Chapter 8: The Catapult

 The hunting team set off again early in the morning. The difference is that the gathering team also followed today, but only half of it came.

    This half is responsible for collecting vines, and the other half is still responsible for collecting.

    Thanks to Chen Chao's new rattan basket yesterday, which freed both hands and manpower.

    After arriving in the woods yesterday, the members of the hunting team looked at each slate with rabbits pressed down, and their collective performance (⊙_⊙) was stunned~

    (((o(*?▽?*)o) )) (Cheering and jumping)

    ~

    Just to throw Chen Chao for ten consecutive times ~ ~ However, although the rabbits have caught a lot, the food for the whole tribe is still not enough for the winter. After helping the women gather vines on the spot, they continue to move towards Go deep.

    The women made up rattan baskets on the spot, and then took out the rabbits one by one from under the slate. Some of these rabbits have been crushed on the slate for a day and night, and they are dying of hunger. Some are out of luck. Yes, it's dead.

    Before Chen Chao left, he specially asked the women to collect more long grass today. Although the women didn’t know what he was going to do, Chen Chao had only been here in just two days and he had brought enough food to their tribe. A lot of fruit tools, as well as a holy flame that makes people feel warm.

    Now what Chen Chao said can convince them unconditionally without involving their lives or ethnic group.

    The leader Yuan walks in the front, Chen Chao is in charge of the back. There are only 10 real young men in the hunting team, and 8 half-and-a-half children. I don’t know if they are all the children of the other 9 people in the hunting team. Can't tell who is whose child and who is whose father.

    The young men spread out on both sides, enclosing the half-and-half children in the middle, in case there may be a beast attack at any time.

    A group of people marched all the way, Chen Chao holding some vines in his hand, and from time to time picking and choosing on the ground, the men standing on both sides of him were very curious.

    On Chen Chao's left was a short and honest man, called Da Zhuang, with incredible strength. Last time, he hit the wild boar's head with a stone.

    On the right side was a tall and thin young man who was very good at throwing a stick. Chen Chao had noticed that he had pierced the hind legs of a wild boar with a stick. The young man’s name was also easy to remember, with a single word.

    The two ahead are both physically disabled, one missing two fingers, and one blind.

    The one who lacked two fingers was called Li Nong. His fingers were frozen when he came out to look for food in the winter. Wudu said that he could not be saved. At that time, the people in the tribe had no hope of him. He just cut the two necrotic fingers with a stone knife, and it took a spring to get better in the summer.

    When Chen Chao knew about this, he sighed in his heart, "This is such a cruel person! 'The

    one who was blind in one eye was called Cyclops. He was a savage who joined later. He never told his name to anyone in the tribe. People in the tribe called him Cyclops.

    Of the remaining four young men, two were savages who joined later, but earlier than Cyclops, and the other two were the populations of the Tianyuan tribe in exchange with other tribes.

    The simple and honest Da Zhuang watched Chen Chao keep holding his hands, curiously gesturing and asking what is this going to do?

    Although Yi is also very curious, she feels very proud that what Chen Chao is holding is of no use. It’s too tiring to take two heavy stones along the way. It’s better to be like yourself and pick some on the way. When the appropriate wood arrives at the destination, the weapons are also collected.

    Chen Chao fixed two rocks on the two ends of the vine. He tried to wave it, and he was satisfied with the weight. When he met the prey, he could entangle the limbs of the prey by throwing it at a low angle, and he could smash the prey by seven. Meat and eight vegetarian.

    The long-range weapon skill get~~It's

    still the kind of lock skill~~

    Yi still feels arrogantly that Chen Chao is too tired. Although he has changed a little, he still feels that just two stones can do!

    But the simple and honest Dazhuang saw that this thing is good at a glance. He is a stone-throwing expert, so he gestured excitedly and asked, what is this?

    "Throw, stone, and cable." Chen Chao said with a pause.

    "Stone," Da Zhuang learned to pronounce monosyllables of stone.

    Chen Chao nodded approvingly, Da Zhuang gestured more excitedly, pointed at Chen Chao, then pointed at him, and finally pointed at himself, meaning, can you let me have a look?

    "Okay." After Chen Chao finished speaking, he handed the sling to Da Zhuang, with two vines left on his shoulders, and he could make two more slings.

    He discovered when weaving rattan baskets yesterday that this vine is very tough and malleable, and it is not easy to break, especially now it is autumn. The vines are already half-dry and are most suitable for weaving things.

    Just using it as a sling is still a bit far-fetched, I am afraid there is no such thing as a rope to last.

    Da Zhuang took the sling toss and watched over and over again and couldn't put it down. He grabbed the vine in the middle and held it high above his head, then turned the sling with one hand.

    After a while, he grabbed the other end of the sling, threw only one stone, and quickly recovered it when he reached the spot.

    'Yes, I have developed new usages by myself. 'Chen Chao muttered in his heart.

    The hunting team members look back from time to time to look at the big players who are swinging the sling, those who are good at sling and those who are a little more active, have figured out the benefits of this thing.

    So~~~

    By the way, I looked at Chen Chao eagerly. A few with eyesight had already picked up several suitable stones from the ground and sent them over.

    The group walked not far, and arrived at the place where the wild boar was hunted last time. This time there are no wild boars.

    Chen Chao laughed, it's time to take out my golden finger from Uncle Chen!

    The surrounding scenery changed quickly in his eyes. There were family-based wild boars with their cubs eating outside, and their long fangs were inserted into the mud from time to time to find something.

    There is also an animal that looks like a cat or a leopard, weighing about ten kilograms. Chen Chao guessed that it was an early lynx.

    Well, what is this stuff? Why is it squatting there? Are you incubating eggs?

    What is this big yellow-black bird? He has a long neck like an ostrich...

    Chen Chao issued a search command with pictures in his mind, and after a while, a piece of information appeared in his eyes.

    Giant moa.

    The height is 3-4 meters.

    Birds with no wings at all rely on strong thighs for movement.

    Without wings? Rely on thighs? After driving it up, throw it down with the newly acquired sling?

    By the time its legs will be entangled?

    Isn't it, good news? ~~~

    It's you!
