There was also an episode when the bear returned to the camp from hunting and saw these canoes. He was so happy that he wanted to try them out.

It's just that he was too big. After entering the canoe, the waterline rose a lot, and there was no point. Therefore, the canoe just kept spinning in the lake, unable to move forward.

In the end, Bai Lang entered the water and blocked the spinning canoe.

After this incident, the bear was completely indifferent to the canoe.

As more and more canoes are launched into the water, the number of corpses on the lake is also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, some corpses have been soaked in the water for too long and have sunk to the surface of the lake. These corpses are very

It’s hard to salvage, but it can’t be left alone.

After all, these are not small numbers.

Xia Qi patted his head for the last time and prepared to make a few fishing nets.

It is not difficult to make a fishing net. The main material is the rattan of maidenhair rattan.

The maidenhair rattan is actually the kind of rattan used to make slings in the summer. There is a very tough wire-like line in the center, hence the name.

It was during the training of the sling troops that the rattan was damaged, and the thread inside leaked out.

The thickness of this kind of line is about one millimeter, but it is very tough. Xia Qi once tested that one line is enough to support dozens of kilograms of weight.

Therefore, using iron wire rattan to weave fishing nets can greatly extend the service life of fishing nets.

And not only that, braiding several pieces of this thread into one can also be used as a bowstring.

Xia Qi found a few clever women, and he planned to leave the work of weaving fishing nets to the three of them.

Xia Qi had never done anything like weaving fishing nets before, but he had never eaten pork, so he had never seen a pig run away?

He used a branch as a pen and drew the general structure of the fishing net on the ground. While drawing, he explained it to these women. The overall structure of the fishing net was quite simple, but it was mainly too complex and too detailed.

They can't do it now, they don't have the technology or the conditions, so they can only make a simple one and use it first.

The few women followed what Xia Qi said and started exploring bit by bit. Once they had a clue, the next work would become easier and smoother.

That afternoon, several women came to Xia Qi with a large net.

[A "fishing net" appears in your civilization, and you will gain 50 civilization points and 5 production points]

"That's right. Keep up the good work, and I'll reward each of you with a grilled fish tonight."

Although this fishing net looks very simple, and the opening is a bit big, and smaller fish can get out of it, the purpose of Xia Qi's fishing net in the first place was not to catch fish.

The women were in high spirits, not only because they received compliments, but more importantly, because they had extra food in the evening.

Later, Xia Qi handed the fishing net to the people on one of the canoes. After hearing Xia Qi's command, they nodded thoughtfully.

Then, they started fishing with a net for the first time.

When they cast the net for the first time, they did not fish out the carcasses of beasts, but instead pulled up a net full of fish.

Although the gaps in the fishing nets are large, there are so many fish in the lake that with the current number of people in the Xia tribe, they would not be able to eat them all in a thousand years. Among them, there are also a lot of huge fish.

few.

Probably this is because these fish have no natural predators and just eat

Maybe it's because I'm taller.

Everyone was very excited about the fish they caught. After all, there were fish to eat.

But Xia Qi doesn't look very good-looking. This guy hates eating fish, he really hates it to his core.

"Chief, the deer is back." At this time, someone came to Xia Qi and reported to him.

"Well, let him come over."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the man turned around and went to call the deer.

A few minutes later, the deer with a weathered face came over.

"Clan leader." He called to Xia Qi.

"Yeah." Xia Qi nodded and asked, "How is it?"

"I have already checked, and those cannibals are still in that crack in the ground." The deer replied.

Because of Xia Qi's correction, people like Pan and others from the Black Stone Tribe have understood that those are not monsters, but people wearing wolf bone masks.

Human fear comes from the unknown.

After they learned that those people were just living people like them, the fear in their hearts was reduced a lot.

"Huh? So their numbers have decreased?"

The deer shook his head and said, "No, I saw with my own eyes that they performed a sacrifice, and there was a large, dark mass of people below."

Lu's answer surprised Xia Qi. You must know that those people live in the cracks in the ground. It rained so heavily some time ago. Logically speaking, they should have suffered heavy losses.

Then Xia Qi thought of the stream again. Although the water flow was not too large, in the long run, a large amount of water should accumulate in that crack in the ground. But the fact is that the ground in that crack in the ground is actually very dry.

This made Xia Qi think of a possibility. Perhaps, there was a large gap inside the ground crack, or even an underground river. Because this was the only way to explain it.

Xia Qi couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Fortunately, he asked Lu to go check it out in advance, otherwise, he would most likely suffer a big loss if he was careless.

That's right, Xia Qi is already preparing to deal with that cannibal tribe.

After this period of development, the total population of the tribe has exceeded 500, making it one of the largest tribes in the area. There are also more than 200 young adults with fighting ability.

After working overtime during this period, the ordnance department has accumulated a large number of weapons and equipment, and it is time to deal with the cannibal tribe.

Otherwise, like the Sword of Damocles hanging above his head, it will sooner or later become Xia Qi's heartache.

Early the next morning, leaving fifty soldiers to look after the house, Xia Qi set out with the remaining 170 soldiers.

At this time, the Xia tribe could be said to have strong soldiers and horses. Everyone was wearing leather armor and holding weapons in their hands.

The bear held two huge short axes in his hands, the handles of which were ground from iron birch.

Bai Lang is holding an axe. To put it bluntly, it is a long ax with a spear point added. This kind of weapon can be used for slashing as well as thrusting. Needless to say, the handle of this axe is also made of iron birch.

made.

And Pan, the talent that Xia Qi also valued, had now been transferred to a long-range unit, specifically responsible for the slinger unit.

Pan's force value is not high, and the long-range weapon is a very correct choice for him.

The once dry river was now filled with water again, and the current was turbulent and turbid. Therefore, everyone could only walk on the shore.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Fortunately, after the baptism of flash floods, the low trees on both sides of the bank have all disappeared.

When everyone walked out of the forest and came to the grassland, the path Xia Qi and the others took had completely disappeared, leaving not even a trace.

Fortunately, there was a scout named Lu who led a group of people through the grass.

However, we can't reach that tribe today, so we have to sleep in the wilderness at night.

However, this time Xia Qi was fully prepared. Not only did everyone have barbecued meat to eat, he even prepared bedding. However, Xia Qi didn't rest well at night.

The bear's snoring made Xia Qi's head buzz.

But he soon got used to it, and slept soundly with his back against the bear.

Early the next morning, everyone continued on their way after eating.

At noon, the team finally felt the crack in the ground, but Xia Qi did not choose to attack directly, but prepared.

He asked the bear and the white wolf to lead people to ambush at the entrance of the crack in the ground, and the others began to collect hay and fix it into a ball.

Xia Qi remembered that this cannibal tribe had the habit of offering sacrifices in the evening.

The time came to dusk unknowingly, and sure enough, the people of this cannibal tribe came out of nowhere and gathered in the square in front, and soon they became a dense mass.

As the new priest prayed, the other cannibals all knelt on the ground devoutly, motionless.

"Prepare - light the fire!"

Xia Qi gave an order, and the tribesmen put two pieces of flint together and burst out sparks. The grass roll quickly burned and was then pushed into a crack in the ground.

Some of the fireballs rolled into the crowd, while others dispersed halfway.

These cannibals all entered their spiritual world and temporarily forgot about themselves and their belongings. Their long chants resounded through the seams, which seemed both sacred and terrifying.

As the fireball rolled down, Pan began to attack with his sling troops, and pebbles the size of his fist continued to fall like raindrops.

There are so many of these in the creek that they are worthless.

The dense rain of stones hit the crowd who were still worshiping. The slingers, this ancient unit of arms, produced a very good effect. As long as the person was hit by the pebbles, no matter where they hit the body, they would be hit.

It's a serious injury.

Some people looked up at the cracks in the ground. They clearly saw Xia Qi and others sitting on the cracks in the ground, and they also saw their companions who were smashed on the ground. But even so, they just glared at Xia Qi and others.

people, but they did not stop their sacrificial activities.

The eyes of the cannibals soon turned blood red, because the casualties of their companions became more and more serious, and those hateful people continued to blaspheme their gods.

"Awulu!!!"

The sacrifice finally ended. A man wearing a wolf skin mask roared. The cannibals who were originally lying on the ground bounced up from the ground like springs. Everyone ran with purpose. When they turned back again,

He has turned into a fully armed warrior.

They seemed fearless. Facing the cobblestones like raindrops, some climbed the stone wall and prepared to attack Xia Qi and the others directly. Others wanted to leave from the exit, preparing to outflank Xia Qi and the others.

.

But unfortunately, they met the bear and the white wolf who had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at the crowd running toward them, the bear did not retreat but rushed closer, rushing directly into the crowd of cannibals.
