This year's rainy season was not long, ending in less than 20 days.

After the weather clears, the temperature also rises rapidly, and the hottest phase of the year is about to begin.

At this time, the two moons at night also get bigger and bigger, and you don't need torches at night to see the neighborhood.

After Shao Xuan successfully survived the second tribulation with a thousand grains of gold, he took people on board the ship and prepared to start this long journey.

After the rainy season, the water of the Yan River rises a little more, because it washes a lot of mud, so the river has a little muddy yellow.

Looking at the river flowing downstream, Shao Xuan said goodbye to the tribesmen and set sail with two hundred selected people.

There were two ships, each with a hundred people on board, and the one Shao Xuan was on was in front.

In fact, the two ships sent by the Longboat tribe were very large, enough to carry two hundred people, not to mention two hundred, five hundred people were enough. But the ship is loaded with goods, which uses up some space, and if there are two ships, if one encounters any accidents, the other can be used to complete the rest of the journey.

Two boats with the Yanjiao totem left from the Yanjiao headquarters, hoisted their sails, and headed downstream of the Yanhe River.

This trip will definitely not bring other fierce beasts, Chirp is an exception, who let it fly, and if Shao Xuan is not in the Yanjiao Tribe, it will not be able to stay by itself, so this long trip, Chirp will also follow, just to help Shao Xuan observe the movement in the distance, after all, the vision on the ship is limited.

Half a day later, Shao Xuan put away the monoculars he made, and directed the crew to dock and plant monuments.

After the name of the Yan River, the stele with the name of "Yan River" was not inserted too far, after all, the people in charge of inserting the stele at that time were not a long-distance team, and the distance they could walk was limited.

Now, their team will go even further. Naturally, it will also be easy to plug in all the way. Therefore, starting from here, every time he goes on a journey in the future, Shao Xuan will let people stick to the shore and plant monuments.

When the people who planted the monument were busy working on the shore, there were also people who stood guard nearby to prevent being attacked. This is no longer the place they are familiar with. Be vigilant.

Shao Xuan asked Chirp to take him to the sky, flew around in circles, and after landing on the ground, he took out an animal skin scroll and opened it, took out a thin animal brush and dipped it in some paint, and began to draw in circles on it. He was supplementing the map, since the tribe was going to live in the area of the Yan River for a long time, they must know more about the things on both sides of the river.

The mountains and forests full of fierce beasts are very simple, the terrain is almost the same, and there will be no human habitation. If there were, the ancestors of Yanjiao, who had been isolated by the Great River before, would have known about it a long time ago, and they wouldn't have seen anyone from the outside for nearly a thousand years.

What Shao Xuan wants to observe is mainly the other side.

Thanks to the catastrophe last year, the changes on both sides of the strait were different, with one side sinking downwards and the other rising upwards, causing the terrain on one side to be lower. The other side was higher, and Shao Xuan and the others could only see the lower side of the boat.

Fortunately, the low-lying side is also the side where they need to make important observations. Far away from the beast land, most of the tribes that live here are here, and the boats are also close to this side and go downstream.

After the monument was planted, everyone also rested for a while and continued to set off.

After that, I did a lot of things every day, and sometimes I would encounter some fierce beasts that ran to the river to drink water. It's just that those fierce beasts can't swim, so they can only watch Shao Xuan roar unwillingly.

"Will there be more swimming beasts crossing the river and running to the other side?" asked Dori.

"No," Tuo didn't think. "The beasts in the mountains and forests know where the right place is for them, and at most they run over because of an accident, and eventually they will return to the original mountain forest. "I have more experience in hunting, and I can guess the habits of many fierce beasts.

"No wonder we haven't seen many beasts crossing the river now. Dorry nodded.

"There are other reasons as well. Shao Xuan put away the animal skin roll in his hand and said, "In the memories of many fierce beasts, this side should be dangerous, coupled with the catastrophe of heaven and earth last year, the movement here at that time must have been very large, and the fierce beasts that originally lived near the river bank may have left far away, just like the night swallows that lived near our tribe are now gone, perhaps, they ran to other places when they took refuge, and then chose a new place to live." Therefore, in the short term, there should not be too many fierce beasts crossing the river. ”

After a pause, Shao Xuan continued, "Besides, there are tribes living on the other side of the river, even if these tribes are not close to each other, they will at least have an impact on the beasts that come over, after all, there is fire in the tribe." ”

As soon as Shao Xuan mentioned the tinder, Duoli and Tuo understood that the people of their Yanjiao no longer existed because the primordial tinder no longer existed, so many times they forgot to think about the tinder, but in many tribes living here, the primordial fire still exists. Even if it is a small tribe, the fire will have a certain deterrent effect on the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests.

In the next few days, the situation on both sides of the Yan River was similar, nothing new.

Shao Xuan continued to supplement the map, he could sense whether there were tribes nearby, and he couldn't sense the breath of people far away from the riverbank, but he could sense the breath of fire, although it was not obvious, and even some tribes even deliberately covered it up, even if the witches of many tribes came in person, they might not be able to capture the fire breath of those tribes, but Shao Xuan could still sense it.

Because of time, it is impossible for him to go to those tribes one by one to investigate, but as long as he senses the breath of fire, some basic situations can be understood, which is also an ability that Shao Xuan has only recently noticed.

A few years ago, if he wanted to know what a tribe's fire was, he had to be close to that tribe to know, just like when he first crossed the river, he sensed the fire of the tribe when he was in the tribe, and now, he doesn't need to be too close to feel it. It's just that sometimes because a tribe is really too far away, he can only feel a vague breath.

Ten days later, Shao Xuan had marked seven dots on the map, four of which had totems drawn next to them, and the other three had not. The dots indicate that there is a tribe living there, and if you look closely, you will see that the locations of the tribes that marked the totems are closer to the riverbank, while the locations of the tribes that have not drawn the totems are farther away from the riverbank.

It is impossible for Shao Xuan to mark the location of those tribes very accurately now, he can only get a general direction, and the map drawn can only be used as a rough reference, at least so that the Yanjiao people can know how many tribes live in the Yanhe area.

In the future, if there are more people in the Yanhe trading area and more information is obtained, the map will be supplemented, step by step.

"Further on, it should be the Gu tribe, right?" asked Dori.

"Well, that's what the message from Zhengluo said. Shao Xuan looked at the information about the Gu tribe that Zhengluo gave him, and the Gu tribe was the farthest away from Yanjiao, so Shao Xuan remembered it clearly.

The Gu tribe, which Zheng Luo said, went to the Yanhe trading area to sell fishing nets, and it is said that they also lived next to the Yan River, and they were luckier than the Luo tribe who were wiped out in the natural disaster, and they did not suffer much damage, that is, they should be a little far away from the river bank.

Shao Xuan cheered up, if he couldn't concentrate, he might not be able to feel those tribes far away from the riverbank.

Although the Gu tribe is good at making fishing nets and must have fished frequently, before the catastrophe, the rivers on this side were not so easy to fish, and they may have fished in other rivers a little further away from the river banks.

Shao Xuan asked the chirp in the sky to pay attention to other rivers on the nearby land, and if he noticed a trace of someone, he would warn him.

Another day passed, and Shao Xuan did not notice the existence of the breath of fire from another tribe.

The chirp who was entrusted with the important task also saw no trace of human activity, and even there were no other rivers in the vicinity except for the Yan River! There were no lakes, and at most there were some fine mountain springs.

Perhaps because of the lack of rivers, far away from the Yan River, the vegetation does not grow densely, the undulating mountains, looking very monotonous, on both sides of a river, two completely different landscapes, this side of the land of fierce beasts, lush forests, from a high place to the distance, lush, farther places are full of towering ancient trees, compared to the other side, it is simply the difference between long hair and hair inches.

There are no other rivers, and if you look at the woodlands over there, you may not be suitable for planting, the vegetation is not lush, and there may not be many wild animals living there, so it is even less likely that there will be tribes living in this area.

"What kind of poppy tribe, are they really in this area? Are they lying?" said Dori.

Not only Dori, but other people also think so, not every tribe will tell the truth when they go to the Yanhe trading area, some just tell a general direction, even if you really go, you may not be able to find them, just like the Qi tribe, they know where they live, but few people can find their lair.

And some tribes don't tell the truth, and even point in the wrong direction.

"Maybe we've already passed through the place of the Gu tribe. Tuo said.

On the map drawn by Shao Xuan, there are three areas marked with tribal life that do not perceive the totem, and among these three, there may be a Gu tribe.

"It's also possible. Shao Xuan nodded in agreement with Tuo's guess, but after thinking about it, he took out the fishing nets that the Gu tribe had brought to the Yanhe trading area.

The people of the Gu tribe took the fishing nets to change things in the Yanhe trading area, and these fishing nets were collected and collected, Shao Xuan brought out the fishing nets of the two Gu tribes on this trip, and if he couldn't hunt the beasts, he would try to catch them with fishing nets.

The fishing nets of the Gu tribe are different from those of the Luo tribe, the fishing nets of the Luo tribe are thinner, while the fishing nets of the Gu tribe are thick and fine, and the weaving style is also very different from that of the Luo tribe, and there are more patterns on the same net.

Looking at the nets, Shao Xuan turned his head to Dori, who was fishing with a fishing rod, and said, "Call Kuntu over, I have something to ask him." ”

Dori answered, put away the fishing rod, and hurried to the cabin to find Quint.

This time, Shao Xuan selected nearly 100 people from the guards of the Yanhe Trading Area, accounting for half of the number of people in this expedition. People who often guard the Yanhe trading area have seen many tribes, and they will also have an impression of those unfamiliar tribes. Kuntu was the guard at the entrance to the Yanhe Trading Area, and one of those who had direct contact with the Gu tribe. (To be continued.) )
