On the third day after the arrival of the rain tribe, Shao Xuan followed the hunting team to hunt.
The people in the advance team have not acted for the time being. The past catastrophe has caused a lot of changes in the mountains and forests. In addition, they have been away for four years. They must first familiarize themselves with the most basic hunting routes.
This time Shao Xuan did not follow the hunting route he was familiar with, but followed the person who opened the sixth hunting route.
Compared to the other five hunting routes, this sixth route took the shortest time and the route was short.
When this hunting route was opened, it was also when Shao Xuan left the tribe and went to the other side of the river. Before the hunting route was fully opened, the tribe had already migrated.
A satisfactory hunting route cannot be developed overnight, and a year or two is not enough. Now, the other warriors of Shao Xuantong's tribe continue to drive this hunting route forward.
There are more people in the tribe now, and even if they come in two batches, the number of people on each hunting route is larger than before, especially the people from Dokang and the others who came from the other side of the sea are full of curiosity about this place.
Here, it is even weirder than some places in the Ferocious Beast Forest.
swoosh—
The brief whistling of the arrow piercing the air sounded, only to hear the muffled sound of the flesh being pierced, and the sound of blood splashing on the leaves at high speed.
Roar!
The angry roar of the beast made the surrounding leaves tremble. However, if you are familiar with the wild beasts in the mountains and forests, you can hear this roar as strong on the outside, but it sounds angry, but if you distinguish it carefully, you can hear the timidity in it.
The huge figure running forward was invisible in the even larger towering ancient trees, but he could tell its position from the movement of the branches. The prey fled in a panic, breaking the branches and making a constant clicking sound.
More than a dozen figures followed the giant beast, shuttled between the woods, flexible and fast.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several spears were thrown out, like projectiles being thrown, heading straight for the target.
Although the figure fleeing ahead is large, the speed is not slow. Even if it is panicked now, it is a familiar place after all, and it instinctively rushes to a place full of bushes ahead.
Those shrubs are as tall as people, with dense but very thin branches, each with a lot of thorns. It's like scraping the flesh of a person directly.
However, for a giant beast with a thick layer of tough skin and big hard hooves, the bushes like thorns are nothing, and they can still run when they step on it. But not for people.
If it was allowed to run to that place, it would be a headache for the people of the hunting party.
The people who were chasing behind avoided the fallen branches, and no matter how strong they were, they couldn't withstand the blow of the giant beast smashing the tree trunk. Seeing that the giant beast was getting closer and closer to the bush, the hunters threw spears and shot arrows one after another. The giant beast was already injured in multiple places, and it ran with a bloody wind. . A spear was inserted into the giant beast and was led to run.
Just as the giant beast was about to step onto the bushes, several figures suddenly jumped up from both sides.
Under the blessing of totem power, the arrogant force became stronger and stronger. The person who jumped up clenched his weapon tightly, waved his arm and chopped it down. The wind pushed and blew to the other side.
puff!
puff! puff!
The sharp blade cut through the tough and thick animal hide, and the blade tip flew out with a bloodline when it left.
The giant beast let out an unwilling howl, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
Then the people who came over made a knife, and after the giant beast completely died, a few people approached.
Shao Xuan took out the kettle hanging from his waist without holding the sword, and there was only a little left in the kettle.
He inserted the sword into the ground, picked a leaf about the size of four palms, rinsed and wiped it with the remaining water in the kettle, then rolled the leaf into a funnel-like shape, and placed it in the place where the beast's neck was bleeding continuously.
The bright and thick blood flowed into the kettle along the rolled up leaves.
The blood of fierce beasts can be stored for a longer time than the blood of other ordinary beasts. If you add some grass juice to prevent blood from coagulating, it will last longer. When hunting in the forest, if it is not convenient to barbecue, they will temporarily replenish their stamina with the blood of fierce beasts.
After taking a mouthful of animal blood, the stench of animal blood fills the nose. If people don't like the smell of blood, they will probably spit it out, but Shao Xuan has long been accustomed to this smell. Different beasts also have the smell of animal blood. The difference is that now Shao Xuan can not only endure the taste of animal blood, but can also laugh and talk to other warriors about which kind of animal blood is better to drink, just like a group of good wine people discussing which wine is more suitable for their own taste.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Shao Xuan looked up at the sky.
Now that the sun has tilted, they have to deal with the prey and bring it back to the stronghold as soon as possible.
The people who were chasing after him had come one after another. Seeing that Shao Xuan and the others had already cut down the beast, they didn't say much. They hurriedly took out the kettle to collect the blood of the beast while the blood was still there.
Carrying the giant beast back to the base, Shao Xuan took out an animal skin scroll, synthesized what he had seen in the past two days, and recorded it on the animal skin scroll. This is a simple map, which is the sixth hunting route. Now, every time a section is opened, it will be added on it.
In addition to hunting fierce beasts, Shao Xuan has another purpose.
In the cave of the stronghold, in addition to the resting soldiers, you could hear a whirring sound, like the wind blowing, and the sound of metal crashing from time to time.
Shao Xuan brought out a green-faced fang, the one with the broken tooth. The tribe did not have much food and grains for them now, but they needed the green-faced fangs to grow normally. Shao Xuan thought about bringing one out when hunting and letting it be Find it yourself.
After being enslaved, the blue-faced fangs do not say that they are absolutely obedient, but at least they are obedient a lot of the time, just in case, they still have to restrain them. The rattan rope could not tie them tightly, so Shao Xuan purposely made a bronze chain.
Green-faced fangs can easily break open many beast bones and pierce stones, but cannot break new bronzes made of their own blood.
A chain was tied to them. If Shao Xuan had free time when hunting, and determined that there were no dangerous beasts nearby, he would lead it out and let it find food on its own.
Fortunately, Shao Xuan was able to keep up with the speed of the green-faced fangs. Otherwise, he would not be able to carry it with another person. At that time, it would not be human beings leading beasts, but beasts leading people.
It has been eight days since he entered the forest, and Shao Xuan really found several kinds of food that could barely be eaten by Qingmian Fangfang, recorded them one by one, and cut some back. If the mountains and forests can provide food for the green face and fangs, the cabbage in the field does not need to continue to be eaten by them, and the people from the hunting team can directly bring them back.
"Shao Xuan, do you think the weather will be hot or cold this winter?" Duokang asked.
"I don't know, I should be able to see it after a few more days." Shao Xuan glanced outside the cave, and the time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, more than half a year passed.
Although it is impossible to know whether this winter will be as abnormal as the previous two years, Shao Xuan does not have much worry in his heart. Presumably, even if there is an abnormality, it will not be a big problem.
Just as he was talking, the person in charge of the guards came over, "Boss! Elder, come out and see, there are so many birds in the sky!"
