Chapter 38 Worth the Trip
"Zhou Chongshan..."
While muttering his new name silently, Dashan showed a bright smile on his face.
"Thank you, Chief! From now on, I will be called Zhou Chongshan!"
In this primitive era, they basically named their names after mountains, rivers, birds and beasts. Under this premise, anyone can feel the extraordinary nature of this name.
For a moment, the tribal members who came along looked at the mountain with an envy that they could not conceal.
"Okay, let's go inside and take a look."
"yes!"
At this time, Zhou Chongshan, who had just got a new name, was in an excited state and directly acted as the pioneer for Zhou Xu.
Their tribe is located on a plain.
After walking a few steps, relying on Zhou Xu's eyesight, he soon saw the other side's tribal camp.
The size is similar to their tribe. Both of their tribes are small tribes of limited size.
In fact, in this era, due to the influence of food, the size of most tribes was not very large.
If you want to expand further, you must obtain more and more stable food.
To achieve this, they must start the farming era! Of course, to achieve this, they still have many problems to overcome. Farming has indeed been included in Zhou Xu's plan, but in order to officially implement it, he still has many problems to overcome.
For example, what to plant?
Don't forget, they don't have any food seeds now.
In other words, nothing can be grown.
After driving straight ahead all the way, Zhou Xu and his party soon arrived at the tribal camp.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded in Zhou Xu's mind...
System prompt: Congratulations to 'Zhou Xu' for occupying the Black Moon Camp.
The appearance of the system prompt did not surprise Zhou Xu. His energy now was more focused on observing this tribe.
As a primitive tribe with time travelers, they have mastered the technology of artificial fire making, which is basic.
At the same time, Zhou Xu could also see that, unsurprisingly, they also possessed some basic stone tools.
Come to think of it, their door panels and large shields should have been made based on stone tools.
However, Zhou Xu was not very interested in these things. What he was most concerned about now was...
"Daishi, where is the nearby water source? How do we solve the food problem?"
In this era, tribal camps must be built near water sources. After all, without stable access to fresh water, they simply cannot survive, and the same goes for food.
At this moment, facing Zhou Xu's question, Dashi didn't waste any words and directly led him out of the camp.
"There is a lake not far from our camp. The water in the lake is drinkable. As for food, we mainly rely on fishing. In addition, we also do hunting."
Zhou Xu was not surprised at all when he heard the word "fishing" from Dashi.
After all, the former leader was a time traveler. Compared with the grassland animals whose whereabouts were uncertain and difficult to capture, the fish in this lake were undoubtedly more convenient for them to target.
As he was speaking, a lake in the distance appeared before his eyes.
At first glance, the lake was about the same size as the saltwater lake in their camp.
There were two very simple-looking rafts docked on the lakeside, and several wooden racks were set up on the shore. On one of the racks, a large net was being dried in the sun.
Walking to the big net, Zhou Xu rubbed the net rope with his fingers, feeling the texture of the net rope.
Dashi, who was standing by, saw this and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Zhou Xu's voice.
"You take those rafts to the lake and use these fishing nets to catch the fish in the lake. These fishing nets are woven with straw ropes. I know all this, so you don't need to explain it to me."
Ignoring Dashi who was already dumbfounded, Zhou Xu continued talking to himself.
"Your fishing net is so poorly made. There are problems with the weaving and knotting methods. Each net mouth is loose. It's probably because the fish in this lake are big enough, otherwise you would only catch air with this fishing net."
Having said that, Zhou Xu turned around and glanced at Dashi, whose face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"I'll get you a better one later."
“…”
At this moment, Dashi has fully realized that these objects, which are amazing to them, are ordinary and even a bit rotten in the eyes of their new leader...
Overall, Zhou Xu was in a pretty good mood at this moment.
There is a freshwater lake. While completely solving the freshwater problem, the fish resources in the lake also solved part of the food problem. Just for this lake, the trip was worthwhile.
"Come on, take me to the altar."
Five people were left to guard the Black Moon Camp. Zhou Chongshan was called upon to leave, and Dashi was asked to lead the way. Before the sun set, the group quickly headed towards the altar.
The altar was quite a distance away from the Black Moon Camp. After arriving there, Zhou Xu looked at the ruins and without further ado, he directly activated the 'Eye of Insight'.
After a careful look, Zhou Xu found nothing and was obviously still a little unwilling to accept it, so he went up and moved away some rubble and looked inside a few more times.
However, the result was the same as before.
Judging from the situation, it was most likely a wasted trip, which made Zhou Xu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"By the way, Dashi, you said he found the truth on the grassland. Where exactly is it? Is it close to here?"
Although Dashi didn't know what their new leader was doing from the beginning, he still answered the questions very straightforwardly and positively.
"Not far, just around here."
"Lead the way."
According to Dashi's words, it was indeed not far from here. Zhou Xu estimated that he had walked less than a kilometer and soon arrived at the grassland that Dashi mentioned.
"It was right here! Yes, it was right here. I remember this stone!"
Dashi ran to a large stone and after looking left and right, he confirmed it completely.
"At that time, there was a skeleton leaning against this stone. The former leader discovered the truth from this skeleton."
Through Dashi's simple description, Zhou Xu had a general understanding of what the situation was at that time.
That skeleton should be the original owner of the mantra.
"What about the skeleton?"
"At that time, the former leader used the power of mantra to make the skeleton move. There are many skeletons on this grassland. The skeletons he used were basically found here. That skeleton was also among them, but I don't know which one it was."
Listening to Dashi's words, Zhou Xu, who was half-squatting in front of the stone and looking at it, nodded slightly.
After brushing off the dust on the stone, he could still tell that the stone in front of him, although it had been eroded by time and wind and rain, was definitely not a natural stone. It was more like a broken wall! Updated, thanks to the book friend 'Hua Ge's Little World' for the reward!
