Chapter 117: The Great River Found (Part II)
"Roar!" "Wow! "Ahh ”
The people of the other tribe who confronted the exploration team kept intimidating the exploration team, and the weapons in their hands were constantly waving, as if trying to scare the exploration team away.
This sight left Chi speechless, Chi had seen through their weak nature, but they wanted to pretend that they were strong.
Although there are nearly a hundred people on the opposite side, there are not many adult males as the main force, if Zhi wants, the exploration team can defeat them at the cost of ten deaths at most, of course, if Zhi really wants to attack, he rushes up when the other party has not yet gathered, how can he wait to deal with the gathering.
"Don't worry, we have no ill intentions, let's go." Zhi gestured at one of the other party's leaders, and then shouted at his own people, "Everyone bypass this tribe." ”
After Zhi's order was issued, the exploration team began to transfer positions in an orderly manner, and the first row of people in the exploration team and the other party's confrontation maintained a vigilant appearance and retreated, the other party did not move forward, just stared at the exploration team that was being transferred, it should be that they themselves also knew that the strength was not as strong as the exploration team, and they did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and it was the best result to be able to let the exploration team retreat, how could they take the initiative to attack.
Encountering other primitive tribes was just a small episode in the exploration team's search for the Great River, but after bypassing the tribe's settlement, Zhi took out a one-foot-square animal skin, which was a simple map, based on a winding river.
After that, Zhi took out a wooden stick that had been almost burned to black charcoal, and marked the location of the tribe he had just discovered on the hide.
It's a pity that the tribe that has just been discovered is too wary of the exploration team, or they are too timid to communicate much, and if they can communicate some, maybe Zhi can ask them for some information related to the river.
The exploration team continued to move forward, and the width of the adjacent creek was more than four meters, but this was not enough, and the exploration team wanted to find the real big river, a large river with a width of more than ten meters.
As the sun set, the expedition team had to stop and prepare for a makeshift camp, and when night came, the noisy jungle quieted down, and Zhi leaned against a large tree and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, Zhi's ears moved, as if he heard something, Zhi's eyes opened, his body moved slightly, and the sound disappeared again.
Zhi thought that he was leaning against the tree again and preparing to rest, but it didn't take long for the voice to appear again, but the sound was always there, but because Zhi's body was moving and making some noises, plus Zhi's heart was not calm, so he didn't hear the sound.
Chi didn't move, quietly listening to the faint sound coming from in the distance.
"Whoa! Crash! ”
It seems to be the sound of running water, could it be from the side of the creek?
Zhi pinched out this thought, he was very familiar with the sound of running water on the other side of the river, the movement was not so loud, the sound seemed to come from a long distance, and the sound of the flowing water of the river was almost impossible to hear.
"It's a big river!" Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, and Zhi felt that the sound was coming from the other side of the river, and the exploration team was not far from the river!
Really want to find the river quickly, Zhi was a little excited and couldn't sleep, but Zhi still forced himself to sleep, the jungle at night has too many dangers, it is easy to cause deaths and injuries to the exploration team.
It was dawn, and after breakfast, Zhi happily said to everyone: "Let me tell you a good news, I heard the sound of flowing water last night, and the sound of flowing water should come from the big river, and we are not far from the big river." ”
"I also heard the sound of running water last night." "Me too." "I heard it too. "It turned out to be the sound of running water from the big river. ”
As soon as Zhi's voice fell, several voices came out of the team, and there were many people with sensitive ears, who also heard the faint sound of running water in the quiet night, and they thought that they were hallucinating, and only after hearing Zhi's words did they know that they were not hallucinating, and several people also heard the sound of running water.
More than one person heard the sound of running water, and after a brief packing, the exploration team set off again, striding towards the east, and soon, in the noisy daytime, they heard the sound of running water again, and they moved towards the east, and the sound of running water reached their ears became louder and louder.
After advancing more than ten meters, the jungle had disappeared, and a large river at least fifty meters wide appeared in front of the exploration team, which was the source of the sound of flowing water.
Looking to the south, about forty meters away from the exploration team, the big river branched out into a tributary more than ten meters wide, this tributary is the small river that flows through the front of the dragon tribe's residence, but this tributary flows narrower and narrower the further it goes, and only becomes a small river in front of the dragon tribe's residence, and a few days to the west, the river becomes narrower and narrower, until it disappears completely.
Zhi opened his mouth wide and looked at the position further south, the river was flowing from south to north, and the waves in the river weakened and became smaller from south to north, Zhi seemed to feel that the width of the big river narrowed a little bit from south to north, could it be that there was a bigger river in the south, and the big river in front of him was just its branches?
Zhi can't be sure of this information, after all, the river is so wide, Zhi may also feel wrong, it's best to go south and explore, but the big river is blocking the way, and the exploration team can't advance to the south.
Having found that the great river was sufficient, Zhi took out the animal skin and the wooden stick that had been burned to black coal, and traced the great river and its tributaries that he saw in a few lines on the animal skin, as well as the larger river that might exist to the south of the Great River.
Walking by the river, look into the river, there are countless fish in the river, including many large fish weighing five catties or more than ten catties, such a fish, an adult male can not eat a meal.
About half an hour after the exploration team reached the river, another team appeared on the other side of the river, this team was composed of all adult women, about forty people.
Zhi's eyesight is very good, and he can clearly see that they are holding many stone tools such as stone bowls and basins, and each of them has a wooden stick in his hand.
The exploration team found the people on the other side, and the people on the other side also found the exploration team, but the people on the other side did not panic, and even some people pointed at the exploration team, not afraid of the exploration team at all, after all, there is such a big river, the exploration team can not pass at all, if they swim into the water, the "piranha" in the water will teach them to be human.
The people on the other side of the river were only slightly surprised by the presence of the exploration team, and then they began to get busy, and one of them came to the river with a stick, stared at the swimming fish in the river, and then stuck the stick down, and a few of them were lucky to catch the fish, and most of the rest found nothing.
After staying by the river for a while and getting a little more acquainted with the surrounding situation, Chi said to everyone, "Okay, let's go home." ”
"Go home!"
