Chapter 41 The Fate of the Donghe Tribe

At the Garlic Tribe's dock, larger paddleboats replaced canoes.

Unlike a canoe that can be steered by one person, a paddle boat requires several people to operate, using sails when the wind is favorable and paddling when the wind is against it.

Compared to canoes, paddleboats can reach deeper waters, are faster, and are more stable and sturdy.

With the galley, the Garlic Tribe expanded its influence further. They traveled along the East River and entered the East China Sea for the first time, starting their initial sailing trip.

However, this also raises the issue of resources. The production of a galley requires a large amount of wood, flax and some copper, and the production time is more than ten times that of a canoe.

The Garlic Tribe had very little flax, and had to rely on gathering it in the wild, but they had plenty of wood and copper. Due to material and craftsmanship issues, the Garlic Tribe only had three galleys for a long time.

Lu Yao was not in a hurry.

After mastering the manufacturing technology of paddle boats, the next step is to continuously upgrade the manufacturing technology and collect more resources.

While the Garlic Tribe was exploring the offshore area, the East Sea Tribe, which had not appeared for a long time, came to the dock again.

They still rode in old canoes and carried traditional bows and arrows. Except for the absence of the sea monster, the women had not changed at all since they first met.

The Garlic Tribe's wharf had become quite large, with a large and sturdy paddle boat parked next to it. In comparison, their canoes looked particularly shabby.

The leading [Grandmother] said, "Friends of the Garlic Tribe, we have seen your large ships. They are very fast and very maneuverable."

"Your ship has entered the ocean and has been hovering near the coast. Sailing in the ocean is a very dangerous thing. Without the corresponding experience and technology, the ship may be destroyed and people may die at any time."

"The Donghe tribe is a branch of the Donghai clan. We have experience and skills in water navigation. This knowledge is very valuable."

"We hope to exchange [Navigation] for your [Galley] technology."

There was no immediate response from tribal leader Yuzou.

He discussed it with the astrologer Shahan and Yulian, the inventor of the galley, and then responded.

"When the prophet and the shaman were still alive, our two tribes maintained a long-term friendship. Although we had conflicts in the past, we still respected each other in the end. Many young people in the tribe are the result of the combination of the two tribes."

Yuzou said, "However, the deal you proposed is extremely unequal."

"Our galleys can enter any waters. It's only a matter of time before we master the art of navigation."

"Before that, the galleys will become more and more powerful. Until our fleet can fill the rivers and enter the sea, all the waters we reach will be within the territory of our tribe."

"But you can't build a galley."

"The population of the East River tribe continues to decline, and the Salt Pond tribe no longer appears on the river. Everything you need comes from our tribe, wood, wool, meat, potatoes, and garlic."

"You are a branch that has been abandoned by the clan. Since you can no longer give birth to sea monsters, the Donghai clan has stopped providing you with any support. You can't even return to the sea, because without the sea monster, the wind and waves will destroy the canoe."

"The Garlic Tribe has been helping you."

"As long as you join the Garlic Tribe, you will be able to master the [Gall Ship]. Then you will be able to return to the sea on these mighty ships, and you will no longer have to bow down to the Donghai clan."

"There are many ways to gain respect, but the best way is to be strong enough! Believe me, my best brothers and comrades died because of this, I understand this very well."

Yuzou's lobbying was rejected by the Donghe tribe.

They remained as stubborn as ever, and the group left in a canoe.

Just as Lu Yao was wondering whether he should give it a push himself and create a hurricane or a scorching sun, the long-accumulated internal conflicts of the Donghe tribe broke out.

On Chuandao Island, the Donghe tribe split into two factions.

The three female captains wanted to join the Garlic Tribe, but the Grandmother insisted on retaining the independence of the Donghe Tribe, and the two sides could not convince each other. So the female captains took 74 people on a canoe to the Garlic Tribe and officially integrated into the tribe.

[Grandmother] took the remaining men and drove the canoe all the way to the East China Sea, apparently wanting to return to the source of the East China Sea clan.

Lu Yao didn’t know whether they had successfully crossed the sea and returned to their hometown.

What is certain is that from this day on, the Donghe tribe will become history.

The joining of female captains brought important [navigation skills]. They also brought their own sea charts, clearing away the fog on the surrounding waters that had not yet been explored.

Lu Yao dragged the mouse and overlooked the Donghe River and the East China Sea.

Compared with the vast East China Sea, the land where the Garlic Tribe is located seems very small.

The Donghai clan's base camp is on a medium-sized island southeast of the East China Sea. However, it is full of fog, which means that the Donghe tribe has not been in contact for a long time.

It would be difficult to get all the way over there without mastering the sea routes and navigation skills.

Even if one has mastered the relevant technology, it is almost impossible to cross the sea in a canoe without the escort of sea monsters.

Lu Yao felt that the Donghe tribe that his grandmother had sent back to their homeland was most likely in exile.

But that doesn't matter.

What is important is the group of new women who have joined the tribe.

What made Lu Yao happy was that the women of the Donghe tribe showed their hidden racial talents. They had super fertility and were able to get pregnant and give birth to babies in a short time.

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

To some extent, this is the strongest ability of the tribal era! As long as the population can continue to grow, tribal civilization will eventually move to the next stage and enter a new era.

An unreasonable association popped up in Lu Yao's mind.

Perhaps, primitive tribes on Earth also had such an experience.

Some tribes are good at hunting and everyone is strong; some tribes have strong fertility; some tribes have mastered planting techniques... Different tribes have merged together in various ways, combining the advantages of each to form a new human group that can enter the next era.

…

In the simulator, Lu Yao operates in three threads.

In the castle, Isabel was still conducting mental pollution on the boss Blood Knight, waiting for an opportunity.

In the ghost town of Sanilor, ghosts are continuing to perfect the city of the dead.

In the Garlic Tribe, the Age of Navigation is quietly approaching.

All three aspects require a certain amount of time to digest and transform.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Yao minimized the simulator and prepared to find a comedy to watch and relax.

The recent series of multi-line operations has made Lu Yao very tired.

The pixel guys are trying to kill themselves everywhere, so you have to rescue them at any time.

The pixel people are just eating and waiting to die, so I have to give them a big bag to make them stand up.

This feeling can be said to be quite complicated.

God really doesn't have holidays.

Compared to me, God who works six days a week and rests one day a week is considered to be slacking off.

Before he found the movie, a message suddenly came from Isabel.

"Sir, the Timberwolves discovered a 40-member cave dwelling tribe in the mountains."

Great! It's a good time to test the actual combat strength of these Timberwolves.

As a result, Isabel's next sentence was: "Before the Timber Wolves launched an attack, they surrendered on their own initiative and were willing to become vassals of the Garlic Tribe."

Lu Yao suddenly felt lost.

Surrender without firing a shot? I don't know where these cave dwellers learned this bad habit from.
