When the sun goes down, there is a little firelight shining at a certain distance from the bamboo forest.
The people of the Bear Tribe who were full of harvests sat around here, and the water in several clay pots was bubbling. In them were bamboo shoots that had been skinned and cut into large pieces randomly with rough tools.
Some people who couldn't wait had already taken the peeled bamboo shoots and ate them raw, just like they did before they had clay pots.
The leader of the bear tribe did not eat it raw, but sat there patiently waiting for the water in the jar to boil.
Since the creation of clay pots, the leader of the Bear Tribe, like most tribes that own clay pots, has been accustomed to putting some things into the clay pots and boiling them.
While waiting for the bamboo shoots to be cooked, the leader of the bear tribe and some other people would occasionally take a look at the bamboo forest that was not too far away and was already a dark continuous forest.
There is a terrible animal in the bamboo forest. This animal is the black and white bear.
Compared with the grizzly bears that sometimes appear around the tribe, these black and white bears are not too violent and not too aggressive.
Of course, having said that, Monokuma is still an existence that they are not willing to mess with easily.
Because these black and white bears that are not too aggressive, when they really start to go crazy, are more terrifying than the grizzly bears that appear from time to time near the tribe.
Once upon a time, at this time, when the bear tribe people were digging bamboo shoots to eat, someone killed a black and white bear cub and prepared to roast it.
As a result, before the man could raise the fire, the big black and white bear was beaten to death on the ground with an unusually cruel attitude.
More than half of the head was eaten away.
Also implicated were two other members of the tribe.
From then on, the people of the Bear Tribe firmly remembered that black and white bears were not easy to mess with.
When digging for bamboo shoots to eat, try not to go too far into the bamboo forest.
When encountering a black and white bear, try to avoid it, especially when you encounter those chubby and clumsy black and white bear cubs, try to stay as far away as possible.
After all, these guys who look harmless to humans and animals are actually more lethal to people.
But this time it was different. The leader of the bear tribe came this time. In addition to leading people to dig bamboo shoots to eat, another more important purpose was to take the opportunity to catch a black and white bear cub and take it back.
Monokuma is indeed not easy to mess with, but when will the points be scored?
When food is plentiful, or when food is relatively easy to obtain, people in the bear tribe are naturally less willing to conflict with black and white bears.
Because doing so would outweigh the gains and losses, and instead of risking such a big risk to deal with the black and white bears, they might as well find other grass-eating prey to bully.
It's different now.
They are accustomed to eating salt, so in order to exchange for more salt, they are willing to take risks like this...
As the night gradually fell, the leader of the Xiong tribe, who had eaten boiled bamboo shoots that had lost a lot of flavor due to lack of salt, turned to look at the dark bamboo forest and shook his fist as the firelight flickered.
Then I started thinking about what to do if I encountered a black and white bear cub...
The sun shines down, illuminating the bamboo leaves somewhat translucently.
In the bamboo forest covered with a layer of dead bamboo leaves accumulated over the years, people from the Bear tribe were walking slowly forward on the bamboo leaves. From time to time, someone would squat down and use the digging tools in their hands to dig out some newly exposed bamboo leaves.
Here comes a pointed bamboo shoot.
Farther away, the leader of the bear tribe walking in front held a long weapon in his hand and kept pulling at the dead branches in front of him, making a clanging sound.
Accompanied by the sound of weapons sweeping across dead leaves, from time to time something would squirm and run quickly towards the distance.
Those are snakes living in the bamboo forest.
I have been digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest for a long time, and I don’t know which smart person discovered this characteristic of snakes, so the skill of alerting snakes appeared in the bear tribe and was passed down from generation to generation.
While walking slowly, the leader of the bear tribe and some other people kept looking around, expecting to see the black and white bears.
By now, the people from the Bear Tribe who came here have been divided into two parts.
Including the leader of the bear tribe, the seven fastest people were responsible for finding and capturing the cubs of the black and white bears. The other large group of people who were not as fast as them dug bamboo shoots on the periphery of the bamboo forest.
Moreover, in order to avoid disturbing the tribesmen who were digging bamboo shoots outside the bamboo forest during their escape after capturing the black and white bear cubs, the leader of the bear tribe took these people around the outside of the bamboo forest and walked far away.
After that, I started to get closer to the bamboo forest.
Death always makes people understand some truths, and these truths containing blood can often be remembered very clearly.
Take the current response strategy adopted by the leader of the bear tribe for example. If the tribe had not been attacked by black and white bears before, he would never have thought of such a safe way.
After another period of searching, he pulled some bamboos apart with his hands and looked up at the position of the sun. Although he was a little regretful, the leader of the bear tribe still spoke and led the people back.
Because they had to walk a long distance outside the bamboo forest before they could meet up with the tribesmen. If they didn't leave in advance, they wouldn't be able to get there before dark.
When I was about to walk out of the bamboo forest, there was a sudden noise on the slope on one side.
The leader of the bear tribe subconsciously looked up and saw a black and white fur ball rolling down the slope, crushing the dry bamboo leaves.
Before the leader of the bear tribe could react, the small ball had already rolled in front of him.
His plump body bounced on the ground twice, and he hugged the bear tribe leader's leg. He also stuck out his tongue and licked the bear tribe leader's leg.
Maybe I felt that the bamboo with the wrong color was salty and tasted better than the previous bamboos, so I couldn't help myself and took another lick.
“#¥%……”
The leader of the bear tribe was surprised and happy, no longer in a daze, bent down and hugged the guy who was about to take a third lick, shouted and turned around to run away.
Years of experience digging bamboo shoots in bamboo forests for eating has taught him that generally speaking, large black and white bears will not stray too far away from their smaller ones.
The rest of the group also followed their leader and ran away.
Not long after the leader of the bear tribe ran away, there was another noise on the slope, and a larger black and white ball rolled down.
This guy obviously didn't realize that his cub had been kidnapped. He rolled around twice before getting up awkwardly, looking around, and began to casually look for his troublesome cub...
