"Eh?"
Seeing that Shao Xuan had really removed the poison sac from the white hair, Keke was so surprised that he made a sound of "Eh?", and this sound had a high drawl to show his surprise.
The rest of the people who were resting over there felt as if their hearts were being scratched by a cat's paw. They wanted to go over and take a look, but they were afraid of being disliked by the team leader. They could only sit there and continue to wait, but their eyes were fixed on Keke.
Unfortunately, Keke, the big guy, blocked everyone's view. The crowd was so angry that they wanted to throw a hammer at Keke. If you want to look, just look. Why are you blocking us?
Tuo didn't care too much. After treating the wounds of his companions, he walked to Keke's side and squatted down, watching Shao Xuan work.
In fact, Shao Xuan was just trying. Even if the white hair was hard to cut, it was still a plant and should be afraid of fire. He didn't expect it to work.
Looking at the white hairs of different lengths on his hand, Shao Xuan twisted his fingers.
Keke saw Shao Xuan holding two white hairs, twisting and pulling with his fingers. The two white hairs were tightly connected. After a short while, the white hairs on Shao Xuan's hand, which had been removed from the poison sac, were all connected into a two-meter-long string. It was a bit elastic after being pulled.
"Eh ~ ~"
Keke's "eh" was dragged out longer, and his tone was raised higher.
The people sitting on the side felt their hearts being scratched by a cat's paw again and again. They were so angry that they wanted to kick Keke aside.
F * ck, can't you just go aside and watch?!!
But in the end, they didn't dare to challenge the team leader's temper. They still didn't go over.
Ah-Suo wanted to go over and see what Shao Xuan was doing. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he saw the team leader's sharp eyes. He had no choice but to take back his foot. Although he couldn't go over, Ah-Suo pried a piece of soil from his foot and threw it at Keke.
Bang!
The soil directly hit Keke's back, and the soil was smashed into pieces.
Keke ignored him completely. Seeing Shao Xuan pulling the elastic rope made of white hair, he was also tempted. This person never knew what it meant to be polite. He directly snatched the thread from Shao Xuan's hand. "Give it to me!"
Shao Xuan gave it to Keke without hesitation. Then he continued to collect the white hairs around him.
Tuo had nothing to do, so he also helped to collect them.
Keke stood up and pulled the string, but it didn't break. It was really bouncy!
"Hey, this line is really interesting!" Keke shouted.
Ah-Suo glanced at Ta, only to see the veins on Ta's forehead bulging.
Keke turned his wrist and rolled up the two ends of the thread, probably to see if it could be broken. When there was only a small piece of the thread left, he pulled hard.
When Keke's hand was about to bleed, the rope finally broke with a "bang", and the place where it broke was not the joint.
"Ah, this is good! Xuan, what are you going to do with this? "Keke moved his wrist, which was bleeding, and asked.
"When I have time, I want to set a trap and see if I can catch something." Shao Xuan said.
The team leader's face became even darker.
Ta thought to himself that he would not take this guy with him next time, nor would he let him join the advance group!
When Ta announced the end of the break, Shao Xuan had already collected and connected a lot of white hairs. He rolled them up and put them in his animal skin bag. These white hairs were very light and weightless. They looked like a big roll, but in fact, they were like small dried fruits.
Next, they still went to hunt those jumping fruits.
Those jumping fruits that had escaped from the mother tree would lose their ability to move as long as they cut a piece of them. Everyone in the hunting group was experienced, so they could hit the target seven or eight times out of ten.
As for Shao Xuan, he was not even qualified to pick up the fruits that had lost their ability to jump on the ground. He was dismissed by the team leader, "Stay aside, don't get in our way."
Shao Xuan did not complain, but just watched carefully to see how the others cut those fruits.
Those fruits moved very fast, and there were many of them when they escaped. They were dazzling and could easily distract people's attention. Therefore, everyone kept their eyes on one fruit, and then cut the next one. At the same time, they had to estimate the movement of those fruits in their minds.
Jumping fruits might not be as emotional as animals, but they knew how to avoid harm. Once they were not careful, they would escape.
Shao Xuan hid behind the tree, and found a chance to cut six fruits.
Those jumping fruits that had escaped from the mother tree might stay outside for one or two days before returning to the mother tree. If they could not return to the mother tree in time for some reason, those fruits would wither directly, or be eaten by other animals, or take root and grow into new plants.
What the Shaman needed was not the flesh of those jumping fruits, but the core. The flesh was eaten by the advance group. Therefore, most of the time, the food that the advance group ate was vegetarian.
They did not stop until all the fruits on the jumping fruit tree had left.
They would pick up the fruits on the ground that could not jump, and put them into their animal skin bags. When they were hungry, they would eat the flesh, and keep the core.
In addition to the core of the jumping fruit, the hunting group also cut down the roots of a kind of muddy plant. That plant was different from the others. Its branches and leaves grew under the mud, while its roots grew upwards, reaching out of the mud.
They only needed to be careful not to step into the swamp.
The hunting group used the looping method. One person used a straw rope to tie the roots of the plant, and the other used a stone knife to cut off the main root.
It sounded simple, but it was very difficult to operate. It required a lot of skills, and it also tested the teamwork of the partners. If the main root could not be cut off in time, the roots that were exposed outside of the swamp would immediately shrink down. Once the roots were under the swamp, it would be hard to find a chance to cut them off, and they would have a great chance to escape. Of course, if they could not even tie the roots, then they would not be able to do anything.
As for Shao Xuan's task, Ta asked him to pick up those muddy tree roots.
If you asked Shao Xuan how he felt at the moment, he would say, "Oh, I'm just a walk-on."
At night, the hunting group rested on a huge tree. There was a hole in the tree, which was specially dug out. Not only this tree, there were holes in the other huge trees as well. However, it depended on luck. Sometimes the holes were occupied by birds and beasts, and if they could not fight for them, they had to find other trees.
Shao Xuan saw them pick a kind of fruit. After burning it slightly, the fruit would emit thick smoke. They would throw the smoking fruit into the tree hole. Soon, some of the little bugs in the tree holes or tree trunks would come out from the smoke and fall to the ground. When the smoke was finished, all kinds of wriggling insects would fall to the ground.
While they were throwing the smoked insects into the tree hole, Shao Xuan was busy with his line.
Someone in the hunting group was on guard duty, so Shao Xuan did not have to worry too much. However, Ta was very dissatisfied with Shao Xuan's behavior. When Shao Xuan asked Ta for instructions, Ta kept a cold face. After a long time, he finally responded with an angry voice, as if Shao Xuan had done something shameful.
Shao Xuan actually knew that Ta did not plan to take him with them next time, and he did not want to follow them next time. Although there were all kinds of benefits in the advance group, he still preferred to hunt with Mai and the others. He had always been treated like an ornament in the advance group, and Ta, who disagreed with him and was bossy. He did not feel good staying here. It was better to participate in the hunting.
The person who was throwing the fruit into the tree hole above the huge trunk turned around and saw Shao Xuan pointing his finger in the forest not far away. He asked his teammate beside him, "What is he doing?"
"Setting a trap … maybe?" the other person said uncertainly.
"What can we get at night? We don't need it anyway. Besides, doesn't he know that the boss hates this kind of method? "
"Who knows? If he wants to play, just let him play. I think the boss doesn't plan to take him with us next time."
"Then let's leave him alone."
For many people in the advance group, Shao Xuan was neither a family member nor a teammate. He would not have much to do with them in the future, so they did not include him in their group.
There were also factions in the tribe.
When the insects stopped falling from the tree hole above, Ta said to the others, "Okay, let's go up. It's getting dark."
Shao Xuan had just finished his work, so he followed the others to climb up the tree.
As Keke had said, there was rarely a fire in this place, so they did not light a fire when they slept in the tree hole at night.
They blocked the hole with big leaves, and soon they began to feel sleepy. Of course, some people would take turns to keep watch at night. That was necessary.
Shao Xuan had already eaten when he was under the tree, so he was not hungry. On the vast green land outside, as the night fell, there were all kinds of sounds coming from far and near. It was the sound of some plants closing their leaves or flowers.
Listening to those sounds, Shao Xuan fell asleep in a daze, until he was woken up by a buzzing sound at night. The others were also woken up, but they went back to sleep when they saw that the night watchers did not warn them.
Shao Xuan listened carefully to those sounds, trying to distinguish the number and size of the prey in the trap from the sounds. However, he was not as good as Old Ke, so his estimation was not accurate.
It was night now, so Shao Xuan could not go out to check the traps, so he could only wait until dawn. He did not expect to hunt any treasures, but just wanted to see what kind of things would be in this place at night. After all, this might be his only chance to come here, so he wanted to see more.
Let's wait until tomorrow. We'll know tomorrow.
