One Ear has been in the Water Tribe for fifteen chapters, and yesterday he helped the people of the Water Tribe kill an invading bird and save the child under its claws.

In this way, the friendship of the water tribe was truly won, and it was no longer the ordinary relationship between the two parties in the transaction.

Today, the people of the Water Tribe are preparing to go to the suzerain tribe of the Water Tribe to enter the salt, and this time they are willing to take the single ear and them together to see the demeanor of those big tribes.

This may be to thank their tribe for their help in the event of a surprise attack, or it may simply be to show sincerity in being able to trade weapons with the Fire Tribe. Whatever it was for, in short, they sat on a wooden raft that moved forward in the water.

This is a very simple wooden raft, and the tree used to make the wooden raft is a special tree species that grows around the suzerain's suzerain's tribe of the Water Tribe.

This kind of tree is tall, straight, strong and flexible, after being cut down and placed in a ventilated place to dry, it is not only very light in weight but also very large, and it is not easy to absorb water again and become heavy or moth-eaten and rotten, just like a natural special coating, it is a good material for making wooden rafts or boats and other water vehicles.

Five people were already transported on a wooden raft, but the raft was still high above the water, and there were some pockets made of animal skins, filled with supplies for trading, all of which were hung in the middle of the raft.

This time, he only took two clever hunters to the big tribe together, not to trade, but to increase his knowledge, to see what was special about the big tribe, and to see if there was anything beneficial to the future development of the tribe.

Of course, if in the suzerainlord tribe of the Water Tribe, if you see something good and need to bring it back to the tribe to evolve, then you also need to trade it through the people of the Water Tribe, which is one of the conditions that have been agreed in advance before bringing them here.

After all, after a long period of development, the big tribes have formed some potential rules. For example, in order to support the surrounding small tribes that are close to them or the side tribes that they have branched out, they will only trade with one specific tribe among the many tribes in an area.

And if the other tribes in that area want to get the necessary and scarce materials, they can only trade with the tribes designated by the big tribe, and spend a higher price.

Through the monopoly of necessary scarce materials, those tribes were able to continuously suck blood from the surrounding tribes, and thus grow rapidly. It is also through this method that the water tribe has grown to its current scale.

The river was not too fast, it was gentle, but the terrain they passed through was very treacherous.

Both sides of the water flow are cliffs, strange rocks are craggy, the cliffs are tenacious to grow a leafy tree, between the branches and leaves is even more cloudy mist, the bottom of the cliff does not see the day, it is more yin and terrifying.

In such an environment, they sailed safely in the direction of the current for a total of three days. On the fourth day, there was finally some change in the path of sailing. It was a huge cave twelve meters wide and nearly twenty meters high. The water entered the cave, disappeared without a trace, and disappeared into the darkness.

They did not stop, but went straight down the river into the mouth of the cave, through which they sailed for almost a kilometer.

Throughout the cave road, the torches on the wooden rafts have been burning, and the bright light of the beating fire, as well as the bright light of the mouth of the cave at the end of the cave, which is the size of a baked cake, illuminates and guides them in the direction of progress.

After passing through this long karst cave, their vision suddenly opened up, and behind them were rolling mountains, but in front of them was a huge plain that could not be seen.

On the plains, there were herds of wild beasts that they did not recognize, running madly or quietly eating the grass on the ground.

They came in groups, large and small, large as moving hills, and covered in armor, with thorns that protruded sharply from their bodies, or bony spikes that were really hard as iron. Make them look domineering and tell people that they are not easy to mess with at all, even though they are vegetarians.

The small ones are like long-eared beasts, small and agile, and always full of vitality. is constantly jumping and fighting, just like the antelope in the previous life.

Although they are very different in size, it is normal for them to be able to live in harmony on the same plain, and even for their groups to mingle with each other.

This is not the case on the plains of the Fire Tribe, where each group must keep a safe distance from each other, otherwise there will be conflict.

I heard that the water tribe often came to Demao and said that as long as you pay attention to the movement of the sky during the day to prevent being attacked by birds of prey or flying beasts, there is generally no danger in other places, and it is very safe.

The predators come out at night to hunt, rest and nap in the woods on the plains during the day, and sometimes hunt during the day.

At night, no one must go to the plains, otherwise they can easily become prey, and although many wild beasts do not like to eat people, they can satisfy their natural desire and pleasure to kill.

Although they are very confident in their own strength, they have no intention of challenging the plains of the night. They came to the big tribe to learn about the products and the experience of tribe building, and to learn knowledge, but they didn't come to play with their lives. So they listened carefully to some of Mao's experiences and kept them in mind.

Sailing along the current, in the afternoon they came to the land of the suzerains of the Water Tribe, a high earth hill covered with excavated caves.

Along the course of the mountain, the openings were lined up and down, and on both sides of the mountain were straight cliffs, as if they had been cut straight by a sharp knife, revealing the hard rock beneath the thick layer of earth.

At the foot of the mountain, there is also a section of wall made of rocks, and a wall of about 15 meters high is built by filling in the middle of the earth, but a doorway is opened on it, and the doorway beams are made of giant wood, but there is only a doorway and no door.

The doorway was just wide open to keep the beasts out without affecting the tribe's ability to transport the largest prey they could find.

And there are obvious traces of a fire pit at the doorway, where a fire will surely be lit at night to drive away approaching beasts.

Don't think that the Fire Tribe will use fire, when the Fire Tribe masters the technology of using fire, other tribes will also learn it, or there are other tribes who have already mastered it themselves, and the time may be even earlier than the Fire Tribe.

All the materials on the wooden raft were transported ashore, and Mao and the others also dragged the wooden raft together. And seeing Mao and them coming, the suzeraint tribe of the Water Tribe also sent people to help.

It seems that even the side tribes of the tribe, in the eyes of the suzerain's tribe, are still their own people, but they have carved out new territory outside.

If the suzerain's tribe treats its own side tribes like this, then when the suzerain's tribe encounters difficulties that it cannot solve, it is unknown how much power it will eventually have when they seek help from their own side tribes when they are fully assembled.

This is a very important message, especially in the future when there is a conflict with a large tribe, it is not possible to count its current strength as the final strength of this tribe, but to count the strength of all their side tribes together to count it as his true strength.
