Chapter 136: Three Trees
After explaining Qingguo, Tang Ge turned to Yuexiang again, squatted down and advised: "Xiangxiang must also be obedient, don't make Honggu angry, do you know?" ”
Yuexiang nodded, with a small face, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry!" Xiangxiang is the most sensible! ”
After getting along with each other for a while, Yuexiang did not worship Tang Ge ordinarily, not only obeyed him, but even tried to imitate Tang Ge's words and deeds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Tang Ge is a little too old compared to other children, and now even Yuexiang has learned all kinds of adult styles with him, but Yuexiang is not as mature as Tang Ge, the more she tries her best to imitate Tang Ge's speech and behavior, the more cute she becomes.
Tang Ge smiled, straightened up, hugged Ah Liang gently, and said warmly: "I'm not here, you must protect Qingguo and Xiaoxiangxiang." ”
Ah Liang nodded, patted Tang Ge's shoulder and said, "Don't worry!" I'll take them ...... Dressed up ...... Handsome. ”
When Tang Ge heard this, he laughed.
Lao Tongshu hugged Aunt Jiu and watched this scene quietly from a distance, waiting until Tang Ge finished saying goodbye to the three of them, and then embarked on the journey of autumn hunting with a relieved face.
Three Trees is the first stop for various migrating animals to enter the wilderness from the wilderness.
Out of instinct, or a habit passed down from generation to generation. These migratory animals do not rush through this wasteland of dangerous human existence. In order to escape the hunt of humans, after stepping out of the wild land, they will assemble here at Three Trees.
Here, they gathered together in twos and threes, and waited until they formed a sufficient size, and then they would quickly pass through the wasteland and enter the warm plains with an indomitable momentum by virtue of their numerical superiority. This is also the only way they can target large-scale human hunting.
The wilderness is huge, so there will be plenty of places for animals to rest temporarily, but there will also be plenty of terrain for humans to slaughter them. But these so-called good topography do not include the three trees.
The Three Trees is a grassland, and although there are hills and valleys, it is a veritable grassland. Except for the three short and thick trees not far away, there are some unmature shrubs except for Artemisia grass.
It is very difficult for hunters to hunt here at Three Trees. Because these animals are very vigilant, it is almost impossible to get close to the hunt, so they can only set up various traps, traps and ambushes, and try their best to drive the prey into the trap. But although the targets of the hunters are herbivores, they are also very vicious. When driving away prey, if the leader of the animal group is accidentally stimulated, it is not uncommon for the leader to lead the entire group to chase and trample on it. Moreover, at this time, the prey is fat and strong, and it is the time when the physical strength is in its prime, once they go berserk, it is difficult for the hunters to avoid their pursuit.
Another point is that it is not only herbivores that migrate, but also many carnivorous predators that follow their food, moving from the cold north to the warmer south. And in the eyes of these beasts, whether it is a human or an animal, it is all just a dish. The most terrifying thing is that these carnivorous animals also gather in herds when they migrate, and this beast of prey that has left its territory is more sensitive, ferocious and aggressive than usual.
When Tang Ge and the others arrived at the Three Trees, two long wooden fences had already been built here. The fence is made of thick logs, and each joint is tied with the best rope three times, and the quality of the whole fence is not ordinarily strong.
Two parallel fences are wide at one end and narrow at the other. The wide end is in the shape of a trumpet, and the two fences stretch as far as they can in the direction of the wilderness, like two arms that are as open as possible, blocking the path of animal migration. The fence at the bell mouth narrows further back, and at the end, two parallel fences form a "runway" more than 100 meters wide, which extends into a huge valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
The area around the valley has been completely renovated, and there is a large wooden door at the mouth of the valley that can be opened and closed. At that time, as long as the prey is driven into the range of the horn mouth, the prey can only follow the "runway" all the way into the valley, and then close the door, this huge valley will become a place of death for the prey.
Considering the destructive power of wild animals, piles of spare timber have been piled up on both sides of the fence at intervals so that the fence can be repaired at any time, and there are special personnel patrolling back and forth to ensure that there are no accidents.
The so-called red heart is prepared with two hands. Although Tang Ge and Fat Wu had taken precautions against everything they could think of, they still didn't dare to put all their hopes on this giant "fence". Therefore, in addition to the fence, they also prepared many primitive hunting tools such as stone spears and ropes, and once the fence plan failed, they could only let the tribesmen use the most primitive methods to fight the beasts.
Every year during the autumn hunt, it is the time when the consumption of stone spears, ropes and firewood is at its highest. Although Banpo Dolphin has gold tools, the long-range weapons are still used in stone, and compared with before, the quality of the stone is only slightly better.
After carefully inspecting the long fence and confirming that there were no omissions, all Tang Ge could do was to resign himself to fate.
After telling the patrol team again to pay attention to checking the fence, Tang Ge and the others were about to leave, when a low elephant chirping suddenly sounded in the distance. Big Stone perked up and shouted, "It's the remnant tooth here!" He hurried in the direction where the elephant chirping sounded.
Tang Ge and the others hurriedly followed when they saw this. To be honest, Tang Ge has heard a lot about the story of "Broken Teeth". In the story, this ferocious elephant not only kills people, but even all kinds of fierce beasts. The mammoth herd, which was supposed to be the best prey, turned out to be the most unprovoked existence in the wasteland under the leadership of the stump fangs.
When the elephants were still far away, the big rock crouched down behind a low bush and tested the direction of the wind, and then cautiously poked its head out of the bushes. Seeing this, the hunters behind also lowered their bodies, and each followed the concealment, looking for the most suitable position for observation little by little.
Tang Gefu lowered his body and went straight to the big stone, and after poking his head out of the bushes like the big stone, he was completely stunned by the spectacular scene in front of him.
Mammoth, Tang Ge is no stranger, and he has watched documentaries about mammoths in his previous life. Because of its short extinction, this giant beast is highly sought after by zoologists around the world, and there have even been reports of attempts to resurrect mammoths.
In Tang Ge's impression, the mammoth is a kind of prey that primitive people particularly like, but there are very few people in this wasteland who can hunt mammoths, not only mammoths, but even the saber-toothed tigers that Tang Ge liked very much in his previous life are rarely seen.
Just because it was uncommon, Tang Ge was quite curious, and at this moment, listening to the sound of elephant chirping one after another in front of him, he was faintly excited. But when he poked his head out, he was immediately completely shocked by the scene in front of him.
In the wasteland, there are hundreds of mammoths, forming a huge herd of elephants, which are slowly moving across the grassland. Although they were a little far away, he could still tell that these mammoths were much larger than the beasts he had hunted. When these giant beasts are gathered together, they are like slowly moving mountain bags, giving people a powerful visual impact that is simply indescribable.
These mammoths are not only large, but also male and female, they have a team of huge, curved and upward tusks, these tusks are one or two meters short, the largest, estimated to be more than three meters long, walking in the front, but also the largest mammoth, there is an ivory I don't know why, it has been broken, the fracture does not look sharp, but this mammoth is even more ferocious.
"This is the remnant tooth......" Big Stone muttered to himself, looking at the mammoth in front.
Except for ivory, the tusks are no different from other mammoths. They are covered with fine, long, brown-black hair, with high shoulders, and there is a clear depression in the front of the shoulders, and there is a large slope backwards, which looks like a hump. However, the remnant teeth are noticeably larger than the other mammoths. At this moment, the stump is slowly leading the elephant herd forward, without the slightest appearance of the legendary rage.
"Where did they come from?" Tang Ge asked curiously.
"I don't know." Big Stone shook his head: "The stump fangs are cunning, and they come here at different times of the year. Sometimes it's early autumn, sometimes it's even winter, and sometimes it doesn't come at all. So even the most seasoned hunters should not try to know their whereabouts. And after they enter the wasteland, their whereabouts are not certain, sometimes they hide in the mountains, sometimes they wander in the wasteland, and they will not leave until the winter passes. No one knows where they went after they left. ”
Tang Ge looked at the elephant herd that seemed to be getting closer and closer, and asked suspiciously, "But this stump looks very docile, it doesn't seem to be the same as in the legend." ”
"I'll tell you." Da Shi's face was excited: "The residual tooth usually looks normal, but once it starts to go crazy, it is not ordinary and terrible." This guy is not only murderous, but also vindictive. Do you know why I'm hiding here? ”
Tang Ge shook his head.
Da Shi said proudly: "Because I and your Uncle Tong have offended it." That year, because of you, we followed the herd of elephants with the tusks, intending to hunt a mammoth. Although this guy is very cunning, he finally let us succeed, and since then, whenever this guy sees it, he will definitely go crazy and hunt us down. And once it gets angry, all the mammoths in the herd will attack after it, and if any mammoth doesn't listen to it, it will be severely repaired later. ”
