Chapter 518 Hunting
The Tianhuang tribe gathered more than a dozen hunting teams.
After the sacrificial ceremonies of the witches and shamans, more than a dozen teams set out from all directions and rushed to the primitive mountains and forests outside the plateau.
Soon, the innate human race and the acquired human race will unite to fight against the increasingly powerful primitive beasts.
The Tianhuang tribe has a large population and needs to store more food in order to survive the coming severe winter and to have enough supplies for the upcoming war.
Therefore, this hunting is of vital importance to the Tianhuang tribe.
Leaving the plateau and heading towards the primeval forest.
Hearing the soldiers in the team mention the severe winter, all of them looked distressed and worried, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask:
"Winter is... scary?"
In Li Yuan's instinct, there is no emotional fluctuation regarding the changes of the four seasons.
But the people of the Tianhuang tribe seemed to be very wary, even to the point of being afraid.
In the team, several strong and middle-aged warriors glanced at him with a little dissatisfaction, as if they had some tragic past in the severe winter.
However, thinking that Li Yuan had forgotten a lot of things after waking up, the soldiers did not blame him.
Jiang Shi led the way, with the female warrior following closely behind.
Seeing that they had not yet reached the depths of the primeval forest, the soldiers slowly began to explain to Li Yuan.
"In the dead of winter, the sun disappears. It disappears completely."
They pointed toward heaven in awe.
"The sun god needs to rest. He will not shine on us again in the harsh winter of the coming year."
"The only one who accompanies us is the Bright Moon God."
The warriors of the Tianhuang tribe are extremely respectful and worshipful towards the innate gods and chaotic gods and demons.
It is regarded as a totem and people gain divine power by believing in it.
"In the dead of winter, the power of the totem cannot reach us."
"The ice will freeze everything, and even fire will not be able to start. Everything will wither, and we will have nothing to eat and will starve to death."
"In the past, in order to avoid starvation, we ate people who had frozen to death."
The soldiers' words were simple, but they seemed to express the most extreme helplessness.
"So, before the severe winter comes, we must prepare enough food to ensure that the fire never goes out."
"It's possible to survive."
The burly warrior who had previously signaled Li Yuan by beating his chest sighed.
Li Yuan stood between them, only reaching their waists, and looked extremely thin.
"You, the acquired human race, have weak bodies. It is more difficult for you to survive in the severe winter than us."
The old soldier in the team also sighed and told Li Yuan some of the tragic scenes he had seen.
When the severe winter comes, the tribes of the Xiantian human race always suffer heavy casualties.
But life was even more difficult for the human race, and there were many cases where entire tribes were wiped out in the severe winter.
Li Yuan was silent for a moment: "Sorry, I may have forgotten these things."
He forgot a lot of things and thought he was also an acquired human from the 'outside world'.
The soldiers didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder and continued to move towards the depths of the primeval forest.
The leaves are dense, each one is bigger than the palm of your hand.
The towering trees grow almost hundreds of meters high.
The color of green occupies everything in sight.
A hunting team of more than a dozen people moved through the dense forest like a few ants sneaking across the green ocean.
The Tianhuang tribe never over-hunts creatures near the tribe.
Therefore, the hunting team walked deeper and deeper, very carefully, and only stopped after two days and two nights.
Jiang Shi stood in front, bending down and stroking a mottled stone tablet.
The stone tablet seemed like some kind of signal, telling the hunting team that they had arrived at the hunting ground.
The team rested for a while, ate some dry food they brought with them, and found some water.
"Severe winter is coming. Now is the time when '兏' are active. Our target today is them."
"However, there should be a lot of poisonous things in the forest. Everyone should remember to pick some green hemp leaves for self-defense. Be careful."
"If there is any danger, call me immediately."
"If you were seriously injured before the severe winter...you all understand."
Jiang Shi gathered the hunting team, made a detailed plan, and set up a huge encirclement.
When hunting, Jiang Shi was no longer as calm as usual, and looked domineering and confident.
But the members of the hunting team were very obedient, knowing that at this moment, no second voice was allowed.
Li Yuan was also assigned a task, which was to block the western part of the forest to prevent the culprit from escaping from there.
"兏?"
Li Yuan felt extremely unfamiliar with many of the names of the creatures in this place.
Jiang Shi took a few people and started searching for and driving away the wolf in the woods.
And while there is still time.
The burly man quickly explained to Li Yuan.
"It has thick fur, six legs, two heads, and is dark in color, but it tastes delicious!"
"When they go crazy, they can easily bite people to death. If they run to your place, hide away!"
The burly man plucked a handful of leaves, crushed them in his palms, and began to smear the juice on his body.
Then, holding the stone spear, he plunged into the dense forest.
With the blessing of divine power, their speed and strength are amazing.
However, in Li Yuan's opinion, it is still in an extremely rough state of use.
He knew he shouldn't have such thoughts, but for some reason, he felt that way.
Clearing away the random thoughts in his mind, Li Yuan also went to the place that had been arranged previously.
Crouching among the grass, he waited.
It didn't take long.
From a forest in the distance, there was a sound of trees shaking and branches scraping.
There was a lot of noise, accompanied by the sound of chaotic and heavy running.
Puff——!
The dense grass was torn apart in an instant, and several six-legged creatures five or six meters tall rushed out.
"Wai!"
Behind these beasts, Jiang Shi and several soldiers were chasing them relentlessly, roaring loudly, and the sound shook the forest and was very penetrating.
Following the order, several soldiers jumped out from the grass, with a faint light wrapped around their bodies.
"Drink!"
Several soldiers roared, the sound was like thunder, and scared the monsters so much that they ran in the other direction.
Although their size was not as big as these giant beasts, they had already experienced Jiang Shi's power and did not dare to resist at will.
Several soldiers forced the wolfs toward the encirclement.
Jiang Shi also ran out of the dense forest, covered in blood, all of which was the blood of those wolfen.
His hair was dishevelled, his sturdy arms seemed like cast iron, he was filled with boundless strength, and his entire body exuded a barbaric savagery.
He chased after it quickly, and seeing a huge tree blocking his way, he used his divine power to rush forward and crashed into it!
The tree trunk that two or three people couldn't even hug together was broken by brute force!
Jiang Shi rushed forward, knowing that the huge noise had alarmed the entire forest, and his pace became faster and faster.
It almost turned into a gust of wind, shuttling through the mountains and forests.
"Hun! Hunt!"
Seeing Tu running to a suitable open area, Jiang Shi shouted twice again.
Except for Li Yuan and another soldier who were guarding the left and right sides.
The remaining members of the hunting team also quickly jumped out from their crouching points and began to surround and kill the wolfs.
This time the hunt went relatively smoothly.
As long as we can take these monsters away before those terrifying primitive beasts are attracted, today's hunting target will have a perfect ending.
Several wolves panicked and were blocked by the hunting team with no way to escape, so they began to circle in the open area.
The warriors continued to throw stone spears or long guns, which were attached with divine essence and penetrated the thick skin, constantly consuming the vitality of the monster.
Li Yuan squatted somewhere in the west and waited for a long time, but did not see anything rushing towards him.
I understood in my heart: the hunting team led by Jiang Shi is experienced and has a reasonable division of labor.
It seemed that he was asked to ambush and guard the prey's retreat route, but in fact it was a deliberate care to prevent him from being injured by the prey due to his lack of experience.
Listening to the faint noise, Li Yuan guessed that it was basically done, so he stood up from the grass.
But when he stood up, he found that there was a creature on the tree above his head staring at him for a long time.
There was still fishy-smelling saliva secreted from his mouth.
Its head resembles that of a monkey and a bat, its eyes are red, its body is slender, about two or three meters long, and its claws are extremely sharp.
Li Yuan looked up and was stunned at the strange-looking creature.
There was no fear or worry in his instinct.
It was as if he knew deep down in his bones that such primitive creatures could not pose a threat to him.
Li Yuan stood under the tree, staring at the creature, and confronted it for a long time.
He knew that the burly man had said: The skin of the 兏 is very thick and the meat is very delicious.
But he knew nothing about this creature that looked like both a monkey and a bat.
"Um...are you tasty?"
So he scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.
