The water level of Jicang River is much larger than that of Bashui and Wushui, and it is close to the inlet estuary, where the river becomes extremely wide and the flow rate is gentle.

Several mountains have formed a vast plain under the erosion of two rivers for billions of years, which is even larger than the river beach at the mouth of the Wu people’s valley in the upper reaches.

Standing at a high place and looking up and down the Wulong River, you can clearly see different landforms and environments.

The upstream direction is full of rolling mountains and ridges, one mountain is higher than the other, and the layers are stacked and ended.

In the downstream direction, the mountain gradually became lower and the vision was extremely wide. You could see a long line of mountains in the distant horizon. Under this extremely broad and transparent view, you might be hundreds of miles away.

This is the same as Xu Chen’s previous speculation. Going down the river, you should gradually connect to the original area.

As for how long this river is, it is unknown whether it is directed to the sea or a tributary of a certain river.

Although the Wulong River is large enough, according to his judgment, the dry water period is about the same size as the Han River, and the abundant water period is comparable to the Yangtze River, but the climate of this era is very different from the once familiar earth. If it were based on the time and scale of heavy rain last summer, it is still very likely that this river is a tributary of another larger river.

So, what will the scale of larger rivers downstream be like?

Xu Chen felt that he couldn't figure it out.

But these are not things he needs to consider now.

This time he came to check the hydrology and environment of the Jicang River estuary. Next time he arranged for someone to try to see if he could go down the Ba people and Wu people to get here, and then go up the Jicang River and enter the Gonghuo Braziland.

As long as this waterway is opened, the time for the two places to travel will be greatly shortened in the future, and the interactions between the two alliances will be more frequent and convenient.

With the development of the Gonghuo Plain, a wharf may be built at this estuary in the future, and a wharf town will be slowly formed, which will radiate and drive the freight and personnel exchanges between the entire Gonghuo Alliance and the Ba people.

Because it was getting late, Xu Chen and his men visited the river estuary and checked it out.

That night, camped at the foot of the nearby sheltered mountain.

The next morning, Xu Chen led his people to go up the river to check if there was any road leading to the Wu tribe.

However, he was a little disappointed. After wandering upwards for more than ten miles, he encountered a cliff blocking him. A tributary of about the size of Wushui appeared on the other side of the river. Even on the river beach, primitive people wearing furs could be seen hunting.

"Yeah~~~~~"

The hunter who followed couldn't help but waved excitedly.

The savages on the opposite side soon discovered their existence, stopped hunting and ran to the river bank to observe here, and someone started to wave and shout.

Gu and others joined in the fun and sounded the horn. Ju and others also raised the chess piece high and shook it hard, which scared all the savages on the opposite side. They screamed and ran away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Cowardly!"

A group of hunters burst into laughter.

Xu Chen was so amused and crying.

It seems that there should be many primitive tribes on both sides of this river.

However, the river blocked the river and could not communicate, which gave him some ideas.

At that time, build a raft to the opposite side and gather some tribes, which will form three alliance forces and the population will further increase.

As the population increases, his pace of exploration and expansion will also be greatly accelerated.

As long as the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can communicate, the Wulong River basin will be included in its sphere of influence.

Therefore, although he did not find a shortcut to the Wu and Ba tribes along the river, Xu Chen was still very satisfied. This trip was a lot of rewards.

On the way back, Xu Chen called the leaders of the captive army who came with Lei and Gonghuo tribe together to give instructions and arrangements, so that they could take time to visit the river frequently, especially when the water surges in summer, they should pay attention to the flooding location and make some preparations for the future construction of the dock. In addition, people should be arranged to patrol the water flow conditions of the Jicang River in all seasons to provide detailed waterway data for future waterway travel.

When we returned to the Gonghuo Clan, it was already the evening of the next day.

The two-day hunting competition has ended.

The Allied Forces of the Six Clans participated in the hunting and obtained the most prey, but did not participate in this competition, just to find out the situation on the other side and get food.

The twin little witches and dragons stay at the station to maintain hunting order and judge the results of the hunting competition.

Because the Gonghuo Clan lost a large number of hunters, the results of this hunting competition were not good and only won the third place. A tribe named Qu, second only to the Gonghuo Clan in the alliance tribe, won the first place. They hunted more than 40 wild animals in two days, and there was actually aquatic giant beast.

The giant beast looks like a beaver, but it has a head and tail of nearly two meters, with rodents, giant claws, flat tails, gray-brown fur all over, and two huge sharp front teeth thicker than arms.

Looking at this horrible thing, Xu Chen's face turned pale and stunned for a long time.

From the outside, this is a close relative of a beaver who likes to build dams in the water, but his size is so big that it is so scary.

And looking at the thick and sharp front teeth, it is estimated that the wood of the waist can be easily chewed off.

“Where did this come from?”

Xu Chen came to his senses and felt the chrysanthemums shrink and the chill behind him.

"Linga!"

A group of hunters from the Qu tribe pointed to a large dense forest near the river bank two miles upstream.

Xu Chen was silent again.

The woods happened to pass by when they came a few days ago. It was a swampy mudflat with many huge willow trees and a large number of plants like mangroves. The roots of large and small are intertwined together. A group of complex situations. Even with the guide of the Cha clan, they still walked around it for nearly an hour before they got out.

At that time, I only thought there were many water birds and turtles and snakes inside, but I had never seen this thing.

However, judging from the appearance of this thing, it is indeed a swamp creature.

It is not surprising that it appears in that mudflat wood, but it is just that it is so scary.

When two or three hunters meet, it is probably not enough for it to grind its teeth.

Moreover, this thing can swim. If you pass by the river on a raft, the consequences of falling into the water will be unimaginable.

Therefore, the river does not seem to be as peaceful and peaceful as it appears.

If this thing appears in groups, it can almost cut off traffic in the river.

In addition, with such a large beaver, so larger fish, snakes and even crocodiles may be hidden during the period.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt Xu Chen's hair standing upside down.

The Ji Cang River is just an inconspicuous river. The Wulong River not far away is larger, flowing farther, and the hydrological environment is more complex. There must be even more terrifying wild beasts on the water and land.

Just like the dragon that was originally entrenched in the swamp forest at the mouth of the Wu tribe.

This world is far from being as simple and peaceful as you know it.

In this sparsely populated and isolated primitive wilderness, ghosts know how many super beasts they don’t know or know are hidden.

Although this beaver is not as fierce as a dragon, and its ferocity seems to be much worse, the exaggerated body shape and sharp minions alone are enough to make people frightened.

"Is there a lot of this thing in the river?"

Xu Chen turned around and asked a captive leader of the Gonghuo tribe.

"Duoga, kill...four or five..."

The captive leader thought and said while leaning on his fingers.

"Is it easy to kill?"

Xu Chen asked with a thrust face.

"It's not easy to kill, eat snakes, warm skin, make clothes!" the leader answered seriously.

Although Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his face was still full of entanglement.

The Gonghuo tribe is the largest tribe in the Gonghuo Basin. There are more than 200 adult men, and I don’t know how many big and small beasts are hunted in a year. Although it is mainly small and medium-sized beasts such as wild deer and wild sheep, occasionally a large group of medium and large beasts such as wild donkeys and bisons will be held. The tribe is very powerful, but this super giant beaver can only get four or five heads in a year. It can be seen that it is very difficult to hunt this thing.

There are probably two reasons. One is that the living environment is complex. It is difficult to start amphibious in the dense forests of mudflats. The other is that its huge size and sharp minions are obviously not a vegetarian thing.

The main reason is based on the habits of beaver sons, which likes family-style group living.

However, the fur of this thing is thick, soft and smooth, waterproof and warm, so it should be a good fur.

The Qu tribe relied on a wild beast to win the first place in the hunting competition. The second place was a tribe called the Kun tribe. The number of wild beasts seemed to be more hunting, and there were three adult wild wolves. However, it is said that almost all hunter teams voted for this beaver. This shows that all the primitive people thought that the terrifying combat power of this thing and the difficulty of hunting were very high.

But fear is afraid, but this is a wilderness era that fights harsh natural environment.

The horizontal and vertical ones are just a huge beaver, which is not worth mentioning compared to more ferocious beasts like tigers and dragons.

Therefore, after Xu Chen asked and communicated carefully for a while, he reminded Lei and others for a few words, and then threw the matter aside.

No matter how difficult it is, waterways and shipping must be opened. In the development of development, some sacrifices are inevitable, and it is impossible to give up because of the choke.

In the evening, a grand award ceremony and warrior blessing event were held on the river beach near the wooden platform where the inheritance ceremony was held.

The tribal hunters teams that won the top three were rewarded with pottery and sackcloth.

Xu Chen, the three tribal warriors selected, each awarded a pair of bows and arrows as prizes. The twin little witch and the great witch of the Gonghuo clan blessed the three warriors respectively.

After the event, it is a common bonfire dinner.

In two days, hundreds of wild beasts of all sizes were hunted, some of which had been slaughtered yesterday. The wild beasts hunted today, along with the huge beaver, were also barbecued and cooked.

Xu Chen also took out the remaining jar of vine fruit wine and invited all tribe leaders, leaders and warriors to share.

Eat meat, drink, chat, and under the leadership of the three witches, thousands of people sing and danced around more than ten bonfires in the dusk, and they were jubilant until late at night before slowly ending.

Everyone was very happy at this time because no one was beaten today, which made the tribe leaders who were beaten one after another a few days ago both happy and disappointed.

Although I was not beaten, I am afraid I will never be able to eat such delicious fruit wine for a long time.

This method of brewing wine is said to be the secret of the Ba people.

I want to eat in the future, but I don’t know what year or month it will be.
