Chapter 286: Endless Beast Tide
The people of the River tribe have basically seen the beast tide they drove away, but no one has ever seen such a powerful beast tide. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven those who have participated in the Beast Hunt News are shocked by this momentum.
Wang Chuan knew that this was the vanguard tribe of the beast tide. Generally, when crossing the river, the strongest beasts walk in front, and this scene is naturally not comparable to the scattered beast tide on land.
As the beast tide approached, everyone could see that the big rhinoceros, big bison, horned deer, big deer and other large animals walked in front. And as these beasts approached, the seemingly calm water surface also had water ripples rolling. The crocodiles, giant snakes, etc. lurking in the water have revealed their bodies one after another to avoid this wave of vanguards.
Wang Chuan issued an order: "Zuo Manfan, bypass here, we will only hunt the beasts behind." ”
The vanguard is aggressive, so it's better not to provoke it. The sailboat he was sitting on took the lead, and first rowed an arc to avoid the vanguard of the beast tide. The sailboats behind followed one by one.
Everyone obeyed the command very much, but the little eagle did not listen to Wang Chuan, it spread its wings and flew quickly, suddenly soared into the sky, and fought with those eagle harriers.
Kitty Hawk is the king of the sky. It cannot tolerate the appearance of other birds in the sky above its head. Especially predators of the same kind.
The days are full of waiting for the scavenging harrier eagles to row in circles, without interfering with each other, and when there is enough food, they don't bother to pay attention to how many of their kind are around. But Kitty Hawk rushed up, and the situation changed dramatically.
There has never been a shortage of food for the eaglet, and it hardly eats food other than what Wang Chuan and a few other acquaintances have fed. Even if it is a wild beast, it will be caught back, and when Wang Chuan cuts it open, it will be fed. It cares about dignity. Its purpose is also to drive away, not to compete with them.
As a large eagle, the eaglet does not have a significant advantage in speed compared to other eagle harriers. But the obvious advantage of the eaglet is that it has huge wings and a strong beak and sharp claws. With a few flaps of their wings in the air, the other small eagle harriers will almost flip several times. If you dare to confront the eaglet head-on and be pecked by it, no matter what kind of eagle species, there is almost only one possibility of falling from the sky.
Therefore, as soon as the eaglet went to the sky, the eagle harrier, which had been circling in circles, screamed again and again, and fled in all directions.
Zhuang Niu and the others looked up for a while and said, "Do you want to call it back?" ”
Wang Chuan saw that the little eagle was invincible in the sky, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's hard to get out of it, let it make trouble." ”
The fleet rounded up and moved beyond the path of these beast tides, and the sight was different.
The beast tide does not go in a straight line, it seems to have its own path, and after walking in the water for a while, they will step on a meadow and turn in another direction.
The vanguard tribe of the beast tide rumbled forward, like a heavily armed team, fearless of almost any danger. A hungry crocodile pounced on the river and bit the body of a large bull, which immediately slammed into the rhinoceros next to him. The crocodile was squeezed into the water, and then it was trampled by countless big feet behind it, and the bottom of the water began to turn red. This crocodile is obviously more than lucky.
The bucket-thick python has only been seen in the media before. But here, Wang Chuan saw as many as four or five in a meadow. Facing the vanguard of the beast tide, the snakes fled one after another. But there was a particularly large python that was stepped on by the horned deer, and it turned around and opened its bloody mouth to the horned deer, and hissed twice. Wang Chuan felt that it was time for the horned deer to apologize. But the horned deer who can walk in the vanguard team obviously has no sense of apology. It bowed its head to the serpent that stood in its way.
It must be said that the horns of the horned deer are very large and majestic, but it has made a big mistake in this behavior. As it looked down, the serpent suddenly sprang up and ran along the neck of the horned deer onto its body, and then immediately rolled into a mass of snakes and began to strangle to death.
Their battle apparently blocked the way, and one of the beasts, impatiently detouring, jumped up and stomped on the snake. Seeing this, the animals behind also followed suit, and stepped on the snake. Soon the snakes and deer of the great battle were trampled into flesh. The birds that were not chased away by the eaglets rushed down to peck at their food, regardless of whether they were alive or dead.
The fierce vanguard passed, followed by all sorts of young animals in a hurry. Large carnivores followed.
Wolves and jackals are vigorous and omnivorous animals. There are plenty of them here too. The saber-toothed tiger, endemic to prehistory, was a social animal, and they also lived in groups of three or five.
Lion King Chuan always thought that Africa existed, but he saw it here.
Pandas, animals that can only be sold in zoos in the future, also follow the predators, and people stand up.
However, after watching it for a long time, Wang Chuan was a little disappointed, there was almost a hodgepodge of various animals here, but there were no wild donkeys and wild horses here.
But thinking about Wang Chuan, he was relieved, these are basically prehistoric animals, and later generations did not train these animals as domestic animals, probably because these animals were almost extinct before humans began to domesticate. Wild asses and wild horses are supposed to have different living habits from these animals in order to survive and be tamed by humans later. In this way, Wang Chuan had to look for these two animals elsewhere.
The surging vanguard passed, followed by scattered beast ranks. They usually form a team as a family or a group, and the strong ones walk outside, enclosing the cubs inside, and walking cautiously.
Humans migrating with the beast tide also appeared in the team. That is, migrants. But these are not the kind of teams that come out to train. They are the humans who live with the tide of beasts. They are clad in animal skins, and they use things, and they look no different from other beasts. They carried the child on their shoulders and carried a long pole and walked carefully behind the herd. The River Tribe's sloping sailboat apparently surprised them. They watched vigilantly, but did not change their direction. The children looked at the sailboats with a little curiosity. They will not know that from now on, these sailboats will also be their nightmare.
Wang Chuan and the first group of migrants went over and picked up a harpoon with barbs: "Ready to do it!" ”
The River Tribe's ironworks are still limited in production. However, a lot of good things have been made in the past three years. Among them is this barbed harpoon.
The boat moved a little closer to a small herd of bison. These bison, who had never seen a sailboat, were not afraid of the approaching of a sailboat.
Zhuang Niu also stood beside Wang Chuan with a harpoon, and as soon as the two pointed to the strongest one of the herd, they had a tacit understanding and threw the harpoon at the neck of the cow at the same time.
The two prongs pierced the cow's neck almost at the same time, but the cow did not die immediately, and immediately jumped up from the water and began to struggle madly.
Wang Chuan and Zhuang Niu grabbed the rope behind the harpoon, and unexpectedly pulled the ox to the side of the boat for a long time. At the same time, the rope ripped through the buffalo's wound and began to bleed.
But the bison's vitality is extremely tenacious, and when it sees that it cannot be struggling, it stubbornly pulls on the rope and does not move anymore. In this way, Wang Chuan and Zhuangniu still couldn't pull it.
Wang Chuan and Zhuang Niu glanced at each other and nodded together. The strong ox squatted down and grabbed the two ropes with a loud shout. Wang Chuan took a spear standing on the side of the ship, grabbed a sail rope and flew towards the bison.
This time it's like a goshawk predating. Wang Chuan swung over the bison, suddenly let go, and held the spear in both hands and plunged straight into the bison's back. The whole spearhead sank into the back of the cow. The cow also fell into the muddy water.
Wang Chuan stood on the ox, stretched out his hand to take a sail rope from the strong ox, and jumped again, and then returned to the sailboat, attracting a lot of cheers from the boat.
The cow that fell to the ground didn't have to make too much effort to drag it over. The buoyancy of the water will also lift the cattle up a bit. When the ox reached the side of the sailboat, a crossbar was twisted over the sailboat, and a leather rope with several pulleys was attached to the bison, and it was easily carried onto the boat.
The pulley can also be regarded as a good thing contributed by the iron factory in the past three years. Because these big boats often catch big fish, it is extremely inconvenient to tow them onto the boat. Wang Chuan got the pulley set out. Now two people can also easily drag a thousand pounds of heavy objects onto the boat.
When building a ship, in order to cooperate with this device, the black back also added a lever-like beam to the new ship.
The success of Wang Chuan and Zhuangniu gave everyone a good start, and others also took action, harpoons, bows and arrows, spears, nets, etc., and for a time made the lake stained with blood. Everyone's appetite has been raised in the past few years, and Wang Chuan doesn't eat things like beasts, and no one touches them. Bison are the best, and the popular beef in the River tribe is cooked in a variety of ways, so everyone is almost hunting bison. Of course, if there is a tiger or a lion with a good coat, they don't mind. But in this case, it depends on who is good at archery. At this time, it would be best if you hit the eye. Because in this way you can peel off the mouth and peel off the perfect hide.
In the end, someone also took the opportunity to arrest a few lonely migrants.
Everyone worked together, and in less than a day, the fleet was almost full.
The beast herd has passed wave after wave, and this bit of prey of everyone has almost no effect on the beast tide.
Everyone decided to go back immediately, cut and pickle something, and waited for the return trip to do it while walking. After returning to the tribe and unloading the prey, you will run a few more times, and you will not have to worry about this year's meat.
However, the baby elephant and the baby rhinoceros were still on the shore, and Wang Chuan decided to let them send him ashore. He and Zhuang Niu went back by themselves with a team of ten people, and the fleet didn't have to wait for him. This saves a lot of time, as the fleet can sail day and night.
Back on the shore, the eaglet who had gone out to fight also flew back with a messy feather. There was not a single bird in the sky above its head. Wang Chuan groomed its feathers distressedly, and the little eagle half-closed his eyes to bury his head in Wang Chuan's arms. This is a stinky problem that inhabits habits, and it seems that it can't be changed in this life.
It's just that Wang Chuan's chest was too hard, and Xiaoying quickly raised his head again and chirped twice in dissatisfaction with Wang Chuan. I don't know if I'm dissatisfied with Wang Chuan's chest or dissatisfied with Wang Chuan, so I let Qi go.
Wang Chuan and the others rested in the stockade for the night, and the next day they passed through the beast tide and prepared to return to the tribe, but found that they were targeted by several fanged tigers.
