Chapter 352: Unexpected Gains
"His Majesty the Witch King, what should I do tomorrow?"
Although he won a big victory today, Lei was still a little worried, or he was not worried about fighting against the Tsarca tribe, but wanted to learn more of this elusive fighter trick.
The trap mechanism is some simple hunting skills that Xu Chen taught them on the way here.
But unexpectedly, Xu Chen could also achieve miraculous effects when using it in war.
While this surprised and delighted, he also admired Xu Chen's repeated elusive creativity.
As long as he is with Xu Chen, he feels that he will never learn enough knowledge.
Compared with his strong body and rich combat and hunting experience, although Xu Chen's combat skills do not seem brave enough, they are more magical and effective.
If this is a head-on battle, even if you are equipped with excellent equipment and strict discipline, it is impossible to be unscathed.
He has always been the leader of a hunter and has seen many accidental casualties of his companions during hunting.
Therefore, it is very sensitive to death and injury.
As the leader of the hunter team, although the ultimate goal is the ultimate goal, the cost of casualties is the criterion for checking whether a leader is qualified.
The less casualties the team is, the greater the hunting, the higher the prestige will naturally be. The greater the reputation in the tribe, and the more hunters are willing to follow. The victory called by a large number of casualties is an absolute shame for the powerful hunter leader.
Every time he hunts, he will lead by example, using his strong body to resist the most ferocious beasts, rush to the most dangerous position, and create the safest hunting opportunity for his companions.
The leader of every tribe hunter team is gained by his own experience and ability.
In order to surpass him, the dragon chose to hunt the dragon beast that had been entrenched in the swamp forest outside the river valley in a hunting competition two years ago. In that competition, the dragon almost attracted and withstand the dragon beast's attack with one person, and finally won the opportunity to severely damage the dragon beast for his companions. Although he won the tragic victory, no one died, which also won him a great reputation.
Therefore, an excellent hunter leader not only needs to be brave, but also needs to take care of all his companions, because every adult hunter is a tribe guardian, and even a huge tribe like the Wu tribe cannot afford to lose.
And all hunters are willing to follow the bravest and wisest leader.
Lei is an old warrior and hunter leader of the Wu tribe. He has always thought he was a qualified leader, but until after meeting Xu Chen, he felt that he was becoming increasingly humble.
Compared with Xu Chen's leadership ability and endless creativity and strategy, he felt like a teenager who had just started learning to hunt, ignorant and ignorant.
"This time I came out for a long time. Our equipment was too great to continue traveling far. The Tsubasa tribe was unwilling to communicate. This time, a little lesson was enough for them to reflect. Stay there for another day tomorrow to see the situation. If the other party's great witch still doesn't want to come forward, let's go home!"
Xu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he won today, the Tsuki Clan was still powerful and did not come out in full. There were still six or seven tribes who did not participate. If their great witch was angry and mobilized the hunters of all tribes to encircle and suppress them, there would inevitably be major casualties on their side.
Therefore, leaving is the best choice.
In fact, his gains were already great enough for this trip, and it would not make much sense to continue to entangle with the Thorn Clan.
In addition, the entire team is also very tired and is not suitable to continue traveling far.
Because the more southeast the environment is, the more unfamiliar and complex the environment is, the more difficult it is for language communication and the greater the danger.
After dark, the hunters of the Tsar Clan, who had suffered heavy casualties, also supported their wailing companions and returned to the Ming Clan in a depressed mood.
Stealing chickens will not lose the rice. Faced with a strategist with high IQ like Xu Chen, a group of savages from the Thicha tribe did not take any advantage at all. Although they picked up a small amount of vine basket pottery and animal skins discarded by Xu Chen and others, they also paid an unbearable huge price.
More than 30 casualties hit the two tribes in an instant.
This is a tragic casualty that has not been seen in decades.
Almost all the most brave and energetic hunters of the two tribes, so it’s fine if the injured are severely disabled, and they will completely lose their hunting ability and become a burden to the tribe.
Especially in this cold winter with little food and clothing, it will make the two tribes even worse.
Faced with the hunters of the two tribes who were happily returning, the entire Ming tribe was in chaos.
The ending of more than 30 casualties scared the clan leader and a group of leaders of the Ming clan to panic and completely lost their sense of responsibility.
After a fierce discussion and quarrel, they decided to notify the Great Witch overnight again and let her decide whether to continue the battle.
The tribe attracted by the Five Ghosts tribe is too powerful. The elusive attack method is unpredictable. Even the ambitious hunter leader of the Thorn Clan who began to be ambitiously afraid and humiliated.
Although he was unwilling to accept this failure.
But he realized that he could not lead the team to victory.
Such huge casualties have put his leadership skills in strong doubts.
He was not sure about continuing to attack because the opponent's attack method was completely beyond his understanding.
The bow and arrow were weapons he had never seen before. He was almost completely unprepared for silent long-range attacks in the woods. He had seen several other mechanism traps, and he felt terrified and afraid of the other party's wisdom.
The enemy is fighting in a way that is far beyond their imagination.
In addition, the other party also has a weapon that can make terrifying sounds. According to several prisoners released by Xu Chen, it was a magical golden item called a horn. It can make a roar that is even more terrifying than a tiger and bear when blown with your mouth. They saw each other blow by themselves, and the sound could shake his ears.
Faced with such a mysterious and powerful enemy, all the hunters involved in this war are almost scared.
Of course, the other party has few people and dare not compete with them head-on. If they can drive these people to the lake and swamp at the foot of the mountain, they can still kill them all, but the other party does not look stupid and will not submit easily.
Even if it is to succeed, at least twice the manpower is needed. More tribe hunters need to be mobilized, the hill they are hiding is completely surrounded, and the attack and drive away will be continuously attacked and driven away.
But according to the opponent's elusive combat method, the Tsarca Clan will definitely pay a greater price. Even if they win, it will eventually be a tragic victory.
Therefore, the hunter leader of the Thorn Clan was not allowed to suppress his anger and helplessness in his heart and clean up the mess, waiting for the new instructions from the Great Witch.
A night passed by suddenly.
Wake up and it was another cold morning.
Xu Chen still arranged some hunters to go to the lake beach at the foot of the mountain to explore the movements of the Tsai Cha tribe and the Ming tribe, while others stepped up time to pack up their belongings and repair them to prepare weapons and food.
I have eaten up all the dry food I have brought, and now I rely on hunting to make a living every day.
Fortunately, the most powerful hunter teams of various tribes were accompanied by, plus the blessing of bows and arrows, and the trap mechanisms set up with leftover meat bones and some flesh and blood skins as bait last night. When Xu Chen came out of the simple animal skin tent, Lei had already brought back five or six wild beasts of all sizes with a group of hunters. He broke his stomach and chopped them into meat paste with a stone axe and started cooking.
There is no need to think about wheat, beans, grain porridge, now you can only make a living by eating meat every day.
If the broth that used to be a bland meat soup with various fishy smells from wild animals, Xu Chen would vomit every day. Fortunately, after salt and pepper, it would taste quite delicious when boiled randomly.
After a simple breakfast of 10,000 hot meat soup, the team extinguished the bonfire and destroyed the camp and left the valley, and advanced southwest along the woods on the edge of the lake beach at the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, two teams were left to investigate and alert, and left enough marks and traces.
And this transition gave him an unexpected surprise and gain.
A large bamboo forest was found under the hillside.
Moreover, these bamboos grow very big, one by one, as thick as a thigh, densely packed with the entire hillside. Looking south along this bamboo forest, it seems lush and lush all over the bamboo forest.
Good thing!
Xu Chen's saliva flowed down instantly.
After traveling through time, he searched for bamboo for a long time, but he didn't see it near the Ba people or the Gun Basin. According to the climate, bamboo is still suitable for survival near the Ba people, but the local rock geology does not seem to be suitable for bamboo growth. However, the low hillsides and deep soil here have formed a unique living environment for bamboo.
Especially around this lake, there is abundant water source and a milder climate, which is very suitable for bamboo growth.
The fact that such a large-scale bamboo forest can be found here means that there will be more to the south.
The function of bamboo is much more useful than messy wood vines.
Building a house and making bow and arrow weapons is no problem, and it is even better to make bamboo rafts than wood.
Because the hollow bamboo joints can generate greater buoyancy, those with high skills and courage can only need a big bamboo to come and go freely on the surface of rivers and lakes.
He is currently troubled by how to go back.
If you return the same way, you must cross the vast sumac forest again, and you will inevitably suffer again. Even if you think about it, your scalp will be numb.
Of course, be careful not to touch or contaminate the sumac trees, and there may not be too much problem. But who can guarantee that the area that can be passed through three days will not touch it? Those large ancient sumac trees are dripping juice down all the time, and the toxins emitted are like poisonous fog, which is completely unprepared for defense.
The five ghost tribes did not even live in the range of Sulu, but they were still allergic to Sulu, which means that the surrounding air and water source soil had been contaminated by Sulu, which contained an allergic toxin.
With such a large bamboo, if you make up a few bamboo rafts, you can follow the lake to the southeast to find the estuary.
According to the characteristics of the nearby terrain, this big lake is very likely to belong to the category of lagoons, and it should not be far from the Wulong River. Maybe it can directly connect to the Wulong River from here. As long as you enter the river, you can go upstream along the river bank and reach the Jiazu area. Although the river will be slow in retrograde, you can just check the situation on both sides of the Wulong River these hundreds of miles, and at the same time find out some waterways to prepare for further exploration and long-distance voyage in the future.
