I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 771, falling behind

The conversation was divided into two parts, and Zhen Xing and the others continued to move towards the rubber tree production area.

This road has been traveling for more than a month. They have traveled thousands of miles along this batch of strange continental shelves. They have encountered almost no one. It seems that civilization has completely left their field of vision, and even their competitors have disappeared. It seems like between the vast fields.They were the only sea ship left, and they were the only people left in this world, which made the optimistic crew members a little taciturn.

On the way, they also approached the shore, replenished some fresh water, and hunted some wild game, but it was these few visits that allowed Zhen Xing and the others to confirm that this continent did not have any traces of civilization, and it was a completely barren land.

Because they have marched thousands of miles for more than a month, but they have not seen a single city, only some savages wearing animal skins. Judging from their civilization level, they are lower than the southern barbarians in the south of Jingzhou. , There are no iron tools at all, but stone tools and a small amount of bronze are used.

When Zhen Xing saw them, he was surprised and said: "Seeing them is like seeing three generations of ancient books, simple and barbaric, hospitable and cruel."

Although these savages are respectful to Zhen Xing and the others, Zhen Xing does not think they are kind people, because he has seen the bones of many people in this tribe, and they have also seen the cruel sacrifice of living people by these tribes. Scenes.

Zhen Quan smiled and said, "It's fine if they are low-civilized, so our safety will be guaranteed."

For Zhen Xing and the others, the low level of civilization of these savages makes it difficult for them to communicate, let alone obtain supplies related to industry, but the biggest advantage is that their force is not enough to threaten them, and the second is because they are ignorant , Seeing Zhen Xing's big boat, he thought that Zhen Xing's god was visiting.

So every time Zhenxing and the others docked, a large number of savages bowed down to them, and then took out their best food to entertain and cherish them.

Of course, Zhen Xing and the others didn't eat the food of these savages for nothing. They bought a lot of cloth and various ironware when they sailed, just to trade supplies here.To some extent, the low level of civilization in this strange continent was a good thing for Zhen Xing and the others, which made the goods they carried more valuable.

And the people here were also very excited when they saw Zhen Xing.After exchanges between the two parties, it turned out that they were sailors who set off four months earlier than Zhen Xing and the others. At that time, the ice and snow in the north had not completely melted, and it was impossible for the fleet to set off north along the sea shelf.

These savages gave them great convenience, but also brought them bad news, that is, they were not the first sea ships to come to this area, and dozens of sea ships had come before them. They have been here, of course, how much they are, these savages can't tell, they just say that many ships like Zhen Xing and the others have passed here.

This discovery made Zhen Xing and the others extremely happy. Even though they knew that these people were competitors, they couldn't help being excited when they heard their accents.

For the savages who were still in the barbaric era, Zhen Xing’s cloth was the best animal skin in the world, and their iron tools were magic weapons. Cut it off.So Zhen Xing can buy a large number of savages to serve them as long as he pays a small amount of goods.

Zhen Xing was still a little unconvinced at first, but soon he understood, what is ginger or old spicy!
Because their fleet continued to travel for a month, they met their compatriots again.

But to Zhen Xing and the others, even the barbecue is supremely delicious. They can only eat dried meat all the way on the sea, or try to catch some sea fish, canned fish, and even the stored fresh water has a musty smell. For these foods at sea, the barbeque jerky of the savages, as well as some local gourmet snacks, are also delicious for them.

But when they waited to land, they found that this place was completely different from other places.

There is no shortage of docks, wooden houses, stone roads, and even city walls. It can be said that although the buildings here are rough, they are obviously built in a grand style. This is obviously a small city, and it must not be built in a short time.Zhen Xing and the others were all wondering how this city was built.

To increase their speed, they need to leave the coastal continent and follow the general direction on the map, but facing a completely unfamiliar sea area, this behavior is extremely dangerous, so Zhen Quan has been preventing Zhen Xing from taking risks.

So much so that Zhen Xing complained to Zhen Quan: "Our speed is too slow, the fastest one has gone more than a month longer than ours!"

Because Zhen An had told him before they left that even if he didn't get the reward from the ruling, he had to bring his eldest son home safely. In this case, he certainly didn't want Zhen Xin to take risks.

Zhen Quan said calmly, "We've only traveled more than 1 miles, less than one-fifth of the distance, why should the eldest son be so anxious, this is an extremely difficult long-distance race, and you can't win by walking fast! "

Of course, their so-called best food is just some local prey (they dare not accept the meat unless they see the type, and they are worried that it is a corpse.), and some inexplicable wild fruits and vegetables.

But this captain named Wan Guanjie found a shortcut from the sea chart, that is, to break away from the continental shelf and head eastward, crossing the sea route of tens of thousands of miles, and directly arrive at the hinterland of the New World in one step.

In this way, not only did he walk four months earlier than the others, but the distance was also shortened by more than half, which is equivalent to half a year faster than others, which is a great advantage.

The advantages of this sea route are so obvious, but the disadvantages are also extremely significant. Wan Guanjie and the others did not expect the dangers encountered along the way. They sailed on the sea for more than 100 days and did not see the mainland at all. Without this pressure, the mental breakdown, because of the lack of supplies on the island, many people also died of illness at sea because of eating moldy food and water, by the time their group came to this strange continent, more than half of them had already died of illness people.The rest had a terrible fear of sailing and were unwilling to go any further.

Wan Guanjie had no choice but to stay here. He recruited some savages and built a simple city here. It was built by thousands of savages.
