Chapter 426 Attack ([-])
Nearly half a year has passed since Zhou Yu's expedition team settled in this indigenous tribe in the west of the Divine Land.

After getting along for this period of time, the expedition team members have completely integrated into this small tribe.

Like Zhou Yu, many young students had sex with local women. In half a year, there were many more pregnant women in the Salt Department.

Although most people look for these women to relieve their physical needs, Zhou Yu doesn't think so. Under his influence from childhood, he subconsciously believes that since a new life is born between a man and a woman, there should be a relationship between them. It is the relationship between husband and wife.

For the woman who was pregnant with him, Zhou Yu always regarded her as his wife. When he returned to Xia Kingdom, he hoped that he could bring her back.

As for the Ministry of Salt, after obtaining the advanced technology brought by these Xia Guo students, the way of life has undergone a great change.

Although Xia Guo's expedition team came here more than ten years ago, but at that time Xia Guo sent out ordinary people who could not read big characters, and those people had just left Rumao and blood drinking, so what they could bring to this tribe was extremely limited. .

But these students are different. They were forced to receive education in Xia Guo since they were young. It can be said that they are very rare high-achieving students in this era.

Although they failed the scientific examination, Zhou Yu and the others were like omnipotent gods to these aborigines who lived in the mountains for generations.

Zhou Yu and the others met the people of the Yan tribe to improve their bows and arrows, cast nets to catch fish, and they found many vegetables here. Most importantly, there are a lot of sweet sorghum growing here.

The discovery of these things allowed the Ministry of Salt to transition from the era of hunting and gathering to a lifestyle of half farming, half fishing and hunting.

On the relatively flat hillside, a large open space was burned out. After the sorghum seeds were planted, after several months of growth, the fiery red sorghum on the hillside grew very gratifyingly.

This scale is not worth mentioning to the expedition members who are used to seeing the vast fertile farmland of Xia Kingdom.

But for the Ministry of Salt who tried farming for the first time, it is indeed a gratifying event.

There is Zhou Yan, the young patriarch of the Yan Department. Although he has never eaten sorghum rice, these Xia people have mentioned the deliciousness of rice more than once.

I don't know how long these sweet sorghums have grown here. Before, he only knew that the stalks of this thing tasted very sweet, and the red seeds were all thrown aside.

Thinking about it now, it was such a reckless waste, which made him regret it endlessly.

He didn't know how much he could harvest from these sorghums, but seeing the food he planted with his own hands increasing day by day, he knew that the good days of the salt department might be coming soon.

A few days later, after confirmation by the team members, it was time for sorghum to be harvested.

The clansmen of the Yan tribe all dispatched to start a harvesting battle in a hurry.

Sweet sorghum is a plant that can be said to be full of treasures. In the Xia Kingdom, sorghum seeds can be used to make city rice or to make wine.
The straw can not only be used to boil sugar, but the remaining residue is also a good material for making paper.

But for the salt department, the most important thing for sorghum is the seeds. It is impossible to boil sugar. If you want to taste the sweetness, you can only eat those stalks like sugar cane.

However, tearing the hard skin of sorghum with teeth is not an easy task, especially for those children in the tribe who are at the age of changing their teeth, the temptation of sweets is extremely huge. In order to take a bite of this rare taste, I don't know how many children have paid a terrible price, and their gums were cut with blood by the sharp edges of the straw.

A few days after harvesting the sorghum, just as everyone in the Ministry of Salt was expecting to eat the first meal of the legendary sorghum rice, the sentinel who returned in a hurry broke this beautiful illusion.

Zhou Yan was shocked when he heard the spies' report.

"What, Hongshan was attacked by those monsters, didn't anyone escape?"

The spy replied solemnly: "Patriarch, what I said is true. I saw a few monsters suddenly appear in the Hongshan tribe with my own eyes. It happened so fast that they all died. If it weren't for the few of us Good luck, if we had arrived at the Red Mountain half a day earlier, we would probably have died too."

"Since the Hongshan tribe has perished, I didn't expect those monsters to develop so fast."

Zhou Yan's face turned pale when he was shocked by the sudden bad news.

The Hongshan tribe is not far from the Yan tribe, and it can be reached in about two days. Although the Hongshan tribe is suitable for a small tribe, it is not impossible to be wiped out by those monsters without any resistance. They also had crossbows made by Xia people, and they all ended up like this.

Zhou Yan suddenly had a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit.

Seeing Zhou Yan's appearance, the captain said: "Patriarch Zhou, it seems that we can't wait any longer. The Hongshan tribe is attacked, and maybe we will be the next one. We must unite those tribes. Now Ballista and The number of bows and arrows is barely enough, and it will be dangerous to delay."

Zhou Yan came back to his senses when he heard the words, and quickly said to several tribesmen: "Now, you immediately notify those tribes and ask them to meet up with Yanbu as soon as possible, and tell those leaders that if you don't want to die, you should immediately put aside everything and take it with you." The family moved immediately."

"Yes!"

Several clansmen responded, took weapons and food, and left the tribe non-stop. This matter is related to the life and death of the entire tribe, and there is no room for delay.

After watching the people who sent the message disappear into the distance, Zhou Yan said to them anxiously, "Can we defeat those monsters?"

The captain was silent for a while and said: "Patriarch Zhou, we have been preparing for half a year, just for this time, as the leader of the Salt Department, you must not have any timidity. Since you do not intend to leave here, guard this thing with the belief that you must die. Here, your every move affects your clansmen, and they are all watching you from behind."

Zhou Yan calmed down at the captain's words, and saluted solemnly: "Facing the reminder you gave me, don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely protect my people."

The captain nodded and said: "Let's start preparing now. We can't let those monsters attack us first. We must take the initiative. We all know where those monsters' lairs are. When other tribes arrive, we will act immediately, old and weak. Women and children must go to a safe place, and it depends on this time whether these monsters can be wiped out."

Zhou Yan nodded solemnly, and said: "Xiaren, if I die, please take my people out of here and let them go to Xia Kingdom with you."
