Chapter 12 Hunting
The tusked mammoths flock to the tidal flats to drink, bathe, play and cool off, perhaps because they have fewer predators in this forest, so the herd is particularly relaxed.
"Whew!"
I saw a flash of cold light, and a six-meter spear made of stainless steel shot out from the leaves of the towering tree, accurately shooting into the left eye of the adult mammoth closest to the tree, and the powerful force made the spearhead shine through the other cheek of the adult mammoth.
"Woooo
"Moo!" the inexplicable attack caused the entire herd to erupt, and the leader, the mammoth, let out a roar of battle.
"Whew!"
Another steel spear shot out of the leaf bushes, aiming directly at the leader mammoth, who seemed to sense the danger of approaching, only to see it deflect its head vigilantly, and the steel spear did not stab its eye, but "poof" through the shoulder blade, and drove it into the leg bone of the elephant's leg.
"Woo!" the leader, the mammoth, cried in pain, but it had already detected the attack coming from the towering tree not far away, where the spitting bones were hiding.
"Moo!" the two adult mammoths received instructions from their leader, the mammoth, and slammed into the towering tree together.
"Whoa, whoa!"
I saw two steel spears shoot out from the leaf bushes again, piercing the heads of the two adult mammoths that crashed into them one after another, but the adult mammoths that did not die immediately still hit the towering tree with the help of huge inertia, and the huge impact force broke the towering tree.
"Poof! Moo——! After breaking the towering tree, the two adult mammoths wailed several times and fell to the ground dead.
"Boom!" the towering tree fell, and in the dust raised, a thin figure with a spear in his hand gradually appeared on the trunk of the tree lying on the ground.
The leader mammoth's red eyes were staring at Tu Bone, and he never expected that the enemy who had killed three of his companions in just a dozen seconds would be such a weak-looking creature.
"Huh!"
He held the spear with both hands, the tip of the spear was raised and pointed at the leader mammoth, and the legs stood in a horse step, which was the move in "Yang's Pear Flower Marksmanship" - horse step piercing the gun, this set of marksmanship moves Tu Gu Hun did not know how many times he had traced it on the paper, and he was already familiar with it, and he could play it from beginning to end in one go.
"Come on!" he shouted at the leader mammoth, his eyes full of murder.
Man and beast, the two strong confronted each other, and no one dared to take the lead in attacking.
"Moo-moo-"
The leader mammoth roared several times at the spitting bones, perhaps in awe of the opponent's undying position, or perhaps because he did not want to let the population suffer more damage, the leader mammoth led the herd to retreat step by step with a mournful look, reluctantly away from the corpse of his companion, and after a few minutes, the elephant herd was annihilated by the dense jungle, and there was a dead silence on the edge of the small stone pool.
"Bang!" Tu Guhun threw the steel spear in his hand and sat on the ground, sweating profusely, panting heavily. In fact, the four flying spears of the spitting bones have consumed ninety percent of his vitality, and at this time, he is already at the end of the crossbow and cannot withstand even one charge of the mammoth, but this is the case in the battle, the loser does not lose the battle, and the elephant herd loses the formation, so he can only retreat in the end.
Half an hour later.
"Alright, you guys come out!" Tuguhun waved his hand into the distance, and beckoned in his mouth.
The heads of more than a dozen clansmen cautiously emerged from behind a large stone in the distance, and each one with a gun in his hand was ready to shoot at any time.
"Xiao Hun, are you okay?"
"Brother Hun, are you alright?"
"It was so thrilling just now! Xiao Hun is okay, right?"
The clansmen asked with concern, and some Xiong He stepped forward to help Tu Gu Hun up.
"I'm fine," Tuguhun sat on the ground and waved his hand to thank Xiong He for his kindness, "I'm really fine, I'm just a little tired, just let me rest." You'd better get rid of those mammoths, it's getting dark early in the forest, and you'll have to hurry when you're done. ”
"Okay, divide the elephant!" everyone immediately moved happily, and the spit bones lay on their backs easily.
The people of the bear clan spent 100,000 gold coins to buy Dashishan as a place for the people of the bear clan to settle down is just the beginning, but with the homestead and the house, the house has to be equipped with furniture, and the furniture has to be arranged for life, there are all kinds of people, more than 300 people in the village, 63 households, a total of more than 30,000 gold coins have been spent to barely settle down, and the 150,000 gold coins carried by the team when they fled have been exhausted.
It is not easy to make a living, the clansmen racked their brains to find a way to live, at this time some people thought that there is a primeval forest called Banna Rainforest fifty miles away from Dashishan, there are many rare birds and beasts in the forest, and hunting, Grazing has always been the traditional industry of the bear clan, so the bear clan began to organize hunting teams to carry out hunting activities, first, hunting is the most important way to obtain meat, second, animal fur can be taken to the fur shop in Lengshui Town or Jiangxia County to exchange money to subsidize the family, and third, if you are lucky, you can hunt the scourge animals offered by the official bounty, you can exchange it for reward, why not?
At the beginning, the hunting team was not as good as it is now, because the hunters were only equipped with gunpowder, and the firepower was below 0.01, hunting some smaller prey, such as roe deer, musk deer, etc., it was okay to meet larger grizzly bears and tigers, and it was only possible to escape when encountering larger hippos and rhinoceros, so at the beginning, this work was dangerous, and it was not enough to earn a few dollars.
It wasn't until Tuguhun joined in, relying on his unusually accurate and lethal flying spear, that the number and color of the animals hunted by the hunting party every day began to increase exponentially, not only to meet the village's demand for meat, but also to make a net profit of 70,000 gold coins from the sale of furs and game in just two months. Of course, Tuguhun also has his own selfishness in joining the hunting team, which is to test the results of his practice of ancient martial arts for most of the past half a year through actual combat such as hunting, which has also been supported by Master Hongyi.
The harvest of this hunt can roughly get a bounty of 30,000 gold coins, plus 70,000 gold coins accumulated in the previous two months, for a total of 100,000 gold coins. With this money, the people of the Xiong clan can apply to the Jiangxia County Civil Affairs Department to buy 200 acres of cultivated land next to the Qingshui River ten miles away from Dashishan, although the cultivated land is relatively poor, but it can still be cultivated immediately after the fertilizer is stored, if it can be stored and ploughed before the end of July, it should be harvested once before the end of the year, so that the village can store food for the winter, and no longer worry about starvation in winter.
