Chapter 67 Dragon
Xu Chen is not very interested in hunting.
This primitive hunting activity is useless except for the hustle and bustle.
No matter how powerful you hunt, you still have to go hungry.
If humans need to completely get rid of this state of inability to eat, farming and animal husbandry is the best choice.
This vast river beach does not look like a hunting ground, but a Feng Shui treasure land that is extremely suitable for building cities.
It is open to the southeast, surrounded by mountains in the west, rivers in the east, and a wider area in the south. If a city is built here and six tribes are gathered together, this large river beach is enough to open up tens of thousands of acres of grain fields, plus the aquatic products of large and small rivers, which is enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
However, although this idea excited him, the reality is that the six tribes together are estimated to be less than a thousand people.
It is just a larger village with insufficient manpower, so don’t even think about building a city.
But if you build a village without walls without any obstruction in such a surrounding area, it is more dangerous than living in a valley cave.
People are people, people are short of people.
I lack my aunt at home and everything outside.
However, Xu Chen did not completely give up on this idea.
According to his communication with several other tribes when he set up a stall last night, he had already learned a little about the situation nearby. In fact, in addition to the Wu tribe and the six nearby tribes, there are also other tribes a little farther away. However, because of different ethnic groups, he has little contact. When he occasionally encounters hunting, he also has little communication.
Distance, language, race and other conditions have led to almost disconnection of such communication.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I don’t need it.
Under the premise of not knowing each other, contact will not only bring benefits, but will also bring great danger. If the location of the tribe is exposed, it may be attacked.
Monkeys and wolves will compete for territory, let alone humans.
Therefore, most of the primitive tribes are in an extremely closed state and survive independently.
Including the Ba tribe and Wu tribes, although they are the same tribe and are only a few dozen miles away, they basically have no contact on weekdays. Because there is no need for communication, they naturally do not have much initiative.
This process continued in Chinese history until the Yanhuang period, when men began to gain dominance, and the population grew to the point where they had to compete for greater living space, and large-scale wars began to occur. With the close racial exchanges, commerce began to prosper, and barriers and barriers between different races were gradually broken. The great integration of culture and language and race made humanity rise rapidly with civilized characteristics. Large tribal alliances emerged, classes began to appear, and the prototype of the regime was formed. This situation continued for thousands of years before the concept of a country began to appear.
Therefore, building a city to survive on a plain is not in place at present.
Xu Chen can only think about it for the time being.
What's more, this territory belongs to the territory of the Wu tribe.
Even if he wanted it, the Ukrainian tribe would not agree. The only way was to annex the Ukrainian tribe.
But according to the comparison of strength between the two sides, it can almost be said that the Ba tribe has no chance of winning if he touches a stone with an egg.
Nearly two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
The sun is approaching noon.
Most of the animals on the river beach have fled far away due to the hunting activities, leaving only a large number of wild birds that are rising and falling, and then some small animals such as deer and wild sheep.
Even the roar of beasts that could be heard everywhere at the beginning slowly stopped.
Several tribal leaders such as Wu and Muba have been sitting under a big tree to communicate. Most savages start to lie on the ground and sleep because of boredom. Some young people climb up big trees or stones to look out to hunt in the distance.
"Return!"
Suddenly, an excited voice came from the top of the big tree, and all the waiting men, women, young and old instantly stood up and looked at them like chicken blood.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, I saw a group of hunters carrying their prey along the river and heading towards the valley.
After a long time, this group of talents finally came to the front.
This is a group of Hu tribe hunters, with more than ten people carrying a wild deer. Several huge wounds on their bodies were still bleeding, and several of them were covered with blood. Although they were tired and sweating profusely, they still looked very excited.
"Plop~"
The wild deer was thrown on the grass amid the cheers, and the children of the Wu tribe cheered and pounced on the wound and began to suck blood.
The patriarch of the Hu clan was very happy and stepped forward and kept praising his tribe members.
This is an adult wild deer, with a large size, with a weight of less than 200 kilograms, and it is definitely a huge prey.
People from other tribes looked a little unhappy, especially the men of the Ukrainian tribe, who seemed very dissatisfied and spoke with a sense of sarcasm.
Xu Chen didn't understand very much and was too lazy to participate in this fearless debate, but he was very interested in this pair of antlers.
Deer antlers are a very good Chinese medicine. They contain a lot of amino acids and have the effects of strengthening muscles and bones, warming and nourishing kidney yang. In addition, these old horns are very sharp and strong, so it is also very good to take them back for decoration or as hooks.
Because Xu Chen was not very clear about the rules of the hunting competition, he communicated with several tribesmen and learned that these preys were the harvest of each tribe, and the meat was usually shared with each tribe for dinner. The useful ones such as animal skins and bone horns can be traded or taken back.
So Xu Chen entrusted his mother to communicate with the patriarch of the Hu clan and exchanged the huge antlers with a pottery jar and a pottery bowl, and both sides were very happy.
Although deer antlers are also precious to primitive people, their memorial significance is greater than their practical significance. Moreover, Yaya's cross is big and heavy. I guess if Xu Chen doesn't want it, they will probably still exchange it for items to take it back.
Xu Chen was naturally very happy to get the answer he wanted.
This is almost like picking up a baby.
This pair of deer antlers is at least ten pounds, but it’s a pity that these deer antlers are too old, so it’s better if they are deer antlers.
Not long after the Hu tribe came back, more than ten people from another tribe named Ji also came back with their prey.
This group of people also gained a good harvest. They beat a half-big calf, which looked like hundreds of pounds. In addition, they also got two wild sheep, which was slightly more harvested than the Hu tribe.
According to the rules of hunting competitions, the daily and middle-aged limit is the limit, which means that the hunting competition will end when the sun rises to the highest point. If there is no harvest before the Japanese and middle-aged, it will be judged that the competition will fail and lose the qualification to receive the blessing of the great witch.
Therefore, as the sun gradually rose and almost noon, the remaining three tribes returned one after another.
The third person in Wu tribe came back. Because of the large number of people, he also gained the most. An adult bison, two deer, and one thing that Xu Chen didn't recognize at all. Its head and tail were nearly two meters long. It looked like a dog's body was like a lizard, but its sharp ears were long tails and fangs, and its body was green. The claws were as curved and sharp as eagle claws, completely like a stitching monster.
What the hell is this?
Xu Chen was stunned, and all the savages rushed to watch. Gugu Gaga kept making various screams and screams, but when the Ukrainians threw the prey on the ground and found that they were still breathing, the crowd instantly retreated like a blast of a nest.
A group of tired and sweaty people were all very proud. One of the strong hunters, who were covered in scars and still bleeding, stepped forward and stepped on the beast's neck, then pulled out a wolf bone dagger and stabbed it hard on the beast's neck.
A stream of blood gushed out from the end of the dagger, splashing down a large area around it.
Seeing the beast's body twitching slightly for a few times and finally died, the retreating crowd cheered excitedly.
Judging from the performance of these savages, this wild beast is extraordinary.
It must be a very terrifying beast.
But Xu Chen was sure that he had never seen such a strange animal before.
According to the current living environment, it should be on the earth, but there has never been any record in later generations, which only means that this thing became extinct later.
As for the reason for the extinction, it may be related to the flood.
Of course, this is not on Earth, so that's another matter.
After three months of traveling, the moon, sun and stars look similar to the earth, but he doesn't recognize most animals and plants.
But this thing looks so weird.
"What is this?"
Xu Chen whispered to Gu Heju next to him.
The two teenagers shook their heads, they had never seen each other before.
"Longga!" A man from the Ba tribe next to him explained excitedly.
"Dragon?" Xu Chen was a little dull.
"Longga!" Several men from other tribes next to him also nodded.
The Wu tribe hunter who had just killed this monster grabbed the monster with both hands and raised it over his head. The blood was poured on his face. He swallowed the blood in big mouth, and then shouted: "Long~ga~"
"Longga~Longga~Longga~"
The savages onlookers roared excitedly.
Is this a dragon?
Could it be that I have some misunderstanding of the dragon!
Or what misunderstandings do these dogs have about dragons?
Although it is said that there is no dragon in the world, but a kind of divine beast created by the ancestors of China, the dragon in Xu Chen's impression is definitely not like this, but an existence that flys in the sky, escapes from the earth, clouds and rains, domineering power and domineering over all the beasts.
How can it be equated with the stitching monster in front of you?
So he was unwilling to admit that this thing was killed by a dragon.
The only thing he could accept was that there was something wrong with the language of the savages.
But no matter what, the pronunciation of this stitching monster is called dragon, which is impossible for him to erase.
Looking at this thing's terrifying fangs and sharp hook claws, we also know that the combat power of this beast is very strong.
Although the group of Wu tribe who came back gained a huge harvest, they were also very embarrassed. More than ten people had scratches of all sizes, especially the guy who killed the dragon in the end, the fur on his body was sparse, and it seemed that his body was covered with wounds. In addition, the blood was covered in blood, it looked as terrifying as a blood gourd.
