Capítulo 468: Chapter 272 The Hunting Team Had An Accident
In the Vine Tribe’s residential area, Jiang Xuan was slowly advancing on the path, pushing the unicycle.
This strange mode of transport imdiately drew the attention of the tribe mbers, especially the children, who all gathered around, chattering about what exactly this thing was.
Jiang Xuan stopped in his tracks, patted the unicycle, and smiled at one of the children, saying: “Tian Dong, sit up here!”
Tian Dong, Gou Teng’s son, was already three years old this year.
The tribespeople in this world had very strong physiques, and a child of three was already quite nimble.
“I’m coming!”
Little Tian Dong ran over excitedly, quickly climbed onto the fra of the unicycle, and sat on the left side, feeling very novel.
Jiang Xuan then let another child sit on the right side of the unicycle, and pushed the two children forward.
This attracted even more onlookers, who were all discussing what this thing could be used for.
“I think it’s ant as a mount. Look, it has a wheel for a foot and runs very fast.”
“Right, right, the leader told those two kids to sit up there.”
“You’re wrong, I think it’s ant for battle…”
…
The crowd discussed intensely, their voices attracting more people, and the onlookers grew into a larger crowd.
When Jiang Xuan pushed the two children to the open field in the center of the residential area, the onlookers were already a sea of people, and the Guard Team had to co over to maintain order.
Nan Xing walked up to Jiang Xuan, curiously staring at the unicycle for a while, finally unable to resist asking: “Leader, what is this?”
“This is called a unicycle, it can carry people and also pull a lot of goods. You can think of it as a livestock that doesn’t need to eat grass or drink water. Of course, the livestock can walk by itself, but the unicycle needs soone to push it to move.”
Jiang Xuan looked towards the crowd and said: “Just now, I demonstrated to you how a unicycle can carry people. Now I’ll show you how it can pull goods.”
Jiang Xuan had a few beast hide bags brought over and tied them firmly to the fra of the unicycle with ropes, then pushed the unicycle forward.
As he pushed along, he explained: “Previously, when we moved things, we either carried them directly, found people to lift them together, or used shoulder poles, which was not only tiring but also limited in the amount of stuff we could transport.”
“Now, with the unicycle, as long as the road is smooth, one person can transport as much as several people could before, greatly increasing work efficiency.”
Jiang Xuan demonstrated the use of the unicycle to the Vine Tribe mbers, including turning, braking, and more.
Then he asked the crowd: “Who wants to co and give it a try?”
A teenager warrior was the first to shout: “I’d like to try!”
“ too!”
“I also want to…”
Everyone stepped forward eagerly, ready to give it a try.
Jiang Xuan chuckled and said: “Don’t rush, one by one.”
The young warriors took turns trying to push the unicycle, and when the wheel started to turn, they shouted excitedly, the crowd filled with a joyful atmosphere.
At this mont, Jiang Xuan stood outside the crowd instead, found a large stone to sit on, watching the lively crowd, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Not long after, Jiang Xuan saw the leader of the engineering team, Hong Tu, in the crowd, and beckoned him over.
“Leader.”
Hong Tu approached Jiang Xuan, and because he worked every day under the sun and wind, his skin was close to bronze, his hands were large and rough, and he looked even more honest and reliable.
Jiang Xuan pointed to the unicycle and said: “In the future, our Vine Tribe will make many more vehicles, not just unicycles, but also two-wheelers, three-wheelers…”
“Although these vehicles don’t need to eat or drink, compared to those animals, they need smoother roads to transport things better, so I need your engineering team to build roads that vehicles can travel on.”
Hong Tu asked in a low voice: “Leader, where should we build?”
“First fix the main roads near the tribe, especially the roads between the farmland and warehouses. Once the roads are repaired, and a few vehicles are made, it will be much more convenient for the Planting Team to transport fertilizer, grain, vegetables, and straw in the future.”
Hong Tu asked again: “Leader, how wide should the roads be?”
Jiang Xuan thought for a mont, gestured, and said: “Make them about two ters wide.”
The Vine Tribe had already made a batch of Bronze Rulers with the sa asurent, and the engineering team had so, so upon hearing this, Hong Tu knew roughly how wide the roads needed to be.
“There are still a few ditches unfinished on the new farmland, I can divert so people over to build roads.”
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, saying: “There’s no rush, it’s already sumr, flood prevention is more important than road construction, and those crops are our winter rations, so let’s finish the ditches and then start on the roads.”
“Yes, we’ll finish the ditches as soon as possible, then start on the road construction.”
Jiang Xuan patted Hong Tu’s broad shoulder and said: “Thank you for your hard work.”
Hong Tu quickly said: “It’s not hard, we’re just doing so rough work.”
Jiang Xuan discussed so details about road construction with Hong Tu, then Hong Tu left in a hurry to oversee the ditch construction progress.
Jiang Xuan planned to visit the slting workshop and woodworking workshop to ask them to make more unicycles and try making two-wheel handcarts.
However, just as he had walked halfway, a warrior ran over in a hurry.
“Leader, Hunting Team One is in trouble.”
“What happened?”
Jiang Xuan’s expression instantly beca serious; Hunting Team One was one of the Vine Tribe’s strongest forces, and if anything went wrong, the consequences would be very serious.
“I’m not sure about the specifics, but I heard they suffered a big defeat outside.”
“Did they co back?”
“Yes.”
“Where are they? Take there.”
“Yes.”
The warrior imdiately led the way in the front, and Jiang Xuan followed towards the direction of the west gate.
When Jiang Xuan reached the vicinity of the vine wall near the west gate, he imdiately saw Hunting Team One returning.
Strangely, the warriors of Hunting Team One did not have any bloodstains on them, nor were there any losses, but each of them had their heads hung low.
Furthermore, every ti the hunting team returned, they would bring so ga, but this ti, Jiang Xuan didn’t see even one piece of ga.
This was obviously abnormal.
“Gou Teng, what happened with you guys?”
Jiang Xuan found the leader of Hunting Team One, Gou Teng, and asked him.
Gou Teng lowered his head in sha and said: “Le… Leader, I let the tribe down.”
Jiang Xuan frowned and said: “Explain it clearly, what exactly happened?”
“All our prey was stolen, and even so of our weapons were stolen.”
“Everything was stolen?”
Jiang Xuan felt it was sowhat unbelievable.
Hunting Team One was one of the strongest combat forces in the Vine Tribe, and they had been fighting various Fierce Birds, beasts, and people of other tribes for a long ti, so their alertness should have been very high.
Moreover, with so many people in Hunting Team One, not even the Rat Tribe, which was known for their stealing skills, could possibly steal everything in front of everyone, right?
Gou Teng hung his head even lower, wishing to find a crack in the ground to hide in: “We… We were set up, the other side used so thod, and during the night, made us all fall asleep.”
“When we woke up the next day, the prey had already been stolen, and so of the good weapons were also taken.”
Gou Teng said with lingering fear: “Fortunately, the other side was only intent on stealing and had no desire to kill, otherwise, we might not have been able to co back alive…”
Jiang Xuan listened to Gou Teng’s account, frowning even more tightly.
Which tribe could have such skills to put the entire Hunting Team One, all the warriors, into a deep sleep?
