Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

The Yi man at the head of the line had a blue-black wolf head tattoo, and he was holding an iron broadsword instead of the bone knife that the others had. He was wearing a tiger skin apron and looked extremely rough.

"You, leave the food, and we won't kill you."

"Otherwise."

"Die!"

The man stammered and spoke the Kyushu Mandarin. Although he stumbled, the fact that he could speak Mandarin proved that he had connections with the outside world.

Chen Nuo waved his hand gently.

"Roar!!!"

A fierce tiger roar sounded, and a large tiger gracefully jumped down from a tree nearby, staring at the Yi man.

A strong killing intent was released from the tiger.

A group of Yi people showed fear on their faces, but at the same time they became excited.

As a tribe in the mountains and forests, no one knew the power of this beast better than them, but after years of fighting against nature, they were also proud of hunting beasts to show their bravery...

At this time

Chen Nuo smiled, "Bang!"

With one punch, he broke the tree next to him, which had been alive for who knows how long, with deep roots and twisted branches.

"Wow wow wow!"

"@##@..."

This scared the Yi people so much that they screamed and squeaked, and their language was full of them.

"Enough!"

It was still the leading Yi youth who subdued everyone, and then took the lead to retreat.

From beginning to end, the Yi youth showed no signs of turning around. Even when retreating, he watched Chen Nuo and others slowly retreat.

Chen Nuo did not chase them, but when they were about to disappear, his figure flashed.

He came in front of the young man.

!!!

The Yi youth's pupils shrank.

The broadsword instinctively swung down.

Snap!

The iron broadsword shattered.

"You"

"Since you can understand Mandarin, give up the useless idea. I just want to ask you something."

Chen Nuo held the fragments in his hand and smiled at the Yi youth.

Gudong.

At this time, the Yi people around also reacted. Although they had clearly seen Chen Nuo's powerful performance, they still rushed over with a fierce look on their faces.

"Wow!" The Yi youth shouted everyone away.

"What do you want to ask?"

Chen Nuo looked at the Yi youth with appreciation. He knew when to advance and retreat, and his wisdom was different from other Yi people. It was a bit interesting.

"Are there any other tribes nearby?"

"Yes, there are many."

"How many people are there?"

"A lot, much more than us."

"..."

"... Then do you know where there is a relatively safer road? I don't mean the official road." Holding the last glimmer of hope, Chen Nuo asked.

Seeing the Yi youth thinking hard, Chen Nuo's heart moved, and he took a small bag of salt out of the carriage and sprinkled it in the palm of his hand.

"Salt? Salt!"

The Yi youth looked at it and was overjoyed, but he did not take the small bag of salt immediately.

Instead, he began to gather the people behind him. After a lot of squeaking, he came over with a skinny little guy.

"He knows. He will go with you and lead the way. You give me salt."

"Okay, deal."

"By the way, what's your name?"

Seemingly stumped by this question, the Yi youth scratched his head and said, "Shen, my name is Shen, I am the leader of the Boyi tribe. In the future, can you still have salt?"

Chen Nuo thought for a while, "My name is Chen Nuo. I will have other things in the future. Do you want to trade?"

Shen nodded and shook his head, "I only want salt."

"There is salt in it."

"Oh, that's fine."

Chen Nuo's mouth twitched.

"In the future, you can come to our Boyi tribe as a guest." Shen said, holding the small bag of salt tightly in his hand, as if holding his life.

...

Shen's matter was just a small episode. Chen Nuo left his name on a whim. He thought this person was interesting. As for whether he would contact him again in the future and whether he would do business here, who knows?

However, with Shen's people leading the way, they avoided many robbers and tribes along the way until they walked out of this large hilly area called Wulingyuan.

At this time, they were close to the southern part of Hexia County.

One step closer to the destination.

However, at this time, new difficulties emerged.

There were many mountains ahead.

Not just ordinary mountains, there were mountains everywhere, and there was only one flat official road.

There was no other way, so Chen Nuo and others had to sell horses and some things that could not be moved in the mountains in Zheng County, which was the last prosperous city near the southern region.

At the same time, they rested in the city for a while and asked about the situation in the world.

It must be said that Chen Nuo had a good vision.

According to the rumors in the market, the whole world was in chaos.

Now there were wars everywhere, especially the most brutal ones in Ouyue County and Juyan County.

The remaining regular army of the imperial court and the powerful army were fighting, and they would often force the people to attack the city, and the soldiers would enter the city to revel...

Hexia County was also in chaos, and even a county town was breached, but that was only in the north of Hexia County, which was a large grain-producing area, so naturally there was fierce competition. But if it was far to the south, there were no rebels, and for a while, it was barely stable. (Mainly because there was no oil and water, it was hard to chew)

As for Liushui County...

"Well, over there, I heard it's also chaotic, but the way it's chaotic is different. The Bai Ling Cult over there is particularly rampant. You don't know how many people the Bai Ling Cult has in Liushui County now, 150,000, a full 150,000!"

"I heard that the leader is the so-called Zuo Hufa who was defeated by General Xuanshe before. Alas, it's a pity that General Xuanshe still has..."

"Now, except for the county town and a few county towns, Liushui County seems to be occupied by the Bai Ling Cult."

"Hey, I also heard that the so-called Zuo Hufa is going to take people to the imperial city to support the so-called leader..."

"Life is getting more and more unstable. I don't know when it will be our turn..."

"..."

Chen Nuo drank his tea quietly, looked towards the northwest, and watched silently.

Finally, he could only sigh.

The next day.

The team started again after purchasing.

On the way, Chen Nuo actually met many families who were also fleeing!

They... were also running south!

Everyone was very vigilant, but they all tacitly stayed away from the Chen family, because the scale of the Chen family was the largest.

And they were scattered, mostly with dozens or hundreds of people.

Chen Nuo knew with a little thought that these were native families of Hexia County, families in the north or central region.

No one is a fool, animals know how to avoid disasters, let alone humans?

It's just a different choice.

However, in this way, the development potential of the south seems to be much greater.

Chen Nuo went to the south mainly to avoid disasters, but it doesn't mean that there is no idea of ​​development.

Now that so many people are fleeing to the south, it is actually a good thing for the southern part of Hexia County.

There is no time to think more.

Chen Nuo and his party set out on the journey again.

This time.

The journey became more difficult.

The road was intermittent, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow.

Sometimes you don't even know that this place full of weeds and thorns is actually a road!

Fortunately, warriors are warriors, and they barely made a road after pioneering.

Afterwards, follow the paid guide to move forward.

The further you go.

The environmental changes are gradually becoming more drastic.

The biggest trouble that Chen Nuo and others encountered along the way came out.

Miasma.

A thin fog covered the road and the woods ahead.

Here, the fog never dissipates all year round.

Miasma is dense and diseases are rampant.

The miasma here is said to be just a minor problem, far less dangerous, overbearing, and complex and changeable than that in the Yellow Springs Forest.

As a famous doctor, Chen Nuo had already inquired about it, so he naturally responded to it. Each person had a homemade mask with some medicine powder inside.

In addition, there are various measures that can be used for prevention.

After understanding the miasma here, Chen Nuo only took half a day to make the corresponding medicine.

"The miasma here is mainly malaria, and there are a few complications, which are not complicated."

"But pay special attention to the mosquitoes here. Most of the malaria here is caused by the highly rotten gathering of these dead mosquitoes."

"So I also made some pills to repel mosquitoes and asked everyone to take them. Remember not to take them. This thing is poisonous..."

Chen Nuo also reminded a lot of things.

In fact, now is not the season with the most miasma. With so many preparations, the survival rate can be basically guaranteed, but Chen Nuo just wants everyone to have a higher chance of survival.

These are the strengths of his Chen family. Even the slightest loss will be distressed.

Entering the path.

The thin mist is everywhere.

Especially when the sun sets, the mist is diffuse, the light is dim, and the environment seems to become gloomy.

Not only that.

From time to time, you can see dry bones on the ground. Judging from the shape, they are human.

Not long after, I even saw several corpses that were already decaying...

Intermittently, I saw a lot of corpses along the way. Most of them had ulcerated skin and hideous expressions. It was obvious that they died in pain.

Night.

Torch.

Bonfire.

Camp.

Chopping wood.

Chen's party rested temporarily.

At night, the howling of wolves came one after another, making people's backs cold.

Even, various animals appeared one after another.

One night passed.

Even with a large number of armed forces protecting them, there were still casualties.

There were children who were sneaked up by animals and taken away...

There were also children who were bitten to death by bears imitating adults...

There were also people who accidentally slipped when they got up at night and stepped on mossy stones and fell to death on the spot...

These were all unavoidable things, and human power was limited.

Fortunately, the prepared pills and various measures were in place, and no one had malaria.

Chen Nuo sighed, and Wang Qingxuan next to him was still working hard to make pills.

These things are consumables, the more the better.

Among all the doctors, Wang Qingxuan ranked second in medical level because she had Chen Nuo's special treatment.

The long time of grinding and pounding medicine made her look a little tired, and sweat could not stop flowing down.

Chen Nuo stopped her movements, "Okay, don't tire yourself out."

Wang Qingxuan stopped, "Brother Nuo, do you think these medicines are enough?"

"Enough, I've checked, we're walking past the edge of the dense forest, we'll be able to bypass it soon, and by then the miasma outside will be very low, so there won't be a need for so many."

Chen Nuo gave the answer.

"Great." Wang Qingxuan smiled.
