Chapter 80 Entering the Dark Forest Again (Seeking votes and rewards)

"Brothers, work harder." Hehehehe

"Let's go mining" Hehehehe

"Mining can refine copper" Hehehehe "Refine

copper to make bows and arrows" Hehehehe

"Bows and arrows can be used for hunting" Hehehehe

"Hunting can eat meat" Hehehehe

The loud horns resounded through the mountains and forests. On the surface of the stream, Luo Chong beat the rhythm to guide the men to row.

There was no other way. These primitive people were rowing for the first time and had no rowing skills at all. There was a row of people sitting on each side of the wooden boat. If the rhythm of the two sides was not synchronized, they could not move forward.

For example, if the left side is rowed faster and the right side is rowed slower, and the left side is rowed three times in the same time, but the right side is rowed only once, then the wooden boat will deviate to the right, or even spin in place. Therefore, if you want to quickly master the skill of rowing, you must strike a rhythm, synchronize the rowing movements, and keep both sides consistent.

The river is a highway in the mountain forest, but it is obviously slower to go upstream, but it is much faster than walking.

It takes most of the day to walk from the Han tribe to the Dark Forest, but this time it only takes more than three hours to row upstream to the place where Luo Chong first encountered the big tree. It is estimated that if you return, it will take about an hour to go downstream.

However, there is only this section of waterway. The road from the original tree tribe to Babaoshan requires two or three days of land travel, and cattle have to carry the ore back, which is why Luo Chong brought 20 cattle.

"Chief, what should we do with the boat after we leave? This is a good thing, we can't let others take it away."

Everyone landed at the edge of the Dark Forest. The whole journey of rowing here also made them truly realize the benefits of the boat. This thing can carry a lot of people, about 20 people at a time, and it is so fast, which is more convenient than a car. So Dashu asked what to do with the wooden boat as soon as he landed.

"Everyone is tired all morning, let's cook and rest first. After dinner, we will load the tools and supplies on the cows' backs, and drag the boat into the woods together. The wooden pig who is familiar with the terrain and the four teenagers from the Black Rat Tribe will guard it, and the remaining 20 people will each lead a cow to go mining with me." Luo Chong made arrangements without thinking, he had planned these things long ago.

"Wooden Pig, are you okay? I will leave some food for the five of you later. You will have to guard here for about seven sunsets.

If you find an enemy and you still can't defeat them, then abandon the wooden boat and run away to Babaoshan. Go there and meet us. Don't lead them back to the tribe. There are your women and children in the tribe.

Remember, if you encounter danger and can't defeat them, abandon the boat and run away. If the wooden boat is gone, we can rebuild it. It will take at most one month, but if the people are gone, they are gone forever. Protect yourself." Luo Chong made arrangements and gave the wooden pig detailed instructions.

"Yes, chief, I have no problem. The few of us will definitely guard the wooden boat. If the enemy comes, I will take them to Babaoshan." The wooden pig repeated Luo Chong's order and answered affirmatively.

"Well, very good, go pick some food you like to eat, and leave more. We can also hunt on the way, don't worry about us." Luo Chong pointed to the supplies being unloaded from the boat and said.

At noon, a group of men cooked several pots of wild vegetable and salty meat soup for a delicious meal. This is the benefit of spring. Although the temperature is still a little low, some edible wild vegetables have emerged early.

After lunch, everyone worked together to drag the wooden boat to a hidden jungle not far from the river, and cut some branches and shrubs to cover the wooden boat. The wooden pig took the four boys to find a familiar tree hole as a camp, not far from the wooden boat.

This is why Luo Chong wanted to keep the wooden pig, because the people of the original tree tribe are very familiar with the surrounding environment. The wooden pig is not talkative, has a relatively stable personality, and is not a particularly strong person. If he is left to guard the wooden boat, even if an accident occurs, he can escape and report to Luo Chong.

Luo Chong took the remaining 20 people, two Deinonychus and 20 big cows and continued to set off. Dashu and Luo Chong rode Rourou and Huishan to lead the way, and the others followed on cows.

The mark Luo Chong left on the road when he passed here last time was still there, pointing all the way to Babaoshan in the east.

"Chief."

"Hmm?"

"Do you suspect there are still enemies here?" Dashu and Luo Chong were walking in front. Thinking of the arrangements Luo Chong had made at noon, he couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know if there are any, but we must be prepared in advance. If the enemy comes and we are not prepared, then we will suffer.

Also, you are so familiar with this place, have you found anything special?" Luo Chong turned to explain to Dashu.

"Special things?" Dashu turned his head and looked around, carefully observing the environment, "I don't think there is any change."

"I remember when I brought you back and fought with the cannibals, we didn't clean up the corpses left behind, we just stripped their hides and weapons, so where did those corpses go? I clearly remember that there should be corpses in a place, but I didn't see it just now." Luo Chong expressed his observations and doubts.

"The corpse is gone? Could it be eaten by wild beasts?" Dashu guessed.

"You are very familiar with this place. Are there any wild beasts that like to eat corpses in this forest?" Luo Chong asked back.

"Ah? It seems that there really isn't any. There are more rabbits, pythons, and wood mice here. There is also a wild animal that cries like a child. Could it be that thing that ate the corpse?" Dashu thought for a while and answered.

"What the hell, there is also a wild animal that cries like a child? That must be a cat calling in spring, maybe some small or medium-sized cat." Luo Chong analyzed.

"I don't know what a cat calling in spring is, but that kind of animal does cry in spring." Dashu thought for a while and said.

"Well, no matter what, anyway, arrangements have been made. I hope nothing will happen. I hope my feeling is wrong." Luo Chong concluded.

The group walked to the evening, and Dashu led everyone to find a forest stream more than one meter wide as a camp for resting at night.

Places with water are usually very dangerous, but they are many people, and they are all adult men, and their weapons are also very sophisticated. They are not afraid of any enemies. If a wild animal really comes out to drink water in the middle of the night, it will most likely end up as a snack.

Everyone used the ice water from the stream to make dinner. According to Dashu, this kind of stream is formed by the melting of ice and snow in spring. It only appears at the beginning of spring and disappears after a month. The seasonal characteristics are very obvious.

This is the advantage of having local natives as guides, otherwise they may not even find water.

20 cows were tied together in a circle. Stones and feathers were used as fodder for them. Luo Chong also got some food for Rourou and Huishan. The two of them were free to move around, but they were not tied up.

After a day's journey, everyone rested around the fire early in the evening. Luo Chong arranged for everyone to take turns to keep watch in groups of two. If they felt sleepy, they would wake up the next group.

This went on until the second half of the night. A rustling sound of rubbing leaves reached Luo Chong's ears. Luo Chong looked around and suddenly felt unwell.

What? What is that?
