Chapter 31: The Wolves Retreat Temporarily

 While the wolves did not initiate the third wave of charge, Chen Chao turned his head and gestured to the members of the hunting team and said, "Divided into two groups, the first group throws the sling, the back throws the spear, and after throwing the sling,

    Throw the spear.” The sling prince Da Zhuang took a group of people to stand in front of the team. In front of them were piles of isosceles-high slings, and the little prince of the javelin stood behind with a group of people, and the spears were all returned. In their hands.

    The wolves that had eaten the corpses of their companions looked at the blazing bonfire in front of the cave. The hunger made them irresistible. I don’t know why. Recently, the prey in Tianyuan Mountain has decreased a lot. Either they are hidden or they are. The existence that simply can't provoke.

    They turned over from the other side of the mountain, exhausted their stamina, and could not get replenishment for a long time. Moreover, the smell behind the hot thing was too attractive, mixed with the scent of various meats, making them even afraid of the fire , Not willing to leave easily before being beaten.

    "Wow~~" The wolf screamed at the moon, the cold light of the fangs was chilling, and the short hair on the lips was still red with flesh and blood.

    Seeing the wolves launch the third charge, Chen Chao gave an order, "Throw the sling!" The

    sling slammed on the wolves, making a "bang, bang" sound. Although the sling was not sharp, it was difficult to cause it. A fatal effect, but his coverage is great!

    While the wolves were smashed and turned around, "swish swish," flew out a dozen spears from behind the sling team.

    Kill you while you are sick!

    Obviously more wolves were left this time, even some wolves limped when they retreated, and they should have been hit by the first wave of slings.

    There was a burst of cheers from the entire hunting team, and joy spread from outside the cave to inside the cave, and Chen Chao also brought a hint of joy on his face.

    But the joy of victory did not last long. He counted and found that there were more than sixty wolves. It seemed that the wolves were suffering heavy casualties on the surface, but in fact they did not hurt their muscles or bones.

    Looking up at the sky, the moon is still hanging high, and it is still early before dawn. It seems that it is about to watch the night.

    Thinking of this, he asked in a deep voice, "Yuan, how much wood is still in the cave."

    Yuan thought for a while, and said with a gesture, "It's not much."

    Chen Chao's heart was tight again, the amount of wood burned recently The big stone axe was only made today. The wood picked up every day is not enough. There are more ghosts.

    In the middle of the night, the hunting team members were tired and sleepy, but still did not dare to relax, for fear that the wolves would charge again and could not dodge, and they would be bitten through their stomachs.

    The wood is about to burn. Chen Chao knows that the wolves are waiting. They are waiting for the hunting team when they are the hardest. The first three charges caused them to suffer.

    Isn't it a boil on my own side? They will retreat when the day breaks, and they can burn until dawn when they boil the bonfire.

    At this moment, Chen Chao understood that sentence deeply, building a wall high and accumulating food!

    It was finally dawn, and the members of the hunting team stayed all night. It was already the most sleepy time.

    Yuan added some wood to the bonfire, and the "cracking" sound of the fire awakened some sleepy team members.

    At this moment, the wolves charged once again. Chen Chao's expression condensed, and he shouted, "Throw the slings!"

    Although the wolves were hurt and stunned this time, they had no intention of retreating. , The one in front was stunned, the wolves behind stepped on the body of the wolves in front, wanting to jump up and jump over the fire.

    "Throw a spear!" At the moment of crisis, Chen Chao took the lead in throwing the spear in his hand and pierced a wolf that was about to jump over the fire.

    Some people with spears in the back also wanted to follow suit. "Puff" before dawn, there was a sound of spears entering the flesh.

    It finally dawned, and the last piece of wood in the cave burned out. Then the sky light, they realized that this was a group of black wolves, watching the wolves retreat. The hunting team that had been guarding at the entrance of the cave was all tired and paralyzed on the ground. The high-intensity mental tension and physical exhaustion made them feel that they could not afford a little strength after the danger subsided.

    The people in the cave didn't sleep, and even many timid children shed tears, causing the mother who held them to cry for a long time.

    Old people have to be much more calm. At first they were protected inside like children, but then they stood in front of women and children. Because they feel that they have lived for so long and lived a good life for a few days before dying. They don’t lose anything, but the children are still young, and when they grow up, they can help the tribe hunt and kill many wolves. Revenge yourself, so if you want to die, these old men die first.

    Chen Chao is also very tired, but he can't rest yet. The wolves are only temporarily retreating and will definitely come at night, and he has a crazy idea.

    That is to do a big vote. If all the wolves win, the whole winter of the tribe will have its skin, meat, and danger!

    Otherwise, if you run away more than a dozen at the time, it will be no good to attack the hunting team or the gathering team at all times. It is really a trouble to attack the tribe while they are out.

    Without Chen Chao's urging, the hunting team members who had been sitting on the ground for a rest consciously stood up, because they also knew that it was not time to rest.

    The Stone Axe team took the axe to cut trees nearby, but they did not dare to go far. The old people started to go to the river to fish with rattan baskets. In addition to recovering weapons and wolf corpses, the gathering team had to collect more wood, vines, and stones to make weapons tonight. The whole tribe knew in their hearts. All things today are just for the defense of the wolves at night.

    The others obeyed Chen Chao's instructions and began to dig a long ditch in front of the cave entrance.

    Although the members of the excavation team didn't understand it, they didn't say anything when they watched their leader Yuan start digging.

    Yuan remembered what Chen Chao had said to him just now, and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart. The wooden sticks under his hand fluttered, plucking the soil faster.

    He still feels very adventurous, but when he thinks that this ticket is done, the leather will definitely be enough for all the people in the tribe to spend the winter this year, and they can even live the life of two leathers per person!

    This is something he has never thought about. He has thought about the most beautiful and beautiful scenes. It's just that everyone in the tribe has a skin!

    And Chen Chao's plan is very feasible! I remembered how he taught the hunting team how to catch moa and how to catch lynx. Since he came, the hunting team has never suffered any casualties!

    Chen Chao left a stone axe, ready to start making simple wooden shovel for the excavation team.

    The arc is impossible to have an arc, that is, cut the round wood into slices, and then use charcoal to boil an arc in the middle to facilitate the insertion of another long wooden stick.
