Chapter 237: The Bait of the Living!(Subscription Requested!)
"It's the totem warriors who are running out of food. ”
Looking at Lin Luo, whose face was full of astonishment, the fox witch opened his mouth to explain to him.
Food for totemic warriors?
Hearing this, Lin Luo's face showed a sudden expression.
Because of the huge amount of food, if you only eat ordinary food, the consumption will be very large.
Therefore, the main food that totem warriors usually eat is the flesh and blood of fierce beasts.
In the two days before the flood, all the totemic warriors went out to the jungle to hunt the beasts.
However, the fierce beast's perception of danger was several times stronger than that of ordinary beasts, and they had already sensed that danger was coming, and they fled and hid.
Therefore, the beasts they hunted in those two days were only four or five.
"How long will that last?"
Lin Luo immediately asked out loud.
"It can only last for another ten days at most. ”
Chief Bamboo replied to Lin Luo.
The totem warriors of the two clans of Bamboo and Fox combined, it is not a small number.
In addition, there are also fierce beast-level war pets like Zixiao, who consume a lot of flesh and blood of fierce beasts every day.
"Ten days?"
Hearing this, Lin Luo suddenly frowned.
Now, only 10 days have passed since the flood broke out, and counting the 10 days that can still be supported, it will only be 20 days when the flood is full.
However, it will take at least two months for the flood to recede, and no matter how much they save, they will not be able to last that long.
As for getting the totem warriors to eat ordinary food instead, it's even more impossible.
The number of ordinary prey is not very large, and it is also very tense to support more than 1,000 people through the two-month flood period.
If you add totem warriors with big appetites, you will have to sacrifice more than half of your clansmen to do it.
"Spirit, how did you survive the last great flood?"
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Lin Luo, who had no clue about getting food, could only turn his head to look at the Red Fox Spirit.
They both lived through the Great Flood more than 200 years ago, and both tribes survived the flood, proving that they must have had a way to get food during the flood.
"Bamboo Spirit, it's up to you!"
In response to Lin Luo's inquiry, the Red Fox Spirit turned his head to look at the rhizome of the Purple Bamboo Spirit.
"Good. ”
Hearing this, Zizhu Ling's rhizome nodded slightly, and said, "During the Great Flood, the only way to obtain food is to hunt fish and water beasts in the flood. ”
"Do you have a way to hunt in the flood?"
Hearing Zizhu Ling's answer, Lin Luo suddenly asked with a surprised face.
Hunt fish in the water!
Lin Luo didn't think of this, but he couldn't think of an effective hunting method for a while.
After all, it's not the same as when they caught it in the dead season.
Fish don't jump out of the flood for oxygen, as they do in the winter.
In the water, those fish and water beasts swim quickly and strongly, and the nets woven with vines cannot trap them at all.
It is even more impractical to use a fishing rod, because there is no suitable material to use as a fishing line on Zhushan, which is trapped on an isolated island.
What's more, there are powerful beasts lurking in the flood, and if you stay near the water for too long, you are very likely to be attacked by them.
Therefore, considering the dangerous environment and the fact that the two most common fishing methods could not be realized, Lin Luo reluctantly gave up the idea of killing fish.
Unexpectedly, Zizhuling actually gave such an answer.
This made Lin Luo very curious, what kind of method would Zizhu Ling use to hunt and kill those ferocious fish in the flood.
"Use the old and weak people as bait, and let the warriors lurk around, waiting for an opportunity to hunt and kill. ”
In Lin Luo's expectant gaze, Zizhu Ling's deep voice sounded.
“......”
Hearing this answer, the expression on Lin Luo's face instantly froze.
Obviously, this was not the answer he was expecting.
Bait!
This descriptive word has made it clear that it is necessary to sacrifice the old and weak people for food.
After all, hunting fish in a flood is an extremely difficult thing to do.
If you want to succeed, you have to find a way to attract them out of the water.
The attraction must use bait, and on this besieged island, the best bait is naturally human.
Therefore, in the end, even if the hunt is successful, those who use it as bait will suffer great harm and even death.
"It turns out that among those people of the Tiger Tribe, more than twenty people can be selected as bait. ”
While Lin Luo was secretly thinking to himself, the fox witch had already spoken.
"Among the totem warriors of the Bamboo Clan, there are also three totem warriors who cannot hunt fierce beasts that can be used as bait. ”
Bamboo Witch's voice was slightly hoarse.
Obviously, they already knew about such a brutal hunting method.
It turns out that those people of the Tiger Tribe are all slaves with the lowest status, and when they need to be sacrificed, they will naturally be the first to be pushed out.
As for what Zhu Wu said, the three totem warriors who couldn't hunt fierce beasts, Lin Luo also knew them.
The three were severely disabled in the battle with the Tiger Tribe, two had their arms cut off, and one had his right leg torn off by a saber-toothed tiger.
If it weren't for the extraordinary physical fitness of the totem warriors and the healing of the purple bamboo spirit's spiritual fluid, they wouldn't have survived at all.
Although as a totem warrior, even if he is disabled, he can do more than ordinary people, but it is also an indisputable fact that he will not be able to hunt fierce beasts in the dense forest in the future.
Therefore, for the sake of the survival of the tribal alliance, Bamboo Witch can only make the decision to sacrifice them painfully.
Because, what the tribal alliance lacks most now is the flesh and blood of the fierce beast, and the IQ of the fierce beast is not low, and it is rarely tempted by ordinary humans.
Therefore, if you want to lure them out of the water and attack, you must use totem warriors as bait.
"Lin Luo, do you have anything to say about this matter?"
After the two witches finished speaking, Zizhu Ling's rhizome twisted towards Lin Luo's side and asked him.
"Nope. ”
Lin Luo shook his head bitterly.
Now, apart from the method Zizhu Ling said, he couldn't think of any other good way.
Although he knew that this method was cruel, for the sake of the survival of the tribal alliance, he could only reluctantly choose to accept it.
After all, his wisdom is not a panacea, and in this primitive world of survival of the fittest, only by becoming strong can you have more options.
But after finishing speaking, Lin Luo immediately continued: "However, I hope that the time of the hunt can be delayed by three days. ”
"Three days delayed?
Zizhu Ling asked puzzled.
"I'm going to forge some special weapons for this hunt. ”
Lin Luo replied aloud.
"Yes, you can. ”
Hearing this, Zizhu Ling directly tapped the rhizome and agreed.
Lin Luo then turned his head to look at Zizhu Ling's rhizome and continued, "Also, I hope you can give me something. ”
"Something, what?"
Zizhu Ling asked in a curious tone.
