Chapter 58: The Road Meets the Giant Tiger
But even so, the next day, several people's arms were a little swollen, but fortunately, they could still move, which was better than Song Xuan's consequences.
After a few people fully recovered, Song Xuan set off with the hunting team and went straight to the mountains and forests in the north of the tribe.
In order to have a good harvest, the location of this hunt is already ten miles away from Teng Snake 34, and the prey near the tribe has already been almost cleaned up, so if you want to harvest more, you can only run away.
Fortunately, the snake can be hunted all around, and a region takes a turn to come once, and it takes more than half a year, that is, a place, in addition to being particularly rich in products, it is generally only once a year.
And every time it is basically tossed within a radius of four or five miles, it is too big and unnecessary, and the prey in this range is enough for the hunting team to work for several days.
Everyone will not 'clean' it all at once, and generally pick the adults, so that the next time they come, the small ones are also mature, and the concept of sustainable development is still implemented quite well.
More than 30 miles of mountain road, walked for half a day to arrive, and encountered a lot of beasts on the way, but as long as they didn't really bump into a full bosom, everyone generally let them go, if there was that unlucky, everyone would naturally not be polite.
This time, the place chosen by Shi Meng is a flat land in the middle of the mountains, there are not many big trees, and there is also a small lake.
After turning around the lake, Shi Meng determined:
"God makes you see, there are so many footprints here, it must be a drinking point for wild beasts!"
Song Xuan immediately became excited when he heard this, this feeling is good, if he squats here, wouldn't it be easy to harvest a lot of prey.
But what Shi Meng said next extinguished Song Xuan's thoughts:
"But we can't hunt near the water source, so they won't come in the future!"
After listening to Shi Meng's words, Song Xuan suddenly felt a little ashamed, although the weather here does not have an obvious dry season, but when the summer is the hottest, the rain is also quite small, a lake like this must be a place where many wild beasts around come to drink.
The beasts don't kill each other in the water source, but they still have this idea, so many animal worlds are like seeing dogs in their stomachs.
Looking at Song Xuan, who was annoyed for a while, Shi Meng was a little confused for a while, didn't he just say that he couldn't hunt here, and it was necessary for the divine envoy to behave so exaggeratedly?
"Oracle! Oracle? ”
"Huh?"
"Let's just hunt nearby!"
…………
"Brothers, set up traps nearby!"
Song Xuan only felt that his blood was flowing eastward, but it was definitely a little better to be directly near the lake nearby, and everyone knew it, although the traps were all arranged on the routes trampled by the beasts, most of them were more than a mile away from the lake.
The hunting of the Teng Snake Tribe is not completely dependent on people as Song Xuan imagined, traps are also very important, it can be said that nearly half of the harvest is obtained through these large and small traps.
However, traps can only deal with smaller beasts, and larger ones will not work, and larger ones can easily escape.
When arranging the trap, someone encountered a group of wild boars, but unfortunately there were too few people at that time, and they didn't dare to touch hard, if the number of people was about the same, they still had the confidence to catch a few of them in this group of wild boar stone forests, but they didn't dare to provoke easily when there were too many of them.
The wild boar is not a character to be messed with, the character is more ferocious, and it is not necessarily as fast as him when he rushes over, the pig is not a vegetarian, and if he is really anxious, he can still gnaw people clean, and the fangs on his mouth, if he rubs it, it will not end well.
"Roar~"
Just as Song Xuan and Shi Meng were learning how to make a noose, a beast roar suddenly came from not far away, and Shi Meng immediately heard what kind of beast it was, and said to Song Xuan:
"Divine envoy, it's a tiger, let's hurry over, there should only be them in the stone forest!"
A beast like a tiger is not something that three or two people can deal with, and in this forest, if you are not fully prepared, it is really difficult to say who is the prey.
Apparently everyone else around had heard the roar of the tiger and was converging towards them in the stone forest.
However, Song Xuan still admired Shi Meng's ability a little, just let out a low roar, not only judged the location, but also knew who was there, and sure enough, after arriving, the people who came early had already begun to cooperate with Shi Lin to block the other retreats of the giant tiger in front of them.
Usually, if you encounter this kind of beast, everyone tries not to provoke them, but this time it is obvious that they can't avoid it, and it is even possible that this giant tiger will do it first.
The tiger that Shi Lin faced was bigger than all the tigers Song Xuan had ever seen, even if he made a gesture of preparing to pounce forward, the height was almost to a person's ribs, but unlike the tigers of later generations, its tail and hind legs were a little short, and its huge forelimbs showed the horror of its strength.
To say that the most eye-catching is the two fangs at the corners of its mouth, the teeth even extend beyond the jaw, and there is a part below, which also shows that this giant tiger is probably the legendary saber-toothed tiger, if you are bitten by such teeth, I am afraid that no one can save it.
Therefore, in the face of such a giant beast, everyone seemed very cautious, and the few people in the stone forest did not dare to show the slightest fear, and maintained a fighting posture to confront it, in the forest, this distance must not be able to run it, only do not show timidity, stabilize first, and delay time for the other clansmen.
As long as everyone else is in place, not to mention that they will definitely be able to deal with this saber-toothed tiger, at least a few people in Shilin can still have a great confidence that they will retreat, and now the strength of the tribe does not need everyone to work so hard, hunting is the best choice under the condition of ensuring their own safety.
After Shi Meng saw the situation around the saber-toothed tiger, he said to Song Xuan on the side:
"Oracle, be careful, follow me!"
This is naturally not to look down on Song Xuan, although Song Xuan's combat power is definitely a little worse than them, but he can definitely be a hunter with qualified combat ability, and other skills naturally can't be counted, after all, he has just started to learn.
On the contrary, this is precisely because he attaches too much importance to Song Xuan, and Song Xuan also feels that there is no big problem when he comes to hunt Shi Meng, after all, although there is danger, as long as he pays attention, most of the time there is no danger to his life, and this encounter with this giant tiger can be regarded as Song Xuan's luck, but no matter what, if Song Xuan receives any serious injuries here, he will definitely not be able to explain to other people in the tribe.
However, Song Xuan also knew his strength, in this case, he would naturally not rush to the front, if he was too reckless, it would cause inconvenience to others, and it was good to say that the prey ran away, but it would be bad if it caused casualties.
