Throne of Vientiane Civilization

According to Zhou Xu's instructions before departure, the current development of the third camp is carried out around the camp, and there is no intention to further explore outside.

However, vigilance still needs to be done well.

In this way, Ye Jinghong arranged Zhou Zhongshan on the mound outside.

At that time, Zhou Xu chose to build a camp here, largely because of the existence of this mound.

From Zhou Xu's point of view, this mound is a natural sentry tower. It doesn't even need to be rebuilt. As long as someone is placed on it, it can play the role of a sentry tower.

But now, Zhou Zhongshan was assigned by Ye Jinghong.

It has to be said that after someone is in charge of guarding and ensuring the safety around the camp, everyone can work with more peace of mind.

At present, the main energy is still focused on fishing. After all, in this era, food and safety are the two basic guarantees. Only when these two are guaranteed, can they have spare energy to do other things.

The river is quite wide, and the depth in the center of the river is estimated to be deep enough. At the same time, there is still a place that is not used to by the fishermen in the tribe.

That is, the water in the river is flowing! This is completely different from lake water.

For the fishermen who are used to fishing on the lake, the fishing environment is suddenly changed to a flowing river, and each of them is really uncomfortable.

During this period, a fisherman proposed...

"If there is a raft here, it should be much more convenient."

The width of the river was thirty to forty meters by Zhou Xu's visual estimation at the time, and the raft was basically no pressure to drive on it.

However, the production of rafts also requires a lot of wood, and the amount of wood in the grassland camp is relatively limited. If you want to make something as big as a raft, you have to wait for the wood from the Black Moon camp.

In fact, for the grassland camp, the manufacture of rafts, Zhou Xu is also more urgent.

It's not for fishing, but if they encounter a group of centaurs with four legs and bows and arrows, they really can't run away, so they can jump directly on the raft and walk by water to get rid of the pursuit.

Of course, it is also necessary to reject the horse. It will take time for you to escape on the raft, and then slide the raft away? Deploying rejecting horses on the outskirts of the camp can buy them time at critical moments.

After all, he had seen the strength of the group of centaurs, so Zhou Xu had to think more about life-threatening safety issues.

Zhou Xu stayed in the Black Moon camp for five days, and then rushed to the grassland camp with two carts full of timber.

The weight of these two carts of wood can be said to have completely exceeded the sum of the various materials they carried back at that time, but in this case, their moving efficiency has improved.

Zhou Xu let people take turns pushing and pulling the cart along the way. After being familiar with the moving route, it took only one and a half days to reach their grassland camp smoothly.

The tribe members who were busy working in the camp at that time knew they were coming, so they hurried out to help unload the goods.

During this period of time, the coachmen naturally seized the time to rest, and the camp even lit a fire to cook for them. Every coachman could enjoy a whole grilled fish for himself.

But in contrast, after eating, they had to set off immediately and return to the Black Moon Camp.

These two carts of timber, even if they are fully loaded, are not enough for the grassland camp.

So in the next few days, they might have to frantically go back and forth between the two camps to deliver wood to the grassland camp.

Even in this primitive era where everyone is a workaholic in order to survive, the workload is huge.

During the period, Zhou Xu, who had returned to the grassland camp, naturally asked Ye Jinghong and Zhou Zhongshan about the situation.

Ye Jinghong reported the situation inside the camp very neatly, and everything was normal.

"What about the group of centaurs? Have they appeared nearby recently?"

Facing this question, Ye Jinghong looked at Zhou Zhongshan and motioned him to report.

After all, during this period of time, the person in charge of standing guard was Zhou Zhongshan.

Regarding this, Zhou Zhongshan was also unambiguous, and immediately said...

"The group of centaurs did not appear nearby."

"The antelopes didn't show up either, did they?"

No matter what the group of herbivores were originally called, they were called 'antelopes' from the moment he saw them.

"Yes!"

After getting this answer, Zhou Xu immediately understood.

[Sure enough. 】

For any organism, the basic condition for survival is food.

Just like when they are looking for a camp, they will also check whether there is food around them, and the centaurs who want to come to the same creature are the same.

Taking this as a premise, judging from the situation at the time, it was clear that the group of antelopes were the main hunting targets of the centaurs.

In other words, wherever the herd of antelopes ran, those centaurs would chase them there.

The time of day is limited, facing the herd of antelopes that are moving at any time, even those centaurs probably don't have much free time to wander around.

Reasoning along this line of thought, they only need to avoid the area where wild antelope herds will appear, and they can successfully avoid the group of centaurs.

Now it turns out that his idea was not wrong.

At this stage, their tribe does not need to hunt the antelopes for a living anyway, and there is no need to expose themselves to the vision of the group of centaurs whose details are not known for the time being, because the risk is too high.

However, the precautions that should be done must be done well.

The two carts of wood sent from the Black Moon camp were not assembled.

If it is assembled into a raft or transported by horse, it will take too much space and will reduce the transport efficiency.

Anyway, the assembly itself is not difficult. After comprehensive consideration, it is the most sensible way to let the Black Moon camp directly deliver the treated wood.

The wood sent this time is divided into two types, one is sharpened at one end, and this kind of wood is used to make Juma.

The other is simply polished round wooden pillars for making rafts.

Each of the two types of wood pulled a cart over. At this moment, Zhou Xu had already started to organize the members of the tribe to get busy.

For the production of the raft and the horse, the work on both sides started directly at the same time.

During this period, Zhou Xu's main energy was still on Juma's side.

After all, they have already made several rafts in the Black Moon camp, and most of the fishermen in the tribe have already mastered some of the skills in them.

At most, after they were finished, he would go and check it a little bit.

But it was the first time for them to do this thing of rejecting horses. If Zhou Xu didn't care about it, they might not be able to build it on their own.

But after Zhou Xu joined, it became easy.

Now that the wood has been polished, they only need to follow Zhou Xu's instructions and tie the wood with bark rope to fix it.

The production of Juma still costs a lot of wood, and a cart of wood is enough to make one.

As for the location of the placement, there is not much emphasis on it.

The current defensive deployment of their camp, to put it bluntly, is leaking from all sides, and there are problems everywhere. As long as there is only one refusal horse, it is basically the same everywhere.
