On this road, the fresh blood has dried up. Following the blood traces, they can easily find the place where the beasts rushed to the street.
Not far from the back door, only about half a kilometer away, there were seven or eight beasts of considerable size lying on the ground in a mess.
The bite marks of small beasts can still be seen outside the skin of their first love, but these beasts should be very small. For such a huge corpse, they only gnawed away a very small part.
For this relatively small loss, the people of this tribe can still bear it.
The investigators in charge of the investigation walked over early and walked around the fresh corpses. After confirming that there were no attacking beasts hidden under the corpses or on the surface, they began to investigate the corpses. Follow-up processing and transportation.
First of all, the sun has just risen, which is the most suitable and warm time of the day. With Mai Fan and others, there is an entire reconnaissance team, and of course a pair of logistics and transportation team members are following behind.
After receiving the confirmed news, these team members began to take action.
They carry a very strange tool in their hands, a hooked sickle polished from bones.
In primitive societies where iron and metal utensils were not abundant, knives made of bones were one of their most commonly used tools.
The sharpness of this bone was beyond Mai Fan's imagination. Because after two people stood on the corpse of the beast, one person controlled one end of the bone knife. A place like the handle of a saw. Start pushing hard along one place.
One person is pulling back on this end of the bone knife, and the other person is pushing forward on the other end of the bone.
The animal skin that seemed thicker than cowhide made a squeaking sound in front of everyone, followed by the sound of being cut and torn.
A kind of purple-red skin fascia spread out from the bottom layer of the skin under the operation of the bone knife.
After seeing their results, those responsible for collection quickly rushed forward with baskets.
What they got in their hands was another tool, one with a hook to pull the gold skin apart, and another sharp stone tool like a shovel. The function of this tool is just like how we deal with the soft cake. After cutting them into small pieces, scoop out the skin from the underlying bones.
The person in front used a bone knife to pull the beast from its skull to the base of its tail.
The entire hide of this beast appeared to be parting to both sides.
The people who rushed up later used those hooks to completely separate the two pieces of skin from the left and right sides. Let a red beast with only flesh and blood be exposed in front of those who need to continue to divide it.
Mai Fan and his teammates stood aside and watched the dozen or so people. It only took ten minutes to cut up a beast that was taller than their adults, leaving only the bones.
Even the internal organs, which Westerners didn't know how to handle, were collected very carefully by the people here.
After the team in charge of collecting filled the baskets, half of the people separated and started running towards the back door of their tribe with the full baskets in their hands. As they were running, the reconnaissance team standing on the watchtower had discovered their traces, so they sent a signal to another pair of collectors guarding the back door.
After receiving the signal, these collectors let out very excited howls, and then one after another they got out through the gap in the back door, passing by the teammates who were running towards them.
As they passed each other, they saw the rich harvest in the basket and made even more excited shouts.
The running out of these people made up for the lack of this team due to transportation.
After the addition of personnel, whether it was the cutting personnel or the collecting personnel, they immediately rushed to the location of the second beast.
It was still the same process, and it was divided cleanly again. Mai Fan felt that they needed to find a beast in the farthest place to study the species composition in the wilderness.
After speaking to the leader, the clever little boy immediately led Mai Fan and the others to the front of the team.
As a boy who is familiar with this place, he is still wary of so many clansmen around him.
He held a spear in his hand and carefully opened the red bushes not far from them.
It kept lashing at the bushes as if disturbing a snake in the dense grass.
When he was doing this kind of twitching, as expected, he could hear the rustling sounds coming from the bushes.
However, the boy's expression remained unchanged, indicating that these little things are not harmful to their personal lives.
“This is a gerbil that is extremely tolerant of cold and heat.
The pitted marks we saw on the beasts' bodies were caused by them.
Even though they didn't cause much damage, that's because we arrived quite early and they just came out of the hole in the ground.
If these corpses are left here for a long time, they will almost eat through them, and eventually enter the cortex, chewing these large prey into a hollow shell.
Why do we need to divide the commission first and then check whether the meat inside is damaged? It's because these little things may not look big, but they have very tricky mouths.
Sometimes we go looking for some prey that has been hunted early, and when we transport it back, we find that these little things have eaten it up first and turned it into an empty shell with only bones and skin.
Speaking of which, they are quite annoying pests to us.
Because of their small size, they can destroy our food if we are not careful.
However, the little mice we saw during the collection process just now are not that quick to break through the skins of these beasts.
Let's quickly take two steps to see the situation of the beast at the front and deepest surrounded by bushes. "
If the other end is not troubled by these little things, then today's harvest can be said to be basically complete.
As the last beast shot by Mai Fan, its body was quite far away from the entire tribe.
Based on Mai Fan's arm strength and the look in his eyes, he was killed almost 1.55 miles away.
It seems that these large habitats will definitely clean up the surrounding environment.
The closer it is to the habitat, it is basically in a clean and barren state.
In the same way, those who are far away are a little out of reach.
