Chapter 9: The Hunting Beast
"Woo......"
The beast scurried around the jungle in panic.
Around it, the members of the snake tribe gathered together, either holding pointed stones like Xian, or holding a simple stick made of branches, and swooping down on it.
It's just that, looking at the action of rushing forward without knowing their lives, they don't seem to know how to hunt wild beasts.
One by one, they rushed to the beast, learned to be salty, and before being kicked away by the other party, they used the weapons in their hands to wave wildly, leaving scars on the beast's body.
Soon, most of them were kicked to the ground, wailing in pain.
In the end, only three tribesmen remained, and as if they had gradually found experience in the hunt, they did not rush forward like the others, but began to circle around the beast.
Whenever the beast tried to flee in one direction, they raised their weapons and waved them constantly.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and let out a "hahe".
Force the other person back.
"Hiss~hiss~"
While the three men and the beast were in that stalemate, on the other side, in the grass beside where Salty had fallen, they suddenly shook for a moment, and then a cold hissing sound was heard.
Soon, a long, arm-thick cyan snake poked its head out of it.
Its eyes stared straight at its salty, blood-stained chest, and it spat letters.
The smell of blood wafting from Xian's body made its eyes red, and it immediately raised its head and stood up.
But surprisingly, it did not rush in front of the salty body as expected, but turned its head and looked coldly at the beast that was being surrounded and spinning in a restless circle.
"Xiaoqing!"
Seeing this, Xian hurriedly got up from the ground and called at the green snake.
Suddenly got up, and immediately pulled the injury in his chest, and a pain came, which made him grin.
"No!" Salty shook his head at the green snake,
"This is the first time the clansmen have hunted, Daxi said, we have to rely on ourselves!"
The green snake in front of him was the little snake that he had once held around his wrist.
After Fengxi killed the "god" worshiped by the tribe, although he asked them to carry it back, he did not give any orders, as if he had completely forgotten about it.
Although the giant snake has been killed, the fear rooted in the hearts of the people of the snake tribe, even if they know that the other party is dead, they dare not approach at all, and every time they pass by here, they are far away.
And salty, although I want to divide the body of the giant snake, eat its flesh, and eat its blood. But after all, this was killed by Fengxi, and he didn't dare to act rashly without Fengxi's permission.
As time passed, seeing that the stench on the snake's body was getting stronger and stronger, in the end, Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and run over to ask Fengxi.
The reply he got was to let him deal with it himself!
Next, the eyes of all the clansmen widened, what they didn't expect was that perhaps because of his hatred for the giant snake, Xian really did what he wanted.
He forcibly pulled the people who carried the giant snake back together, and when he used the few remaining horns of the tribe to polish out the sharp horns, he worked hard to cut the giant snake into pieces of animal meat.
As he said, eat its flesh and eat its blood, and he wants to use this giant snake that once brought heavy harm to the tribe as food for the tribe!
It's just that the salty though spasms the skin of the giant snake and divides it into pieces of meat.
But when he handed them to his people, none of them really dared to eat them.
Except for the few clansmen who were with him, they were forcibly pulled by Xian to cut the giant snake into pieces of animal meat, but in the process, they gradually broke the fear in their hearts, and together with Xian, they became the first people to eat the giant snake.
The other clansmen who were afraid of the giant snake in their hearts and didn't dare to try it didn't last long, watching Xian and several clansmen eat in large gulps.
Soon, hunger overcame fear and joined in.
As the first to overcome their fears appeared, more and more people joined in, urged by hunger, and finally all of them ate the meat that was handed to them by salt.
In this way, with the support of the flesh and blood of the alien beasts, the tribe has rebuilt the tribe and has supported it until now.
And the reason why the green snake in front of him grew so fast is also related to the giant snake.
When Xian dissected the giant snake, when Xian tried his best to cut the giant snake open, he found that at some point, the green snake he raised actually got into the belly of the giant snake.
When it was spotted by Salty, it was curled up in the belly of the giant snake in pain, soaked in bright red blood, and its body shone with a faint cyan light.
This discovery made Xian worry in his heart, and he didn't care about continuing to dissect the giant snake, so he hurriedly picked it up to find Fengxi, and finally after getting the green snake, nothing happened, but he got a lot of benefits, and he was able to feel at ease.
He put the green snake in the cave, and when it woke up, Xian found that it had grown up.
Since then, it has grown at a rate visible to the naked eye every day, until now, it has the thickness of an arm's arm.
At this time, when the green snake heard this, it reluctantly turned its head, tilting its head to look at Xian, with a pair of eyes full of spirituality with a little puzzle.
It seems to be very puzzled, why didn't Salty let it kill the beast?
"I know, you're different!"
Xian limped forward, he reached out and touched the head of the green snake, and explained softly,
"It's just an ordinary beast, it's easy for you to kill it, but I hope that the people can defeat it and kill it with their own strength!"
"Only by taking this first step can the tribe survive in the future!"
"This is what Daxi wants me to do!"
Xian knew very well in his heart what he and his people lacked after surrendering to the power of the giant snake "god" for a long time.
Although the green snake has grown from the small snake before to a large snake that can easily hunt a wild beast, according to Feng Xi, it is beginning to transform into a foreign beast.
What a strange beast is, Xian actually doesn't know.
But he knew that when Fengxi called the tribe's "god", he was talking about strange beasts.
Then Salty didn't want to use its power to get food for the tribe like this.
If the tribesmen do not experience the baptism of blood and fire, how can they shed the fear in their hearts and let the tribe truly gain a foothold in the jungle!
And this beast in front of you, this hunt, is the first step to change the tribe!
"Whew!"
A terrible wail sounded, and Xian's eyes moved, and he hurriedly looked over.
I saw that a clansman took advantage of the beast's panic, suddenly rushed forward, grabbed its neck, and then quickly turned over and climbed onto its back, raised the sharp stone in his hand, and stabbed it into its stomach.
With a "flutter", bright red blood burst out, and then, the beast, stimulated by the pain, threw out the person lying on his back.
But before it could take advantage of this gap to escape, it saw two other people rushing forward in a desperate manner, leaving two bloody holes in its stomach again.
With the fall of two people, everyone was now on the ground, but they did not fail.
The beast struggled and throbbed a few times, and finally collapsed from excessive blood loss.
"Beast, it's hunted!"
Xian looked at the beast that had fallen to the ground and gradually fell silent, and his tense body slowly lowered, with a happy smile on his face.
