The water was sparkling, and a long river that looked like a jade belt was embedded in the plains, meandering into the distance.
This was a source of life. Everywhere it passed, one could see many desolate beasts, ferocious beasts, wild beasts, and even humans appearing by the river.
The people of the Snake Tribe were trying to catch fish with harpoons by the river. They stopped immediately when they saw Ye Xuan coming with the Shaman. Then they knelt on the ground devoutly and shouted. "God! God! "
Ye Xuan gently waved his hand and helped the people of the Snake Tribe up. Then, he stood at the side and quietly watched them catch fish.
The way the people of the Snake Tribe caught fish was very primitive. They would first stand by the river and watch the fish flow under the clear water. Then, they would quickly stab the fish with their harpoons.
To be honest, this was very inefficient because water could refract light. You might see a fish on the shore, but when you stab the harpoon, you would find that the fish was not there at all.
As for why they didn't go into the water to catch fish, Ye Xuan knew a little from the Shamaness' memory. It was mainly because the river was dangerous.
Although the river did not look wide, and the current was not too rapid, the fish in the river were different from what they were now. Ye Xuan walked to the side and looked at the fish that had been caught. When he opened its mouth, he could see that the fish had sharp teeth.
It looked like a piranha, but its teeth were sharper than a piranha's, and it was more aggressive.
Generally speaking, piranhas wouldn't attack people randomly. They were like sharks in the sea. They would only attack when they smelled blood.
However, the fish here were more aggressive than piranhas. Even if there were no wounds on their bodies, they would still be attacked when they entered the water.
In addition, there were some unknown dangers in the river that were even more terrifying than the fish.
Fortunately, the fish in the river were not small. Each of them seemed to weigh at least two to three kilograms. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the snake tribesmen to catch a fish with their accuracy, as they would have needed dozens of stabs to hit the fish.
After watching the people of the Snake Tribe catch fish for a while, Ye Xuan walked to the river and made a hand sign with his right hand. Then, he waved his hand in the water.
Whoosh!
The originally calm river suddenly surged. Then, as if they had been fitted with wings, large fishes flew out of the river and landed on the shore like rain. Soon, they covered the entire shore.
Looking at this miraculous scene, the people of the snake tribe opened their mouths wide in shock. Then, they shouted excitedly and reverently, "God! God! God!!! "
Although there were only a dozen people, their voices resounded through the sky.
Ye Xuan smiled and waved at the crowd. Then, he asked the Shamaness to arrange for people to catch all the fish. With these fish, the people in the Snake Tribe would not starve for the next few days.
While the Shaman was arranging for the members of the Snake Tribe, who were so happy that their teeth almost fell off, to pick up the fish, Ye Xuan held Moon's hand and walked slowly back to the Snake Tribe's settlement.
The people of the Snake Tribe were indeed very excited, but Ye Xuan didn't care about it. Instead, he had more ideas.
As the saying went, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime!
Even though this was just a piece of cake for him, he couldn't spend so much effort on the food of the entire snake tribe every day. The most important thing was to teach them a simpler way to obtain food and even help them become stronger.
After a while, Ye Xuan and Moon returned to the settlement of the snake tribe. The deeds of him killing two giant wolves had already been known by the people of the Snake Tribe. The people of the Snake Tribe looked at him with even more reverence.
Ye Xuan didn't care about the attitude of the people of the Snake Tribe towards him. After returning to the Snake Tribe, he began to search among some withered grass stored in the tribe's settlement.
The Snake Tribe had a special place to store withered grass and firewood. Not to mention firewood, withered grass could not only be used as firewood, but it could also be used as a bed to sleep on. It could also be used to weave straw shoes, straw ropes, etc. It had many magical uses.
"Xuan, what are you looking for?" Moon, who had been following beside Ye Xuan, couldn't help but ask when she saw Ye Xuan searching in the pile of withered grass.
"I'm looking for some relatively tough grass or vines!" Ye Xuan answered casually.
Although Moon didn't understand some of the words in Ye Xuan's words, she could still understand most of them. After thinking for a while, she searched in the pile of withered grass and took a handful of withered grass. "Look, is this what Xuan is looking for?"
Looking at the withered grass in Moon's hand, Ye Xuan smiled at her. Then he took the withered grass from her hand and tested its toughness with his hand. He felt it was much stronger than ordinary withered grass. He could not help but nod slightly. He said to Moon, "Can you help me find more of this grass?" "Yes, Moon, Moon.
"Of course!" Moon smiled and nodded. Although she didn't know what Ye Xuan wanted this grass for, she still agreed. Then, she went to the side and called two female tribesmen to start searching in the pile of withered grass.
Ye Xuan didn't follow them. Instead, he took the kind of grass that he got from Moon and started knitting.
Yes, he was knitting because he planned to make a fishing net. With a fishing net, it would be easier for the people of the Snake Tribe to catch fish in the future.
Ye Xuan hadn't learned knitting, nor had he made a fishing net before. However, this wasn't a problem for him. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, wouldn't he have seen a pig run?
He first took out three of the withered grass, intertwined them, and weaved them into a straw rope that was about a centimeter in diameter.
After testing the toughness of the newly knitted straw rope, Ye Xuan was quite satisfied. He roughly estimated that this straw rope should be able to lift a weight of six to seven kilograms. It seemed that this kind of grass was indeed quite tough.
While Ye Xuan was tying a knot between the remaining grass root and another grass to continue weaving, Moon had come over with the two female clansmen she had called earlier, holding two piles of withered grass that were exactly the same as the one in his hand.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was quite happy. It seemed that this kind of withered grass should be more common around the Snake Tribe.
This was good as well. Then, his plan would be easier.
After Moon and the other two put down the withered grass, Ye Xuan asked the three of them to come over. Then, he personally taught them how to knit this kind of straw rope and how to tie the knots in the middle of the grass.
After teaching them, he asked Moon to call another 10 tribesmen over. After everyone had learned how to knit the straw rope, he asked everyone to start knitting the straw rope.
With the help of 10 people, the speed of knitting the straw rope suddenly increased. As the tribesmen became proficient, the speed became faster and faster.
As for Ye Xuan, he went to get some slender and sturdy wooden sticks. First, he used the straw rope to tie the wooden sticks together to make a frame about two meters wide, one meter high, and two meters long. Finally, he used the straw rope to bind and weave the frame. After a while, a fishnet that looked like a ground cage net was born in his hands!
