Last night's casual conversation gave them both some thoughts that were different from before.
Of course, this is just an idea at the moment. They don't have many resources to exchange, nor do they have the ability to exchange with places far away.
After a simple breakfast, the fleet continued along the cliff.
After another half-day's journey, the cliff finally softened and was no longer as steep as before, and some small shrubs gradually appeared on the mountain.
However, climbing up was still quite difficult. With no other option, they could only continue forward.
After another half-day's journey, the fleet had to spend another night on the ship, as going ashore was quite troublesome.
Two days of rest on the ship left most of the barbarians somewhat exhausted. These small boats were not meant to allow you to lie down comfortably, so many people just sat or lay on their side to get by.
The boat was small and rocking, so you can imagine how difficult it was to sleep.
Fortunately, the barbarians were used to a hard life, and they didn't complain too much, but continued rowing forward.
The further we walked after setting off today, the more smiles appeared on Jiang Sen's face.
The terrain had leveled off considerably as they progressed, and they could now barely make it up some parts of the mountain. Finally, they wouldn't have to sleep on the boat anymore.
"Hurricane, inform everyone to keep moving forward and find a very good place to get up."
The hurricane was also happy; after three days, it could finally go ashore to rest.
They hadn't gone far when they heard the commotion of other barbarians ahead.
"Come quick, there's a huge flat area here, and it looks like someone has been there before?"
Everyone rowed their boats to a small clearing on the side of the mountain, and they all eagerly disembarked and came ashore.
Jiang Sen looked at the small flat area by the mountain and thought it was a good place to stop the boat and rest.
He jumped off the boat and looked at the few traces on the mountainside. Although some time had passed, some of the traces were clearly man-made, indicating that someone had indeed come up the mountain from here.
He planned to let everyone rest here first and then go to search for the mine tomorrow, since everyone had been very tired these past few days. But as the leader, he couldn't rest yet; he had to go up there now to check on the situation.
"Everyone, rest here and have something to eat. We'll go look for minerals again tomorrow. Hurricane, take a few people and we'll go up there to check out the situation first."
Then Jiang Sen and the others began to head up the mountain along the original path.
"Huh? There's a valley below the stubborn forest! Ah! There are houses in there. Are people still living here?" Hurricane on the mountaintop was quite surprised.
"Observe first, it's a hurricane, don't shout, don't make any noise."
Jiang Sen was also a little puzzled. How could people survive in a place like this? Judging from the size of the house, there must be quite a few people inside.
So the group held their breath and stared intently at the valley below.
After observing for a while, Hurricane whispered:
"Stubborn Sen, it seems like no one lives down there? Could this be that guy Woxis's mine?"
Stubborn Sen was also puzzled. If this was the location of the mine, why was no one mining it? This didn't seem like something that stupid and greedy guy like Woxis would do.
Oh, he knows. He must be afraid of being robbed. The robbers must have scared him so much that there's no one here now.
However, he couldn't help but laugh at the foolish idea that Worsis had robbed him. In reality, he wasn't the one who had been robbed at all.
Now that Jiang Sen has confirmed it, this is the location of the Woxis mine. He roughly calculated the distance and found that it would take him three days to get here by boat. The Woxis manor is even further from this mountainous area.
No wonder he couldn't hold on; the people who robbed him must have come by boat, right from this spot.
What an incredibly stupid guy! Do we even have a ship that powerful? He's overestimating his stubbornness.
"Let's go down and take a look." Having figured things out, the stubborn Sen was no longer afraid.
