Chapter 5 Hunting
Seeing the happy looks of several people, Ye Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that they would not be able to accept this fact, so there would be psychological problems, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
Ye Xiao ignored them, turned around and came to the space formed by the boulder.
I don't know when the goose feather snow has fallen outside, the cold wind is whistling, and the snow is dancing all over the sky, fortunately, the cave where they are located is in a sheltered place, and the cold wind can't blow in, but Ye Xiao still feels a chill.
Ye Xiao looked at the heavy snow outside and fell into deep thought.
Now that you have decided to survive here, you have to think about food and housing, and you don't have to think about drinking water.
But the food problem had to be solved as soon as possible, they only had some compressed biscuits in their hands now, which they had brought with them before the mission, and each of them only brought three packs of compressed biscuits, each of which could provide them with the energy they needed for the day, but they had already used one pack before, and there were two packs left, which meant that each of them now only had two days of rations left.
If the food problem is not solved soon, they will soon starve to death, but fortunately they have weapons and can go hunt some beasts for food, and the fur of the beasts can also be used to make clothes, which is a double benefit.
Ye Xiao turned around and walked into the cave again, and told the other five people what he had just thought.
The five of them did not object, they knew that what Ye Xiao said was right.
"Okay, now I'll talk about the division of tasks."
Ye Xiao thought for a while and said: "The pony and the big Liu go out hunting with me, Song Wen and Zhao Yun, you two, go to the neighborhood and see if you can get some wood that can be used to build a house, and the ghost doctor will stay and take care of Panzi, do you still have any questions?" ”
"Nope."
The five of them replied in unison, this is the best way to divide labor at the moment, and they naturally have no doubts.
"Okay, now according to the division of labor and action!"
Ye Xiao gave an order, and took the pony and the big Liu out of the cave, and Song Wen and Zhao Yun also followed out of the cave.
After Ye Xiao and the three of them came out, they chose to walk to the northwest, and the beast roar that Ye Xiao faintly heard before came from that direction, so there should be some gains in going in that direction.
The snow was falling heavily, and there was no tendency to weaken at all, and the snow on the ground was very deep, and the three of them walked forward with a shallow foot in the cold wind, but the footprints they left behind were quickly covered by the snow.
In order not to get lost when returning, Ye Xiao used his saber to carve marks on the big trees along the road as he walked.
I don't know how long they walked, but the snow gradually became lighter, and when they reached a huge valley, the snow stopped.
Ye Xiao decided to take a break for a while, they had walked for so long, and their physical strength had been consumed a lot, and they hadn't encountered any animals along the way, and the huge birds flying in the sky before were also covered by the heavy snow.
"Ang~"
Just as he was resting against a large tree, a loud and loud cry came clearly from behind a small hill.
"Chief, what is this thing called?" Big Liu was faintly excited when he heard this cry.
"I don't know, let's go, let's go and have a look."
Ye Xiao was also a little excited, after walking for so long, he could finally see the creatures of this world, and listening to this cry was still a little familiar.
The three of them quickly ran up the hillside, Ye Xiao and the pony were lighter, so they were more flexible in walking on the snow, and soon pulled the big Liu away for some distance.
The big Liu is more miserable, due to his height and weight, every step leaves a deep footprint on the snow, which seriously affects his speed.
"Hey, you wait for me!"
Seeing that Ye Xiao and the two of them had run away, the big Liu couldn't help but shout in a hurry.
Ye Xiao, who was running towards the top of the mountain, heard the shouts of the big Liu, and instead of slowing down his pace, he accelerated his pace.
The distance of a few hundred meters was quickly reached, and when Ye Xiao came to the top of the hillside, he finally knew what the familiar cry was just now.
Not far from the other side of the hillside, a dozen huge animals were walking slowly, no, it should be said that it was a bit similar to a walk.
Among the dozen or so animals, several are significantly larger than the others, seven or eight meters tall and about ten meters long, especially the leader one, who is ten meters tall, and several of them are relatively small and are tightly protected in the middle by those who are larger.
These giant beasts were covered with thick hair, their four thick legs left large and deep footprints in the snow, they had broad ears, long noses, and thick white fangs that curved upwards, as well as the familiar cry, this information directly formed a word in Ye Xiao's mind: prehistoric mammoth!
That's right, it's a mammoth, and these behemoths in front of them look exactly like the mammoths of the Ice Age on Earth, but they are much larger.
Ye Xiao looked at these mammoths walking slowly, and fell into deep thought, since there are mammoths in this world, then there should be no doubt that this place is in the Ice Age.
It's just that this kind of mammoth is too big to be hunted by them, and Ye Xiao feels that the weapons in their hands shouldn't do much damage to these rough-skinned giant beasts.
Ye Xiao glanced at the pony next to him, only to see that his eyes were firmly fixed on the little mammoth in the middle of the tall mammoths, Ye Xiao knew what he was thinking, but those little mammoths were relatively tightly protected, and their chances should not be great, unless they were separated.
"Holy, is this a mammoth?"
The big Liu who was left behind also reached the top of the mountain at this time, and when he saw these mammoths, he directly opened his mouth and said this.
"Shhh
Ye Xiao pulled him to the ground, the top of the hill where they were located was only about thirty meters high from the foot of the mountain, and those mammoths were not far from the foot of the mountain, this guy screamed loudly just now, if he was heard by the mammoths, it would be a startling snake, because he was thinking about how to try to hunt those little mammoths just now.
Sure enough, as soon as they lay down, the mammoths stopped, and several larger mammoths leaned close to each other, forming a wall that protected the little mammoths firmly in the middle.
The largest mammoth in the lead took a defensive stance, turned its huge head around, and looked vigilantly at Ye Xiao's direction.
Ye Xiao and they lay motionless on the snow, and their breathing became very slow, it was not difficult for them to hide their bodies in the snow, which was one of the basic skills of special forces training.
At the moment, the valley was quiet, and there was no movement except for the sound of the cold wind howling.
The elephant stared at Ye Xiao's place for nearly ten minutes, and after finding nothing unusual, it raised its head and howled.
"Ang~"
It was the alarm that was lifted, and the elephant walked forward again, and the other mammoths were disarmed, and everything went back to the way it was.
"Chief, what are we going to do?"
The pony looked at the little mammoth in the middle of the herd and was eating the bushes leisurely, and he was a little eager to try it.
"Don't act rashly yet, let's find a good time to do it again, let's follow them slowly, remember, don't alarm them again."
Ye Xiao looked at the herd of mammoths and whispered, you must be patient in hunting, and you must seize the opportunity to kill with one blow, otherwise you will only startle the snake and let the prey slip away.
Moreover, the weapons in their hands are not necessarily useful, mammoths have rough skin and thick flesh, and there is a lot of fat, and they can only hit the vital points.
Hearing him say this, although the pony and the big man were excited, they still resisted their restless hearts, they were all trained by Ye Xiao, and this truth was still understood.
Moreover, when they are on Earth, they also often carry out jungle combat missions, especially when lurking behind enemy lines, they can stay in one place all day without moving, just to wait for the appearance of the target, and then deliver a fatal blow.
At this moment, the mutation protruded, and the leading mammoth suddenly howled and assumed a defensive posture, while the other larger mammoths also howled a few times, as if warning something.
However, Ye Xiao found something different, because the few mammoths he felt that were howling in a low voice were a little flustered, as if something dangerous was approaching, making them also feel threatened and afraid.
"Roar~"
Just when Ye Xiao and the others were a little confused by these mammoths that suddenly became flustered, there was a huge roar like a tiger roar in front of the group of mammoths.
Ye Xiao looked over intently, only to see that not far in front of the elephant herd, a huge beast with colorful patterns came out from behind a giant pine.
This beast is nearly five meters long and about three meters tall, with two half-meter-long upper barking teeth growing outwards from its huge mouth, which shimmer in the sunlight.
It's a saber-toothed tiger, and it's a saber-toothed tiger about the size of those small mammoths, so it's no wonder that the adult mammoths are also like a great enemy.
It seems that this saber-toothed tiger must want to hunt mammoths.
Although the sudden change surprised Ye Xiao and the others, it gave them another chance, with the lethality of the saber-toothed tiger, they would definitely disperse the group of mammoths.
That way, they would have a chance to hunt down the lone little mammoths.
Ye Xiao decided to stand still for the time being, judging from the current situation, they only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!
