Chapter 4 Hunting the Wilderness
At the end of a funeral, the old Wu Zhu was buried in a valley behind the tribe, where other dead tribe members were buried.
In a mountain twenty miles behind the tribe is the forbidden mountain of the tribe, where the tribe's sacrifice god lives.
Gu Chen stood at the top of the mountain, silently looking at the direction of the Forbidden Mountain, with a sense of coldness in his eyes.
"Clan leader, the hunting time is up, and it's time for the tribe to go out to hunt, and there is not much food in the tribe."
At this time, an old clan walked up tremblingly, whispering a reminder, his eyes full of sorrow and pain.
The death of the old Wu Zhu cast a shadow on the tribe's members, and there was a sacrifice three days later, which meant that twenty young people would be sent to the gods.
Sacrifice to God represents strength and terror. Who dares to resist?
Therefore, many people in the tribe are crying silently, and many young people are waiting for the choice of fate. In three days, who will be chosen to sacrifice to the gods?
Looking at the panicked, uneasy and dull tribe members, Gu Chen became increasingly determined to get rid of the so-called sacrifice to the gods.
“Hunting?”
Gu Chen looked at the sky silently, thinking about how to become stronger. According to the information he obtained from the black beads, if he wanted to open the body tempering, he had to obtain energy replenishment.
One way to obtain energy is to hunt creatures, thereby obtaining the energy activation body quenching function.
"Xiao Hei, summon the tribe warriors and prepare for hunting."
He took a deep breath and ordered Xiao Hei behind him.
Hei Tu walked towards him with a stone spear in his hand and strode to the stars. His two-meter-high body exuded a wild aura. In the whole tribe, he was the tallest and most powerful.
"Class leader, it's ready."
When Heizuo came to salute respectfully, his face was still a little sad and sad. The tribe could not see hope in the future.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, just nodded and made an unexpected decision.
"This time I decided to lead my tribe members down the mountain to hunt."
A sentence shocked all the tribes nearby, and looked at Gu Chen in shock.
It is rare for the patriarch to go hunting in person, because as the patriarch, you don’t have to hunt.
But Gu Chen decided to go out to hunt.
Because he needs stronger strength to become stronger, hunting wild beasts is the only way.
And there is only three days. If you cannot obtain the power to fight against the gods, there may be no hope for the tribe in the future.
In front of the tribe, a group of primitive people gathered, wearing animal skins, holding stone spears and wooden bows, ready to go.
They were all young and strong men from the Wilderness Tribe, with a total of 100 people gathered together to see the extremely spectacular area.
A group of people had already gone down the mountain first, and the team was responsible for fishing in the small river at the foot of the mountain, with a little more numerous.
There is also a group of women from the tribe who go to the woods at the tribe’s mountain to pick wild fruits, which is the main source of food for the tribe.
Looking at the hundred tribal warriors in front of him, Gu Chen felt so depressed. This is not called a team, it is simply a group of savages.
Look at the weapons in my hand, they are all sharply polished by stones and tied with rattan and wooden stick. The wooden bow is even simpler. A stick and a rattan are woven, which is so backward that it makes people desperate.
Can you hunt prey with such a team?
Thinking about the tribe's sacrifice to the gods, if you want to fight, this team is just a delivery of vegetables. Thinking of this, Gu Chen's heart became heavier and his desire for power reached a limit.
Every time I hunted before, I only caught one wild beast like a deer at most, and the others were rabbit-like animals.
"Oh, it's hard to lead the team." Gu Chen sighed in his heart.
At this time, the black soil in front of the team walked up with a look of worry.
"Captain, do you really want to go hunting in person?" Heitu asked worriedly.
He looked at Gu Chen and said respectfully: "You are the tribe leader. You don't have to follow us out to hunt. Any food in the tribe is distributed by you."
"Yes, patriarch, you won't go."
"Class leader, just stay in the tribe and wait for us to come back."
"Yes, it's too dangerous at the foot of the mountain."
Everyone, every word, wanted to persuade the patriarch Gu Chen, not to go down the mountain to hunt, and would rather wait to sit in the tribe and enjoy his achievements.
As the patriarch, he will distribute the food obtained by the tribe, and there is no need to take the risk of hunting.
In their opinion, Gu Chen is the patriarch of the entire tribe and the spiritual pillar. Just stay in the tribe to guide them forward.
“Needless to say.”
Gu Chen waved his hand to stop them from talking, his face firm.
He looked serious and said without any doubt: "As the tribe leader, how can I stay in the tribe and do nothing, how can I lead the tribe to prosperity?"
"Go out, hunt, everything for the tribe!"
Gu Chen raised his stone spear and shouted loudly, walked down the mountain first, and strode towards the tribe mountain.
"Everything is for the tribe!"
A hundred tribal warriors behind him held up stone spears and wooden bows and shouted in unison, full of fighting spirit, and they all began to go down the mountain with great enthusiasm, following Gu Chen's pace.
In the tribe, many tribesmen were even more pleased with Gu Chen, the patriarch who thought about the tribe in this way, were good patriarchs.
Since you are a good patriarch, you must support it.
The mountain people of the primitive tribe are simply like white paper. As long as you show that you are good to them or even consider them, you will immediately gain infinite admiration.
In fact, there was a reason Gu Chen firmly went down the mountain to hunt with the tribe, one for the mysterious bead in his mind.
That mysterious bead can bring him the chance to become stronger again and again, and the only thing he lacks is energy replenishment.
As long as you hunt wild beasts, you can get enough energy to provide him with the opportunity to temper his body, so that he can continue to become stronger.
He needs powerful strength. Only powerful strength can he fight against the god behind the tribe, get rid of it, and let the tribe regain freedom.
In order to become stronger, Gu Chen took the lead. This is a dangerous wild world. How can he stand in this world without strength?
Moreover, as the tribe leader, he should indeed set an example and lead the tribe to grow. All of this requires strength as the basis.
At the foot of the mountain, Gu Chen looked at the vast grassland ahead, and his desolate feeling rushed to his face, and his mind couldn't help but shake.
This was actually his first time going down the mountain.
Since I came here through time, I was inexplicably elected as the leader of the tribe and it was the first time I went down the mountain. Looking at the vast grassland, my mood naturally became a little subtle.
"Class leader, there is a wild plain in front of you."
Hei Tu whispered beside him, but no matter how soft his voice was, it could be heard by many people.
No one spoke, and looked at Gu Chen, the patriarch, seriously.
"I heard from the old people in the tribe that there are countless wild beasts inside. We cannot go deeper, we can only look for hunting beasts on the periphery."
Heizui reminded him word by word, explaining some precautions for hunting to Gu Chen.
Hunting sounds simple, but it is actually very particular, and has many restrictions and taboos, which cannot be visited in some places.
For example, the depths of the wild plains cannot be accessed. The old people in the tribe often warn that they can only look for prey outside, and the depths of the plains cannot be accessed.
"I understand, just look for prey on the periphery. If you have experience, Xiao Hei will take the lead. I will follow you to hunt."
Gu Chen had self-knowledge, no stupid arrogance, nor was he arrogant. This is different from the previous earth.
This wild world is full of crises, and the hunting teams in the tribe often have tribe members dying on the hunting journey.
Although it is an outer periphery, you will still encounter some powerful and dangerous wild beasts. If you encounter them, you can only escape. This is the only choice.
The tribe had encountered several times before, and several people died twice, and it was very thrilling to die.
Black Soil took the lead, and the team advanced along the hunting route before the tribe and slowly entered the outer area of the wild plain.
Not long after, they arrived at a low-lying area with a large area of water and lush green bushes.
"Class leader, look, there is a lonely wild dragon beast there."
A group of people were hiding in the grass, and the black soil pointed to a low-lying pool ahead, where a huge creature was drinking water by the pool.
"Wild Dragon Beast?"
