【057】Killing in the moonlight
The stone mountain was quiet, extremely quiet, and Shen Nong and Chi walked lightly towards the white-bearded ape's nest found during the day, carrying the straw bales lightly. After nightfall, the white-whiskered apes no longer go out, and they all hide in their nests, hugging each other to keep their bodies warm.
According to Shen Nong's own inference, the temperature difference between the forest during the day and at night should reach a gap of about 20 degrees, and the contrast is very obvious.
Often, when the tribesmen of the Huangqiu tribe go out hunting in the morning, they will feel very stuffy when they wear an animal skin skirt, but at night, even if they cover their bodies with animal skins and hay, they can still feel the cold constantly hitting the tribesmen through the gaps of these cold objects, making them shiver with cold, and they can only gather around the fire and rely on the temperature of the flame to keep warm.
Carrying a large bundle of straw to the back of the boulder where he was hiding in the morning, Shen Nong kept rubbing his arms with his hands and said: "We have to climb above the white-bearded ape's nest now, do you see those gravels? ”
With the help of the moonlight, Chi also saw the location of the rubble, only to see that the number of these rubbles was dense, large and small, if all of them were pushed down, it could indeed cover the nest of the white-whiskered ape.
Because Shen Nong had told Chi about his plan before, so at this time, Chi also roughly understood what Shen Nong wanted to do, but the biggest problem at present was how the two of them should use to conceal the ears of the white-bearded ape to climb above the nest, you must know that the white-whiskered ape's hearing is very sensitive, within ten steps, as long as something happens, they can feel it immediately.
If you want to climb to the top of the white-whiskered ape's lair, there is only one way to go, and this road is just on the left side of the cave entrance of the nest, which is very close to the entrance of the cave.
Shen Nong had to find a way to solve this problem before he could successfully climb to the top of the lair.
"Wu, if we just walk over like this, we will definitely be discovered by the white-bearded ape later. Chi couldn't help but remind.
"I know. Shen Nong nodded, pulled out a large handful of hay from the straw bale behind his back, and then pinched a few and rolled them together into a straw rope, bent down and tied them to his toes and soles.
Shen Nong's movements were very sharp, and soon most of his feet were wrapped in soft straw ropes, which made Shen Nong walk very softly, and he didn't make a sound when he stepped on the ground.
The pavement of the rocky mountain is full of small stones and fine sand, and it is easy for people to make all kinds of 'rustling' sounds when stepping on them with their bare feet, and if you walk to the entrance of the cave in this state, you will instantly attract the attention of the white-bearded ape.
And when Shen Nong's feet were wrapped with this soft straw rope, he walked as if he was stepping on cotton, whether it was fine sand or stones, he couldn't make a sound because of Shen Nong's footsteps.
The novelty of Chi was also made by pulling out the hay in the same way, and soon his feet were also wrapped with straw ropes, which looked unusually thick.
"Let's go, these two bales are useless at the moment, so we'll leave them here first. Shen Nong said softly, and then walked towards the left side of the white-bearded ape's lair, it was naturally impossible for Chi to let him go alone, and immediately strode to follow, for fear that Shen Nong would be in danger.
The closer he got to the black hole, the more nervous he became, you must know that the white-whiskered ape is a mixed-blood beast, even if the white-whiskered ape is a first-class warrior, one person can only drag one head at most, if this will alarm the two of them to the white-whiskered ape in the entire nest, then tomorrow's sun will have nothing to do with them.
Fortunately, the straw rope made by Shen Nong was indeed effective, and the footsteps of the two of them were so slight that they could almost ignore it, and it was very easy to hide the ears of the white-bearded ape and successfully came to the left side of the cave.
"Hu ......" Rao is a person who often has to fight with wild beasts and fierce beasts, and he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this meeting, but Shen Nong's expression is very serious, because he knows that the most dangerous link has not yet come.
He climbed along a half-human-wide gravel path to the top of the cave, here is a stone platform that covers the top of the cave, and the numerous gravels on the stone platform ground have been completely exposed to Shen Nong's eyes, and the number of these gravels is very large, and it is estimated that they have fallen from the cliff next to it that is as smooth as a knife.
"You move all the larger rocks over there, and pile them up as much as you can, so that we have a much better chance of completely covering up the whole mouth of the white-whiskered ape's lair in one go. Shen Nong said softly.
I saw that the position he was pointing to was the edge of the stone platform that the two of them were stepping on, and below that edge happened to be directly opposite the mouth of the white-whiskered ape's lair.
Under the light of the moon, Chi stretched out his arms and picked up a stone that was enough tall for two people, and then walked towards the position pointed by Shen Nong, and Shen Nong was not idle, he also did his best to carry the same amount of stones and put them in the position designated by himself.
At this time, the gap between warriors and non-warriors has been fully revealed, when Chi picks up a stone larger than Shen Nong's body, his steps will not be shaky, he seems to be particularly steady, and every step is slowly stepped on to prevent the gravel from making too much movement, which is detected by the white-whiskered apes in the cave below.
And Shen Nong is different, even if he has a straw rope wrapped around his feet, even if the size of the stone he moves is only half the size of the stone he moves, his steps will still easily step on the gravel on the ground and roll, and even once a semi-circular gravel almost fell to the bottom of the stone platform because of rolling, but fortunately, Shen Nong stepped on it with his feet in time, otherwise everything would be wasted.
Soon, at the edge of the stone platform, Shen Nong and Chi duo worked together to build a huge pile of rubble, which was made up of more than 200 pieces of gravel of different sizes, and if it was directly tilted down, it was enough to bury the hole in the white-whiskered ape's lair below in an instant.
Shen Nong rubbed his hands excitedly, and said to Chi a little impatiently: "Come together, let's work together to push this down." ”
