Chapter 32: Ready for Battle

With the bonus of experience in making stone axes, Chen Chao quickly made 10 wooden shovels this time, and when he brought the wooden shovels over, the people of the logging team happened to come back from cutting trees, and the old people also happened to make breakfast with broken wood near the tribe.

Today's breakfast is a bit rushed, but there is enough pork, enough fish, and some chestnuts are cooked.

It's just that the gathering team didn't go out today. There will be no fruit to eat. The wolf meat was not available, and the time was too short to deal with it, so the women of the collection team dragged the wolf corpse to the small cave where the moa meat was stored before, and blocked it with a boulder so that the smell would not waft out.

After breakfast, the women of the collection team divided half of the weapons to recover and return to their places, Chen Chao took a look, the spear and the slingling were still damaged, and the main problem was the vines that were bound.

He looked at it, and the spear could be replaced with a straw rope for weaving straw sandals, but it was a little thin and needed to be tied with two more. The slings are not at all, and they still need vines to fix them, mainly because the grass rope is too thin.

What's more, the slings are equipped with weapons in large quantities, and now it's too late to reweave the straw ropes of new sizes.

The only way to do this is to let the gathering party go out and pick up vines that are suitable for making slings, and it is also good to pick up some more sharp stones to come back and make new spears.

Chen Chao thought about it, it's not a matter just to pick up stones, the stones needed for the slings are big and heavy, how many stones can a woman pick up for the slings?

I still have to find a way to break the big rocks, check the database, and you can use the fire water splash method!

It is to heat the stone and quickly pour cold water on it to make the whole stone burst apart.

Chen Chao's first sight was on the boulder at the mouth of the wolf corpse storage cave, but he immediately denied his idea, this stone could not be broken to make many stone throwing ropes, and another stone of similar size had to be obtained.

He hurried to find Wu and asked where there was such a big stone nearby.

Wu thought for a moment and pointed in another direction, sure enough, there were two or three such big stones not far away, but think about it, if it was too far, how could these primitive people be transported by their transportation capabilities.

The problem of stones in this vicinity will be much easier to solve, and the workload of the gathering team will be much easier, so they will only need to collect vines and some small sharp stones.

Chen Chao asked the tree cutting team to take care of each other with them, and some of the small branches cut down by the tree cutting team could also be brought back by them to be used as tools for making spears.

The remaining half of the collection team first followed Chen Chao to push the boulder to the river, and was ready to start burning the stone.

After the stones were set up on the fire, they took out all the clay pots, scooped up the water from the river, and when Chen Chao gave the order, they all poured water on the stones.

Although they didn't know why Chen Chao did this, since he came to the Tianyuan tribe, everything he did was for the good of the tribe, he brought them the holy fire, brought endless cooked food, brought beautiful rattan baskets, brought chestnut orchards belonging to their tribe, brought...

In view of these, they also unconditionally trust and support Chen Chao, as for their ignorance, it's just that they know too little!

Like Wu and Leader Yuan, a wise man like Wu and Leader Yuan must know what everything Chen Chao does is for!

As they were thinking this, they saw that the red-burned stone had been poured with cold water and cracked into many pieces!

The women of the gathering team??? (⊙_⊙) Stunned to think about life!!

?! Really!

Wouldn't we have to go out and pick up stones! Sure enough, everything Chen Chao does has deep meaning! It's just that we know too little! I just can't understand it!

Although the main purpose of this time is the production of traps, the addition of weapons and equipment cannot be relaxed, the purpose is still just in case, so this is why Chen Chao still has to add equipment to the two long-range weapons of slings and spears in addition to digging traps.

After watching several boulders shatter one after another, the women of the gathering team joined the excavation team with a dull expression of thinking about life.

The members of the excavation team had breakfast and were about to dig with wooden sticks when they were stopped by Chen Chao.

When he came back, he took a look at it, and the progress of the excavation was really not satisfactory, but the old people could also join the excavation team later, and with the new tools he gave them, the speed should be much faster.

The people of the excavation team were wondering, didn't they say that they were in a hurry to dig a long ditch, why did this make us stop.

I saw Chen Chao pick up a strange piece of wood from the ground, hold the long section, stick the lower part diagonally into the soil, and step on it with his left foot again, turning up a large piece of soil.

The first members of the excavation team only felt ???

Digging so fast? So much? So what are the 8 of us just turning over with sticks?

Is it the air that is turning over?!

Not much time was left for them to shock though, they only had one day left!

Chen Chao handed the wooden shovel to the first batch of members of the excavation team, and two new sturdy women also got the wooden shovel, and the remaining 8 women and 5 old people did not get the wooden shovel and could only use the previous wooden stick instead.

The members of the excavation team who got the wooden shovel used the wooden shovel in the same way, and quickly mastered the use of it.

However, considering that the users were mainly women and old men, he cut the sides of the wooden shovel a little round with a stone axe, and in addition to the sharp edges, it was already very close to the iron shovel he had seen before.

By the time Chen Chaoxin had made 13 wooden shovels, the construction progress of the excavation team had improved a lot compared to before, and with the addition of new tools, they had completed one-third of the progress.

And the children were not idle, they were individually commissioned to make a kind of straw rope with the thickness of the wrist, and each of them had to make it as high as himself.

Everyone knows that the bad wolves from last night will come, they will do a little more, and the bad wolves will come in the evening, and the adults will have a little more weapons to kill the bad wolves.

Even Huang Yan, who is the most mischievous on weekdays, is very serious in rubbing the grass rope today.

The whole tribe was running in good order, all for that battle at night!

In this era when speech is not fluent, at this moment, there is no pre-war mobilization, no inspirational speeches, none of this is needed!

Because the genes engraved in their bones will tell them that this is a battle between two species, either they will be wiped out, or we will be robbed of winter food and warm caves, and we will all have to face the harassment of wolves from time to time in the future, either the whole race will migrate, or die to the end! And in the coming winter, what is the difference between us, who have lost our stored food, and the extermination?!

The silent war drums have thundered, and the Tian Yuan tribe is ready to fight!
