The beast was knocked out and it looked like it would be out for a long time. Even if it woke up soon, there was no need to worry. Shao Xuan would hit it again when he sensed something was wrong. Besides, other than Shao Xuan, Tao Zheng and the others were watching too.
Tao Zheng and the others walked over shakily. After making sure that the beast was really unconscious, they got bolder and tied it up with vines. They specifically used vines that were thick and tough to break, trapping the beast like a cocoon. Its bulging mouth was also tied up. Other than breathing, the bone beast could not move freely. The most it could do was move its hooves.
Shao Xuan watched as Tao Zheng and the others touched the beast here and there after tying it up. Some of the bolder ones even lifted the beast's mouth to look at its teeth. The unconscious beast's head muscles were relaxed. Other than the armor-like shell covering most of its body, parts like its mouth and nostrils were still soft. The weaknesses that had been sealed during battle were now exposed.
After touching it, the group worked together to drag the unconscious beast to a resting place. Although the hunting teams had split up to hunt, the resting place was still the same. They had to carry such a huge beast to a resting place before hunting other prey.
The beast was huge but the Yanjiao people were strong too. If one person could not carry it, they would pull it together. If they could not carry it, they would carry it together.
"Shao Xuan, is everyone in your tribe as strong as you? Are there a lot of advanced totemic warriors our age? "Tao Zheng asked after a while.
The others with Tao Zheng also looked at Shao Xuan.
Most of them lived near the top of the mountain, so they knew more than the others. Some of the information came from their own inquiries, while some came from their elders. For example, they learned about Shao Xuan's true origins from their elders.
It was no wonder Tao Zheng asked that. If they knew that the other Yanjiao tribe was as strong as Shao Xuan, they would be under a lot of pressure! They used to think that they were strong in their own tribe, but Shao Xuan's appearance was a huge shock.
Shao Xuan smiled and shook his head when he heard Tao Zheng's question. "No, there aren't many young advanced totemic warriors. However, there are still many powerful people. "
Tao Zheng and the others relaxed when they heard Shao Xuan say that there were not many advanced totemic warriors. As expected, there were not many people like Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan was an elder after all. He was the only elder in all the Yanjiao tribes combined.
Along the way, if they found other prey that they were satisfied with, they would put the bone beast down and go hunting. After all, they could carry more prey with them!
Shao Xuan gave the others the chance to hunt while he watched over the beast in case it woke up and caused trouble. While Tao Zheng and the rest were hunting, Shao Xuan noticed the bone beast was waking up. He found a large rock nearby and hit it hard to make it faint again.
Resting place. After a day of hunting, many hunting groups would go there to take a rest. Some of them who had gone further away might spend the night outside, but most of them would still go to the resting place, so that they could sleep peacefully.
The tribe's resting place in this forest was on a mountain. The trees on the mountain were not too dense. There were caves, both natural and man-made. They could store some smaller prey and were enough for everyone in the hunting team to take a rest.
The easier prey would be slaughtered in other places and then moved into the cave. The more troublesome prey, such as the dinohead from last time, would be tied up and brought back. Then, everyone would discuss how to divide it.
A few tribesmen stood outside the rested area, keeping an eye on the forest in case other beasts attacked.
The people standing on higher ground saw movement in the forest and whistled to the people below, signaling them to pay attention.
Soon, they realized that it wasn't a Ferocious Beast that had attacked. Instead, it was their own people who had brought their prey over, and it was a big guy. When the tribesmen got closer, they realised it was Tao Zheng's group.
Everyone in the tribe knew how strong Tao Zheng and the others were. Every time they went hunting, Tao Zheng's team would always catch a lot of good prey. There was no point in being envious. After all, their strength was there. Tao Zheng, Zhui, and Wu Zhan, these three outstanding young warriors, were famous even in other tribes.
"Tao Zheng, what did you hunt this time …" The guard outside was about to ask Tao Zheng, who was walking at the front, but when he saw the prey they brought out, he was so shocked that he stopped talking.
"Bone beast?!" The two guards shouted in shock.
"What? Bone beast?! "The others heard and ran over to take a look.
It wasn't that no one had ever caught a bone beast before. It was just that compared to other prey, it was too rare. Most of the time, they spent a lot of time and effort only to end up with nothing. If they weren't careful, they would pay a heavy price. To their surprise, Tao Zheng's team managed to hunt a bone beast this time. They counted the number of people in the team. None of them were missing. Not even the slightest bit of injury.
Under everyone's gazes, Tao Zheng and the others couldn't help blushing. They hadn't hunted the bone beast, and they hadn't even had a chance to attack it. As for the small injuries on their bodies, they were from hunting other prey. They had nothing to do with the bone beast.
"Elder Shao Xuan caught it," said Tao Zheng.
The others didn't believe him. To them, how could Shao Xuan hunt this beast alone? This wasn't a baby bone beast!
But with Tao Zheng's team explaining, the others were curious too. They helped to move the bone beast to a safer spot and asked curiously.
There were three girls in Tao Zheng's group. They didn't have to be so tense and were much more active.
"Lin, did Shao Xuan really hunt this beast?" One of the warriors asked.
"Of course!" The girl named Lin excitedly told the others about Shao Xuan's hunt.
Shao Xuan had already been pulled aside by Duo Kang for questioning.
Duo Kang didn't care if he could hunt a bone beast or not. He had hunted one when he was younger, but it was done as a team. Right now, Duo Kang was more concerned about Shao Xuan's condition and whether he was injured. The chief and shamaness had warned him before they left.
They asked about the details of the hunt and Shao Xuan answered all of them.
Duo Kang was relieved when he heard that Shao Xuan had adapted well. He even asked Shao Xuan to learn about the herbs they brought back from the hunt.
Shao Xuan had learned about herbs from Ji Ju. The plants in the forest were unfamiliar. Different places had different types of plants.
After learning about the herbs and eating barbecued meat, everyone fell asleep after a day of hunting. The guards outside took turns to keep watch.
After a good night's sleep, they woke up the next day feeling relaxed and not tired at all.
Shao Xuan walked out of the cave and looked at the forest in the distance. He took a deep breath, stretched his arms and stretched his body.
Naturally, there would be people guarding the prey in the hunting grounds. They were all experienced hunters, so Shao Xuan didn't have to worry.
The next day's hunt was about to begin. They had to continue hunting. As winter approached, there would be fewer animals. They had to be prepared.
