Although Hui Shi was young, he was already an outstanding hunter.
Honestly speaking, 17 years old was equivalent to a middle-aged man in the Stone Age where the average age didn't exceed 30.
"It's coming this way!"
Hui Shi ran a few steps and grabbed onto a vine hanging down from a towering tree. He then climbed up like a monkey.
"You stay here!"
Sun Mo instructed the papaya girl. After that, he quickly climbed up the tree and hid behind the dense leaves.
Only by looking down from a high vantage point would one be able to unleash the advantage of a bow and arrow.
Very soon, three stumbling figures entered Sun Mo's line of sight.
Pak!
Jin Mujie's legs were weak and she didn't manage to step over the thick roots of the tree. She tripped and fell to the ground.
"Teacher Jin!"
Gu Xiuxun turned around to help her.
"You guys can run!"
Jin Mujie gritted her teeth and gripped her stone blade tightly. "I can't do it anymore. Why don't I cover your retreat?"
"No!"
Gu Xiuxun said and squatted down. "I'll carry you!"
Pak!
Jin Mujie pushed Gu Xiuxun away. "Do you want to die?"
"Her choice is right!"
Bai Fu sat at the side and recovered her strength. "Rather than running until I'm exhausted and get captured alive, I might as well fight to the death and unleash my remaining value."
"Shut up!"
Gu Xiuxun roared. After that, she looked at Jin Mujie. "If Sun Mo was here, he would definitely not give up on you. Also, if I did that, I wouldn't be worthy of the title of a great teacher!"
Bai Fu's face heated up when she heard this.
Gu Xiuxun's choice was very stupid, but it contained the radiance and courage of humanity.
"Stop arguing. If Sun Mo is the one injured, he won't implicate you guys."
Jin Mujie was determined not to leave. As an elder sister, how could she implicate the younger generation?
Roar! Roar!
A group of people screamed and chased after them.
"Very good, no one can leave now."
Although Bai Fu sounded very rational, her actions didn't abandon Gu Xiuxun and Jin Mujie. She grabbed the stone blade she had snatched from the savage. "Since this is the case, let's fight to the death!"
"Mn!"
Gu Xiuxun drew in a deep breath. "If I'm captured alive and you guys have the chance, give me a quick death!"
(My body mustn't be defiled by the savage.)
Sigh!
If he had known earlier, he would have let Sun Mo have it easy.
"Me too!"
Bai Fu nodded.
…
Sitting on the tree, Hui Shi looked at the three women, his heart bubbling with joy.
How beautiful!
I must capture her and bring her back to bear my children.
Especially the older one. Her figure was like a big, ripe snow pear, making people want to take a bite.
However, there seemed to be quite a number of enemies. It was a little troublesome.
"I've finally met an acquaintance!"
Tears flowed down Sun Mo's face.
The barbarians of the Red Rock Tribe continued to clamor.
The reason they did this was to force Jin Mujie and the other two to continue running so that they could deplete their stamina. This was a common method used by the savages when hunting.
Seeing that the three of them were not moving and were going to fight like cornered beasts, one of the hunters immediately raised his bow. However, the instant the arrow was released, the Barbarian beside him slapped him on the arm.
Pa!
Xiu!
The arrow missed its mark.
"What are you doing? What if he dies? "
Red Earth was very angry. If such a beautiful woman were to be shot to death, how much of a loss would it be?
"Be careful. If we present them to the chief, we will definitely be rewarded!"
"Why not keep it for yourself? I don't have any women yet. "
"The Fire God has been enraged recently. Why don't we use them as sacrifices to the Fire God?"
The savages made a ruckus as though Jin Mujie and the other two had become their captives.
"How should we split them?"
Red Earth asked.
There were seven savages while there were only three women. It was too little.
"What do you mean by this?"
A baldy didn't understand. "According to old habits, one woman for a day?"
After they captured the women of the Gray Stone Tribe, this was how they would split them, taking turns to enjoy them.
"I want the big one."
Red Earth was worried that these fellows wouldn't understand and added, "Monopolize her!"
These two words caused the savages to start arguing.
Hui Shi looked toward Sun Mo.
Sun Mo immediately pointed at three people.
Hui Shi nodded, instantly understanding. Sun Mo meant that he would be responsible for these three. After that, he saw Sun Mo putting up three fingers and bending them back one by one.
He knew that this was sign language. When all three fingers bent back and turned into a fist, they would be able to attack.
Speaking of which, it was really convenient.
When the savages hunted, they would use all sorts of bird cries in place of language. However, when they were fighting against enemies, they couldn't do so. After all, everyone was very familiar with each other. No matter how similar the bird cries were, they would be able to recognize them.
"Teacher is too talented. After I return to the tribe, I can promote this sign language!"
Hui Shi thought of this and shot three arrows at a short-haired savage.
This was to ensure that the accuracy was high.
Sun Mo's archery was at the grandmaster-grade. In the plains, he would have the reputation of being a godly archer. He was worried about the safety of the three of them. Hence, he went all out from the start of the battle, doing his best to reduce the other party's strength.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two arrows shot out consecutively, targeting Red Earth.
Red Earth's senses were very sharp and he subconsciously dodged. Although he wasn't instantly killed, he was still hit in the thigh by the first arrow. This caused his movements to slow down, and the second arrow penetrated his eye socket.
Plop!
Red Earth fell to the ground.
"This bow and arrow is really trash!"
Sun Mo was speechless. The accuracy of the bow and arrow was too bad. Luckily, he was cautious and used two arrows. Otherwise, his sneak attack would have failed.
This Red Earth was tall and well-built. Clearly, he was the leader of the team. Killing him first would greatly reduce the enemy's morale. Moreover, without a leader, the enemies would most likely fall into chaos.
As expected, the remaining people made different choices. Some of them pounced toward Jin Mujie and the other two, unwilling to give up the spoils of war in their hands. Some of them hid, and some of them ran toward the direction where the arrows came from, preparing to engage in close combat.
"Brave but not astute!"
Sun Mo loved such enemies the most. They could easily shoot arrows and reap their lives.
"Hui Shi, attack!"
Sun Mo bellowed.
Hui Shi didn't suspect anything and directly pounced down from the tree.
However, Sun Mo remained calm and took aim with his sword.
"It's a b * stard from the Gray Stone Tribe!"
The three people who were hiding saw Hui Shi and also rushed out. In the end, they were covered by a round of arrow rain.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The arrows whistled through the air, causing them to be dumbfounded.
(What the hell?
Aren't you guys afraid of accidentally killing Hui Shi?)
Hui Shi also jumped in fright. There had never been such a battle tactic in the past. However, when he saw the enemies being shot to death, he felt happy again. (Teacher is really amazing.
His archery skills are godly. When I return, I'll get him to teach me!)
If there was a choice, Sun Mo wouldn't want to let Hui Shi take the risk. However, he had to quickly eliminate the number of enemies, or Jin Mujie and the other two would be finished.
Luckily, the effect was excellent.
At this moment, only the two people who had pounced toward Jin Mujie and the others were left.
Gu Xiuxun and Bai Fu carried their stone blades and went up.
After they entered the game, they lost all their spirit qi and their physical strength weakened. They were no different from ordinary women. Luckily, they still had their moves.
It was only because of their exquisite moves that they were evenly matched with the savages. Otherwise, they would have been killed long ago.
"It's over!"
Gu Xiuxun didn't feel happy at all when she saw the internal strife among the savages. After all, no matter which tribe they were from, they would still be captives.
"Hold on!"
Sun Mo bellowed. He pulled on a tree vine and swung down from the tree branch that was over ten meters above the ground.
He was like Mount Tai!
"Sun Mo?"
Gu Xiuxun's eyes brightened. A great sense of happiness immediately filled her chest.
"Run!"
The remaining two savages wisely retreated when they saw this.
"Don't chase anymore!"
Seeing that Hui Shi wanted to give chase, Sun Mo hurriedly persuaded.
"Sun Mo, boohoohoo, it's so good to see you."
Gu Xiuxun dashed over and hugged Sun Mo. During this period of time, she had suffered a lot of fright.
"I'm fine now!"
Sun Mo patted the masochist's back. "Where are the others?"
"There's only the three of us!"
Gu Xiuxun's expression changed. "You can't be alone as well, right?"
"There's also Zhiruo!"
Sun Mo told Gu Xiuxun to let go of him. He still wanted to check on Jin Mujie's injuries.
"Teacher!"
The papaya girl came over and hurriedly greeted.
"Teacher Sun!"
Bai Fu expressed her thanks, but her eyes surveyed Sun Mo with curiosity.
Although this man was wearing a grass skirt, he was fully equipped with weapons. There was a bow, stone blade, dagger, and his quiver was filled with arrows. It was clear that he was a high-grade weapon.
Of course, the most important thing was his complexion.
After starving for so many days, Bai Fu and the other two were sallow and emaciated. However, Sun Mo was in a good state. Although his face wasn't glistening with oil, he was full of vigor.
Also, the big papaya on the chest of this female student was still as impressive as before. There were no signs of it shrinking at all.
Bai Fu felt that she wasn't as good as Sun Mo, but she was definitely stronger than Lu Zhiruo. In the end, she wasn't as good as Lu Zhiruo. Clearly, Sun Mo was the key.
"Teacher, do you want to eat something?"
Without needing Sun Mo's instruction, Lu Zhiruo distributed the jerky to everyone.
"Boohoohoo, Zhiruo, I like you too much."
Gu Xiuxun hugged Lu Zhiruo and rubbed her face against hers. "You don't know this, but during the first few days, I was so hungry that I had hallucinations. When I saw the chicken drumstick shaped clouds in the sky, I even drooled."
Gu Xiuxun took the jerky and chewed it greedily, not willing to swallow it in one go.
"The wounds are a little festering, but it's not a big problem!"
Sun Mo inspected Jin Mujie's injuries. "Let's go back and rest first!"
Hui Shi immediately ran over.
"Teacher, can I carry her?"
Hui Shi tried to please her, but Jin Mujie was filled with wariness.
"He wants to carry you!"
Lu Zhiruo helped to translate. "He has no ill intentions!"
"Thank you, but there's no need!"
Jin Mujie would rather leave by herself than let a savage touch her.
"Let me carry you!"
Sun Mo couldn't possibly leave Jin Mujie alone.
"Is he your slave?"
Gu Xiuxun chewed on the jerky and surveyed Hui Shi curiously. She could tell that this savage was very respectful toward Sun Mo.
"Nope!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
"Then why would he listen to your words?"
Bai Fu didn't understand.
(Why do we get hunted whenever we encounter savages? You, on the other hand, actually have a savage as your henchman?)
"It's the power of wisdom."
Lu Zhiruo showed off and told the three of them about Sun Mo's battle record of deciphering the witchcraft from the totems.
"..."
Jin Mujie and the other two were dumbfounded and contributed a wave of favorable impression points.
Sun Mo carried Jin Mujie on his back and placed his hands on her thighs. After that, he felt awkward.
Wasn't this feeling a little too clear?
The three women were all wearing grass skirts and tree leaves.
If this was in the modern era, they would be wearing a swimsuit. But in the Nine Provinces where women would be scolded for being indecent if they revealed their embroidered shoes, such attire was too much.
"Student Lu, please lead the way!"
Bai Fu's face was flushed. She wanted to leave with Lu Zhiruo first to avoid Sun Mo's gaze.
"This is the body in the game. It's just a bunch of data. Why are you guys so anxious?"
Sun Mo was speechless.
"What data are they?"
Gu Xiuxun was curious. In any case, she was already used to Sun Mo looking at her.
The group of them returned to the stone house.
Sun Mo cooked a pot of porridge with some meat in it.
"Wow, I can finally eat porridge again."
Gu Xiuxun was so touched that she almost cried.
For the next three days, Sun Mo had sufficient manpower and his work efficiency also increased.
Moreover, everything Sun Mo did was so correct. Hence, Bai Fu accepted her fate and became a subordinate.
Reality proved that when a literary girl was hungry, she wouldn't be able to be literary. Let alone composing poems, she wouldn't even want to curse.
It was too tiring!
"First, crush the salt lumps and throw them into the stone pot. Add spring water and plant ash to the boil and let it settle!"
Sun Mo introduced the process as he personally operated.
After the red-hot charcoal cooled down, it became a very good filter. With the addition of a filter net woven from mulberry bark, it was done three times to filter out the impurities and particles in the brine. Then, it was boiled over a large fire to let the salt precipitate out.
"For the final step, pour the salt water on the stone slab and let it be exposed to the sun."
In truth, this was a process of purification of coarse salt.
Of course, it was inevitable that there would be some heavy metal ions in it. However, before this stuff poisoned people to death, the barbarians would have long died of illness or accidents.
Looking at the white, fine salt powder at the bottom of the pot, Hui Shi was dumbfounded.
He dipped his finger into it and licked it.
So salty.
Moreover, there was no bitter taste.
Was this also salt?
If he hadn't personally witnessed Sun Mo creating them through magical sorcery, Hui Shi wouldn't have believed it at all.
This was too amazing!
Plop!
Hui Shi knelt down to Sun Mo and kowtowed with force, calling out in a gibberish.
"You are a prophet bestowed to us by our ancestors. Please follow me back to the tribe."
Hui Shi pleaded.
With Teacher Sun, the Limestone Tribe would definitely prosper.
Not only Hui Shi, but Bai Fu and the other two were also staring at Sun Mo in a daze.
How can you even do such a thing?
How many more skills do you have that we don't know about?
"It's just the purification of coarse salt. There's no need to make a fuss. You haven't seen how outstanding I am."
Sun Mo chuckled.
He wasn't interested in being a prophet, but he needed to recruit a group of fighters. After all, as a great teacher, he couldn't possibly do everything personally, right?
Hui Shi had been out for more than half a month, but he had no thoughts of returning home. Because by following Sun Mo, he could learn new things every day.
Putting aside his knowledge of herbs and animals, even his fishing skills were amazing.
When Sun Mo lifted the ground cage from the lake, Hui Shi was completely stunned when he saw a few prawns and two fish inside.
Fish and prawns were really stupid!
Hui Shi immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Sun Mo piously.
"There are actually crabs. I can eat meat now."
Sun Mo thought of that joke. People were so poor that they could only rely on eating hairy crabs to survive.
"Can this be eaten?"
Bai Fu frowned. This malevolent-looking thing didn't seem to be edible, right?
"You guys are in luck today. Watch as I, Chef Sun, cook a delicious meal for you."
Sun Mo was prepared to show off his culinary skills.
