"It's Wu them!" The members of the hunting team were all sitting at the entrance of the stone cave at the foot of the mountain, waiting for Shen Nong and the others to return, and after seeing Shen Nong and Shao Hao's figures appear in the field of vision, everyone immediately surrounded them and helped the two of them drag the stretcher.

"Wu, Shaohao, you are finally back. The owl said very excitedly, this time Shi Li was arrested, the Huangqiu tribe dispatched a witch, a leader, and a first-class warrior to rescue him, the lineup is very luxurious, but at the same time, if these three people have any mistakes, the loss of the Huangqiu tribe is also very huge, especially Shen Nong, who is the most critical cornerstone of the Huangqiu tribe.

Fortunately, seeing that the three of them were safe and sound, although two of them did not look so healthy, but fortunately, there were no casualties, and the owl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone knows that the forest in the dark is very dangerous, and many wild beasts that only move at night have come out of their nests, and after enduring the hunger pangs of the whole day, they will go to all costs, desperately, savagely and brutally to find any prey that can be hunted, and tear them to pieces.

Therefore, the people of the Huangqiu tribe never leave the clan land after the sun goes down, they all stay in the cave honestly, and push a huge stone to cover the entrance of the cave, so as to prevent the fierce beasts hunting here from discovering them.

Yesterday, I learned that Shen Nong and the three of them broke into the forest when the sun was about to set, and the members of the hunting team didn't have to worry about how worried they were, if it weren't for not knowing the location of Shen Nong and the others, I am afraid that these few people would have rushed into the forest to find Shen Nong and them.

"Did anything happen to your side after we left yesterday?" Shen Nong asked the owl.

"At night, many wild beasts came up at the foot of the mountain, and they smelled the blood of our prey hiding in the cave, and they all wanted to go in and grab food, but fortunately, we had already blocked the entrance to the cave with big stones, and those wild beasts could not enter, and then they all slowly left. The owl said.

"What about my two cows?" Shen Nong was stunned, he had seen the capacity of the cave with his own eyes, after loading the seven bighorn deer that he had hunted at the beginning, there was only a quarter of the area left in the entire cave, and Shen Nong, Chi and Shaohao later hunted at least more than ten beasts, plus the other hunting team members themselves hunted, in the end, it was impossible for that cave to hold so many prey. And where were the extra prey and the two white bulls when the beasts attacked last night?

"Our tribe has dug more than one cave in the foothills of the Black Mountain, and there is a bigger cave in a higher position than this one, and yesterday after you left, I took them to move all their game and the two oxen to that cave. ”

"Oh. Shen Nong breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Shen Nong and the three of them have returned, and the hunting team has also harvested enough food this time, which is enough for the entire tribe to eat for a while, the group plans to return directly to the Huangqiu tribe, after all, it has been a day since they left the tribe, and the hunting team has never stayed outside overnight when they went out hunting before, and this time they suddenly did not return overnight, which will inevitably make the tribesmen worried.

Especially in this hunting team, there is also the existence of Shen Nong, Xiong Yao must have been anxious at this time, if he doesn't go back, maybe the people of the entire tribe will start to wonder if the hunting team has encountered some accidents outside, and all the members have been buried under the mouth of the beast.

"With so much prey, can we bring it back?" Shen Nong couldn't help but ask, looking at the beast corpses stuffed in the cave.

"We can't bring it back with us just once, so we'll drag a few heads back to the tribe first, and then come back and move the rest. Shao Hao said.

I saw that the members of the hunting team were in groups of two, and every two of them carried a prey, and Shao Hao, as a quasi-warrior, had much greater physical strength than them, so he chose to carry a prey by himself.

Shen Nong was more relaxed, before leaving, he asked Shao Hao to make a hole in the noses of the two white cows, and then strung them with animal tendons, so that it was easy to control. With the little white cow in his hand, the big white cow didn't dare to make any struggle, because he was afraid that Shen Nong would hurt his child, so he was honestly led by Shen Nong, and even Shen Nong put the Chi and Shi Li on its back and let it carry it.

Shao Hao pushed the stone to block the entrance of the cave to prevent other beasts from sneaking in to steal food after they left, and when he was done with this, the group went on the road, and everyone walked straight in the direction of the Huangqiu tribe.

From the verdant green flat foothills, the figures of the moving hunting party were slowly shrinking, and the sun shone on them and pulled a long shadow on the surface of the grass, and finally disappeared into the forest as small black dots.

......

"Chief, haven't the witches come back yet, they won't ......," Bone couldn't help but ask, standing beside Bear Scythe.

As the clansman responsible for delivering food to Wu, he was the only one in the entire Huangqiu tribe who knew that Shen Nong had gone out and disappeared for a day, so he was also very worried at the moment, so he wanted to find out some news from Xiong Yao.

"Don't talk nonsense about this matter, there is Chi to protect it, unless they encounter a pure-blooded beast, Chi will definitely be able to protect the witch back. Xiong said lightly.

However, his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, and Xiong Sickle was also very anxious and irritable, but as the chief of the tribe, he couldn't easily show these emotions, otherwise even he would panic, let alone what would happen to the other clansmen when they learned about it.

Wu and the chief are the two most important people in a tribe, the chief usually manages all kinds of things in the tribe, is responsible for leading the tribe to resist all kinds of external dangers, resist the enemy's attacks, basically where something happens in the tribe, he has to take care of it, if the chief himself can make up his mind and know what to do, then everything is up to him personally.

But if the chief himself feels lost and doesn't know what to do, he has to consult the witches in the tribe, who are not only useful when they are sacrificial, divination, blessing, and saving people, but also provide ideas and choices for the chief, and have the right to decide on major matters.

In terms of importance, the importance of Wu is far higher than that of the chief, because the chieftain is selected from the warriors of the tribe, as long as you are smart and strong, and have made a lot of contributions to the tribe, after the death of the previous chief, or the previous chieftain made a decision that caused the tribe to lose a lot, you have the opportunity to be selected by everyone as the new chief.

And the succession of the witch is not so easy, because it is not just a random person to choose a witch, he is a witch, the witch needs to be able to use those magical witchcraft, the witch needs to have the wisdom and wisdom that ordinary people do not have, and can bring the dawn of hope to the tribe when it is in danger, lead them out of the crisis, survive the disaster, and maintain the continuation of the tribe's bloodline.

When a shaman had a premonition that he was about to leave this world, he selected a young man with the most qualifications to be a witch from his clan, adopted him as his own witch, and taught him all kinds of witchcraft during this time, imparting all the experience and knowledge he knew, so that the witch could become a new witch after his death, and lead the clan to continue to live on this land with maturity.

Shen Nong's predecessor had only been a witch for a few years, and he was still a young and good young man in terms of physical appearance, so it was naturally impossible to keep witches, which led to the fact that if Shen Nong really died, the Huangqiu tribe would fall into the embarrassing situation of having no witches and completely lose their spiritual beliefs.

Just when Xiong Yao was standing next to the ancestral fire with a serious face, silently praying to the ancestral fire for Shen Nong to come back safely, many clansmen's noisy voices suddenly sounded outside the big cave, and they all shouted happily: "The hunting team is back!

After hearing this voice, Xiong Sickle and's faces suddenly soothed, and the hunting party that had not returned this night had finally returned!
