Chapter Forty-Six: The Hunt of Failure
"Haha, I said why there are so many snakes along the way, it turns out that there are bigger ones here. ”
"Luckily, our prey has fallen in the past few days!"
Uncle Lin looked at the group of pythons on the grass at this time, and said with a smile, without a trace of worry on his face.
The same is true of the old hunters around, but they still seem to be a little inexplicably happy.
"Dad, there are so many big snakes here, don't we avoid them, could it be that the prey you said is these big snakes?!
Huzi was very surprised when he heard Uncle Lin's words, and he was a little flustered about using this huge python as a hunting object, and Pang Yuan also stared at Uncle Lin on the side.
"What are you afraid of! These pythons look scary, and their strength is indeed very large, but they are not poisonous, mainly by winding to strangle or suffocate the prey, and then swallow it directly whole, and slowly digest it in the stomach. ”
"There are so many of us, we all have weapons in our hands, there is no problem in hunting these pythons, just be careful. ”
Uncle Lin explained to the two teenagers in detail, and then pointed to the largest and longest python in the grass group.
"Did you see the biggest python? The meat on this big python alone is enough for a group of us to eat for several days!"
"Everyone be careful for a while, these pythons don't know what to hunt, anyway, their eyesight seems to be very poor, and everyone will wait until they get close before they get up, don't scare the prey away." ”
"Several people deal with a big python together, don't be reckless, first prick the snake's head seven inches, do it together, and be careful not to be entangled by the python. ”
Looking at the huge and dangerous python in the distance, in the eyes of Uncle Lin and other old hunters, it could only become a pathetic prey, and while secretly speaking, Pang Yuan and Huzi gradually calmed down.
The teenagers were still a little nervous in their hearts, but the faint fear of the original was completely dissipated, and a pride of daring to hunt everything rose instead.
Next, the people did not talk again, and everyone slowly approached the python on the grass by the lake, and they all carefully paid attention to the dry branches and other objects under their feet, trying to avoid making loud noises.
The hunters are getting closer and closer to the pythons......
The group clenched the weapons in their hands, their eyes flashed with danger, and they quietly narrowed the distance.
However, at this time, I don't know if I was alarmed by the slight footsteps of the crowd or the shaking of the ground, or if I had had enough of the warm sunbathing.
The quiet pythons on the grass gradually moved, as if they had woken up from their sleep, twisting their round bodies and quickly crawling towards the lake.
"No matter, quick, short spear, javelin, shoot it!"
Uncle Lin was in a hurry, he couldn't wait any longer, he couldn't get anything if he continued like this, so he hurriedly commanded everyone to throw long-range weapons.
The hunters didn't have time to aim, and one by one the short spears and javelins came out of their hands, and instantly stabbed towards the group of pythons.
However, the pythons climbed very quickly and entered the water directly, and the hunters were a little far away from the prey, and everyone threw them directly in a hurry, and they lost their usual accuracy, and the effect was naturally not good.
Only one big python was pierced at the end of the tail, such a distance, the strength was exhausted, and the short spear was not deep into the flesh, this big python slid straight into the lake with the short spear, and easily escaped.
In a few moments, the short spear floated on the surface of the lake not far from the shore, and it was clear that this round of surprise attacks was fruitless.
This effort was fruitless, and an additional short spear was lost, and the hunters were naturally slightly unhappy.
Li Xing looked at the short spear in the lake, and couldn't help but burst out in a low voice, and the teenagers on the side were also a little disappointed in their hearts.
"Okay, don't look at it, isn't it just that the hunt was unsuccessful, hunters miss a lot, and there will be a next time if it doesn't succeed this time!"
Uncle Lin was not much disappointed in the failure of the hunt, and came over to comfort everyone.
Wang Fatzi, who was standing next to him, was used to this kind of result, and there was no expression on his face, but he felt a little pity for the short spear he had just lost.
At this time, the sun was still shining in the sky, and although the sky still looked bright, it was actually not early, and it would not be long before the sky gradually darkened.
"Let's cheer up, it's not early, let's find a campsite to settle down in, there are too many snakes and insects here, we can't stay long at night, let's go to other places to see, and come back tomorrow to continue hunting." ”
Uncle Lin looked up at the sky in the distance and said to everyone.
Pang Yuan and the others naturally had no opinion, they all nodded in agreement, and a few people walked over first to take back the short spears and other weapons on the grass.
As for the short spear on the surface of the lake, it seemed that it would not be able to float to the shore for a while today, so the hunters did not bother with it for the time being, and after packing it up, the team turned decisively and went into the deep forest to look for camp.
They rounded the great lake, marched to one side, and after walking for a while, they came to a high ground, quite above the ground, where the terrain was flat and wide, and the vegetation was relatively scarce.
Not far in front of the highlands, a small stream can be faintly seen passing by among the trees, making a subtle sound of flowing water, which is crisp and refreshing.
In the eyes of the hunters, this is a great place to stay, and it is suitable for camping for the night.
The group was overjoyed, and soon set foot on the high ground, the land was solid and flat, and the hunters first scattered to check the environment around the land, and by the way, drove away the snakes and insects nearby.
After confirming that it was safe and cleaned up, Pang Yuan's team camped here with peace of mind.
Put down the equipment on their bodies for the time being, and the group began to get busy, several hunters were responsible for setting up tents, and Pang Yuan and Huzi also followed over to help.
A few hunters were left on the high ground to keep watch and guard, and the rest went to collect branches and leaves for fire, or directly cut down the thick branches of the nearby trees and cut them again.
The division of labor is clear and orderly.
