For the location here, Ye Qiong was looking for a peak. The relative altitude from the flat land here was about 500 meters. Although it was not worth mentioning compared to the peaks of the Dinglong Mountains.
But because the surrounding area is relatively open, on this peak of 500 meters above sea level, if there are tribes or groups of monsters passing by within a radius of more than ten kilometers, they can be discovered immediately and give an early warning.
When Ye Qiong was in his last life, there were beacon towers in ancient times that could provide early warning through smoke.
The smoke can be seen in the shortest time, and the garrisoned army will enter combat status as soon as possible.
With ten second-line warriors, we rode all the way to the top of the peak.
Ye Qiong got off his horse and took the soldiers to sort out the supplies.
The most important thing is some living supplies. As for food, the soldiers can take care of it themselves.
There are no trees on the peak. If you want to build a wooden tower, you have to move it from other places. Therefore, the construction period of the peak here should be longer and the workload will be heavy.
Unlike the canyon over there, there is no water source here, so draft is a big problem. If the soldiers live here for a long time, they must store rainwater in advance, or wait for the tribe to distribute it uniformly.
After spending a night on the peak, the soldiers began to move wood here early the next morning.
After Ye Qiong tied the heaviest wooden piles together with hemp ropes and dragged them up, he handed the place over to the soldiers.
Construction and fortifications must continue.
Riding on the Mustang King, Ye Qiong circled around the peak twice before galloping towards the tribe again.
Next, there is the location of the third base that Ye Qiong is optimistic about. It is located to the south of the tribe, because to the east of the tribe is the Dinglong Mountains. There will be no tribes coming there, only monsters such as eyeless monsters.
Therefore, there is no need to build a sentry base on the east side. A coal base is enough.
Ye Qiong still took the tribe's ten second-line warriors, rode on the Snow Demon Wolf, and arrived at a location thirty kilometers away.
This is a dense forest. There are several peaks behind the dense forest, which are connected diagonally to the Dinglong Mountain Range. The first time Ye Qiong saw this dense forest two days ago, he knew that he must build a base here.
Timber base!
The ten-man team is considered an advance force. After the tribe's population increases, more people will be arranged to come over to exploit timber resources.
As for the location of the base here, Ye Qiong arranged it next to a creek. Although the terrain is not high, there is a water source that can be used. If the wood needs to be transported later, a smaller river can be built to allow the wood to pass through the dense forest. Float directly out.
With the Ye Qiong tribe as the center, there are now bases on all sides. The nearest one is the coal mine base eight kilometers away. The three newly built bases are all thirty kilometers away, allowing Ye Qiong to general The tribe radiated out effectively.
It also has a formal territorial significance, which is very important in the later development of the tribe.
After all, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. The first to occupy an area and have soldiers stationed there will have the right to own the land.
This natural law can be applied to any creature, but if there is a more powerful existence and you are conquered, then there are two other things to say.
He led the soldiers to start laying the foundation at the location of the creek, and then built a wooden house. The next step was to build fortifications.
For the sake of safety, Ye Qiong asked the soldiers to put the Snow Demon Wolf into the dense forest.
At this moment, the trees have just begun to sprout and have not yet produced branches and leaves, so the visibility in the dense forest is still good.
But in less than a month, with the crazy growth of new branches and leaves, the visibility here will soon decrease. If some monsters suddenly appear in the dense forest and attack, it will be more dangerous.
After working for a while, Ye Qiong walked to the stream and washed his hands, then looked up and down the stream.
The water source in the upper stream of the stream flows down from the Dinglong Mountains. Within the visible range, you can see a small waterfall in the center of the mountains, and the water in the stream flows down from above.
What surprised Ye Qiong was that there were pebbles under the stream. The stones that had been washed by the stream all year round had a very smooth surface. Some colored stones could refract colorful light under the rays of stars.
Many tribes like to take the pebbles back to make some jewelry and the like, but they are all small ones because the tribes need to migrate all year round.
After Ye Qiong washed his hands, he directly took a few sips of the stream water, which was very refreshing, and then walked upstream along the stream.
After walking for about a kilometer, the soldiers could no longer be seen behind him. Ye Qiong looked up at the waterfall and prepared to go up to have a look.
In winter, above the snow stars, only underground rivers and underground rivers have flowing water.
Even the water flowing out of the hot spring freezes within a few hundred meters.
With a low temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero, it is no exaggeration to say that if you sprinkle boiling water into the air, what will fall down will be ice slag.
On the surface of Snow Star, there is almost no flowing water. Of course, there are some special situations, that is, some underground areas rich in special minerals.
Ye Qiong felt that these creeks did not seem to have just formed and flowed in the past few days.
So with a feeling of exploration, Ye Qiong wanted to figure out why.
As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things happen!
This creek gave Ye Qiong a very wrong feeling...
If there is no special reason, a stream of this size will not be formed at this time. Moreover, the stones under the stream are completely different from the river channel Ye Qiong discovered at the coal mine base a few days ago.
After walking about a kilometer further along the stream, Ye Qiong stopped. Now he was far away from the base behind him.
Ye Qiong picked up a stone from the stream, put it in his palm and looked at it.
It felt warm and smooth to the touch. After rubbing it with my hands, there was nothing unusual. The carbon-based stone did not contain any energy or anything like that.
The trees on both sides of the stream began to become denser. Now they can be described as lush. Some of the texture extending from both sides blocked Ye Qiong from going deeper. If he wanted to continue going up, he had to go Step into the stream and move forward with your body bowed.
Ye Qiong took out the dagger from his waist and looked at the waterfall upstream. It was about two kilometers away from him, which was an estimate with the naked eye.
In fact, it may be much farther, and coupled with the obstruction of the trees in the middle, it will be more troublesome to get up.
He cut a branch with a dagger and tried it. These branches are very tough. Ye Qiong couldn't name the plants on both sides. After all, he had never seen them before.
If you hold a dagger all the way up and cut like this, the dagger will definitely be useless.
Ye Qiong put away the dagger, turned around and prepared to go back.
The moment Ye Qiong turned around, a slender black shadow suddenly appeared in the air, heading toward the back of Ye Qiong's neck like lightning!
