Fortunately, in the second year, under Li Hongshen's suggestion, Li Bingbing reached a deal with other people in the alliance. Therefore, every lord in the entire alliance has a breadfruit tree.
This is a win-win situation. The other lords have obtained the breadfruit tree in advance, so they can develop more quickly, and at the same time, they can supply enough fruits to the three lords who are about to enter the [-]-mile mountain.
As for the jerky, it was developed by Li Hongshen referring to the Xiamen jerky from his previous life. He beat the meat of fierce beasts into thin slices, marinated with sucrose, spiritual honey and sea salt, and then slightly roasted on charcoal fire. The purple spirit flower of the Li Bingbing tribe can be smoked to get delicious dried meat.
Because the meat used comes from ferocious beasts, coupled with the pickling of spiritual honey, the jerky meat can quickly restore the physical strength and energy of the soldiers, so that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be well supplemented.
Moreover, after being smoked by the purple spirit flower, its own aroma can effectively relieve the fatigue of the soldiers, plus sufficient sucrose and salt, the jerky meat is very delicious, and it can also replenish the sugar and salt in the body.
Li Hongshen also conducted an experiment on this, letting a soldier eat a piece of breadfruit and a piece of dried meat, and he could continue hunting for nearly a day and a half, as long as he replenished enough water during the period, there would be no problem.
It is a very useful military ration. For this reason, Li Hongshen also specially sold the formula of dried meat that he had researched in the alliance, and made a small profit.
Finally, two months after this virtual market, Li Bingbing and Lin Shengzun brought their team to Li Hongshen's camp, and what was waiting for them was the Hong Tribe who had taken up their territory and had been stationed here for a day.
Li Hongshen brought out all the fighters and pets this time. He didn't think about the result of failure, nor did he want to think about it.
Entering [-] miles this time is a severe test, but it is also full of opportunities. If Li Hongshen's plan can be implemented, then he will really take off.
The [-] warriors held Tier [-] witch guns, and uniformly wore Wuwen round shields on their left arms, and small iron armors on their heads, shoulders, and knees for protection.
The rest of the body is protected by leather armor, which can not only play a protective role, but also not increase the weight of the body and hinder the flexibility of the body.
Everyone was carrying a small package, which contained three days' rations and water bags, and a superb repeating crossbow pinned to their waist.
A trace of cold light can be seen from the hole of the crossbow. The arrow inside is made of animal bones, and the outside is covered with a layer of metal, which is extremely tough and sharp.
The [-] fighters were very tall, but the queue was very quiet. They sat together in a small group of five, looking very neat.
And in front of them sat six people, namely the three witches of the tribe, the chief instructor of the tribe, the captain of the big hunt, and their patriarch.
In addition, [-] adult storm vultures are docked above the rift valley, combing their feathers with their mouths from time to time, but their sharp eyes are always observing the surrounding environment, and they will issue a warning to the tribe if there is something wrong. Forewarning, get the Horde ready for battle.
More than 40 majestic fighting wolves were also on the side of the queue, crawling into a group. The wolf king at the head was nearly four meters high at the shoulder and over six meters long. Under the sunlight, its fur reflected golden light.
When Li Bingbing and Lin Shengzun saw Li Hongshen's team, they were immediately stunned. They had never been to Li Hongshen's tribe before, and they didn't know the specific situation of Hong tribe.
But they guessed that there must be a lot of fighters in Li Hongshen's tribe, but they didn't expect that there were so many, and there was already an insurmountable gap in the fighting power between them.
For example, due to the problems of his own tribal leaders, Li Bingbing only developed a team of nearly 200 people, including five spellcasters and 189 fighters. The equipment is not much different from before.
It's just that the area covered by the leather armor has increased, the bows and arrows made of iron arrows have been filled with three quivers, and the bone blade at the waist has become able to emit some energy fluctuations, but compared with Li Hongshen, the gap is very obvious.
As for Lin Shengzun's number of fighters is even smaller than Li Bingbing's, there are still more than 170 fighters, and there is not a single spellcaster.
However, due to the presence of mines in the territory, the iron and copper weapons in the weapons and equipment are obviously much more than Li Bingbing's, but there are few weapons that can emit energy fluctuations.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go, and try to reach the entrance of the Hundred Thousand Miles Mountain before dark."
Chapter 68 The Journey Begins
"According to what I said before, the team is under my command. From the moment we enter the [-]-mile mountain, the spellcasters will take turns to give the fighters who explore the path a state of boost."
When the three tribes reconciled, Li Hongshen took over the command. Whether it was an alliance or a team, the command could only allow one person to speak, otherwise the command would become chaotic and the team would be scattered.
Li Hongshen divided the soldiers. He and Lin Shengzun's fighters were placed on the periphery of the team, while Li Bingbing's fighters stayed in the middle of the team because they used bows and arrows and short blades.
However, some of them and Li Hongshen's people were also separated to form several 10-member vanguard teams, which were scattered at the front to explore the way. Of course, they will be rotated to maintain good physical strength and experience.
Eight spellcasters are surrounded by an inner circle, and they will take turns to bless the vanguard, and can even carry out range strikes on the herd if necessary.
Soon the team of one thousand people entered the state of going on an expedition, and walked towards the one hundred thousand li mountain in the form of a queue.
Li Hongshen rode a Daha in the middle of the team, Li Bingbing rode a black panther, and Lin Shengzun rode a group of maroon horses, which looked like fierce horses and should be the king of horses in his territory.
Accompanied by their deepening, the forest of ferocious beasts was frightened into birds. These warriors are all good hunters in the wilderness. When they gathered together, they produced an astonishing evil spirit, which caused these ferocious beasts that existed alone to rush to flee. , dare not approach.
After two days of marching, they formally entered the Hundred Thousand Miles Mountain. They didn't encounter the beast guarding the pass, and it seemed that the beast had already fled.
Stepping into the canyon through the entrance, I feel a spiritual wind blowing, everything in front of me suddenly becomes clear, there are hundreds of thousands of old trees everywhere, and I look back at the beast forest behind me.
The two places are separated by this entrance, like two worlds. The scenery of the [-]-mile mountain is exceptionally beautiful, and the air is also exceptionally sweet. The roar of beasts and birdsong slowly come from the wilderness, allowing people to Fully experience the breath of the wilderness.
"Let's keep going, we will reach the camp I marked before in the dark."
The [-]-mile mountain is right in front of you, and Li Hongshen will definitely send someone over to find out the location, at least the place near the entrance must be found out, and it is best to clean it up, so as not to suffer a head-on blow when entering.
The original gatekeeper here was a mountain tiger, very powerful, and was driven away by Li Li many times, but every time it couldn't be killed, it was very cunning.
After several explorations by the team, they found a place for repairing and resting, which was formed about a day away from the entrance, and then it would be blocked by a herd of beasts.
Because of the herd of beasts, Li Hongshen's investigation team stopped here. They also tried to break through the herd of beasts before, but in the end, two soldiers died.
The investigation team that escaped from the herd brought the information back to the tribe, but Li Hongshen chose to stop the investigation. This time he would directly lead people to wipe out the herd of beasts to avenge the warriors of the tribe.
This is a group of jackals, with nearly a hundred fierce beasts, which is the second hurdle to stop the lord.
Wild dogs are not very powerful beasts, even the first-order beasts are only a little over one meter tall at the shoulders, and if you take it out alone, it belongs to the low end of the beasts gathered in the wilderness.
If they got together to form a group of jackals, they would still be at the bottom of the wilderness, otherwise they would not come to live near the entrance and exit.
But after becoming a member of the dog group, they will become very crazy, risking their lives, no matter what it is, they will provoke it, and even if the loss is heavy, they will bite off a piece of the prey.
"This is the place I sent people to investigate before. Let's fix it here. If we go forward for half a day, there will be nearly a hundred jackals waiting for us. Let the soldiers get ready and sharpen their weapons. We will meet them tomorrow. Fighting."
In the early morning of the next day, the team set off again, and half a day later, they came to a valley, where many bones were scattered, and there were some low holes on the mountain wall, with a few green light spots shining inside.
When the crowd walked slowly to the middle of the valley, jackals emerged from the short holes, forming a circle around the team.
However, Li Hongshen did not order to stop, but asked the soldiers to continue moving forward, and if they encountered obstacles, they would directly kill them.
After hearing the order, the vanguard and fighting wolf who were walking in front did not stop, but continued to move forward, which made the surrounded jackals a little flustered and made the encirclement appear to be in a broken state.
In the end, the dog king couldn't hold back, stood up from a small hillside, and let out a few roars.
"Kill, don't hold back, shoot that dog king to death."
Hearing the roar of the dog king, Li Hongshen gave the order before the pack of jackals moved. He never thought of keeping the pack of jackals alive.
Through the introduction in the encyclopedia, he already knew the habits of the pack of jackals, and he would not just slip away just looking at the meat in his mouth, but Li Hongshen chose to act first, and ordered people to prepare before entering.
The dog who couldn't hold back was pierced by three spears and nailed to the ground on the spot.
However, its order was clearly issued, and the group of jackals began to attack the team, but what awaited them were the arrows shot out and the piercing spears. Immediately afterwards, he was cut open by a short blade.
Two hours later, the surviving dozen or so jackals whimpered and ran away with their tails between their legs. Behind them were jackal corpses all over the middle of the valley, and dog blood spilled all over the ground.
Since this time it was a precaution, no soldiers were sacrificed, only the soldiers on the periphery were slightly injured, and they recovered quickly under the healing skills of the witches.
