Chapter 90: A Unique Hunt

After the heavy snowfall, the surroundings of the Daqi tribe were all white.

It's just that the arrival of snow, although it is very inconvenient for travel, is a good thing for hunters who travel through the mountains and forests.

In winter, in addition to those wild beasts that hibernate, the scarce food makes it difficult for the beasts to forage in the snowfield, and the footprints left on the snow bring great convenience to the tracking of hunters.

In the mountains and forests, several hunters in simple camouflage followed the footprints of a group of prey, and several hunting dogs beside them excitedly sniffed the scent left by the prey.

Experienced hunters can tell the type of prey from their footprints and the time they have spent here.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, the hunters knew that it was a large flock of sheep.

This is undoubtedly a great fortune for them, and of course if they do find a flock, the hunters want to have some lambs in the flock.

It is very likely that those lambs are their own, and in addition to surrendering the prey of the tribe, they have personal property, which is an incomparable temptation for them.

Several hunters discussed excitedly for a while, and led the hounds with spears and simple bows and arrows to follow the trails.

Half a day later, everyone finally found their goal.

On the slightly steep slopes, more than 30 goats rummage in the snow for plants buried under the snow.

Looking at these goats, the hunters' saliva was about to flow, and these sheep seemed to them to be moving gold coins, dazzling.

"God forbid! God bless! Brothers, we're in luck. ”

"Yes! Look at those little lambs, at least there are as many fingers as one hand, as long as you catch them all, this is ours. ”

The excited hunters bowed to the sky and began to discuss how to catch the prey.

Killing these goats is not difficult for these hunters, but it is not so easy to capture them alive.

"I think we can let the dogs chase after them first, and when the sheep panic, we ambush them before they run away."

One of the hunters excited.

"It's a good idea, but how can we catch so many sheep, I'm afraid it won't work with a few of us!"

At this time, a young hunter said, "I have a way! ”

Everyone asked, and hurriedly asked, "What's the way!" ”

The young hunter smiled and said, "We can use a rope!" ”

"Rope! What does it mean! ”

The crowd was a little puzzled.

The young hunter added: "Everyone should know that when the sheep flee, they do not flee in a scattered manner, in this case, we only need to lie in ambush on the way of the sheep, and when the sheep pass by, suddenly trip them with ropes, so that the sheep will not be in a hurry, and fall to the ground and collide, even if the sheep are damaged, but at least I can catch more live sheep." ”

Everyone pondered for a while, and said, "This is a solution, but it's a little too difficult, and the sheep won't necessarily run to the place where we are ambushed." ”

The young hunter smiled and said, "If they don't run that way, we force them to run that way, and we have so many of them now." ”

As he spoke, he spread out his right hand and stretched out one finger of his left hand.

"As long as we send out hounds and people with so many fingers."

As he spoke, he held out three more fingers.

"Pursue the sheep from several directions, the sheep are stupid and stupid, and will definitely enter the ambush, in case of accidents, order one person, cover with a catapult."

Although the strategy is a little rough, the old hunters have to be impressed by this young man.

"It's a good idea, so I'm running fast and I'm in charge of chasing the sheep!" But where do we get the rope? ”

When everyone heard this, they realized that they had ignored the biggest loophole in the plan, and that was that they didn't have a rope.

The young hunter smiled at this time: "Rope? Aren't there a lot of them around us? ”

Everyone was a little puzzled, looked around, and suddenly became confused.

"Look at my head, I actually forgot about these vines."

After making sure that everything was ready, everyone discussed and decided on their respective responsibilities.

He began to collect vines to make ropes.

Although the vines wrapped around the tree look dry and can be broken with a slight force, in fact, there is a lot of water stored under the dry skin, and it is not easy to break them.

With a stone axe, he reluctantly made a bunch of vines, so that he could connect the vines one by one.

The sheep going up the mountain are unaware of the sneaky humans below, throwing themselves into the snow and digging through the snow in search of delicious rhizomes.

Holding the pursuing hunters, the hounds approached the sheep from three directions.

These seasoned hunters, who know how not to alert their prey, lurk in the snow like tigers waiting for an opportunity.

The hunters soothed the restless hounds and waited patiently for the time to come.

After the ambush at the foot of the mountain was ready, with a crisp whistle, the two hounds, who had long been unable to hold back, instantly broke free from their restraints and pounced on the sheep like the wind.

Hunting is like a chase game for hounds, and the appearance of hounds instantly makes the sheep panic and run in one direction.

But the way they fled had been blocked by the cunning humans, and in the face of the screaming two-legged beasts, the sheep immediately turned around and fled towards the only way out.

The little lamb who fell behind was bleating in panic, and the ewe responded anxiously, hoping that her child would run faster.

At the hunter's whistle, the hound flanked the flanks like a shepherd dog, cutting off the rest of the flock's retreat.

Looking at the prey that was getting closer and closer to the ambush, the hearts of several people under the mountain almost rose to their throats.

In the face of the flock of sheep coming wildly, the slightest carelessness will be trampled to death here.

The young hunter looked at the stake nailed into the snow, and the hand holding the vine was no longer listening.

This plan was too risky, even if I was fully prepared, but in the face of dozens of sheep, the terrible impact of rushing down, I realized how crazy I was.

He pinched his trembling hand hard, tried to calm himself down, lay down in the snow, and cleaned up his companion on the other side.

After seeing each other nodding, the young hunter took a deep breath and waited for the arrival of his prey.

The panicked sheep did not notice the danger ahead, and under the leadership of the head sheep, they rushed directly to the vines.

The young man knew that the opportunity had come, and if this opportunity was missed, the hunt would be a complete failure.

Roared: "Pull! ”

Moment!

The vines buried in the snow catapulted up, and by the pull of the stakes, the vines were stretched straight, and in order to prevent the sheep from jumping over the vines, the vines were pulled up half a man's height.

In the face of the sudden appearance of obstacles, the sheep have no time to dodge.

The young man only felt a huge force coming, if it wasn't for the stake buried in the ground, he would have been dragged to the ground by this blow at this moment.
