Chapter 575 Travel! Meet the weak civilization!(2/2)
"The northern border is too big, and it is indeed necessary to set up several branches to facilitate trade. Or, after we produce enough floating fortresses, we will open a trade model like the Silk Road." Lu Yuan thought to himself.
In order to avoid trouble, he did not disturb these expeditions. After the distance between the two sides reached a certain level, he used the ability of the "hurricane" to make himself fly.
"Wow~ I'm finally willing to spend money." Miss Conch screamed and kept praising, "So stable! It's like a fighter!"
"Aoao!" The old wolf curled up in the corner, clamped his tail with his butt, and howled constantly.
In just one night, Lu Yuan left the geothermal zone and kept heading towards the north.
The temperature was getting lower and the snow on the ground became significantly thicker.
"The Dwarfs may not have expected that I will set out so soon."
"They can't imagine the existence of the greedy demon... Be careful, don't step on small animals."
Every time you step down, you will step on the soft soil and your huge soles will sink into it.
“Swishy~Swishy~”
Under the thick snow, no one knows what strange life is hidden.
It seems that it is spring in the northern border, with mosses and some shrubs that can grow on the snow, everywhere, in a ball.
There are some plants with strong vitality that stretch out their buds.
And even, there are some... Northland wolf hidden in the snow.
[Although there is no superpower, the northern wolf's ability to resist cold is greatly enhanced!]
【Extraordinary level: Level 0.】
"Aowu!" Lao Lang was excited now, and his evil and crazy face burst out with enthusiasm.
Lu Yuan put it out, sat on the snow, pretending to be a mountain full of vitality.
Sure enough, those female wolves were attracted to this "mountain"
The old wolf caught the female wolf and sprinkled the seeds of life.
Lu Yuan's soul was transferred to the human body and recorded a new diary.
"108456 days, eyes wide open! The female wolf is like a panda, with her eyes, limbs and ears black. She was pressed under her body by the old wolf and sang a conquest!"
"I'll just say, why are you carrying the human body for? Is it just to write a diary?" The conch grabbed his ears and kept stretching them.
Lu Yuan smiled "hehe" with a smirk, his five fingers turned into claws, and he rushed over: "Of course it's for..."
The girl cooperated and widened her eyes, screaming and covering her face: "The pervert is eating people!"
...
If you walk in a straight line, you will leave the geothermal zone and go straight to the ruins in the distance, and you will not encounter any civilization along the way.
In the past few hundred years, the dwarves have long explored most of the civilization locations. They gave Lu Yuan a relatively accurate military map, which is a very precious gift.
Through this map, we can see that more than 90% of the areas are rarely visited by ice and snow, as well as lakes, great rift valleys, peaks, and even an ocean with about two earthly areas!
Most of the ocean is covered with thick ice, which is impossible for ships to pass through, and the terrain is quite harsh.
However, it is not a big problem for Lu Yuan. He can only spend a little money to fly. Anyway, he can find some extraordinary minerals from time to time along the way, which can make up for the spiritual consumption brought by flight.
This trip was originally a relaxing mood, and it was not a hurry to rush.
Lu Yuan even took his lovely wife to visit the weak civilization along the way to experience the local customs - he naturally used the human body, and the "Greedy Demon God" turned into a small mountain and stayed in the distance.
"Hello, we are travelers of human civilization."
"I'm here and come to visit. I wonder if you have any skills?"
The first race they visited was a species called the "Snow Sheep".
Their hair was fluffy, like lumps of marshmallows, living in ancient caves.
The ground of this cave is relatively flat, covered with dry moss and straw. The cave walls are rough, and simple symbols and patterns are carved on them, perhaps because of their worship and record of hunting, sun, moon and stars.
As for the cubs of the "Snow Sheep Clan", they looked soft and cute, and they looked at them curiously.
Especially the small grass rings hanging on the conch heads made them feel appetite.
[It's really like a goat. Can you take it home for maintenance?] Conch snails were immediately transformed by these little animals.
[You're thinking too much.] The two of them were chattering in telepathy.
The leader of the Snow Sheep was very wary of them, holding the spear tightly in his hands, considering his diplomatic words: "Since you are visiting, it is better to stay here for a few more days."
"My Snow Sheep Clan, welcome all the guests."
But deep down he sighed: "Is it that human being... that human being?"
"Are you going to rob us... I don't know how much wool you have to pay this time to avoid disaster."
The Snow Sheep Clan is not a strong clan.
From their living environment, it can be analyzed that this civilization was a group of uncivilized primitive people from the beginning.
Fortunately, the history of the northern border has been three hundred years, and goblins and other goblins are wandering everywhere, and there are many civilization relics.
Under a large amount of civilized exchanges, even the uncivilized races have gradually mastered some knowledge.
From a certain perspective, humans will come here at the right time, place and people. There is a kind of luck in the relationship between the right time, place and people. There is basically no race that cannot be communicated, which saves a lot of trouble.
"I have experienced a lot of hardships all the way here, right?" the leader said.
"It's okay. We are both level seven experts, and we have the best of keeping our own health." Lu Yuan said casually, "It's even cold this day, and after staying for a long time, I want to find some warmth.
Warm your body where you are."
However, the Snow Sheep clan was shocked and became even more respectful.
"You can stay as long as you want. Our cave is quite warm."
Although the combat power in the North has expanded and the knowledge of extraordinary fire seeds is not a secret, the most important thing to improve combat power is resources!
The big clan can easily train seventh-level masters, but it is a group of people. As for the small clan, the fifth-level and sixth-level masters are the ceiling, and they must be the top genius.
This may be the so-called "unity of civilization".
Lu Yuan visited the well-connected cave here, with the air filled with the smell of soil, and the snow sheep used a kind of moss as their food.
Because the reproduction rate of moss is limited, their population is also quite limited.
A big cave is a tribe, and the relationship between men and women is chaotic, so I can’t figure out who their father is.
Therefore, most of the tribes here are matriarchal social culture.
There are also a small number of tribes, and patriarchal social culture has emerged.
"The reason for the emergence of matriarchal society is not because of feminism, nor because of the higher productivity of this social structure. It is just because everyone can't figure out who the father is."
"But we can understand who the mother is. Blood ties are born with social bonds, and every intelligent civilization is like this, so the matriarchal society is very popular in the early stages."
"The main reason for overtaking patriarchal society is that the strongest males have learned to open the harem. These strong men have enough abilities to ensure that the child born must be their own. Therefore, they are willing."
"At the same time, the patriarchal tribe opened the harem, causing the population to reproduce several times that of the matriarchal society."
"In ancient times, population was equivalent to everything, which was a natural process of elimination. In order to emphasize the father's right to reproduction, patriarchal society would evolve into various cultures, such as the "Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanences" and so on."
Lu Yuan came to a very strange conclusion.
The snow sheep are transitioning from matriarchal society to patriarchal society.
This phenomenon is quite rare and worth studying.
"But modern civilization has abandoned these traditional concepts." Conch questioned.
"So the marriage gradually collapsed." Lu Yuan spread his hands, "Everyone is an independent atom. He has no other relatives except his parents, so the New Year is not lively."
"No one knows whether it is good or bad."
The only thing that made him feel relieved was that there was a school here - a few old men with long beards, who were telling the children some books they got from some unknown places.
"This is quite good. Only those with cultural heritage are civilization." Lu Yuan deeply agreed.
...
Next, they visited the textile handicraft factory.
It is also the only industry here.
The "Snow Sheep Clan" is a civilization with specialties. The wool produced on it is already an extraordinary item with "low quality" and is a high-quality textile.
However, Lu Yuan observed that the living conditions of this race were not good, the weak race had no diplomacy, and even if they had specialties, they did not make them rich.
The leader hesitated and did not dare to speak.
Lu Yuan also guessed the reason. Do they dare to sell it at a high price? Don’t.
Selling low prices is the reason why they survive until now.
A group of children have already begun to snatch the food distributed by the conch sister - the leaves of the poppy tree, which seems to be fatal attraction to the snow sheep clan.
The sound of "bleat" was extremely cheerful.
The ignorant has no worries, and the incompetent has no desires. How can such a weak clan grow? Lu Yuan also has no clear answer.
