Chapter 13, Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles
Back to the main story, after Ning Yuan left the grizzly tribe with thirteen warriors, he was walking and thinking about where to camp at night.
When Ning Yuan returned to the Grizzly Tribe's camp, it was almost time for dinner, and after what had just happened, the sky had gradually begun to darken, so there was not much time left for them now.
They had to find a place to camp before it got completely dark, and none of them had eaten dinner yet, so there were three things that were most important to Ning Yuan at the moment, and that was camp, campfire, and food.
Now the only place that can meet these three points is the Victoria Lake, so Ning Yuan left the grizzly tribe with the others and walked directly towards Victoria Lake.
Originally, the place where the grizzly tribe fetched water was a good camping spot, there was a clearing there, and there were not many beasts nearby, but for safety reasons, Ning Yuan still chose to go farther away.
Although Qingfeng and the others did not dare to attack him in the tribe because of his force, Ning Yuan did not dare to guarantee that they would not carry out a sneak attack on his group at night, after all, Qingfeng and the others decided that Ning Yuan would not be able to survive after being expelled from the tribe alone.
But now it was different, there were thirteen warriors who left the tribe with Ning Yuan, as long as they could solve the problem of food, and then find a place where they could hide from the beasts at night, they could live well.
So if they choose to camp near the Grizzly Tribe, Aomine and the others will most likely come and attack them once and for all after seeing the fire.
Now Ning Yuan is like a frightened bird, he is very sensitive to all potential dangers, so in order to avoid this situation, he decided to stay away from the grizzly tribe as much as possible, and not give Qingfeng and the others a chance to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
In the wilderness, fire was the greatest guarantee for their group to survive the night safely, so Ning Yuan instructed everyone to collect some dry firewood while hurrying, so that when they found a suitable campsite, they could directly light a bonfire.
After everyone rushed for an hour, the sky finally got dark, and it was no longer suitable to continue the journey at this time, otherwise it would be easy to be attacked by some nocturnal beasts, Ning Yuan looked around, and finally found a piece of sand by the lake as a campsite for tonight.
After putting the dry wood on the ground, two people were responsible for digging wood for a fire, and the others were responsible for finding some hay to spread around, and everyone was going to sleep on these hay beds tonight.
The campfire was soon lit, and a lot of dry wood and hay were found, and now there were campfires and camps, and the only thing left was food.
"Shi Hao and Shi Qing are responsible for taking care of the fire, Shi Sihai and Shi Pengfei are responsible for guarding, and the others come with me, today I will teach you a new hunting method and take you to catch a delicious new game."
Just when everyone was around the bonfire, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other and preparing to be hungry all night, Ning Yuan smiled and arranged a new task for them.
Touching fish with bare hands is a very simple way to catch fish, Ning Yuan just gave them a simple demonstration, and these warriors learned it well, and even Niu Shi caught the fish before Ning Yuan.
Despite the fact that these warriors are still very young, they are already seasoned hunters, and they have been learning all kinds of survival techniques since birth, so they are particularly quick to learn this simple way of fishing.
It stands to reason that these primitive tribes had their backs to Lake Victoria, and they should have discovered that there were fish in the lake a long time ago.
But neither the Grizzly Tribes nor the other conquered tribes had a precedent for eating fish, and it seemed that they simply regarded Lake Victoria as a huge source of fresh water.
In fact, compared to those wild beasts, the fish in Victoria Lake should be easier to hunt, although there are no fishing nets or other tools, but in the shallow waters, you can catch a lot of palm-sized fish with your hands.
As the saying goes, gathering less becomes more, and it is still easy for a person to touch hundreds of pieces a day. Although a few hundred fish are not as good as a wild boar or a sika deer, the threshold for touching fish with bare hands is also low.
Those who can hunt wild beasts must be warriors of the tribe, and if they come to the lake to fish, they can fish with sound hands and feet, from old people in their fifties and sixties to children in their sixties and seventeens, as long as they have hands and feet.
Ning Yuan had also pondered for a long time, but he had never been able to get a definite answer, and in the end he could only attribute this reason to this dangerous wilderness.
After all, in this age of wild beasts, it is not safe everywhere except the camp.
It may be that because the warriors of the tribe have gone to hunt large beasts, the remaining ones are unable to keep everyone safe in the wild, so everyone except those who cut wood and fetch water have to stay in safer camps.
When they heard Ning Yuan say that these little things were called fish and could be eaten, everyone was boiling, after all, no one wanted to be hungry when they could fill their stomachs.
After the enthusiasm of the warriors was mobilized, the work efficiency also increased rapidly, facing these barbarians covered in tendon flesh, let alone a carp with a big palm, even if the half-arm-long carp was caught by them, don't want to escape easily.
As long as the warriors' powerful hands held them down, and then with the force of both hands, these poor fish could only be strangled alive, except for some black fish covered in slime, other fish rarely escaped the clutches of the warriors.
Ten people only touched the lake for about half an hour, and the small river bank was already covered with dead fish, the larger fish were fine, but the gills were crushed, and the small ones were miserable, and the internal organs were squeezed out.
Seeing that these fish were enough for more than a dozen people to eat for a day, Ning Yuan decisively stopped the fishing operation, he took the soldiers back to the shore, skewered all the fish with grass stems, and then brought them back to the camp.
After returning to the camp, Ning Yuan taught everyone how to grill fish, and in this way, the fourteen people enjoyed a full feast of fish and meat.
"Boss, do you have any plans for the future?"
After a full meal, seeing that Ning Yuan didn't speak for a long time, Shi Pengfei, who was more anxious, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you see the boss meditating? What are you anxious about? Seeing that Shi Pengfei interrupted Ning Yuan's contemplation, Shi Lei said dissatisfiedly.
Ning Yuan had been thinking about the way out in the future, but after being interrupted by Shi Pengfei, he didn't continue to think, first waved his hand to signal the two to be quiet, and then looked at the thirteen brothers who were advancing and retreating with him one by one, and said slowly:
"Brothers, everyone knows what kind of person I am Ning Yuan, I suffered this catastrophe today, and it is rare that all the brothers here will not give up, so I won't say much about the scene.
From now on, you are my Ning Yuan's own brother, although I can't guarantee that I will give you great wealth and wealth, but as long as I Ning Yuan has a bite to eat, you will definitely be indispensable, and the fourteen of us will be blessed and enjoy the hardships together. ”
"Boss, no, big brother, all the brothers here only serve you, and they have always been the first to look forward to you, we believe in you, obey you, and will follow you in the future."
"Yes, big brother, from today on, you are our own brother."
"Big Brother"
"Big Brother"
......
Thirteen people saluted Ning Yuan one after another, although there was no procedure for bowing, but these thirteen people could choose to continue to follow Ning Yuan when he was in the most difficult time, their loyalty to Ning Yuan was already self-evident, so it didn't matter if they went through the procedures of bowing or not.
"Big brother, what are your plans for the future, we can say that we have nothing now, although we can temporarily make a living by touching fish, but this is not a long-term solution, once the weather cools down, it will be difficult for us to survive the cold winter."
"Yes, big brother, Shi Qing's worries are not unreasonable, we must prepare before the cold winter comes, otherwise it is likely that we will not survive, after all, many people in the tribe die in the cold winter every year."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Seeing that everyone was starting to worry about the future, Ning Yuan asked.
Although everyone was worried, but no one could come up with a practical solution, just when everyone fell into silence, the always taciturn Niu Shi could not stand it, and he said in a sullen voice:
"What's there to worry about, since we have chosen to follow the eldest brother and leave the tribe, which one is not putting life and death out of the way, how can we become afraid of death in less than a day.
According to me, we will listen to the eldest brother, and we will do whatever the eldest brother tells us to do, and it is a big deal that everyone will die together. ”
", cow stone, who do you say is afraid of death?"
"You're not afraid of death, you're worried about a bird."
"Okay, don't make any noise, everyone listens to me."
Seeing that a few guys with a bad temper were getting more and more angry, Ning Yuan hurriedly stepped in to stop them and prevent them from continuing to rise.
Seeing that a few guys were quiet for a while, Ning Yuan looked up at the starry sky, took a deep breath, and said slowly:
"Everyone must have seen the eagle, the eagle is the overlord of the sky, can fly freely above the blue sky, no animal can challenge their position as the supremacy of the sky.
Many people envy and adore them very much, but are they natural sky overlords? The answer is no, they are not born to be sky lords.
Each eagle emerges from the brutal competition for survival, competing with other eagles for food when they are young, and competing with other eagles for territory when they grow up.
The eagles we see are the winners, and the losers have long since turned to a dry bone in the dust.
We are now a fledgling eaglet, and if we want to live freely in this land, we must defeat the other eagles and make this our own territory.
The winter is terrible, but there is always a way to get through it, and our biggest enemies now are actually the other tribes that live here.
They will compete with us for all kinds of survival resources, so in order to survive, we must defeat and conquer them, and this is the only way out. ”
"But there are only fourteen of us, can we do it?"
"Nothing is impossible in this world, and now we have no other choice but to survive in a desperate situation."
"Don't talk nonsense, just listen to the eldest brother, we are not even afraid of death, what else is there to worry about?"
"Big brother, now that we have become independent, what is the name of our new tribe?"
"Since we are already full-fledged eagles, then our tribe will be called the Condor Tribe."
"Condor Tribe, Condor Tribe, good name, good name, from today onwards, I will be called Black Eagle, I like black eagles."
"I like the color blue, so I'll call it Blue Eagle."
"Then I'll call Golden Eagle."
"My name is Goshawk."
......
In this way, the Condor tribe belonging to Ning Yuan was officially born.
Ning Yuan is eldest brother was named the Eagle King, the second Black Eagle Shi Hao, the third Gray Eagle Shi Qing, the fourth Stone Eagle Shi Lei, the fifth Flying Eagle Shi Pengfei, the sixth sea Eagle Shi Sihai, the seventh Golden Eagle Niu Jin, the eighth white-headed eagle Niu Mountain, the old nine goshawk Niu Wanli, the old ten Sparrowhawk Niu Xu, the eleventh red eagle Niu Yu, the old twelve giant eagle Niu Shi, the thirteenth vulture Niu Yong, the fourteenth blue eagle Niu Gong.
These thirteen people could be seen from their surnames, they were from two tribes, namely the Black Rock Tribe and the Bison Tribe, and when these two tribes were annexed by the Grizzly Bear Tribe, Ning Yuan was the one who led the team.
Although Ning Yuan killed the patriarchs of their respective tribes, these were commonplace in this era when the strong were respected and the weak were the strongest.
Except for the true relatives of the patriarch, no one will hate Ning Yuan, on the contrary, many people admire Ning Yuan's strength very much, and some hot-blooded young people worship Ning Yuan very much, and it is from this time that Xiong Shan began to be wary of Ning Yuan.
