Chapter 106: Wild Elephants on the Road
Although it was going upstream, the river was still gentle in this section, so Song Xuan finally had time to check what he had exchanged from various tribes.
Although there are a lot of seeds, there is no way to see which ones they are now, because everyone didn't pay attention to them when they collected them, no matter what type of seeds they were, they were all put together, and it would take a while to separate so many seeds, and they could only be obtained after returning to the tribe.
However, in addition to the people he knows, the others are also opening blind boxes, so although Song Xuan has expectations, the current expectations are not high, and before he goes to the ground, he can only treat them as weeds, otherwise he will be even more disappointed in the future.
But the stones are different, although they are mixed together, but the number is not much, a tribe only has one or two small packages, a dozen or so kinds of them are incredible, most of them are still duplicated.
Although it was said before that only rare stones were collected, as long as it was not too excessive, Song Xuan would turn a blind eye, and no one would take pebbles or the like to make up the number, although most of the stones could be found, but it would take a lot of effort.
The things of each tribe are stored separately, and Song Xuan has also labeled them, the purpose is to prevent confusion, and once they find something useful, they can also directly contact the relevant tribes at that time.
Song Xuan is not aimless, every time he exchanges with a tribe, Song Xuan will ask them about the origin of these things, at least they have to understand most of them, otherwise even if they find it useful in the future, if they can't find after-sales, it will be useless.
Although all of them said that the head was the Tao, how many of them could find the source, Song Xuan could only hope that they did not deceive themselves.
The first to open is the wolf tribe's, although the two sides do not deal with each other, but the wolf tribe has a lot of things, even if the tribe is still some distance from the river, but still found a lot of seeds to send over, and because it is in the mountains, so the types of stones are also very rich.
However, it doesn't seem to be much that can be used, Song Xuan looked at a few in succession, but he didn't find anything, and after smashing it open, it seemed that it only had a little special color.
Song Xuan was not an expert in this area in the first place, so he could only stare at the metal ore he wanted with the only memory, and as for whether he missed it, it could only depend on the will of God.
So even if these stones had been smashed, Song Xuan didn't throw them away. Either way, bring it back to the tribe, practice it with fire, and try not to let go of every stone.
"Huh!"
Looking at the little green in the stone in his hand, Song Xuan felt a little familiar, and when he touched it, it was really very moist, which seemed to be similar to the jade he had seen before.
It's just that the quality of this piece in his hand is not good, only a little bit in the middle of the ore, after coming to this world, Song Xuan has not seen any tribe decorate himself with jade, although the practicality is not very large, but the polished jade is still very good-looking.
If you can get a batch of jade, it should still be very sought-after among the surrounding tribes in the future, especially if you can package it a little, but now there is only one piece, and Song Xuan can only put it in a new bag, remember which tribe it is, and wait until later to confirm with the wolf tribe.
Although a total of more than a dozen kinds of stones were brought, there was nothing special about the others, although a few pieces were red and green, but Song Xuan visually detected that it should not be any metal or other ore.
Although everyone is collecting with good intentions, most of the time they still rely on picking, so it is very difficult to really find the right ore, unless it is very lucky, Song Xuan's practice is to exchange pottery for a greater chance, after all, if you rely on the snake to do this, it will definitely be more difficult.
So I opened several tribes' packages in a row, and I didn't see anything obviously useful from them for the time being, but fortunately, the previous expectations were not high, so I was only a little disappointed.
Next, there are several tribes that have not been opened, but dozens of stones have been smashed one after another, Song Xuan is also a little weak, sitting on the boat and looking at the two shores, the undeveloped scenery is still very attractive, no matter how you appreciate it, you will not feel tired, and different seasons can always give Song Xuan different tastes.
Although the river is already relatively cold, but from time to time there are still fish jumping out of the water in the river, even if you eat so many fish, but you can still attract everyone to take a look, in this big river, the general fish are not small, can see more than one meter, if you catch it back, you can also make everyone have a full meal, but now in a hurry to go back, naturally you can only feast your eyes.
Most of the food was given to Shui Yun and them, and Song Xuan only left food for five and a half days for his group, so everyone's time was still very tight, and when it was time to camp at night, everyone even cast a net, although the harvest was not very much, but there were also two or three three or four catties of fish, and a few fish were divided, just one pound per person, which could be regarded as saving some.
Everyone is good at hunting, and Song Xuan will not worry about starving to death halfway, but after all, time is relatively tight, and there is no need to waste too much time on the road.
The further upstream the river was, the faster the water flowed, Song Xuan was not embarrassed to continue paddling, and he didn't see anything useful, and the few he glimpsed at the beginning didn't seem to be of much use, so he simply rowed with everyone.
It's not too late to go back and look at the rest of the things slowly, rather than exerting effort and not seeing hope, it is better to have a good mood to enjoy the scenery along the way, from Teng Snake to here, two or three hundred miles are still there, from the original mountainous area gradually turned into a vast plain, the scenery is still quite different.
At the same time, Song Xuan also thought that in the future, Teng Snake would have to gradually develop downstream, after all, after all, after the Black Water Tribe was gone, a large part of the place would be deserted, but there was no need to stare at the mountains.
Although Shi Meng and the others have moved over, they still use the thinking of hunting before, and they like to chase wild beasts between the mountains and forests, so when they first hunted, they went straight to the north, and most of the places that were developed later were also mountainous.
The vegetation along the rivers is not as dense as in the mountains, and there are many open areas, and even now you can see many wild animals playing in them, which is no worse than in the mountains, and is terrainically easier to hunt.
But the only drawback is that it is a little far away from the snake, even if you take a boat here, it will take two days, although the resources are abundant, but you can only come here occasionally, and if you come here every time you are tired, it may not be able to row a little.
"Oracle, what do you see that?"
Although everyone is rowing, it is not a race after all, so it is more dependent on muscle memory, just take your time, and still be able to take a look at the surrounding scenery, Shi Yong also saw a strange beast, since he had not seen it before, so he wanted to ask Song Xuan if he knew it for the first time.
"Where?"
Following the direction of Shi Yong's finger, Song Xuan suddenly saw a behemoth, because the color of the body and the surrounding dead trees were integrated, it was really difficult to find if he didn't look carefully.
Looking at the deposit, Song Xuan was a little stunned all of a sudden:
"Isn't this an elephant?"
In Song Xuan's memory, how could an elephant be a real tropical animal, how could it appear in this place? Although the summer is very hot, the winter is very cold, and there is no connection to the tropics at all.
Song Xuanyan was a little confused all of a sudden, but the long nose and two white tusks proved that it must belong to the elephant variety, as for why it appeared here, Song Xuan could only blame it on the peculiarity of the population, although the distance was very far, but the breeze could also see the fluttering hairs on its body, thinking that this was a relatively rare species.
And until now, Song Xuan is not sure whether this place is related to the earth where he used to live, if the two are not the same planet, then the appearance of something that is not within the scope of his cognition is also a normal category, anyway, they have already come here, and it will be safe to see some special species.
"Elephants?"
Listening to Song Xuan's muttering, Shi Yong also read it out.
Looking at this beast that had never been seen before, everyone also discussed:
"It's so far away, it's so big, if you catch one, I'm afraid it's enough for our tribe to eat for several months, right?"
"That's it, but I'm afraid you'll be trampled to death as soon as you pass, hahahaha~"
……
The elephant in the distance was a little bigger than all the elephants Song Xuan had seen before, at least from the naked eye, but it was an exaggeration to eat for a few months, but Song Xuan estimated that if he saved a little, it should be about the same for a month.
However, such prey has long been beyond the scope of Teng Snake's hunting, and judging from Teng Snake's existing weapons, it is not so easy to penetrate his thick skin, just like Shi Shan said, a light scratch can easily kill a person.
Just look at it, imagine a little about the scene of hunting it, and no one is arrogant enough to want to wrestle with such a beast.
Due to the distance, he didn't go ashore to take a look, and Song Xuan only hoped that when he developed the downstream in the future, he wouldn't run into them.
"Moo~"
Although the sound of the cry is similar to the timbre of the two cows in the tribe, the penetrating power is very different, and the deafening can be felt from a distance of one or two miles, and an elephant roar is also a startled bird in the forest, but what makes Song Xuan feel pity is that he only saw this one, and it is said that the elephant should be a social animal.
