Chapter 1110: The Plundering Clan

At Fengying's suggestion, Aibo didn't tell Mushroom too much in detail, only saying that they wanted to visit the plundering tribe's base and meet its friends.

Maybe because of the food they carried, Mushroom had a good impression of them and readily agreed.

To be honest, Aibo was still a little concerned about the so-called "plundering" name of "plundering tribe".

Could it be a group of robbers?

If it was just her, she would not dare to approach this group of Deter rashly, but with Fengying and Amber, it would be different, even if it was really a group of robber cats.

Well.

It's definitely not them who ended up miserably.

Led by Mushroom, the group drilled in and out of the maze-like underground cave, and went around for several kilometers. Finally, after drilling through a narrow corridor that the two girls could only barely squeeze through, they finally arrived at their destination.

It was a dark and narrow cave. Not to mention the tents and totems commonly seen in the Detel camp, there was not even a bonfire. The area was less than 100 square meters. It felt like it was hard to turn around once you entered.

The spring water on the stalactites on the top of the cave dripped down, forming a small puddle of clear water on the ground.

According to Mushroom, this was one of the few clean water sources nearby that could be drunk directly, and it was also the main reason why their plundering tribe chose this place as their base.

Several Detels were curled up in the narrow cave, one of which was a cub, and the other three were adults. None of them were in good physical condition, with some disabilities. The worst case was that the entire right claw was gone.

Noticing the approach of a strange breath, the three Detels immediately grabbed the bone staffs and stared at them with their fangs bared, but their slightly trembling tails proved that they were also afraid.

Mushroom hurriedly meowed and explained a few words, but the two Detels still did not relax their vigilance until it took out the few pieces of food that Feng Ying had given it, and its fellow tribesmen put down the bone staffs in surprise.

In their minds, these strange "big orcs" who could share their precious food must be good people.

Mushroom told them about his previous experience with gestures and meows. After hearing that Feng Ying could actually deal with the "corpse dragon" for a long time without being injured, the Detel with a broken right claw looked at her a few more times in surprise.

And through Mushroom's introduction, Feng Ying and the others learned that the one-armed Detel was the leader of the plundering tribe, named Moss.

Their plundering tribe, including the cub, only had seven members. In addition to the five present, there were two more who were out foraging and had not returned yet.

This was the first time Feng Ying knew that the size of the Detel tribe could be so small. This was barely the level of a family, right?

After a moment of surprise, Feng Ying sat down in front of these skinny Detels, and asked her partner for a few more pieces of food to carry and handed them to them.

Anyway, Ai Bo brought a lot with him.

The mosses were very grateful and shared half of the food. It was obvious that they were not full, but no one was greedy.

Feng Ying couldn't help but cover her face when she saw the cub happily licking the crumbs on the wrapping paper.

She was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see this.

Ai Bo even had the urge to give all the dry food to these poor little guys at once.

While the mosses were cheering and jumping for precious food, the two of them started to communicate with them.

The plundering tribe has been struggling to survive here for a long time. Due to the lack of text and inheritance, they can't tell more specific things.

Due to the scarcity of materials, their tribe's recipes are very wide, even to a somewhat scary degree.

Occasionally, the mushroom pigs that come here through the underground passage are the best prey, but such a good thing may not happen once in a few years.

Their main food is moss, mycelium, bats, and even rotten meat in the underground caves.

At the same time, they are also good at using a claw knife called "plunder knife", which is the kind that mushrooms used to buckle the reverse scales from the dragon.

That’s how the name of the plundering tribe came from.

Of course, they can’t beat all kinds of large monsters, but if they have the chance, they will try their best to take some meat from large monsters.

Generally, they will only do this when they are starving. That’s how the claw of Moss broke off.

And the reason why Mushroom was hunted by the Hazak Dragon was because it sneaked into the core area of ​​the Miasma Valley, the huge cave that was the Hazak Dragon’s lair.

It wanted to find some relatively fresh corpses from the piles of corpses while the Hazak Dragon was not in the dragon’s lair, and bring back some “unkillable” rotten meat, but it didn’t know that the Hazak Dragon had returned.

At that time, Mushroom saw an unrotten tail in the pile of corpses, and he was so excited that he dug it up. Unexpectedly, it was the tail of the Hazak Dragon, and then he was chased all the way.

Feng Ying was shocked when she heard it. This group of Deter was really starving. They dared to run to the lair of the ancient dragon species to grab food, and even dug into the ancient dragon.

Besides, the concentration of miasma in that place is very high, right? Have the plunderers evolved the ability to ignore miasma?

Of course not

After Aibo asked this question, he heard the explanation of Moss and the others, and realized that although the plunderers have lived in the Miasma Valley for a long time and adapted to the environment here, they cannot completely ignore the miasma, especially the miasma of the Hazak.

Their method is to run to the caves with dense acid springs, and use the acidic gas evaporated from the sulfuric acid springs to kill the miasma microorganisms on their bodies, and also disinfect the rotten meat.

This rough sterilization method made Feng Ying and the others stunned.

It turns out that the reason why their hair is scaly and dull is not only because of malnutrition, but also because of frequent contact with sulfuric acid vapor.

There is a reason why the plundering tribe is small.

Moss's words sounded like a self-deprecating joke, but Feng Ying and the others couldn't laugh.

No wonder there are no old people in the plundering tribe, because in this environment of lack of food and difficult survival, they can't live to old age.

Now there are only the last seven. If nothing unexpected happens, this inconspicuous Deter tribe will die out in the next few years, at most within a dozen years.

"Have you ever considered leaving the miasma valley?" Ai Bo asked tentatively.

The Coral Plateau, which is hundreds of meters above their heads, is extremely rich in natural resources and food is readily available.

It is almost the opposite of the plundering tribe.

The performing tribe that lived there had no pressure to survive. They studied the art of music and painting all day long. They not only invented a mysterious thing called a motivational instrument similar to a hunting horn, but also painted graffiti everywhere.

The mosses looked confused after hearing this.

They had long lost their inheritance and had no idea that there was another world outside the Miasma Valley.

Feng Ying sighed.

According to her original idea, the plundering tribe was to serve as sentinels to help monitor the movements of the Hazak dragons. Once the Hazak dragons left the core area of ​​the Miasma Valley, they would immediately warn the research base.

And the investigation team could provide food as a reward, so they would not refuse.

But now, she didn't want to say that.

Feng Ying picked up the cub that was still struggling with the food packaging paper and rubbed it gently.

If they continued to stay in this ghost place, the only cub would most likely die.

Having made up their mind, Feng Ying said to her partner: "Ask them if they want to leave this damn place and go to a new world with so much food that they can't finish eating it all."

ps.

When it comes to trading, why do they all want to steal the ingredients?
