Chapter 100: The Elephant Hunting Project

After a discussion, a plan was tentatively made to recruit the Falling Stone tribe who were born in Potu. Let Changshen go to the northwest mountains and forests to find those wild people. Before the beginning of spring, a special group of people was sent to tribes farther away to exchange pottery for people. The recruitment of other tribes is suspended, and we will see how the recruitment of the Falling Stone tribe will be.

Some of the captives were led across the river to cut down trees and build stockades. At the same time, the Savage team is allowed to carry ore for food, and the Eagle continues to smelt copper. Some people in the tribe also began to carry out winter fishing work to increase the food of the tribe.

These things were agreed, and Lin Ji left the broken slaughter behind.

There were only two people left in the room, and Lin Ji said: "At this time, the tribe is not peaceful, and it is dangerous for people who fall rocks to come." You have to be a little prepared for that. Or before they come over, you'd better let Qiao Huan explain it to them. ”

Because of the current custom, Po Tu can't fall back to the stone tribe, and the work of persuading the falling stone tribe to come over finally fell to Qiao Huan. It's actually quite helpless, but it's the only way to do it. Because of the slaughter, it is estimated that he was driven away or even chased before he entered the tribe.

Po Tu has been following Lin Ji for a long time, and he can probably understand some of Lin Ji's thoughts, and reacted: "You mean Human? ”

Lin Ji nodded.

Po Tu groaned for a moment and asked, "Why should we guard against it?" ”

Po Tu said why he was defending, instead of asking why Human was attacking, which reflected a very strange mentality.

Except for the forest traces, the tribe is estimated to be defenseless against the tigers. Because they are proud to be part of the Tiger Barbarians. In other words, as long as the tiger man speaks, the whole Ji Lin tribe will rejoice and become a part of the tiger man. This mentality is probably the same as the mentality of people in poor countries who want to join the developed countries in later generations.

Therefore, Lin Ji thought that Hu Man might launch an attack to seize these because of Ji Lin's bronze or pottery or even house-building skills, but the others did not have this concern.

Lin Ji said: "If it's just about smelting copper and making wooden houses, they won't necessarily want all of us. Moreover, I have my own plan, I don't think everyone will have a shortage of food and clothing in the future, and I don't want to be caught and can only squat in front of the stove to make copper. ”

Po Tu also nodded and said, "If that's the case, people like me will resist more fiercely, and I will probably be the first to kill them." ”

"So, whether your original tribe should take this risk for a bite to eat, you have to think clearly." Lin Ji Road.

Po Tu smiled and said, "How can our lives be so exquisite? If they don't have enough food, they will starve to death in this winter at any time. Now you can take them to eat, and they should work hard for this, without asking them. ”

"You should know this in your heart, and don't go around talking about it, lest you ......"

"I understand."

Lin Ji nodded.

There is a lot of secret between the two, and Lin Ji also likes the personality of Po Tu, and has the intention to support him as the leader of the tribe or the leader of the armed forces, so that at least before Lin Ji becomes an adult, there is someone in front of him, or a capable assistant. This can make Lin Ji feel at ease to ask him to do some things, so many things Lin Ji is also willing to teach him a little more.

Lin Ji tapped his fingers and said, "What I just said was missed, if our farming fails next year and the source of food is missing, do you have any ideas?" ”

Po Tu said: "Do you want to expand your territory to the Li bream department?" They have a lot of lakes over there, and there are a few lakes larger than the eye pond, and you say that one lake is enough to feed our current population for a year, and if there are a few, you shouldn't be afraid, right? ”

Ji Lin had just wiped out the Gray Wolf Tribe, and everyone had just tasted the sweetness, so they naturally wanted to continue to benefit from the war. Slaughter is obviously no exception.

"But the bream and the tiger man are relatively close, and the men of the li bream are all exchanged with the tiger man, and they are almost part of the tiger man. If we move the bream again, it will be difficult for the tiger to think that we will not be able to move when the time comes. Are we really going to fight the tigers? They are said to have ten barbarian meters, do you know how many people there are? Lin Ji asked rhetorically.

Po Tu smiled embarrassedly: "I went to hunt once, and the people who have seen them, there should be no less than a thousand warriors wearing horns, maybe more than that, I can't say it now, in short, it is all over the mountains." What can't be beaten, what can't be beaten. ”

"So, I'm thinking, if we can't get food from here if we fail this winter?"

It was as if some kind of roaring and mountain-like figure flashed through Po Tu's mind, making his face tremble unconsciously, and his voice trembled a little: "You mean hunting long hair?" ”

Based on this understanding of the time, Lin Ji knew that the so-called hunting should be the hunting of prehistoric beasts such as mammoths and saber-toothed tigers.

In his understanding, this side will be frozen now, and the thickness of the snow and ice in the north may exceed one meter at any time. Such a thick layer of snow and ice may not be a problem for taller adult mammoths, but it can be a disaster for young calves. Therefore, these animals should form the habit of migrating north and south to avoid freezing to death of their young. Saber-toothed tigers are carnivores that feed on mammoths, which is why they migrate.

It's just that there are some things here that I still haven't figured out. Since it is a mammoth hunt, why is there such a thing as a successful hunt?

If failure is the result of letting these beasts into the nearby forest, then what is the result of the success of the hunt? It is impossible to say that success will kill them all. If you kill them all, you won't have them again. In Lin Ji's memory, it seems that there are still a few people who fail to hunt, and many times they are successful. So, it's obviously not the case of killing everything.

Of course, these are not important, the important thing is that according to Changshen and others, there should be a lot of mammoths wintering in the forests near the Jilin tribe now. Because when Changshen came back, he had seen their footprints.

Lin Ji wants to hunt these big guys for meat reserves, so as not to make everyone hungry next autumn if the farming harvest fails after the increase in personnel.

"What do you think?" Lin Ji asked the strongest warrior of the tribe.

Po Tu's attitude when he saw Lin Ji was not like a joke, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They do have a lot of meat, but it is difficult." Although the fangs are fierce, they are small in size and can be killed with our swords, axes, spears and arrows. This long hair is too big, and it is difficult to kill with a giant spear like a brute. And they are more irritable than their teeth, and their noses are so sensitive that we will find them as soon as we get close to them, and they can even chase us and trample on the tribe. We'll fail to hunt, and probably not as many people will die under the fangs' mouths as they will trample to death. Are we really going to hunt them? ”

Elephants have long memories of pain. These mammoths that have experienced hunting and running here for wintering are afraid that the fear of people is still above the natural predator saber-toothed tiger, so it is possible to be more irritable when they see people.

And their thick long hair and ten centimeters of fat under the skin can really resist most physical attacks.

"So, our weapons should be improved." Lin Ji pinched his chin, and did not mean to give up: If it really doesn't work, I will get on a large-caliber rifle, but I am afraid that I will not be able to shoot accurately......
