After the end of the rainy season, it was Ta's hunting team's turn to go hunting.
This time, Shao Xuan followed Mai's hunting team to the mountaintop. When they gathered to sing the Hunting Song, Ta did not say anything when he saw Shao Xuan. He just looked a little unhappy, but he did not dare to show it.
It seemed that the Shaman had talked to him, so he did not dare to say anything. Even if he had any thoughts, he had to keep them to himself. If he showed it, it would be disrespectful to the Shaman.
Ta also held his breath. He thought that even without Shao Xuan, they could still get more plants. Even if they needed to set traps, could no one in the advance group know how to do that? Did the ancestors only protect Shao Xuan, but not the elites in the tribe? He did not believe it.
The other hunting team members also looked at Shao Xuan with curiosity, especially the young warriors. When they looked at Shao Xuan, they were obviously gloating. Their eyes seemed to say, "See, I told you. That guy will definitely be kicked out of the advance group."
Lang Ga was worried that Shao Xuan would think too much, so he kept comforting him on the way up the mountain. However, he did not know that Shao Xuan did not care about it at all. He was the one who had suggested it.
Caesar and Chacha were left in Old Ke's place. There was still some food left, and they all moved there. There was still some food in the ice cave on the mountaintop, so they would not starve.
The hunting time was a little tight this time. As soon as the rainy season was over, Ta quickly gathered the leaders of each hunting team to prepare for the hunting trip.
They had to come back before the full moon, because during the full moon, the beasts in the forest would be extremely violent. Therefore, according to past experience, no matter which hunting team went out at this time, they must make sure to come back before the full moon. It would be best if they could come back a few days earlier.
Last time, when Shao Xuan went hunting with Mai and the others, the hunting team stopped at the second foothold on the hunting route because of the discovery of the "ancestors". But this time, the hunting in the first and second footholds went smoothly, and Shao Xuan followed them to the third foothold.
There were many lakes in the hunting ground of the third foothold. After the rainy season, the water level of the larger lakes rose, and a few smaller lakes appeared in other places.
After the rainy season, many wild beasts came out to play, including many ferocious beasts. With the previous hunting experience and the increase in strength, the harvest this time was very rich. Because of the large proportion of high-level prey, the prey brought back this time was enough to last more than 50 days.
In the tribe, Old Ke was not as worried as before. After thinking about it, Old Ke concluded that Shao Xuan did not say "don't worry" before setting off.
And that was the truth. This hunting went very smoothly, and Shao Xuan also let go of his responsibilities, assisting, killing, setting traps, and so on. He was no longer a walk-on. Shao Xuan was very satisfied with the fruitful hunting.
The only difference from the previous hunting trips was that as the moon became rounder and rounder at night, the forest at night seemed to be covered with a layer of hazy silver light, and the view was not so dark. But at the same time, the wild beasts and ferocious beasts at night were obviously becoming more and more violent. No matter day or night, they could hear all kinds of wild beasts and ferocious beasts roaring more frequently than before.
Twenty days later, the hunting team returned to the tribe.
In the last few days, because of the frequent attacks of the wild beasts, many people in each hunting group had been injured. Fortunately, they had been prepared for this. Although many people were injured, only three people were seriously injured. Compared to the current situation, three people were not that serious. Fortunately, no one in Mai's hunting team was seriously injured.
When they returned to the tribe, Shao Xuan found that the level of the river at the foot of the mountain had decreased a lot.
The fish fences were still there. The first fish fence was originally close to the river, and after the end of the rainy season, the rising river level fell back down. Compared with before the rainy season, the river level was only a little higher, and the river water was in contact with the first fish fence.
But now, more than twenty days had passed. When they came back, the river level had decreased a lot, even lower than before the rainy season!
"It's going to be a full moon soon, and the river level will decrease faster in the next few days." Lang Ga said.
After thinking for a while, Lang Ga smiled and said, "The fish fences we set didn't catch anything during the rainy season, but after the full moon this time, maybe we will catch something."
The strange thing about this world was that the two moons in the night sky were only full once a year. At that time, the two moons in the night sky would meet, overlap, and then separate again, moving in different directions.
The night of the full moon was the time when the two moons overlapped.
At this time last year, Shao Xuan, like the other children, spent most of his time in the cave. He didn't get close to the river, so naturally, he didn't see the ebb and flow of the river. This year, there were more people fishing, but when the river level decreased, they were still not allowed to touch the water. Those who were supposed to stay in the cave continued to stay in the cave.
After collecting the game, Shao Xuan led Caesar and Chacha back.
"They have been a little restless recently. You should pay attention to them." Old Ke said.
Shao Xuan saw the pile of bones next to him. The long bones were bitten into small pieces, and Caesar didn't eat them, so he just threw them there. There were many scratches on the ground made by the wolf's claws. As for Chacha, she was very active before. She wanted to peck at everything she saw. She even used her claws to scratch and Chacha. But recently, she became very quiet and motionless. If she wasn't sleeping, she was just squatting in her nest and didn't go anywhere.
After Shao Xuan returned to the wooden house, he looked at the energetic Caesar and the unusually quiet Chacha. After thinking for a while, he took out his knife and decided to make something.
During this hunting trip, the leaves of a tree reminded Shao Xuan of a small toy.
Boomerang, also known as a boomerang, was something that Shao Xuan used to play with when he was a child. It could be made with paper, but in the tribe, it was better to use wood.
Shao Xuan made a "V" shaped boomerang. After becoming proficient in making stone and wood, it wasn't difficult to make a boomerang like this. He was very familiar with it.
In less than an hour, Shao Xuan walked out of the door with the finished product.
"Caesar, come out!"
Shao Xuan called out the wolf that was wandering around the house. He patted the wolf's head with the boomerang in his hand and said, "I'll throw it out. You pick it up."
When he trained Caesar in the past, Shao Xuan would sometimes throw out a branch or a bone for Caesar to pick up. So, Caesar was familiar with this.
Seeing Caesar's eyes on the boomerang in his hand, Shao Xuan knew that he was ready. He threw the boomerang in his hand.
The boomerang that was thrown out quickly flew away. But soon, it flew in an arc to the left. After a big circle, it flew back to Shao Xuan.
Caesar, who had been chasing after the boomerang, was very puzzled. He didn't understand why the boomerang would come back by itself. When Shao Xuan threw it out again, he ran after it again.
"What?!"
Tuo and Keke, who came to find Shao Xuan, were very surprised to see a piece of wood thrown out by Shao Xuan. The piece of wood made a big circle in the air and came back to Shao Xuan.
"What is this?!" Tuo came over and asked curiously.
They had gained a lot in this hunting trip. Compared to their previous hunting trips, the quantity was still considerable. But in terms of quality, it was not as good as the Green Thief and the Wind Ball. Even though some people in the team had set up traps outside at night, they still didn't gain anything. Some of the traps were even destroyed by unknown forces. He came to find Shao Xuan to ask if Shao Xuan wanted to join the advance group again. Unexpectedly, he saw such a novel thing as soon as he arrived.
"This is a boomerang." Shao Xuan said.
"Can I … have a try?" Tuo was itching to try.
"Sure." Shao Xuan handed the boomerang to Tuo and explained the technique.
"Won't it really be thrown away?" Tuo was still unsure. After all, he was used to throwing stone spears and other things. He always felt that this thing would fly far away once it was thrown out. As for flying back …
"No." Shao Xuan said affirmatively.
"Okay, let me try first."
Tuo gave it a try. Seeing that it could really fly back, he was relieved and used more strength for the second time.
Keke, who was standing next to Tuo, opened his eyes wide without blinking. He saw the piece of wood thrown out by Tuo and then fly back again. He swallowed his saliva and rubbed his palms, "Let me do it!"
When Tuo caught the flying boomerang, Keke rushed to grab it. However, the result of his carelessness was that the wooden boomerang was broken before it could be thrown out.
