...

The Wulong River in November is the quietest and most peaceful of the year.

But the so-called smooth sailing is good, Xu Chen and others did go out smoothly, with the northwest wind blowing, just walking to the southeast.

But this journey was difficult because it happened to be against the wind and there were few opportunities to rely on wind power. Most of the itineraries could only be rowed by manpower. You can only travel dozens of miles a day, and it is not much faster than your foot power.

Fortunately, this trip was almost all in the middle and lower reaches of the Wulong River. The river was smooth and there were no rapids and dangerous shoals. Therefore, I didn’t encounter much trouble along the way. It was just that the weather was colder one day, and it felt uncomfortable to freeze after falling into the river.

After nearly ten days of continuous retrograde, they returned to the exit of the lake near the Tsubashi tribe.

But they did not stay here, but continued to go upstream.

A while ago, because of the thousands of kilograms of beef stored, I rarely stopped to hunt specifically. However, as the beef was consumed, the rest of the road was slower, and I could only sail for half a day a day, and the rest of the time was spent hunting and replenishing food. So I stopped and walked along the way, and it took nearly half a month to reach the estuary near the Jia tribe.

Calculate the time, it is now the end of November, and in three days it will be the coldest December of the year.

When everyone arrived here, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. After dragging the bamboo raft to the shore, they decided to go to the clan clan to repair it for a day.

The Jia tribe members were overjoyed about the return of Xu Chen and others, and also let go of a large stone in their hearts.

After Xu Chen left the Jia clan and went to the Five Ghost Clan that day, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye. The latest news was that they helped kill the five ghost demons in the Five Ghost Clan a month ago, and arranged for people to send a large group of Five Ghost Clans to Gonghuo Brasin, and then there was no news.

Although the Jia tribe and the Ba tribe are far apart, people who have been to the Ba tribe admire the Ba tribe very much. Not only are there various advanced technologies, there are large courtyard grain fields and pond kiln factories, as well as the Great Witch and the Shimo Temple.

If the Jia tribe wants to develop, it cannot be separated from the guidance of the Ba tribe.

And only the Ba people have a large amount of pottery they urgently need.

Moreover, before leaving last time, Xu Chen gave them a way to make money. Recently, they are digging pits on nearby mountains on a large scale, waiting to make money from these tung tung trees in the future.

If Xu Chen died, these efforts would not be in vain. I am afraid that the family will lose the guidance of the great witch and the favor of the old mother god in the future and will return to the previous appearance of hunger and cold for thousands of years.

Fortunately, while his fearful expectations, Xu Chen and others came back unscathed.

Moreover, they brought more shocking news.

After eight days of walking eastward, I saw a huge lake, and the Tsucha tribe, a former neighbor of the Five Ghosts tribe, lives nearby.

There are many bamboos near the Tsuke Tribe. Making bamboo rafts is buoyant and powerful, much better than rafts. They deal with the Tsuke Tribe for two or three days before leaving the lake on a bamboo raft.

The Wulong River continues downward, with huge plains, countless times larger than the Gun Basin, and it is simply beyond the sight of the edge.

After crossing the impact plain, they continued to go down hundreds of miles. It was another river that was more than ten times larger than the Oolong River. There, they encountered the woolly beast mammoth with a long nose, and also encountered a strange tribe who was hunting wild beasts. However, because of their living habits and language, they could hardly communicate, so they left without direct contact.

On the Mabu map, the middle and lower reaches of the Wulong River have been almost marked intact, and then another big river from west to east appears in the bottom.

There were barbecue on the bonfire, and mixed grains, meat porridge and bone soup were boiled in the pottery pot. The gusting aroma was filled with chubby aroma. Men, women, young and old didn't have much attention to the food, but they gathered around Xu Chen, listening to him pointing to the spread map and telling loudly about the explored places and some interesting or dangerous pasts.

This is an era of extremely closed information, and the news from other tribes is almost zero.

The closed environment not only creates greater differences between different tribes, but also makes all tribes full of desire for foreign exchange, because only through exchanges and complementary and intermarriage can tribes reproduce and survive for a long time.

Although it is very dangerous to know and contact with strange tribes, this is an indispensable process for tribal development.

No tribe can survive in isolation and closure, because all such tribes end up with one ending, that is, extinction.

Just like the Five Ghosts, the consequence of their self-isolation is the accelerated degeneration of the race.

Therefore, even in the face of war, communication between tribes will still be the theme.

Through war, some powerful tribes will become stronger and stronger.

The Ba people broke the traditional war model between all tribes in the past, turning expulsion and plunder into conquest and gathering the population.

But whether it is the conquered Gonghuo clan, the Yugong clan or even the Five Ghost clan, they all gained great benefits in this conquest mode.

Although they have lost part of their population and wealth in a short period of time, the population they have been transported will bring back a large amount of advanced technology in the near future and lead the tribe to develop rapidly.

This time, Xu Chen took the initiative to explore from a long distance with a large number of hunters, and also opened a window that had never been seen before for all alliance tribes, allowing them to see the scenery thousands of miles away from the outside world and the lives of other humans.

Although he is exploring only very small and narrow areas on both sides of the Wulong River.

But in the near future, the Ba people's exploration will be even broader, and this huge world will eventually appear before everyone.

Every time Xu Chen's experience on this adventure would make the Jia tribe members exclaim and excited, especially when they heard Xu Chen discovering elephants and rhinos at the mouth of the Wulong River, it was even more exciting.

At that time, the Jia Clan used pottery to exchange it from the Five Ghosts to a huge beast's tooth. That tooth was as incredible as a divine object to the Jia Clan, and the Five Ghosts could not tell the origin of this giant beast's tooth, after all, it was a hundred years ago.

But unexpectedly, Xu Chen and others saw such a living giant beast hundreds of miles away.

A group of hunters who followed him out were also eating meat and drinking soup. They were browsing and dancing with pictures, and they described the giant beasts with pythons on their faces, which were larger than the bird's nest house built by the clan. They could roll up a huge bison and run, and two long teeth could stab the rhino to death.

What, it is impossible for a python to grow on your face, then you are so fucked, the rhino's horns are still growing on your nose.

How big is a rhino? Well, it's not big, it's just a little smaller than your house.

What, you don't believe in the beast with horns on your nose. Come on, let me tell you the story of us hunting five human-cannibal demons in the Five Ghosts. Their faces look like this...

Although he was tired and hungry, a group of hunters who had returned from their knowledge were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and they spit out as Bihua said.

The people of the Jia tribe were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

With so many novel stories, they can brag for the rest of their lives after listening to them.

You know, they obtained first-hand information. This time, Xu Chen and others' trip to the southeast, the Jia Clan was the most important node, starting from here and returning to this.

As long as you pass the Jia tribe to the southeast, it will be the territory of foreigners, and to the northwest, it will be the territory of the Ba tribe alliance.

Now in the minds of the Jia tribe, the Gonghuo Alliance has actually died in name only, and the Ba tribe is the only orthodox.

The Great Witch of the Gonghuo Clan accepted the inheritance of the Great Witch of the Ba clan. Her influence was far lower than that of the Great Witch of the Ba clan. In the eyes of all the Gonghuo Alliance tribes, the real Great Witch is in the Ba clan, and the highest leader in everyone's mind has become His Majesty the Witch King.

Because it was his sudden emergence and his blessings and guidance from the gods that he finally had a new pattern of thriving in all tribes, allowing all tribes to see a happy future with plenty of food and clothing.

His Majesty the Witch King is the highest spiritual leader in the eyes of all tribes. He deserves it and is irreplaceable.

And this long trip will push his reputation to an unparalleled highest point.

...

The Fire Clan.

There is light snow floating in the sky.

This is the first snow this year. Although it is not heavy, it makes the primitive humans wearing only thin animal skin feel unusually cold.

But even in such a cold weather that was unresisting in previous years, the construction of the tribe is still in full swing.

Wood or brick houses under construction can be seen everywhere in the valley and at the foot of the hillside near the river beach.

From the Thunder Clan in the west to the new territory planned by the Five Ghost Clan in the south, five tribes of all sizes have gathered within a range of only three or four miles.

The river beach is densely filled with mud bricks, and at the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of wood, and a few earth kilns of large and small sizes. The thick smoke is emitting day and night, and the pottery tiles and lime are constantly burning. A large number of pottery bricks or fired quicklime are piled up in rows of simple thatched wood sheds. In addition, many kiln workers carry large bundles of firewood back and forth while carrying large bundles of firewood.

Several planned building areas, including men, women, young and old, and sweating all over the place, carrying stones, mud, mud bricks. Many houses have begun to take shape, and brick walls have been built more than one person tall.

In addition, there are many stilted wooden houses that have been repaired, forming a large and lively scene.

On the river beach not far from these houses, a large area of ​​weeds from wasteland have been burned to pieces, revealing the black and empty ground. Someone inside is clearing stones and digging ditches, preparing for the spring sowing.

Directly opposite the banks of the Jicang River in the Gonghuo Clan Valley, there is a simple pier built of wood and stone, and more than a dozen large and small rafts docked near the pier.

On the other side of the river, hunters were running and chasing wild beasts with bows and arrows, and the shouts of conveying messages came one after another.

Not far upstream and downstream of the river, people paddled rafts to lay nets and fished in the river.

Although the weather is cold and the river water is cold, it cannot stop the busy atmosphere.
