961. Hunting tribe (5/5)
The lion hunter is confident that he dares to provoke African buffaloes. He is obese and doesn't run fast, but he understands the habits of African buffaloes.
The cow did not chase them for revenge. After running a few steps, it stopped and returned to the herd of cattle dejectedly.
This is the habit of African buffaloes. They are unwilling to be too far away from the group. They are animals that pay great attention to ethnic groups and lack a sense of security in the external environment.
Therefore, African buffaloes have become the largest and largest large wildlife on the African continent. As long as they live in groups of buffaloes, even if they are as ferocious as lions, they will not dare to provoke them easily.
Once African buffalo lives alone, they will be far from death. Hyenas, lions, leopards, crocodiles, and all carnivorous animals will give priority to them.
In addition, outliers African buffaloes are very irritable. In the lack of security, they are aggressive and will attack any creatures that are close to them and even appear in their field of vision.
This is also the reason, which makes them prone to enemies of all creatures, accelerating their death rate.
Leaving the buffalo herd, Li Du couldn't help but complain: "Man, aren't you looking for trouble? Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise it would be too dangerous to be caught up by buffalo."
They did not take Sophie with him during this trip. Sophie was not interested in hunting and was too lazy to suffer with them, so they stayed in the camp.
If Sophie was with her, she would probably be caught up by the female buffalo.
The lion hunter laughed and said, "I'm not asking for trouble. Li, wait and see. I'll take you to hunt lions tonight, of course, maybe leopards. In short, we will have a big harvest tonight."
Li Du reacted quickly and immediately understood what he meant, saying, "You used the corpse of that little buffalo to attract beasts?"
The lion hunter winked at him and said, "You guessed it."
The puddles provide water for surrounding animals, and there are many wild animals here.
Under Abodu, they entered a small hill where dozens of small mounds appeared before them, with weeds, shrubs and small trees growing on them, and some wild birds chirping.
Abodu waved his hand and pointed to a mound in front of him and said something vaguely.
He said it in Zulu, and Li Du couldn't understand it, so he looked at the lion hunter.
The lion hunter was excited and said, "Cape Town Porcupine!"
Cape Town Porcupine, also known as South African Porcupine, is the largest rodent in South Africa and the largest porcupine in the world.
Li Du was also excited. He had never seen a porcupine, but had only heard of their reputation. This thing was covered with long spikes and looked very strange.
Following Abodu's instructions, Li Du looked carefully but saw nothing.
The lion hunter laughed and said, "I didn't find it, right? Haha, only our excellent Zulu hunters can discover prey."
Li Du was dissatisfied and released the small flying insects. Then he soon found the porcupine in the middle of the hill.
It’s not his bad eyesight. The porcupine has a strong disguise. It lies in a pile of tall weeds, pressing a potato-like thing with its front paws, and is gnawing with its energy.
They encountered a large porcupine, which was seventy or eighty centimeters long. The front half of its body was dark brown and turned black backwards. There were thick and straight long thorns on the back, buttocks and tail. These long thorns were colored between black and white, and were similar to weeds when standing up. It was difficult to find them from a distance.
Porcupine, also known as the arrow pig, is a pig full of needles, as its name suggests. But Li Du looked carefully and found that it did not look like a pig at all.
Not to mention that it is covered with thorns that pigs don’t have from their back to their tails, like arrows. Let’s talk about its appearance. Porcupines have a fat body, sharp teeth, and a face that looks more like mice. When they chew on things, they use their front teeth, just like mice eating.
After seeing the porcupine, Li Du was about to take back the small flying insect, but the small flying insect flew to the flank of the hill. He found two people lying in the weeds!
The two men were covered with weeds, dark skin, and thin. One was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, while the other was holding a javelin and staring at the porcupine.
Obviously, they are native hunters on the African grasslands and their target is this porcupine.
Seeing this, Li Du smiled slightly and said to the lion hunter: "The excellent hunters of the Zulu tribe are amazing, but my vision is also good. I saw the porcupine, and I also saw two hunters."
His words stunned the lion hunter and said, "Two hunters?"
Li Du deliberately showed a surprised expression and asked, "Didn't you notice?"
He pointed to the place where the two were hiding: "Look carefully, it's there, they are staring at this porcupine."
The lion hunter suspiciously said, "Really? Man, aren't you kidding?"
Abodu said: "Hazai."
Li Du asked, "Hazai? What does it mean?"
The lion hunter said, "He confirmed your words, there is indeed someone there, the hunter of the Hazai tribe."
Li Du suddenly realized that he had been learning about South Africa before and had seen some information about the Hazai tribe.
This tribe is a purely primitive hunting tribe, without farming or doing business, hunting on the grassland for generations.
They are gypsy in Africa, but their migration route follows animals. The Hazai tribe originally belonged to Tanzania and Mozambique, but because Mozambique and South Africa border, some will also come to South Africa.
Like other migratory nations in the world, the Hazai were low-key and tolerant, so although they were invaders, the South Africans did not expel them.
However, they are outsiders after all, and most South Africans still don’t like them because they come here, which is equivalent to competing with locals for resources.
When he learned that Hazai was preparing to ambush the porcupine, the lion hunter snorted coldly, raised his gun and pulled the trigger in the sky: "Bang!"
The loud gunshots scared the wild birds to fly and the porcupine.
The porcupine threw away the fruit pressed under its claws and hurried into the depths of the weeds.
As soon as the gunshots sounded, Hazai hunters knew that they could not ambush the porcupine and quickly launched an attack.
A javelin shot out and was inserted into the porcupine's escape route.
In this way, the porcupine was frightened and subconsciously stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away.
Just as it was stunned, another hunter opened his bow and shot an arrow, and the sharp arrow hit the porcupine's back.
This is a joint attack. The purpose of the javelin is not to hunt porcupines, but to scare it and buy time for the archers.
However, the bows and arrows used by Hazai hunters were made of homemade and their lethality was very average. The porcupine did not fall to the ground and died after being shot, but dragged the arrow and continued to escape.
The hill was steep, and the porcupine rolled down in panic. Its body was plump and could roll along the hillside.
After it rolled down, it was not dead yet. It subconsciously got up and ran away, just in time toward Li Du and others.
