...

October 1st.

On the first day of winter, except for the slightly cold, everything is not much different from the end of September.

The sun in the early morning is not dazzling, and it looks like a big red persimmon in the morning mist.

The morning breeze was filled with a sense of coldness, wearing linen underwear and leather armor, and it was not very cold. Even a group of hunters who rowed every day were still barefoot, walking around the cold river water.

The hunters who chose to join the long journey were excited and excited, and kept carrying and strapping the prepared greetings onto the new raft.

These rafts are not only larger and stronger, but also have sails, a circle of low railings are installed around them, and a lot of ropes for rescue and fiber drawing are also prepared.

The people who participated in the trip this time included Xu Chen and Gu. In addition to Ju, there were also excellent hunters of forty people, including twenty Ba tribes, twenty prisoners of the captive army, Feng He and Mo followed, and Ju He stayed at home.

Now there are still 40 people left in the captive army. At this witch master conference, the Gonghuo tribe said that he wanted to redeem some people again, but was rejected by Xu Chen because autumn and winter are the time to build, and he needed to leave enough people to help. However, he promised to let half of it go back after the spring, and they did not need to pay the ransom. Although the Gonghuo tribe was a little regretful, he still agreed happily.

After all, it is not easy to get all the best sheepskins and wolf skins. The situation of hunting wild wolves like a cheat in hunting competitions is almost impossible to replicate in other tribes, and it is difficult to hunt a wolf on weekdays.

Mother Ba and Amu stood on the dock with all their tribesmen, watching Xu Chen directing the hunters to prepare for the busy preparations, their eyes were red, and many people even sobbing in a low voice.

After more than an hour of busy work, the morning fog has dissipated.

All the luggage was tied up, eight rafts with masts were all ready, and the hunters accompanying them were ready to go.

Xu Chen turned around and gave a few instructions to Muba and a group of tribe members again, just to ask everyone to complete the task according to his plan, and at the same time, to create large-scale wooden plows and field rakes, prepare for larger-scale land reclamation and planting, etc.

After the explanation, he reached out to touch Ye's slightly messy hair, who was standing in front of the crowd with tears on his face, and then explained to Ju a few more times before he walked to the little witch and said, "I'm leaving, I'll ask you all about the tribe!"

"Your Majesty the Witch King, the Witch will follow your will and take good care of everyone!"

The little witch slowly squatted in front of Xu Chen, nodding hard with red eyes.

It can be seen that she wanted to cry, but she held it strongly.

"Don't worry, we will all come back safely, so the Mother God will bless us!"

"Yes, so the Mother God will definitely bless His Majesty the Witch King and everyone!"

The little witch nodded seriously, her voice with a hint of crying.

"We're leaving, take care of everyone!"

Xu Chen's cloak strode towards his flagship... the largest raft among them.

Gu Heju and six other ship workers have all been in place.

Xu Chen climbed onto the raft and stood firmly, looked up at the red sun, and roared and set off.

“Woo~~~~~”

The golden horn sounded, and the melodious and clear sound resounded across the river.

"Wuga~~"

On and down the shore, all hunters raised their oars and wooden poles or weapons in their hands at the same time.

One after another, rafts slowly drove away from the docks and river berths, drifting downstream along the flowing Wulong River water.

"The water of Wulong is vast and rich, and it can nourish me. My hometown is far southeast, the road is blocked and long, and the fields are vast, where I go..."

The little witch sang and danced on the pier, her singing became clearer and more ethereal. The wind of early winter moved her dress, her hair was flying with the wind, and the golden scepter she held high, tears flowed unconsciously along her cheeks.

This is a new blessing song that Xu Chen used invented words for her. It is easy to understand and has a long artistic conception. It is said to be suitable for singing during farewell and can bring blessings from gods to those traveling farewell.

A girl in a white dress ran on the river bank as she chased the raft, constantly waving and crying.

"Chenga, I'll wait for you and return earlier..."

"Stop chasing, go back, I will come back as soon as possible. On the Spring Mother's Day, I will put feathers on you..."

Xu Chen waved and shouted, and his voice was soon blown away by the howling river wind.

Amid the ethereal songs, eight rafts lined up in a straight line, drifting down the river faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, they were already hundreds of meters away.

The Wulong River is both clear and cold, and the vast river beaches and continuous green mountains on both sides are whistling by in the eyes of everyone.

The raft gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared between the golden light in the sky and the earth facing the morning glow and the sun.

This trip is high and far, this trip is high and the river is long.

It is unknown whether it is a big river or a thundering and dangerous shoal in front of you, because humans have never dabbled in this turbulent river. In more places, wild animals are rampant and forests are vast.

On the high mast, two flags fluttered, and the blue dragon shadows were stirring in the howling river wind, and they seemed to be about to break through the air and soar between mountains and rivers.

There was no need to row the oars and paddles, and the raft roared down the river.

Xu Chen stood in the middle of the raft, pressing the dragon-toothed scimitar with his hand, and the cloak behind him was swept around, as if the warriors leading a huge fleet to the sea of ​​stars, full of energy.

Less than an hour ago, you can see the vast and huge river beach at the Wu tribe's mountain pass ahead.

At this time, the sun shines, and flocks of wild beasts on the river beach are drinking and playing by the river, and the overwhelming flock of birds are rising and falling on the golden river surface.

Some hunters of the U tribe were hunting on the river beach, and a group of people were practicing horse riding on the flat Asakusa River.

"Wild hoho hoho ho..."

Hunters on the raft called loudly at the river beach.

Hunters who were hunting and riding horses on the river beach soon discovered the raft array that was going downstream. They were also excited in an instant, cheering and rushing towards the river bank, and roaring at the raft, crying and howling.

"Minghao, the shallow water area is docked!"

Xu Chen issued an order.

“Woo~~~”

The sound of trumpets sounded, and all the people on the raft quickly rowed and paddled to change the direction of the raft, slowly leaving the area of ​​the river center of the torrential river, and slowly leaning towards the place where the Wu tribe hunters gathered.

It was the dragon who was leading the hunters to hunt and ride horses on the river beach. Seeing Xu Chen's long journey, they jumped out of the river to help bring the raft to the shore, and then surrounded Xu Chen excitedly, saying that they also wanted to follow him to roam outside.

Xu Chen shook his head and refused this request. It was not that he didn't want to bring more people, but that he did not plan to run too far this time. He mainly inquire about the distribution of human tribes and resources on both sides of the river within a few hundred miles downstream.

There are naturally dangers, but in general, they will not target war and conquest. When encountering a tribe that is too powerful and has huge malicious intentions, they will naturally leave quickly.

Therefore, while pacifying the Uk hunters such as Long, he asked them to build some rafts as soon as possible to practice in a safe area near the estuary. By next year, they will join forces with other tribes to go down the river to conquer more tribes.

The raft has a simple structure and it is not difficult to drive. All tribes have already understood it very clearly during the last river crossing hunting competition. Xu Chen was not worried that they would not do it, but after all, water and fire are ruthless. Humans can compete with the most ferocious beasts on land, but in the water, they are not as good as a loach.

What's more, in this big river that has been flowing for billions of years, people know that there will be some terrifying species hidden.

Just now, in this section of the river from the Ba tribe to the Wu tribe, I saw countless huge black shadows floating and floating in the water.

In summer and autumn, big fish several meters long often appear in the river, swimming on the water like huge crocodiles.

There are large beaver more than two meters long in the Ji Cang River near the Gonghuo Clan. According to the current climate characteristics, it is not surprising that there are large crocodiles or larger aquamarines in the Wulong River, and even more terrifying ancient creatures may be hidden.

Therefore, Xu Chen himself was also worried about this trip.

But for him, waterways are indeed the most convenient and fastest way of transportation at present. He must open this waterway to obtain more information on survival and development.

The Ukrainian tribe must be the main force in the future, but they still need more preparation and training. After all, rowing is completely different from riding horses. Without long training, if you encounter danger, you will be killed in groups.

After staying near the mouth of the Wu tribe river for half an hour, after a brief exchange with the Wu tribe hunters such as the dragon, the raft team set off again and went down the river.

Watching the raft ride the wind and waves and go away in an instant, a group of hunters felt that riding horses was no longer meaningful, so many people shouted to quickly log wood and build rafts to start training.

Long also felt that building a raft was more urgent than riding a horse, so he turned over and took a few hunters straight to the valley.

Under the leadership of Xu Chen, the Ba tribe always develops one step ahead. Other tribes are chasing each other desperately, and the Gonghuo tribe on the periphery is even thrown out to eat dust.

Although Xu Chen attaches great importance to the Wu tribe and also values ​​the hunters trained by dragons, he is a foreign tribe after all. If he cannot keep up with the Ba tribe, he will inevitably be slowly abandoned by Xu Chen in the future.

Moreover, winter is the time when rivers are at a low level and river beasts are dormant, and it is also the safest period.

When spring begins, a large number of terrifying fish and river beasts will rise up the river downstream. When summer floods are flooding, you can hear the terrifying roar of river beasts day and night in the river, and you can even see giant beasts floating and sinking in it for miles, which makes people frightened and cold.

No one knows what the giant beasts in the flood are, but since ancient times, countless terrifying legends have been left behind. Deep in the rivers, especially in the abyss and ponds, there are ancient ferocious beasts that can devour everything. When they walk, the flood is overwhelming, the wind is calm, when they roar, the wind is rising, and when they move, the wind is storm and storm.

They dominate the water of the world.
