Chapter 1450: Good Skills
"But that's of no use. Get over there now, give me four more people, untie the ropes, bring them over to eat, understand?"
Bosa remained silent, walked silently to the side of his own Soldiers, chose a few of the nearest Soldiers, and squatted down to untie the grass ropes that were tied behind their backs.
Seeing their Leader come over so openly to untie their bonds, those savages were extremely agitated: "Bosa! Have you already scared them off? They know we are the Wulengge Tribe, so they don't dare to tie us up anymore, right? Are they going to let us go?"
The savage beside him was even more ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth: "Bosa! Since they killed so many of our tribesmen, then take them all back as Slaves, and take all those cattle back too!"
Having said that, he also provocatively glanced at the Soldier who was watching from the side; after all, this was untying the enemy, how could there not be someone watching?
That Soldier who had been glanced at didn't say a word, and used a bullwhip to lash Bosa on the back: "What is he saying? He still dares to glare at me?"
Seeing Bosa get hit, that savage was also bewildered and shocked; what was going on?
Being backstabbed by his own tribesman, Bosa was also very angry. Such a fool, speaking and looking around without knowing anything, so Bosa also unceremoniously relayed what the savage had said.
"You, drag him out for me." The Soldier ordered Bosa; he didn't want to go and drag this savage himself.
Bosa said something to the savage in their own language, and the savage stood out on his own. He still held his head high and proud, outputting gibberish in his own language at the Huaxia Soldier.
The Soldier lashed his mouth directly with a whip, followed by a flurry of strikes, whipping him until he was bleeding all over and trembling uncontrollably.
The other savages were panicked and asked in low voices: "Bosa, what's going on? Will they hit us too?"
Bosa sighed: "We can't go back. We are their Slaves now. From now on, don't look around or talk nonsense. They are telling me to untie you now, let you go eat, and once you've eaten, you'll go to Huaxia."
This news shocked the savages, but there was no time to ask more, as the Huaxia Soldiers had turned around, and they dared not speak again.
"Tell them, if they don't listen, this is the outcome. He won't have any food today either. You tie him back up, tie him tighter."
Bosa silently pulled the trembling, beaten savage back, explained it to him in their language, and then tied him up again.
After such a commotion, the process of eating afterward was much smoother. Everyone was obedient, and Huaxia really gave them food, and even added so much salt that they were all pleasantly surprised.
As for the things they were carrying, Huaxia used sticks to poke and inspect them. Some gem-like things were collected and taken back to Huaxia; they still had some value, more or less. There were metal items; these people also used Bronze ware, but not much.
The stone tools were quite special—smooth, hard, and polished with patterns. Even a simple Weapon was polished quite nicely, so Huaxia also selected and took back some of the better-looking ones. The salt mixed with dirt was also found, but they didn't want it anymore, so they just pretended not to see it and threw it together with the corpses.
After a few days, the corpses here would be fought over and eaten by wild beasts. They would also likely discover this salt-rich soil, and in the end, there probably wouldn't be much left for the Wulengge Tribe.
After eating and watching them all get tied up again, Huaxia prepared to set off and continue on the road back. They weren't as rushed today because the pursuers behind were still very far away.
These savages were also relatively obedient, and since they had eaten, they didn't drag their feet while walking; they walked when they were supposed to and had no complaints. They were given food again in the evening, which surprised them even more. How could life as a tied-up Slave in Huaxia be more comfortable than in their own tribe?
Time passed like this for several days, and no pursuers were found behind them. Huaxia was basically certain that they were safe, and the Western Development Group was just ahead. Everything was about to be declared over, just waiting to see if Huaxia City would send people over. If they still didn't see anyone after waiting another ten days, they would take these savages and head toward Huaxia City.
If they waited for the reinforcements, these people would also be a help and could lead the way.
After a few days, the Wulengge Tribe finally discovered something was wrong. By the time they followed the tracks to find them, the corpses of their tribesmen had already been torn to pieces by wild beasts. The scene was very terrifying and disgusting, and the stench could be smelled from far away. Even they, who were already smelly enough themselves, couldn't quite stand it.
After getting close and looking carefully, they confirmed that they were all their own tribesmen. There was no sign of the enemy at all. The people Bosa brought might all be here, and now they had all turned into gnawed bones and rotten meat. How could one determine who was who?
Such a result made the Tribal Chief very angry. He didn't believe that any tribe would dare to lay a hand on his Wulengge Tribe. This grudge had to be avenged. He would take so many of his tribesmen and must find them and kill them all.
As for the Golden Autumn Gathering, it didn't matter if he or other Wulengge Tribe groups went or not, because he had come to occupy this territory. Now that he had encountered such a bold and wealthy tribe, and they had killed so many of his people, this grudge had to be avenged. Moreover, if they killed them, the things they snatched would surely be enough for them to spend a comfortable Winter. Such a wealthy tribe must have a lot of stored grain, and even those cattle of theirs were tempting.
So he took his tribesmen and began to follow along the road. Every day, they could find traces of the enemy's activities, which meant they were going the right way. Based on the number and scale of the campfires, they could also judge that the number of enemies was not large; it was just unknown how they managed to defeat Bosa and the others.
His pursuit speed was not fast. He was not in a hurry, nor was he afraid, because in this season, it was impossible for a tribe to travel such a long distance while carrying so many things. They must be a tribe from this region. If he kept following them, he estimated that in a few more days, he would be able to reach their tribe. At that time, he would wipe out their tribe, not only snatching their wealth but also firmly occupying this territory.
It was just that he didn't know that Huaxia hoped he would follow them even more than he did, especially the Regimental Commander. During this time, he had been continuously prying out information from Bosa that Bosa thought was useless, such as the fact that their Wulengge Tribe knew how to raise cattle and graze. This was a good skill.
