This is a flood discharge channel, and the amount of water is not large at the moment because the river is relatively shallow after falling into the water. In many places, you can see huge rocks exposed above the water, like giant beasts crawling in the river.
There are slightly steep cliffs on both sides of the bank. Although the mountains on both sides are not very high, the drop of tens to hundreds of meters still feels very thrilling when viewed from the bottom up.
On the exposed rock walls on both sides of the river, you can still clearly see the traces left by water erosion in different periods.
The highest position is nearly ten meters high.
The clearest trace is around four meters.
In other words, the annual flood height of the Great Lakes during the rainy season is only about four meters, and the largest flood can reach more than ten meters. According to the width of the canyon, if the flood flow is calculated by submerging more than ten meters, Xu Chen would feel a little pale.
However, a flood of this height is at least once in a century.
But if it really happens, not only the campsites and kilns built now will be submerged, but even the tung trees and tung trees on the shore of the lake will be submerged in large areas.
Although he felt a little apprehensive, Xu Chen also knew that such extremely violent rain would not come at a moment's notice, and he would not give up the camp and move to a higher mountain because of choking.
You must know that the earth has experienced greater floods in the past. If he arranged it this way, he could only let all the tribes migrate to higher mountains.
Although the river is difficult to navigate and dangers are everywhere, for Lei and a group of familiar hunters who have already walked through it once, the speed of this trip will be much faster.
The six rafts moved along the winding river, blaring horns to communicate with each other, constantly avoiding boulders and some rapids. In just half a day, they had traveled seventy or eighty miles.
As it went downstream, several other valley streams entered the river, and the river became much larger and more rapid.
After seeing the entrance of another small river, Lei reminded nervously:
"Your Majesty the Witch King, after crossing this river, you should enter the territory of those barbarians not far ahead!"
"Order to dock first and take a rest!"
While Xu Chen was appreciating the scenery along the way and paying attention to the conditions of the river, he was also constantly communicating with Lei about these white-haired, four-eyed, four-handed monsters.
However, Lei couldn't tell much new content, so Xu Chen could only wait until he saw these barbarians before making any distinction.
It's a mule or a horse, pulling it out for a ride.
Whether it is a human or a ghost, he will know it clearly at a glance.
A group of people docked at a slightly flat spot on the river bank. After eating, drinking and resting for half an hour, the team continued their journey.
After more than ten miles downstream, the river suddenly turned a big bend to the southwest, and the river suddenly became narrow. Stones of all sizes filled the river, and the current was fast, making it particularly dangerous for a raft to walk along it.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, last time we met those weirdos at another corner not far ahead!" Lei Luo squatted on the raft nervously, holding the handle of the knife at his waist tightly to remind him.
A group of hunters who had experienced it last time were even more nervous. They all clung to the ropes and long wood pulp poles on the raft and looked around.
Xu Chen looked at the undulating mountains and slightly steep cliffs on both sides of the river, frowned slightly, then smiled and consoled him: "Don't be nervous, everyone, we are protected by the Mother Goddess, there will not be any danger, remember, wait
No matter there is any movement or anything you see, don’t panic. No matter it’s a barbarian or a monster or a demon, they all just look scary. We killed and ate the five big birds with ghost faces in the Devil’s Valley.
There is no need to be afraid of these guys who can only bark but cannot fly. They are just like a group of monkeys. Everyone is ready and the trumpeter is blowing the trumpet."
"Blow the trumpet?" Lei asked in surprise and confusion.
"Haha, just tell these guys that we are here, and we are here to subdue them. If they don't come out, it will be a wasted trip!" Xu Chen stood up with a smile and began to prepare his bow and arrow.
Although Lei and a group of hunters were still a little nervous, thinking about the presence of His Majesty the Witch King and the blessing of the First Mother Goddess, they were suddenly filled with courage for no apparent reason, and they all began to shout and prepare weapons.
While he was talking, the raft moved forward for several more miles in the fast and rugged river. As expected, he saw the river beginning to turn eastwards.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, it's just around the corner!"
Lei and a group of hunters all raised their weapons nervously in an instant, and several boatmen operating the raft also became slightly panicked, causing the raft to almost hit rocks in the river several times.
"Don't be nervous, everyone..."
Before Xu Chen finished speaking his words of comfort, he heard a hunter pointing to the top of the steep cliff at the corner and exclaiming: "Look, the monster is coming!"
Xu Chen looked in the direction pointed by the hunter. He looked carefully several times before finally confirming that there seemed to be a white figure standing on the top of the cliff. It was unclear how many eyes it had, but it did seem to have four hands.
It looks like, and it keeps jumping.
At this time, we were still about a mile away from the accident site.
Moreover, the raft was bumping and it was difficult to see clearly.
A panic began to spread among the team, and many people began to panic.
Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that most of his worries along the way had subsided.
He is not afraid of these weirdos. What he is afraid of is that if he doesn't meet them this time, his trip will be in vain.
Before the waterway has been fully explored and the dangers along the way have not been eliminated, the only way to go to and from the salt mines and tung trees is to take a detour through the Yugong Clan.
But this time he went out and became even more convinced of one thing.
That is, only by constantly exploring unfamiliar areas can we discover more useful resources.
Just staying in the Ba clan and the royal city can only lead to development in the old-fashioned way.
When I braved the danger for the first time and went out, I not only opened the map on both sides of the Wulong River Basin, but also successively discovered four different large ethnic groups, including the Yu Gong Clan, the Wugui Clan, the Cicha Clan, and the Youqing Clan, which formed the basis for the Ba Kingdom.
The population expansion laid a solid foundation, and during that trip and exploration, he successively found various resources such as salt mines, lead mines, tung trees, sumac, lotus root, bamboo, and tin mines.
It is precisely thanks to the discovery and introduction of these resources that Bahrain has experienced rapid development.
In particular, the discovery of lead ore and tin ore enabled the successful research and development of bronze, which became the core driving force for the development of Bameng.
The emergence of bronze tools has increased the efficiency of industrial and agricultural production such as farming, road building, construction, logging, car building, and stone mills by countless times, driving the entire Bahrain League to easily advance into farming civilization, and laying a solid foundation for the establishment of the country of Bahrain.
.
After that exploration, Xu Chen has been immersed in digesting the development dividends brought by these resources and population. During this period of five years, he almost did not make any big moves.
Although they successively conquered the Pi, Taq, and Moten tribes, and forced the poor tribes to voluntarily surrender, the addition of these ethnic groups, apart from gaining some of the population, actually did not bring any impact to the development of Pakistan.
Any substantial changes and progress.
The only gain was that he had an undisclosed relationship with Pi Wu and gave birth to a son.
As for these tribes, except for the Youqiong tribe and the Pi tribe, he briefly visited them once, but did not understand them in depth, let alone explore or introduce any resources.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
But this time in order to find new salt mines, he personally went on a trip and discovered new resources such as spicy fruits, citrus, and tung oil. In order to process and transport tung oil, he unexpectedly discovered ginkgo and tung oil.
These two edible resources are shared.
Ginkgo is next. It can be eaten, but it is limited to dried fruit snacks similar to milk fruits. It is not significant whether it is useful or not, but the large tracts of Ginkgo trees will bring extremely useful edible vegetable oil resources to Pakistan. It will definitely be used again
Promote the further development of Pakistan’s food culture.
In addition, he will also introduce a large number of these two trees to Gonghuo Basin and other tribes.
Gongtong, in particular, has great edible and ornamental value. In the future, it will be planted around the royal city and on both sides of the river embankment. It will not only provide shade and solidify the soil, but also bring the ultimate beautiful scenery.
At the turn of spring and summer, the entire royal city is submerged in a sea of tung trees and tung trees. In autumn and winter, the leaves are intertwined with gold and red. What a beautiful sight it must be.
Therefore, if we want Pakistan to develop better, we will have to travel far and wide in the future.
Just relying on these primitive people who can only fight and drive piles, they can only bring back a few people when they go out, because the better the resources, the less they know them.
Even facing strange races with all kinds of strange behaviors and habits will bring great fear to humans who are still in the period of primitive god worship.
Just like this white-haired barbarian with four eyes and four hands who suddenly appeared.
At this time, we were getting closer and closer to the cliff, and it seemed that we could see more and more clearly.
Sure enough, it was all white, with four clear hands, and two horns on its head. As for the glowing eyes, Xu Chen didn't see it. After all, it was still too far away, plus the obstruction of thorn trees and the constant movement of the raft.
It was bumpy and swaying, and Xu Chen couldn't clearly tell what kind of monster it was.
Of course, he was still convinced that this was a human being and not some demon or monster.
“Jiwajiwa, ahlululu~~”
The barbarian with white hair and four arms on the cliff seemed to have discovered the raft in the river, and made a sharp and strange cry.
"Ehha~Ehha~, ahhhhhhh..."
Almost at the same time, various high and low piercing screams began to sound everywhere on the cliffs on both sides of the river, and white figures began to appear on the cliffs. Some were holding on to tree vines and jumping, some were waving sticks,
Others screamed and started throwing stones at the bottom of the cliff.
All the hunters on the raft were extremely nervous.
But because of Xu Chen's support and the comfort in advance, the entire raft team did not panic like last time. Instead, under Lei's roar, they carefully controlled the raft through the rocks in the rapids.
