Chapter 82: Three tribes 2

After the three leaders of the Flying Snake Tribe had their fill, the rest of the people began to gather around the deceased ng Er, and even a shove occurred among them to get to the warm at sooner.

Cannibalism wasn't considered horrifying in the Flying Snake Tribe. In their tribe, when soone died, the body was shared among the people instead of burial, no different from consuming ga at.

During severe food shortages, or when the loot from raiding other tribes was insufficient, the weaker mbers of the tribe would be killed and eaten. Typically, the elderly were the first to be killed, followed by those with mobility issues due to injuries, and then won. From weakest to strongest, the sequence continued.

This was also why, when attacking and plundering other tribes, they killed the n but looted the won and children from the tribes.

After everyone had eaten, ng Er, who ca to deliver the at, was too grueso to watch.

The two leaders of the Flying Snake Tribe instructed people to remove the bones without at from ng Er's body, discard the internal organs, and then have two people carry him away to continue their journey.

This was their reserved food, sothing they could continue to eat when hungry again.

Having experienced a significant defeat, they didn't leave imdiately but headed towards the main camp of their tribe.

Having lost so many people and gained nothing, the two leaders of the Flying Snake Tribe didn't dare to imagine what fate awaited them when they returned in such circumstances.

One of the two n who had gone to track the Pig Tribe previously was lost in the battle, and the other survived.

After returning to the eting point where they had encountered the Green Sparrow Tribe and the Pig Tribe simultaneously in autumn, the remaining mbers of the Flying Snake Tribe, under the command of the two leaders, followed the person who had previously scouted the path to the Pig Tribe, walking on the snow-covered ground.

The leader of the Pig Tribe, accompanied by his people, trudged laboriously through the snowy landscape. The lack of food in their bellies and the long-distance journey through the icy terrain made them all appear miserable.

Even the strongest leader was weakened, relying solely on sheer willpower.

Cut by the wind, their exposed skin showed small cracks that oozed blood.

Starvation and bone-chilling cold made their movents stiff and sluggish, aptly described as a difficult journey.

The leader of the Pig Tribe used his spear as a makeshift crutch, panting heavily. He forced himself to turn around and encourage the others in the tribe.

Then, he led the way forward.

Now, reaching the nearby friendly tribe had beco their only hope.

In their current state, the leader of the Pig Tribe didn't even have the luxury to worry about whether this friendly neighbor would lend them food.

Reaching this friendly tribe had beco their obsession.

Closer.

Even closer.

The familiar yet unfamiliar river and stone bridge appeared before them.

However

The sight that greeted the leader of the Pig Tribe next left him completely stunned.

In the leader of the Pig Tribe's mory, there was a stretch of woods by the river. After passing through the forest, the destination of their journey awaitedthe friendly neighboring tribe.

However, there was no forest to be seen, only a vast expanse of pure white snow stretching out as far as the eye could see.

At the end of this silver-white plain stood a not-too-high brownish mountain wall.

The leader of the Pig Tribe was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with confusion.

He looked down at the frozen river and glanced at the nearby stone bridge. These matched his mories, but what was on the other side of the river was completely different from what he rembered.

Full of doubt, he felt that he might have gone to the wrong place.

He carefully considered the route and compared it to the one he had taken before, but it was the sa. There was no mistake.

The leader of the Pig Tribe stood there for a while, then led his people onto this land entirely different from his mory.

Whether he was mistaken or not, the leader of the Pig Tribe had to bring his people closer to find out. After all, this was their only hope.

On top of a short wall, Tie Tou, wrapped in animal skins and wearing gloves and a fur hat, stood ticulously watching the movents outside the courtyard.

Yesterday's battle had taught everyone in the Green Sparrow Tribe a harsh lesson.

They couldn't imagine what the scene in their tribe would have been like if those brutal enemies had not been discovered in advance but had silently crossed the wall.

No one dared to underestimate the importance of standing guard and keeping watch. When it was their turn to stand guard, they were fully alert, paying attention to any movent outside.

"Hmm."

Tie Tou, stationed behind the southern wall, narrowed his eyes and stared toward the direction of the river.

Soon, he confird it wasn't a mirage; people were approaching from that direction.

These people walked on the snow-covered ground without any cover, approaching leisurely. There were quite a few; Tie Tou glanced roughly and estimated at least ten.

That damn tribe just wouldn't give up. They were defeated by their tribe yesterday, and today, they ca back again.

"Enemy! We have enemies!"

Tie Tou turned and shouted towards the inside of the tribe. At the sa ti, he pulled off his gloves, grabbed the two wooden pieces placed on the wall, made into a makeshift clapper, and started banging them together.

He struck so hard that his hands were numb from the vibrations.

This clapper was used for alerting and communication. In the absence of bronze gongs, Han Cheng had to make do with this.

Tie Tous shouting, like a huge stone thrown into a lake, instantly broke the tranquility of the Green Sparrow Tribe, creating ripples of commotion.

Upon hearing Tie Tou's warning, the people behind the other two walls imdiately checked their respective areas carefully. After confirming there were no enemies, they quickly lifted one of the two animal skin flags placed beside them and, at the sa ti, shouted towards the bustling courtyard, "No enemies!"

Raising an animal skin flag was to prevent their voices from being drowned out by the chaos, providing a clear indication.

One animal skin flag ant no enemies, while two animal skin flags ant there were enemies. It was a simple code that was easy to rember.

Having just experienced a major battle yesterday, the nerves of the Green Sparrow Tribe's people hadn't completely cald down. Upon hearing Tie Tous warning, they imdiately began to act.

This ti, they didn't make the mistake of neglecting the other two walls. While running toward the southern wall, they also turned their heads to observe the movents behind the walls to the left and right. After seeing flags raised on the eastern and western walls, they boldly ran toward the southern wall without worry.
