Chapter 9 The Beginning of Belief Systems
Suddenly, everyone was looking at him with strange eyes. Lei Zhentian touched his nose, subconsciously shook his eyebrows, and deliberately said in a very special tone, "Cough... there is no need to look at me with this kind of eyes. You must know that in this world, there are many things that are difficult to understand. Just like thunder, rain, and snow, it makes people feel magical..."
He fooled a group of uneducated savages "illiterate", and even Lei Zhentian felt a little blushed for himself. But he did not intend to explain to everyone about the Wheel of War, the World of Nothing and the Storage Ring, which made Lao Lei himself find difficult to understand.
Since it is difficult to understand, I simply don’t explain it. Or... it can be used for some use.
A strange idea suddenly flashed in his mind. With a try-and-try mentality, Lei Zhentian's face suddenly smiled slightly. His eyes were like ink crystals soaked in water, black and bright, with a deep mysterious light shining outward. "Or, you can regard me as a person favored by the gods and possess some divine power envied by ordinary people. If you believe me, you must obey the will of the gods and obey every command I give!"
"——As long as you follow my footsteps, you will definitely be favored by the gods!"
After hearing Lei Zhentian's words, everyone present was influenced by his words and suddenly became excited and excited. Perhaps in the eyes of these tribal teenagers, nothing is more exciting than being favored by the gods.
Especially Jekyll, he looked at Lei Zhentian's eyes, and there was a unique brilliance of worship, confidence and courage burning. "Apache, are you saying true?"
Well……
Lao Lei suddenly realized that he really had the potential to become a charlatan. In fact, it was no wonder that the more backward civilization, the more he believed in illusory things such as the gods.
In habit, they like to link everything they cannot understand with the gods and gradually form a tribe-specific belief! Aren’t the ancient civilizations on the earth also excessively?
How powerful and profound the power of faith is, for Lei Zhentian, who is familiar with ancient and modern history, he is more clear than anyone in this world.
Lei Zhentian did not expect that he could achieve an unexpected effect if he just used it casually and escaped the test.
"If you want to survive and develop in this world, you must first win over people's hearts. You must make the people around you obey and have firm loyalty. And cultivating a fanatical belief system may be a good start..."
Gradually, in Lao Lei's heart, there was a rough template about the belief system.
…………………………
The sunlight reflected silver light through the faint clouds, making people's eyes blurred. The fog last night was like a curtain, and was pulled open again by the golden threads of the sun. The whole wilderness gradually appeared clearly in front of everyone's eyes.
After a night of hard work, everyone worked together to finally dug a meniscus shaped mound pit that was 6 meters wide and 3 meters deep in front of them. At the bottom of the mound pit, dense broken spears were arranged.
"For such width and depth, perhaps the saber-toothed tiger can easily cross it with just one jump. But the main function of the trench pit is not to block saber-toothed tigers, but to limit their hunting space."
In Lao Lei's calculations, if it is attacked by a saber-toothed tiger, it is first of all a wooden spear. Although everyone's wooden spear generally loses the tip of the spear, it still has the effect of pushing. In a very limited space, as long as the saber-toothed tiger is not jumping in place, it will definitely fall into these trenches.
With the weight of a saber-toothed tiger, no matter how thick its fur is, it will be injured and bleeding in these trenches. As long as the spear is covered with anesthetic, blood can make these wild beasts lose their ability to move quickly.
But calculations are calculations. If the saber-toothed tiger does not take the initiative to attack, Lei Zhentian will have no other way except to die.
In fact, Lao Lei also thought about escaping along the stream behind him. The stream was not deep, only about two meters deep.
The only regret is that the water flow here is very turbulent, with many rocks hidden inside. Anyone who falls down will be hit and his head will be broken and bloody in an instant.
"After one night, I have made all the preparations I should make. I will not succeed next, but by God's will!"
Lei Zhentian knew from the heart that if he abandoned this favorable terrain with water behind him and ran around in the wilderness, more than half of the more than 50 people would die. Not to mention a more dangerous giant-blade-toothed tiger, which was still hidden in unknown places around him.
After a while, a tiger roar alarmed everyone. Lao Lei looked over and found a huge sabre-toothed tiger jumping out of the weeds, holding a flesh-and-blooded corpse in his mouth. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it was one of the six people who were pulled behind by Lei Zhentian last night.
"Damn beast!"
Staring at the bloody corpse, the whereabouts of the other five people could be guessed, which made Lei Zhentian curse out in resentment.
In Lao Lei's eyes, the saber-toothed tiger is as legendary. Its shoulder height is nearly two meters, it is very large, and has a strong body, especially its forelimbs. The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the head - two saber teeth up to 2,30 cm long, buried deep in the upper jaw, almost on the same level as the top of the head.
Such special and sharp canine teeth can be killed in the depths of the prey's body in just one pair, and can try to expand the wound, causing a large amount of bleeding from the prey and causing death.
The air is mixed with a disgusting smell of blood. Lei Zhentian judged by the fatal scars of the corpse that the hunting of saber-toothed tigers should be closer to the great white sharks than modern lions and tigers.
The hunting method of saber-toothed tigers should be to cause large and deep wounds to be fatal in the back or ribs of the prey.
Saber teeth must be used to "sting" and "cut" - from the process of predation, Lei Zhentian summarized this into one word: marking. It is to draw a big hole in the prey.
The longer the saber teeth, the more this should be, because this is the fastest and feasible, and the risk-free thin and sharp teeth must be used for cutting, such as great white sharks, allosaurus, and dinosaurs.
From the back to the rear, chasing and attacking the back. Then to the end, holding the prey, pressing it to the ground and performing surgical puncture, grab the prey with its powerful forelimbs and "scratched" it.
Lei Zhentian's final conclusion is that with such a great weapon, it is no longer important where the saber-toothed tiger is injured when dealing with large animals or other prey. As long as it is not injured, it will be done with the prey and bite it casually.
Jump up, jump onto the prey, and use its own gravity to scratch or cut down with its saber teeth.
The only weakness of a saber-toothed tiger is that its saber teeth are too long and thin and are quite sharp. Therefore, to a certain extent, the function of saber-tooth is not to be beneficial to "biting the throat", but to avoid "biting the throat" to prevent the saber-tooth from being stuck by the bones.
But this only weakness seems to be no longer a weakness for the more disadvantaged humans.
