Although most of the tribes along the river were damaged by the natural disaster, and many of them were directly wiped out, there were still some survivors who continued to live along the river. Not every tribe had the courage to move. Even though this place had been affected by the disaster, they were still unwilling to move.
That was why when the Yanjiao people carried a large stone tablet with the name "Flaming River" on it and erected it along the river, many people saw it.
It was also the first time they saw someone naming a river that wasn't part of their territory.
Perhaps some people would still be unhappy but the Yanjiao people weren't afraid. If they knew who changed the name again, they would go over and have a chat.
Reason? No, there was no such thing as reason here. At times like this, it all depended on strength. Only the strong had the right to speak. In this area, no one dared to fight the Yanjiao directly.
Knowing that the name of the Flaming River had started to spread around the river, the two shamans' faces became even more wrinkled. They smiled all day and even became addicted to naming things. They thought about naming the man-made lake, the mountains in the tribe, the boats … Because of the name debate, the two shamans started arguing again.
However, the others didn't care about naming things. The people from the other side of the sea still had the habit of stocking up at the end of the year to trade. After arriving here, they stocked up on hides. Other than their daily necessities, they wanted to let the expedition team trade them.
Even though there wasn't the Royal City or any other cities here, many tribes had their own unique skills. Others couldn't learn them even if they wanted to. It depended on talent. They could also trade for many good things at the trading point.
The boats were almost finished. With the addition of bronze wares, many stone and bone wares could be replaced by metal wares. They were close to the forest so it was easier to get wood. They also had experience in building boats. When they were in the Fearsome Beast Forest, the Longboat tribe had given them boats. Even though the boats were destroyed by the disaster, some of the craftsmen had figured out many techniques from the boats.
Even though the boats they built couldn't compare to the Longboat tribe in many aspects, they had good materials, good wood, good metal wares and Shao Xuan's creative ideas. The boats they built this time were much better than the ones the tribe took when they left this place.
The tunnel from the man-made lake to the Flaming River was already dug. They were just waiting for the ship to be built and the gates to be opened.
Beside the artificial lake, the green duck was still leisurely swimming around with its second generation ducks. Even the noise of the boat building did not scare them away. Sometimes, they would even come closer to watch curiously.
After a few days, the green duck was no longer as skinny as it was during the migration. It had gained a lot of weight, and it was not far from the size Shao Xuan was familiar with. It wasn't just the green duck. Its second generation ducks were also much more energetic. Their rejection of the tribesmen had lessened a lot. They would even step on the duck's feet to beg for food when they saw someone feeding them.
Yes, begging for food!
The second generation ducks had inherited their father's shamelessness and shamelessness. Since the living conditions here were so good, and there were people to protect and feed them, and they had a place to stay. They did not have to suffer from the cold or the rain, and there were no natural enemies to threaten them, they decided to stay here with their father. Three days ago, when they saw a flock of birds passing by, they only raised their heads to take a look and didn't seem to want to fly away.
Shao Xuan carried a huge tree to the lake. It was brought back by the people who went out to look for trees. He helped to carry it.
"How is it? How many more days do we need?" Shao Xuan looked at the completed boat and asked the craftsmen there.
"We'll be done in two days. We'll test the completed boat in the river tomorrow," said one of the craftsmen.
After knowing the progress of the boat building, Shao Xuan did not want to delay them any longer. He put down the tree and prepared to leave. When he reached the river, he saw the people who took care of the duck shed coming over to feed the ducks. The ducks that were originally lined up to watch the craftsmen build the boat flapped their wings and rushed over. Some of them even started fighting.
Ever since the tribe started feeding the ducks, the ducks had become lazier. Now, other than when they were fighting for food, they rarely flew. He wondered if they would still be able to fly when they became as fat as balls.
Shao Xuan went over to ask about the ducks.
"They're doing well. They're easier to raise than when we were in the other tribe. I just have to take care of the one in the lead. The other green ducks will follow it." The person who was feeding the ducks smiled. "It's just a pity that we haven't seen any eggs yet."
"It's still too early to see any eggs."
Shao Xuan went to the field to take a look. When he came back, the ducks had finished eating. The fat duck swayed from side to side as it walked, but it looked lazy and lazy.
Seeing Shao Xuan walk over, the fat duck only glanced at Shao Xuan, then decided to find a place to squat.
Shao Xuan went over to check the food trough. There was still some food left. According to the person who made the food, it was some crushed herbs. The ducks could eat it, but they didn't like it. The herbs were useful for the ducks. In the past, sick ducks would eat the herbs themselves, so the person who took care of the duck shed added them in.
In the first few days, the ducks didn't care whether they liked it or not. They ate everything. Now, they gradually learned to be picky. They ate what they liked first, then came back to eat the rest when they were hungry. If they weren't hungry, they wouldn't eat.
Shao Xuan looked at the fat duck that was looking for a place to rest. "Tsk, look at how spoiled you are. Why don't you go to the sky?"
But just as Shao Xuan finished speaking, the fat duck really flew up.
It wasn't just the fat duck. The other second generation ducks also took off. Whether they were swimming in the lake or hiding in the grass, they all flapped their wings and took off.
Shao Xuan: "…" Did they really go to the sky?
Were they planning to leave?
But soon, Shao Xuan knew that the ducks weren't leaving. After they flew high, they rested on the trees and looked at the sky.
The sky?
What was there?
Shao Xuan looked over. Soon, he heard the whistle from the guard in the tower.
"There's something in the sky!"
Shao Xuan looked around and found a tall tree to climb.
In the sky, a flock of black figures flew over.
"It's a flock of birds!"
They weren't that surprised to see flocks of birds anymore.
But this time, it was different. When the flock of birds flew past the tribe, the green ducks and their second generation ducks followed. Just as Shao Xuan thought that they were going to escape, the fat duck stopped and quacked loudly in the direction of the flock of birds.
In an instant, other than the cries of the flock of birds in the distance, the only sounds in the sky were the strange cries of the green ducks.
Shao Xuan's eyes widened. He saw some birds leave the flock and fly over.
Wild ducks!
"F * ck!"
These fat ducks were really good at attracting wild ducks!
