The second morning.

Wang Tian finally persuaded Wu to agree to his expedition, and after the morning preparations were ready, the rafting exploration team had already set off.

This time is not as far away as last time, in Wang Tian's opinion, as long as they do not leave the river, there is basically no danger, and it is found that the situation is not right, with the bamboo shield and bow and arrow in the hands of the Tianlong tribe now, only all the personnel need to stand on the bamboo raft away from the river bank, and they can be attacked and defended.

So this time, Wang Tian only brought 10 strong warriors, including the guide giant salamander, and the bow and arrow master "madman".

Among the three leaders, this time the leader boss was left in the tribe, and the second brother of King Kong and the thin head set off with Wang Tian.

The reason why the leader boss was left to defend the tribe was mainly due to the fact that there was the Niu clan, and after seeing the wealth of the Tianlong tribe, through the mouths of the 9 soldiers of the Niu clan, they brought back to the grassland what they saw and heard, Wang Tian did not believe that the people with the Niu clan would not have any ideas.

As for what kind of reaction they will make and what measures they will take, it is not clear now, there is a way for soldiers to block, water to cover up, but necessary precautions are necessary.

The night before he departed, that is, after officiating at the wedding of Arrow and Alain last night, Wang Tian had a long talk with the chief.

As for what the two said, except for Wu, no one else knows, and the Chinese of the Tianlong tribe only sees the Son of Heaven speaking alone, while the leader and Wu only nod frequently.

Before Wang Tian walked on the bamboo raft and was ready to leave, he told the leader again, and then under the send-off of everyone from the Tianlong tribe, the rafting team, including Wang Tian, took two bamboo rafts and started to set off.

Two identical items were placed on each of the two rafts, and the hand drill was used to get firearms, dry food, medicines, etc., in order to prevent accidents, so that all spare items would not be lost or invalid at the same time.

In addition, of course, the two bamboo rafts are also equipped with oars, yes, they are mounted, and they are fixed on both sides of the bamboo raft like dragon boats.

Although it is a bamboo raft, it is also a boat, and now it is going down the river, so it is natural to rely on the inertia of the current, but when you return to the waves, you will never be able to wave again.

And these two bamboo rafts are no longer simply two pieces of bamboo poles pieced together into a square, in the "bow" position, the bamboo poles have been made into a pointed shape, which is conducive to reducing the resistance of travel.

The ship was also equipped with pennies for holding boats, as well as anchors for staying in the water, and there is no doubt that the anchors of this era could only be stones.

Its role is self-evident, it must be so that the two rafts can stop steadily even in the rapids where the water is fast.

……

At this time, within the Celestial Dragon Tribe.

After the Son of Heaven and the others left, the leader returned to the observation deck, and according to the instructions of the Son of Heaven before leaving, he sent a vigilant warrior to the tribe's first horse rejection quarantine area, which was requested by Wang Tian.

There is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and it is impossible for the Tianlong tribe to give up other work because of the possible danger, and all the people are waiting for the devil to come to the door wholeheartedly.

This was completely unrealistic, so, despite this or that concern, the work of collecting grass did not stop, and the thin head left with the Son of Heaven, and the person in charge of this work was now Huzi's turn.

The forage collection area is also limited to the first barrier to prevent horses from being quarantined, so as to be on guard against possible dangers.

But the sentinels sent are not the most cutting-edge observation posts, it is the 7 little beasts that act as the vanguard of the scouts, Wang Tian is not difficult to communicate with them now, although the 7 little ones can't speak, but the meaning of the Son of Heaven can still be understood.

Wang Tian asked Ling'er to send them to within 50 meters of the front of the first rejection horse after noon, and the reason for doing so was not to hope that they could play the function of defending the tribe, but to use their speed to extend the time and distance of the early warning a little.

After the personnel were transferred, the leader went to the fence and carefully checked the number and storage of the relevant weapons. Rolling logs for defense, arrows for ranged weapons, slings and stones for throwing, and a variety of spears.

After the work was completed, the leader felt that although the Son of Heaven had only taken away about 10 people this time, since the Son of Heaven left, the Tianlong tribe, which had been very lively in the past, felt that it had become deserted at this time.

In the past, when the Son of Heaven went far away, he had always been by his side, so he never found out about this problem, but at this moment, he and the people in the tribe who stayed behind were all of the same idea.

The hearts of the tribesmen only felt empty, as if they had lost something very important, and the leader now understood why Wu had lost such a big temper in the first place.

Because he has been worried since the Son of Heaven left his sight on a bamboo raft, after the Son of Heaven left the tribe, he always felt like something was missing in his hands, and his heart became less steady.

Even the leader and the boss felt like this, not to mention the rest of the tribe, everyone felt that when the Son of Heaven was there, it seemed as if they had a backbone, not as empty as the current mood.

Since the arrival of the Son of Heaven, Wu, who is always smiling on weekdays, is also standing on the observation deck at this moment, looking at the direction where the Son of Heaven left.

In addition to lying on the edge of the sheepfold all day long to count the sheep, Wu Zai is watching rabbits, picking rabbits, and recording the big and small things of the tribe on paper, and now it is gradually in charge of Zhou.

But after the Son of Heaven left, Wu's leisurely life seems to be over, and every day is spent in anxiety, it is conceivable that the Son of Heaven will return safely, and then there will be an accident like last time, Wu has not become crazy, and it is already quite good.

In addition to the leader and Wu, the most unhappy about the departure of the Son of Heaven is naturally Xiao Ling, he doesn't know why Brother Baizi is so eager to do things, according to Wu's words, he will start a long journey next year, and there is nothing, but he has to choose this year, choose to start in this weather that may snow at any time.

Because it was morning, the seven little beasts had not yet gone to the first line of refusal to be on duty, and the seven little ones who had only run crazy before seemed to have changed their temperament and seemed to be much quieter.

Squatting on the observation deck of the Tianlong tribe, one by one neatly arranged, squatting on the ground with hind limbs, supporting the body with forelimbs, all motionless looking in the direction where the Son of Heaven left in the lower reaches of the river......

The five little wolves, the two little tigers, and the witch who was also standing quietly and watching from the side, were like a picture scroll, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

……

Wang Tian naturally didn't know about these things in the tribe at this time, but he thought that with the leader in the tribe, with the tribe's tall walls and bows and arrows ahead of this era, even if a tribe as powerful as the Niu clan came to commit it, he could sit back and relax.

The river was flowing at the bottom of the boat, like a soft music, Wang Tian was in a good mood now, and even the squeaky sound of the oars rubbing against the bracket sounded so pleasant.

At this time, it is a departure, it is to go downstream, in fact, there is no need to paddle, only one person needs to take the bamboo artemisia to correct the direction of the boat at any time.

These people came out together, except for the second brother King Kong, the rest are already proficient in fishing, and they are already familiar with rivers and driving bamboo rafts, and they no longer have the nervousness and anxiety of standing on the bamboo raft for the first time.

The small bamboo raft in the middle reaches of the river, the green hills on both sides of the river walked backwards, the white clouds and dogs, and the late autumn breeze came to help the face, which made Wang Tian feel comfortable.

Although I have been to the grassland twice, plus the two times I went to explore the dogtail valley, and I have already traveled four times after crossing over, this time the mood is undoubtedly the most relaxed.

First, it's because the boat is safer, unlike the previous times when I was walking in the jungle, so I had to be 100% energetic.

And this time on the trip, the mood was so relaxed, looking at the cave behind the bamboo raft, where there were tribes he was familiar with, people he was familiar with, and the walls that were already his home and his foundation in this world.

He has worked hard in this world, and he is still working hard, for the sake of those people in the Tianlong tribe who make him feel warm, he chose to travel far away again, to explore the unknown place, to find something useful to the tribe.

If you don't stop living, you will never stop moving.

Wang Tian had a lot of emotion in his heart at this time, but the other people on the boat, especially the thin head and the second brother King Kong, seemed extremely excited, without the slightest sentimentality like the Son of Heaven.

Second brother, this is the first time to sit on a bamboo raft, and it is inevitable that he is a little nervous in his heart, but he is more excited, but his eyes have never left the Son of Heaven.

Last night, he didn't know how many times he was told by Wu to keep the Son of Heaven and ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, for this reason, Wu, who had almost never lost his temper with several leaders, even said that if the Son of Heaven had any accidents, he would not go back!

But the second brother doesn't blame Wu, the Son of Heaven is already the soul of the tribe, everyone is used to the life of the Son of Heaven, and they are all used to the changes that the Son of Heaven has brought to their tribe.

Protecting the Son of Heaven is the same as protecting the tribe, which was originally his duty.

And Slender Tou seemed to enjoy this "sailing" life very much, and this feeling of walking without moving made him feel a little excited, even if he had caught fish many times before and after, but still reveled in it.

After walking for two hours, the river merged into a larger river, and looking in the direction from which it came, the small river in front of the tribe's gate was like a sheep's intestine and like a heavenly dragon, lying on the earth.

The water surface of the two rivers was all glowing with a burst of sparkling, extending forward like broken jade......

The small river in front of the tribe is called the Dragon River, which is also named after the Tianlong tribe, and as for the confluence of the two rivers, he named it Longmen, which means that the Tianlong in front of the tribe has since joined the sea.

As for this wider river, Wang Tian named it Changshui, which means the water of longevity, endlessly.

He took a charcoal pen and a wooden board covered with paper, wrote down the place where he walked on the white paper, and marked it in the corresponding place according to the name he had just given.

As a scout, drawing maps by hand is a basic skill, but Wang Tian did not draw it as standard as a military map.

If everyone in the tribe can't understand it, what's the point of a standard map!

However, he has the ability to find his way back without using a map, and the ability to remember the terrain is not only something that a giant salamander can do, but also a basic quality of a scout.

After doing this, Wang Tiancai suddenly discovered, what about the water tribe? Didn't you say that the Water Tribe was downstream of the Celestial Dragon Tribe? Could it be that it is downstream of another long water?

After asking the second brother of King Kong, the answer he got was really like this, Wang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, the second brother's heart was really big.

When I was in the quarry, I only casually told me about the location, and I didn't even make it clear to myself that the two tribes were not on the same river at the same time.

Soon after the Dragon River joined the long water, because the river surface became open, relying only on the wind and the inertia of the current, the downstream walking had become very slow, so Wang Tian asked everyone to slide the oars together.

Wang Tian asked everyone to work harder, and then go ashore to rest when they reached the vicinity of the River Tribe, and he could also observe the terrain near the River Tribe up close.
