It takes about ten days for the huge rough pottery tripod to be dried in the shade, and it also takes a certain amount of time to air dry in the earthen kiln.
Therefore, after Jiang Xuan was done, he began to prepare the most important thing for the sacrifice.
That is to prepare sacrifices!
Because we want the sacrifice to be more grand and to satisfy the Vine God, the preparation of the sacrifice is very important.
First of all, there are various grains, including stone eggs, round potatoes, thorn fruits, red hairy fruits, polygonatum and so on.
It would be best if there were grains, but unfortunately the Vine Tribe doesn’t have them yet, so we can only plant them after we find them later.
Then there’s Shindo’s favorite blood food.
In terms of blood food, Jiang Xuan planned to sacrifice big fish, colorful pheasants, colorful ducks, bighorn sheep, black muntjac and other prey to Shen Teng.
The sacrifices this time are very rich, Jiang Xuan believes that Shen Teng will like them.
Jiang Xuan planned to hunt bighorn sheep, black muntjac and other prey first, because the big fish were in the river and it didn’t matter when he went fishing.
That night, Jiang Xuan discussed hunting matters with Chi Shao, Uncaria, Stone Loach, and Nan Xing.
"We are going hunting. This time the hunting will be more difficult because we will capture them alive and bring them back for sacrifice. I plan to take three people with me and leave one person to guard the tribe."
Chi Shao said nothing, because she would definitely go.
Uncaria was the first to say: "To catch live prey, you must rely on traps. I am good at making traps. Chief, please take me there."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "Uncaria is good at making traps, count him among them."
"Me, me, me, leader, you promised to go hunting again last time, and you would definitely take me with you!"
Nan Xing looked at Jiang Xuan longingly. He was the youngest and had the lowest fighting ability. He didn't take him with him every time he went hunting. He had been longing for it for a long time.
Last time, Jiang Xuan left him at home and promised to take him with him next time he went hunting. He couldn't break his promise, right?
Jiang Xuan looked at Shi Loach with some embarrassment.
Shi Loach was relatively calm. He took the initiative and said, "I'll stay in the tribe."
"Okay, then let's take Nanxing with us."
"Great!"
Nan Xing jumped up with joy and shouted, "I'll prepare hunting tools right away."
Everyone in the room laughed, and then went to prepare hunting equipment.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao, Uncaria, and Nan Xing brought their hunting tools and prepared to go hunting in the southern forest.
It was late autumn at this time, and the autumn wind in the morning brought a bleak chill, and the green leaves in the forest gradually turned to withered yellow or red.
Jiang Xuan has a totem pattern on his face, and is wearing simple animal skin clothes, animal skin pants and animal skin boots. He holds a bone spear in his hand, a stone knife in his waist, an animal skin bag, and a Bow and arrow.
It is said that a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. This outfit makes him look wild and more intimidating.
"Huhu..."
On top of the stone mountain, giant dragonflies kept circling, catching some large insects and some small birds and beasts to eat.
But its movements are no longer as fast as in Xia Tian.
"I don't know if this giant dragonfly can survive this winter."
Jiang Xuan looked up and his voice was a little low.
This giant dragonfly accompanied the Vine Tribe for more than half a year. When the Mosquito Tribe's hunting team attacked, it helped them fight and ate a lot of bird-billed mosquitoes.
But the life span of dragonflies seems to be very short. Even if it is so huge, it cannot survive the winter.
Chi Shao said: "Some bugs can only live for a few days. It is good if it can live for more than half a year. This is its life."
Jiang Xuan thought about it and said, "That's right, compared to trees, our lives are also very short."
Jiang Xuan no longer dwells on this issue. Chi Shao is right, this is its fate.
"Let's go into the mountains and hunt!"
Jiang Xuan glanced at the giant dragonfly again, then withdrew his gaze and walked firmly into the forest, followed by the three of them.
Nanxing was particularly excited. There was a bone whistle hidden in his animal skin bag.
After a long period of practice, he was now able to use the bone whistle to produce lifelike bird calls and deer calls. He planned to go into the mountains and find some prey to try to see if he could use the bone whistle to attract prey.
Soon, they entered the vast primitive jungle.
No matter what state they were in before, when entering the jungle, everyone's attention became highly concentrated and their steps became lighter. These actions almost became their instinct.
The jungle is dangerous, and hunting is also dangerous. Careless people can easily lose their lives in the jungle.
"Cluck, cluck..."
While walking, Jiang Xuan suddenly stopped and squatted down. Others also stopped one after another.
A group of colorful pheasants appeared in front, about seven or eight of them.
The colorful pheasant is very beautiful. The rooster has a bright red comb on its head, a purple-blue neck, and long and colorful seven-color feathers on its tail. It looks very beautiful.
In autumn, there is plenty of food in the forest, and these colorful pheasants grow very fat. The male chickens are roughly estimated to weigh more than 20 kilograms, while the female chickens are smaller, estimated to weigh about ten kilograms.
At this time, these colorful pheasants are looking for food in the forest. They are looking for some plant fruits, seeds, and various insects to eat.
Jiang Xuan asked Chi Shao in a low voice: "Can you catch these colorful pheasants with a lasso? They are all good sacrifices."
Chi Shao looked around and said: "The colorful pheasants can't fly far. We can go around to the front, use insects as bait, set up a noose trap, and then drive them away."
"Okay, let's do it."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, and the four of them walked far away from the colorful pheasant, walked to an open space in front of them, quickly caught some bugs, and laid many noose traps.
Uncaria is indeed very talented in setting traps. After a period of study, his speed in setting traps has become as fast as Chi Shao's.
Uncaria bent a small shrub down, tied a rope, and connected it to the trigger trap on the ground.
Finally, he tied a worm in the center of the noose.
This bug is connected to the trigger trap. As long as the colorful pheasant wants to eat the bug, it will pull the safety device of the trap, and the small branch will instantly bounce up, pull up the rope, and wrap the colorful pheasant around its neck.
If you're lucky, you might catch its claws.
"alright."
Uncaria simply cleaned up the traces on the ground, and then continued to set up the next trap.
With the efforts of the four people, soon all the traps were set.
"Nan Xing, follow me. Sister, you go to the left and Uncaria to the right. Later we will be surrounded by three sides and drive those colorful pheasants away to the trap."
"good!"
After Jiang Xuan completed his division of labor, he immediately took Nan Xing back to the previous location.
Red peony root and Uncaria go around the two sides of the colorful pheasant.
"Woooooooo..."
After getting ready, everyone immediately stood up, waving their weapons and making whistles to drive away prey.
"Kekeke..."
"Flap, slap, fan..."
The colorful pheasants were startled, then flew up, instinctively escaping to the side where there were no people.
Because colorful pheasants are relatively fat and not good at flying, they only flew a few dozen meters before falling and hiding in the bushes.
Jiang Xuan and the four of them gathered together again.
Jiang Xuan was very satisfied when he saw the colorful pheasant flying to the trap area.
"Okay, now let's find a big tree where we can see those traps, then hide in the tree and wait patiently."
The four of them searched around for a while, and then found a big tree with a better view. They climbed up the tree one after another, hiding on the dense branches, and observing the movement over there through the gaps in the leaves.
About ten minutes later, those colorful pheasants thought that the people had left, so they poked their heads out of the bushes again.
At first, they were more cautious and carefully observed their surroundings.
Half an hour later, they gradually became bolder, and as usual, they used their claws to dig around on the ground, looking for bugs to eat.
An hour later, a colorful pheasant was the first to discover the bug in a noose trap.
It stared at the insect for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and pecked it.
"Whoosh!"
The colorful pheasant triggered the trap, and the bush bounced up instantly, and the noose immediately tightened, wrapped around the colorful pheasant's neck, and hung it up.
This colorful pheasant flapped its wings desperately, but it could no longer break free.
"Kekeke..."
The other colorful pheasants escaped again.
"You're trapped, go down."
The four people immediately climbed down the tree quickly. Jiang Xuan was the fastest to rush to the trap and grabbed the two wings of the colorful pheasant.
"Quick, tie its paws."
Undo excitedly took out the rope, quickly grabbed the two claws of the colorful pheasant, and tied it up.
Chi Shao took off the rope from the colorful pheasant's neck to prevent it from being strangled.
"What a fat colorful pheasant, a good sacrifice, haha!"
Jiang Xuan was smiling from ear to ear while holding this colorful pheasant.
This hunt has started well, and more prey will surely be caught in the future.
