"What a wide river!" Tatsumi was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had seen such a wide river, it was incredible.

Bidding farewell to the Moon Tribe in the morning, Yuan continued to advance south with the exploration team, today is the third day of the exploration team's march to the south, and tomorrow they will turn back.

Before the halfway point of the afternoon, the exploration team was blocked by a big river, not only Chen, but everyone in the exploration team was surprised by the width of the big river in front of them.

Seeing this big river, Yuan suddenly understood the purpose of the king asking them to explore the south, and the king had already guessed that there was a big river in the south, so he asked him to take the exploration team to the south to find the big river.

Yuan's deer tribe joined the dragon tribe relatively early, and Yuan knew that the population of the dragon tribe had skyrocketed, and the small river in front of the dragon tribe could not provide more food for the dragon tribe.

If you could have looked south to find this big river with a width of hundreds of zhang in front of you, maybe the dragon tribe would have moved to the vicinity of this big river, but now the river next to the dragon tribe can only be regarded as a small river in front of this big river, and the river in front of the dragon tribe can only be regarded as a small stream at the earliest.

Yuan's eyesight is very good, looking at the south bank of the river from afar, he vaguely feels that there are people on the south bank of the river, but the distance is too far, hundreds of zhang away, it is difficult to see what they are doing.

I guess the people were probably fishing.

Discovering this big river, one of the tasks of the exploration team was completed, Yuan took out the animal skin map, and used the charcoal he carried with him to outline this big river on the animal skin map.

The great river runs from east to west or from west to east, with no end, as if it reaches the horizon.

Yuan is suspicious of one thing, maybe the current Yue tribe doesn't know that there is such a wide river in the distance of most of them in the south.

The range of activities of the primitive tribes is almost all within half a day's journey, the hunting team will walk for half a day at most, and they will have to turn back after half a day.

If the Yue tribe knew that there was such a big river here, with the dense swimming fish in the river, they could get more food by moving to the riverside area.

However, it is important not to be too close to the river, and it is also necessary to choose a higher area to build a settlement, as the river may be swallowed up if the river rises during the rainy season.

It is also possible that the Chuyue tribe lived not far from the riverbank, but was scared away by the swelling of the river, and moved the tribe away from the river, and their ancestors forbade their descendants to move back to the river.

Thinking of the interesting Moon Leader again, Yuan decided to let the exploration team stay by the river for a while, camp by the river tonight, and set off again tomorrow at dawn, when the time comes, the exploration team can be a guest of the Moon Tribe again.

The Moon Tribe can also be regarded as a goal of the Dragon Tribe in the future, if possible, it is still necessary to talk about the Moon Tribe to invite to join the Dragon Tribe.

……

Three days later, in the afternoon, Yuan came back with the exploration team, and everyone in the exploration team was a little tired, although they had been walking, and even went to the Moon Tribe as a guest halfway, but they had been walking for six days in a row, and they had been cautious on the road, and they would feel tired.

"Disband, go home and rest." Yuan said to the members of the exploration team.

Hearing Yuan's voice, the exploration team disbanded, and all the team members left separately, only Yuan and Chen remained.

"Chenye, you can also go back and rest, I will go and tell the king the harvest of this trip." Yuan said to Chen.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Yuan nodded.

Yuan easily found Su Yan in his place of residence, and when he found Su Yan, Su Yan was sitting at the wooden table in front of his house, holding charcoal and writing and drawing on animal skins.

"Yuan, you're back, did the trip go well?" Sensing the arrival of fate, Su Yan asked out loud.

"It went very well, there were no casualties, and what the king asked us to find was found."

"Found the Great River?" Su Yan stood up directly in surprise.

"Found it, a very wide river, at least two hundred feet wide."

"A great river two hundred feet wide." Su Yan repeated, Su Yan's mind imagined a large river hundreds of zhang wide, on both sides of the riverbank, inhabited by countless tribes, especially in the warmer south, there are many powerful tribes.

Su Yan pulled Yuan to sit down, asked Yuan to talk about what the exploration team had seen and heard on this trip, and only let Yuan go home and rest after half an hour.

Through Yuan's story, Su Yan knew that the exploration team had discovered a tribe with the moon as a totem on this trip, and that the moon tribe was half a day's journey to the south, which was the wide river discovered by the exploration team, which was nearly three days away from the dragon tribe.

If a path is carved out with fire, the time it takes to get from the dragon tribe to the river will be reduced to two days or less.

Discovering the big river is definitely a pleasant time, this big river is enough to confirm part of the speculation in Su Yan's mind, as for the speculation that there are more powerful tribes in the south, it is impossible to confirm it in a short time, and it is necessary to cross the big river to the south bank of the big river to see, for the time being, Su Yan does not have this idea.

Although he discovered the existence of the big river, and there were more fish on the other side of the big river, Su Yan had no idea of moving the dragon tribe to the big river.

The big river is only the future development direction of the dragon tribe, the first city of the dragon tribe is under construction, the construction progress of the city wall has been halfway, the second city of the dragon tribe in the future, the third city can be developed to the south of the big river, with the bearing of the big river, it is possible to build a larger city that can accommodate more people.

Now the total population of the Dragon Tribe is only 3,500, and the first city has not been built, far away from the second city and the third city, but Su Yan is still ready to make a development plan for the Dragon Tribe, and eventually the Dragon Tribe will develop to the south, and even cross the big river to develop to a warmer climate in the south.

All along, Su Yan has been adhering to one idea in developing the dragon tribe - to live.

"Living" is a simple and complex thing, and the most simple and clear result is that Su Yan himself died of old age, but it was undoubtedly a very difficult thing to let himself die of old age in the primitive era.

Death from disease, starvation, freezing, poisoning, being bitten by wild beasts, being killed by enemies, there were many ways to die, and for a minor of the snake tribe at that time, these ways of death were possible.

In order to "survive" the goal, the snake tribe has risen, from the snake tribe to the dragon tribe, from more than a hundred people to three hundred, to a thousand, and now to three thousand five hundred people, the dragon tribe continues to grow.

It is impossible to starve, freeze, or be bitten to death by wild beasts, and the chances of dying of disease, poisoning, and being killed by enemies are decreasing.

With the development of the dragon tribe, perhaps one day Su Yan will be able to fulfill that simple and complex wish.
