Because of the revenge massacre of the Thousand Masks tribe, the travellers discussed for a long time. Even when they set off again, they continued to talk about similar things over the years. This allowed Shao Xuan to obtain some new information.
Not to mention, other than the Thousand Masks tribe, there were a few other tribes that were recorded in the animal skin rolls left behind by their ancestors.
Shao Xuan marked the animal skin rolls according to the information he obtained, then carefully rolled them up and put them away. These were all to be brought back to the Yanjiao tribe.
If the Yanjiao tribe returned, would they be able to regain their former glory?
Shao Xuan was looking forward to that day.
Shao Xuan and Yu did not mention to the others that they had encountered the Thousand Masks tribe. After traveling on the river for another two days, the traveling group abandoned the wooden raft and changed to walking. This was because it was inconvenient to use wooden rafts to travel further. Although there was also a river, it was not as fast as walking. Later on, they had to go to higher places.
The area in front of them was located at a higher elevation. It was said that there were endless grasslands and snowy mountains.
It sounded like some places in the hunting area of the Yanjiao tribe.
The grasslands were very large, and there were many large and small tribes scattered there. Wars often broke out between the tribes there. The traveller team would not go deep into the grasslands, nor would they get involved in matters related to war. They were just passing through the grasslands and would exchange things with the tribes there.
At this time of the year, the grass on the grasslands was green.
Walking along the river and stepping onto the grasslands, Shao Xuan looked around.
The sky was high and the air was cool. The grass was green, and there were some small flowers that he could not name blooming on the grasslands. They had a faint fragrance.
Looking ahead, the green grasslands stretched as far as the eye could see.
In addition to the river that crossed the grasslands beside Shao Xuan, there were many small lakes scattered across the grasslands. The lake water reflected the blue sky.
Among them, there were also some smaller rivers that passed through the large and small lakes. The water was clear, and there were some small fish swimming quickly.
"This is the grasslands. If we go a little further, we will enter the 'Feng' tribe." An experienced traveller next to Shao Xuan said.
The Feng tribe was one of the tribes on the grassland. The team of travelers happened to pass by the Feng tribe. The Feng tribe was already familiar with the traveling team. They had been on this path for many years, and both sides had long understood each other.
For the people of the Feng tribe, the tribes of the travellers were too far away from here. They didn't have the problem of fighting for territory with them. The long distance posed no threat to them. What's more, every time these travellers passed by, they could take out some of their tribe's products to exchange with the travellers.
Many people in the tribe liked this kind of trade. They didn't need to leave the tribe to exchange for some rare things. It was simple and convenient.
For the travellers, they could exchange things and pass through the grassland under the protection of the Feng tribe. This was a win-win situation. Therefore, they didn't mind taking a step back during the exchange.
"Where are the people of the Feng tribe? I don't see anything. "Yu looked around and said.
"They don't live here, but this is their sphere of influence. Sometimes, the Feng tribe will send people here to patrol. If we walk a little further, we should be able to meet the patrol team. "The person next to him said.
"The Feng tribe's territory is so big!" Yu said with emotion.
"This is big? If you see the real big tribes on the grassland, won't your eyes pop out? " The person next to him laughed, "Many tribes on the grassland raise some cattle, sheep, horses and so on. They also hunt, but there aren't many prey here. Most of the time, they eat those raised animals. And those raised animals need to eat grass. The grass on the grassland is for those raised animals. If there isn't enough grass, they won't be able to raise many animals. "
Without raised animals, there would be no source of food. Naturally, the tribe wouldn't have a good life. Listening to the person next to him, Yu nodded in understanding. Most of the grassland here was not dense forest. There weren't many beasts living here, unlike their Pu tribe. Even if they didn't have the things brought back by the travelers, they could still find food in the surrounding forest.
As they were talking, Shao Xuan heard a rumbling sound. The ground under his feet also trembled.
"Someone is coming."
"Don't worry, it's the Feng tribe's patrol team."
"By the way, do you know that there are many tribal warriors on the grassland who ride horses?"
"Ride horses?" Yu had only eaten horse meat. He really hadn't ridden before.
Shao Xuan and the other travelers looked in the direction of the sound.
Over there, there were some large mounds that were covered with green grass.
As the rumbling sound got closer and closer, at the place where the mounds met the blue sky, a figure emerged. Soon, more figures appeared in everyone's line of sight.
The patrol team had a dozen or twenty people patrolling everywhere. Sometimes, they moved in large groups. Not all of them were members of the patrol team. Most of them were other members of the tribe. The people of the tribe wouldn't stay in the place all day long. When they were free, they would ride horses and gallop in groups on the grassland.
Hundreds and thousands of horses galloped down from the huge green mound towards the group of travelers, bringing with them a majestic aura.
When the horses approached the traveling team, they began to slow down. In the midst of neighing and whistling, the horses gradually stopped and surrounded the traveling team.
Several team leaders of the traveling team also knew the leader of the group. They greeted him with a warm smile and chatted with him. They also threw him some rare things on the grassland that they had exchanged on the way.
The leader of the Feng tribe took the things and said, "Many people in our tribe have been waiting. A few days ago, someone asked when you would come. Today, we finally see you."
Seeing the traveling team, the people of the Feng tribe were very happy. Some of them shouted that they wanted to go back immediately to prepare the items they wanted to exchange. Others controlled the speed of their horses and followed the traveling team. As they walked back to the tribe, they asked the traveling team what new things they had. A young man even chatted with Yu. He was very interested in the frog poison that Yu had brought. He also asked Yu to teach him how to use those poisonous stingers.
Shao Xuan chatted with the leader of the Feng tribe's patrol team about the Chacha.
The leader of the patrol team was called Yi Bei. Seeing the eagle in the sky, Yi Bei stopped looking down on Shao Xuan.
Yi Bei didn't have the same fear as the Pu tribe's leader, Guang Hou. They didn't reject Chacha, this giant eagle. As long as it didn't attack the beasts raised by the tribe, they were quite happy to let Chacha fly over their tribe.
Because every day, there were many big birds in the sky that took away the livestock raised by the tribe, and the Feng tribe didn't have their own trained eagles to defend themselves. Usually, they could only make some artificial defenses. Yi Bei didn't expect that there would be a person with a giant eagle in the traveling team. He also became more enthusiastic about Shao Xuan.
Seeing Shao Xuan walking together with the people of the Pu tribe, and that they were quite familiar with each other, Yi Bei thought that Shao Xuan was also from the Pu tribe. It was just that he didn't have the painting on his eyes. They weren't very curious about other tribes. They had been here before, and now that they were familiar with each other, there was nothing new. After all, they were just passers-by.
In the traveling team, there were also some people from the Pu tribe. After leaving the tribe, they temporarily wiped off the painting on their eyes. In this way, Shao Xuan became less conspicuous.
The traveling team followed the people of the Feng tribe to the Feng tribe's encampment. It was already late, and the traveling team couldn't just leave after trading. After walking so far, they took advantage of this opportunity to stay in the Feng tribe for two days and rest. After passing through the grasslands, they would enter the central region. At that time, they wouldn't have so much time to rest.
The grasslands were beautiful, and they could hear many people singing. There were also some children playing and fishing by the river and lake. Around them, there were adults and children riding horses. It looked peaceful. It was impossible to imagine that this tribe had fought with another tribe not long ago.
Not long after, Shao Xuan saw some houses made of animal skin, grass, and wood not far away. Some of them looked like tents.
"Tonight, we'll rest here. This place is for you to rest." Yi Bei pointed to a row of simple wooden houses and said.
Although there were many wooden houses, there were also many people in the team. They had to squeeze in.
Shao Xuan, Yu, and the others entered the house together. After tidying up a little, Shao Xuan looked at the other places of the Feng tribe from the window.
In some wooden fences, there were many strange-looking cattle and sheep. Perhaps they were the wild domesticated breeds of the grasslands. They were different from the cattle and sheep Shao Xuan had seen before. Further away, there were also some people who were herding herds of cattle and sheep back home.
"Right, didn't they say that the tribes on the grasslands would also take in some wanderers? Where do they live? "Shao Xuan asked several experienced people next to him.
"The wanderers don't live here. This is where the people of the Feng tribe live. Sometimes they entertain guests here. But other than that, the wanderers live over there." The man said, pointing in one direction.
Shao Xuan looked in the direction he was pointing. There was a big green mound there, and on the other side of the mound, there were tourists.
Although the people of the Feng tribe usually asked the wanderers for help and gave them a small reward, they were still on guard.
Over the hills, Shao Xuan could see some mountains that were not very high. The peaks of the mountains were covered with green. There weren't many trees, and most of them were grasslands and stones.
Further away, he could vaguely see some mountains with white peaks. That was the territory of other tribes.
Hearing that the travel team had come, many people of the Feng tribe brought things to trade with the travel team. Shao Xuan didn't want to trade. He had hunted a cow on the way, and there was still a lot of roasted meat left. The remaining water moonstones would be used in the central region.
However, when Shao Xuan was bored on the raft, he used some animal bones and horns to polish and carve some things. He had two bone knives and several bone ornaments carved into various ferocious beasts. A middle-aged man traded them for a leg of lamb. That man liked these things very much, so he traded them for his children.
When the sky gradually darkened, fewer people came to trade. After eating, the people of the travel tribe went to rest.
Looking at the dark sky, Shao Xuan planned to go to the place where the wanderers lived tomorrow. He had a feeling that he could find the person he was looking for here.
