Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Every year when winter approaches, the tribes go out to hunt more frequently. If it weren't for the limited manpower and the inability to bring more things, they would definitely hunt for a longer time.

Because every year when winter is approaching, the tribe will prepare the animal skins, and then let people take them to the slave owners to sell them, and then buy some other things. When the weather is cold, the demand for animal skins from slave owners who live far away from the deep mountains and forests will also increase. The slaves under them alone cannot prepare many good goods, so they have to get it from the tribesmen.

Especially those with good coat color and high quality leather sell for more than double the price at other times.

Food, copper utensils and other things that some tribes cannot produce themselves will be exchanged in this way. If the family has the conditions, they will buy some rare items from the slave owners and bring them back.

All of this requires prey to support.

Before going to bed yesterday, Shao Xuan heard that many people in the team were discussing what to use for furs. They also asked Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan had never been to the slave owner's site here, and he couldn't say why he came. See you later.

On the second day of the hunt, before the sun was fully exposed, the teams set off.

Following Tao Zheng's team, Shao Xuan quickly walked between the mountains and forests. Sometimes, after a short pause, Tao Zheng would introduce some of the surrounding landforms to Shao Xuan. This is the route that their team often hunts. Shao Xuan remembers all the dangerous places around, which beasts, and which are dangerous or medicinal plants.

When passing a dry river, Shao Xuan suddenly stopped and looked over there.

Seeing Shao Xuan stop, everyone else also stopped. After yesterday's hunting, the people in the team would not underestimate Shao Xuan, and even the stubborn one had to admit that Shao Xuan was a little bit stronger than them.

"What's wrong?" Tao Zheng asked. Looking at the dry river bed over there, they didn't find anything strange. They had walked here many times and were very familiar with it.

Shao Xuan stared over there, "You guys wait here, I'll go take a look." After that, he walked over there quickly.

There are no dangerous beasts around, Tao Zheng walked over and asked, "What did you find?"

Shao Xuan was silent, and he was not sure.

The riverbed here is 20 to 30 meters wide, and the one in the distance seems to be wider, but it is not deep.

"During the rainy season here, the river water will rise, but at the end of the year, the river level will drop and dry out." Tao Zheng introduced to Shao Xuan, "There is water here most of the year, and it will dry up at the end of the year. That's it. But when there's water here, we don't come near here. Because there are some more dangerous fish here."

Shao Xuan walked to the side, but did not go down, watching the river bed dry and crack, but if he stepped in, it would sink directly. The bottom was full of soft mud, only the mud above was dried and cracked. The cracked mud cracks There are a lot of weeds growing out of it, and the growth is not bad.

However, Shao Xuan was not interested in any of these. His goal was the stones protruding from the riverbed.

"Do you have a spear? Borrow it." Shao Xuan turned to find someone to borrow a tool.

"Use mine!" Dolly quickly handed over the spear he was carrying.

"Thanks."

Shao Xuan took the spear and lifted the stone closest to him on the riverbed.

The stone that exposed the riverbed was lifted high by the spear head and flew towards Shao Xuan. Catching the stone, Shao Xuan wiped off some dry mud on the surface of the stone, looked at the stone carefully, and rubbed his fingers on the stone.

feel.

"Are these stones any different?" Tao Zheng asked. In his opinion, these stones are no different from other stones, and they are not big enough to make stone tools.

Shao Xuan shook his head: "Just guessing."

Picking up two more stones, Shao Xuan put the three fist-sized stones in his hand into the animal skin bag, and then looked into the distance along the riverbed.

"The kind of terrifying fish you are talking about is a fish with hard scales all over its body, big mouth and fangs, four claws and a long tail, and can swim in the water and walk on the shore?" Shao Xuan asked.

Before Tao Zheng could answer, Duoli and the others nodded again and again: "Yes, that's it, Shao Xuan, have you seen it?"

At first they wanted to hunt some of those fish, but then they found that the fish were too dangerous and there were too many, so when the weather was warm and the water in the river was rising, they would avoid this place and wait until the end of the year when the river dries up and those fish If they leave, they will go this way again.

Touching the animal skin bag containing the stone, Shao Xuan asked again, "Where does this river lead all the way?"

Others don't know about this issue, but Tao Zheng knows something, he heard from the old hunter who used to go this way.

"It is said that there is a wider river ahead. The river can pass through the entire mountain forest. If you keep walking along the river, you may see the sea. But it is too far. No one has seen the tribe, just listened to it. Some tribesmen from over there said it."

Into the Haihe? Shao Xuan lowered his head to think.

The reason why Shao Xuan stopped was because he felt the stones on the bed were familiar, and when he looked at the stones, the texture was familiar. Back then, when he took the tribe across the river and left the Mo tribe, a crocodile gave him a stone. It is said that the water moon stone of the Mo tribe came out of that kind of stone.

The Emblem tribe has never been here, and it can't have anything to do with this place, but the crocodiles are different. Maybe the crocodiles of the Emblem tribe won't come here, but what about other crocodiles? Are there still some crocodiles like those of the Mo tribe who also pick up stones from the sea and spit them into the river?

Not sure about this.

"Let's go." Shao Xuan said. The team has to continue hunting, and it can't be delayed because of him.

Dori looked at the team that left, then looked at the stones protruding from the river bed, and ran over to pick up a stone with a spear and take it with him. Ever since he saw Shao Xuan singled out the Bone Stone Beast, Duoli admired the young elder who was not much older than him, and believed in Shao Xuan's strength. Since Shao Xuan felt that the stones were strange, he also brought them with him. The last research study, maybe you can find something?

When other people saw Dori's behavior, they actually thought about whether to bring a piece of their own, but the team had already left, and it was difficult to go back. Forget it, come back next time, anyway, there will be another hunting before winter.

Apart from the special way that Shao Xuan hunted bone beasts on the first day, in the next few days, he resumed his previous hunting methods. Yanjiao people advocate individual ability, but also value teamwork. Together with Tao Zheng and others, Shao Xuan hunted a lot of good prey. In addition, Shao Xuan also used vines to weave a net and netted a few tapirs.

The tapir caught is a relatively small type of tapir, and it belongs to the common beasts that can be eaten. They are very timid, and with the slightest movement, they will flee wildly, hiding in a hidden spot with lush branches and grass, and will not come out until the crisis has passed. There are also some patterns of different colors on their epidermis, which look like they are wearing camouflage clothing.

The cubs of this tapir are less timid, so they are not as curious as the cubs of other beasts, but will always follow the mother and will not leave alone. Such a way of survival has allowed this seemingly inoffensive population to continue to survive to this day.

Tao Zheng and the others despised such prey, but Shao Xuan caught it. It was a female tapir with a litter of cubs. When they found them, they were being chased by predators and directly hit the cap under Shao Xuan. In the net, Shao Xuan was caught in a nest.

Such ordinary beasts, Shao Xuan himself did not eat much, and caught them as gifts.

The hunting time has passed, the prey of each team is almost the same, and it is time to return to the tribe.

Everyone gathered at the resting place and sorted out the prey of their respective teams and carried them back.

One of the routes from the resting place to the tribe coincides with the Taihe tribe's route. Although the territories of the two tribes are different and the hunting areas are different, this section of the road is shared. Because it is flat enough and easy to walk, it is suitable for teams with prey.

The road is out. The two tribes and hunting teams often step on and on, and the trees and weeds in the way have long been cut off.

Probably because of the good harvest and the smooth hunting, Duokang was in a good mood and opened his voice to roar. The others also sang along.

Many people sing together, and the momentum that erupts will have a certain deterrent effect on the nearby beasts, and no beasts will approach. They won't be so arrogant when they go out, because they don't want to drive away their prey, but when they come back, they don't have to worry about it, they can vent as much as they want.

At the "Y"-shaped intersection, the people of the Taihe tribe were carrying their hunting prey onto the shared road. When they heard the singing from the Yanjiao side, the leader of the team was stunned, "Why? Met them again?!"

All good moods are ruined!

"Boss... Yanjiao they..."

"Don't worry about it!" The leader of the team said with a blank face, "Keep going, when they don't exist!"

However, the presence of people in Yanjiao is too strong, and it is not easy to ignore them.

When the people from Yanjiao walked from the other fork to the common aisle, the two teams also met.

Dokang glanced at the prey brought by the Taihe team, and made two strange laughs of "hehe".

Tai He's team leader's face immediately became cold: "Why, look down on it?"

"Oh, hey, how can there be, I don't look down on it, I really don't." Duo Kang said, turned his head and scolded the back: "Doli, take your prey and go quickly! With that little prey, you are still walking so slowly. !"

The people behind didn't say a word, and seemed to form a tacit understanding. After Duokang said this, Shao Xuan found that the spirits of the people in the team were shaken, and then saw Duoli and the others carrying the bone stone beast, hurried forward, and walked to the front of the team.

Seeing the huge bone stone beast, the people on the Taihe side were also dumbfounded, and the leader's face twitched hard, and his face turned green.

Shao Xuan was also happy when he saw this, and quickly chased after him with his prey on his back.

Over there, the leader of the Taihe tribe hunting team was about to stab a few words back, when he heard an "ah" behind him, making him forget what he wanted to say.

"Ah what?!" The leader turned his head and roared.

Ignoring the leader's ugly face, a young warrior jumped out and pointed at Shao Xuan: "The leader! It's him!" If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
