Bamboo is a plant.
Say it's hard, but it's not as hard as a stone. Say it's brittle, it's not as brittle as branches and weeds.
It's kind of half-hard and half-brittle.
But in terms of seasons, the hardness of bamboo in spring and summer is different from that of bamboo in autumn and winter.
Bamboo in spring and summer is new, and its fibers are relatively brittle, so it is easy to cut down; bamboo in autumn and winter has grown for a long time, and its fibers have hardened, so it is more difficult to cut down.
In addition, it has snowed in the past few days, and many bamboos have been frozen a bit hard, making it even more difficult to cut down.
But this does not affect the cutting speed of the totem warriors.
The totem warriors were already very strong, and Yang Cheng brought back a lot of materials. Some bone knives were made of materials from high-level ferocious beasts, and some were harder than stone.
Just over ten minutes.
In the bamboo forest growing in the open space in front of Yang Cheng, only the bottom bamboo roots were left. All the vertical bamboos fell horizontally and collapsed to the ground, leaving a large field of view.
"Witch, all the bamboos have been chopped down." Hongya said.
"Yes." Yang Cheng nodded, and then commanded: "Hongya, I said, you do it, you first cut off this section."
Yang Cheng pointed to a piece of bamboo in front of him and gestured about the length of about eighty centimeters.
"Yes, Wu."
Hongya used her hands to "click" the bamboo with a diameter of one meter in primitive society to the length that Yang Cheng wanted.
"very good!"
Yang Cheng added: "Cut this piece of bamboo, and then chop it vertically. Don't make it too straight, just make it a little diagonally."
As he spoke, Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and made gestures on the bamboo.
Hongya nodded and followed Yang Cheng's instructions to split the bamboo into two pieces.
Since it is not split in the center, the bisected bamboo is divided into two sections.
One end is sharp and the other is thick.
"Very good, did you all see clearly how Hong Ya was split?" Yang Cheng ordered: "Next, you will split all the remaining bamboos into this shape."
Yang Cheng's order confused everyone even more.
I don’t understand why he didn’t take everyone to hunt, but instead played here splitting bamboo.
However, because Yang Cheng has a high status and is a shaman respected by everyone, and because of his previous deeds, everyone has confidence in Yang Cheng.
Knowing that Yang Cheng was not fooling around, but was doing things with purpose.
And even if he was messing around, it didn't matter. The tribe's food was enough for several days, and it was perfectly fine not to hunt for a day.
Everyone is strong and the tools in their hands are sharp.
These hundreds of bamboos were quickly split into five or six hundred eighty centimeter-long bamboos with pointed ends.
Yang Cheng then asked the totem warriors to tie the split bamboos with vines and carry them on their backs. Hongya then took them to the place where they usually hunted ferocious beasts.
"Witch, this is it." Hongya pointed to the area in front of him: "This is where we hunt ferocious beasts in the past few days. This place is a bit far away from our tribe, and all the ferocious beasts have come here."
"Um."
Yang Cheng nodded slightly, carefully observed the open space in the forest, then pointed to a place in front of him and said, "Come on, let's dig a big hole in this place together."
Although Yang Cheng knew nothing about hunting, he could still tell that the open space in front of him was often visited by ferocious beasts, because there were many footprints of ferocious beasts on the ground in the open space.
"Dig a big hole?"
Everyone in the congregation became even more confused.
Everyone was a little confused about the fact that the bamboo was cut into pieces just now, but they guessed that the witch planned to use these bamboos as weapons to hunt ferocious beasts.
Because there was a precedent for slings, a large number of bamboos were cut, and it was not impossible to throw these bamboos to hunt ferocious beasts.
But after listening to the wizard talking about digging a hole, everyone was really confused.
You look at me, I look at you, my eyes are blank.
But what else can be done?
This is the witch's order.
So, one by one, they put down the bamboo joints they were carrying, and then started smashing them against the ground.
This can't be done without slamming hard. The weather is cold and the ground is frozen and hard.
Fortunately, the totem warrior has the power of totem, and Yang Cheng controls the witch power, throwing fireballs from time to time.
The ground was extremely hard. With the concerted efforts of the Qingque tribe, a large pit four meters long, five meters deep and more than five meters deep soon appeared.
Yang Cheng then asked someone to insert the bamboo into the soil thirty centimeters with its hard end downwards and the pointed end upwards. About fifty centimeters were exposed above the soil.
Every twenty centimeters, a piece of bamboo is inserted.
This big hole was filled with more than 20 or nearly 30 bamboos, making it densely packed.
And I saw these bamboos stuck in the big pit.
The people who were originally confused began to understand a little.
After Yang Cheng asked the people in the pit to climb out, he began to lay a net flat on the pit, then put branches and soil on it to disguise it as the ground again.
Everyone no longer needed Yang Cheng to explain, they all suddenly came to their senses and understood what Yang Cheng was doing!
Seeing everyone's faint excitement, Yang Cheng explained with a smile: "This is called a trap. It looks different from an ordinary road on the surface, but when a vicious beast passes by, it will fall down and be hit by the bamboo tips below. Just stab him to death and we can collect the corpse of the beast the next day."
Yang Cheng's words made everyone excited again and began to look forward to it.
No one thought what Yang Cheng said was unrealistic.
In addition to Yang Chengwu's identity, it was also because they had seen and participated in the entire process.
It doesn't take much thinking to see.
The weight of the ferocious beast is so huge that a net with just a layer of soil would definitely not be able to bear it.
Moreover, there are many bamboo tips below and the height is more than five meters. Except for the special seventh-grade ferocious beasts and sixth-grade ferocious beasts, the rest of the ferocious beasts will not be killed or injured if they fall, and they cannot jump out at all.
Think of this.
Everyone became more excited.
How come they hadn't thought of such a simple hunting method before?
At the same time, everyone looked at Yang Cheng with even more enthusiasm and admiration.
I really don’t know how much wisdom the wizard’s head is filled with!
"Okay, don't get excited and have fun here."
Yang Chengdao: "One pit is not enough. There are more than a hundred people in our tribe, so let's dig another twenty or thirty!"
"Okay, witch!"
Everyone responded excitedly, and then they divided their work and went into teams of two to dig traps elsewhere.
They don't need Yang Cheng to teach them more when digging traps.
Primitive people have very strong hands-on skills, and they can master it just by looking at it once.
