Chapter 29 New Stage
The importance of the map is undoubted. It not only facilitates them to record, but also facilitates them to locate their location.
Following the idea in his mind, animal skins and branches are basically ready-made. As for the plant slurry used to replace ink dye, it is also available in the black forest. At this time, he has already asked people to pick it back. .
"Da Shan, come here."
Taking advantage of the time before dinner, he called Da Shan over.
"Tomorrow morning, you no longer need to be responsible for collecting supplies in the dark forest. I plan to arrange for you to carry out an exploration mission."
"Yes!"
As for Dashan's straightforwardness, Zhou Xu did not Too many surprises.
In fact, as the strongest individual combat power of their tribe, it is undoubtedly a waste to keep him collecting supplies in the dark forest.
He didn't have a choice before, but now he has a choice, and Zhou Xu is more inclined to give Dashan more training opportunities.
"Now I will teach you how to draw a map first."
"Map?"
Obviously, Dashan and the others do not have the concept of a map.
"You take a good look."
While speaking, Zhou Xu had already spread out the map, then picked up a stone and smashed all the plants he picked. I pounded it and explained it at the same time...
"The sap of these plants is colored. I want to use it as a dye. Pound it like this and it's almost ready."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu picked up the branch that had also been prepared.
“Dip the tip of this branch and draw it on the animal skin.”
As Zhou Xu spoke, he drew a triangle in the center of the animal skin. It's just that the branch pen and plant dye are not smooth to use, and it took him a lot of effort to make a few simple strokes.
Looking at the three triangles stacked together, he drew a small circle on the outside to circle the three triangles.
"This is our tribe camp, and this side is the salt lake..."
Zhou Xu said and drew a circle next to the tribe, and added a few wavy lines in it, which means lake water.
“This side is the black forest.”
While drawing these marks, he was also telling Dashan what these marks represented.
After simply drawing the surrounding terrain, he drew a cross arrow in the upper left corner of the map, and based on the premise that the sun rose in the east and set in the west, he marked the directions of southeast, northwest, and these Explain everything to Dashan one by one.
These things are actually not complicated. As long as you have a normal brain, it is not difficult to remember them.
It turns out that Dashan learned quickly.
"Very good, Dashan, you can choose two people from the original collection team to form a trio with you and carry out the exploration mission together."
As Zhou Xu said, On the other hand, he handed the already drawn animal skin map to Dashan's hand, implying that he had entrusted this task to the other party.
Then his eyes fell on the flying bird on the side...
"Feiqiao, I have to transfer the five people who were previously transferred from the gathering team. The remaining people in the hunting team will still be led by you, but starting from tomorrow, the hunting area will be completely expanded to an entire black forest. It’s up to you to confirm the perimeter and specific deployment location.”
The hunting team’s activity range is still on the perimeter, which is undoubtedly the result of his careful consideration.
This dark forest is not as big as he initially expected. Under this premise, it is enough to have the spider web in the center area to serve as their hunting trap.
In the past, the big spider was unable to wait for its prey to come to its door because it had no bait. In the past, it relied on its unique skill of "waiting to death" to hunt, and it mainly relied on the prey's stupidity.
Thanks to the fact that it was the only predator in this area in the past, otherwise it would never be alive now.
This is also the main reason why the difficulty of hunting for large spiders has skyrocketed since they arrived. Now, they have taken over the hunting spider webs in the mine. As long as they place some bait to attract prey, the spider webs will probably work better than their basket traps.
As for the hunting team, although the number of people has decreased, their hunting area has become larger.
In other words, the 'competition' pressure between each trap has become smaller. Under normal circumstances, they should be able to catch more prey.
After arranging new tasks for Dashan’s exploration team and Feique’s predator team, Zhou Xu set his sights on the remaining seven people.
The main task of these seven people is still to collect resources, but the difference from before is...
"The three of you will continue to be responsible for collecting materials in this dark forest. As for the four of you, you will be responsible for going to the mine. Mining coal in the cave.”
With this personnel adjustment, their Salt Lake tribe has officially entered a new stage.
Early in the morning the next day, the three-person exploration team headed by Dashan officially set off.
Similar exploration missions were actually done by Dashan before the former leader died, and they are not unfamiliar now.
As a result, they had just reached the outskirts of the dark forest. With the vision bonus Zhou Xu had given them, it was obvious that they had discovered something, and they hurriedly warned...
"Hide quickly!"
With such a low shout, the other two people reacted quickly and immediately hid behind the main trunk of a nearby black tree.
At this moment, Dashan leaned against the main trunk of the black tree, cautiously sticking out half of his head, and his eyes drifted outside.
Soon, two figures wrapped in animal skins came into their sight.
"They are people from other tribes."
The other two team members also discovered the other party's presence, and their expressions became obviously cloudy and uncertain.
"Dashan, do you want to take action?"
"It's too far away. It's hard for us to catch them if they run away. Let's wait until they get closer first."
Face In this unexpected situation, Dashan was still calm and made a wise decision after making a simple judgment on the distance.
However, I don't know what happened, but after seeing the dark woods across a long distance, the two people stopped. After saying a few words to each other, they turned around and left.
This situation made the expressions of the three members of the exploration team darken.
"Do you want to chase?"
"I can't catch up."
Dashan said these three words, his tone was already a bit annoyed.
"Hurry back to the tribe and tell the leader what's going on here. We'll keep an eye on it! Hurry!"
Under Dashan's urging, the tribe member had no time to think about it and hurried at full speed. Rushed back to the tribe.
After receiving the news, a few subtle wrinkles appeared unconsciously between Zhou Xu's brows.
From time to time until now, except for the humans of their tribe, he has never seen an outsider.
Of course, he knows that there are other tribes in the world, but this does not mean that he wants to meet them.
Judging from Zhou Xu's current personal experience, this is a primitive world with scarce resources.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has lost a lot of weight from time to time.
In this case, people from other tribes appear, what does this mean?
This means that there is a high probability that they will form a competitive relationship around limited resources! This is not a good thing!
