Chapter 41 New Phase Plan
Under the leadership of Dashi, their first stop was, of course, near the lake.
At this moment, the people of their tribe were already rowing rafts and starting to cast nets on the lake to catch fish.
They are walking along the lake now.
“As the only water source nearby, don’t animals come to drink from this lake on weekdays?”
"It happened before."
Dashi showed a wry smile when he mentioned this.
“But the former leader tried to trick them, and after several failed attempts, these animals seemed to know that it was not safe here.”
“Coupled with the people of our tribe, during the day They basically fish on this river, and animals won’t approach easily.”
“As time goes by, fewer animals come here. Even if they want to come to drink water, they will come after dark. Because from time to time, you can still find some footprints nearby. ”
Dashi's explanation can be said to be very clear.
In this era, the night is still very dangerous for them. Under normal circumstances, they will not start operations after dark.
“So do you all rely on fishing to obtain food now, or are you trying to hunt other animals on the grassland?”
“We all rely on fishing to obtain food now.”< br>
Zhou Xu was not surprised at all when he got this answer. After all, yesterday's food was nothing but fish.
While Zhou Xu was thinking this, Dashi further explained the situation.
“The animals on the grassland run too fast and react too quickly. We can’t catch them at all.”
“Didn’t your former leader think about making a trap? ?”
Trap, Dashi has heard this term from the former leader, so he is no stranger to it.
“I tried, but they all failed.”
In this era, hunting either relied on bows and arrows or traps.
It goes without saying much about bows and arrows, but in this era, making bows and arrows is very difficult, and it must be a project that requires a lot of time and energy.
At present, their manpower is limited, and the tribe members are still busy trying to stutter every day.
In this state, it is difficult for them to spare the time, energy and manpower to study this.
At the same time, what is even more troublesome is that even if you barely develop a bow and arrow, can the accuracy, range and power of your bow and arrow be guaranteed?
This is most likely impossible.
So based on the current actual situation, in Zhou Xu's view, the bow and arrow project is a project that they can only study after they have enough spare energy.
As for traps, they can be roughly divided into two types. One is a basket trap or a lasso trap like Zhou Xu, which requires a bit of craftsmanship. Without a little craftsmanship, it is still difficult to pull it out. Difficult.
The other type is a pothole trap that requires a lot of physical labor.
But for a small tribe of more than thirty people like them, this pothole trap is actually not easy to make.
If a pothole trap is to be effective, it must be large and deep enough, which requires labor.
However, don’t forget that tribes like them are mostly short of manpower. If you want a tribe to operate smoothly and survive day by day, you need to invest in stable manpower for maintenance. , there is not much spare time to do other things. Dashi's former leader obviously did not have the skills to make basket traps or lasso traps. As for pothole traps, it goes without saying.
After a simple attempt, he clearly realized the above problems, and then ran towards the freshwater lake near their camp.
To be honest, that guy should be lucky that there is a freshwater lake with rich fish resources near the camp, otherwise from Zhou Xu's perspective, the other party would starve to death.
The existence of this freshwater lake solved the initial food problem to a great extent. It can be said that it opened a simple mode for the opponent.
But it seems that the other party has no intention of taking advantage of this advantage to develop bows and arrows. Instead, it wants to seize resources and expand its territory.
There is no need to say more about what happened next.
Currently at the Black Moon Camp, the main job of their gathering team is to pick up stones, branches and grass, or cut down some trees to obtain wood. Those door panels and large shields are used to Made of these woods.
During this process, every time Zhou Xu walked through an area, he would activate his 'Eye of Insight' to scan around it.
Although the power of the mantra that was frequently activated yesterday has not been fully recovered yet, there will be no problem as long as you don't use it frequently and at high intensity.
Zhou Xude admitted that he was really used to this. In exploration work, the 'Eye of Insight' was extremely useful.
Under the observation of the 'Eye of Insight', he quickly caught an agile figure in the grass.
The other party didn’t know if they had also discovered their presence, but they passed through the grass with a ‘swish’ sound and got into a hole in the ground.
“It’s a hare!”
Those long ears allowed Zhou Xu to instantly confirm their identity.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu led everyone to the cave quickly.
This rabbit hole is still quite deep. You can't reach the bottom just by stretching out your hand, not to mention that the entrance of the hole may be connected to other exits, basically eliminating the method of reaching out and grabbing by force.
But Zhou Xu doesn’t care at all.
Because from the beginning, he was not thinking about catching these hares by force, but thinking about how to set traps to catch these hares!
In any case, it would be great to have hares in this area, and there is no doubt that they will be on their menu.
Even thinking in the longer term, they can also consider breeding wild rabbits, so that they can obtain a more stable supply of rabbit meat in the future!
At this moment, the plans in Zhou Xu’s mind were clicking out.
As of now, this grassland is really a treasure for him!
Next, they stopped by the place where the mantra characters were found before, and then searched around a little bit.
After confirming that there was indeed no 'fish that slipped through the net' here, Zhou Xu returned to the camp with a little regret.
By the time they arrived at the camp, it was already afternoon, and even after a while, it was approaching evening.
At this time, on the Salt Lake Tribe side, Butterfly and the others had successfully arrived at the Black Moon Camp under the escort of some tribe warriors!
Needless to say, it was Zhou Xu who sent someone to the Salt Lake Camp to deliver the order this morning before setting off.
With the smooth transfer of Butterfly and the others, after he successfully occupied the Black Moon Camp, the new phase of planning arrangements can undoubtedly be officially launched!
There was a slight delay due to some minor circumstances, and the update will be sent
