When Mao was hunting, he saw creatures with four fangs and thought they were like ferocious boars.
He saw a few wild boars with four fangs. When he finally caught a cub and brought it back, he was told that it wasn't a wild boar, but another kind of wild beast that looked like a wild boar. They had two pairs of four fangs, and they didn't have thick fur on their bodies. They looked a little fierce.
He thought it was a cub of a ferocious beast, but it turned out to be just a wild beast.
Mao was very disappointed after he knew it, but he did not kill the cub and eat it. Instead, he raised it and went down the mountain to ask Shao Xuan about how to raise it.
Many people laughed at Mao secretly. As the eldest grandson of the chief and the son of the team leader, he had to raise such a creature. Compared with other people who raised wolves, tigers, leopards and so on, Mao raised this one as a food preparation.
Mao named the creature that looked like a deer dolphin "Si Ya", which was probably Mao's obsession. Fortunately, the cub he caught was a male, and he did not find any ferocious beast with four pairs of fangs. This kind of creature would have four fangs when it grew up, so Mao decided to keep it for now.
At first, there were many people who came to see Shao Xuan, but gradually, the number of people decreased. After several hunts, less than one-tenth of the people came to see Shao Xuan to discuss the experience of raising a cub. The rest of the people ate the cub as they raised it.
However, people in the tribe were new to raising animals, and there were many mistakes. Sometimes they could not control their strength, sometimes they were impatient, or their methods were wrong.
Of course, not all cubs were suitable to become "hound" beasts. Even if their species were generally fierce, some individuals might have physical defects, or they might be more timid than others of their species, or even have other quirks. Even if they were trained, they might not be qualified.
Although it was very difficult, and fewer people wanted to keep raising cubs, some people in the tribe still insisted.
One day, after the Shaman walked around the tribe, he called Shao Xuan for a talk.
The Shaman could not stand it anymore. It was a mess, and there were too many hidden dangers. He hoped to get a hunting beast that had both strength and loyalty, not a traitor who only had strength and ferocity but would bite the tribesmen when they grew up.
The quality of the trained beast would be determined by the quality of the trained beast.
After that, Shao Xuan found a suitable open space at the foot of the mountain and placed a large stone slab there as a drawing board. As long as he didn't go hunting, he would sit there every few days to explain. During the two days when the two hunting teams were alternating, he would also take some time to talk to the other hunting team. After all, once the hunt started, he would not be able to explain to the other hunting team.
"If you want them to learn what you're teaching, you have to give them commands and hand signals before pulling the straw rope during training. This way, they'll remember the commands and hand signals you give them. If you pulled the rope around their neck before you shouted out the command or made a gesture, their memory of the rope would be deeper than your command. Come on, Caesar, come and demonstrate … Here, just like this … "
Shao Xuan had seen more than once people in the tribe pull the cubs they brought back while shouting commands. Unfortunately, the training had little effect.
"I'll tell you a few methods. First, mechanical stimulation. To put it bluntly, you have to use certain methods to force them to do what you want them to do. For example, you want them to lie down in the grass. In order to prevent them from getting up and walking around, you can press them down with your hands. Through this method, you can make them lie down in the grass. After repeated training like this, they will form the correct action consciousness when they hear the command … "
As Shao Xuan was talking, a young warrior about his age held the cub he caught with one hand and said, "Just like this?"
"… You're not pressing them down, you're strangling them."
Shao Xuan told them all the details of his plan.
In addition, Shao Xuan also told them how to stimulate them with food, and how to combine mechanical and reward training.
For many people in the tribe, the food reward method was the most unacceptable. In their eyes, food was so precious that they couldn't even bear to part with it. In the past, when they caught these cubs, they would eat them directly. Now, they even had to share food with them? It was unacceptable!
However, there were still some people who were willing to give up food, and most of them were young warriors. For example, Mo Er and Mao were very willing to give up food.
Mo Er's current situation was similar to Shao Xuan's in the beginning. He moved out to live alone, and the family was not hungry. As for Mao, there were too many warriors in the family, and they never lacked food. It was not a problem for him to get some food to feed the cubs.
Sometimes, when Shao Xuan was talking about imitation training, he would call Caesar over to demonstrate, so that the cubs could get along with Caesar more.
Some of the cubs would do the same thing with Caesar. However, it was more difficult for Mo Er's cave lion and Mao's Si Ya. The former was unruly, while the latter was simply a glutton and a lazy worm.
Mo Er's cave lion was named Mao, which was quite different from the lions Shao Xuan had seen in his last life.
Most of the cave lions lived independently, in caves on the mountain, and did not hunt in groups. Because they often faced fierce big beasts such as cave bears, they were not weak, but difficult to tame.
Both Mo Er and Mao had to spend more effort than others, and it depended on whether they had the patience.
Days went by. In the tribe, fewer and fewer cubs were brought back, but the ones left grew up day by day.
After Shao Xuan's explanation and demonstration, the young warriors gradually changed their training methods. Now, when walking in the tribe, it was common to see some young warriors with cubs. When they gathered together to chat, they would also bring their cubs with them.
At first, they were all tied with straw ropes, but gradually, the ropes on some cubs' necks were removed. They did not run around, but followed the young warriors closely every time they went out. The reliance training was not for nothing.
Sometimes, the young warriors from two hunting groups would compare themselves with each other to see who was more successful in raising their cubs.
Some of the old warriors in the tribe, who had not hunted for many years, still had a worried mentality. They worried that the beasts in the tribe would come out to bite them when they slept at night. They were not optimistic about this method, and did not want their descendants to try it.
Among them, some of the injuries on their bodies were caused by the ferocious beasts in the forest. Even if the beasts in the tribe were not very threatening, they were still very vigilant. When they got together with their old comrades, these old warriors would discuss to report to the team leaders or the chief, and see if they could persuade the young warriors in the tribe not to raise those beasts.
However, the two team leaders had their own children, and the chief's grandson even raised a bald pig! It was said that the bald pig had eaten a lot of the herbs hidden by Ta. Look at Ta's face every day. It was as if he had been smeared with ash, but he still did not kill the bald pig.
A group of old warriors was so anxious that their beards were almost falling off. They still could not think of a reasonable reason to kill those cubs, but the young warriors in the tribe were still actively raising them every day.
When those old warriors were discussing in private, on the mountain, Ta was holding his stone knife tightly. He was so angry that blue veins stood out on his forehead. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
In front of him, his son's bald pig had eaten a bag of medicinal herbs that he had placed under the stone bench. That bag of medicinal herbs was actually insect-repellent. If it was smoked, it could kill a large number of insects. However, the bald pig in front of him was not affected at all after eating it. It was still running and jumping around.
How many times had it done this? This pig had been looking for food everywhere after it woke up. Its nose was also sensitive, and it could not hide things well. If it found something, it could not get it back. Maybe because it had eaten too much, Si Ya was now much stronger than other cubs in the tribe.
It was not that Ta did not want to kill Si Ya, but he did not want to lose face. If he killed Si Ya, people on Guigou's side would definitely laugh at them for not being able to raise a pig well. So he had been holding back, and almost got internal injuries.
"If you eat again, I will kill you!" Ta said.
Si Ya, who was chewing the herbs, looked up at Ta, and shouted, "Hmm!"
Ta felt that this bald pig was really asking for a beating. How could Mao bring such a thing back?!
Thinking about how obedient Caesar was raised by Shao Xuan, he felt that this bald pig in front of him was a loser.
Mao, who had just come back from the training ground, saw that his father was angry again, so he quickly carried Si Ya out.
"Tie it up for me! Use a thicker straw rope to tie it up, and don't let it out! Or I will beat you to death! "Ta shouted at Mao's back.
Mao, who was running out quickly with Si Ya in his arms, thought, "It caused trouble, why should I be beaten?!"
Somewhere on the mountainside.
With a cold face, Mo Er looked at the tattered animal skin on the bed, and then turned his head to look under the table against the wall.
"Come out!"
The ball hiding under the table shrunk inwards again.
Mo Er held the knife handle, and thought, "Should I just kill it?"
In the tribe, many people brought trouble because of raising cubs, but Shao Xuan did not have time to care about it now.
While studying the ancient scroll of engraved secret skills, Shao Xuan found one thing. It was not the totem that played a leading role in his improvement, but another kind of power in his body.
The egg-shaped thing that encircled the totem, or rather, the strange stone that brought him to this world, what exactly was it?
Warriors said that the totem dominated the power in everyone's body, but Shao Xuan faintly felt that the totem in his mind could not go beyond that "egg". No matter how active it was, when the flame on its horns was at its strongest, it could not go beyond that "egg" at all.
The energy absorbed by the Fire Crystal was more like an auxiliary function. It could speed up the recovery, but could not improve, because the totem could not play the role of dominator.
Putting down the animal skin scroll, Shao Xuan rubbed his eyebrows, "What on earth is that stone for?"
At this time, Caesar came over with a wooden box in his mouth. The wooden box was tied with a straw rope, and Caesar bit the straw rope directly.
In the wooden box, there were stone tools made by Old Ke recently. Shao Xuan spent too much time studying the ancient scroll, so Old Ke made some stone tools and asked Caesar to bring them over.
Taking the wooden box, Shao Xuan patted Caesar's head, "We are going to set off again, are you coming?"
Caesar immediately took a step forward. "Yes!"
Shao Xuan rolled up the animal skin scroll and put it away.
If there was no accompanying hunting dog, then he would get a accompanying hunting wolf.
