After the winter hunting, although the weather was still cold, everyone in the Vine Tribe gradually calmed down with the relatively sufficient food supply, and they did not have to worry about starving to death.
In the days that followed, Jingjie and the stronger tourists continued to fish and catch birds according to the methods given by Jiang Xuan, and occasionally caught some small prey.
As for the real Teng tribe members, they were divided into two groups under the leadership of Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao. They braved the heavy snow every day and took turns hunting in the nearby jungle.
The reason for doing this is not only for food, but also for the new warriors to improve their combat capabilities as much as possible.
The current situation of the Vine Tribe is not safe, and their luck cannot always be so good. Sooner or later, they will need to rely on their own strength to fight the enemy.
For tribesmen, the fastest way to improve their combat effectiveness is to go hunting directly.
Hunting tests not only a warrior's physical strength, but also various comprehensive abilities such as patience, observation, bow and arrow use, trap placement, and fighting skills.
Of course, the jungle is dangerous, and hunting is also dangerous. Even experienced warriors can lose their lives if they are not careful.
Only warriors who survive hunt after hunt can become the true backbone of a tribe.
The elimination rules of the tribe are so cruel and helpless.
"Hululu..."
In the primitive jungle covered with heavy snow, three wild boars, which had been hungry for many days, were walking in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving a few lines of messy footprints behind them.
From time to time, they use their mouths to push through the snow and their fangs to break through the ice, looking for some grass roots or plant tubers to eat.
These wild boars have thick black manes on their backs and are huge. Each one weighs more than a thousand kilograms. Their tusks are long and sharp, making them intimidating.
They have rough skin and thick flesh, and they like to scratch themselves on trees. Their skin is condensed with a thick layer of oil, like a hard armor. Their defensive power is abnormally strong. They also have a pair of fangs, which can be said to be a combination of offense and defense.
Primitive weapons such as bows and arrows, spears, short spears, stone knives, etc., unless they hit the eyes and other vital parts, it is difficult to cause any harm to them. Instead, they will arouse their ferocity and turn their heads to chase people and bite them.
Many times, tribesmen would rather provoke lone tigers and leopards than groups of bad-tempered wild boars.
However, there are always exceptions to everything.
If a hunting team has a lot of warriors of two or more colors, hunting wild boars is a good choice.
Because there are so many parts of a wild boar that can be eaten and utilized, as long as the hunt is successful, the rewards will be huge.
Jiang Xuan focused on these three wild boars because he was now a two-color warrior. In theory, he had the ability to hunt a wild boar alone.
What's more, the Uncaria next to him is also a warrior of two colors. Plus six warriors of one color, it should be no problem to deal with three wild boars.
Three far behind, Jiang Xuan and eight soldiers were hiding behind the bushes, staring at the three wild boars that were foraging, with excitement in their eyes.
Jiang Xuan whispered: "Normally, wild boars are in groups and cannot be attacked. Now we finally found three lone ones. We cannot let them escape."
"We have more people, the snow is thick now, and the wild boars have been hungry for so long, so we have a good chance of winning."
"If the hunt is successful, these three large wild boars will be enough to feed our entire tribe for a while, and those tusks can also be made into sharp knives."
"However, I want to remind you that wild boars are very ferocious and will become even more ferocious once injured. Therefore, you must strictly follow my orders later. Do you understand?"
Uncaria and others nodded. In fact, it was their first time to hunt wild boars. They were very nervous and unlikely to act alone.
Jiang Xuan pointed to a dense forest not far away and said: "Uncaria and I will go to anger them and lure the wild boar into that forest."
"Others are responsible for laying out seven trip wires, which are long ropes tied to a tree and half a circle around the tree. They hold the rope ends themselves. When the wild boar runs to the ground with the rope, they immediately pull up the rope and pull the wild boar. stumble!"
"As long as the wild boar is tripped, Uncaria and I will look for opportunities to kill at least one or two of them!"
"One more thing everyone should pay attention to is to choose a big tree that is easy to climb and strong enough in advance. If danger occurs, you can climb the tree to save your life."
Jiang Xuan said with a serious face: "Remember, after choosing a big tree, you must try to climb it first to avoid accidents later."
"Also, try not to get close to the wild boar. If you have the opportunity, try to throw a spear or short spear into the wild boar's vitals."
Everyone nodded, no one dared to be careless when it came to their own lives.
"Okay, let's start taking action."
Jiang Xuan led the seven people quietly to the selected forest, and then began to look for big trees and suitable locations for setting up trip wires.
They each selected a big tree and tried climbing it to make sure they could climb it. Then, according to Jiang Xuan's request, they set up seven consecutive trip wires.
Because the trees in this forest are relatively dense and the distance between them is relatively short, after setting up seven trip wires, there are still a lot of tough bark ropes left.
Jiang Xuan asked them to set up several fixed trip wires in front and behind the seven movable trip wires and close to the snow to increase the chance of tripping the wild boar.
After everything was done, Jiang Xuan checked it carefully again and found no problems, so he felt a little relieved.
The Vine tribe was too weak and every warrior was precious. As the leader, he didn't want anyone to die during the hunting process.
Jiang Xuan licked his dry lips and said, "Okay, now, let's seduce the three wild boars."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand and walked towards the wild boar with Uncaria.
At this time, the three wild boars were still desperately digging through the snow and mud in search of food, but they didn't know that they had been targeted.
Jiang Xuan and Uncaria carefully came behind the three wild boars and hid behind the thick tree trunks.
Jiang Xuan carefully looked at the three wild boars, pondered for a moment, and then whispered to Uncaria: "The distance is not far, use a short spear, aim at the pig's butt and throw it."
The reason why he didn't use a bow and arrow was because Jiang Xuan was not confident that he could accurately hit the vital point of the wild boar. Within a short distance, a short spear was more convenient and more accurate.
If Shi Loach were here, Jiang Xuan would suggest him to use a bow and arrow, because Shi Loach's archery skills are better than those of other people in the Teng tribe. This is a talent that others cannot envy.
Undo nodded, and then pulled out a straight short spear and a spear thrower.
A spear thrower is actually a flat piece of wood with a barb at the end to hold the tail of a short spear. There is an animal bone at the front end to make a small bracket to hold up the spear shaft. , parallel to the tail.
This thing was made by Jiang Xuan. The structure is very simple. You only need to find suitable branches and grind them, and then glue the animal bones that serve as brackets on top with gum or fish bladder glue.
Although simple, after using a spear thrower, both the accuracy and power of throwing short spears will be much stronger than without using a spear thrower.
"You stab the wild boar on the left, and I'll stab the one on the right."
"Prepare."
Jiang Xuan himself also pulled out a carefully crafted short spear, put it on the spear thrower, and made a throwing gesture.
"cast!"
Jiang Xuan roared, then swung his spear thrower and threw the short spear, pointing directly at the buttocks of the wild boar on the right.
"Whizzing!"
Two short spears, one on the left and one on the right, roared towards the two wild boars, and then pierced their buttocks, which were relatively weak in defense.
Jiang Xuan's short spear, whether it was due to good luck or accurate enough, actually pierced the anus of the wild boar on the right.
"Ouch!"
The wild boar let out a shrill scream, its whole body arched up, and there was severe pain in its anus.
The wild boar on the left was also pierced by Uncaria, but it was pierced on the fleshy buttocks, so the damage was not that serious.
After the two wild boars were injured, they turned around and directly saw Jiang Xuan and Uncaria still holding spear throwers.
The eyes of the two huge wild boars were red. Instead of running away, they fiercely rushed towards Jiang Xuan and Uncaria with the uninjured wild boar.
The wild boar that was stabbed in the buttocks arched its back from time to time when running. It was really painful.
The more this happens, the more ferocious it becomes, rushing forward like crazy.
"Walk!"
Jiang Xuan immediately retreated with Uncaria according to the planned route. They quickly got into the woods, found the big tree next to the trip wire, and immediately climbed up.
The three big wild boars chased into the woods without hesitation, not knowing that a dead end awaited them ahead.
