Seeing that the monster was getting closer and closer to them, they dropped the nets in their hands and took up their weapons and gathered together, staring cautiously at the monster that was getting closer and closer to them.

Many people have a question in their minds: "Why is there someone on that monster?" ”

What they didn't know was that what they regarded as a monster was the second wooden boat made by Su Yan and the carpenters of the Dragon Tribe, and the people on the "monster" naturally referred to the people of the Dragon Tribe, and the leader was the deer clan of the Dragon Tribe.

Now in the third month of the spring of the eighteenth year, Su Yan was busy with the things of Mai and then busy with the things of making wooden boats, wooden rows, spinning wheels and looms.

In order of difficulty in making, they are looms, spinning wheels, wooden boats, and wooden rows, and in a month's time, Su Yan took the carpenter to try to manufacture wooden rows, wooden boats, and spinning wheels, but the loom has been difficult to start.

Although both spinning wheels and looms are related to weaving linen, looms are more than ten times more difficult to manufacture than spinning wheels.

Su Yan only saw the ancient spinning wheel and loom from the picture, the structure of the spinning wheel is simple, and it can be manufactured with a few more groping, but the structure of the loom is very complex, it is difficult to make it with just a picture of the appearance, and Su Yan has to explore it slowly.

Back to the rafts and boats.

The production method of wooden rafts is the simplest, directly tie up a number of pieces of wood with hemp rope, a wooden raft can be formed, a plurality of wooden rafts are connected side by side on the river surface, and a pontoon bridge across the river surface is born.

Making a wooden raft means that the dragon tribe has mastered the method of crossing the river quickly, but Su Yan still led the carpenter to make the wooden boat, and the uses of pontoon bridges and wooden boats also have many overlapping places, and not pontoons are suitable for all times.

The first experimental wooden boat was a bit small, more than a foot long and four feet wide, and could only accommodate four people.

Su Yan led people to put the wooden boat in the small river south of the Dragon tribe's residence for a sea trial, the trial result was quite successful, the wooden boat did not leak, but there was a little accident during the sea trial, a clansman almost capsized the wooden boat when he got on the boat, and almost let the tribesman fall into the water.

Falling into the water is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing, the swimming fish in the river are extremely fierce, not much different from the piranha, once falling into the river, if you can't leave the river as soon as possible, you may be bitten by the swimming fish in the river, if you stay for a long time, you can only recover a bunch of human bones.

So don't even think about swimming in the river, unless you wrap yourself in animal skins or sackcloth.

After making the first wooden boat, Su Yan took the carpenter to make a second wooden boat, a larger wooden boat, at least ten people to ride, when making the second wooden boat, Su Yan let several clansmen practice rowing with wooden oars.

In the late second month of spring, the second wooden boat was built, and the length was increased to two zhang and the width to six feet, enough to accommodate more than a dozen people.

This wooden boat is made quickly, but it is not resistant, there is nothing to do in a year or two, and after a long time, the wooden boat will be damaged due to insect moth and decay, after all, the wood used to make the wooden boat is only simply treated, and in order to make the wooden boat last longer, the wood must go through multiple processes.

The second wooden boat was put into the creek for a trial voyage, and there was no leakage, and it was slowly tested, and finally the wooden boat was loaded with more than a dozen clansmen slowly moving forward on the creek.

When making wooden rafts and wooden boats, Su Yan thought of one thing, the dragon tribe made wooden rafts and wooden boats in order to send troops to conquer the primitive tribes on the left bank of the river in the future, and now the dragon tribe can build a pontoon bridge on the river in a short time, and then quickly conquer the tribes on the left bank of the river.

For the time being, there is no pontoon bridge to cross the river to conquer the Eagle Tribe, but because the Dragon Tribe still has so many slaves, it takes time to merge, and the time to conquer the Eagle Tribe is put forward by Su Yan in the spring of next year.

Moreover, the pontoon bridge was not built in advance, worried that the Eagle Tribe would see the pontoon bridge and the entire tribe moved and fled here.

At the beginning, why was it so easy for the dragon tribe to merge the three tribes of the deer tribe, the rabbit tribe, and the mountain tribe into the dragon tribe, on the one hand, the dragon tribe was forced by force, and on the other hand, the three tribes of the deer tribe, the rabbit tribe, and the mountain tribe communicated more with the dragon tribe, and they knew the soft and hard power of the dragon tribe very well, and finally joined the dragon tribe with half a push.

Since the three tribes of Deer, Rabbit, and Mountain, the Dragon Tribe has not found a tribe suitable for direct annexation, and has no time to communicate slowly with those tribes that are far away from the Dragon Tribe and do not know each other, so they have always conquered those tribes through battles, and then relied on time to integrate the people of those tribes into the Dragon Tribe.

This time to deal with the Eagle Tribe, Su Yan is ready to salute first and then soldier, the two tribes are just separated by a river, and the fishing teams of the two tribes face each other across the river every day, to a certain extent, the people of the two tribes are more familiar, and they can almost feel the good and evil of the other tribe.

The Eagle Tribe is a good tribe, and the Dragon Tribe itself is not a good tribe or a vicious tribe but somewhere in between, but on the surface it looks like a good tribe.

This involves another way of distinguishing between good tribes and vicious tribes, because most of the female tribes in the vicious tribes are snatched from other tribes, so the male tribes of the vicious tribe are very bad for the female tribes of their own tribe, they have to beat and scold, they can't get enough food, and they are thinner than the female tribes of the good tribes.

The people of the Dragon Tribe rarely beat and scolded slaves, so in the eyes of the Eagle Tribe, the Dragon Tribe is a kind tribe, and the two sides are more familiar, laying the foundation for the next contact between the Dragon Tribe and the Eagle Tribe.

It was not possible to build a pontoon bridge in advance, and the dragon tribe wanted to communicate with the eagle tribe, so they could only do so by wooden boats.

After the tribesmen got used to the wooden boats and mastered the boating skills, the time had entered the third month of spring, and Su Yan decided to send an "envoy" to the Eagle Tribe, and the "salute first and then soldier" plan officially began.

As the fourth day of the third month approached the evening, when Yuan and a group of people drove the wooden boat to the left bank of the river, the Eagle Tribe fishing team that was fishing by the river was frightened by the wooden boat monsters that kept approaching them on the river, and they didn't understand what the situation was, today's harvest was still on the ground, and they couldn't escape, so they could only gather in a group with weapons and watch the wooden boats and the people on the river.

"Who are they, and how can they cross the river through this monster?" They had doubts but no one could answer them, but when they saw that there were far fewer people on the wooden boat than they were, the heart they had been carrying could finally relax.
