Chapter 55 (1/2)
The night passed quickly. The next day, it was very bright, and Lu Chen got up from his bed.
He picked up the iron sword and washed his body. Lu Chen strode towards the west mountain.
”You don't need to go out at night. During the day today, you can hunt more wild animals. First go to the dense forest, then to the Black Lake.”
Lu Chen, who feels the crisis because of the strange situation, has no idea to relax. He is ready to hunt now.
While walking, Lu Chen also plans a course of action according to the information given by Uncle Zhuang.
This is necessary. Unlike other villagers who rely on traps to hunt wild animals, Lu Chen is slow. If he wants to hunt successfully, he can only deal with wild animals who can't run.
Most of the wild animals have territory. In order to hunt quickly, Lu Chen must plan his route.
However, after leaving the village, Lu Chen soon found a strange thing.
A group of women in the village, under the protection of barbarian men, marched towards the western mountain.
Such a scene makes Lu Chen a little curious and grabs a person. Lu Chen asks, ”Why are you all going to the west mountain? What are your activities today?”
The woman, who was caught, still wanted to say something, but looking at Lu Chen, she quickly showed a smile on her face, and then, respectfully opened her mouth to Lu Chen: ”adult, don't you know?”
”Has something to do with me?”
”Of course, the Lord killed the fire cow. We went to the territory of the fire cow to search for medicinal materials and food according to the order of Lord Wu Zhu.”
The woman didn't say much, but Lu Chen was not stupid. Soon, he thought of something.
”The fire bull is nothing to me, but its tenacious cowhide, which is almost invulnerable, and the special attack that can set fire, are still a great threat to ordinary barbarians.”
”At the same time, ordinary swords, bows and arrows can't penetrate the skin of the fire ox, which makes it not afraid of group attack, and the village can't organize a team to hunt it.”
”All of this makes the fire bull in its territory unscrupulous, and ordinary barbarians usually dare not get close to it.”
”However, although the fire ox is rampant in that territory, it also protects the goods and materials of that territory, whether it is animals, medicinal materials, or other edible things. Because there is no manhunt, they are kept in the area very well.”
”In the past, there were fire oxen, and the clansmen were afraid to collect them because they were afraid of the threat of fire cows. Now, after I have cleaned up the fire oxen, other people can safely and boldly take the undeveloped materials into their pockets.”
With a little information and his own wisdom, Lu Chen quickly figured out the whole story.
Obviously, the area has just lost its protectors, which is a good opportunity to search. In the past, as long as it is not too lazy, it is easy to obtain food and medicinal materials.
And Lu Chen guessed it was right. All the way, Lu Chen found that there were many people who had already come home with a lot of things.
At the same time, those who see Lu Chen, no matter who, will respectfully bow their heads and say hello to landing Chen.
They are thanking Lu Chen for giving them a chance.
Looking at the figures of those people carrying goods and materials in large bags, Lu Chen also had to sigh that there was a strong man in the village, and the benefits were really too much.
”The strong can protect the village, remove the threat around the village, and expand the hunting range of the village. As long as there are strong people in a village, it is easy to develop.”
”Therefore, the barbarians also worship the strong. After all, the strong are the protection gods of the village.”
Thinking in his heart, Lu Chen's action is not slow.
Lu Chen, who strode along, soon entered the western mountain. After following the group of people for a distance, Lu Chen took a turn and moved in another direction.
But looking at Lu Chen's movements, especially the direction Lu Chen is heading towards, those barbarians' eyes suddenly brighten up.
”Lord a Chen, is this to clean up other wild animals?”
”With the blessing of our ancestors, ah Chen must be blessed with success.”
”If Lord a Chen can clean up a few safe areas, we will have a better winter.”
