Chapter 18 The Silk Road
The warriors of Tanlang Tribe felt powerless when they saw their clan leader captured by the enemy. However, they could not ignore the safety of their clan leader's life, so they could only put down their weapons and surrender.
The leader of the Greedy Wolf Tribe finally recovered and felt a stream of heat flow down his forehead and across his face.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a sharp stone spear pointing at him, which almost frightened him into fainting.
"Don't kill me, I surrender." The tip of the cold stone spear touched his neck, making him afraid to move.
When Su Yu saw them all put down their weapons, he immediately asked someone to keep an eye on him.
"Chief, we found a rope here." Su Yun walked out of a tent, holding a string of hemp rope in his hand.
"Tie them all up and get the others over here."
Su Yu had people tie up these surrendered Tanlang tribe warriors with ropes.
Then the women, children and elders of Tanlang tribe were also gathered together.
"You have two choices now, one is to surrender and join our tribe, the other is to die."
Su Yu stood in front of them and shouted to them.
"Please don't hurt these children, we are willing to surrender." An old man stood out from the crowd and said in a sincere tone.
"Congratulations on annexing the Greedy Wolf tribe. You have gained 500 civilization points, 20 military points, and basic smelting technology (can be used 3 times)."
Su Yu checked it out and found that this technology came in time. He had just obtained the Mineral Encyclopedia, and now the smelting technology has arrived. As long as he finds iron ore and copper ore, he can enter the Iron Age.
There are several tribesmen in the tribe who are talented in smelting. If you give this technology to them, it will be effective very quickly.
After hearing the notification from the system, Su Yu was sure that they were avatars.
After taking a look at their loyalty, they basically all have 70. There is only one exception, and that is the former leader of the Greedy Wolf tribe below.
Su Yu couldn't see his loyalty, which meant that he didn't want to surrender at all.
He shouldn't be able to represent the Greedy Wolf tribe, but the old man just now can.
This is probably the reason why the old man has higher prestige in Tanlang tribe.
The system determined that surrender was only considered surrender when the majority of the tribe surrendered. Before the old man spoke, the others were hesitant and did not express their stance. After the old man spoke, the others who were still hesitating also surrendered with one sentence.
"Now that we have surrendered, we will naturally not do anything to them again."
"The reason why we fought here this time is because people from your tribe robbed our tribe's things. Although you surrendered, now we have to find the mastermind. Except for the mastermind, we will not make it difficult for others to join our tribe.
Those who are left behind will be treated equally.”
After taking a look at the former Tanlang tribe leader sitting on the ground next to him, Su Yu was ready to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
The old man took a deep look at the man on the ground, bowed his waist and whispered back, "It all depends on the patriarch."
The former Tanlang tribe leader seemed to have sensed something, "What do you want to do? I surrender!"
Ignoring the blood on his face, he tried to get up, but was held down.
"Are you so ungrateful?" The leader of Tanlang Tribe looked at his own clansmen, but their eyes were all strange, and he suddenly remembered what he had done before.
He wanted to regret it, but he had no chance.
He was dragged away, and Su Yu asked someone to find a place to kill him directly.
"Chief, he still has several descendants in the Haishan tribe on the other side of the lake. They will come back before winter." The old man suddenly remembered something and reminded him.
"Haishan Tribe, why did he send his descendants there?"
"Every year, the tribe sends people to the Haishan Tribe to trade. There are many tribes from further afield there to trade. It's a customary gathering."
"Trading meeting?" Su Yu was surprised.
"Is there anyone in the tribe who knows the route there?" Su Yu was very interested in this trading market.
"Yes, I have been to Hui Mu." The old man called a young man named Hui Mu.
Su Yu checked his information, and there was nothing eye-catching. There was only one about horse training that Su Yu noticed.
"Do you have any horses here?" Su Yu asked the old man.
"Yes, Patriarch, there is a place with lush water and grass on the coast of the big lake. There are many wild horses there. Originally we wanted to capture them, but it was too difficult to catch them and they could escape easily."
Difficult to catch? It doesn't matter. As long as it is there, it can definitely be caught. Su Yu also thought of a tool for catching horses, a tripping rope.
It will definitely be difficult to catch it with bare hands without tools. After all, a man can't outrun a horse. If a man can outrun a horse, then it's useless to have a horse.
In addition to the trip rope, there is also a lasso. The Greedy Wolf tribe happens to have existing ropes that can be made.
Su Yu talked with the old man for a long time and obtained a lot of information.
The Tanlang tribe has a history of hundreds of years. Hundreds of years ago, three tribes dominated the grassland. For a long time, they were three pillars. In the past hundred years or so, the Tanlang tribe defeated the other two tribes.
Became the overlord of the grassland.
The previous patriarch was the son of the patriarch at that time. The patriarch was very talented and wise, but his son was dull and incompetent, lost his ambition in playing with things, and liked strange items very much.
Every year, his son is sent to trade to select those rare treasures, which consumes most of the heritage left by the old patriarch.
"Take me to see the rare treasures he traded."
"Okay, please come with me." The old man took Su Yu to the former clan leader's camp.
Before entering the camp, Su Yu saw many furs of wild beasts outside. Entering the camp, he saw hanging chains made of various jade and gemstones.
"What a luxury!" Seeing these jewelry, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The most precious treasures of the patriarch are all here." The old man pulled back the animal skin rug on the ground, and there was a stone slab underneath.
Su Yu asked someone to remove the stone slabs, and inside was a small room of several cubic meters.
"How do you know this?" Su Yu looked at the old man, curious.
"This is the treasure house built by the old patriarch back then, and I was one of the people who built it." The old man recalled that time, but things had changed and people had changed. The peak of that year had passed, and he had taken it lightly, and only wanted to keep the fire.
, will exist forever.
Su Yu saw the things inside, most of them jade, gems and stones of various colors.
"Congratulations on discovering iron ore. You have gained 300 civilization points and 10 industrial points."
Su Yu took out a stone from it, and the system's voice sounded in his mind.
Su Yu was stunned by the surprise for a moment. It took him a while to react and asked excitedly, "Where did you bring this back?"
The old man opened his eyes wide and stared at the iron ore for a long time before he remembered when he had brought it back.
"That boy from Huimu brought this back. Go ask him."
"Yeah." Su Yu responded and continued to rummage through the items inside. Unfortunately, except for the piece of iron ore, nothing else could cause the system to react.
"Just put these here for now, and then take them back." Unable to find anything else useful, Su Yu was no longer interested in this bunch of things. He could just take them back as a collection when the time comes.
When Su Yu called Hui Mu, he didn't expect that it was the iron ore he brought back.
Now Su Yu attaches great importance to this iron ore. If he finds the iron ore, the tribe will be able to make iron immediately. The horses are nothing compared to the iron ore.
"Clan leader, what's the matter with you calling me?" Hui Mu was confused as to why the new clan leader called him here again.
"Hui Mu, did you bring this back?" Su Yu took out the piece of iron ore and asked.
When Hui Mu saw the iron ore, he remembered that this was the stone he brought back last year.
