Chapter 64 (1/2)
The hunt is about to begin.
Everyone is busy preparing.
This continent, when the rainy season comes, will become very terrible, continuous downpour for four or five months.
The flat land will be flooded by rain and become a vast ocean. The terrifying water monsters in the rivers in the lake will climb on the land and devour the land creatures.
In this case, if human beings want to survive, they can only move to the top of the mountain.
You don't have to think about hunting, because at that time, those towering trees in the jungle will be completely submerged, and the land will become a paradise for the overlord in the water, and there is no way to hunt.
Mountains will become like islands when they arrive, and people will be trapped on them, unable to walk.
So before the rainy season comes, we should store enough food. There should be enough food for the whole tribe to support four or five months without food supplement.
We should also prepare enough fur, because by the end of the rainy season, it will become very cold, so cold that two or three layers of hide will shiver.
Therefore, the transition from dry season to rainy season is very precious for every tribe.
During this period, instead of starting in the morning and coming back at night, the hunting team has to stay in the jungle for a full week until the hunted prey can no longer be brought back.
Therefore, the hunting activities during this period were called ”big hunting” by tribes.
If there is not enough time for a tribe to freeze to death, a lot of people will die in this period of time.
It is said that some tribes did not get enough prey. After a rainy season, only half of the people survived. Because of the sharp decrease in strength, they were eliminated in this dangerous continent.
Hiss, hisses.
The soldiers kept polishing their weapons to make them sharper, so that they could hunt more prey in the big hunting.
Ordinary people take advantage of today is a sunny day, holding an axe to cut trees, and then put the wood on the open space to dry. The storage of firewood is also important, because it depends on the fire to absorb heat in the late rainy season.
Li Tu's arms were bulging and pulling a piece of vine.
The vine is about the thickness of the thumb. It has been well treated. The leaves are all pulled down. At first glance, it looks like a straw rope.
This kind of vine is very tough and not easy to break. Tu Shanren takes care of it.
In daily hunting, because the prey is small, the soldiers just need to carry it on their shoulders and hands.
However, there are a lot of prey in big hunting, and it is very inconvenient to carry the prey with large or small prey. However, tenacissima can bundle all the prey together, so it will be more convenient to carry.
There are many tenacious vines piled at the foot of Lidu. Every one of them has to be tested for toughness until he is sure that each one is strong and won't lose its chain at the critical moment.
The first big hunting finally decided that the hunting team led by Pu Tai would go first.
Ye Xi was assigned to the second team, that is, Pu Tai's hunting team, so later he will officially go to the jungle to hunt as a soldier.
The soldiers of the second team of the hunting team were talking loudly while gnawing at the dried meat. They were all excited and couldn't wait to enter the jungle for a big hunt.
Because this hunting is not only to prepare for the rainy season, but more importantly, it will be the Red Grass Valley Carnival in two weeks! If you have enough prey to satisfy the woman, you are likely to abduct a partner back!
At the thought of this, all the soldiers are like fighting chicken blood. They are not excited. They are all in high spirits. The speed of eating dried meat is faster.
They thought in their minds that they must make more efforts to fight more prey. If they have a partner, they may even have children after the rainy season.
Among all the soldiers dancing and imagining the future, one of them seemed particularly silent and quiet - the mink.
He was also assigned to Putai's hunting party to enter the jungle. Now he hung his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He just kept wiping his weapon.
”Not excited, hunting in the jungle for the first time?”
Mink looked up and saw that it was Ye Xi, so he quickly replied, ”no, I'm just worried.”
”Worried?” Mink doesn't look like a coward.
Mink hesitated for a moment and then said, ”I'm worried about the people who stay in the heize tribe. They don't know if they can survive this rainy season.”
