【031】Outing
When the dawn was about to break, with the help of the faint light in the sky, Shen Nong was sitting at the entrance of the small cave, he was holding a bone knife in one hand and a wooden mask in the other, and he was very carefully chiseling on the wooden mask with a bone knife.
The mask is very crudely made, the surface is full of stubble, and it is full of nicks, and the three round holes of different sizes correspond to the position of the eyes and mouth.
Shen Nong carefully peeled off the stubble one by one, until it felt smooth to the touch, and looked at the finished mask, he showed a smile with great satisfaction: "It's finally done, they won't recognize it after I put it on now." ”
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Chen immediately took off the python skin skirt on his body, and then changed into an animal skin coat made of bear skin, and then put the mask on his face, as if he had changed people.
After doing all this, Shen Nong picked up the two bone spears he had placed at his feet earlier and waited quietly. Whenever the sun rises in the distant sky, the clansmen of Team 1 and Team 2 have to go out hunting and foraging, which is already a thing that everyone is used to.
When the first light of the morning appeared from the sky, it was just dawn, and eight strong clansmen belonging to Team One came out of the big cave, all of them holding bone spears and bone knives in their hands, obviously ready to go out hunting.
Seeing this, Shen Nong hurriedly and quietly walked down the stone steps, followed behind the eight people, and walked quickly towards the nearby forest, no one in the No. 1 team noticed that there was suddenly one more person in their team, and they were all holding a piece of fierce beast meat and chewing it intently, replenishing their physical strength.
When the figure of Team No. 1 disappeared into the forest, Xiong Sickle and Chi slowly walked out of the big cave, their expressions very helpless.
"I know that Wu will not give up the idea of going out hunting, but I didn't expect that after we rejected his hunting request yesterday, he would secretly go out with the hunting team today. Xiong Yao shook his head helplessly and said, "Chi, you follow up, you must protect the witch and not let the witch suffer any damage." ”
"Yes, Chief. With two stone spears tied to his back, two stone knives hanging from his waist, and a stone spear in his hand, after greeting Xiong Sickle, he immediately chased in the direction where Team No. 1 disappeared, and with the footsteps of his first-class warriors, it was still easy to catch up with the hunting team composed of ordinary clansmen.
After the Chi left, Xiong Sickle's face suddenly became a little serious, as if he had fallen into deep thought, and said to himself: "Wu never wanted to hunt before, now what's wrong with Wu here?"
......
The daily routine of the hunting party is to constantly search for wild beasts in the forest, and then use all means to kill the target and bring their corpses back to the tribe.
However, such a simple thing carries a huge risk, and often members of the hunting party die in the hunting process, becoming the claws of wild beasts. Therefore, the people who can join the hunting party must be strong men, otherwise they will easily die in the fight against wild beasts.
Shen Nong followed at the end of the group, and coincidentally walking in front of him were the father and son of the Duck and the Horn, both of whom had bone spears in their hands, and their expressions were very attentive to observe the surroundings to prevent any wild beasts hiding in the bushes from approaching.
The trees in this forest are very tall, and the branches are so dense that they fall down like a canopy, blocking out a lot of sunlight.
At the roots of the trees, because of the age of the trees, the soil of the earth could no longer cover the roots of these giant trees, and the thick roots of the hard and curved trees rose from the soil, blocking the way of the hunting party.
These roots are half a meter high, everyone must stride up their legs to cross smoothly, Shen Nong is the first time to walk this kind of rugged dirt road, I can't help but be curious about everything, I saw him keep looking left and right, pausing three times at a time, and soon opened a distance of more than ten steps with the hunting team.
"It's really a forest with two scenes, and there are very few such giant trees in the place where they collect berries, and judging by the height of this tree, it must be at least a few hundred years old. Shen Nong looked up at the giant trees around him and sighed.
In a previous life, it would have been impossible to see such an old tree, because it would have been hollowed out and rotted by moths, or it would have been forcibly cut down by a wood factory to make luxury furniture.
Just as Shen Nong was admiring the surrounding trees, a spotted butterfly the size of a basin suddenly flew in front of his eyes, because of its size, this butterfly flew very slowly, so slow that Shen Nong could catch it almost halfway through its flight.
But Shen Nong didn't do this, because he knew that the primeval forest was very dangerous, and anything inconspicuous here could become an existence that took your life, and the mysterious unknown was beautiful, but you were also prepared to bear the danger behind them.
Seeing unknown creatures or plants in the primeval forest is undoubtedly foolish.
Seeing the spotted butterfly flapping its wings and leaving, Shen Nong hurriedly accelerated and trotted to catch up with the hunting team, but it was precisely because of the footsteps he made when he ran that the members of the hunting team all turned their heads after noticing it, looking at this clansman who came out of nowhere.
"Who are you?" asked Shao Hao, the leader of the hunting team, immediately.
Shao Hao is a teenager who is about the same age as Chi, but his talent is not as good as Chi, and now he is only a quasi-warrior, so he can't become a first-level fighter and join the third team to go out to explore, so he can only come to the first team as a leader to exercise his actual combat experience.
"I ......" Shen Nong definitely didn't want to reveal his true identity to these clansmen, after all, this position was not far from the Huangqiu tribe now, what if they knew that they were witch queens and forcibly sent them back, Shen Nong didn't want to waste this opportunity to go out in vain.
So he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind between the lightning and flint, and replied directly without hesitation: "My name is Shen Nong, and I am a clansman in the tribe who really wants to join the hunting team, please let me hunt with you." ”
"Shen Nong?" Shao Hao frowned and muttered, "I don't think I've heard this name in the tribe." ”
And the father and son of the owl and the horn immediately looked at Shen Nong in surprise after hearing Shen Nong's voice, in the Huangqiu tribe, only the chief and the witch are qualified to wear a python skin skirt, although Shen Nong changed the python skin skirt to a bearskin beast coat before setting off, but they can still hear Shen Nong's voice.
"Wu, are you a witch?" asked Jiao immediately excitedly.
"......" Shen Nong was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect to be recognized so quickly, and he knew that he should have lowered his voice before speaking just now.
