Chapter 42: Great Harvest
After disposing of all the dead sheep and roasting them, Xia Qi got into the bedding, preparing to recharge his batteries and continue hunting the next day.
However, the hunters who have been waiting in the dark for a long time will not give him this opportunity.
"Ouch~"
During the night shift, waves of wolf howls came from all directions, and the originally peaceful sheep began to become commotion, and Xia Qi also got out of the bedding.
"Formation——"
At this time, the benefits of long-term training were revealed. Upon hearing the order, the soldiers responded quickly and formed a circular formation.
The ax shield bearer was outside, and the archer was inside. The bear was holding a newly made double copper axe, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
The howl of the wolf is getting closer and closer, and the green eyes almost occupy the main grassland.
These wolves were very smart. They surrounded Xia Qi on three sides, but still left a gap for them to retreat. Their target was not them from the beginning.
However, Xia Qi was also unwilling to give up the sheep he had obtained to these wolves, so this battle was inevitable.
"Ouch~"
Seeing that Xia Qi's side refused to retreat, the Wolf King gradually lost his patience and sent out the signal to attack.
The wolves began to approach Xia Qi and the others, and gradually, these wolves were also exposed.
What can I say about these wolves? Not to mention the size of dire wolves, they were far inferior to the wolves they first encountered. At best, they were bigger than the three wolves in the tribe.
Seeing this, the soldiers couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and the bear's face was full of disdain.
"I thought it was something, wasn't it just a bunch of wolf cubs?"
Xia Qi also relaxed a lot. After facing a pack of dire wolves, these wolves are really not enough to watch. Maybe their IQs will be better, but compared with humans who stand at the peak of IQs, they can only be said to be
Dance with sword in front of Guan Gong's gate.
Not only do they not appear smart, they also look very funny.
Then, the wolves launched an attack.
The goal of the wolf pack was very clear from the beginning, which was the sheep.
Therefore, the wolves were divided into two, with a small group responsible for containing Xia Qi and the others, while the rest all rushed towards the wolves.
Suddenly, the scene became chaotic, with the sounds of wolves howling and sheep bleating mixed together.
"Archers, obey my orders and shoot!"
The archer who had already taken out his arrows heard the order, immediately pulled the bow string, and rained arrows towards the wolves.
Whizzing...
The arrows rained down like locusts, and a large group of wolves blocking the crowd immediately fell down. Seeing this, the remaining wolves rushed directly towards the Xia tribe.
Xia Qi also stood on the outside of the circle. As the leader of the clan, he would never allow him to watch the soldiers fight bloody battles while he hid in a safe place and stayed away.
"kill!"
Seeing that the wolves were approaching, Xia Qi immediately raised his spear to stab, and activated the morale boosting skill at the same time.
Suddenly, the soldiers who were still a little nervous felt their bodies warm up, and their tension disappeared instantly.
Long-term training has allowed them to develop muscle memory. When faced with the hungry wolf that was about to bite, they first raised the shield in their hands to stagger it, and then took the opportunity to swing the stone ax in their right hand and slashed towards its neck.
The clan leader taught them something long ago, so the warriors would not confront anyone head-on.
Click!
The stone ax successfully chopped into the hungry wolf

Hot blood suddenly spurted out from his neck, and the hungry wolf didn't even howl. He fell to the ground and only twitched a few times before making no movement.
The soldier twitched the stone ax, ignored the wolf, and swung the ax again to chop at the other wolf.
Click!
"Ouch!"
This time, the stone ax did not cut down the hungry wolf's neck, but only cut off one of its legs. But at this time, it was too late to kill him. A wolf regarded him as a target and pounced on him.
The wolf with a broken leg had already been inspired by the wild nature in his heart. Instead of retreating, it even tried to bite the soldier.
At this critical moment, a stone spear shot out diagonally and hit the wolf's neck.
"Chief!" the warrior shouted with gratitude.
In fact, he also noticed the wild wolf's attack, but he was dealing with other hungry wolves at the time and could not escape. He was already prepared to be injured, but he did not expect that the clan leader actually saved him.
"Don't be distracted!"
Xia Qi said something in a deep voice and continued to engage in the battle. From time to time, he would help other soldiers who were in crisis.
This circle formation was modified by Xia Qi based on a very famous fighting method of Blue Star in his previous life. It is very suitable for winning with less to win more.
After forming a circular formation, the warriors on the periphery can not only defend themselves against the enemy, but also help their comrades who are in trouble. The archers inside the circular formation can shoot as much as they want until the periphery is breached.
After a while, the wolves responsible for containing them had all been eliminated.
But the situation on the sheep side was very tragic. There were originally more than 500 sheep, but now more than 100 had been killed by the wolves.
"go ahead--"
"Ouch——"
When the wolf king hiding in the dark saw this, he immediately formed another group of wolves and once again blocked the path of Xia Qi and others.
However, this time the number of wolves was slightly larger than last time, and the outcome was still the same as before, with the entire army annihilated.
At this time, nearly one-third of the wolf pack had been lost, and upon seeing this, the wolf king also felt a desire to retreat.
As the signal from the Wolf King to retreat was given, the wolves began to retreat one after another.
This time the wolves not only returned without success, but also left behind more than a hundred corpses.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Xia Qi had no choice but to deal with them first and then put them together.
The wounded wolf that was not fully dead was given a stab wound, and the severely injured sheep was similarly stabbed.
It dawned very early on the grassland, and a touch of white fish belly appeared on the far horizon. The group of people didn't even want to rest, and just roasted the sheep on the spot.
Xia Qi chose a lamb because the mutton smell on the lamb would be much smaller.
When he was on Blue Star, he had heard someone say that there was a group of sheep that grew up eating shallots and wild leeks. Not only did the sheep that grew up like this not smell bad, but they also had a smell of onions.
taste.
In other words, marinating yourself in the flavor.
Xia Qixin asked, why didn't she meet such a director's sheep?
After eating the roast mutton, a group of people left the place. After they left, the animals that had been waiting in the dark rushed forward, fighting for their abandoned limbs and internal organs.
Among them are other wolves, large scavenging birds, and many top hunters like brown bears.
Just as these animals were feasting, they did not expect that Xia Qi and his party, who had already left, would now be lying in ambush on a hillside not far away, where he was approaching.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's just a trap set at the time.
"Fire the arrow——"
Seeing that a large number of animals had gathered in the trap, Xia Qi immediately ordered to shoot arrows.
The densely packed arrow feathers shot into the group of animals, and immediately released a large number of animals. Before they could react, a bunch of arrow feathers were shot out, and as another group of animals came to the end, they were startled and thought of running away.
Looking at the chaotic scene below, Xia Qi remained calm and did not order the soldiers to harvest. He just let the archers shoot arrows again and again.
In the end, only a small part escaped, and most of the beasts stayed here, including the brown bear.
At this time, the brown bear was not completely dead. It lay on the ground and kept making wailing sounds. It looked like a hedgehog with its body covered with arrows.
Only then did Xia Qicai lead his men to harvest, finishing off all the beasts that were still alive.
Their current harvest alone is enough to feed the entire tribe for nearly a month.
The warriors of the tribe looked at Xia Qi with admiration. You must know that they had received so much food in less than two days after coming to this world.
The bear walked up to the brown bear, lowered his head and looked at it silently.
This brown bear is nearly three meters long, with a shoulder height of about 1.7 meters, and has thick fur. The fatal injury was an arrow shot into its eye socket.
The brown bear lay on the ground. Seeing that there was less air coming out and more air coming in, the bear immediately raised his ax to kill him.
"Roar!"
The brown bear may have felt that it was about to die, so it ran wild and slapped the bear with its front paws. Seeing this, the bear quickly bent down to avoid it, but before it could react, it was still hit.
"Bear!"
When Xia Qi saw this, he was shocked and wanted to run towards the bear.
boom!
This time it came from the brown bear. The bear was holding a copper tomahawk with blood stains on the ax blade. It turned out that when the bear avoided the blow, the tomahawk in his hand directly hit the brown bear's retreat.
Before attacking the bear, it was already at the end of its attack. At this moment, the brown bear was lying on the ground unable to get up.
The bear looked at the brown bear in front of him, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he threw the tomahawk in his hand to the ground, clenched his fists, and hit the brown bear on the head several times.
The brown bear lying on the ground had lost the ability to resist. After being hit on the head several times by the bear, it immediately lay on the ground and died.
"Xiong, are you okay?" Xia Qi stepped forward and asked.
Xiong shook his head and said, "It's just a little scratch on my shoulder."
Xiong lowered his body and showed the wound to Xia Qi.
It's true as Xiong said, it's just a little scratched, it's not a big problem.
Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Whether it was selfishly or for the sake of the tribe, he didn't want anything to happen to the bear.
Xiong was his only support when he first came to this tribe. It can be said that the reason why the Xia tribe has grown to this stage today is largely due to Xiong. Moreover, Xiong is currently the only member of the entire tribe who has grown into a five-star.
"It's okay, just apply some powder."
Medicinal powder is made from the drugs found during this period, dried and ground, and has a very good hemostatic effect.
