Chapter Forty-Nine: The Thrill of the Egg Thief
The salt field in front of him should not be considered a big pit to be exact, the vast area is very much like a dry lake, and Wang Lang even saw the remains of shells on the ground.
Walking in the salt field, the air is full of strong fishy salty smell, all kinds of animals come here to replenish salt, but people do not see carnivores, Wang Lang guessed that maybe carnivores take salt in a different way than herbivores, and the salt in the blood of prey may be able to maintain their needs.
Wang Lang squatted down and wanted to grab a piece, but the salt grains that looked like sand were extremely hard, Wang Lang took off the stone axe hanging on his waist and chopped the salt a few times before knocking a small piece, licking it with his tongue The taste was very salty, but there was no strange smell of salt in the forest salt mine, only a faint smell of earth.
With such a high purity of salt, Wang Lang was overjoyed, this place was simply a treasure given to people by God, and Wang Lang even regretted choosing the tribe's place of residence too early.
There are deep forests, lakes and large plains, which are ideal for both agriculture and fishing, but the tribe has done a lot of construction in the current area, and it is a pity to abandon it now.
When Wang Lang was thinking about whether the tribe would move away or not, the dark clouds had already picked up the stone axe and smashed it towards the salt blocks, after eating salt for so long, everyone knew the importance of salt, how could they not be crazy when they saw such a treasured land, and after a while, the people would fill the bags of animal skins they brought.
Looking at the salt cubes all over the floor, but there was nothing to hold, people couldn't help but regret that they had brought too few bags.
With the salt people, they can't wait to return to the tribe and tell everyone the good news, they are not interested in that deep forest, they have lived in the forest for so long, there is nothing to care about in a forest.
After a night's rest by the salt lake, the sun has just risen and they can't wait to make their way back.
When passing through the grain field, Wang Lang asked people to stop and collect more than a dozen catties of grain ears to stay on their bodies, when they came, they traveled lightly, and when they went back, they took a lot of big bags and small bags, and people's walking speed was a lot slower, although they were tired, but everyone's hearts were very happy.
At noon on the second day after leaving the valley field, when he was resting under a lonely small tree, he suddenly saw two big birds more than three meters tall rushing towards his people like a wind.
The huge beak and a few feathers erected on the top of the head made Wang Lang recognize that this was the legendary moa, and seeing such a terrifying thing appear at once, Wang Lang's hairs stood up.
"Defense, defense! Bow and arrow throwing spear ready! Wang Lang jumped up from the ground as if he had been electrocuted, holding his spear and roaring.
In the face of the speed of the moa, you can't run, so you can only fight hard.
The others were also frightened by the big bird, and raised their bows and arrows to tremble in formation.
The two moa birds didn't know what they were stimulated, and they rushed madly in the grass more than one person high, and they didn't have any confidence in the face of two giant beasts of four or five hundred pounds.
At this moment, seven or eight people suddenly came out of the one-man tall grass in front of them, each of whom was holding a large bird's egg in their arms, and ran desperately like the wind under their feet.
These people saw a few people standing stupidly under a small tree in front of them, and one of the men shouted at Wang Lang and them while running this way, but the words he said were not the same as Wang Lang and them.
Looking at the few people who suddenly appeared, Wang Lang was in no mood to care where these guys came from, but looking at the things that those people were holding in their hands, he immediately understood why the moa was so angry.
"Do these people have head cramps, it's okay to steal your Nima's moa eggs, it's damned." Wang Lang scolded with a pale face.
When those people saw Wang Lang and they did not run away, but stood there with a crooked stick, they couldn't help but wonder, are these people stupid, and plan to rely on a broken stick to deal with the two monsters behind.
Seeing that Wang Lang was looking for death, these people didn't know if their lives could be saved, so they glanced at Wang Lang and them, and kept bypassing Wang Lang and running to the side.
The two moa birds followed closely behind and also pierced through the grass, and their huge bodies appeared in front of people, although they were twenty or thirty meters away from their own people, but the thick thighs and huge claws of the moa made people have no doubt about its huge power.
The two moa birds saw that a few more of the same kind of egg thieves appeared, looked in the direction of the egg thieves, and then looked at Wang Lang and them, one rushed towards Wang Lang and them, and the other continued to chase those thieves.
Seeing the two moa separated, Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the two were not sure to deal with, and now there was only one, which suddenly reduced people's pressure a lot.
The moa took a huge step, one step was nearly two meters, and the distance of more than ten meters almost ran over in the blink of an eye.
When the moa ran to about 20 meters to meet the people, Wang Lang shouted angrily: "Attack! ”
Three arrows, two spears flew out almost simultaneously.
In the face of something flying towards it, this moa barely dodged, and the huge and hard beak of the bird suddenly knocked a long spear away, but there were too many things that flew helplessly, and with the huge impact force of running, the remaining four arrows and spears pierced its flesh fiercely, and the spear even pierced one of its thighs directly. It fell to the ground with a crooked foot, and the huge inertia caused it to slide several meters away.
Just when people thought that they had killed the monster, the moa staggered up from the ground, looked at the spear on its leg with eagle-like eyes, and broke the shaft of the spear into two pieces at once with its hard beak, and the moa, which was completely enraged, roared at Wang Lang and rushed over, but the speed was more than several times slower than before.
Although this moa now looks ferocious, people know that it has become the end of the crossbow, and when it is not injured, people will still be afraid of three points, and now it is just a lame bird, so naturally there is nothing to be afraid of.
Before it could get closer, several more arrows hit it, the triangular arrows causing wounds, causing the blood in its body to flow out, and the bright red blood stained its gray-brown feathers.
When they were still four or five meters away from Wang Lang and them, they finally fell heavily to the ground, and the huge weight raised a cloud of dust, and the moa raised its head weakly to drive away the humans who were slowly approaching it, but a sharp stone axe smashed heavily on its head.
Seeing that this monster had been completely killed, people were completely relieved.
