【107】Migrating Monkeys (2)

The monkeys, who usually avoid humans when they see them, have no scruples at all, and they came to Shen Nong and the others with a ghost crying wolf howl, and then ran over from the position of two or three steps in front of them.

The number of this group of monkeys was very large, and there was no head in front of them and no tail in sight, which made Shen Nong wonder if the monkeys in the entire mountain range had escaped.

"Chirp!" An old monkey must have exhausted its physical strength, and directly sat down on the ground with weak legs, its face was very old, and two white eyebrows like green willow weeping branches grew from the corners of its eyes to its chest, which looked very interesting.

For the fall of the old monkey, the passing monkeys just kept yelling when they saw it, but none of the monkeys were willing to stop their steps to help the old monkey up.

"Chirp!" the old monkey shouted anxiously, and then he got up from the ground with his hands and slowly followed the monkeys towards the front.

After about three minutes, the group of monkeys completely disappeared from everyone's eyes, and no one knew why the monkeys migrated, but such a strange thing inevitably made people feel furious in their hearts, as if some disaster was about to befall them.

"This ......," Chi said hesitantly, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Shen Nong frowned, turned to Huang and asked, "Have you ever seen such a scene in the mountains before?"

"Nope. Huang shook his head: "This is also the first time I've seen this." ”

Anything that he couldn't figure out, Shen Nong never wasted time thinking about it, I saw him walk out of the protective circle composed of Shao Hao and others, and walk straight towards the big tree he had chosen before.

Trees are undoubtedly the best compass in the forest, and you can use several ways to find your way from a single tree.

Vegetation that grows on the south side of the tree is usually much more lush than vegetation that grows on the north side.

In the same way, trees will grow very lush and leafy to the south, and much sparse to the north.

Then there is the bark on the trunk, which is smooth to the touch when facing south, but rough to the touch.

If none of the above methods can accurately determine the direction, then the only way to do this is to use the most violent and laborious method, cutting off a tree at the waist, and then judging the direction through the sparseness and tightness of the annual rings.

South-facing rings tend to be very sparse, while north-facing rings are significantly tighter.

Fortunately, Shen Nong's luck was good, the smoothness and roughness of the bark at both ends of the big tree he selected were very obvious, and people could directly judge the correct location of the north and south.

"Let's go this way, the Cangtao tribe should be in this direction. Shen Nong referred to the symbol of the Cangtao tribe marked on the animal skin, directly chose a direction, then got up and climbed onto the back of the white wolf, and took the lead in walking towards the direction he chose.

Naturally, Chi and the others would not question Shen Nong's decision-making, so they hurriedly pushed the cart and turned around to chase after it.

......

Although the direction was replanned, the sun had completely disappeared into the sky, and the whole world was plunged into darkness at this time, and a little moonlight fell from the sky, but it could not completely illuminate the path ahead of Shen Nong and the others.

The surroundings became pitch black, and the danger would undoubtedly increase several times in such a dark night, so Shen Nong asked everyone to stop and camp in place.

"It's too dark to see the road ahead. Peck couldn't help but complain.

Huang also knew that all this was because of him, if he hadn't led the way indiscriminately, took the wrong one and kept it hidden, everyone wouldn't have been reduced to spending the night in the wilderness now.

You must know that the night in the forest is much more dangerous than the day, and many wild beasts and fierce beasts will become more brutal and ferocious at night because they do not have enough to eat.

In the forest at night, the visibility of a person's vision is greatly reduced, and it is difficult to observe if there are any wild animals approaching nearby.

Shen Nong used the bone whistle that Luo Man gave him, and commanded the three white wolves he brought out this time to block everyone's north, east, and west directions with their huge size, and then used the two board cars to block the rest of the south, so that everyone would hide in an encirclement, and if something wanted to attack them, the three white wolves would become everyone's meat shield as soon as possible.

"It's so dark, and there's no ancestral fire. ”

"I'm so hungry......"

The Huangqiu tribe's method of making fire has always relied on the ancestral fire, and they have not invented any skills to artificially produce flames, so once they leave the ancestral fire, the people of the Huangqiu tribe will directly lose the right to use the flames.

The last time he slaughtered the entire white-bearded ape group by smoking on the stone mountain, Shen Nong used wood to make fire to get the flame, and the scene of the flame was always vivid.

"Wu, can you use the same method as last time to create flames?" asked Shen Nong expectantly.

"Last time?" Shen Nong was stunned for a moment when he heard Chi's question, but he quickly reacted, and he suddenly said, "You mean drilling wood to make fire?"

Chi nodded, the last time he was on the stone mountain, Shen Nong had told him the name of this method of making fire, and until now Chi still has this name firmly in his mind.

"I don't need to use that method this time, it's too tiring, and I almost didn't wear out my hand skin last time to drill wood for fire. Shen Nong waved his hand and said, while a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

I saw him reach into the animal skin bag that he hung on his waist, and in a while of fumbling, Shen Nong took out a wooden tube that was only two fingers thick from the animal skin bag.

Knowing that everyone couldn't see what they were holding now, Shen Nong directly broke it on the wooden tube and pulled off the lid of the wooden tube.

I saw Shen Nong blow lightly, and the bundle of unknown withered grass contained in the wooden tube instantly ignited, bringing a glimmer of light to this dark environment.

"Fire!" The moment they saw the light of the fire in the wooden tube, everyone present unconsciously became excited, and no one thought that they would be able to see the fire at this time.

The most surprised of the crowd was Chi, he thought that Shen Nong's drilling wood for fire was powerful enough, but he didn't expect Shen Nong to come up with a more magical method than drilling wood for fire.

"Hey, hey. Seeing everyone's reaction, Shen Nong couldn't help but smile proudly, he knew that when he showed his hand, anyone would be surprised by it, and he had a gushing admiration for himself from his heart.

"Don't even look at it, go find some dead grass nearby. Shen Nong looked at his clansmen who were sitting still and couldn't help but urge.

You must know that the flame in the wooden tube in his hand will not last long.
