Ah Ow's presence gave Li Du and his party status, and no one cared about their skin color, let alone their race.
Even Li Du, whose skin color and appearance resembled that of a native, was considered a native.
For people who had received higher education and a civilized society, it was difficult to understand certain beliefs, such as the Mohican belief in the Holy Wolf.
The chief's attitude toward Li Du became more respectful, and he gave them the largest and most ornate temple in the tribe, where the Mohican gods were worshiped, including the wolf god.
In this regard, Li Du found it very funny. A smart wolf had actually subdued the stubborn Native Americans? It was strange.
After proper arrangements were made for them, it was almost evening.
A large bonfire was lit in the tribe, good wine and meat were brought out again, and a grand dinner party began.
Li Du's lunch had not been digested, and dinner was served again, more sumptuous, with roasted whole sheep and calves.
The Markelov brothers ate with grease dripping from their mouths. Little Horse patted his belly contentedly and said, "Damn, we've been in the Appalachian Mountains for almost a year, and every time we meet the natives, we're treated as enemies. Now we're treated as gods. It's really interesting."
"Let's keep eating!" Godzilla was even more satisfied.
The dinner party was held to welcome the arrival of the Holy Wolf. Almost a thousand people of the tribe participated, and the food consumption was astonishing.
The next day, the tribe was a little short of food, and the chief organized several hunting teams and arranged for them to go out and look for prey.
The Appalachian Mountains were rich, with lush forests and flowers and a large number of animals.
However, it was not easy to find prey, because the mountains were too big. There was indeed a large number of prey, but when scattered throughout the mountains, the density was very small.
Li Du felt a little soft after eating. When he saw the chief arranging hunting teams, he said, "Let's join in. My men and I are very good at hunting."
The chief laughed and said, "No, we can handle it. In fact, hunting is not difficult. The difficult part is finding prey, especially herds."
This kind of thing was even easier for Li Du. He patted Ah Ow's head and said, "Since you respect the Holy Wolf, let the Holy Wolf help you."
Wolves were natural hunters in the mountains. They were the best at finding prey. They could follow the excrement and shed fur of wild animals to find them.
On the contrary, wolves could always find their prey, but it was more troublesome to hunt them down. Unless a pack of wolves surrounded and intercepted the prey, it was very easy for the prey to escape.
Li Du joined the hunting party. After leaving the tribe and entering the forest, he began to give orders to Ah Ow and Ah Meow.
The two little ones were already very familiar with this kind of thing. Without saying much, Li Du took out his phone and showed them the picture of the prey, and they immediately ran out.
In fact, the Andean condors were the most suitable for this job. They had sharp eyes and very developed optical nerves, so they could always soar in the sky and find dead animals on the ground.
However, the baby eagle could not fly yet. It had only grown bigger. Li Du found a big basket in the tribe for Godzilla to carry, and the baby eagle was now in the basket.
It was inevitable that he would adopt the eaglet. Perhaps because he had rescued the eaglet from captivity, in addition to the fact that he had been feeding it for the past few days, the eaglet was very fond of him. It had been transformed by the little bug, just like Ah Ow and Ah Meow.
After wandering deep into the forest for about an hour, the hunting party's basket had some rabbits, pheasants, and other prey. These were the masterpieces of Ah Meow and Ah Ow, and Ah Meow had also caught an owl.
The owl was probably sleeping in the cave, but it was unlucky to meet Ah Meow …
Li Du and the chief were chatting happily when Ah Ow ran back and turned her head to look at the path she had come from.
Seeing this, Li Du understood what she meant and said, "Be careful, everyone. Ah Ow found a herd of animals, and this time there should be more than one prey!"
Ah Ow had caught a wild boar before, and she had taken care of the big wild boar herself. This time she came back to lead the way, apparently because there were too many prey or too strong for her to handle.
There were no strong beasts in the Appalachian Mountains, unless it was a wolf pack, so Li Du guessed that what Ah Ow had found was a herd of animals.
Sure enough, he and the two good hunters appointed by the chief quietly followed Ah Ow and finally found a herd of white-tailed deer in a pine forest.
The herd was quite large, about 30 to 40 animals, with about six or seven fawns, pawing the ground for food.
This made the hunters excited, and they retreated. The hunters excitedly described the prey to the chief.
A battle of encirclement began. Under the command of the chief, the Native Americans spread out. Starting from the outer layer of the forest, they found a direction and tied ropes to the trees. Then, in pairs, they hid behind trees and approached the herd from other directions.
The Native Americans walked barefoot in the mountains, making very little noise. In addition, their faces and bodies were smeared with green and red paint, so they were very well hidden.
Li Du and the others watched the battle from the outside. Lu Guan looked at the scene and said, "At that time, the British and later the Washington army suffered from this. The Native Americans are very good at surprise attacks."
However, the prey had far more outstanding insight than humans. The Native American hunters were already very cautious, but when they approached the herd, they were still detected.
Seeing this, the hunters who led the team gave the order to launch a surprise attack!
The attack came from three directions. Arrows were shot, and several deer fell to the ground on the spot. The deer that were attacked were those that ran toward the position of the hunters.
Most of the deer were not attacked. In a panic, they fled toward the opening left by the ambush circle and then ran into the trap.
The trees were tied with strong ropes. Once the big deer running at full speed hit it, it was likely to be directly strangled. Even if it was not strangled to death, it would be seriously injured.
There were also deer that ran into the nets, which were relatively loose. Once they were hit, they would be caught in the nets, making it more difficult for them to escape!
The fawns, on the other hand, were in a better situation. The ropes were tied higher, and the fawns could pass through unimpeded. The number of nets was small, and the chance of hitting them was small.
In the end, the fawns escaped, and almost all the adult deer were caught. Only two or three were lucky enough to get through the trap.
Li Du found that the hunting team deliberately let the fawns go. A deer passed by the chief, but the chief did not move and let it go. The others also had no intention of attacking.
Seeing that Li Du was paying attention to his approach, the chief laughed and said, "In your words, this is called sustainable development, right? Unless we are in a desperate situation, we do not catch prey that has not yet grown up. "
