Chapter 22 The Tribes Do Not Share the Same Joys and Sorrows

Lu Yao read [Grandmother]'s begging again and again to confirm that he understood it correctly.

The sea monster was indeed born by the women of the Donghe tribe.

[Grandmother] also explained the reason.

Among the babies born in the Donghe tribe, female babies will grow up healthy. But if a male baby is born, the baby will grow scales and tails in a short time, and the body will be hunched, gradually turning into a lizard-like aquatic monster.

The sea monster is extremely powerful, and the scales are indestructible. Their bodies will continue to grow and shed layers of skin. Until the end of their short life.

Their disadvantage is that they cannot stay away from water.

As for the reason, the Donghe tribe is not clear. They only said that this is a gift from praying to God, and the birth of the sea monster allows them to rule the entire water area.

Not long ago, the sea monster group collectively suffered from a disease that had never been seen before.

The Donghe tribe could not cure it, and watched the once mighty and majestic sea monsters lying sickly in the water one by one. In addition to the three dead heads, some of the sea monsters have already turned their bellies upside down on the water surface, foaming at the mouth, and it seems that they will not live long.

This also made Lu Yao sigh a little.

The sea monster in front of the stage: strong body, thick skin, oppressive appearance, and domineering.

The sea monster behind the scenes: tragic life experience, painful fate, weak and sluggish body, and disease.

The sea monster that seems invincible in the water is not only the result of the male baby's mutation, but also encounters the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor.

In desperation, [Grandmother] had to come here and ask for help from the local gods.

That is Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was a little helpless with this request.

Unfortunately, I am not the God of Medicine.

Among miracles, there are only various natural phenomena and disasters, but there is no such thing as great healing.

There are more than 300 people in the Garlic Tribe, including the shaman, a total of three pharmacists. Treating patients is very scarce, let alone treating sea monsters.

[Grandmother] just prayed silently outside the temple and confessed to the gods. This secret, which concerns the survival of the tribe, she did not tell the prophet and the shaman.

Lu Yao pondered.

There are too many reasons why the sea monster is sick. The water is too cold or too hot, there are too many aquatic plants, climate change affects... It may even be the birth of an infectious disease exclusive to sea monsters.

At present, he can only say that he can't help.

The development of Donghe tribe's civilization is not ideal, but the garlic tribe has ushered in another landmark event.

[Writing is gradually popularized in the garlic tribe, and the garlic tribe has learned to use names. ]

With this reminder, Lu Yao found that the little people in the garlic tribe have their own names appearing on their heads one after another.

[The prophet] is called Nonglai.

[The shaman] is called Liecang.

The pig and fish brothers finally have their own names.

The one who loves wild boars is [Hero] Lietou, and the one who likes fish is [Hero] Yuzou.

There are two big surnames in the garlic tribe. Farmers are all surnamed Nong, and hunters are all surnamed Lie.

In addition, a small number of fishermen who appeared because of fishing nets are surnamed Yu. The two carpenters are surnamed Mu, the pharmacist is surnamed Yao, and the salt people are surnamed Yan.

In summary, the names of each person in the Garlic Tribe are based on their own occupations.

It can also be seen here that although the [Prophet] and [Shaman] are the leaders of the tribe, the leadership status is not a full-time special position. Their respective jobs are actually farmers and hunters, and they also do related labor on weekdays.

The use of text has made specific names a unique symbol of each little man. The birth of names has also allowed pixel little men to have more complex self-thinking and close communication.

Lu Yao noticed that two little men were exchanging their experiences.

One of them is called Nong Yu and the other is called Yu Huan.

Nong Yu asked: "The grains in the farmland, wheat and potatoes can be planted in spring and harvested in winter. Is it the same for fish in the water?"

Yu Huan said: "Fish in the water grow by themselves, just like wheat."

"Then if the fish are planted in the soil in spring, will they grow more in summer?"

"Of course not. Fish can only live in water."

Yu Huan suddenly had an exclamation mark on his head: "What you said seems to make sense. Although fish cannot grow in the soil, if you make a piece of 'water farmland' by the river, you can raise fish in it, just like harvesting wheat, and you can catch a lot of fish directly in autumn."

"You have to spread fertilizer."

Nong Yu said: "Fish eat insects, and there are many insects in the farmland. You can feed these insects to the fish, and they will grow bigger and more."

"That's right!"

The two little men suddenly became excited and ran to the river together to start exploring.

Lu Yao then turned his attention to a little man named Mu Hao.

Mu Hao was one of the two carpenters in the tribe, and he was cutting wood in the forest at this time.

The tools of the Garlic Tribe were still mainly wood and stone, so carpenters used stone axes, and it was very laborious to chop trees. But at this time, Mu Hao was leisurely, taking a walk alone, with helpers working for him.

After a period of exploration, he found a good way.

Mu Hao found a small animal called [beaver] by the river, which would chew trees to build nests. He raised beavers with wheat, and would bring these small animals out every day when he went out to chop trees.

This route, which was a bit like clicking on a skill tree, was very effective in a short period of time.

There were many more situations like the above.

At this time, Lu Yao could feel that the Garlic Tribe had finally come out of its primitive state of confusion, and everyone began to think about how to live better and work more efficiently.

Just as Lu Yao was observing the lives of all living beings, Isabel, who had not been heard from for a long time, finally sent back a message.

She found the Bedou tribe in the southern desert.

But unlike the rumors, there are only 32 people left in the Bedou tribe now, and the oasis where they lived for generations has also been occupied by a group of desert monsters. The Bedou tribe almost fled all the way to the Garlic Tribe.

After losing the oasis, their population dropped drastically, leaving less than one-tenth of the population at its peak. Due to their hasty escape, the Bedou tribe did not take any property with them, but just rode camels and ran wildly.

When Isabel met them, the Bedou tribe was encountering a group of desert bandits.

She described: "The bandits were wearing simple black clothes, but linen clothes inside, carrying cloth bags, and they were from the Salt Pond Tribe."

Isabel, the apostle, took action and killed half of the bandits, and brought the rest of them together after being captured, a total of 11 people.

The little people of the Salt Pond Tribe disguised as bandits, strung together like candied haws, walked dejectedly behind Isabel.

[Because of the persuasion of Apostle Isabel, the Bedou Tribe joined the Garlic Tribe. ]

[The Garlic Tribe and the Bedou Tribe merged, and their faith was slightly improved. ]

The population rose to 347 people.

The faith value increased by 120 points, and the total faith value was restored to 160 points, and the miracle reserve was sufficient again.

Lu Yao's eyes were fixed on the two livestock brought by the Bedou Tribe.

Camels and sheep.

Animal husbandry finally had a clue.
