Chapter 43: The Wooden Thorn Array and the Trap
"Is there anything else that is uncomfortable?"
Seeing Ye Xi standing at the entrance of the cave, many Tushan people surrounded him, and they all cared about and greeted him.
Ye Xi's slightly heavy heart was gradually melted by this warm greeting, he was touched in his heart, and looked around, the crowd was full of people he was familiar with, warehouses, deeds, pheasants, and biting juan......
When he saw the mink in the crowd who didn't say a word, but looked at him with the same concern, Ye Xi was a little surprised, nodded and smiled at him slightly.
Mink has been silent since he came to Tushan, and he doesn't see how he has contact with people, but he actively follows the picking team into the jungle, often hunting some small game back.
Mink was stunned, the corners of his mouth moved, and he wanted to make a laugh, but failed, and when he looked again, Ye Xi had already turned his gaze.
"Thank you, I'm fine. Ye Xi said to everyone with a smile.
"It's worthy of our witch disciple, who recovered so quickly. ”
"That's, or can you kill a beast?"
"Ye Xi, you are too powerful, you can kill a fierce beast before you become a reserve soldier. ”
"What are you talking about, now Ye Xi is already a reserve soldier. ”
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. ”
Ye Xi blinked, and finally remembered that yesterday was his reserve trial, and hearing them say this, he was considered to have passed?
Ye Xi turned around and asked, "I passed the trial?"
Cone smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, Uncle Pu woke up last night and said that he saw you shoot a springbok, so you are now a reserve soldier." ”
Uncle Pu was so seriously injured yesterday, but he still remembers this...... Ye Xi was moved in his heart.
"By the way, did you bring back the carcass of the beast?"
It was a pure-blooded beast, and its core was much more precious than the Hybrid Beast core, and it would be a pity if it was thrown in the jungle and picked up by people from other tribes.
Cone: "Of course I brought it back, I have plucked my hair and shaved my flesh and thrown it in the pile of bones in the back mountain." ”
Ye Xi frowned: "Shaved meat, you won't eat it, right?" "That's poisonous.
"Don't worry, why are we so stupid, the blood that comes out of this bird is black, can we still live if we eat its meat?" the cone sighed, "But it's pure-blooded beast meat, so it's a pity to throw it away." ”
Ye Xi is also very distressed when he thinks about it now, but it would be good to be able to save his life at that time, how can he care about using poison to pollute the flesh of the fierce beast.
"The beast core isn't contaminated, is it?"
"Of course not. In other words, you killed this pure-blooded ferocious bird, and its fierce beast core chief should give it to you later. There was a faint envy in the cone's eyes.
The cone has excellent talent, and he passed the trial early to become a reserve warrior, and the reason why he has not completed the transformation of a warrior at the Great Sacrifice is because there is no good beast core in the tribe.
It would be too wasteful of the talent of the cone to use the ferocious beast core of the hybrid fierce beast, so both the witch and the chief asked the cone to wait, maybe there would be a chance to hunt a better fierce beast in the future, and so on, just waited for three years.
Ye Xi: "This fierce beast core should also have Uncle Pu's share, if he hadn't dragged it desperately, I would have died a long time ago." ”
Cone: "Uncle Pu wants a fierce beast core and it's useless, so it's naturally yours." ”
Having said that, Pu Tai almost died in a fight with the fierce beast at that time, and the spoils of war belonged to him, how could Ye Xi do such a thing.
Thinking of the fierce bird's indestructible beak and sharp claws, Ye Xi pondered whether to make a weapon for Uncle Pu?
Uncle Pu's bone knife seemed to have been pecked by the sharp beak of the fierce bird at that time, and it should be replaced.
Bang la blah.
The wind blew and swayed the trees.
Ye Xi heard the voice and turned his head to look at the jungle.
The jungle also looked back at him deeply.
Cone: "What's wrong?"
Ye Xi was uneasy, but he smiled at the cone and shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”
Neither the picking team nor the hunting team went into the jungle today, and the open space, which usually seemed empty, was a little crowded at this time.
People sat on wooden stakes or rocks, talking happily, mostly about yesterday's ferocious birds.
Among them, the loudest ones were the soldiers who went into the jungle yesterday to rescue, and these soldiers talked loudly while glancing at Ye Xi from time to time, and then continued to talk nonsense.
The open space is so big, Ye Xi can hear it clearly.
What kind of arrow killed a pure-blooded beast, that beast was so stupid that he dared to provoke Tu Shan's witch disciples, that fierce bird died in a miserable state, Balabala......
The speech is spittile, and the listening is full of relish.
This is also too exaggerated! Ye Xi's old face turned red, and he couldn't listen anymore, so he turned his head and asked, "Are they all okay today?"
The cone hadn't seen the scene yesterday, and he was listening to the conversation of the soldiers with his ears pricked up, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Yes, what can they do if they don't hunt." ”
"Speaking of Ye Xi," Cone elbowed him with his arm, "What the hell was going on at that time, was the bow and arrow really so powerful, an ordinary person can kill a fierce beast?"
Ye Xi's face was black: "This is just an ordinary bow and arrow, not an artifact, I was about to be killed by that fierce beast at that time, how can it be so easy to kill." ”
The cone grinned and said something.
Ye Xi glanced at him: "Since you are so empty, you might as well do something." ”
"What's the matter?"
Ye Xi's face suddenly became solemn: "Strengthen the tribe's defenses." ”
"Defenses?" a deep voice came from the rear.
The two turned their heads and saw that it was the chief.
Chief: "What do you want to do?"
The primitive society lacked tools, Ye Xi thought for a while and said: "Insert highly poisonous wood thorns on the ground, and then strengthen the trap." ”
It didn't take much effort to listen, so the chief nodded and said, "It's okay, anyway, the sky is empty these two days." ”
The perimeter of the tribe was covered with wooden thorns in the ground, but not with venom.
Because once the general venom is exposed to the air, the effect will be greatly reduced after two or three days, and the jungle near the original tribe has been swept by the Tushan warriors, except for dangerous nights, there are few dangerous creatures during the day.
To apply poison to a wooden thorn, the first thing is to collect the venom.
Poison generally lives in the depths of the jungle, and the warriors did not dare to enter the jungle because of the order of the witch, so they collected a small amount of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects near the tribe as quickly as possible.
They dug out the old wooden thorns, and then according to Ye Xi's instructions, buried the new wooden thorns from the outside to the inside, from shallow to deep.
The cunning thing is that a foot outward from these wooden thorn arrays, under the cover of the grass, there is a row of very shallow wooden thorns, which cannot be seen at all if you don't look carefully, and what is smeared on this row of wooden thorns is the most poisonous venom.
Ye Xi commanded everyone to dig many deep pits on the periphery of the wooden thorn array with irregular rules.
The strength of the warriors was immense, and the shallowest of these pits were five or six meters deep.
And at the bottom of the pit are densely packed with long, sharp thorns, which, once they fall, are guaranteed to die again.
The venom is limited, and the sharp thorns at the bottom of the pit are not smeared, and it is believed that falling into such a deep pit does not require venom to play a role again.
"It looks good, creatures that don't bounce well shouldn't dare to walk this field. He put down his bones and glanced at the trap with satisfaction.
Do you think this trap is done?
Ye Xi: "It's not done yet." ”
Ye Xi chopped some wooden boards, turned around and asked the craftsmen of the tribe to make thin and long wooden pieces, arranged these wooden pieces in turn on the holes to form a large rough wooden raft, and cut some grass and spread it on the wooden raft carefully.
When these things are all covered on the trap, you can't tell any difference between this piece of land and the next lot without looking closely.
The warriors who participated in digging the trap looked at the grass and were amazed.
This is too shady, right?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they really wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with this place, let alone animals, and even the tribesmen of other races wouldn't have seen the traps, right?
Ye Xi was satisfied with their reaction.
What does it matter if yin, it works!
In the end, all the traps were covered up one by one.
Afraid that the Tushan people would accidentally step on it, Ye Xi asked all the tribesmen to come over and remember the location of the trap here.
The clansmen, who had never seen the trap-making process with their own eyes, pointed to the meadow that looked no different from the other place: "There are traps here?"
"It doesn't look any different!"
The soldiers who participated in the digging of the pit watched the excitement from the sidelines, smiling and looking at the bewildered clansmen.
Ye Xi glanced at them amusedly, carefully avoided the wooden thorns on the ground and walked to the trap, squatted down and lifted a little turf, and admonished: "See, the bottom is empty, there are wooden thorns inside, and it will be miserable if you fall into it." ”
The clansmen were shocked: "What a trap!"
The chief was very satisfied with their results, and praised not only Ye Xi but also those warriors who participated.
The sun has risen.
The group frolicked back to the cave.
