This primitive hunting activity is nothing but exciting.
No matter how good you are at hunting, you still have to go hungry.
If humans want to completely get rid of this state of starvation, farming and animal husbandry is the best choice.
This vast riverbank did not seem to him to be a hunting ground, but a geomantic treasure land that was extremely suitable for building a city.
The southeast is open, with mountains to the west, rivers to the east, the Tongba tribe to the north, and a wider area to the south. If a city is built here and all six tribes are brought together, this large river beach is enough to open up tens of thousands of acres.
The grain fields, coupled with the aquatic products of large rivers and small rivers, are enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
However, although this idea excited him, the reality was that the total number of the six tribes was estimated to be less than a thousand.
It is only the size of a larger village and does not have enough manpower, so there is no need to even think about building a city.
But if you build a village without walls in such a situation with unobstructed views all around, it will be more dangerous than living in a cave in a valley.
People, people, people are lacking.
There is a shortage of aunt at home, and there is a shortage of everything outside.
However, Xu Chen did not completely give up the idea.
Based on the exchanges with several other tribes when setting up stalls last night, he already knew something about the situation nearby. In fact, in addition to the Uzbek tribe and the six nearby tribes, there are also other tribes a little further away, but because of the different ethnic groups
, so there was very little contact. We met occasionally while hunting, and there was very little communication.
Various conditions such as distance, language, race, etc. have resulted in this kind of contact and communication being almost cut off.
It's not that I don't want to, but it's not necessary.
Without mutual understanding, contact will not only bring no benefits, but will also bring great dangers. If the tribe's location is exposed, they may be attacked.
Monkeys and wolves all compete for territory, let alone humans.
Therefore, most primitive tribes are in an extremely closed state and survive independently.
Even though the Ba and Uu people are considered the same tribe and are only a few dozen miles apart, they basically don't interact with each other on weekdays. Since there is no need for communication, they naturally don't have much initiative.
This process lasted until the Yan and Huang dynasties in Chinese history, when men began to take over the dominant position, and the population multiplied and expanded to the point where they had to compete with each other for a larger living space. Only then did large-scale wars begin. As ethnic interactions became closer,
Business began to prosper, and the barriers and barriers between different races were gradually broken down. The great integration of culture, language and race made the rapid rise of human beings possess the characteristics of civilization. Large-scale tribal alliances appeared, classes began to emerge, and the embryonic form of political power emerged.
, and this situation lasted for thousands of years before the concept of a country began to appear.
Therefore, the conditions for building a city and surviving on the plains are not currently met.
Xu Chen could only think about it for the time being.
What's more, this land belongs to the Uzbek tribe.
Even if he wanted to, the Uzbek tribe would not agree, and the only way was to annex the Uzbek tribe.
But according to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, it can be said that it is almost like putting an egg against a stone. The Ba people have no chance of winning.
Nearly two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The sun is close to noon.
Most of the animals on the river beach have fled due to the hunting activities, leaving only a large number of fluttering wild birds, and then some small animals such as deer and wild sheep.
Even the roars of wild beasts that could be heard everywhere at first gradually died down.
Several tribal leaders such as Wu and Muba have been sitting under a big tree to communicate. Most of the savages began to lie on the ground and sleep out of boredom. Some young people climbed up to the big trees or rocks to look at the hunting situation in the distance.
"Guiga!"
Suddenly, an excited voice came from the top of the big tree, and all the waiting men, women, and children stood up and looked around as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, I saw a group of hunters carrying prey walking along the river towards the valley.
After a long time, this group of people finally came forward.
This is a group of hunters from the Hu tribe. There are more than ten people carrying a wild deer. Several huge wounds on their bodies are still bleeding. Several of them are also covered in blood. Although they are all sweating from exhaustion
They were dripping wet, but they still looked very excited.
"Plop~"
The wild deer was thrown on the grass amidst cheers, and some Uzbek children jumped on it and lay on the wound and began to suck blood.
The chief of the Hu tribe was very happy and came forward to praise his tribesmen.
This is an adult wild deer, very large, with splayed antlers, and weighs no less than two hundred kilograms. It is definitely a huge prey.
The faces of the other tribes were a little unhappy, especially the men from the Uzbek tribe, who seemed very unconvinced and spoke with a sense of ridicule.
Xu Chen didn't quite understand and didn't bother to participate in such a fearless debate, but he was very interested in the antlers.
Deer antlers are a very good traditional Chinese medicine, containing a large amount of amino acids, which have the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, warming and replenishing kidney yang. In addition, these old horns are sharp and strong, and they are also very good when used as decorations or hooks.
Xu Chen didn't know much about the rules of the hunting competition, so he communicated with several tribesmen and learned that these preys were harvested by each tribe. The meat was usually shared with each tribe as dinner, and useful things like animal skins and bone horns were
It can be traded or taken back.
So Xu Chen entrusted Mu Ba to communicate with the leader of the Hu tribe, and exchanged a pottery pot and a pottery bowl for this huge pair of antlers. Both parties were very happy.
Although antlers are considered precious to primitive people, their commemorative significance is greater than their actual significance. Moreover, Yaya Chacha is large and heavy. It is estimated that even if Xu Chen doesn't ask for it, they will most likely exchange it for items and take them back.
Xu Chen was naturally very happy when he got the answer he wanted.
This is almost like picking up a treasure.
This set of antlers weighs at least ten kilograms, but Weiwei regrets that the antlers are too old. It would be better if they were deer antlers.
Not long after the Hu tribe came back, more than ten people from another tribe named Ji also came back carrying prey.
This group of people also had a good harvest. They killed a half-large calf, weighing hundreds of pounds, and two wild sheep, which was slightly more than the Hu people's harvest.
According to the rules of the hunting competition, it is limited to noon, which means that the hunting competition ends when the sun reaches its highest point. If the harvest is not returned before noon, the game will be judged as failed and the qualification to receive the blessing of the great witch will be lost.
.
Therefore, as the sun gradually rose towards noon, the remaining three tribes also returned one after another.
The Uzbek tribe came back for the third time. Because they had more people, they had the most harvest. They had an adult bison, two deer, and a thing that Xu Chen didn't recognize at all. It was nearly two meters long including head and tail. It looked like a dog's body.
Like a lizard, but with pointed ears, long tail, fangs, green markings all over its body, and its claws are as curved and sharp as an eagle's claws, just like a Stitch Monster.
What the hell is this?
Xu Chen was stunned, and all the savages swarmed around to watch. Guguquaga kept screaming and exclaiming in various ways. However, when the Wu people dropped the prey on the ground and found that it was still breathing,
In an instant, the crowd retreated in fear like an explosion.
A group of tired and sweaty Uzbek people were very proud. One of them, a strong hunter with scars all over his body and bleeding, stepped forward and stepped on the neck of the beast, then pulled out a wolf bone dagger and stabbed it hard.
On the neck of the beast.
A stream of blood spurted out from the end of the dagger, splashing into a large area around it.
Seeing the beast's body twitching slightly and finally dying, the crowd who retreated collectively cheered excitedly.
Judging from the performance of this group of savages, this beast is extraordinary.
It must be a very terrifying beast.
But Xu Chen was convinced that he had never seen such a strange animal.
According to the current living environment, it should be on the earth, but later generations have never seen any records, which can only mean that this thing became extinct later.
As for the cause of extinction, it may be related to the great flood.
Of course, if this is not on earth, that would be another story.
Three months later, the moon, sun, and stars looked similar to those on Earth, but he didn't recognize most of the animals and plants.
It’s just that this thing looks really weird.
"What is this?"
Xu Chen asked Gu Heju next to him in a low voice.
The two teenagers shook their heads, they had never seen it before.
"Longga!" A man from the Ba tribe next to him explained excitedly.
"Dragon?" Xu Chen was a little dazed.
"Longga!" Several men from other tribes nearby also nodded.
The Uzbek hunter who just killed this strange thing grabbed the monster with both hands and raised it above his head. The blood poured on his face. He swallowed the blood, and then roared: "Dragon~ga~"
"Longga~Longga~Longga~"
The onlookers all roared excitedly.
What the hell is this a dragon?
Could it be that I have some misunderstanding about dragons?
Or maybe these dogs have some misunderstandings about dragons that primitive people have.
Although it is said that there is no dragon in the world, but a mythical beast invented by the Chinese ancestors, the dragon in Xu Chen's impression is definitely not like this, but a being that flies into the sky, escapes from the earth, travels on the clouds and spreads rain, with divine power and domineering power that surpasses all beasts.
How can it be equated with the suture monster in front of me?
So he was unwilling to admit that this thing was killed by a dragon.
The only thing he could accept was that there was something wrong with the language of these savages.
But no matter what, the pronunciation of this suture monster is dragon, and it is impossible for him to erase it.
Looking at this thing's terrifying fangs and sharp claws, we also know that this beast is very powerful in combat.
Because although the Uzbek people who came back had a huge harvest, they were also in a very embarrassed state. More than ten people had scratches of various sizes on their bodies, especially the guy who killed the dragon in the end. His fur was torn and it seemed like there were wounds all over his body.
, coupled with the blood dripping all over the body, it looks even more terrifying like a blood gourd.
If this kind of injury is not treated quickly, I am afraid that I will die due to excessive blood loss and death from the injury.
