Lin Ji saw that Xiaobai was playing the same old trick again, not only did he not stop it, but he also asked Xiaobai to send a lot of sweet potatoes and corn. At the same time, let the people who turn the ground outside, and the people who open the way collect the roots of the grass and trees, and transport them back to feed these big hairballs. Only these mammoths are allowed to eat corn stalks throughout the winter, but there will be nutritional imbalances.

This day's turmoil can be regarded as a big surprise for everyone. That is, you can't go to hunt animals like this at night, and let those little elephant soldiers fall into the tiger's mouth, but you can't be in danger every time.

Letting those saber-toothed tigers infiltrate the city will also put the women and children in the city in danger. This is no longer possible.

After a little rest on this day, the herd became more dense in the next few days, and there was no movement on Xu Yu's side for a few days, which allowed Lin Ji to calmly choose the herd to catch during the day.

However, although he was able to avoid the saber-toothed tigers during the day, he received much more resistance than at night.

Every time the male elephants in the herd find something wrong, they will be extremely angry, and they will crash into the fence passage several times, trample and chase people, and the forest trails have to be driven away, and these angry fellows will be killed on the way into the city.

In this mode, the Ji Lin people were not only exhausted, but also killed and injured. It annoyed Lin Ji.

On this day, another group of elephants was driven into the corral, and there were more casualties. After seeing the dead and wounded, Lin Ji came to the outside of the beast pen and said to the middle dolphin: "No matter what method you use, in one winter, train all these guys to be obedient to me." Whoever dares to kill me, don't blame me for being rude! ”

In the past, Lin Xi also wanted to train the elephants gently, thinking that he would capture as many of them as possible, and then select those with milder personalities to be domesticated for labor or warfare. Others are shaved in the spring and released into the forest to be kept in captivity or slaughtered.

Now that the tribe was dead and wounded, he changed his mind.

At present, a lot of arrests have been made, and they will not be arrested again. Rather than let your own people suffer, it is better to let these elephants suffer and use more stringent methods to increase the domestication rate of elephant taming.

Later generations were able to get the elephants that ploughed the fields to perform in the circus, and it is known what kind of means were used. Before, he thought it was a bad start. But he found that it was cruel prehistory, and people could not survive, and to be merciful to these beasts, that is, to joke with their own lives, how dare they talk about gentleness?

The ones in captivity in the forest may run away at some point. It's still a little less effort to make it that large-scale.

"We don't have enough people." The middle dolphin pointed to the boss of the beast pen and a herd of beasts, and some wanted to say that the concubine couldn't do it. Now the fifty of them don't even have enough to feed, where can they find it?

"It's okay, I'll give you another nine hundred and fifty. The elephant inside can tame 500 heads, even if you have the ability, I will make you a thousand-commander! Lin Ji promised.

When the dolphin heard this, he immediately became excited: "Okay, look at me!" ”

Now the tribe is only a few thousand commanders? If you can become a thousand-torn, if nothing else, there will be hope for the watch.

Lin Ji made a promise, and also got a lot of iron chains, nylon ropes, etc. from the small town, and at the same time taught the circus how to domesticate elephants with carrots and whips to the dolphins. He also selected more than 900 men and women from various tribes and handed them over to the middle dolphins.

The dolphin got these, ate and lived on the edge of the animal pen, and beat the elephant like chicken blood every day. Let the location in the southwest corner of the city be constantly chirping every day. Sometimes Lin Ji was quite unbearable to listen to, so he rarely went over to look. I only sent a lot of sweet potatoes and corn to comfort the wounded hearts of these elephants.

The migration period of the beast is about half a month. Most of the herds will pass through this passage between the swamp and the lake during this half month. After that, the temperature drops again, and the ice freezes all around, and even if a wild beast comes south, it will walk on the ice, and it will become very difficult to hunt.

When the herd was about to end, Xu Yu hurriedly sent people to the city to look for forest traces, to compare the number of captures on both sides.

It was the person who came on the day of the beginning, called Capture.

He heard that Lin Rui had gone to the city wall in the northwest corner, so he hurried up to the city wall to find it. There is no way, the people who go to count here in the forest trace will be late for a while, and there may be fewer live mammoths, so he can't help but hurry.

"How many have you caught? I have more than 350 of them, and if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to count them. As soon as he saw the forest traces, he shouted from afar.

"Thirty-two thousand?" Lin Ji didn't realize the approach of the person behind him, and repeated a number by himself.

"Thirty thousand...... Head? "The capture is inexplicable.

Since last year, Lin Ji has consciously promoted the decimal system when he is hunting, and now many people in Human have recognized this statement, and they also have a certain understanding of the higher level of millions and other numbers.

He understood the concept of 30,000, but he couldn't imagine what 32,000 mammoths were.

Could it be that he really had the power to catch all the mammoths and put them somewhere as secretly as his magical abilities? Seeing the empty ground beneath the city walls, he was a little incredulous.

Lin Ji turned his head and saw that it was the capture of the crane, and explained: "What do you think?" That's the number of all the mammoths that pass through here. We didn't catch it. We're in the south, and you're going to see for yourself. It seems that there are 1,300 left. ”

Looking along the western city wall, he loomed at the end of the city wall and saw some galloping mammoths. Just by looking at it casually, he knew that Xu Yu had lost. It's just that because of the 32,000 foundation in front of him, he is not too sad, and the main loss is not his fingers. I'm also a little curious about what Lin Ji is doing now.

"What do you count these mammoths for?" Crane asked.

Lin Ji said: "Let's see how many more years we can hunt this mammoth." ”

"What do you mean?" When he heard this, he felt extremely strange in his heart. The mammoth will come and go north and south every year, how can he count it and not be there?

Lin Ji said: "Judging by the level of scourge we have now, these mammoths will disappear from here in twenty years. If the deer or other tribes in the north were doing the same thing as us, we wouldn't have seen these things go here in ten years. ”

"Huh?" This statement shocked the eagle even more than the number of 32,000. In his lifetime, he always thought that these monsters could not be killed. And he participated in the selection of new barbarians, and what he wanted to do most was to reappear in the hunting ground and hunt those monsters like the previous barbarians.

Although he can't hunt now, he thinks that this should only be temporary, and he will definitely return to the hunting ground one day. But will these mammoths disappear?

"Of course, you think these mammoths really came out of the cracks in the ground to the north? They are also life, and they need to be inherited by childbirth. Lin Ji patted the shoulders of the thief, led people to pack up a few tents on the city wall, and went down the city wall.

These data are the result of several groups of people who have been on duty on the city wall for more than ten days. In order to facilitate the statistics at night, Lin Ji also took out infrared goggles. The data should not be much different.

Seeing this data, Lin Ji was also a little disappointed. If this mammoth population is left in such numbers, it will not be long before it becomes extinct.

Hunting is going on here, and the north may be hunting, and in the winter the tribes from the south will join the hunt.

Mammoths have one litter and one cub, and they have a gestation period of up to two years, which makes their population grow very slowly. As long as their reproductive balance is disrupted, extinction will be inevitable.

With the investment of bronze and strongbows, this rate may be much faster.

Protecting that is unlikely anymore. As long as these mammoths will migrate north and south, even if hunting is prohibited here, hunting will continue elsewhere. Therefore, the arrival of the forest trail is actually watching a history disappear.

After Lin Ji and the others got off the city wall, they were stunned on the city wall for a while, and soon after a loud shout, they rushed down the city wall and ran quickly to the north.

More than an hour later, Xu Yu appeared in the city surrounded by Capture Crane and others.

At this time, Lin Rui had already reached the east city wall, and watched the last section of the outer wall of the city wall close.

The eastern wall is currently only three meters high. And the rammed earth wall segment is not too long. The section that is now closed has not even been built up the inner wall.

But the surface of the lake has begun to freeze, and it will not take long for the mortar to solidify, and the construction of the wall has to be stopped.

The outer walls are closed, and the city is basically complete. This was no problem with the cavalry used to defend against the deer. Unless the deer were desperate to fight this winter, it would have been impossible for them to discover the weakness of this section of the wall, and make something like a piece of wood to knock it down.

If that extreme situation really happens, Lin Ji will also rack a submachine gun on this wall section and completely play with them.

However, Lin Ji felt that the chances of such a thing happening were very small. Therefore, after this place is built, as long as you guard the four gates, you can definitely sleep in peace in the city.

Watching the two most skilled wall builders put the last brick on both sides, plastered it, and knocked the brick right, Lin Ji was slightly relieved and gave everyone applause: "Everyone has worked hard, and I will be here today." In the evening, when I go to the cafeteria, I will prepare a little drink to thank everyone, and don't be late. ”

After getting a cheer, Lin Ji turned around, faced Xu Yu's black face and said, "It's all over there, have you counted it?" There should be 1,300 more. But the dolphin was too ruthless, and I don't know if there will be a few less. But if you only have more than 300 heads, we should still win a few heads. ”

Xu Yu didn't believe that Lin Ji would lie, but what he didn't understand was: "How did you do it?" ”

The voice was almost roaring.

Most of the workers who built the surrounding walls were soldiers, and when they saw Xu Yu roaring, they immediately turned into guards and rushed over to Xu Yu.

Most of them are still tiger barbarians, but after following Lin Ji for more than half a year, watching this city grow from scratch, they have already been subdued and brainwashed by Lin Ji, and have become followers of Lin Ji, and regard themselves as the guardians of the future country, drawing a line with ordinary tiger barbarians. At this time, let them and Xu Yu and the others do it, they will not be soft.

Lin Ji waved his hand to make them stop, looked at Xu Yu and said, "Then you haven't gone to see it yet, you will naturally know how I did it when you go to see it." All the decorations over there are still there. You can see it. ”

Xu Yu saw that the people around him were not kind to each other, so he flinched and took two steps back: "Then I'll go and have a look first." ”

"Cowardice." Some tiger barbarians saw that Xu Yu was even afraid of this, and couldn't help but scold.

Xu Yu heard someone scolding behind him, but thinking that there were many people behind, he didn't continue to walk. It's just that the hatred in my heart rises to the sky.

After another hour, someone came with the news that Xu Yu had left the West Gate and never returned. Now the three hundred new barbarian guards and the five hundred people who followed Xu Yu also walked out of the passage outside the west gate.

"Where's the finger?" Lin Ji asked the visitor, "Did you see him cut off his fingers?" ”

The visitor shook his head, indicating that he had not seen it.

"Still paying the bill?" Lin Ji smiled. In the story, the promise is trustworthy or something, and it is really a lie. What is sympathetic to each other, willing to gamble and lose, that is the plot of the story, put it in practice, and run faster than a rabbit.

Yuan Xiao, who had just returned from the city wall, narrowed his eyes: "Why don't I chase him?" Keep it before it gets dark and chase people back. ”

Lin Ji rolled his eyes and said: "Save it, there are still hundreds of long hairs in the north, call all the idle people, let's take over and deal with it, otherwise it will be wasted." ”

He didn't really care about this bet in the first place. When Xu Yu was still playing brute force, he had already begun to play strategy, and he was no longer at the same level at all. There is no sense of accomplishment at all if you win Lin Ji.

He just thought that if Xu Yu was willing to come over and admit defeat, he would take this opportunity to convince him and see if there was any possibility of transforming this product.

But Xu Yu just left...... It's okay, presumably Xu Yu will not dare to come to the forest in the future. He can also be out of sight and out of mind. Without such a friend, maybe it would be a little cleaner.

After knowing that Xu Yu used the stupid method of cutting the elephant's leg to "catch" the elephant, Lin Ji was ready to take over.

He even asked Hu Aman to stop with the group of people he was hunting and go to other things.

Those people have been divided into building roads, houses, digging wells, repairing canals, and so on, and now there are many more houses in the city, and hundreds of wells have been dug out. It is difficult to freeze well water, so you don't need to boil snow to drink water in winter.

When we got to the village to the north, we saw hundreds of dying mammoths in the wilderness. There are also wolves, lions, saber-toothed tigers, eagle vultures, etc. One by one, I ate until my stomach was round, and I could barely run.

Lin Ji and the people were naturally not polite, and they cleaned up these cheap goods, which added a lot of harvest again.

Lin Ji led people to pick up the dead elephant and began to peel the skin and remove the flesh. Others pushed carts to bring meat back to the city.

Some of the people from Nakagu also came here, and their main purpose was to learn how to deal with elephant wounds from Shou Li. Some female elephants with cubs, or female elephants with calves with them, are the ones they treat.

If these female elephants are saved, through long-term contact, they will be more humane, and then it will become easier to tame. But this process is more difficult, and in fact, it does not save much.

Most of the elephants that fall to the ground may die within a few days. Luckily, it's snowing, so there should be plenty of time to get the meat back to the city.

A rough estimate of the elephant meat here is four or five million catties, which alone is enough for thirty or forty thousand people to eat for one winter.

In this way, Xu Yu and others have done a good thing.
