On the grassland, facing the morning sun, a group of black men with bows and arrows in their hands and short knives at their waists marched forward.
The golden sun shone on them, and in the midst of their brisk footsteps, their silhouettes meandered forward on the flat grassland.
Li Du, who was at the back of the group, asked Cheeks, "Where are we going now? Don't tell me we're just wandering around and hunting whatever prey we encounter? "
"You're right," said Cheeks. "We're wandering around, but not waiting for prey to come to us. We're looking for prey and their habitats."
After walking for more than half an hour, they found a bush.
Seeing this, the hunters smiled excitedly again and gathered together to discuss for a while. Four or five people from the group slowly approached the bush, while the others continued to move forward.
The Hadza people left the tribe in groups, but they did not stay together. They would constantly split up along the way to find as much food as possible.
There were often many birds living in the bushes on the grassland, and these hunters were there to hunt for birds.
Cheeks handed Li Du a bow and two arrows, and they quietly approached the bush together.
Li Du had brought his own bow and crossbow, which were in the little bug's black hole. It was inconvenient to take them out at this time, so he used the Hadza people's bows for the time being.
He had seen them in the morning. These bows were made by the Hadza people themselves, and the materials were quite rough.
There was no bamboo in Africa, and most of the bows were made of polished wood. Some of the bowstrings were made of hemp rope, and some were made of animal tendons.
Their arrows were also homemade and divided into many types. The blunt ones were used for small animals such as birds and wild rats, which could injure but not kill them.
Some of the arrows were metal arrowheads exchanged from the Datugas, which were specially used to kill small animals such as gazelles, deer, and wild goats.
In addition, each of them carried a stone arrow coated with venom. This arrow was completely black and was used to attack large animals. The arrow was coated with a deadly poison.
The hunters carefully approached the bush from all sides, but the wild birds inside were very alert. When they sensed the presence of danger, they immediately flapped their wings and flew up.
The hunters drew their bows and arrows, and as the arrows were fired, the wild birds that had just flown up were shot down.
After a round of attack, they began to reap the harvest. The wild birds were collected and put into large bags made of baboon skin. The arrows were retrieved and put back into the quiver.
The people were even happier to have another harvest.
Cheeks laughed. "Maybe we have to keep inviting guests to the hunt. You guys have brought us good luck."
Soon, his luck came to an end.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a herd of elephants appeared in their field of vision.
This was the first time he had seen wild elephants. They were still a few hundred meters away, but these giant beasts had already brought a huge visual impact to his vision.
The hunters backed off nervously when they saw the wild elephant.
This elephant herd was very big, there were more than ten elephants. Among them, there were two female elephants with baby elephants, and the rest were all adult elephants. They walked rampantly on the grassland without any misgivings.
Seeing that the hunters were nervous, Li Du said, "There's no need to be afraid of elephants, right? This kind of animal can also attack? "
Cheeks said, "They are the most aggressive beasts. Our tribe was attacked by a herd of elephants before. For some reason, they rushed in and went crazy!"
Li Du's understanding of elephants came from television programs. There was still a difference between television and reality. Wild elephants were not very good-tempered. They attacked based on their own preferences. If they were in a good mood, they would even allow people to touch them. Then, they could only wait to be annihilated.
Unfortunately, elephant herds were often in a bad mood when faced with people armed with weapons.
When the people found the herd, some elephants also found them and walked over with unfriendly faces.
Of course, Li Du could not understand the expressions of the elephants, nor could he see their faces. However, when the animals were angry, humans could detect the difference.
Cheeks was ready to run away with his people. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, bend down, bend down, and run as fast as you can. As long as we are out of their sight, we will be safe."
After that, he took the lead. He bent down and ran in the grass with his buttocks in the air.
It was a funny move, but it was better than being trampled by the wild elephants.
The four little ones stared at the elephants. It was the first time they had seen an animal of such size. They were so shocked that they even forgot to run for a moment.
Li Du went over and slapped them one by one. He whispered, "Why are you still not retreating?"
After running a few steps, they suddenly heard the roar of a car engine.
The advancing herd of elephants stopped and looked around with their big ears flashing.
Li Du and the others also stopped. The group looked around. Brother Wolf pointed to the side and said, "There."
Two SUVs appeared in their field of vision. The cars were more aggressive than the elephant herd, and they ran more recklessly.
The prairie was relatively flat, but there were many gullies on the ground. It was very bumpy and dangerous for the cars to run at such a speed.
The people in the cars had come for the elephants, but when they passed by them, they had no scruples. There was a hunter blocking their way, and the car crashed into him!
This time, Li Du was too far away from the hunter and could not react in time. Fortunately, Ah Ow was running with all her might and ran in front. When she saw the car crash, she jumped up and knocked away the stupid hunter next to her.
Just like that, the SUVs rolled over the ground where the hunter had been and drove away!
Li Du was shocked and angry. Through the window, he saw the people inside and shouted, "D * mn you —"
"Haha, a bunch of stupid native niggers!" An arrogant laugh came from the car and interrupted him.
Another shout came from the car behind, "Aha, kill that elephant, its tusks are mine!"
The two cars approached the elephant herd and then came to a sudden stop. Someone jumped out with a shotgun, aimed at the elephant, and fired. "Bang! Bang! "
A female elephant's flesh was torn and blood was splattered. She let out a hoarse whine, "Moo!"
The leading male elephant was angry. It flicked its trunk and suddenly rushed forward.
In an instant, Li Du knew why Cheeks and others were afraid of wild elephants. These animals were not as docile and clumsy as they were on TV. They could sprint very fast!
Elephants ran very fast, and their bodies were huge. The impact of their charge was very terrifying.
Li Du had never seen a tank, but he thought that the power of a tank's charge was nothing more than that!
The people in the cars also underestimated the wild elephants. They did not expect the elephants, which walked slowly, to have such explosive power and charge so fast.
The drivers of the two cars hurriedly turned the steering wheel and fled. The three people who got out of the car and fired rushed back into the car with pale faces. Their legs were probably weak.
One of the SUVs made a turn and sped away. The other car also made a turn. Unfortunately, one of the car's front wheels was stuck in a hole in the grass!
