Chapter 372
When the fat man who blurted out mentioned cultivation and evolution, he was instantly alert and looked at Ye Chen defensively.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just asked casually, I don't even have a tribe now, and that's what you want to say, you can't rely on me!"
Facing the little fat man's questioning, Ye Chen, with an astonishingly thick skin, babbled nonsense without hesitation.
"If you don't ask...I...how can I say it." The little fat man who was not good at defending said with his neck flushed.
"Hey, they are back, and they seem to have a good harvest!"
Seeing the returning team in the distance, successfully diverting the little fat man's sight, Ye Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The bearded man and other eight people came from a distance, and everyone was holding some big pine cone seeds. At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly realized that the fir leaf fruit they were talking about was a big pine cone-like fruit, no wonder Some people even carry wicker baskets.
"Okay, tidy up and get ready to go back!"
Looking at the chaotic team, the bearded man shouted dissatisfiedly at the crowd.
"You, yellow one, board the boat with me, pay attention to stand still, and don't make a fuss along the way, or I will throw you down!"
For Ye Chen's rogue behavior before, the little fat man is still brooding about it.
She curled her lips, yellow?This narrow-minded fat kid.
Ye Chen looked back at the boat in front of him and was speechless for a while, feeling that they were on this boat before.
This kind of vertical row is five tree trunks with a diameter of about one meter, and the horizontal row is a large horizontal log that has been flattened at each end. The logs are tied with a thick straw rope and connected by leech nails of different lengths. The whole hull is about ten meters long and more than four meters wide.
Looking at this rough and simple "boat" out of the corner of his eyes twitching, Ye Chen began to doubt his own definition of a boat for the first time.
This is a boat?Ye Chen really wanted to ask, how does this look like a boat?
This is clearly an oversized raft!Ye Chen moved his feet and slowly got on the "raft".
Seeing Ye Chen's cautious appearance, all the strange people around laughed, especially the little fat man's exaggerated laugh.
"Seeing that you have a pair of wings, I know you must be afraid of water!"
Ye Chen didn't bother to refute, don't ducks and geese have wings?
After everyone got on the raft and took their positions, they started paddling with wide long-handled wooden paddles.The raft started steadily away from the small island where Ye Chen had been trapped for two days.
It wasn't until the raft entered the water that Ye Chen realized that the raft had barely sunk, carrying ten people and a few large baskets of unknown meat and fir leaf fruits, which was unbelievable.
Besides the buoyancy of the water, there must be something wrong with these logs on the raft.
Seeing Ye Chen staring at the raft and studying, the bearded man seemed to know what he was thinking.
"This is water-grained wood, a very light wood that can be carried by a teenager, but it is tough and corrosion-resistant. Even if it is soaked in water for more than ten years, it will not rot. It is used for It's perfect for shipbuilding."
Since the other party has not shown any malice, Ye Chen boldly stared at the bearded man and asked:
"Then what are you going to do with me?"
The bearded man looked at Ye Chen's face, his serious gaze made Ye Chen a little confused.
"Why are you being dealt with?"
"In the sea world, every human being is a hope. We need to combine the power of more people to find the glory of our ancestors. Although we have evolved in different directions, we still have an inseparable connection at the root of our blood."
Following the bearded man's words, more and more doubts arose in Ye Chen's mind.
Sea world?Evolution direction?Could it be that he has left the Badge Continent?
Impossible, the Hawker family's scroll cannot be powerful.
The bearded man looked down at the raft that was moving on, and continued:
"Although I don't know your origin, but through observation of you, I found that you are a smart, cautious, but not bad-natured young man, so I want you to join my tribe."
"Wait a minute, my evolution direction is different from yours, won't this have any effect?"
Ye Chen interrupted the bearded man.
Ye Chen, who had just finished speaking, found that the atmosphere on the raft was a bit weird. Everyone looked at him with strange eyes of "watching a monkey", and the little fat man yelled directly:
"Your ignorance is really amazing. Don't you know that evolution is reversible? As long as you join our tribe and practice our secret method, you will gradually possess the characteristics of our tribe, and your wings will also slowly grow." Slowly disappear."
Ye Chen didn't care about the little fat man's weird cry, and quickly digested the information in the other party's words.
"Enough, keep quiet!"
The majesty of the patriarch instantly turned the little fat man from a lobster with teeth and claws into a quail with its head shrunk.
"Your question will return to the clan, and let the clan elder tell you more detailed information!"
The bearded man glanced at Ye Chen strangely, then stopped talking.
The conversation with the bearded man made Ye Chen understand that he was out of danger, so he calmed down and thought about how to understand the information he wanted to know if he saw the so-called "clan elder"
As the raft boat continued to drive on the sea for less than half a day, everyone was relieved that there was no danger along the way. There was a constant chattering noise on the raft boat. The little fat man first shouted:
"Home! Home!"
Ye Chen followed the little fat man's line of sight, but only found a small black spot, which gradually increased in size as the raft sailed, and soon after, a medium-sized island with a terrain high in the west and low in the east appeared in front of everyone.
Slowly approaching the coast, the raft sailed into the crescent-shaped harbor on the side of the island. There are high stone cliffs on both sides of the harbor. When you look up, you can vaguely see people walking on the cliffs.
The raft boat drove to the end of the harbor, and a simple small pier built of wood appeared in front of Ye Chen.
As everyone stepped onto the pier and walked into the slope passage connected to the pier, the passage was more than three meters wide and showed a gentle upward slope.
Ye Chen, who looked around all the way, found that the slope passage and the crescent harbor were all formed naturally, and there were few traces of artificial excavation, which made Ye Chen have to marvel at the ingenious formation of the terrain here.
The only regret may be that the harbor is a little narrow and cannot accommodate large ships.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet the clan elders."
Ye Chen's wild thoughts were interrupted as the bearded man opened his mouth.
"All of you give Alan the statistics of the harvest this time, and send a copy to the clan elders, and then distribute it according to the contribution."
As he walked, he turned his head and gave instructions to the people behind him.
After leaving the passage, Ye Chen, who was about to follow the bearded man, found someone pulling his sleeve and looked back.
"Hey, why are you?"
"Hey, that's me. My father told me to let you come to my house for dinner at night!"
