout their entire lives, no one in the entire mountain tribe has ever ventured beyond the area of ​​a thousand miles centered on the mountain tribe.

If they go too far and the tribe can't help them, they might really lose their lives if they encounter a powerful demon.

Even between different tribes, there is very little interaction except for the exchange of essential supplies.

The surrounding tribes mostly heard rumors about it.

In fact, these rumors had been circulating for countless years and for thousands of miles.

Some young people in the tribes have considered joining a large, real tribe to secure their own safety.

But in the end, the place was deserted.

Some of the rumors about large tribes are indeed true, but most are exaggerated. After all, the more people there are, the bigger the target becomes, and the more lush the pastures they occupy, the more hostility they attract.

This hostility extends beyond the many powerful demons and alien races in the mountains and forests; people from other tribes even try to plunder it.

Few could survive in the wilderness; at that time, tribes had none of the propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame that would be known in later generations.

It's already difficult enough to just stay alive.

Even though the mountain tribe has nearly a thousand people, it cannot continue to grow unless there is a stronger person in the tribe.

Unless the stronger members of the tribe wipe out all the ferocious beasts, monsters, and great demons in the mountains and forests.

But this is not possible.

Only someone with the strength of Song Feng could possess the ability to eliminate those around them, because after truly reaching the pinnacle of Divine Dawn, one's power is inexhaustible.

He has condensed many ancient texts into his body, and can even draw spiritual energy during battles to replenish himself, making him inhumanly strong.

The whole body is changing.

Song Feng even suspected that these so-called bloodline holders might be the offspring of those experts at the Divine Dawn Perfection level who conceived with individuals of the same level.

It's already quite good if a tribe has even one person with that bloodline; perhaps the tribe's ancestors were truly wealthy.

Many tribes are living hand to mouth.

Some tribes with a dozen or even dozens of members still exist. These tribes truly depend on the heavens for survival, as a single monster or beast can devour them all.

Of course, if Song Feng wanted to learn more and know about various key historical events, the tribal chief and the high priest both said they didn't know.

Being able to recount these events so calmly already demonstrates that these leaders were among the more cultured ones, and this is considered a sign of their extensive knowledge and strong memory.

In an era where only symbols are passed down and written language is incomplete, many things are actually difficult to inherit.

Just like the mountain tribes of today. The reason their tribes have been able to maintain a population of several hundred to less than a thousand is because they lack sufficient written language.

The eruption of numerous divine lights requires more ancient texts, but the ancient texts passed down in the mountain tribes number less than a hundred.

Even if there are fewer than a hundred of them, they are spoils of war obtained by the mountain tribes through constant exchanges and struggles.

All the words are engraved on the bones.

Therefore, the people of the mountain tribes also call many kinds of scripts "bone script," where "bone" refers to the bone.

Now the mountain tribe has some resources, and the two tribal leaders who hold power have gathered nearly a hundred ancient texts.

They too can unleash divine light.

Unfortunately, this was already their limit.

The weight of knowledge is revealed at this moment.

Without sufficient knowledge passed down through generations, even if the people of the mountain tribes were to inherit this knowledge for hundreds or thousands of years, they still would not grow.

Even worse, a powerful demon might emerge from the mountains and destroy the entire tribe.

This is despair.

In such an environment, people live hand to mouth, go hungry, and are constantly in danger.

Most people yearn for safety.

In other words, they don't care whether they will be swallowed up by other large tribes. For these tribes that are neither big nor small, being swallowed up by a large tribe is already a great benefit.

After all, in legends, large tribes of hundreds of thousands of people were the ones who could truly ensure the safety of their people.

Unfortunately, this has always remained just a legend.

Song Feng's arrival was like someone bringing them from legend into reality, filling them with ecstatic joy.

After all, this is someone who has truly condensed all the ancient texts into his body, and is even capable of fighting against great demons in the mountains and forests.

With such a person in charge.

They possess sufficient strength to survive in the river delta and withstand numerous external dangers.

Even if such figures existed, they could still develop into tribes of ten thousand people.

The mountain tribe leader didn't care about losing power, after all, the entire tribe had less than a thousand people, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Every year, many members of the clan die from food, drink, and various other reasons.

Even as the leader of the tribe, he was no match for those rulers of later generations. In fact, if something unexpected happened, he, as the tribal leader, would have to personally fight against monsters, which was a life-threatening endeavor.

The reason why these tribal leaders changed so quickly was because if they were unlucky, they could really be hunted down and killed by a powerful demon.

His father was the previous leader of the mountain tribe. He died protecting the hunters from many tribes who had awakened their bloodlines, while covering the tribe's retreat.

At this time, the tribal chief felt more of a responsibility. If they weren't the tallest people, who would be willing to put in the effort?
How are we supposed to live like this?
So when Song Feng arrived and expressed his willingness to live there, the tribal chief was overjoyed.

From then on, he no longer considered himself the tribal leader. He did whatever Song Feng said, as long as the tribe members were fed and safe.

That high priest was in charge of many ancient texts.

After Song Feng arrived, he offered all his resources, as long as Song Feng could protect the entire tribe.

If Song Feng hadn't kept stopping them, this tribe of less than a thousand people would probably have changed its name to the Wind Tribe.

That's how tribes are.

Only the strong can protect the entire tribe.

The leader used to be named Shan, so the name Shan has been passed down from generation to generation.

Now that Song Feng's name contains the character "Feng," those under his protection naturally receive very good treatment.

Because of the appearance of this new guardian deity, the people in the tribe were able to eat their fill of meat!

My God, what kind of life is this?
Looking back, even during their tribal sacrifices, each person only received a piece of meat.

They mostly ate wild fruits, mushrooms, grass roots, and tree bark powder from the mountains.

It's already pretty good as it is.

After all, being able to eat your fill and stay alive is already a victory over 99% of the tribes.

After Song Feng arrived, the appearance of this tribe changed almost every day.

The tribe's people supported him the most because Song Feng possessed extraordinary strength; he could kill many ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests with a single punch.

His physical body seemed indestructible.

The three thousand ancient texts condensed into his body in the best possible way, as if they had grown his physical body to its limit.

Ordinary ferocious beasts are like toys in his hands; only those demonic beasts that have obtained the essence of heaven and earth can put up a fight with him.

Even after one move, death is inevitable.

It's just that there isn't a single powerful demon within hundreds of miles around; otherwise, he would have had to kill a powerful demon of the same level and leave behind a formidable reputation.

Even so, the entire tribe had already taken on Song Feng's appearance.

They can eat meat and have enough to eat.

This is like a dream for everyone.

Even the former ruler of the mountain tribe, Shan, and the high priest, became staunch supporters of Song Feng; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were willing to be his pawns.

After all, even as the strongest members of the tribe, they couldn't eat their fill every meal, because there were still some elderly people in the tribe.

When it comes to the elderly, they are even more impressive.

The elderly who survived were almost all physically strong, and even those who had not been bloodline awakeners possessed some extraordinary qualities.

Having lived for so many years, this was the first time they experienced what it meant to have happy troubles: there was too much meat, which they had to dry into jerky; and there was too much fruit, which they were afraid would spoil.

Because Song Feng killed all the ferocious beasts in the area, the tribe simply set up camp on the nearby river delta.

Although they only used triangular houses built from reeds and trees along the river, the proximity to the water and the abundance of water made them very satisfied.

Even if the houses built are poor, they can still shelter them from the wind and rain, which is wonderful.

As an outsider.

Song Feng taught them farming methods, how to build fences, make clothes, and construct houses. He even personally went into the mountains to catch some antelopes, rabbits, and golden pheasants to feed them.

Although it is only the beginning now, the entire tribe is increasingly transforming into the Wind Tribe.

They need stable food and water, shelter from the wind and rain, a suitable water source, and an ample supply of water.

Those with bloodlines within the tribe can also learn more ancient texts. Even those who haven't awakened their bloodlines can study ancient texts to induce their bloodlines to awaken.

The entire tribe is thriving.

Gone is the feeling of constant anxiety and fear; all that remains is a spirit of high spirits and progress.

Song Feng was the spiritual leader of the entire tribe, and they almost worshipped him as a god.

Providing them with shelter, teaching them knowledge, and ensuring they have enough to eat—if this isn't a god, then who is?
