Starting from the top of the mountain, until leaving the tribe, Caesar has received a lot of attention.

When walking down the road of glory, the people on both sides of the road have almost all their attention on it.

Why did the wolf go out with the hunting party?

Are they crazy?!

Such a novelty is enough to make the people who stay in the tribe talk for a long time.

The first time he hunted with the team, what Lang Ga said to Shao Xuan was: You don't have to do anything, just keep up. And now, Caesar's first test is also to "keep up".

The people of the tribe went out hunting, relying on the training in the early stage and the teaching of their predecessors, while Caesar, after following into the mountains and forests, was more of an expression of the instinct of a wild beast.

Relying on this instinct, Caesar did not fear or flinch in the face of the strange environment around him, but became more and more excited. Even if he was locked up in the tribe for two years, he grew up in the tribe since he was a child, and after he came out, when he entered this mountain forest, the wildness was still aroused, and he ran like a free wind, and if the hunting team did not allow it, it would have been eager to have a throat.

At first, Caesar was also curious about the surroundings and sniffed around, but after Shao Xuan's warning a few times, it restrained a lot, and now, under the influence of instinct, it followed the hunting team closely and did not lag behind.

Sometimes the people of the hunting party walked directly through the trees, and Caesar could not go up the trees, just below. When he was in the light, he slowed down slightly, and when he got to the dark, he accelerated and began to run, which was a nature hidden in Caesar's bloodline, and he never showed it when he was in the tribe. When you get to the mountains and forests, it's very obvious.

Seeing that Caesar had been following, he did not cause any trouble. The people of the hunting team are also a lot more relieved. On the way, Caesar helped the hunting party lure away a large beast and returned to the team with ease.

Over the hills. Came to the first stronghold, rested for the night, started in the morning, went down the mountain to hunt.

When going down the mountain, Lang Ga said to Shao Xuan: "Ah Xuan, keep an eye on Caesar, there are traps in the next area, be careful not to let it be ......"

The words are not finished yet. Langa saw that Caesar had gone to the place where the trap was placed, and looked left and right, as if he was walking around, but not a single foot was in the trap.

The people of the hunting team also slowed down and looked over there.

In this area, there are very few large beasts and fierce beasts, and the traps set here are actually mainly to prevent them, and if there are other large beasts or fierce beasts chasing up the mountain, they can also rely on these traps to block it.

But. At this moment, Caesar walked inside, but there was no sound of a trap being launched.

Coincidental?

That's too much of a coincidence. There were more than a few traps in the area where Caesar walked, but none of them had been brought away until now.

Everyone looked sideways at Lang Ga, Lang Ga's face was red, and his eyebrows were also stirred again and again, obviously the situation in front of him was also beyond his expectations.

"I've taught him how to recognize some of the pitfalls, and I've practiced a lot in this area. Shao Xuan said calmly. He had long expected that the trap over there would not be a threat to Caesar. When in the Horde, such traps are a necessary training task every day.

"It'...... Will you avoid traps?" Lang Ga swallowed. It's hard to accept.

If even such a beast knows how to avoid traps, then who will set the trap for?

"Come back in the afternoon. I'll change the one over there. Lang Ga said heavily. He really didn't put much effort into the trap over there, after all, the chance of using it over there is not much, and it is rare to use it once a year, and every time he comes over, he just checks whether the trap is broken and whether there are any small beasts that have strayed in.

Seeing Lang Ga like this, Mai thought it was funny, "Okay, the beast also knows how to learn, Lang Ga, you have to be more attentive." ”

After descending the mountain, Caesar did not run far, but followed closely beside Shao Xuan, vigilantly watching his surroundings.

The place below the mountain was missing three thorns and black winds last year, but other fierce beasts soon entered this area, so it was still not to be taken lightly.

"Mai, there's a hole!" called Ang, who was in charge of scouting ahead, in a low voice.

When the others heard Ang's words, their hearts were overjoyed.

"Where?!" After making sure that there were no dangerous beasts nearby, everyone immediately surrounded Ang's side.

Shao Xuan and Caesar also came over, only to see Ang push aside a bunch of knee-high grass, and a hole that was not too big was exposed.

"They're out!" said Ang happily.

The "they" in Ang's mouth are a kind of green rodents, and the people of the hunting party call them "grass rats", because they look like a green mass of grass, and the hair on their bodies is relatively thick, which is very similar to grass, and when they stay quietly in the grass, it is difficult to be found by the people of the hunting party, and they will come out to move out during the day and night.

The reason why everyone in the hunting team is so excited is actually because of this season, a plant that grows on the grass rat - rat wood.

Ratwood is a kind of seedling stage parasitic plant, the seed is very similar to a kind of nut that grass rats like to eat, every year before the arrival of winter, grass rats will collect food in various places in the mountains and forests, and then store food in holes several meters deep in the ground, store abundant food, hide in the hole throughout the winter, eat, drink and sleep.

However, the climate of this basin under the mountain is different from that of the mountain, and the winter is much warmer than that of the mountain in the four seasons of the year, when there is no snow. Even so, the grass rats that live in this basin still maintain the habit of hibernation.

When the winter is approaching on the other side of the mountain, the grass rats in the basin begin to hoard food and burrow in the winter, and most of the time they sleep throughout the winter, and when they wake up, they go to the "granary" to find food, and continue to sleep after eating.

The rat seeds that were picked up from the grass rat's hole began to germinate after being eaten, breaking out of the grass rat's body and growing into a seedling similar to the grass rat's hair. All the energy needed for the growth of rat wood comes from grass rats, because there is no sunlight in the underground burrows.

After a whole winter, when the winter on the other side of the mountain is over, and the grass rat comes out of the hole again, the rat wood seedlings have almost grown and will break away from the grass rat at a certain time. Begin to lignify, and grow. And this time period is within fifty days after the end of winter.

Shao Xuan had seen rats and trees in the mountains and forests. Very huge tree, hard to imagine. Such a giant tree, from germination to the seedling stage, turned out to be parasitic on grass rats.

And the rat wood before lignification is very beneficial to people, and the children who eat the rat wood seedlings will have an enhanced physique, and the awakening time will be advanced, of course. There is also a quantitative effect in this, and the more you eat, the more obvious the effect will be. Even if the awakening time cannot be shortened, it can also strengthen the physique.

Many people in the hunting team have children who have not yet awakened at home, and for them, if they can awaken a year in advance, they will have more warriors in the family, and they will be able to go out hunting a year in advance, and there will be more food. And for the warriors who have awakened, the rat wood seedlings also have a certain detoxification effect. It's better than the medicine packets they usually use.

These may not be rare for people on the tribal mountains, but for those below the mountains, the attraction of rat seedlings is indeed very great.

It's more difficult. Grass rats are not easy to catch, they are too well hidden, after leaving the hole, you don't know where to jump, there are many entrances to the hole, keep one, it can still enter and exit from the other hole, unless you block the other holes. Second, you have to be in a hurry. If the rat wood has been detached from the grass rat, then it is useless to find it.

Mai looked closely at the soil at the entrance of the cave. He said calmly: "Look at this soil, they should have been out for at least half a day." ”

As soon as I heard about it, it has been a day. The joy of everyone just now cooled down a lot. They have been out of the hole for so long, and they can still be found?

"Can Caesar find it?" Ang looked at Caesar and asked Shao Xuan.

"You can give it a try. Shao Xuan said.

Hearing this, everyone's slightly cooled excitement ignited again.

"Can it really be found?"

"How to find it, it hasn't seen a grass rat. ”

"Alright, let Caesar try it first. Mai stopped the others from asking. The two children of his family have already awakened and do not need the assistance of rat seedlings, but they can also try to find its detoxification effect.

Caesar went to the entrance of the cave and sniffed at the direction of Shao Xuan, and walked around the cave again, as if he was sure of something, he had never seen a grass rat, but there was a smell of a creature around the cave, that is, a grass rat.

Caesar took a few steps in one direction and looked back at Shao Xuan.

"Uncle Mai, it may be over there. Shao Xuan said.

"Keep up!"

The crowd followed behind Caesar, who was not very fast, and sometimes warned them when they encountered fierce beasts.

Caesar, who was tracking the state, seemed very excited, and as it increased in speed, Shao Xuan knew that they were getting closer and closer to the grass rat.

Sou!

Caesar shot like an arrow, leaping high and leaping over a row of bushes in front of him, into the grass taller than a man.

"Caesar!" Shao Xuan was a little worried, he was afraid that Caesar would be too excited and ignore some dangers hidden in the grass.

The grass was so dense that it was impossible to see what was hidden inside, nor what was going on inside, but after Caesar rushed in, there was a rapid squeak, and after a while, Caesar rushed out of the grass again.

At the sight of Caesar, everyone's tense muscles loosened slightly, but soon, they were attracted by the green hairball in Caesar's mouth.

"It's a grass rat!"

"Hurry up, Ah Xuan, see if there is any rat wood on that grass rat!"

Everyone suddenly became excited.

Caesar took the grass rat in his mouth, but he did not bite it to death or to bite it.

Shao Xuan pulled the grass rat from Caesar's mouth, if it didn't have this green hair, this grass rat would be about the size of two fists, but with this green hair, its size would have swelled three times.

However, when he held it in his hand, Shao Xuan could feel the emaciation of this grass rat, which was the result of rat wood parasitism.

I didn't see the bald spots of the rat wood, I looked carefully, Shao Xuan's eyes were on a "hair" that was slightly thicker than other green hairs, and with the other hand, he put the stone knife back on his waist, and twisted the green "hair" with his free hand, and saw a thin brown lignification circle at the root of this green "hair", Shao Xuan said affirmatively: "It's still there!"

He handed the grass rat to the man next to him and asked them to cut off the green-haired rat seedling, and he looked around.

Just now when Caesar got in, he had a bad feeling, but Caesar came out quickly. Now, not only has that bad feeling not disappeared, but it has become much stronger.

Glancing at Caesar, the wolf who was still holding a grass rat just now stood up on his back.

"Uncle Mai!" Shao Xuan said in a low voice.

Mai, who was looking at the team members, saw Shao Xuan like this, realized that something was wrong, and gestured to the others.
