The word "going home" is simple, but the process and hardship of going home are unbearable, especially the wind and snow. On this return trip, in addition to the 300 kilograms of tools, there were also nearly 600 kilograms of copper plates smelted in the mine in ten days.

This time home, excluding the five people left here by the fox and the white fang, the other 28 people, including Ding Qi, have snow plows, which are evenly distributed to each snow plow is about 32 kilograms, plus everyone's own backpack and at least five days' food, each person's weight will exceed 50 kilograms, which is relatively heavy.

Moreover, the return party also included 14 adult women and 8 boys and girls, which was also a big burden.

Therefore, the whole process of going home has to be taken lightly, and even has to be energetic.

For the captain of the White Fang squad who stayed behind, Ding Qi only gave one sentence, in case of an emergency, try to maintain vitality, don't die, and leave a useful body to come back to report the news. Slaves and other mines can be abandoned, but several of them must go back intact. This made White Fang gratefully messed up and cried as if he were saying goodbye, but it also made everyone laugh at him.

As for the warmth and snowshoeing shoes for the 22 women and children, they were also made by the 14 women under the guidance of the team members. These women were probably between fifteen or sixteen and thirty-five years old, and most of them were young and middle-aged, and after getting used to snowwalking shoes, they gradually increased their speed to keep up with the speed of a hunting party.

On the way back with Ding Qi, some changes have also taken place in the Ding tribe, which can be described as changing with each passing day.

Moo and Feng led the strict implementation of Ding Qi's previous requirements, leading the two team members to exercise their physique in the snow, strengthen their combat skills, and integrate fighting skills and bayonet fighting skills into their daily training. Sometimes, in order to exercise everyone's will, they even stripped off their shirts and trained in the snow for martial arts, and the cold snow, biting cold wind, and backup support tempered their physique to perseverance.

According to the 21st century, the room temperature outside has dropped to minus 30 degrees, which is about the same as the daily temperature in January and February in Mohe, the northernmost part of Heilongjiang in Northeast China. But this group of men and women are not afraid at all, and they will step on skis and gallop on the snowfield every day, one is to exercise and practice skiing skills, and the other is to patrol the surroundings to drive away some potential dangers such as predators.

On this day, when the two hunting teams were patrolling the snowfields to the west under the leadership of Feng and Moo, the rumbling sound came from the mountains to the north, and from time to time there were earth-shattering beast roars.

Ou~Ou~

The earth-shattering momentum made the two teams a little frightened, I don't know what animal caused such a big noise, I don't know if it will be the voice of the same kind of Xiao Hei that the leader once talked about. But judging from the roar of the other party, it should not be the kind of animal that called a horse.

Just when they were in doubt, they saw a large area of mist rising from the jungle below the mountain, and a large gray and black mass drifted south along the mountain wind, breaking the calm of this snowfield.

After a while, I saw a deer with horns rushing down the snow in a loose forest. Looking at them, they seem to be a little panicked, as if there are carnivores chasing them behind

。 The deer are tall, about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulders and two meters long, with a pair of branch-like horns on the top of their heads, up to 1.5 meters wide, and the smallest one is one meter long. If Tinch had been here, he would have been able to call out the name of the animal - the reindeer.

Reindeer are very different from horned deer, their horns bend forward along their bodies and grow like branches, growing both male and female.

In primitive times, the horned deer was taller than the reindeer, had a somewhat irritable temperament, and did not like to approach other animals. Moreover, they have a pair of large horns like a fan, like the palm of a human hand, with a whole piece in the middle, and five or six sharp horns grow at the top. Male deer have horns, and female deer have no horns.

Large horns grow on both sides, reaching widths of 2.5 meters or even three meters, making them a formidable weapon against enemies. This is the kind of horned deer they killed before, because the horns are too large, they can only forage for food in the open savanna jungle or grassland, and as for the dense jungle, it can only become the place where they die.

Seeing the group of animals rushing over, Wind and Moo hurriedly asked the two teams to get out of the way of the group of deer, so as not to stand in front of them and be injured by the group of animals.

Just as they were standing on the side, a sharp-eyed member pointed behind the deer and shouted:

"Look, wolf! The wolf is chasing after them! ”

Under his reminder, everyone turned their eyes to the back of the deer. I saw a dozen gray wolves chasing after this group of herbivores, and from time to time a wolf rushed forward and pounced, breaking up the formation of the reindeer, trying to drive out the old and frail deer in the herd and hasten their demise.

As for whether there are more wolves behind the pack, it is not known for the time being, but for the hunting team, this pack of wolves must be eliminated or driven away. Although they don't know if the unknown deer in front of them will bring harm to the tribe, they know that most deer will not threaten people's lives, and it is too late to hide, let alone get close to humans.

So, the two squads know how to deal with it. Everyone stepped on their skis and rushed towards the wolves behind the deer, and when they came into range, they would shoot their arrows at the greedy wolves.

This group of wolves follows the trajectory of the reindeer to develop and grow themselves, they wander around the deer herd, eat the weak in the deer herd, and help the deer herd clean up the old, weak, sick and disabled in the herd while surviving, so that the deer herd can develop healthier.

But just as they drove the deer according to the usual hunting method, the big bad wolf running in front fell to the ground one by one, and came into close contact with the snow.

With a click, the wolf's neck rolled forward with its body and twisted instantly, and when the body stopped on the snow, its limbs didn't even tremble, and it didn't even let out a mournful scream, and died directly.

But this gray wolf can be regarded as a little contribution to his own clan before he dies, that is, he uses his fall to the ground to inform the clan to be careful of the enemy.

When the running wolves saw the big bad wolf in the lead fall to the ground, they were so frightened that they quickly gathered in the middle, and at the same time looked around to find out what had hurt their companions.

But just as they were searching, a wave of feathered arrows with stone arrows swooped down from the sky and struck the wolves.

Puff puff

The arrow pierced into the flesh, scaring the wolves that had gathered together into all directions

Fleeing, nearly two-thirds of the wolves were laid down in an instant, and the remaining five or six wolves finally saw who was attacking them.

Humans, those abominable humans!

But the wolves beside them, who had fallen and roared in the snow, put that fear of the unknown on them and magnified it, causing them to flee with their tails between their legs and join their own army.

Seeing five or six wolves fleeing, the two squads let out cheers, satisfied with their recent training. The fact that the weapons in their hands can kill or drive away animals that they were afraid of before undoubtedly give them a lot of confidence. Everyone complimented each other, not realizing that the five or six wolves had only run a certain distance before they stopped, and scattered and lurked on the black snowfield.

After running for some distance and feeling that there were no nervous wolves behind them, the deer gradually slowed down and began to dig through the snow around them in search of delicious forage below.

Since the tribe had plenty of food, and had just hunted a dozen wolves from nowhere, and they had more food reserves, they didn't care about this strange group of deer, and dragged the wolf corpses back to the tribe one by one or only two by one, shedding a lot of blood along the way, which became a very obvious signpost for the five or six lurking wolves, pointing directly at the Ding tribe. Neither Wind nor Moo nor the rest of the team thought that they should clean up and bury the animal's blood before coming out to play.

And the group of deer behind them probably knew that those humans had saved their own race, so they liked to approach other animals, and after turning over the snow field and eating their beloved forage, they were led by the reindeer leader to go in the direction of Dingbe, and in their instinct, they thought that human behavior was worthy of their trust.

The hunting team members returned with a full load, which set off a small wave of hunting heroes returning in the tribe and everyone came forward to express their condolences and praise. And the people in the courtyard didn't notice that their tribe was about to welcome two groups of friends, one good and one evil!

And the tribesman standing on the lookout did not look outside, he was attracted by the cheers of the people below, and he did not notice at all that there were five or six gray spots lurking on the black snow and were already very close to the tribe. And the color of the fur on the reindeer is also similar to that of the black snow, hiding their body in the snow, making it impossible to distinguish them.

In the tribe, the cheers gradually subsided, and everyone went back to their respective posts to get busy. The team members showed their own skills, while skinning and decomposing the carcasses of gray wolves, while joking with each other, talking about the scene when hunting wolves today, the atmosphere was relaxed.

But before the support team could prepare the food, the little cutie lying on the branch outside the courtyard suddenly shook her ears, and saw a wolf crawling on the edge of the bamboo forest not far away, sneaking outside the tribal courtyard wall, looking in the direction of passing under the big tree she was in.

The little cutie didn't make a sound, for this kind of natural enemy information integrated into the blood, the lynx clan would never give up the opportunity to kill the lone wolf, slowly arched their bodies, jumped up from the branches, and pounced on the gray wolf under the tree, waving their claws, the sharp teeth in the mouth had already bitten the wolf's neck tightly, so that the other party would not have a chance to escape.

But the wolf that was suddenly attacked did not sit still, roared, suddenly flipped his body, and scratched the unknown enemy on his body with his four paws, trying to break himself away from the opponent's sharp teeth.
