Faced with the danger in the water, human beings have a natural sense of fear, and whether to cross the river or not has now become a difficult problem for everyone.

The captain paused the logging work and called everyone over to come up with a reasonable solution.

Everyone talked about it, and most of them thought that they would rather take a long detour than die here in no apparent way.

Seeing that Zhou Yu had not spoken, the captain asked, "Zhou Yu, tell me your opinion." ”

Seeing the captain suddenly ask himself, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Everyone, I think we can still cross the river." ”

When the captain heard this, he became interested, he was in favor of crossing the river, and when he saw that Zhou Yu had the same opinion as himself, he asked, "What are you asking?" ”

"I think we can kill the beasts in the river, this waterhole is not big, I don't think there are too many beasts of that size, if we take the time to kill them, and then cross the river, won't it be safe?" Zhou Yu said what he thought.

But as soon as the words fell, someone retorted: "What are you kidding, a monster four or five meters long, how can we kill it, and it's not one, just a raft?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "You guys calm down first, I don't mean to fight that thing on the water." ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yu coughed lightly, organized his words, and said, "You should have heard that more than ten years ago, when the Xia Kingdom still had a salt department, His Majesty led people to fight with the big snake in the pot?" ”

Everyone nodded, this matter has been rumored to be quite legendary after so many years, and it can be regarded as a household name in Xia Kingdom.

When the captain heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "You mean we can bring the things up and kill them on the shore." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "I thought about it myself just now, when I went to throw those internal organs in the pool, it didn't take long for me to come over with something, I guess this thing should not have any wisdom, as long as we put the food on the shore and set a trap nearby, as long as that thing comes out, isn't it very simple to kill it." ”

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, everyone began to think carefully about the feasibility of this matter.

After much thought, everyone felt that this thing could be tried, and it would not be delayed for too long to do it, and if it succeeded, then there would be no need to worry about food problems for a long time in the future.

"Okay, I don't think you'll be able to come up with this solution." The captain patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I just suddenly remembered His Majesty's story." ”

The captain nodded and said, "Cheer up, let's prepare well and try to lure out all the monsters in this puddle." ”

The re-energized explorers immediately put their ingenuity to the test and began to discuss what kind of traps would be most effective against the big ones in the pool.

Everyone came up with their own ideas, and in the end, after putting together everyone's opinions, the expedition team came up with what they thought would be the most effective.

This amphibian crawls in a similar way to a crocodile, and although it is long, its limbs are extremely short, and it is extremely inflexible on land.

Simply dig a one-meter-deep pit in the ground beneath the bait and bury some sharpened branches to kill it.

The expedition team did not have shovels, and if they wanted to dig traps, they had to find other ways to replace them.

Luckily, there is a lot of obsidian scattered around the river and around the cliffs, which is so hard that it can be polished to make a simple stone shovel.

More than a dozen people work together, half of them making digging tools by hand and the other making sharpened branches.

After a busy day, with the joint efforts of everyone, they made three sturdy stone shovels and a large number of wooden thorns.

Knowing that there were ferocious beasts in the waterhole, the personnel on duty that night paid special attention to the movement in the direction of the waterhole, in case this thing launched a surprise attack on them.

The next day, after everyone hurriedly had breakfast to replenish their strength, they began to dig the trap.

Although there are rocks in the soil next to the waterhole, they are all small stones, which does not affect the progress of the excavation.

The soft and muddy ground was easy to dig, and at dusk, with everyone taking turns digging, an irregular round pit with a diameter of more than two meters and a depth of more than one and a half meters appeared in front of everyone.

Zhou Yu jumped into the pit, inserted the wooden thorns into the soil at will, climbed out of the mud pit, and looked down, the dense spikes made people shudder when they looked at it.

"There should be no problem, cover this place with branches and weeds, with the wisdom of a fool, you shouldn't be able to see the anomaly here." The captain said slowly.

Everyone nodded, and couldn't help but look forward to the scene of hunting this monster.

The trap was laid before dark, and after dinner, and after leaving the night watch, everyone gradually fell asleep in anticipation.

The next day, before dawn, everyone woke up early to prepare for this very exciting hunt.

Place a few pieces of raw meat cut into small pieces at intervals of about a meter from the edge of the waterhole until you reach the location of the trap.

And in order to increase the chances of success, near the bait, even some blood was poured.

After doing this, everyone immediately went into hiding. Surround the place from three sides.

This was done on the one hand to drive away the rest of the beasts, and on the other hand, it was a supplement to the trap plan, although the plan seemed perfect, but Shatterleaf did not dare to guarantee 100% success, if the prey did not go to the trap, these people could immediately attack it.

The process of waiting was a test of patience, as the sun gradually rose, the evaporated water vapor made the river extremely wet, and the squatting in the grass was very uncomfortable.

The blades of grass cut the skin, and although it did not bleed, it still ached faintly under the invasion of salt-rich sweat.

But the wait worked, and in the otherwise calm pool, a huge figure moved down the surface of the water, towards the place on the bank of the river that smelled of blood and rotting flesh.

Seeing that the prey had been hooked, everyone raised their hearts to their throats, staring intently at the bank of the river, and the weapons in their hands couldn't help but clench a little.

The prey was vigilant, burrowed its huge head above the water, looked around, and dived back into the water.

Just when everyone secretly said that it was a pity, the monster once again came out of the water, this time, wandering back and forth two or three meters away from the river bank for a while, probably thinking that there was no danger, and swam towards this side with its tail swinging.

Zhou Yu swallowed nervously, staring at the huge prey with his eyes, and secretly prayed for God's blessing.

Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, and they were hiding in the shadows, and they saw a huge head poking out of the water, and the thick and short forelimbs stepped on the riverbank.

The prey will put its head in front of the bait and sniff, swallow it in one bite, and after eating this bait, I saw it raise its head and sniff around, dragging its heavy body slowly to the next bait.

At this time, its entire body was exposed to the outside, and looking at such a huge body, everyone was shocked.

If you had rashly crossed the river on a raft before, this monster would attack itself in the water, and the simple raft would have been knocked apart in one fell swoop, and humans could only be slaughtered in the water.

The bait was too small for its massive body, and two pieces of meat couldn't fill its hungry stomach.

Walking in the direction of the trap with its short limbs, it will now fall into the trap as long as it walks four or five meters forward.

At this moment, everyone's heartbeat seemed to stop, and Zhou Yu even couldn't help but rush out to drive this guy into the trap.

But he knew that if he went out now, all his efforts would be in vain, and he could suppress his inner impulse and wait patiently.

The time seemed to be incomparably long at this time, and everyone didn't dare to make a sound at all, even if the sweat ran down the corners of their eyes, they didn't dare to raise their hands to wipe it.

The prey probably thinks that this place is completely safe, and with its small brain capacity, it can't understand why this meat is just left here waiting for it to eat.

Eating one bait after another, it was finally time for the last one, and when the people saw the prey continue to walk forward, everyone knew that the plan had succeeded.

When its right forelimb stepped on the trap, it heard only a crisp "click!" The branch covering the trap couldn't bear such a heavy body at all, and it broke almost instantly.

It happened so suddenly, the prey didn't have time to react at all, and due to inertia, it slid straight down into the trap.

Seeing this, the people who were lying in ambush on the side knew that they had succeeded, and they could no longer control the excitement in their hearts at this moment, and ran out of various hidden places, and quickly ran towards the direction of the trap.

Zhou Yu looked at the trap, and at this time the pit was in a mess, and he saw that the huge prey had its belly facing upward, and its huge body was poked into a sieve by sharp wooden thorns, but it was not dead at this time.

The trap of more than three meters or so could simply accommodate such a large prey under his subordinates, and the flat tail hung weakly above the hole entrance, swinging weakly.

"Holy shit, it's not dead yet." The captain spat on the ground and commanded the people: "Whoever takes the spear, kill it at once." ”

When several spearmen heard this, they immediately stepped forward and stabbed their prey in the head with their spears.

The sharp spear pierced its brain, killing it instantly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the thing was finally dead.

Such a big guy gives people a sense of oppression just by looking at it, and I don't know what he eats.

Although I killed this thing, how to get it out was a problem.

The carcass of the prey occupies almost a large part of the trap, and there is not even room for a person in the pit.

"We've got to get it out, this big guy has enough for us to eat for days." One said.

"But how do we get it?"

Zhou Yu hid on the edge of the pit and tilted his head to look at the bottom of the pit.

"I've got a way." Zhou Yu said suddenly.

"What's the solution?" The crowd asked.

Zhou Yu pointed to the bottom of the pit and said: "You see, the body of this thing is not completely close to the ground, we only need to find two strong logs, with our strength we should be able to warp it up a little, as long as we move out of the space for a person to stand, we can decompose it." ”

"Good idea, you kid, your head is so good, it's a pity that you fell off the list this time." The captain said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yu was also a little helpless when it came to this, he was only five points short of being on the list, but there was no way, if he lost, he was defeated, and he could only blame himself for his lack of strength.

smiled helplessly, and said to everyone: "Let's hurry up and work, I don't know if there is another kind of its kind here." ”

The people did not continue to chat, but began to look for suitable wood, and the wood that was used to pry the corpse was neither too thick nor too thin, and after half an hour, the group cut down two small trees about ten centimeters in diameter, and the three of them carried them to the place where the trap was.

When the others were about to start working, Zhou Yu suddenly said, "Wait a minute! ”

"What's wrong?"

People looked at Zhou Yu in confusion, not knowing what this guy had found again.

"The soil here is so soft that it should be difficult to pry it up, so I think I should put a stone on the edge of the pit."

Zhou Yu explained.

Everyone thought about it carefully, and felt that this was the reason, and several people ran to the edge of the cliff to find two stones that looked relatively round, and moved them with great difficulty.

Placing the stone on the edge of the pit, he put two pieces of wood that were used as crowbars under the corpse, and after gently priing them into place, and when he felt that he was right, the captain said to the group: "I will count to three in a moment, and everyone will work together." ”

"Understood!"

The captain nodded, held the crowbar with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "One, two, three!" ”

"Hey!"

Under the combined force of more than a dozen young and strong men, although the prey was huge and heavy, it was still pried up.

After five or six minutes, the tired and panting expedition members finally turned over the corpse that had been lying on their backs in the pit and leaned against the pit wall.

In order to prevent the corpse from falling down again, the crowd used wooden sticks to hold it hard, and asked two people to throw the prepared short log into the pit and jump down quickly.

Carefully avoiding the surrounding wooden thorns, he stuck two short logs diagonally into the dirt to hold the corpse against it.

With the support of wood, everyone suddenly felt much more relaxed.

In order to prevent accidents, the captain left eight men to continue to hold the corpse against the body with sticks, preventing the wood below from breaking and smashing his companions in the trap.

At this time, the pit can accommodate two workers, hand them axes and daggers, and five other people with weapons to guard the surroundings to prevent the sneak attack of wild beasts.

The two men who dismembered their prey moved quickly, and they didn't care about the integrity of the prey's skin at all, wielding their axes to chop their prey into pieces.

The mud inside the pit was stained red with blood, and the stench and smell of blood from the internal organs was disgusting.
