10 kilometers
Chen Chao checked the database and found that wolves can run at a speed of 55 kilometers, and their endurance is also very good. They are capable of running 20 kilometers at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. If it is a long-distance running wolf, the speed can even exceed that of a cheetah.
Isn't that just a short distance for a wolf running at full speed? Even if they walked over slowly now, the time left for themselves to prepare is less than thirty minutes!
What the hell can you do for these thirty minutes? !
Since the tribe has always hunted and found solitary wolves recently, I should understand that a group of wolves should have appeared near here recently! I rely too much on my golden fingers and only focus on developing soft power, forgetting that people's enemies are not only weather, hunger and disease, but also hordes of wild beasts that can really threaten the survival of human beings!
But it's useless to regret now, the most urgent task now is how to solve this matter, Chen Chao patted Cyclops on the shoulder, "Go and inform everyone, the wolf is coming!"
Cyclops didn't understand the words in front of him, but he heard the words "wolf came" behind him clearly, and he panicked for a moment. You know, wolves live in packs, and they come in packs when they come.
The two of them went back to the cave to notify everyone to be alert, and the other went to call back the people who were still outside.
Chen Chao walked to the cave and found that Wuzai was carving something on the stone slab under the moonlight at the entrance of the cave. Looking inside, many people had already fallen asleep, but he couldn't find Yuan's figure. Now he could only send I hope Yu Cyclops can find Yuan.
He told Wu that a pack of wolves was coming, and Wu panicked. The two woke up the sleeping people respectively. The old man and the children were at the innermost, the woman was in the middle, and the man was at the outermost. Now go find a boulder It was too late to block the cave, so we had to find a way to repel the wolves.
Gathered the existing weapons in the tribe. All the spears and slings used to kill the moa were recovered. The hunting team also made some weapons when they were not hunting. About 2-4 spears/slings were made per person. , plus the wave of moa killing, the average hunting team can get 8 spears/slings per person, and 11 stone axes were also made today.
But considering that the women in the collection team are also good combat power, if the men are repelled, there are still women who can go up. So Chen Chao distributed 2 spears/slings to each member of the collection team.
Yuan also hurried back, followed by Cyclops, and the two of them were holding a large bundle of wood.
correct! wood!
All beasts are afraid of fire!
Super Chen hurriedly asked the members of the hunting team to bring over the logs they had saved today, and put them all around the entrance of the cave, which was only for self-protection!
It's a pity that we can't use fire to attack directly, because the Tianyuan tribe is mainly surrounded by mountains and forests, and if we use fire to attack the wolves, they will burn themselves to death.
Everyone in the tribe already knew that there were wolves coming. Although everyone was very scared, when they thought of the dried meat stored in the cave behind them, it was already as high as a hill, and there were piles of chestnut mountains. A hard-won good life.
They looked at the stone ax in their hands, and the spears and slings beside them. They were very scared, but they didn't dare to retreat, and they couldn't!
Everyone waited in fear and sleepiness, and it didn't take long before they heard a tidy howl of wolves!
The hunting team, who was on guard all the time, knew in their hearts that it was the wolf who had come!
And a whole pack of wolves!
The scenery within 10 kilometers of the Tianyuan Tribe was constantly switching in Chen Chao's eyes. He watched the wolves start to speed up under the leadership of the head wolf and headed straight for the cave. They had already smelled the smell of dried meat in the cave, smelled The smell of those randomly discarded food scraps also smelled the freshest smell of human flesh.
"Light it up!" Super Chen said in a deep voice.
"Wow..." the pyre in front of the cave was lit, and the rising flames reassured the hunting team standing on the outermost layer of the cave.
Chen Chao counted them, and there were a lot of them, about seventy. It is estimated that the entire wolf pack was mobilized. There are so many wolves, and it's night, it's not that they can't fight, but they can definitely beat them. I have enough long-range attack weapons on my side, as well as stone axes that are invincible in close combat.
But for long-range weapons such as spears and slings, the hunting team now only has 6 spears/slings per person. Once they are thrown out, they will face the problem of being unable to recover them. There are only 9 stone axes that are invincible in melee combat.
It is indeed possible to defeat the wolves by going up hard now, but what about after defeating the wolves
What about casualties and attrition? In this era, injury is almost equal to death. Li Nong, who is one-eyed and missing two fingers, is really one of the lucky ones, and so many people who died have already been unable to open their mouths to argue about their luck. with misfortune.
Wu didn't hide inside, he chose to stand at the front, beside Chen Chao and Yuan. The old man is still wearing his goat's horn, and he is holding tightly the only stone knife in the tribe.
He looked at the blazing bonfire in front of the cave, at the group of wolves howling at the moon, and at their charge.
Chen Chao gave an order, "Throw the spear!"
A round of spears shot straight out, "whoosh, whoosh", the wolves were startled by the spears before they rushed to the bonfire, and retreated after leaving a few wolf corpses.
Everyone in the hunting team cheered softly when they saw the few wolf carcasses dropped by the wolves. These wolf carcasses gave them encouragement and let them know that the wolves are not terrible.
But before they were happy for a long time, the wolves started a second wave of charge, although there were still a few wolf corpses left this time, and this time a few wolf corpses were dragged back by the wolves, and they died in front of them. Bite up.
Chen Chao found that the number of wolves charging began to drop. Thinking of the wolf carcass they dragged back just now, and animals are naturally afraid of fire...
It may be because they have food in their stomachs, they can no longer suppress their fear of fire, and the damage caused to them by the spear is also very great, and animals are also afraid of pain.
Although the number of charges of the wolves began to decline, the number of spears of the hunting team members had decreased to a degree visible to the naked eye.
Noticing this, Chen Chao told them with gestures that only one spear is enough for each throwing.
Because one cast is 18, the coverage is enough, and more casts may be just airdrops, and every spear thrown now must be carefully calculated, because among the long-range attack weapons currently owned, the piercing effect is still long. spear. The current use of the sling may be more to smash the wolves to pieces.
yes! Chen Chao clapped his hands excitedly, what the hell smashed the wolves to pieces before throwing the spears!
