Chapter 159: Hunting
Everyone knows that the demon tribe is much stronger than the human race, and the road is far away, as the heavenly oracle said, if they want to go to the demon tribe, with their current strength, they will definitely encounter a lot of dangers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even Mei Xue, who is a demon clan, can't help but show a worried look.
The winter festival is held before the beginning of winter, and now that the weather is a little cooler, it is not far from winter.
The oracle went to ask Joe, who told him that they had already begun preparations for the Winter Sacrifice ceremony, which was expected to take place in two and a half months. The team that invited the witches and demons was already on the road, and the hunting party had recently increased the number of hunts, the women were busy pickling and storing the prey, and the stonesmiths of the tribe were busy making stone tools from morning to night.
Because of their identities as sorcerers, Heavenly Oracle and Chirong were left in the tribe, occasionally participating in some small sacrificial ceremonies, helping the tribe chant blessings, and the content of the prayers was nothing more than more food, fewer casualties and so on.
It's almost winter, and there are more of these small ceremonies.
Primitive people have an unusual fear of winter, because winter means no food, they can only curl up in the house, eat some pickled food, and then sleep, it is too cold outside the house, and there may even be hungry beasts such as wolves coming down the mountain to find food, so it is still a little dangerous to go out.
Winter in the tribe is very boring, people do not go out without important things, the men usually make stone tools at home, sharpen knives and so on, and women sew animal skin clothes for their husbands and children, and make animal bone necklaces for themselves. Children are the most boring, and those with parents are still there, talking and chatting.
Children without parents live in collective huts, and they sleep every day in addition to eating, and sometimes they can only carry it when they are sick and feverish, and they will die if they can't carry it. In order to save trouble, the people of the tribe would give these orphans half a month's food at a time, and sometimes the distribution was uneven, and the children without food would starve to death.
These situations are all known from the population of the tribe, Ye Qianxun and the others have been in the tribe for a while, and there is a professor of heavenly oracle, and they can already speak some simple primitive languages.
Although there are two wizards in the Heavenly Oracle and Chirong, the people in the tribe are extremely disgusted with lazy behavior, so Ye Qianxun and they can't eat and drink for nothing all the time, and they often have to go out hunting with the hunting team.
There are a lot of wild beasts in the primeval forest, these primitive people are very experienced, they can hit a lot of prey every time they go out, their thinking is very simple, they often help each other, and the prey they hit never swallow privately, which made Ye Qianxun very moved, she was in danger several times and was saved by these primitive people.
Once, their team encountered a herd of wild elephants, Ye Qianxun was almost trampled to death by those mountain-like giant elephants, the source was nearby, but when he rushed over, the elephant's legs had been pressed down, and he was about to trample her into flesh, fortunately, at this time, a primitive man threw out a stone spear in time, which startled the giant elephant, and her legs shrunk, so that she had time to escape, otherwise it is estimated that even if she does not die, she will be crippled.
There is more than one such life-and-death moment.
The people in the tribe also persuaded her that women could not hunt, just help make food and wash clothes, and some in the tribe were idle, so Mei Xue took on a task of delivering food to orphans and teaching them to count.
However, Ye Qianxun refused this proposal without thinking about it, not that she didn't want to die, but that a voice in her heart kept telling her that she had to move so that she could make her body stronger.
In the last days, although I have experienced several battles, but there are spiritual weapons and mana, when facing the enemy, I don't really need to be how strong the physical body is, but now it is different, and there is no choice but to use rudimentary stone weapons to fight hand-to-hand.
Unconsciously, she felt that her leg strength and arm strength had increased, and her body, which used to look thin, had become strong because of long-term exercise and eating meat products, but because of the sun, her snow-white skin had unconsciously turned wheat-colored, but Ye Qianxun didn't care at all, she wanted to become white, and there was a way to go out, as an alchemist, not to mention such a trivial thing as turning white, it was a pill to fix her face, and she could still refine it.
Two months have passed in a flash, and Ye Qianxun and the others have upgraded from novice hunters to skilled hunters, perhaps because of their cultivation, their physical foundation is much better than that of the indigenous primitives, and their reaction ability is much faster. So after a period of training, they hunted more food than the totemic warriors in the hunting team.
The totem warriors are chanted by wizards, and the powerful totem power is awakened, and the symbol of the totem warriors of the Shenlong tribe is the appearance of a dragon pattern on their bodies. Because most of the tribe is the bloodline of the Divine Dragon Clan, the probability of awakening the Divine Dragon Totem is very high, and after the power of the bloodline awakens, the speed and strength of the body will increase a lot.
There were not many women in the hunting team, only seven or eight in total, so Ye Qianxun quickly stood out, which made Chief Qiao very satisfied, and at the same time, he was very proud of his decision to keep them in the first place, knowing that he had recruited two wizards, three warriors, and a powerful tamer at once.
There are even many young men in the tribe who are secretly moved by Ye Qianxun and Mei Xue, especially Ye Qianxun, which arouses their desire to conquer even more.
The winter ritual is still in full swing, with the arrival of winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the number of hunting teams is getting less and less.
Although the Shenlong tribe claims to be the first tribe of the human race, there are only two people who are proficient in stone tool polishing, one of them is called Xin, an old stonemason with twenty years of experience in refining weapons, and he was also a totem warrior, and his legs were bitten off by a fierce beast during a hunt, so he could only quit the hunting team, and in order to make a living, he learned the craft of polishing stone tools, in order to be able to eat in the tribe.
Another is called Ming, is Xin's apprentice, the first to learn stone tools is because there is no awakening totem power, every time you go out hunting will be delayed, and then follow Xin to learn the craft for a period of time, Xin said that he is very talented, after being encouraged, Ming is very energetic, so he simply gave up hunting and completely devoted himself to refining.
The men of the tribe admired the brave, and the judge of the brave was the amount of prey obtained, so few people were willing to give up the work of the hunting team and learn to make stone tools.
After this period of hunting, Ye Qianxun has long been interested in the production method of primitive stone tools, which is the most primitive method of refining, although the power of refining stone tools is far less than that of spiritual weapons and magic weapons, and they are much inferior to ordinary steel weapons, but the stone is easy to carve, and the materials are easy to find, so they are used in large quantities by primitive people.
Ye Qianxun was not interested in the stone tools themselves, but in the methods of refining.
