050 Buffalo
Wu Sang was very excited by the appearance of the buffalo, a large herbivore that was the most needed prey at the moment.
Cowhide can be made into clothing and armor, horns can be made into sharp weapons, and beef is a nutritious ingredient.
As long as you can hunt a cow, this winter's problem will be almost solved!
The food consumption of eight people a day is more than ten catties, this is the situation of eating only meat, if you find wild vegetables and grains, the demand will be much lower.
One wolf meat can make eight people eat for three or four days and be rich, two jackals are only enough to eat for four or five days, and if a cow saves a little, it is not a problem to survive the cold winter period of February and March with other food.
"Our current weapons shouldn't be able to hurt buffaloes, and if we want to hunt buffaloes, we can only use traps." Zhang Xiangyang squatted on the ground and quickly expressed his opinion.
In order not to attract the attention of the buffalo, Zhang Han and Wu Sang also squatted down.
Wu Sang said solemnly: "We are not sure if those buffaloes will stay with us for a long time, whether they will just appear, or if they pass through us during the migration, if you want to hunt, you must start as soon as possible!" ”
Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "How to catch it is a problem, the size of those things is not small, and I feel a little scary from such a distance." ”
Wu Sang quickly said: "You can try to attract with food, as long as you lure a cow out of the herd, the matter will be solved after that, and if necessary, you can let Lu Shiqin and Zhang Bin come over to help!" ”
For this prey that can solve most of the current problems, Wu Sang has the fighting spirit that must be caught.
Zhang Xiangyang looked at the buffaloes in the distance who were playing in the water and bathing by the river, and felt that some strange thoughts passed through his mind, but he couldn't think of what it was anyway.
That kind of flash of inspiration, but I can't think of what kind of aura it is, makes people anxious and bored.
Wu Sang noticed Zhang Xiangyang's expression, thinking that Zhang Xiangyang was opposing his proposal, so he said: "This hunt must be cautious, the more manpower, the smaller the chance of failure, and if we don't attack these buffaloes now, we will face those wild wolves and even apes at that time!" ”
"Ape ......" After Zhang Xiangyang heard this word, he suddenly brightened up and said quickly: "I thought of one thing, that ape monster is too big, and there is more than one, so what does it eat?" ”
Zhang Han showed a puzzled expression, he had never thought about this question.
"What to eat?"
Wu Sang quickly had an answer and looked at the buffalo herd over there, "You mean to say that those buffaloes are the prey of the ape monsters?" ”
Zhang Xiangyang didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Wu Sang, what kind of place is that area we have never set foot in?" When I came out of the cave, I couldn't see the surrounding scenery, and I never got close to that side after that, and I couldn't see the place on the back of another big mountain from the mountain. ”
Wu Sang said: "It should be a valley, I have observed it from a distance on the top of the mountain, it is a valley area with huge trees, there is a waterfall, the plants grow very luxuriantly, I think there must be a lot of food." ”
"It's like that kind of large creature, the food is definitely not single, and it is not a giant whale, it must eat meat every day!" Zhang Han said his opinion, frowned and thought about the gap between humans and apes, and began to calculate the approximate volume ratio.
Soon, Zhang Han said: "I estimate that if the ape monster eats a cow, it will eat a buffalo every day." ”
The larger the volume, the smaller the amount of food, most of which rely on daily accumulation and storage of fat.
Bugs can eat much heavier food than their own body in a day, but humans, or larger whales, can only eat 1 to 5 percent of their body weight.
Replace it with more nutritious beef, and one a day is about the same.
Zhang Xiangyang didn't care if the ape could eat a cow in a day, but cared about the ape's recipe.
"If a herd of buffalo is found close to us, will the monster extend its range to us?"
This is a very serious problem, even more serious than the problem of buffalo.
Wu Sang pondered for a moment and said, "Now can you be sure that these buffaloes are food for ape monsters?" ”
Zhang Xiangyang shook his head, "No, I'm not sure if these buffaloes migrated from nearby, or if they were creatures that already existed nearby. ”
This kind of thing is a biologist's business, Zhang Xiangyang is not sure, he has never seen a real buffalo at all except for seeing a buffalo on TV, and he doesn't know much about the habits of this creature, so he can't guarantee anything.
Wu Sang said: "I want to hunt buffalo, what do you two think?" Think it's okay? I can talk about any concerns, and I have things that I can't consider. ”
Zhang Han shook his head, "I'm in favor of hunting, but how to hunt is a problem, what about you?" ”
Zhang Xiangyang said: "I am also in favor of hunting, whether this group of buffaloes is something on the ape monster recipe or not, it does not prevent us from attacking them, as long as we exist, some things cannot be escaped, friction between the two sides is inevitable from the day of birth, we have to do only one thing, we live, they die!" ”
"That's it! Start figuring out how to hunt buffalo now! Pressed for time! Wu Sang breathed a sigh of relief, if everyone agreed, it would be much more convenient.
As long as there is a buffalo as a food reserve, after having a basic food guarantee, everyone's life will be much easier, and there is no need to live a tense life every day like this.
Zhang Xiangyang has a very strong sense of aggression in hunting, which Wu Sang has already determined, this young man always has a sense of aggression towards the beasts around him who want to kill them all, but he is extremely gentle when dealing with humans.
Anyone who is a threat to himself, Zhang Xiangyang's first reaction is to expel him, and try to exterminate him.
Wu Sang looked at Zhang Han and Zhang Xiangyang, "Let's exchange opinions, what I think of is to use food to lure lonely buffaloes, what about you?" ”
Zhang Han said: "I don't think it's reliable, what I think of is to use the advantage of the bow and arrow, shoot into the eye of the buffalo, and then use the long-pole weapon to consume and attack." ”
Zhang Xiangyang has no experience in dealing with buffaloes, and he can scare away buffaloes by attacking with fire, but at the moment, time is pressing, and weapons and equipment are all problems, so the horns of the buffalo are not for watching and playing.
"What I think of is the three of us driving the buffalo into our watering hole, but I'm not sure if the buffalo will attack us, and it would be funny if we were just getting close to them and being attacked by a herd of bulls."
Zhang Xiangyang said something that was not ridiculous at all, if those buffaloes showed hostility directly after encountering them, then they were the ones who wanted to run.
