0012 Dalang
The beast that looked like a triceratops was less than two hundred meters away from Jia Chao and them, and in terms of size, it was smaller than the legendary dinosaur, but much larger than a cow.
Jia Chao grabbed Red Fang's arm and asked him, "You said that grabbing one end of that thing is enough for our tribe to eat for a few days?" ”
Redfang shook his head, "A long time ago, our tribe was still a medium-sized tribe, do you know why there are only so many people left in our tribe?" ”
Jia Chao: "Why? ”
Red Fang: "Just go up with our gang, and we can be wiped out by it!" ”
Jia Chao: "......"
In the end, Jia Chao didn't dare to provoke the triceratops, but followed Red Fang and them cautiously to the Baimu River.
The Baimu River is actually not far away, it feels like it is only five or six kilometers, and the group walked for about an hour to arrive.
Between the river and the grassland, there is a soft beach, and there are occasional wild animal tracks on the riverbank.
When Jia Chao and the others arrived, they happened to see some birds by the river, and Red Fang and another clansman directly waved bamboo shrimp baskets and buckled the two.
"Chief Chao, this thing is so easy to use!" Looking at the prey in his hands, Red Fang was as happy as a child.
Jia Chao looked at him speechlessly, "If we can make a rope and weave a net, you will find that hunting is actually quite easy." ”
After handing over the unexpected prey to the clansmen and tying them up, Jia Chao began to direct the Red Fang to catch the fish.
Perhaps because the fish in the Baime River have not been caught, they are as stupid as the fish in the backwater pool.
It took less than an hour for Red Fang and Bai Yuan to catch enough fish, and that was when Jia Chao picked out many small fish and threw them back into the river.
Seeing the harvest in the fishing basket, the clansmen smiled one by one.
What could be happier than being able to feed your stomach after half a day of fishing?
The journey back was a little longer because of the full load, but everyone still returned to the tribe before the sun set.
Like the troops who came down the mountain, the clansmen led by Xingyue also brought back a lot of fish.
As for the tribesmen of the gathering team, they did not return empty-handed, and some strange plant rhizomes were brought back.
"Ah Chao, can we put back the fish we caught from the back mountain? If you can't finish eating these fish, they'll spoil tomorrow! ”
Looking at such a rich harvest, the stubborn stone actually frowned.
Jia Chao shook his head and said, pointing to the creek on the right side of the camp and said, "It's okay, we can dig a fish pond over there, raise the fish in it, and catch it directly in it when we need it in the future!" ”
Hearing this, the stubborn stone patted his thigh and said:
"Huh! It's a good idea! ”
Jia Chao: "......"
The technology tree is crooked, we can understand that the fantasy technology of the Spirit Whisperer and the power of various elements are there, but this kind of technology related to the national economy and people's livelihood is not developed?
It's just a fish, why don't these people study it?
Their language system is already very perfect, and it stands to reason that this world should have entered the agricultural civilization a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Jia Chao asked the stubborn stone: "Why didn't you think about eating fish and raising fish before?" ”
Stubborn Stone shook his head, "In the past, when your father was here, a few wild beasts on the grassland were enough for everyone to eat, who would have thought of eating fish?" Moreover, the soul power of fish is very weak, and ordinary spirit whisperers will not hunt it. ”
Jia Chao: "......"
At this time, the stubborn stone looked at Xingyue and the others who were handling fish by the stream, and suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Alas! Look at my memory! I forgot again! Ah Chao, you hurry up and tell Xingyue and them that all the prey of the tribe will be killed by you in the future! ”
Jia Chao: "Huh? Why? ”
Stone: "You are now an Beast Whisperer, and you can absorb the soul power of your prey after you kill it!" Although the soul power of fish is weak, it is important to you! ”
Jia Chao: "......"
Speechless again, co-author because his contract beast is a rabbit, so he can only become a man whose heart is as cold as the knife that kills fish?
"Okay!" Jia Chao picked up his woodcutter and walked towards the stream.
and Xingyue told them the reason why they came, and Xingyue and they were also very cooperative and handed over the fish they were going to kill to Jia Chao.
However, because most of the fish have been out of the water for too long, they have long lost their vital signs, and Jia Chao is lonely.
However, Rao was like this, and before he went to bed at night, he still found that the beast spirit mark on his chest had changed somewhat.
"Hey, rabbit, do you know how the Beast Whisperer has become stronger?"
The rabbit who had an exclusive grass nest turned his head to look at Jia Chao and said to him:
"You don't know, how would I know? Hurry up and go to sleep, and hunt tomorrow! ”
Jia Chao: "Hey! You dog-and-bunny! Capitalists are not as black as you! ”
Rabbit: "A rabbit is a rabbit, what is a dog rabbit?" And what is a capitalist? And you should call me by my name more so that our contract can be stronger! ”
Jia Chao: "Then what's your name?" ”
Rabbit: "You gave me the name yourself, and you forgot it so quickly?" ”
Jia Chao: "Huh? Did I name you? ”
Rabbit: "Yes, when the contract is made!" ”
Jia Chao: "......"
No way?
No way!
It won't be "Dalang"!
The joke I said casually at the time actually took effect in the contract!
He asked weakly, "Dalang?" ”
Rabbit: "yes, that's the name!" What's the matter with you? Can it be reliable? Whose beast whisperer chooses such a casual name? Pick a name that even rabbits don't like! ”
Jia Chao: "Uh...... Well...... This one...... Hi! At that time, I just remembered the legend of a hero, just the scene of the contract, it is too similar to the scene in that legend! ”
Rabbit: "Oh? It's true? ”
Looking at the rabbit's expression of complete disbelief, Jia Chao made up a story on the spot.
In the story, there is a man named Da Lang, who goes hunting alone in the mountains in order to treat the woman he loves, and meets a tiger.
Da Lang fought a battle with a tiger with a spear, and although he killed the tiger, he himself was seriously injured.
When Dalang's woman, Jin Lian, finds him, he is already on the verge of death.
So Jin Lian prayed to the god of the heavens, willing to save Dalang with her remaining life.
The affection between the two of them touched the god of heaven, and the god asked Jin Lian to mix the blood of the two of them together for Dalang to drink.
In the end, the two shared the remaining life of Jin Lian and died on the same day.
The rabbit was silent for a long time after listening to this story, and finally said to Jia Chao:
"Although this man is very weak, I admit that he is a hero, and I will be called Da Lang in the future!"
Jia Chao grinned when he heard this, and stopped talking.
What he didn't know was that two meters away from his grass nest, a silly girl was crying in her own grass nest.
Although Xingyue couldn't understand what the rabbit was chirping, she could hear what Jia Chao said clearly.
She believed in the story of Da Lang and Jin Lian, and was willing to let Jia Chao drink her own blood.
For the next ten days, Jia Chao was leading his people to hunt and fish.
He began to teach his people to dig pits and make traps to hunt some powerful animals, and also to harvest some prey.
The fur and tendons of those prey became Jia Chao's private property and were placed in the bamboo courtyard in the back mountain.
The fish pond next to the creek was also completed, and the surplus fish caught every day were also kept in it.
However, after only staying in the cave for two nights, Jia Chao, Xingyue and Dalang moved back to the bamboo courtyard in the back mountain.
For one thing, he was really not used to sleeping in a large stinky cave, where firewood was lit at all times to provide light, and so many people slept together.
Smoke and smell are enough, and when I sleep at night, in addition to the sound of snoring one after another, there are all kinds of sounds of applause for love.
Second, he still owed the old god stick a few clay pots, so he simply returned to the back mountain and fired some pottery, which made the tribesmen look a little more human.
Of course, the most important point is that Jia Chao needs to refine some more iron.
"Ah Chao, what is this?" Xingyue asked curiously with two freshly refined iron tools in her hands.
Jia Chao replied without replying: "Safety hook!" ”
Xingyue: "Is this also an artifact?" ”
Jia Chao thought for half a second and then nodded and said, "Yes, life-saving artifact!" ”
Hearing this, Xingyue gently put down the things in her hand, she couldn't understand how this thing could save her life, but Ah Chao said so, then it must be very important!
"And what are you doing now?"
Jia Chao: "Make clothes!" ”
Xingyue watched Jia Chao wipe some liquid mixed with the brain marrow of the beast on a piece of animal skin, and couldn't understand the word "clothes" he said at all.
But for Jia Chao, this is the best way he can think of, leather can't be used to make clothes without tanning, and he doesn't have any materials to ravage the skin.
Just this "brain ravaging method", I learned it by watching short videos when I was bored in my previous life.
In addition to ravaging the skin, he also dried some tendons. These tendons were used to weave the bowstring, which improved the performance of his new generation of crossbows.
Two days later, Jia Chao left the tribe with Xingyue and the rabbit. According to what Xia Yun said, if you don't go to the Sword Tiger Tribe to try dominoes, the dominoes will be invalid.
Although Jia Chao was a little reluctant, he was still coaxed out of the door by the stubborn stone.
Red Fang originally wanted Bai Yuan to lead a team of clansmen to escort Jia Chao to the Sword and Tiger Tribe, but was stopped by the stubborn stone.
According to the stubborn stone, if a beast whisperer does not even have the ability to survive independently on the Baimu grassland, then it is impossible for him to pass the trial of Sabertooth Peak.
So Jia Chao had to take Xingyue to the Sword Tiger Tribe alone, and for the sake of insurance, he brought all the weapons he could use.
A crossbow with twenty arrows, an iron dagger a foot long, a wild animal skin coat, a pair of animal skin boots, and a spear with an iron spear head.
As for Xingyue, it was the same configuration, except that the crossbow was replaced by a two-foot-long bone chopper.
Jia Chao is sometimes very curious about what Xingyue grew up eating, he can't hold the bone chopping knife, but Xingyue can dance and fly.
"Priest of the Stone, did you say they could go to the Sword Tiger Tribe today?" Red Tooth looked at the backs of Jia Chao and the others from a distance, and asked with a worried expression.
Stubborn Stone said with a relaxed face: "If nothing else, they will be there when the sun is overhead!" ”
