Heavy snow does cause problems for hunters, but brutes are not immune.

Originally, relying on strong physical fitness and strong instincts, the brutes had the upper hand in the confrontation with the hunters.

In many cases, hunters find it difficult to catch up with them, and they can only watch them escape.

When besieged by them, the hunters are unable to escape quickly, and often get caught in hard battles, and are often injured, and even lose their lives.

This is the main reason why Wu and Storm are so worried about hunters trapped in heavy snow.

As for the general problem of getting lost, they don't really pay much attention to it.

Those hunting grounds, they are not the first time to go, they are more familiar, plus there are grass marks to guide the way, that is, the grass marks that you see when Fengyun is lost, there is no big problem in returning to the tribe smoothly.

What they really fear is another kind of getting lost, being attacked by the brutes and getting lost as they run away.

In this case, most of them will panic and will not be able to identify where they are running, let alone leave a scratch mark.

This kind of lostness, in the vast majority of cases, can evolve into a real lost.

At this time, they are very dangerous.

Not to mention, they may be attacked by brute beasts, hunger is also a big challenge for them, and the deadliest is cold.

According to the law, after a heavy snowfall, the temperature will drop sharply, dripping into ice, and the cold also has a strong penetrating power, drilling straight into the bones and internal organs, and you can't hide if you want to.

After a long time, even totemic warriors will be frozen to death.

Now everything is different because of the advent of skis.

With the help of skis, hunters have largely overcome the negative effects of heavy snow, especially the speed, which is not much worse than before the snow.

With speed, it's the turn of the beasts to be unlucky.

When they are pursued by hunters, they cannot run fast at all in the thick snow.

Even if they do escape, they are generally large and leave a very clear trail in the snow.

Even if the snow does not stop in the sky, they will not be completely covered up for a while, and hunters can easily catch their whereabouts by following them.

But that's not all the biggest benefit skis bring to hunters.

The biggest benefit is that their safety is greatly guaranteed.

Thanks to the help of the skis, they are able to maintain a high level of speed, which is not difficult for the most controllable hunters and allows them to have a high degree of agility once they have mastered the technique.

With both speed and flexibility, they can take more safe and efficient hunting methods when dealing with brute beasts.

First of all, use high speed to approach the target and launch an attack, the distance is close, both the attack accuracy and the damage caused will be greatly improved, and the hunting success rate and efficiency will naturally increase a lot.

If the brutes weren't killed immediately by their attack, they could have chosen to retreat and distance themselves from the dangers of their rage.

The speed and agility of the skis ensure that they can evacuate safely before they are attacked by the brutes, greatly reducing the danger they face.

At the beginning of the winter hunting ceremony, the witch divined a good fortune, and although the hunters were happy, their hearts were not completely relaxed.

Many of them are veterans of hunting, and they are well aware of the dangers of brute beasts, and in the process of hunting, it is too difficult to avoid harm during the hunt.

It wasn't until the advent of skis that they were finally convinced of the witch's divination results.

With the help of skis, it is entirely possible to hunt without death or even injury.

This is also evidenced by the results of the winter hunt.

At the end of the twelve-day winter hunt, none of the hunters died, and as for the wounded, there were only less than ten people, most of whom were injured for other reasons, and only three were actually injured by the brute beasts.

The injuries of these three people are not serious, at least they will not be disabled, and after a period of recuperation, they will be a living man again.

This heavy snowfall, which rarely appeared in previous winter hunts, was also very face-saving, and it rained for three days.

Although the snow became lighter later, it never stopped.

The hunters were very happy.

Of course, they would be happy because of the presence of the skis, otherwise they would have been crying after such a long snowfall.

With God's help, the thick snow on the ground made it impossible for the brutes to escape, and as long as they were targeted by the hunters, almost none of them were spared.

Later, some high-level brute beasts that they didn't dare to provoke easily on weekdays also became their targets, and achieved quite good results.

With the help of the great advantages that skis bring to hunters, in this unequal winter hunt, an unprecedented harvest was obtained.

There are so many beasts that they can't fit in each house's house, so they need to be stacked outside the door.

When there were still three days left before the end of the hunt, Wu had to order to stop hunting the brute beasts, otherwise it would probably affect the reproduction of the brute beasts in the following year.

So the hunters turned to hunting ordinary beasts.

Brute beasts are no match for them, let alone beasts, as long as they are targeted, they are almost certain to die.

The hunters who enjoyed the harvest became very generous.

Except for the common beasts that were hunted, a part was kept by the family and handed over to the witch as the common property of the tribe, and the rest was divided among the orphans or the families of the hunters.

This winter, everyone in the tribe will be able to eat meat, and they will eat it often without being too modest, because the harvest is so abundant.

As the source of all this, Fengyun not only has a very high status in the hearts of hunters, but also regards him as an existence second only to witches in the minds of ordinary people in the tribe.

Although he was attacked by monsters while fishing in the Blue Lagoon and lost a lot of warriors, they were not ungrateful and knew that he could not be blamed.

It was simply impossible for him to know about the existence of the monster in advance.

Besides, he didn't let them go fishing in the Blue Lagoon, they were going to go there themselves, so he couldn't blame him.

Therefore, before that, his status among the ordinary people of the tribe was quite high.

Of course, this rise in status was not only due to the invention of fishing gear, but also to the ondol, cellar and loom.

The kang can prevent them from freezing to death, and the cellar can prevent the food they collect from being frozen, and they can ensure that they have food to eat in winter and will not starve to death.

The loom gave them the ability to support themselves.

As soon as linen appeared, it won the affection of everyone in the tribe, but weaving cloth took time.

Hunters need to go out hunting from time to time, and the time is tight, but they want to get sackcloth, what to do, it can only be exchanged.

The loom does not have any requirements for the operator, ordinary people can use it, and it can be used very well.

The linen cloth they weaved could be exchanged with hunters, not only for fur, but also for fresh meat and even whole beasts, greatly improving their quality of life.

They all know very well who is responsible for all these changes, so they keep the good of the storm in their hearts and want to repay him.

Through this winter hunt, this gratitude reached a critical point, and they asked Wu for his life, making Fengyun the leader of the tribe that had been vacant for fifty years.

The leader is an extremely important presence in every tribe, second only to the witch.

Under normal circumstances, the leader has three main tasks, one is to train warriors, be responsible for guarding the tribe, fight with other tribes, the second is to communicate with other tribes, and the third is to assist the witch in dealing with specific affairs in the tribe.

The Flame Snake tribe originally had a leader, but since the defeat and death of the leader fifty years ago, Wu has not chosen a new leader.

His original intention was to prevent people from being blinded by hatred and to encourage the leaders to lead them to revenge.

Although there were many reasons for their defeat at the beginning, and it was not even because the enemy was stronger than the Flame Snake Tribe, but after all, the tribe had suffered heavy losses, and now to take revenge was completely to kill themselves by hitting the stone with an egg.

Later, because the tribe returned to its ancestral land, there was no need to fight and communicate with other tribes, and the need for a leader was greatly reduced, and a new leader was never elected.

The hunters did not oppose the initiative to make Fengyun the leader, and some even explicitly expressed their support.

However, most of them think that Fengyun's ability is indeed very strong, but after all, he is too young and his mind is not yet mature.

Becoming a leader requires dealing with many things, some of which are even related to the survival of the tribe, which requires careful consideration, which requires a mature mind and rich experience.

Obviously, in their eyes, this is exactly what Fengyun lacks the most.

But the appearance of one person dispelled their doubts.

He is a tyrant, he supports Fengyun, saying that he is indeed a little younger now, but he is not unable to grow up, and he will have a mature mind and rich experience.

What's more, now that the tribe is in the ancestral land, there is no need to fight with other tribes, and there is no need to communicate with them, so there is no need to worry about the wind and clouds bringing the tribe into danger.

The rest of the hunters thought about it and felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so they agreed, and together with the others, they proposed to Wu to make Fengyun the new leader.

To everyone's surprise, Wu readily agreed to their proposal.

They had thought that with Wu's prudence, even if they agreed, they would have asked for a hold of it, and waited until Fengyun was old enough to make him the official leader.

In the end, Fengyun was still unable to become the leader of the Flame Snake Tribe, not because something had happened, but because he resigned.

After becoming the leader, the power is indeed great, but the responsibility that needs to be borne is also great, and even the life and death of the entire tribe is responsible.

It was a very important burden, and once it was saddled, he would have to say goodbye to him for the happy days he longed for.

That wasn't what he wanted to see.
