This time, the place where they went to hunt was not the river beach, it was too far away from the small mountain, and it was not suitable to go at this time, otherwise it would be night when they came back, and the jungle at night was not their world, but the world of fierce beasts! This time they went to the place where Chen Xu harvested his prey for the first time.

Leaving the hill and heading west, bypassing several dangerous areas, you will come to a plain-like area, where long artemisia grass flutters in the wind, a meadow in the middle of a dense forest, where countless herbivores inhabit.

This is the most prosperous hunting ground in the region, except for the small river beach.

Quietly rushed out of the dense forest, checked the scene in front of him, and a hunting scene like an African savannah appeared in Chen Xu's eyes.

Flocks of staring sheep leisurely gnawed on the grass, looking up from time to time, looking around at the surrounding scene, a sturdy elk wandering in the grass, that leisurely demeanor like a scholar in later generations, full of the taste of freedom.

Between the laid-back and alert herbivorous fauna are carnivorous animals ready to attack, from herds of jackals to individual spotted leopards to saber-toothed tigers with leaky teeth.

To Chen Xu's surprise, in the grass not far from him, there were a few lions lying on their stomachs, yes, maned lions!

"There are even lions, could it be that there is a grassland beyond this jungle?"

Chen Xu, who had never been out of this jungle, couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, it seemed that the world at this time was not all the sphere of influence of the jungle.

Leaving some complicated thoughts behind, Chen Xu began to observe the situation on the field, he had to find a suitable insertion point, otherwise today's hunting operation might not be too smooth.

A moment later, a herd of leisurely zebras fell into his eyes, this group of zebras was in a very good location, there were no dangerous animals around, and there were wide pastures on both sides, and there was no dense forest for them to sneak in quickly.

After observing for a while, Chen Xu quickly selected the prey, asked for a stone axe from the No. 1 ape-man, used his internal force, and cut down a few small trees with the thickness of the bowl mouth around him, and simply cut them into the prototype of several wooden shovels.

Concocted in turn, and soon he had eight rudimentary wooden shovels, but they were enough for digging pits, especially the soft and corrupt soil under the artemisia grass.

After selecting seven sturdy apes from the hunting team, Chen Xu raised the wooden shovel in his hand and began to teach them how to hunt and dig traps.

After a while, under Chen Xu's continuous demonstration, these seven apes quickly understood what he meant, although they still didn't know why they dug up, but at least they were able to dig a decent pit under his command!

"Rome was not built in one fell swoop, and there is a long way to go to teach the ape-man! But it is enough to dig a huge pit and catch a few zebras!"

With a low sigh, after the seven ape-men had mastered the skill of digging pits, Chen Xu repeated the old trick, using the stone axe in his hand to cut down a few small trees in the jungle, and made them into wooden shovels that could dig pits, and handed them to the other apes in the hunting team.

In a small amount of effort, the twenty-four apes in the hunting team, including Chen Xu's twenty-five, were already a wooden shovel in each person, and began to work in full swing under his command.

Perhaps due to the low-lying terrain, the rainwater in the jungle generally seeps into here, and the pit site Chen Xu chose this time is very rich in water in the decaying soil below, which makes these unqualified wooden shovels useful.

With the efforts of 25 sturdy ape-men, a large pit three meters wide, five meters long, and three meters deep was dug in less than an hour at the junction of the jungle and the grassland.

I have to say that although these apes are not very intelligent, they really have a lot of strength, and once they have modern tools, their work efficiency is far higher than imagined.

At least, Chen Xu didn't expect to be able to dig such a grand pit so quickly, of course, the moist soil here occupies a large factor, and the wooden shovel occupies another big factor.

After the basic works were completed, Chen Xu commanded the ape-men to start repairing the big pit, extending it to both sides by three or four meters, and widening the width by another two meters.

As for the depth, it did not continue to deepen, because further down there was a solid hard soil, which could not be dug up with this simplified version of the wooden shovel!

After digging the big pit, looking at this work that is eight meters long, five meters wide, and three meters deep, Chen Xu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and show a smile.

In any case, this is the first step in the process of human victory over nature, right?

"If it can be preserved for future generations, maybe it can become a national fourth-A-level scenic spot!"

Walking around the big pit, Chen Xu touched his chin, called the No. 1 ape and the ape man captain, gestured to them, and ordered them to take people to the jungle to find some leaves and branches, which don't need to be too thick, only need to be finger thick, but the leaves must be thick.

When the two apes understood what he meant, and took the other apes in the hunting team to the jungle to collect branches, Chen Xu began to arrange bamboo spears in the pit.

This time, each ape-man brought ten bamboo spears, a total of two hundred and fifty, and these bamboo spears were roasted by a fierce fire, and their toughness was greatly increased, but because the length was too long, it was estimated that they were not very lethal to the beasts that fell into the pit, so he needed to start improving them.

Picked out a hundred relatively hard bamboo spears, put them on the side of the pit, took out the stone axe, and used force in his arm, Chen Xu directly chopped the bamboo spear into a length of about one meter, and put it aside, which was considered completed, and the remaining stalk more than two meters long was left on one side for later use.

With Chen Xu's strength, with the blessing of internal breath, it didn't take much effort to deal with these hundred bamboo spears, and in a short time, these bamboo spears were processed.

Seeing that the ape-man who was collecting branches in the jungle had not yet returned, Chen Xu thought about it and felt that the bamboo spear alone was not very safe, so he wielded a stone axe, went up to the tree and cut some thick branches and sharpened them.

Later, when the ape-men returned, Chen Xu began to perfect the trap, first inserting more than a hundred bamboo spears evenly into the pit, and then spreading the sharp wood he had just cut into between the gaps of the bamboo spears.

After arranging everything inside, Chen Xu began to camouflage the layout outside, which was much simpler, first laying a few branches on top of the trap to form a net-like structure, and then constantly throwing small branches from both ends of the trap to let the leaves completely fill the gaps in it.

After the entire pit was covered by dense foliage, the waist-deep artemisia grass collected by the ape-men was thrown onto the pit, completely covering up the traces of the alteration of the place.

The ape-men obeyed the order, and quickly transported the soil dug up around them into the woods, and cleaned the traces on the left and right, and at this point, a perfect trap was born from Chen Xu's hands!

At this time, it was only three hours since they came to this hunting ground, and at this time, the sunset was slanting, and both carnivores and herbivores had finished their activities, lazily lying in the grass, enjoying the last bit of sunset.

It's just that they don't know that this is the time for the ape-man under Chen Xu's command to act.

The ape-men who followed Chen Xu out this time were all members of the hunting team, counting himself, there were twenty-five in total, and they were all considered to be strong soldiers.

When arranging the trap before, Chen Xu consumed a hundred bamboo spears, and now there are one hundred and fifty bamboo spears left in the hands of everyone, in addition to many stone tools, there is not much loss in weapons, it can be said that the combat effectiveness is maintained at more than eighty percent.

Chen Xu thought about it, divided the twenty-five apes into four waves, one wave hid in the jungle, waiting for the beast group to enter the pit, before appearing, using a bamboo spear to kill the beast that wanted to flee outside, a wave of ambush on the left side, equipped with stone tools, to prevent the beast group from escaping to the side, a wave on the right, the same effect!

The final wave is to join him in driving away the herd from the front, but all they need to do is shout loudly and make the noise as loud as possible.

At this time, the group of zebras that originally fell into Chen Xu's sight was nowhere to be found, but near their original position, a group of horned antelopes appeared, so the role of Chen Xu's trap was not lost.

Seeing that the herd was showing signs of leaving, he decided to take action immediately.

Suddenly, the eight ape-men retreated into the jungle with bamboo spears in their hands, and the seven ape-men followed his instructions and rushed from the jungle to the right side of the grassland, gradually pressing towards the herd of horned antelopes, and similarly, the seven ape-men sneaked in from the left side of the jungle and began to approach the left side of the grassland.

As for the two strongest apes, Ape Man No. 1 and Captain Ape, they followed Chen Xu, the boss, in full armor, and ran into the jungle, making a big circle, and rushing out of the jungle from the other direction, and came directly opposite the horned antelope group in the grassland.

At this time, Chen Xu did not hold any bamboo spear in his hand, but took a stick seven or eight meters long and thigh-thick, but it was specially collected in the jungle.

Everything was ready, Chen Xu took the thick tree trunk and slowly forced towards the horned antelope, as the distance between the two gradually approached, the originally lazy horned antelope all stood up, and beat their hooves a little uneasily.

"Is this up? It seems that the warning range of the horned antelope is ten meters!"

A hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, Chen Xu suddenly shouted, puffed up his arms, and quickly activated his internal qi, and suddenly with a whining sound, the thick wooden stick in his hand was directly picked up by him.

Fueled by his formidable force, the sticks quickly stirred the air like the wings of a helicopter, making a deafening humming sound.

At the same time, he exerted force under his feet, and his body was like electricity, and he quickly rushed in the direction of the horned antelope.
