Chapter 71 See Blood Seal Throat! (First Update)
Once you enter the tribe.
Sauron immediately smelled a strange smell. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was indeed a bit stinky. The environment of the whole tribe is very dirty and messy. There are feces left by children on the ground. Even the road has not been deliberately leveled, and there is black mud on it. Surrounding the tribe was a patch of low huts, and the simple fence was of no use to Sauron. He could see the low-class aborigines gathering in disorder. There were basically five or six members in a family.
This place gives him the feeling of an African tribe. Even though it has a history of thousands of years, no civilization has been born at all!
War, chaos, killing.
The environment has destroyed the hope of civilization, and only the oldest traditions and orders are still maintained, the inferior natives of the rulers who are numb. Pieces of low-rise huts formed a circle, and only the most central part of the tribe could light relatively rare resin torches. Everything here is so primitive and barren, Sauron can even see rough tools made of stone, and steel is also a very rare resource here, mainly used in weapons and knives, but some bronzes can be seen.
The small-scale indigenous tribes are basically quite primitive, and only the tribes that have established towns have a lot of skills.
In fact, life is far from easy as you think.
The most basic thing is "basic clothing, food, housing and transportation", and clothes are still ranked ahead of food. Maybe in the more civilized mainland, clothes can be bought with money, but there are basically no transactions here. Sauron saw a lot of poorly dressed and inferior aboriginals, and many aboriginal children basically slept with their buttocks naked. Clothes in the overseas islands are mainly animal skins, linen and other plant fibers. Animal skins are of high value, and flax also needs to be specially planted for exchange. If the location of the tribe deviates from the aboriginal towns, many of the most basic living needs satisfy.
The finished fabric here is something that can be used as money for trading and consumption! (Remarks: Similar to the use of cloth as a substitute currency in ancient China.)
Sauron soon saw their food.
Basically no surprises. It's a kind of dark porridge mixed with vegetable leaves and various sundries, and there is ugly black bread on the side, which is the kind of thing that looks like a hard wooden stick. It can be seen that their food is quite sufficient, but there is no oil and water, and the food is messy, because Sauron unexpectedly saw a spider the size of a palm. It's like that in most of the sheds. The lower-class aborigines live in groups, and even if they are engaged in mating activities, they don't shy away from children. Children here are considered adults when they are around thirteen years old.
Sauron didn't stay on the periphery for too long.
He approached the center of the tribe along a somewhat muddy road. To be honest, Sauron couldn't understand the thinking of the indigenous people. With so much labor, why didn't he simply clean up the road environment on the ground? Maybe they were used to this kind of living environment. .
A patrolling guard appeared ahead.
The ground near the center was actually paved with gravel. As soon as Sauron lurked nearby, he heard a series of panting, impacting and groaning sounds, and they didn't just come from one place. It may be because of the living habit of "working at sunrise and resting at sunrise", the aborigines basically have no other entertainment activities at night, so their only fun at night is mating and sports. As a warrior with a higher status in the tribe. They enjoy more food, more resources, more mates.
Everything in this area is much better than the outside, even the decorative sculptures. And the bacon, salted fish, venison legs hanging under the beams and so on. The people living here are warriors from the aboriginal tribe, and they are basically professionals. Possess a strong fighting force, supported by the inferior natives and hold the right to speak in the tribe.
The number of fighters could not be determined.
However, according to Sauron's estimate, at least five people are needed to support a warrior, if this tribe does not annex other tribes. There are at most about 300 indigenous fighters.
There is not much threat to Sauron in terms of numbers!
Because he brought a lot of pirates, basically all of them can participate in the battle, but there are many old and weak women and children in this indigenous tribe.
As it gets closer to the center.
A sense of crisis inexplicably appeared in Sauron's heart. He lurked and approached cautiously, and he could see several tall and majestic buildings. One of the buildings was so luxuriously built that even the ground was covered with fur, and there were two tall native guards standing in front of the door. This should be the mansion of the chief of the aboriginal tribe. It seems that the residence is no worse than that of many generations of nobles. The sound of maids walking can be heard inside. Sauron heard the sound of people and footsteps. what to do.
Apart from this luxurious mansion, there is only a larger yard nearby.
The source of Sauron's uneasiness was this courtyard. Judging from the weird statues placed in front of the door and various mysterious patterns, it was no surprise that this was where the shamans of the tribe lived. Sauron felt a faint fluctuation of the spell, but he didn't dare to approach it easily, because the caster can set a warning trap, which is difficult to disarm. It is possible that as soon as he got closer, the other party would find him directly with a spell trap.
There is a strong smell of medicine near the shaman's yard!
Very, very strong medicinal smell.
The smell of this medicine is a bit pungent, and it makes people feel a little uncomfortable, as if they will be poisoned after staying for a long time. The nearby houses are far away from here. It seems that other people in the indigenous tribe fear more than respect the shaman. There are many weird plant roots and corpse fragments in the sun near this yard, most of which Sauron can't argue with, but this does not prevent him from confirming that the shaman inside is a master of pharmacy!
At least in "Toxicology" in the branch of pharmacy, he is a first-class master.
The natives were masters of poison.
This kind of knowledge is mainly in the hands of shamans, and they will pass on some of it, but the core part is passed on by shamans orally. Due to long-term exposure to potions, many of these shaman priests have resistance to poisons, and some of them even have a constitution that is immune to poisons. They also have some magical abilities similar to black witchcraft, including some weird curse spells.
There is a row of trees near the yard.
This is a strange tree with a height of about 25 meters. The leaves are not very wide. It looks like an arbor, and the bark is white-gray. Sauron glanced at it, his expression gradually became serious, he approached quietly, and then a throwing knife appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"This is?!……"
Sauron carefully punctured a small hole in the tree trunk, and then observed carefully, only to see traces of milky white liquid overflowing, and there seemed to be a faint fishy smell in the air.
With a serious expression on his face, he murmured: "Seeing blood seal the throat?! Arrow poison wood?"
See blood seal throat.
A natural and highly poisonous tree, its real name is Arrow poisonous wood, a tree commonly found in tropical rainforest areas. After the milky white venom in front of the eyes touches the wound, it can quickly paralyze the heart of the poisoned person, block the blood vessels, and coagulate the blood. to suffocation. This toxin is very dangerous. If the poisoning dose is relatively high, even an extraordinary physique may not be able to withstand it. As for the ordinary pirates under Sauron, if they were poisoned, they would basically need an antidote, and the possibility of surviving by themselves was quite low.
"It seems that my decision is indeed correct!"
A trace of cold sweat could not help but break out from Sauron's body. He secretly rejoiced that he decided to come here in person today, and did not recklessly send his subordinates to start a war with the indigenous tribe. Otherwise, when the real action is taken, the casualties of his subordinates will definitely be quite heavy. Let alone the other methods of the natives, just this toxin that seals the throat with blood can make many people suffer. Maybe even before seeing them summoning elemental spirits, the pirates under Sauron would die in all likelihood.
"Looks like a long-term plan! If you do it, you must catch them by surprise!"
Sauron's figure was lurking in the darkness. He took a deep look at the yard in front of him, then turned and walked outside the tribe.
The shaman in here is a big problem!
If he wanted to deal with the indigenous tribe, he and Vivian had to kill the shaman first. Although it is impossible to determine his professional level, it should not exceed the fourth level. Basically, there are very few legendary-level shamans in the overseas islands, and there are also large aboriginal tribes with tens of thousands of people. This indigenous tribe seems to have a lot of resources, whether it is population, land, or other materials.
Even the poisonous arrow wood that seals the throat with blood is of great use to Sauron!
Sauron is here this time.
That is to say, the threat of this indigenous tribe has been determined, and the determination to kill them has also been determined.
How can you allow others to snore beside the couch!
These aborigines are so dangerous, Sauron absolutely cannot allow them to live on this island, I am afraid that the attitude of those aborigines towards outsiders like them is similar, but they are not in a hurry to launch an attack because they can't figure out the details of Sauron for the time being That's all.
Both sides are destined to have only one to continue to exist!
