I've only written so much today. I have to go to the hospital to deliver food to my father in the evening. Sorry——————————————- The next morning, when Damon and his party got up, Fangzu
Some women came to see off their "lover", and of course there were also women who really used men as tools. They just watched Damon and others getting up and leaving from a distance, coldly and without any expression.
Chief Qiu Enpi didn't bother Zhou Jiping any more. He just sent Damon and his party away so far away. He also told Zhou Jiping and others to take this road when they came back. They hoped to learn from the Damon people.
In exchange for enough, the most precious resource in the forest - salt
"She is a girl." After seeing that they were far away, Kundala said to Zhou Jiping
"Oh?" Zhou Jiping didn't understand.
"For the tribe where the Fang people come out to camp, only the girl who comes out for the first time is the chief," Kundala explained.
Zhou Jiping nodded, noncommittal. For him, the purpose of this trip was salt and diamonds, and everything else had nothing to do with him.
Under the familiar leadership of Pygmy Hunter, Damon and his team walked quite fast. Some Damon warriors had consumed a lot of energy last night, and now they seemed a little overwhelmed walking all the way, which made the warriors listless and exhausted.
, I complained all the way that the short Pygmy hunter was walking so fast because he was jealous because he was not selected last night.
The group of people chatted happily and hurried on, and it didn't seem boring at all. At noon, people saw several bare stone mountains from a distance - the Pygmies could only send them here and said goodbye politely.
Pygmy Hunters, under the leadership of Duca and Kundala, Damon and his party began the most difficult part of the journey, crossing the Dry Stone Mountain
Since it is called Dry Stone Mountain, it is why it is called Dry Stone Mountain. On these mountains, except for some trees in the valleys, only very few plants grow on most of the mountains. A few bare hills are almost all here. According to Kongda
Wizard La said that these mountain ridges are the only nearby passages to the sea. More importantly, only from here can you find the valleys that produce salt.
It wasn't until he climbed over the mountains in front of him that Zhou Jiping realized why the other tribes didn't go to the beach to get salt by themselves - the road here was too difficult to walk, and it was really difficult for other tribes to climb these mountains with bare hands.
The rocks on the mountain are very big, and everyone in Damon must line up in a line to go up the mountain. The people in front will pass the spear shafts to the people behind from time to time, so that the people behind can use their strength to climb up - this kind of road is difficult for the short Pygmi.
Don't even think about climbing up even if you risk your life
Zhou Jiping learned from Duka: The hard rocks and sharp stone edges of Dry Stone Mountain are also one of the reasons why the barefoot tribesmen are deterred from the mountain. In the past, when Damon walked here, he would have to wrap his feet.
You can only start climbing by wearing animal skins. Now that the tribe has straw sandals lined with animal skins, walking on this road is much easier than in previous years. As for this road leading to the sea, Damon kept it secret from the grassland tribes.
There is no need to keep it secret from the tribes in the rain forest, because the people in the rain forest are much shorter in stature, and their physical fitness and physical conditions cannot support them to climb this mountain ridge.
Along the way, Kundala and Duka were the ones leading the way. It was obvious that they were very familiar with this area. They knew exactly where to go and where to go with less effort. They could see it from time to time on the road.
The dead bones lying in the cracks between the rocks are the people who died here before. Their bodies have been disposed of by vultures, leaving only some white bones lying here forever.
Climbing over the mountain ridge consumes a lot of energy. The field platoon soldiers who had just been chatting happily gradually stopped talking. The only sound left was the heavy breathing of people in front and behind the team.
There were four mountain ridges in total. The section of grassland and rainforest didn't take much time in total. However, the four mountain ridges leading to the sea took Damon and his party three days. They stayed in the mountains at night.
, the Damon warriors also had to insert their spears into the cracks in the rocks around them, otherwise they would roll down the uneven rocks if they turned over at night.
The road will have an end. After several days of hard trekking, and after almost exhausting all the dry food and drinking water prepared in advance, everyone finally climbed the last mountain ridge - the sea, right in front of them.
Standing on a high mountain ridge, looking down at the azure sea, feeling the sea's bosom and broadness, Zhou Jiping suddenly had the urge to jump off the mountain - on the other side of the sea was his dreaming hometown.
ah
Seeing the sea in front of them, other tribal warriors were also very excited, because it meant that they no longer had to sleep on the hard rocks tonight, and they did not have to worry about food at night. After walking down the mountain road in the past few days, everyone was excited.
It's exhausting
Among the rocks a few hundred meters away from the sea, Duka led people to find a spring. This is the only place where people can replenish fresh water.
That night, people rested by the spring. At this time, people's food had been completely consumed, but there was no need to worry about Zhou Jiping. Duka said that there would be enough food to replenish it tomorrow.
Early the next morning, led by the wizard Kundala, people came to the beach
Watching Duka directing people to weave a large rough net, ready to go into the sea to fish at any time, Zhou Jiping was already petrified - can fishing be done with such a net? This net was brought from the tribe, not only
The mesh is thick and broken in many places. Zhou Jiping does not believe that fishing can be done with such a net, unless the fish are willing to jump into the net on their own.
But what happened next surprised Zhou Jiping even more - the fish really jumped into the net
The wizard Kundala lit a bonfire at the beach, and then recited a spell toward the sea in a serious manner. Then, several tribal warriors who were "topped" by Kundala walked towards the sea with spears in their hands.
Standing in the sea water, several warriors raised their spears and struck at the sea water. The sound of slap, slap, slap... was endless - what was this doing? Didn't this drive the fish away?
In less than ten minutes, a scene that shocked Zhou Jiping appeared - many black crescent-shaped dorsal fins suddenly appeared on the sea! After a while, the owners of these dorsal fins appeared, and they jumped out of the water -
It's a dolphin!
What surprised Zhou Jiping was what happened next. These dolphins that suddenly appeared were not afraid of people at all. On the contrary, they seemed to have made an appointment with Damon and the others. They kept jumping out of the water to say hello. Then, more dolphins began to emerge from the depths of the sea.
Slowly approaching the coast on Damon's side, they kept swimming up and down, jumping out of the water and splashing water...
At this time, several tribal warriors carried the shabby big net into the sea. They dropped a few small stones in the net so that the net could always sink to the bottom of the sea, and then slowly walked into the sea.
