In fact, there are still many species of large freshwater fish in the world. It’s just that in the past, they were overfished, causing many large river fish to be on the verge of extinction or have already become extinct.
For example, giant catfish, stingrays, gars, carp, salmon, sturgeons and other freshwater fish species that grow to two meters in length and weigh up to one hundred kilograms. Perhaps in the ancient primitive world, there were more such giant freshwater fish species.
For example, the large freshwater fish discovered this time weighed only about 100 kilograms, which doesn't seem surprising.
The river's edges are fine, but as you wade about ten meters toward the center, the depth gradually increases. Someone accidentally got swept into the depths and drowned. A river that can support such large freshwater fish must be both deep and wide enough. As for why some of these large fish prefer to hang out near the river, perhaps it's because there are aquatic plants and other things they like to eat.
The river flows eastward, so it should flow into the sea. Perhaps, with such a wide and vast river, only navy ships can enter?
Even in the past, there were only two super rivers like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in my country.
The south side of this great river seemed impassable without a boat. Ma Yue roughly concluded that this great river must be south of Xi'an. Otherwise, if it passed through Xi'an, it would be impossible for the river to suddenly become so small, right?
The size of a river is relative. There are large rivers that are navigable, but this is the first time that Ma Yue has seen such a vast river since he traveled to this primitive world.
Ma Yue became more and more interested in exploring this great river.
After waiting for about half a day, the water bug came back.
There are many chiefs in this indigenous tribe, most of whom are similar to the indigenous elders' council. Ma Yue couldn't understand what the big chief was saying, but Shuichong could understand the general idea.
The basins of large rivers must have been early gathering places for humans, and this place seems to be no exception.
It wasn't the Grass Carp Tribe (a homophone, let's call it that for now) that attacked the Sea Tribe. There was more than one tribe in this area, and even the leaders of the Grass Carp Tribe didn't know how many people there were, not even knowing how many.
Further west, there is a powerful indigenous tribe, which we will temporarily call the Fathead Fish Tribe. As for how powerful the Fathead Fish Tribe was, the first people to know about it were probably in the Stone Age.
Given the supposedly powerful Fathead Fish Tribe, where did they get their copper weapons? They must have been supported by some foreign tribe. Otherwise, even with thousands of people, attacking the Sea Tribe village wouldn't be easy without their weapons.
The many tribes in this area, both large and small, were all gathered on this side of the river. Apparently, there were no boats traveling the other side. Whether there were any, the many leaders of the Grass Carp Tribe hadn't seen any. Perhaps there were boats traveling the Fathead Fish Tribe's side, but the Grass Carp Tribe was unaware of them.
How far is it? It takes about ten days to walk from here to the Fathead Fish Tribe, so it doesn't seem too far.
In fact, there are some indigenous tribes in the forest further north, but they are not large. The people of the Grass Carp Tribe cannot say exactly how many indigenous tribes there are in this area. They cannot count, let alone understand the meaning of units such as hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands.
Ma Yue asked, what is the basis for the survival of the tribes here?
Grazing! What are they grazing? Rabbits! Interesting, right? Actually, it's not really grazing, it's captive breeding, more like farming. Shuichong gestured, "The rabbits in the Grass Carp Tribe are huge, some weighing a hundred pounds."
Wow! The fish and rabbits in this area are big.
It's not like there aren't large rabbits. In my past life, I've seen rabbits on the internet weighing as much as 40 or 50 kilograms. This is a primitive world, a more pristine environment, so perhaps even larger rabbits exist.
Raising large rabbits and catching large fish is the ecological environment of many tribes in this area. Perhaps the people here wear rabbit skins. It's not like there's no winter here, but fur coats are a necessity.
Where do they live in winter? Shuichong said that the chiefs of the Grass Carp Tribe live in a huge underground cave. There are many underground caves, which can provide some shelter from the cold in winter.
Listening to Shuichong's description, the only pity is that this is not a large plain. It looks quite large, and when you ride a donkey to gallop out, it is actually not that big. In other words, this place is not suitable for farming.
The population of the Hai tribe is too large, and a small piece of arable land is of little significance to the Hai tribe.
So, all that remains is to go to the Fathead Fish Tribe and find out who attacked the Sea Tribe village.
Let's go! Ma Yue followed the cavalry and started a new journey.
Marching along the river, there was no shortage of food. We could catch some big fish, more or less. Of course, as for salt, we could only eat it once every three days, perhaps before a battle.
The large cavalry group had brought a lot of salt with them, but it was limited. Furthermore, they had already been out for so many days. Ma Yue had quite a bit of salt in his space bag, but it was simply not enough to supply an army of two thousand.
Along the way, in some of the areas we passed through, the river banks were mostly forests, which allowed cavalry to pass through, but the width was no longer suitable for cavalry combat.
The only consolation was that there was grass for the donkeys to eat along the way. Otherwise, if the donkeys starved to death, what would the cavalry be? To save food along the way, the two thousand cavalrymen almost lived a life of fishing and hunting. They tried their best to feed the donkeys with the leftover cornmeal, so that the donkeys could continue the march.
Fortunately, cavalry always moves faster than people, and within five or six days, a large tribe gathering place appeared. This place is probably the Fathead Fish Tribe.
