#1065 - Chapter 1065 The First Territory Battle

This golden beetle, taller than a man, was pierced by dozens of spears, making it difficult to move. It could only struggle on the ground.

The boy drew his sword and walked up to it.

The golden beetle still wanted to resist with its claws, but it couldn't compare to the sharp bronze sword.

"Clang!"

The boy raised and lowered his sword, and one of the golden beetle's sharp claws was chopped off.

"Clang! Clang, clang!"

With a few more strikes, all of the golden beetle's legs were chopped off.

"Whoosh!"

With a final strike, the boy struck its head.

The golden beetle died on the spot.

The boy pulled out his sword, turned around, raised it high, and shouted:

"Nata!"

"Nata! Nata!"

The tribesmen echoed.

From then on, the Nata tribe had its own totem worship.

This totem worship was the hero holding the sharp sword: Nata.

And from this day on, the tribe's highest leader would inherit the title of Nata.

After the battle, the tribesmen cleared all the insect eggs from the small nest built with broad leaves.

Then, carrying the insect eggs and the large golden beetle, they happily returned to the tribe.

After cooking all these insects, there was barely enough for everyone to get a piece of meat.

They managed to get through this day.

However, this was just the beginning; countless such days and nights lay ahead.

The arduous life had only just begun.

Six months passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, the tribesmen discovered that soft-shelled shrimp had reappeared on the riverbank.

Now they understood one thing:

Soft-shelled shrimp were not available every day, but only appeared at certain times, and then disappeared at some point in the future.

In order to summarize the pattern of the appearance and disappearance of soft-shelled shrimp, they began to record day by day using the written symbols inherited from the ancestors of the Laventa tribe.

This went on for many years.

Finally, they discovered the pattern.

Soft-shelled shrimp would appear roughly every 180 days. After another 180 days or so, they would disappear again.

They continued to refine this pattern, combining it with the positions of the sun, moon, and stars to create the first Blue Star calendar.

They called it the Shrimp Calendar.

With this calendar, they could know when the soft-shelled shrimp would leave. At this time, they would make more jerky to cope with the season of food shortages.

It should be emphasized that the four seasons were not very distinct at this time. Therefore, they did not have the concept of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 100 years had passed.

During these 100 years, people constantly pieced together and merged the knowledge they inherited. Combined with the experience summarized by their ancestors over these 100 years, they gradually formed a complete writing system and religious system.

Most importantly, they even used several discovered ferns to construct their own agricultural system.

Among these ferns, some had roots rich in starch, while others had branches rich in vitamins and sugars.

Moreover, ferns are basically asexually reproduced. As long as a branch is cut off and carefully cultivated, new plants can grow.

And just like cutting chives, after cutting one crop, another crop can grow after a while.

This was much more efficient than planting crops now, and there was almost no shortage of food all year round.

Using the cultivation techniques they had summarized, they continuously reclaimed wasteland, cultivated edible plants, and felled useless plants.

In this way, they even built several large-scale tribes.

Agriculture is the foundation of social development.

It is also a prerequisite for building large-scale societies and forming class divisions.

During these 100 years, Mongka came to Blue Star many times and released several batches of newly cultivated humans.

The footprints of humans began to fill this planet.

At this time, the Lizard race had not yet risen, and insects still dominated the land.

The reason why these released humans could survive was that Mongka had set up safety zones for them.

Within the safety zones, there were almost no particularly ferocious insects or insect swarms.

But outside the safety zones, it was a different story.

Many insect races had the strength to completely annihilate them.

They were still just flowers in a greenhouse.

As time passed and more and more human tribes appeared on the land, wars began to break out between humans due to competition for interests and living space.

The time came to 1681 BC of the Blue Star Nata Era.

At this time, 382 years had passed since the first batch of humans was released.

March of this year.

In the eastern region of Pangu Continent, on a vast plain.

Two groups of people faced each other.

This was a battle for territory.

The victor would occupy this vast plain, and the loser would be driven out.

One side of the battle was the Nata tribe, and the other side was another tribe released later: the Sea Ghost tribe.
