Chapter 21: Stepping into the River

In the temple, the [Sacrificial Offering] slot once again welcomed new items.

…

[Magic Harpoon]: Faith +1/hour, 1/3 times (charging), 100% chance of hitting the fish.

…

Lu Yao looked at the new offering in his hand.

The harpoon is about one and a half meters long, with an iron three-pronged fork installed on the top of the wooden stick. It looks like a rough handmade fishing tool.

Holding the [Magic Harpoon] in his hand, Lu Yao felt that if he had another cigarette, he would be able to perfectly replicate the little fishman Yuan Hua.

It cannot be said that this sacrifice was completely useless.

If a fisherman goes out fishing and there is really no fish to take, he can take out the harpoon and catch a few fish and put them in the fish basket while no one is watching. This will ensure that he will never come back empty-handed and avoid being laughed at by other fishermen.

However, for Lu Yao, the special ability of the [Magic Harpoon] is of no use and it can only serve as a mascot.

Fortunately, it can provide 1 point of faith every hour, which is more useful than throwing the [Golden Dice] into the bonfire.

Lu Yao accepted the sacrifice, which also made the Donghe tribe in the pixel world feel relieved.

"The gods accepted the sacrifice."

"The offering is the most important treasure of the tribe. This should appease the gods."

“I hope the local gods can bless us.”

【The attitude of the Donghe tribe becomes friendly.】

At this point, the relationship between the Donghe tribe and the Garlic tribe further eased, and with the support of the tribal leaders, the two sides also began formal trade.

The wheat, potatoes, garlic and meat produced by the Garlic Tribe were exchanged for fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish from the East River Tribe. By bypassing the middleman Salt Pond Tribe, both tribes were able to exchange more goods.

Taking advantage of this peaceful time, Lu Yao put on his shoes and went out.

He walked along the street according to his memory, turned a corner and found a small fishing tackle shop.

"Handsome guy, what do you want to buy?" asked the middle-aged boss, smoking a cigarette.

"Fishing nets."

"Now we only have the pull net. How long do you want? There are 2*5m, 2*10m, and 2*20m. They are all 12 strands thick, strong and easy to use."

"The 2*5 meter one."

"68 a pair."

Lu Yao gave the money, took the fishing net in the plastic bag, and walked quickly home.

After the bow and arrow were completely integrated into the world, he was thinking about what to send to the Garlic Tribe next. After dealing with the problem of the Donghe Tribe, he made a decision.

Fishing net.

The East River is connected to the East China Sea, and the river and the sea are rich in resources, which should be utilized as soon as possible. The development of shipbuilding and navigation is based on fishing.

Lu Yao observed that the Donghe tribe also had no fishing nets, and they relied on sea monsters and harpoons to catch fish.

Perhaps because fishing was too easy for them, there was no need to further develop tools, so both canoes and harpoons remained at a relatively primitive stage.

In the Garlic Tribe, hunters made traps and leather clothes. They had long learned to make ropes, and with ropes they had the materials for fishing nets.

Lu Yao placed the fishing net on the mouse.

A prompt appeared on the screen.

——Would you like to bestow the [Fishing Net] upon your believers?

【yes】

As the fishing nets were thrown into the Garlic Tribe, the little people of the Garlic Tribe became excited.

"Fishing net, catch fish, catch fish!"

"With a fishing net, you can go to the river to catch fish!"

"Make fishing nets. Make lots of fishing nets."

"No fish can escape the fishing net. The whole river is full of food!"

The pixel people weave fishing nets, and some of them take the fishing nets to the river to catch fish.

The appearance of fishing nets also attracted the attention of the Donghe tribe.

“Fishing nets just look bulky.”

"It's not very useful at all. A harpoon is the best. You can catch a fish with one spear."

"Fish are not stupid, how can they get into the net?"

"Foolish land people don't understand how agile fish in water are."

Before long, the smiling faces above their heads turned into exclamation marks, and then into puzzled question marks.

At first, the Garlic Tribe was clumsy in using fishing nets. The little people kept scooping in the water, just like drawing water with a bamboo basket, and they couldn't catch any fish no matter how hard they tried.

The shamans and hunters adjusted their fishing method and waited until the fish entered the range of the fishing net before pulling the net in. From then on, they began to catch sporadic fish.

Later, the Garlic Tribe made further optimizations and adjustments, learning to tie stones around the fishing nets and then throw the nets down.

Because the edges are heavy and sink quickly, the fish in the middle don't have time to swim out and are covered under the net. Tighten the rope so that the edge of the fishing net tightens into a pocket, and once tightened, many fish can be caught.

The scene of catching dozens of fish with one net shocked the East China Sea tribe.

Many little people from the Donghe tribe gathered around the fishing net, talking in a buzzing voice, their expressions changing at the speed of light.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It is indeed a great gift from God."

"It's strange why fish can't help but go in there when there's no bait."

"Treasure, this is a treasure! And it's a treasure that can be made!"

Some villains were still sighing, while others took action.

[Grandmother] came again by boat and visited the seer and the shaman.

The two tribes discussed for a while and came to a conclusion.

[The Garlic Tribe teaches how to make and use fishing nets, and the Donghe Tribe's attitude becomes more intimate.]

[The Donghe tribe taught the Garlic tribe how to make and use canoes. ]

Lu Yao rubbed his shoulders.

This is what I want, bro.

Technical exchange.

If the Garlic Tribe wants to develop rapidly, it cannot work in isolation. It must increase exchanges and learning with other tribes to acquire more technology and culture.

In this respect, the Yanchi tribe is quite cunning.

As a partner of the Garlic Tribe, the Salt Pond Tribe also has a close attitude towards the Garlic Tribe, but the technology they possess has never flowed here.

From the beginning to the end, the Yanchi tribe regarded the garlic tribe as a commodity production area and a part of their trade network where they could profit from it.

They neither opened up roads nor revealed the true location of their tribe. They firmly controlled the outgoing passages and maps, secretly curbing the development of the Garlic Tribe.

Even the offering to the god Lu Yao, the [Golden Dice], was insincere and purely perfunctory.

The reason why Lu Yao is actively looking for a channel connecting to the outside world is that he wants to get rid of the stranglehold of the Yanchi tribe and find another corridor leading to the outside world.

[Grandmother] knelt on the ground outside the temple and worshiped.

A question mark appeared above her head.

Lu Yao clicked it.

"Great God Yao, please forgive our disrespect. We, the Donghe tribe, are believers in praying to God and should seek His protection and help. But we are just a small and weak tribe with a small number of people, and our voice cannot be heard by the gods..."

"The Donghe tribe would never dare to offend or doubt your wisdom and majesty."

"The prophets and shamans said that you always protect those who believe in you. Now, we, a group of humble outsiders, beg you for mercy."

"The Donghe tribe is responsible for raising sea monsters, and they are also our most important assets. But since last year, the sea monsters have been sick, very sick, and three have died. Now there are only seven left."

"If the women in the tribe can no longer give birth to sea monsters and provide them to the temple for sea monsters to shed their skins, then our tribe will be completely abandoned by the Donghai clan, and the entire tribe will not be able to survive here."

"We must give birth to more sea monsters to fill the gaps in sea monsters."

Lu Yao was silent after seeing this.

The sea monster was actually born by a woman from the Donghe tribe.

Is this a bit...

Thanks to Jinjin for supporting 100 Qidian coins.
