The next day, Wu Qi, Chun Wu, and Xia Wu set out with a hundred deer cavalrymen (a total of two hundred deer). Finding the way home was a big deal, so they had to be cautious.
"Charlatan, are we all going home?" asked the old priest.
"This is what I think. There's no point in staying here. We lack everything." Ma Yue said. If the most important seasoning, green onions, is not available, then everything we eat will have no taste, right?
"When are you leaving?" The old priest had no opinion on whether to leave or not. He had already completely returned to the Xinhai tribe.
"There's a lot to prepare. When can we find that coastline? Most importantly, with so many of us, we don't have enough boats... So, we still need to plan a smooth evacuation. Spring plowing will probably be over in about a month... Let's wait and see what Wu Qi and his team come back with."
Spring plowing can be carried out without delay, but can it wait until summer harvest? Not necessarily. If there is no summer harvest, what is the point of spring plowing?
"It would be best if we could first move to that coastal spot and produce salt and build ships." White Eagle's ideals were ambitious, but what about the reality? Was that coastal spot suitable for living? For salt production? For farming? There were many questions.
This time, Wu Qi, Chun Wu and Xia Wu went to explore the route, and they also needed to conduct a careful investigation.
The terrain of the coastline is very complicated. Not to mention the cliffs, if you encounter a mountain blocking the way, you will have to take a long detour... If you go around the mountain and miss the coast point, it will be troublesome.
However, Wu Qi, who was rowing along the coastline all the way, remembered very clearly that there were no mountains on the way here. He hoped.
"So, the situation is unclear, so let's just do what we have to do."
Okay! Since the boss said so, let's continue. Especially the salt, is it easy to take it away? Salt is valuable no matter where you go.
Ma Yue's worries proved to be well-founded. The Haifan tribe had already finished their spring plowing, and Wu Qi and his men hadn't returned from their explorations. How could they even migrate? The Deer Cavalry had already been on the move for almost two months. If this large group were to migrate on foot... what a joke!
If you don’t migrate back home, will you still stay here?
If I leave, who will be able to control the situation? This is a region that believes in miracles. Leaving Lei Qing behind? That's too disloyal, isn't it?
Ma Yue was confused again.
"Fairy, something happened!" Chun Wu and Xia Wu took people to explore the way. The Haifan tribe remained the same, so long-range scouts were indispensable, led by Hai Dao.
"What's wrong?" Ma Yue was feeling upset.
"The Great Forest Blue Tribe controlled by the Thunder God Tribe was captured by the army. The Thunder God Tribe has lost control of that area."
Oh my god! This is really a big deal.
The Thunder God Tribe is too far away from the Blue Tribe's area, so is it easy to control?
"Ice Eye Tribe? Or Qingfeng Tribe?" Ma Yue asked quickly.
"God of war, I've found out clearly that it's not a big tribe like ours."
Ah! Could it be that there are other large tribes in the big forest not far from the Blue Tribe?
"Our scouts have gone deep into the forest to investigate new trends. New intelligence will be sent to us in a timely manner." Hai Dao's arrangement was reasonable. The salt mountain and spirit stone mine over there were very eye-catching.
It's a mess.
The second group of scouts came back to report that the Thunder God Tribe was gathering troops and was about to attack back to the southern forest.
Go ahead and make a fuss. Whoever occupies the Blue Tribe’s base will not benefit from it.
Summer fog is back.
"How is it?" This is what Ma Yue cares about most.
"Goddammit, the first half month was fine, but after that the road became really difficult to walk on. Many times, we had to dismount and walk. There was one canyon where we had to climb up with great difficulty, and only one soldier had the chance to climb up using the rope. The deer couldn't get up at all..."
Actually, the journey wasn't too far, but it was full of bumps and ravines. After crossing the cliffs of the canyon, it took less than two days of walking before we came to a river several dozen meters wide. The current was extremely turbulent, and several soldiers who were good swimmers were washed away by the flood. At least we managed to get one end of the rope to the other side...
Because the ropes had been connected, it was a little easier when we came back.
Because the deer couldn't cross, the original plan of the deer cavalry to continue northward and search for the chair fleet along the coast was also ruined. Relying on foot alone? I'm afraid they will never be able to catch up with the chair fleet heading north in this lifetime.
It seems that a large-scale migration to the north is not advisable at all. If you are physically weak, you will not be able to climb the cliff even with a rope.
"The rest of the people stayed there?"
"Well, Wu Qi and Chun Wu will take fifty strong men to stay at the coast to build a boat. Whether we can really go back, we need to try rowing again!" The three of them made a safe decision. Although they rowed to the shore when they came, it was the sea. If they were not careful...
If we stayed at that coastal spot, we would have to rely on fishing and hunting for a living. Fortunately, they were all able-bodied men with strong survival abilities, and most of them had experience in hunting teams.
Xia Wu briefly explained the situation there. He explained that there were rivers flowing into the sea, which was a good thing. Those staying on the coast could catch fish and so on. He also mentioned that they were running low on salt, but that wasn't a problem. They'd already prepared for the camp there and brought plenty of ceramic plates with them, so they could boil their own salt.
According to Xia Wu's description, that coastal spot seemed suitable for human farming and animal husbandry. Of course, this was a primitive world, and human settlements were only a small part of it. Most of it was uninhabited, which was normal.
Of course, without other tribes, the isolated Haifan tribe could develop on its own, without even basic exchange. How could it possibly survive? Because of the cliffs and canyons, even deer couldn't pass through. Relying on their own two feet for everything was too inconvenient.
