Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 636: Downstream

This year's rainy season is not long and ends in less than twenty days.

After sunny weather, temperatures are also rising rapidly, approaching the hottest phase of the year.

At this time, two rounds of the moon at night are getting bigger and bigger, and there's no need for a torch at all at night, and you can see what's nearby.

Shao Xuan boarded the ship with people after he had successfully survived the second robbery with a thousand pieces of gold and was ready to embark on this expedition.

After the rainy season, the river rose some more because it washed away a lot of dirt, so the river brought a little bit of dirt.

Looking at the river running downstream, Shao Xuan bid farewell to the tribesmen and took 200 selected people to sail.

Two ships, each with a hundred people, were in front of Shao Xuan.

In fact, the two ships sent by the Longboat tribe were large enough to hold 200 people, not to mention 200, 500 people. But the boat was loaded with cargo and used some space, and, if two boats were involved, one would be able to complete the journey behind it with another.

Two boats with flaming horn totems left the flaming horn headquarters, hoisted their sails and marched down the flaming river.

This excursion will certainly not bring other vicious beasts, whispering is an exception, who makes it fly, and if Shao Xuan is not in the Flaming Cape tribe, he cannot stay on his own, so this excursion, whispering also follows, can just help Shao Xuan observe the distant movement, after all, the view on the ship is limited.

Half a day later, Shao Xuan stashed away the monolithic telescope he had made and commanded the crew to dock and insert the tablet.

After the name of the Flame River, the inscription card bearing the name "Flame River” was not too far. After all, the person in charge of the inscription at that time was not a distant team, and they could walk a limited distance, which was then spread by people from various tribes around the Flame River attracted by the trading area.

Now, their team will go further and naturally get involved. So, from here on out, Shao Xuan will push people to the shore every step of the way.

Inscriptions are also guarded nearby when people are busy on shore to prevent attacks. This is no longer a familiar area for them to be wary of.

Shao Xuan asked him to take him to the sky and flew around. After landing, he pulled out a scroll of animal skin to open it. He took out a fine animal brush and smeared some paint, and began to draw in circles on it. He was supplementing the map, and since the tribes lived long enough around the Flame River, they would certainly need to know more about both sides of the river.

The mountains and woods where the beasts are scattered are very simple, they all have similar terrain, and no one will live there. If there were, the ancestors of Flaming Horn, who were previously isolated by the river, would have known about it long ago, and have not seen the outsiders for nearly a thousand years.

Shao Xuan wants to observe, mainly on the other side.

As a result of last year's disaster in the heavens and the earth, the changes on both sides of the shore were different, falling downwards and rising upwards, leading to lower ground on one side and higher ground on the other. Shao Xuan could only see the lower ground on the boat.

The good side of the low ground is also the side they need important observation on, away from the beasts, where the majority of the tribes live, and where the boat travels downstream.

After the inscription, everyone took a break and continued.

Sometimes they encounter beasts running to the river to drink water, but they can't swim and can only watch Shao Xuan scream unwillingly.

“Will there be more swimming beasts crossing this river and going to the other side?” Dory asked.

“Not to mention,” Dor did not think so, "the beasts in the mountain forest know where they fit, at best run over by accident, eventually returning to the original mountain forest.” I have a lot of hunting experience, and I can guess a little bit about the habits of many beasts.

“No wonder there aren't many beasts crossing the river now.” Dori nodded.

“There are other reasons.” Shao Xuan put away the skin of the beast in his hand and said, "In the memory of many ferocious beasts, this side should be dangerous, plus last year's disaster in heaven and earth, this side of the movement must have been huge, the beasts that originally lived near the river bank may have left far away, just as the night swallows that lived near our tribe disappeared now, maybe they ran elsewhere when they took refuge, and then chose a new place to live. So, in the short term, there shouldn't be too many beasts crossing the river. ”

Suddenly, Shao Xuan continued, “Besides, there are tribes living on the other side of the river. Even if these tribes are not close to each other, they will at least have an impact on the beasts that come, after all, there are sparks in the tribe. ”

As soon as Shao Xuan mentioned the spark, Dori and Dora understood that they had come. Because the original spark no longer existed, they had often forgotten to think about the spark, but many tribes that lived here, the original spark, still existed. Even smaller tribes, sparks can have a certain deterrent effect on beasts in the mountain forests.

In the next few days, we saw the same situation on both sides of the Flame River, nothing new.

Shao Xuan continued to supplement the map. He could sense whether tribes existed nearby and could not perceive human breath far from the river bank. However, he could perceive the smell of the spark. Although it was not obvious, even some tribes had deliberately covered it up. Even if many tribal witches came personally, they would not necessarily capture the smell of the spark of those tribes, but Shao Xuan could still perceive it.

For reasons of time, it was impossible for him to visit the tribes one by one, but as long as the smell of the fire was perceived, some basic information could be understood, which was also Shao Xuan's only recently perceived ability.

A few years ago, he wanted to know what a tribal spark was like, he had to be close to that tribe to find out, just like when he first crossed the river, when he felt a tribal spark, and now he didn't need to be too close, he could feel it. It's just that sometimes, because a tribe is too far away, he can only feel the ambiguity.

Ten days later, Shao Xuan had marked seven dots on the map, with four dots painted next to the totem and the other three not. Those dots represent a tribe that lives there, and if you look closely, you'll find that the tribal locations that mark the totem are closer to the riverbank, and those that fail to draw the totem are further from the riverbank.

Shao Xuan is also unlikely to mark the locations of those tribes with great precision. He can only get an approximate orientation. The maps drawn can only be used as a rough reference, at least to give the Flaming Horn people a sense of how many tribes live around the Flaming River.

If there are more people in the Yanhe trading area in the future, more information will be obtained, and the map will be supplemented, step by step.

“Moving on, what kind of clan is it?” Dory asked.

“Well, that's what the message came up with.” Shao Xuan looked at the information given to him about the Xiao tribe, which is the furthest from the corner of flame, so Shao Xuan remembered clearly.

The Tsubaki tribe, the same tribe that Tsubaki called running to the Yanhe trading area to sell fishing nets, is said to live beside the Yanhe River, and is luckier than the Tsubaki tribe that was exterminated in natural disasters, and they have not suffered much damage, that is, they should be a little further from the river bank.

If Shao Xuan can't concentrate his energy, he won't necessarily feel the tribes far from the river bank.

Although the tribes are good at making nets and are sure to fish frequently, the rivers on this side were not as good at fishing until the heavens and the earth became catastrophic, and they may fish in other rivers just off the banks of the river.

Shao Xuan asked the sky to watch out for other rivers in nearby land, and if you notice any sign of someone, alert them.

Another day later, Shao Xuan did not notice the presence of different tribal flames.

Being entrusted with heavy responsibility, similarly no sign of human activity has been seen, even there are no other rivers in the vicinity besides the Flame River! There's no lake, only a few fine mountain springs at best.

Perhaps because of the lack of rivers, far away from the flame river, the grass is not very dense, a volatile mountain, looking very monotonous, one river side, two very different landscapes, this side of the land of the beast, lush forests, from high to far, lush, far away all over the ancient trees, compared to the other side, is the difference between long hair and hair size.

Without other rivers, looking at the woodland over there, we know that it may not be suitable for planting, that the grass is not lush, and that there may not be many beasts to live in, so that there is less chance that tribes will live in this area.

“What kind of clan is that really around here? Did they lie?” Dory said.

Not only Dorri, but others believe that not every tribe is going to tell the truth when they go to the Flame River Trading Zone, and some are just saying a rough direction, and even if you do, you don't necessarily find them, like the tribe, who knows exactly where they live, but few people can find their nest.

Some tribes, however, do not have a single word to tell, even pointing in the wrong direction.

“Perhaps we have passed through the tribes.” The Door said.

On the map of Shao Xuan painting, the areas marked with tribal life, three of which are not perceived as totems, there may be tribes of Xuan.

“It's also possible.” Shao Xuan nodded in agreement with Doh's speculation, but thought about it, he took out the fishing nets of the Yanhe tribe to the Yanhe trading area.

The Yan tribesmen exchanged things in the Yanhe trading area with fishing nets, and the nets were confiscated. Shao Xuan brought out the nets of the two Yan tribes on this trip. If he could not hunt beasts, he would try fishing with fishing nets.

The fishing nets of the tribe are different from those of the tribe of Rho, the fishing nets of the tribe of Rho are thinner, while the fishing nets of the tribe of Rho are thick and thin, the weaving style is very different from that of the tribe of Rho, and there are more samples of the same net.

Looking at the nets, Shao Xuan turned his head and said to Dori, who was fishing with a fishing rod: “Bring Quinto here. I have something to ask him. ”

Dory answered, put away the rod and run to the cabin to find Quinto.

This time, Shao Xuan chose nearly a hundred of the guards from the Yanhe trading area, representing half the number of people on this expedition. Frequently guarded in the Flame River trading area, many tribes were seen and impressed upon those who were not familiar. Kuntu is the guard at the entrance to the Yanhe trading area and one of the people who has had direct contact with the Yanhe tribe.
