Chapter 98 (1/2)

There are no large East-West mountains in North America. All the large mountains in the whole continent are almost north-south. Therefore, the cold air mass originating from the northernmost tip of North America will go all the way south smoothly. Moreover, because there are no mountains in the middle, the cold air will even reach the Gulf of Mexico!

Therefore, even if the location of Dawu Mountain is already in the southeast of the North American continent, a sudden cold wave still makes snowflakes here.

Shi Xiong lived in the hilly area in the hinterland of North China Plain in his previous life. In the north is the Yellow River, and in the south is the head of the famous five mountains.

It is said that in this latitude, it snows heavily every winter. However, with the continuous warming of the global climate, there are only a few snowflakes in the whole North China Plain every year. In some years, there is no snowflake in winter.

But after stone bear came to gaoshu tribe in 1764, he saw the biggest snow in his life.

Stone bear has never seen such a big snowflake in his past and present life. It's not enough to use goose hair and heavy snow to describe this kind of snowflake. This kind of snowflake is as big as a child's palm. It's just a piece of snow!

The roaring north wind mixed with countless snow flakes falling from the sky, just a short meal of effort, the whole world in addition to white can no longer see other colors.

More than 40 bison captured and domesticated in the tribe also stayed in the cowshed honestly. Thanks to the common use of cow nose ring, the task of taming bison became more and more easy.

In fact, it's not that bison can't be tamed. On the contrary, bison is very tamable.

The reason why we didn't hear about the North American Indians taming bison in the original historical time and space is that these North American Indians didn't have to tame bison. Before the Europeans came to the North American continent, most of the North American Indians did not engage in farming, and a few of the Indian tribes engaged in farming only adopted the most rugged farming method. Moreover, without iron farming tools, they did not need large livestock.

So before the Europeans came to the American continent, there was really no one in North America to tame bison, because there was no need.

When the Europeans arrived in North America, they brought domesticated cattle, which spread wildly on the continent. With tame cattle to raise, who has nothing to do with catching bison and then domesticating it?

As a result, the bison species became a thoroughly pathetic species, and eventually was almost extinct by those European colonists

But now, gaoshu tribe, which is preparing to dig deep and accumulate food, has a high demand for large animals. With more and more domesticated bison, the tribe also realizes the correctness of the saying that ”it's much safer to raise bison and kill meat than to go out and kill bison”.

Although the tribe has not been willing to kill a tame bison, no one is a fool. Anyone can see that with more and more tame bison, there will be more and more surplus bison killed to eat meat.

It's much safer to kill a tame bison than to go out and hunt it in the wild

Although it's dangerous to catch bison, who cares about that at this time?

It's quite spectacular for more than 40 domesticated bison to stay in the cowshed. However, these tamed ox demons are no longer arrogant and fierce at this time.
