The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 179 The Secret of the Fish Tribe
The members of the Mang tribe walked for another five days, and finally arrived at the Yu tribe smoothly.

The Fish Tribe lived by a big river. Looking from a distance, there were continuous stretches of houses and a hustle and bustle of people.

The most spectacular thing is the boats docked by the river.

Countless large and small ships docked by the river, and the Fish Tribe even built a primitive, crude but large-scale pier for this purpose.

On the pier, many slaves belonging to the fish tribe moved the fish from the fishing boats, and then picked or carried them to the fish tribe.

Some of these fish will be eaten immediately, and some will be dried in the sun and used as winter reserve food.

Of course, the fish tribe will also trade with other tribes for the extra dried fish.

After Red Scale returned to the fish tribe, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"The dried fish of our fish tribe is a very popular trade item in other tribes. Do you know why?"

Chen Bei said: "Could it be because it's delicious?"

Honglin shook his head and said, "Deliciousness is only one aspect. The most important thing is that our fish is preserved with salt."

"This is a bit similar to the animal meat and dried fish that your Mang tribe pickles, but our fish tribe pickles a huge amount, and your Mang tribe can't compare."

A look of pride appeared on Honglin's face. The more resources a tribe has, the better life the people in this tribe will have. This is something everyone knows.

The fish tribe's resources are famously rich among the major tribes.

"Where did your tribe get so much salt?" Chen Bei asked curiously.

The reason why the Mang tribe has salt is because it is filtered and purified with saline soil, but where does the salt of the Diao tribe and Yu tribe come from?
"It's a secret, I can't tell you."

Honglin smiled at Chenbei, how could she tell such an important secret to Chenbei.

Even within the Fish Tribe, not many people know the source of these salts, let alone outsiders.

Everyone only knows that the Fish Tribe has an inexhaustible amount of salt, and they are so extravagant that they use it to pickle fish.

Chen Bei thought he was the first person who thought of salting fish and animal meat and selling them to other tribes.

Unexpectedly, the Fish Tribe had already done this.

The wisdom of tribal people must not be underestimated!
They may not have a wide horizon because of the problems in their life circle, but their IQ is definitely enough, and they are not stupid.

After approaching the Fish Tribe, Chenbei found that the Fish Tribe built a high fence made of wood, enclosing the whole Fish Tribe, and at intervals, there were totem warriors from the Yu Tribe guarding them.

Although crude, no one dared to crawl around, otherwise they would be killed by the totem warriors of the fish tribe.

The members of the fish tribe, except for going out for business or fishing, usually can't run around at will, and they all stay in the territory to work.

This kind of fish tribe is different from what Chen Bei imagined. He thought that most of the fish tribes were fishermen and lived on the boats.

It turns out that he thought too much.

Even if the danger in the river is not so great, those fish are not easily caught by ordinary people, and they still have to rely on totem warriors.

In a large tribe, totem warriors accounted for about a quarter, or even a fifth, and the rest were ordinary people, a huge number of ordinary people.

This is very different from the small tribes, where there are more totem warriors, because ordinary people die too quickly in a dangerous environment without food and clothing.

Only medium tribes, or even large tribes, have the ability to feed more ordinary people.

Of course, these ordinary people also have to work, and the tribe will not support them in vain. Everyone, as long as they can move, must exert their value.

Honglin took Chen Bei and others close to the gate of Yutribe's fence, which was guarded by dozens of totem warriors.

"stop!"

As soon as they approached, the totem warriors of the Yu tribe had already raised their harpoons, aiming fiercely at Chen Bei and the others.

Unlike other tribes, the totem warriors of the fish tribe mostly use harpoons, which can be used for spearing fish and fighting the enemy. For them, there is no more suitable weapon than this.

The leader of the totem warrior said: "Which tribe do you belong to? What are you doing in our fish tribe?"

His tone was very proud, because Chen Bei and others didn't even have a totem pattern on their faces, and the decorations on their bodies were even more unfamiliar. They were definitely not from a famous tribe, maybe it was a small tribe.

People in large tribes have a natural sense of superiority when facing people in small tribes, and feel that their status is more noble than the other party.

"I asked them to escort me back!"

Hong Lin walked to the front. She had been in the crowd before, and she was still wearing animal skin clothes, so she was not very conspicuous.

Now she took off the animal skin coat, revealing the tight fish skin coat, which suddenly became conspicuous.

The mid-level totem warrior named "Lang" was taken aback, and said, "Honglin, you're still alive?"

Honglin snorted coldly and said, "Don't you all want me to die?"

Lang shook his head hastily, and explained: "No... dare not, it's because you haven't come back for a long time, and everyone in the tribe thought you had an accident outside."

Hong Lin is the descendant of the fish tribe witch, her status is so high, Lang is just an ordinary totem warrior, how dare she offend her.

Honglin's eyes became sharper, and he asked, "Is it Bibo who spread the news in the tribe?"

Lang bowed his head, not daring to answer.

Bibo is another inheritor of Wu, and he has a high status as well, so he can't afford to offend anyone.

Honglin snorted again, and said, "I know it's her even if you don't tell me."

Honglin didn't say anything further, after all, this was considered a scandal in the Yu tribe, and there were people from the Mang tribe beside her, so she didn't want to say too much.

"Open the door and let us in!"

Lang hesitated for a while, and then quickly opened the door. He didn't know what happened to Honglin, but he knew that this time when Honglin came back, there would definitely be quite a storm.

Ordinary totem fighters like them, it's better not to participate, it's enough to do their duty honestly.

The gate opened, and Honglin led the Mang tribe into the Yu tribe.

When they entered the fish tribe, they immediately attracted the attention of the fish tribe people, because they were so conspicuous, especially Honglin, who hadn't returned to the tribe for several months, and everyone thought she was dead.

Now that she's reappearing, what happened?
After entering the Fish Tribe, more than a dozen totem warriors from the Fish Tribe separated out to follow behind Chen Bei and the others, watching them not far or near, lest they cause any trouble.

Red Scale brought the people of the Mang Tribe to the place where the guests of the Yu Tribe lived, and let them settle here temporarily.

Honglin said to Chenbei: "You rest here temporarily, and I will have food and drink brought over. I will go to see Wu and explain things clearly, and then I will come back to fulfill my promise."

Chen Bei nodded and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you here."

Hong Lin ordered the totem warriors of the Fish Tribe to entertain Chen Bei and the others, and then hurried to the place where the Yu Tribe witch lived.
