After the Earth Armored Beast was brought back to the tribe, it attracted everyone in the tribe to watch, because this thing usually lives in underground caves. Although the population is large, it is difficult to catch them.
Even the old witch couldn't help coming over to take a closer look, because the Earth Armored Beast was a species unique to the Southern Wilderness and he had never seen it in the Eastern Wilderness.
Jiang Xuan temporarily placed the armored beast under the stone mountain, next to the new altar.
This is a sacrifice to the Vine God. Jiang Xuan believes that it will never escape under the Vine God's nose.
Two days later, they went into the mountains again and used traps to capture an adult bighorn sheep and several smaller prey.
This bighorn sheep was larger than the Earth Armored Beast, weighing more than five hundred kilograms. If Jiang Xuan and the others hadn't eaten the fruits of the whip tree and were incredibly strong, it would have been difficult to bring it back alive.
At this point, the sacrifices used for the sacrifice are almost ready.
Big horn sheep, ground beetles, colorful pheasants, colorful ducks, bamboo rats, etc. will all select the best ones for sacrifice.
"One big fish is missing."
Jiang Xuan was going to catch a big fish by the river, and the sacrifices were basically ready.
Really big fish are usually found in deep water areas, and they are extremely powerful in the water, so it is not easy to catch them.
After Jiang Xuan thought carefully, he decided to use fishing to catch a big fish.
It is difficult to catch really big fish by setting fishing traps, and casting a net is a bad idea without a boat or a good fishing net.
Only for fishing, you can throw the hook and bait into the deep water and catch the big fish directly.
Jiang Xuan did as he said and immediately began to prepare the equipment for fishing big fish.
First of all, it is a fishing rod that is strong enough. It needs to be thick, big and tough. Only in this way can it withstand the force of the big fish.
This is not difficult for Jiang Xuan, just chop down a purple blood tree as thick as an arm.
The purple blood tree is extremely tough. Jiang Xuan used the purple blood tree to make a bone spear before, which was very easy to use.
Secondly, prepare a fishing line that is strong enough and a large fishhook.
In terms of fishing line, Jiang Xuan chose a rope woven from animal skin. This kind of rope is very tough, wear-resistant and not easy to break.
As for the fishhook, Jiang Xuan found a hard barb-shaped animal bone and polished it carefully. The end was sharp enough and the tail end could be firmly tied with an animal skin rope.
There was also a fish float. Jiang Xuan found some dry reeds and tied them together to use as a fish float.
Finally, he asked Dajiao for some thick insects and put them in a covered rattan basket.
These preparations took him most of the day.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xuan took his big fishing rod, and together with Chi Shao, Uncaria and others, came to the bend of the river with gentle water flow, preparing to catch big fish.
"Put on the bait first."
Jiang Xuan threaded a large insect as thick as an arm onto a huge animal bone fishhook.
The heads of the insects have been cut off and they are completely dead so that they will not struggle and the fishy smell will be stronger when put into the water.
Later, Jiang Xuan held a three-meter-long purple blood tree fishing rod in one hand and a huge fishing hook in the other hand. After unfolding the animal skin rope more than ten meters long, he directly threw the baited fishing hook into the Into the river.
"Boom!"
The fishhook entered the water in the deep water area and sank quickly. If it hadn't been for a fish float tied with reeds, the rope would have been submerged in the water.
"Okay, now I just need to wait patiently."
Jiang Xuan sat down on a big pebble by the river.
Fishing is a job that requires patience. There is no point in being impatient, because whether or not you take the bait depends on the fish, not the person.
Uncaria asked curiously: "Chief, can this really pull up the big fish?"
Fishing is a fishing method that has never been used by tribal people, so no one is sure whether it is effective.
"The principle is the same. You can think of this as a fishing trap."
"You see, when we use a rope trap to catch big birds, it is also a stick, a rope, plus a bait and a trigger stick, right?"
"Fishing is the same, but the lasso is replaced by a fishhook."
"The big fish sees the bait and swallows the hook, and then the sharp hook will pierce into its body and catch it, making it unable to escape."
"When a big fish struggles, it will pull on the fishing line, and the reeds on the water will move accordingly."
"At this time, we just need to use the fishing rod to exhaust the fish's energy and then pull it up."
Jiang Xuan used the analogy of a trap. Uncaria, Chi Shao and others soon understood what fishing was all about. To put it bluntly, this was a different kind of fishing trap.
"Okay, don't talk when you're fishing, or you'll scare the fish away."
Jiang Xuan stopped talking, and the others began to wait patiently.
As a qualified tribal hunter, waiting patiently when hunting is the most basic requirement, and this is okay for everyone.
The fish in this river have probably never been caught before, and the number is astonishing.
Not long after Jiang Xuan dropped it, the reed fish float on the river started to move.
"A fish has taken the bait."
Jiang Xuan immediately cheered up, holding the thick fishing rod with both hands and staring closely at the water.
"Crash..."
Soon, the fishing line made of animal skin rope was straightened, and the fish float made of reeds was dragged into the water desperately by the big fish, floating up and down.
Jiang Xuan felt the huge force coming from the fishing rod. He immediately stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
"Crash..."
A fast-moving black shadow appeared in the river, swimming back and forth with the animal skin rope. The huge force bent the fishing rod made of the purple blood tree.
"help me!"
After Jiang Xuan was dragged forward two steps, his expression finally changed and he immediately called for help.
You know, he is close to the two-color warrior, and his strength is several times that of ordinary tribesmen.
Even he couldn't stand still. You can imagine how powerful and big the fish in the water is.
Red Shao and Uncaria immediately went over and grabbed the thick Purple Blood Tree fishing rod together to fight against the big fish in the water.
Gradually, the big fish floated up in the water. It was actually oval and looked like a ball.
"what fish is this?"
Jiang Xuan was very confused, but everyone knew very little about fish in the water, so no one could answer him.
After some back and forth, it turned out that there were more people on the shore and more strength. The strange fish in the water gradually stopped swimming so fast and gradually surfaced.
"Pull, pull up!"
Jiang Xuan and others pulled the strange fish into the shallow water together. After a lot of hard work, they finally pulled it ashore, and everyone finally saw the true face of the strange fish.
"Oh, what a big bastard!"
Jiang Xuan exclaimed. He never expected that he would actually catch a giant turtle while fishing for a big fish.
The back of this giant turtle is more than two meters long, like a large round table. It is roughly estimated that it weighs at least several hundred kilograms. It can be said to be a real big tortoise.
"Is this thing called a bastard?"
"It looks so weird. Look, it has four legs."
"Yeah, how can it live in the water if it has legs? It's so weird."
"Its mouth is so big, why can't you see the fangs?"
Everyone was very excited, chatting and discussing while looking at this strange aquatic creature.
"Excellent sacrifice!"
"Put a shelf and carry it back!"
Jiang Xuan was in a happy mood. With an order, everyone was busy building a frame, then dragged the giant turtle to the frame, tied it up, and carried it back to the tribe along the opened road.
