"Chief, please allocate the new ship to our Fishing Team. We have experience in sailing."
Jing Jie looked eagerly at Jiang Xuan, hoping he would allocate the ship to the Fishing Team.
Jiang Xuan said, "Don't be anxious, some of the new ships will definitely be allocated to your Fishing Team, but not yet."
"Why?"
Jing Jie felt very puzzled.
"Because the new ship still has many issues right now. After the trial voyage, it needs to go back to the shipyard for further improvements. Once those are complete, it can be handed over to the Fishing Team."
"By that time, I hope you can form a dedicated fleet. Whether it's going far to fish or trading with tribes along the river, both are excellent choices."
"Of course, once you leave the Vine Tribe territory, danger can arise at any moment. You might encounter Water Beasts in the river, hit reefs, or other tribes might try to seize your goods..."
"In short, to form a fleet, you must be ready to face life-threatening situations at any time. If you succeed, you'll gain many things; if you fail, you might pay with your life."
Jiang Xuan clearly informed Jing Jie of the dangers of sailing, leaving nothing out.
Jing Jie replied seriously, "Chief, hunting is dangerous, fishing is dangerous, fighting with other tribes is also dangerous."
"Tribal people's lives are inherently accompanied by danger, so we are not afraid to die!"
The Warriors by Jing Jie's side echoed, "That's right, Chief, we are not afraid to die!"
Jiang Xuan looked at these brave Warriors, and a smile appeared on his face.
The tribal people may be wild and uncultured, but they have the courage to face death, a courage that many civilized people lack.
Jing Jie is right, the tribal people's lives are inherently accompanied by danger. They need to fight hard for all the supplies they need, like food and clothing. Being afraid of death won't solve any problems.
"Alright, after the new ship's improvements are complete, I will establish a dedicated fleet, and the crew will be chosen from your Fishing Team."
"I have only one requirement: let our Totem Banner of the Vine Tribe be recognized throughout the Southern Wilderness and even further."
Jiang Xuan's words stirred the hearts of Jing Jie and the Warriors of the Fishing Team; they were eager to sail immediately.
However, one Warrior quietly asked, "Chief, what's a Totem Banner?"
Jing Jie glared at him, saying, "You talk too much, you'll find out when the time comes."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, indicating for Jing Jie not to scold the Warrior, and personally explained, "A Totem Banner is painting our tribe's Totem Pattern with special pigments on a large piece of Beast Hide, then hanging it in a high place."
"This way, others can see the Totem Pattern on the banner from afar and know that it's our Vine Tribe coming."
Actually, it's best to use fabric to make a Totem Banner because fabric is light and soft, and can flutter in the wind.
However, the Vine Tribe currently has no fabric, so we can only try our best to use lightweight, soft Beast Hide.
"That's how it is."
Jing Jie and the Warriors of the Fishing Team suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, continue fishing, and we will continue the trial voyage!"
Jiang Xuan boarded the new ship again, and the shipyard staff also went up. Afterwards, they raised the sails again, traversing the Feiyu River continuously, testing the performance of the ship and recording any shortcomings for future improvements.
Jing Jie and others continued fishing while occasionally glancing at the new ship, hoping the fleet could be established soon.

Vine Tribe residence area.
The Old Witch did not continue carving the Great Wilderness Hundred Herbs Map today. In his hand, he held a golden Bronze Blade Coin and a Gemstone Blade Coin made of superior stone materials.
Although the Gemstone Blade Coin far exceeded the Bronze Blade Coin in sharpness and hardness, the Old Witch's gaze was drawn to the Bronze Blade Coin.
Because it's a material he had never seen before, and its use is something he had never imagined.
He exchanged these two Blade Coins using Beast Teeth and Beast Bone at the Trading Area.
Initially, he just wanted to take a stroll at the Trading Area out of boredom. Unexpectedly, he found the Vine Tribe Trading Area had already undergone a great transformation.
Firstly, the variety of goods had increased dramatically, with most carrying the Vine Tribe Totem Pattern mark.
Secondly, shops had become more numerous. The Trading Area even featured a new type of shop called an "Inn," where one could eat and stay conveniently.
Finally, and most importantly, these Blade Coins.
As time passed, nearby tribe people and Wanderers discovered the benefits of Blade Coins.
Whether it's cutting meat, peeling Beast Hide, or trading with others, Blade Coins are very popular.
Most importantly, stone polished knives, once damaged, can only be polished again or discarded.
But Vine Tribe Blade Coins, even if heavily worn, are recycled by the Vine Tribe, although their value is discounted!
Now, most people trading in the Vine Tribe Trading Area first exchange their goods for Blade Coins and then use Blade Coins to buy items from the trading area or eat and stay.
"Amazing, amazing; such small Blade Coins, how much benefit can they bring to the Vine Tribe?"
