After Lang Ga and the others left, Mao paced back and forth in the cave anxiously. He still didn't know what to do. He scratched his head impatiently and looked around, trying to find something to distract himself. When he turned his head, he saw Shao Xuan sitting on the straw mat with his legs crossed and staring blankly.
"Hey!" Mao shouted towards that direction, "Why aren't you worried?"
Mao didn't have a good impression of Shao Xuan, but now was not the time to care about personal grudges. What's more, there were only two kids in the cave. If he didn't find someone to talk to, he would be worried. He always felt that it would be better to find something to do and talk to someone.
Shao Xuan raised his head and glanced at him, "So what if I'm worried? If we go out like this, we'll become targets before we even get close. Do you think we'll drag them down? "
"I didn't say I wanted to go out!" Mao roared angrily. Although he did want to go out and take a look, he still felt uncomfortable when Shao Xuan said it so bluntly.
"If you can't go out, what else do you want?" While speaking, Shao Xuan pointed at the big pieces of meat that Lang Ga and the others hadn't had time to roast, and said, "Instead of doing nothing here, why don't you roast them?"
"No!!" Seeing Shao Xuan's attitude, Mao was furious. He felt that Shao Xuan was completely heartless. Why did Mai and the others treat Shao Xuan so well?
Shao Xuan ignored Mao. In fact, he was not as calm as he looked. He always felt that something was going to happen, but there was nothing he could do now. He felt frustrated.
Beside him was a small bow that Lang Ga had just finished making. It was tightly wrapped with vines, and the string was soaked in beast blood and some kind of grass juice. It was very tough, and did not have the smell of beast blood. Instead, it had the smell of the woods in the forest. If it was hidden in the bushes or trees, it would be very difficult to find. Although this kind of bow was not very lethal to the wild beasts in this forest, it played a very good role in driving the wild beasts away. Previously, Lang Ga had used this bow and set to drive the wild boars towards Shao Xuan and the others.
It was a pity that such a bow was too small, and there were not enough materials to make a bow that could withstand the peak strength of a totem warrior. Ground bows, traps, and other things were not very effective against the large beasts in this forest. Most of the time, they still had to rely on manpower.
Shao Xuan sighed almost imperceptibly. He wondered how Mai and the others were doing. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any casualties this time …
Hunting was always filled with danger. One moment it was calm and tranquil, and the next moment it might be like standing on the edge of a cliff. The slightest carelessness could cause one to fall into the abyss without leaving behind a corpse.
Compared to that, the tribe was really comfortable.
No wonder Old Ke said that they must go into the forest to have a look. If they stayed in the tribe, they would never feel such pressure. Here, they could only try their best to survive under the pressure of the cruel law of nature. "If I don't eat you, you will eat me".
In this place, there were more ferocious beasts than humans. It was extremely difficult to rely on one's own strength to get food and survive in this dangerous forest. Of course, the warriors in the tribe had their own special source of power, but no warrior was strong enough to go hunting alone in the deep forest. Only by working together and relying on the strength of the group could one survive. Just like the four-fanged wild boar that they had encountered before, and the Thorn Black Wind that Mai and the others were fighting hard against.
There was still a long way to go from a rookie to a hunter.
He stopped thinking about it, because it was useless to think too much. Shao Xuan cut off a small piece of meat from the large piece of bloody meat on the side, poked a small hole with a stone spear, and pierced the meat with a half-meter long stick. Then, he took it to the fire and roasted it for a while. When a layer of burnt skin formed on the surface of the meat, Shao Xuan moved the stick to a position slightly further away from the fire to prevent the oil from flowing out. Shao Xuan continued to roast it.
Mao, who was anxious and didn't know what to do, turned around twice and looked at Shao Xuan again. He asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing? Roasting it for yourself?! "
If it was roasted by the hunting team, they would not only roast such a small piece. But Shao Xuan only roasted such a small piece. Obviously, he roasted it for himself!
"Yes." Shao Xuan answered weakly. He was really hungry, and the energy he gained from eating the meat was gone again. Now that he couldn't do anything else, he might as well fill his stomach first. Only when he was full would he have the energy to do other things.
Mao's face twitched. He was still a little full. The four-fanged boar meat he had eaten before was about the same size as Shao Xuan. Mai had calculated it before he cut it for them. Too much meat would cause indigestion. If he didn't move after eating, he wouldn't be hungry for the whole day. But now Shao Xuan was roasting meat again!
"Eat until you die!" Mao said angrily.
Shao Xuan didn't care. He was really getting hungrier and hungrier. He didn't move much.
When the meat was roasted, Mai and the others still hadn't come back. Shao Xuan felt the warm feeling after eating the meat again. He was sleepy. He wanted to wait for Mai and the others to come back, but his eyelids were getting heavier and his mind was a little muddled. He couldn't stay awake anymore. Shao Xuan said to Mao, who was walking back and forth to the entrance of the cave, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up if anything happens. Don't go out by yourself."
Seeing that Shao Xuan still had the mood to sleep, Mao pointed at Shao Xuan angrily. His chest heaved up and down. He wanted to punch Shao Xuan, but he restrained himself.
However, after Shao Xuan fell asleep, Mao walked back and forth. As he continued to digest the meat and store the energy, he also felt sleepy. He had no choice. He couldn't wait for Mai and the others to come back, and he couldn't go out of the cave. So he just lay down and fell asleep.
The sky outside the cave was getting darker and darker. The sun was about to set, leaving only a little halo on the edge of the mountain in the distance. The halo was getting smaller and smaller.
The noisy forest gradually quieted down. The day animals had already retreated to their resting places, and the nocturnal animals were also getting restless as the night deepened.
At the same time, Mai and the others, who were stopped at the foot of the mountain, were also very depressed.
The Thorn Black Wind was very territorial. Generally speaking, there would only be one Thorn Black Wind in one place. There was only one pool at the foot of the mountain, and the area around the pool would be considered as the territory of the Thorn Black Wind. Theoretically, there should only be one Thorn Black Wind here. Last time, they only met one adult Thorn Black Wind.
But now, they were stopped by two adult Thorn Black Winds!
After Lang Ga and the other four joined the team, the pressure on Mai and the others was slightly relieved. When they went down the mountain, Lang Ga and the others deliberately brought some herbs from the cave. Some of them were used for external injuries, and the other was used for the Thorn Black Wind. The herbs mixed by the Shaman were not good for ferocious beasts. Now, the Thorn Black Wind attacked less often.
The team of thirty people did not have the upper hand when facing two Thorn Black Winds, and the two Thorn Black Winds could not do anything to Mai and the others for the time being. Most of the time, they just watched not far away. But as long as someone ran up the mountain, the two Thorn Black Winds would quickly run to stop them.
"Mai, I feel something is wrong!" Qiao said hurriedly, with her back to Mai, staring at the Thorn Black Wind that was hiding behind a few trees not far away.
"Didn't you almost cut off the tail of that Thorn Black Wind last time? I have observed, but there is no trace on the tails of these two Thorn Black Wind. "
During the last hunt, Mai's team almost used all of their strength to force that crazy Thorn Black Wind back. Mai almost cut off the tail of that Thorn Black Wind.
The wound was near the tip of the tail. After thirty days, even if the Thorn Black Wind had a strong recovery ability, it was impossible for it not to leave any trace. But now, there was no trace on the tails of these two Thorn Black Winds!
