A group of primitive people ran away, and disappeared into the cave in a moment.

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, he was angry and funny about this, and scooped a basin of water in the river, but it was good after their tossing, lest he have to pick up a stone and smash the ice.

Back at the tribe, he sprinkled the basin of water on the ground, and the dust was finally not so heavy. He put the clay pot back in its place, and looked at the primitive people shivering from the cold, wondering how they came up with the idea of running into the river to bathe in the middle of winter. So he asked them, "There is pottery in the tribe, and there is a lot of wood, why don't you boil some hot water?" ”

A primitive man replied, "The clay pot is too small, and it is not as pleasant to wash it as it is in the river." ”

Ye Feng was speechless, it turned out to be such an answer, but he thought about it. Primitive people are rough in nature, and if they want to wash in a clay pot with hot water little by little, it will only make them feel depressed, so it is better to let them wash in the cold river water.

Ye Feng asked people to prepare more than a dozen clay pots, boiled a basin of hot water for these people in turn, and then left them alone.

"Chief! Sheik! Big things are wrong! A thin lover shouted at Taba from afar, looking anxious.

This person passed by Ye Feng, and Ye Feng immediately recognized that person, he was the person who was his turn to stand guard today. Looking at his anxious appearance, could something be wrong? Ye Feng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed, wanting to see what was going on.

Taba was counting the food of the tribe at this time, and when he heard this voice, he chuckled in his heart, and immediately greeted the man standing guard.

Taba asked, "What's going on, so urgent!" ”

The man leaned over his body, holding his waist with one hand and his chest with the other, and gasped and said, "Chief...... Whew, the proboscis is coming! ”

Taba's face suddenly became extremely serious, and he asked again with confirmation, "Proboscis Beast?" Are you sure? ”

The man nodded and said, "I'm sure, it's not wrong, I saw it with my own eyes, and I looked at it a few more times to confirm that it was it." ”

Ye Feng, who was catching up behind, happened to hear their conversation and knew what was happening, but what was the proboscis beast they were talking about, Ye Feng opened his mouth and asked, "What proboscis beast?" ”

Seeing Ye Feng coming, the serious look on his face relaxed a lot, and he said to his clothes: "The proboscis beast has a long nose, long teeth, very big ears, and a very tall body, as tall as two or three of us........."

According to Duoye's description, Ye Feng thought of a prehistoric giant beast - a mammoth.

A mature mammoth has a body length of 6 meters, a body height of about 4 meters, a length of about 1.5 meters for its incisors, and a weight of 8~10 tons, or even larger, about three times the size of a modern elephant. It is covered with fine long hair, and its skin is very thick, with an extremely thick fat layer, which can be up to 9 centimeters thick, and was one of the objects of prehistoric man's hunting.

Taba continued, "We have plenty of food, so we don't have to catch them, but I'm not willing to let go of so much meat. ”

Ye Feng didn't expect that Duoye had the intention of capturing mammoths, he was not too surprised, because the demise of mammoths was also due to the hunting of some humans, and it was still very normal for people in this period to hunt mammoths.

Ye Feng thought about it, the tribe's food was sufficient, and it was no problem to eat until spring came. As long as spring begins, everything recovers, and the animals become very active, hunting will be easier, and the harvest will be larger, but it will require a lot of manpower.

Ye Feng is ready to speed up the development of the tribe when spring is opened, the malachite that the rock tribe mortgages to them makes him eager to get the metal, the range of action of the primitive people will not be too wide, even if it is a tribe like the rock tribe that travels far to trade, it will not exceed the range of a hundred kilometers, so he judged that this copper mine may be relatively close to them, but he just doesn't know its location.

Therefore, a lot of manpower will be needed, and the manpower on the hunting side will be reduced. At the beginning of spring, people's food problems will become more and more serious, and at this time, there are so many large pieces of meat sent to the door, which can solve the urgent need, how can you let it go.

So Ye Feng said to Duoye: "I think it is still necessary to hunt these mammoths and keep them for the beginning of spring, when I need a large number of people, the hunting manpower will not be allocated too much, and the access to food may be affected." ”

Duoye didn't understand what Ye Feng wanted a large number of people to do, because of Ye Feng's total miraculous performance since joining the tribe, he still nodded trustingly, and said, "Okay, let's think of ways to minimize casualties." ”

"There will be casualties?" Ye Feng was stunned at this time, he didn't expect that there would be casualties, in his understanding, this kind of big man should be slow to react and move slowly, and it is very easy to hunt.

Taha nodded and said, "That's right, it's very dangerous, it's very short-tempered, they will fence the cubs, so you can't hunt the weakest cubs, so you have to hunt the adults, as long as you provoke it, he will rush at you regardless of it, it will roll you up with its nose, throw you into the sky, and throw you to death." Or it pierces your body with its long teeth, or it smits on your head with a slight step on its foot, in short, it is very dangerous, and tribes that do not have a certain strength will never dare to hunt it. If it had been in our previous strength, I would have led my people away from them as long as I saw it. ”

Hearing how far away he said, Ye Feng fell into deep thought, so it seemed that hunting mammoths was not as simple as he imagined, and he had to think of a perfect plan to ensure the safety of his people.

Primitive people are not stupid, besieging such a large beast, they will definitely not rush up, they will definitely have a certain amount of experience, so Ye Fengxiang asked: "What happened to you before, rounding up mammoths?" ”

"Mammoths? What is it? ”

"It's what you call the proboscis beast."

"Oh, yes, we used to be small, and we basically didn't have much experience. But I heard from others that when some big tribes round up the proboscis beasts, they will find a few people with fast legs and feet to attack the adult proboscis beasts, and lure the adult proboscis beasts away, and their cubs will be exposed, and then they will be able to do it" When Taba said this, a look of eagerness appeared on his face.

After Ye Feng listened to Duoye's speech, you went to seize the loophole of this method, for example, if the few people who went to lead the mammoth did not run past the mammoth, wouldn't they suffer if they were caught up? If the mammoth turns halfway closer, won't the people besieging the baby elephant be wiped out again? Therefore, this method needs to be perfected.
