Chapter 6 The Death of the Dry Season
There are more than 20 domestic dogs in the tribe, and it is impossible to take them all with them when hunting, Wang Ning first screened these domestic dogs, took these domestic dogs, and ran around the tribal camp in circles until half of the domestic dogs were too tired to run, and they were directly eliminated.

After following Pendit out to hunt once, Wang Ning finally understood that hunting is a physical job, and a domestic dog with poor endurance must be eliminated of course.
The second step is to train the ability of the domestic dog to obey orders and listen to commands, and during the hunt, when not allowed to bark, it must be shut up.
Wang Ning asked the remaining twelve dogs to line up and give orders to the dogs not to bark, whoever barks first will be punished, and those who insist on not barking for an hour will be given a certain reward.
Gradually, the dogs got used to the order not to bark, and under Wang Ning's order, the dogs could often stay in place honestly and not bark for a day.
After completing this step, Wang Ning took a few black brothers to capture a few warthogs alive, and then lined up the twelve domestic dogs that had undergone preliminary training and ordered the domestic dogs not to bark.
Wang Ning himself led a warthog with a rope and ran around in front of the domestic dogs.
Domestic dogs are naturally hostile to wild animals, even though their ancestors were also wild animals.
And the domestic dog has a strong sense of territory, and when he sees a wild warthog, dangling in front of him, this is what the uncle can't bear, and the aunt can't bear it either.
It's like stabbing a hornet's nest, no domestic dog is willing to stay where it is and not barking, barking wildly and swarming out of the bees, biting wildly, Wang Ning can't stop it, and a few minutes later, the warthog was bitten to death.
Lilina practiced the flying stone magic skill, has made a small achievement, threw out ten pebbles, basically eight or nine can hit the target, seeing Wang Ning training the dog encountered difficulties, so she volunteered and ran to help.
Wang Ning reprimanded the dogs fiercely, and the scolded guys stood in a row with their tails between their legs, and then led a warthog again and walked out.
The dogs were scolded, fully realized their mistakes, and were much more honest, but when they saw the warthogs coming out, they were still excited and couldn't bear it.
The leader of the dogs, the king of dogs, couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a whining sound in his throat, ready to bark and rush out.
Lilina, who was in charge of supervision next to her, flicked her wrist, and a pebble flew out and hit the dog king directly, shouting: "Basda, you dare to tell me to beat you." ā
Basta was still the name that Lilina gave to the Dog King, and after receiving Lilina's stone, Basta whimpered and lay on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.
The house dogs can endure it for a short time, but after a long time, there are still hot-tempered house dogs, and they can't help barking at the warthog, of course, the end is to be hit by Lilina's stone, and then they are directly eliminated, and they rush to the side to watch the excitement.
After repeated training, only six domestic dogs were finally qualified.
The next step is to carry out bite training, which is the most in line with the dogs' minds.
Wang Ning untied the rope that tied the warthog and shouted, "Rush!" The dogs took the lead and pounced on the warthog.
The warthog howled and fled frantically, but was chased and killed by the dogs.
Of course, the bite training is limited to the remaining six qualified domestic dogs, and if the rest of the dogs dare to rush up and participate in the chase of warthogs, Lilina's pebbles will fly over and knock them away.
In the end, two more dogs were eliminated because of their slow running speed and inflexible movements, and in the end, only four dogs were left to become qualified hunting dogs, and Basta was of course in the list, otherwise, I am afraid that its status as the king of dogs would not be guaranteed.
Due to the large harvest of this hunt, the black brothers rested in the tribe station for half a month, and the prey was only enough to eat the women, the elderly, and the children of the tribe for five or six days before they decided to hunt again.
Wang Ning took the trained hunting dogs to the battle, and the effect was surprisingly good, and in two days, the harvest was doubled compared to the last time.
In this area near the Great Rift Valley, there are only two seasons, the dry season and the rainy season, six months of dry season and six months of rainy season.
Not a single drop of rain falls during the dry season, and there are more than two downpours per day during the rainy season, each lasting at least an hour.
As the dry season continues, the weeds wither, and only some shrubs with deep roots can still maintain green leaves, but they are gradually bare under the gnawing of herbivores.
Large social animals such as wildebeest and zebra have migrated to other places, and the wild animals left behind, under the constant predation of lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and other carnivores, have become less and less numerous, and more and more alert, as soon as the wind blows, immediately flee, hunting has become more and more difficult.
Although there is the help of the hunting dogs trained by Wang Ning, the harvest of hunting is less and less every time.
After two months of dry season, the harvest was no longer enough to sustain the tribe.
Pendit gave up hunting and led his black brothers to fish in the river, where the water in the river was getting less and less, and fishing became much easier.
The black brothers' method of fishing is also very primitive, that is, using the javelins in their hands to spear fish in the water.
In the rainy season, when the river is full of water, you can't fork even a single scale with a javelin, but in the dry season, when the river gradually dries up, and the fish struggle in the shallow water, it is easy to fork.
Since then, the food in the tribe has changed from eating meat to eating fish, and it can finally be maintained.
The days of eating fish lasted for three months, and the river dried up completely, and there were no more fish to fork.
Pendit led his black brothers, who went out early and returned late every day, and walked a long way to the distant mountains to pick wild fruits and tender leaves to feed the people of the tribe.
Eating wild fruits and leaves alone makes it difficult to provide the nutrients necessary for human metabolism, and the elderly and children in the tribe begin to be malnourished.
Pendit really had no choice, so he killed a domestic dog to supplement some nutrients for the people in the tribe.
The women of the tribe began to become worried, and once, Lilina secretly told Wang Ning that when the dry season was about to end, people in the tribe would starve to death, especially the frail elderly and children, who often could not survive the dry season.
After listening to Lilina's words, Wang Ning was a little sad and asked Lilina: "Why don't you grow some food, store it, and survive the famine." ā
Lilina shook her head: "I heard the wizard Delikun say that people outside can grow food, and they will not starve in the dry season, but no one in our tribe can grow food, and Derikun has not learned." ā
After this conversation with Lilina, Wang Ning knew that he should do something for the tribe.
He couldn't watch the old and weak women and children in the tribe starve to death before his eyes.
