The boat was tied to a wooden stake next to the pontoon. The water here was only shallow and would not affect the boat at all.
The rope that was originally lying across the water was sunk back into the water.
Song Yang then discovered that the vine was actually alive. It was made up of several vines connected together, with its roots between the stones. This kind of growth ensured that the vine had sufficient toughness.
The vines soaked in water have enough vitality to last for a long time and may even grow thicker.
There was a rumbling flood under my feet.
If you are afraid of heights, you will feel dizzy standing here.
Song Yang tried his best not to look at the situation below and walked to the other side of the floating bridge.
Anda and the four blood warriors followed.
Their faces were pale, and it seemed that they had not experienced any psychological changes at all just now.
The muddy water on the ground made Song Yang stand very uncomfortably.
He had long since thrown away his worn-out sneakers and replaced them with a pair of cowhide boots he had made himself.
Cowhide boots are comfortable to wear, but when they get stained with mud or water, they will become soft and absorb water, making a puffing sound, like farting.
Herriman came over.
She held a rosary in her hand and waved to Song Yang to go into the tent.
After entering it, the moisture becomes very weak.
A bonfire was burning, making the tent very dry.
Song Yang said: "The gathering place found by the Flower Snake Tribe is very good."
Herriman said: "This is the place where we have been passed down for hundreds of years. During the process of my tribe's reproduction, we have experienced 60 floods and it has remained safe and sound."
If the rainfall lasts for 60 times every three or four years, it will be more than 200 years.
This inheritance has lasted more than a hundred years longer than that of the Sharp Fang Tribe, and several decades earlier than that of the Asahi Tribe!
Herriman continued, "The magic warriors have come from afar, so eat something first."
Several tribal women came over, carrying many wooden plates with roasted meat and some fruits on them.
Song Yang picked up the fruit and ate it, and found it very sweet.
Anda and the others were curiously tilting their heads at the wooden plates in front of them and marveling at them, which made Song Yang feel embarrassed.
He said, "Eat, what are you looking at?"
Anda ate quickly.
At this time, Herriman smiled and said, "These wooden plates are made from wood collected by our tribe. If you like them, you can take them."
Song Yang said, "Stop talking so politely. I don't think you asked me to come here just to eat. You said there is a magical beast that can walk on the water. Tell me about it. I intercepted a small boat in the flood. It should be related to the so-called monster you mentioned."
Herriman's eyes flickered and he said, "Yes, I saw the boat you were driving. It belonged to those people, but they had a behemoth that was dozens of times bigger than this one!"
Dozens of times
Song Yang was surprised.
A small wooden boat can carry more than a dozen people, so a boat dozens of times larger can carry hundreds of people.
That kind of ship is almost comparable to a small tribe!
Herriman said: "At the westernmost end of the wilderness, there is a big lake. There is a tribe there that is much larger than the Flower Snake Tribe. They are called the Water Wave Tribe. They live by the lake and make a living by fishing."
Song Yang listened carefully.
He could feel that this Herriman knew a lot about the people who appeared in the wilderness in a boat!
The name of this Shuitao tribe sounds like it is related to water.
Herriman continued, “The Shuitao tribe lived by the lake and had strong boat-building skills. During every rainy season, they would sail eastward, robbing the tribes along the way of their food and population, and then retreat when the water receded.
For hundreds of years, the tribes in the wilderness have suffered greatly from this.”
