Section 12: Hunting

Yellowed leaves

Attachment to the branches

But the tree was not happy

Let the wind carry it away

It swirls and falls

Instead of coming to the ground, but on a broad back, it was a young man with a young face still full of immaturity.

Su Ming lay behind the stone, keeping his whole body as immobile as possible, the sharp stone spear was in his hand, and the hands he held were full of sweat.

Not far from him, there were black ears and white fangs lurking in ambush, and they were all nervous. It was the first hunt in their lives.

It just so happened that the young hunters who had just come of age also needed training, so the leader of the hunting team in charge of training chose a safe hunting place with insurance, by a small pond in this area.

Some smaller beasts could be hunted by this pond, so they arranged for them to wait for the rabbit to ambush with the little hunters.

After an hour of ambush, there was finally some movement in the woods, and the thin creaking of the dead branches that broke off kept resounding in the jungle, from far to near, and finally fell silent in the thick trees near the edge of the pond.

A dexterous guinea pig with a pair of long ears on its head, is constantly rotating from side to side, listening carefully to the movements around it.

Most of its body was hidden in the thick grass, and it stood motionless, like a log.

Its fur resembles those half-yellow, half-green grasses, which is their natural camouflage color, giving them good protection and not being easily spotted by predators.

The breeze blew and brought a leaf to the calm surface of the pond, causing ripples.

The alert, nimble beast ears suddenly sank into the bushes and vanished.

Did it find out?

Before Su Ming could find out that there was a flaw in his place, a noisy sound suddenly sounded in the woods, and the lush grass was fallen to the ground one by one.

In the grass by the pond, one long-eared beast after another came out. Su Ming knew about this beast, and its picture was painted on the stone wall of the sacrificial stone room.

Looking at the long-eared beast in reality, it looks much better than painting on a stone wall. It was a gentle herbivore, about the size of today's Golden Retrievers, and it ran at about the same speed as Golden Retrievers.

They may seem uncharacteristic, but what is commendable is their rate of reproduction: they usually give birth to two litters a year, and two to three cubs at a time.

You may not be able to see how terrifying they are here, but when you know that they can reproduce from birth to maturity in just half a year, you can imagine their horror.

Soon, there were more than 300 long-eared beasts gathered around the pond, which was a small group compared to the tens of thousands of other races, perhaps just split from the larger race.

Seeing so many prey, finally some people couldn't hold their breath and jumped out of the lurking place, shouting: Let's go together!

Grabbing the spear in his hand, he rushed towards the long-eared beasts, and with one of them taking the lead, the others rushed out as well, and a jumble of cries came out of their mouths.

The long-eared beast, which had just arrived at the water's edge and started drinking, was still extremely vigilant, so when facing Su Ming's surprise attack, it did not fall into chaos as they planned, but retreated in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the prey was about to escape from the encirclement, Su Ming and the others instantly turned red-eyed, gave up the negotiated formation, and relied on their own personal strength to pursue the long-eared beast with all their might.

The two teams that were about to break away, under the leadership of Su Ming and the three of them, took some of the strongest little hunters to quickly attack, and soon entered the back team of the long-eared beasts.

I saw that the spear in Su Ming's hand flew quickly from side to side, and one after another long-eared beasts were picked up in the sky, and after falling to the ground, they swayed weakly and their limbs, and they didn't move for a while, losing their lives.

White Fang and Black Ear followed Su Ming's left and right sides like Dharma protectors, and they also frantically attacked the long-eared beasts on the side, unleashing the killing in their hearts and bloodlines like demon gods.

But from the direction they occasionally looked in the direction of Su Ming, they knew that they were not butchers who had lost their minds, but executioners who were very sober and calm.

The sudden killing broke the order of the long-eared beast's retreat, and the team began to disorganize and began to flee in all directions.

During an ambush, if the team is disorganized, you can fish in the water and hunt some long-eared beasts. But now trailing behind their ranks to hunt will make a neat team more rewarding, but now the long-eared beast ranks are starting to get out of order, and scattered teams will make this hunt extremely inefficient.

After seeing the situation of the long-eared beast team, in order to hunt more, Su Ming did not use the spear to assassinate one by one, but used the spear as a stick, and with a blow from left to right, he could knock down a group of long-eared beasts.

This simply injures them and leaves them for the team behind to hunt, so that they can travel quickly and hunt more prey throughout the hunt.

After seeing that Su Ming was able to defeat more long-eared beasts by doing this, the hunters who were at the top of the intermediate body forging technique also learned from Su Ming to use the spear as a stick, and those who were lower in strength had no choice but to hunt those long-eared beasts that were already injured.

Finally, after all the long-eared beasts were scattered and there would be no big gains if they continued to pursue, Su Ming and the others stopped and began to turn around to hunt the long-eared beasts that were left behind.

The hunt is over, and in a clearing, the harvest of this hunt is stacked, a total of one hundred and eighty-six long-eared beasts!

This is still a hunt that is not the best time to attack, and after such a huge harvest, it has created the history of the Fire Tribe.

You must know that in the history of the tribe, the first time the new hunters carried out such a hunt, they did not have much harvest, generally only about twenty or thirty, and the most one was only more than seventy.

And there are a total of one hundred and eighty-six in this hunt, which can also reflect from the side that the strength of the new generation of the Fire Tribe has far exceeded that of the previous generation.

Now the sun had just risen in the middle of the sky, and the hunted long-eared beasts were enough, so they divided most of the men and carried the hunted long-eared beasts back to the cave.

Su Ming, on the other hand, took eighteen of the strongest hunters to continue to explore the forest, learn about the surrounding geology and plants, and collect some tree materials by the way, hoping to find trees suitable for bowing.

Following the direction of the tribal hunting team, Su Ming led his companions to search and advance, and on the way, he also used stone axes to chop some very resilient trees from time to time.

He also constantly observed the rocks and soil as he passed, hoping to find some useful minerals, preferably some metals, hard metals.
