The Ba people have never reached the other side of the river.
As for the hunters who wander around hunting, as long as they go to a big river, they will inevitably look at the other side of the river, full of curiosity about that strange place, and always hope to reach the other side.
But the wide river is like a chasm, blocking their dream.
Until today, they finally got their wish.
They finally set foot on this strange land that they had been watching for generations.
This is a feeling of joy and conquest that I have never experienced before.
Watching several companions who had been together day and night cheering and jumping, somersaulting, running and rolling on the other side, a group of people on the pier were also excited and jumping and cheering. People on both sides just kept waving and shouting to each other, letting out the joy of success.
I thought this process would be very difficult, but I never thought it would be so easy.
At this time, the second raft was gradually approaching the shore, and the third raft here had also left the river bend and rushed into the rapids in the middle of the river.
With the first two rafts setting an example, the boatmen on the back rafts became more relaxed. They swept away their initial worries and tensions and started joking with each other.
Xu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although we have only passed two ships, it seems that there will be no problems.
Although the current in the middle of the river is relatively strong in autumn and winter, the rafts tied up are now stable enough and there is no danger.
Sure enough, as orders to cross the river continued to be issued, the remaining rafts left the river bend one by one, and then successfully passed through the rapids in the middle of the river one by one, reaching the other shore without any danger.
As more and more people arrived on the other side, when the last raft successfully docked, the warmest cheers rang out from both sides of the river. They waved and shouted to each other on the river beach a hundred meters apart, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
Although it is autumn and winter, there are always wild animals looking for food on the riverbanks on both sides.
Especially the river beach on the other side has never been set foot on by humans for tens of millions of years.
Therefore, when this group of savages cheered and shouted on the river beach, they also scared the wild beasts looking for food on the river beach and fled in all directions.
Humans have never set foot in this strange wilderness.
But many of the wild beasts living here were driven here from the opposite side.
Many beasts have lingering fears about the power of Twolegs.
Of course, there are many animals like silly roe deer among them, which are not aware of the danger at all, and are even indifferent to the arrival of humans. While watching curiously, they still flick their tails and eat grass leisurely.
The river beach is so big and there are so many grasses that we can’t finish the food. It would be happier if we all eat together.
"Quack, quack, quack..."
What the silly roe deer don't know is that these two-legged beasts don't eat grass at all.
After a burst of cheering and excitement, some people began to take down bows, arrows, spears and other weapons from the raft, and looked at the wild beasts grazing leisurely around them, all smiling from ear to ear.
After hunting for so many years, the beasts on the other side of the river are all as skilled as monkeys, and they all rely on speed and strength to defeat them.
But the river beach here is really nice. There are so many wild beasts that are too stupid to climb up. If I don’t kill seventeen or eight of them that day, I will be embarrassed to go home.
So a group of hunters who successfully crossed the river were happy to see that they were hunting, and started their first hunting operation after landing on the other side.
Xu Chen was a little helpless.
Cooperate with crossing the river, land on the other side, familiarize yourself with the environment, find a safe area suitable for stopping, and then return.
This is the content of the river crossing exercise.
But things seem to have changed now.
However, this does not affect the results of this exercise. At least the other side does not seem to be dangerous, and there are more wild animals. It is a very suitable place for hunting.
"Wow, a dead deer!"
"Wow, the sheep is dead!"
"Sheep are so stupid, they don't even run away!"
A group of hunters on the opposite side started hunting on the river beach. With the discipline and cooperation after long training, the results were astonishing. In just twenty minutes, they had killed seven or eight beasts. And as the hunting range expanded, the results continued.
is constantly expanding.
As an officer of the tribe, Feng did not participate in the river-crossing performance. Instead, Mo served as the drill troop commander. Under his leadership, the results of this river-crossing hunt seemed to be very fruitful.
Watching a group of guys on the other side killing prey continuously, Feng and other hunters also began to feel sad.
Of course, while eating, he was also constantly gnashing his teeth and complaining. Many seemingly good attack opportunities were ignored and missed.
In fact, what they don't know is that the large number of wild beasts on the opposite side have never had contact with humans, so they have not yet formed a fear of humans. Even if they are under human attack, they will run for a while in fear and then stop to eat grass and wait and see.
They completely regard humans as ferocious beasts, thinking that after successfully hunting one companion, they will give up and continue attacking others of the same kind.
But obviously human greed is something they cannot adapt to and understand.
Even while waiting and watching, the range of human attacks and hunting in the Warring States period also expanded rapidly. In just half an hour, more than ten beasts were killed.
The more the hunters kill, the more energetic they become.
I have been a hunter for many years, but it has never been so easy as this time. It is almost like picking up meat.
But after all, this is not the traditional territory of mankind.
A large group of hunters went wild to expand their results, which finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the local rulers.
"Ouch~~~"
In the distance, near the woods at the foot of the mountain, the roar of wild wolves was heard.
"Ouch~"
"Ouch~"
For several miles up and down the river beach, wild wolves howled one after another almost simultaneously.
Dozens of wild wolves slowly began to appear from the woods and thorny weeds at the foot of the mountain, heading towards the area where a group of hunters were hunting.
"Horn, retreat!"
Xu Chen issued the order.
"Woo~~Woo~~"
Gu blew the horn of retreat.
Ju Ye waved the command flag, and the king flag and dragon flag also began to wave left and right.
The hunters on the opposite side also knew that the wild wolves were approaching. When they heard the sound of the horn and looked back to see the waving flags and the retreat flags, Mo, who was leading the team, yelled to retreat, and the hunters quickly carried the trophies to the river and docked.
Raft position assembly.
But after the assembly was completed, everyone discovered a problem.
There were too many hunts, and more than a dozen large and small beasts completely exceeded the carrying capacity of the raft, and it was impossible to transport them all back to the other side at once.
But if you throw it on the shore, it will definitely be eaten by wild wolves.
After a fierce argument, a group of people finally came up with an idea. A few good swimmers grabbed the rafts and waded across the river, while more than a dozen beasts were scattered on several rafts and tied up with ropes.
After a lot of work, all the weapons and beasts were tied up, and a pack of dozens of huge wild wolves slowly approached the river beach. The howls of the wolves came one after another, which was spectacular and terrifying.
Such a large group of wild wolves is very rare. The Ba people have never appeared on this riverbank. The largest group of wild wolves was the group of wild wolves that originally occupied the river mouth, but there were only more than ten of them.
As for this group of wild wolves, judging by their sounds alone, there are at least forty of them. According to the level and hunting habits of the wolves, there will be a group of stronger core male wolves hiding around, and the most ferocious alpha wolf.
, basically never show up.
At this time, not only were the group of hunters in Mowai a little frightened, but Xu Chen and all the hunters and prisoners on the other side couldn't help but sweat.
I had known for a long time that there were wolves on the opposite side, but I didn't expect it to be on such a huge scale.
If a human-wolf war breaks out, there will be a lot of casualties on both sides. The main reason is that all the hunters in the river crossing exercise only carry the most basic self-defense weapons. There are no leather armor, vine armor, shields, short spears, not many arrows, and even many people
They didn't even have any clothes on, and after a hunt, their weapons were damaged a lot, and many people even had their spears broken, so they couldn't form effective protection or attack at all.
Although it is more dangerous to wade across the river, it is even more dangerous to leave some people to defend on the spot.
Soon, six rafts were launched into the water one after another and began to paddle toward the center of the river. Seven or eight hunters grabbed the sides of the raft and pushed it forward through the water.
Xu Chen and others could clearly see the situation on the other side. Although they were worried and nervous, they also knew that this was the best way.
Of course, giving up the prey is also a good choice, but for these primitive savages, the current situation has not yet reached the point of giving up the prey.
The wild wolves did not intend to launch a large-scale attack, they just wanted to drive them away.
For the wild wolves, humans are outsiders, and this riverbank is their long-term survival territory. If humans are unwilling to retreat, a war between the two groups will definitely break out.
At the moment, it seems that this group of human beings are quite sensible and have all escaped.
"Ouch~~~"
"Ouch~"
Watching a group of people escaping across the river in a hurry, the surrounding wolves howled excitedly and manically, with a strong atmosphere of demonstration.
"How many dogs and wolves are there, we will kill them!"
On the rafts that had passed through the rapids in the middle of the river, a large number of hunters turned back and glared at the howling wolves on the river bank behind them. Mo even waved his fists and roared loudly.
"Slay!"
On the raft, the hunters rowing their boats held their oars high and shouted along.
The out-of-control rafts swayed violently with the river. Amidst the roar of ghosts and wolves, one raft finally capsized during the swing, and the people on the raft fell into the water.
Fortunately, everyone was tied to the raft by safety ropes and was not washed away.
Just as a large group of people were splashing back and forth in the water, pushing the rafts with the current and slowly floating downstream to the shore, Xu Chen also led a group of people on horseback and headed straight downstream.
Due to the harassment of wolves, there were some problems in the river crossing exercise. The process of returning seemed very chaotic, and many people fell into the water. However, several rafts passed through the most dangerous middle of the river one after another, and it didn't seem to be anything.
It's dangerous, but the shore area will definitely be farther downstream, at least a mile away.
