Chapter 285: Endless Daze
The forests along the Taijiang River are sparse and the land is flat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info twice a year, the large-scale beast hunting news also stepped out of a wide passage from east to west. Now the spring is a little bit and the sun is shining. After letting the baby elephant jog, the baby elephant became more and more excited, and rushed forward with its nose back, running very happily.
In order to facilitate the mount, Wang Chuan tied a small leather saddle like a motorcycle seat to the back of the baby elephant. The leather saddle is made of several layers of sturdy cowhide wrapped in soft animal hair, and it is not much different from the motorcycle seats of later generations. This trot, on one side is the reckless river, and on the other hand, the trees are swept by from time to time, so that Wang Chuan found a little bit of the feeling of riding a bicycle in the spring outing in later generations.
The little rhinoceros also followed with a roar with an iron shield. The strong ox also sat on the same seat, and along the way he still took a spear or axe in his hand from time to time, and slashed for a while. Because Wang Chuan said that if he rushed into battle like this, he could easily kill countless enemies, and he had already thought about it countless times in his heart, but the tribe had basically been peaceful in the past few years, and Wang Chuan could only think about these strategies in his mind.
The two beasts on the ground ran around, but the eaglet flew into the sky. For it, unless the baby elephant runs hard, the speed is still turtle crawling. It sometimes appears on the left and right above Wang Chuan's head, sometimes on the river, and sometimes into the distant forest. Sometimes he flies low and leads the way on the head of a baby elephant. Or chirp and tease the little rhino to stop on the iron shield that the little rhino is on. It's boring like a rabbit running with a tortoise.
This is a bitter thing for the ten people who followed Wang Chuan and the others. The River tribe has trained for long-distance running, and has also tried to run lightly from the tribe to Yangjiaji, and it is not a big problem to run 30 kilometers in the morning.
The baby elephants were jogging at first, but they were quite relaxed. Once they're running away, they'll have to go full speed to keep up. At full speed, it can't last, and after a few kilometers, you can't keep up. As a last resort, they had to stop a boat in the river and pull them to the front to block Wang Chuan and Zhuangniu.
Wang Chuan was stopped, feeling that it was really inconvenient for the tribe to have no horses now. How could such a thing happen if there were horses? Although raising elephants can also solve some of this problem, the amount of food of such creatures is too large, and the growth cycle is too long. So Wang Chuan felt that it was better to find the horse as soon as possible.
Wang Chuan and the baby elephant were running so fast that they didn't want to stop, so he said to everyone: "There is nothing dangerous in this part of the road, just follow in the boat." I'm with Centurion, you don't have to worry. ”
Everyone had no choice but to keep the boat as close to the river as possible, and let people keep an eye on the shore at any time.
Wang Chuan and Zhuangniu went to the burden and ran more cheerfully. It only took more than two hours to pass through the ancient fish tribe. traveled all the way to the west, but it took only two days to reach the place where everyone hunted beasts.
This area is similar to the savanna of later Africa, with flat land and few trees. This is because trees are eaten by passing beasts all year round, and it is difficult for them to grow into trees. But the abundant animal fertilizer and abundant water source make the flowers and plants here be well nourished, and elsewhere there are only speckled grass colors, which are already densely packed, although they have just emerged now, but I believe that in a few days, these grasses will grow into a patch.
When Wang Chuan arrived here, the beast tide had not yet arrived, and it was quiet here, except for the occasional bird flying in the distance.
Further along the river, the direction of the river turns southwest. The road is almost always a similar savanna scene. This also told Wang Chuan that the beast tide crossed the river somewhere in front of it, and then walked along the river bank from southwest to northeast.
Having walked to the land, the baby elephants and baby rhinos clearly enjoyed it. They ran for two days in a row, perhaps tired, and when they got here, they slowed down. Sometimes, Wang Chuan also let the baby elephant take the little rhinoceros to wander in the thin forest, watch it smell the buds by itself, or pull a little tender grass to taste.
I walked slowly for two more days, and on this day, the river in front of me suddenly spread out from the field of vision, and countless rivers appeared in front of me, and it was difficult to walk on the road ahead. In the distance along the riverbank, mountains and forests appeared.
It turns out that the river in this area has expanded to a boundless state. This is already the edge of Mizusawa.
The people in the boat came ashore and reported, "Elder Chuan, this area has already passed the place where we came to catch slaves, and we don't know what place it is. ”
Wang Chuan said: "We don't go forward, these places should be our destination." Let's find a place to camp and settle the baby elephants. It is from here that the beast tide must have crossed the river. ”
Zhuang Niu said: "It's so big here, where did they come from?" ”
Wang Chuan said: "The thin forest we walked in was caused by their migration. This is the end of the road, which means that they either cross the river from us, or somewhere behind us, and see where the water is shallow. ”
Zhuang Niu said: "Then we will wait for them to come on the shore." ”
Wang Chuan said: "This is fine, but I want to go inside and have a look." ”
There is almost no end to this water. If the later tribe can use it, this is a valuable asset, and it is estimated that it will be easy to feed 100,000 people. It's a pity that I don't know about it.
Everyone stopped the boat and walked to the mountain not far away, found a place at the foot of the mountain, and cut down a small village. Wang Chuan asked the baby elephants and rhinoceros to be looked after in the camp, and he got on the boat to check the water.
The water is full of smoke and waves, and the new reeds and aquatic plants are everywhere, and if you go deep into it, it is easy to find that there is a vast area all around, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction. Wang Chuan asked people to walk all the way and insert poles all the way to mark. One is to test the depth of the water, and the other is to mark the direction.
Mizusawa is indeed rich in products, and there are many prawns and crabs in a net, and the types of fish are even more dazzling. Quinoa and mushrooms are also everywhere in the wetlands.
Wang Chuan walked back with people for a while, and then turned around and went south, and actually encountered countless geese returning south. These geese are not lined up in herringbones, they are all arranged in zigzag lines, and the span of the procession is hundreds of meters long. They came and went, and the sailboats, which were not afraid of the crowd, landed beside them and began to feed on the water.
The people of the River tribe had been plagued by other birds last year, and they had some latent hatred for these birds, so they opened their bows or cast their nets, turning all the geese near the sailboat into prey. The eaglet was even more ferocious, it rushed into the sky, flew directly into the ranks of those geese, fanned with wide wings, pecked with its beak, and grabbed it with its claws, scattering the ranks one by one, and then grabbed one or two poor geese and came back to Wang Chuan to ask for credit.
When the feathers in the sky fell, the flotilla went a little further south, and one of the ships in front of it almost sank into the mud, and it turned out that the flotilla had encountered a very shallow place.
Wang Chuan was about to let people go around this place, when suddenly a rumbling sound came from a distance. The eaglet flew into the sky again, as countless hovering eagle harriers appeared in the distant sky. As the eagle harrier approached, the rumbling sound became clear. There was the sound of splashing, the long chirping, roaring, screaming, colliding, and so on.
In the direction where the voice came, a black wave pushed the waves surged.
The tide of migrating beasts is coming.
