After entering the dry season, it has not rained for a long time. Most of the many swamps on the grassland have dried up. The grass that can grow wildly to half a human height during the rainy season has now become low, desolate and yellow.

Standing against the scorching sun above his head, looking for the footprints left by his prey, Gao Yang was trying to track down a huge antelope.

Yes, Gao Yang was not dead. He was extremely lucky. With the physique of an urban man, he could survive for three years in a place in Africa, far from modern civilization. Not everyone has such good luck.

This is the third dry season that Gao Yang has experienced in Africa. In other words, Gao Yang has been living in Africa for three years.

Here, whether you can survive has nothing to do with the skills you master or what items you have. It simply depends on luck or whether your life is strong enough, at least for Gao Yang.

I have to say that Gao Yang's life is indeed hard enough. He was bitten by a poisonous snake. Although Gao Yang has used all his methods, if no one saves him, he will still be dead. However, Gao Yang was lucky enough to meet a primitive tribe on the way to migrate, and then he survived.

Gao Yang later learned that if someone in the primitive tribe who saved him was bitten by a poisonous snake, he would use traditional methods to treat it. Gao Yang was lucky that he was cured by them, but he left a big scar on the edge of his left hand.

What can the primitive tribes do? In addition to using some unknown herbs, they rely on the gods they believe in for blessing. It is said that under the protection of the gods, the snake venom on Gao Yang's body did not have any threat. However, the huge wounds caused by the swords that Gao Yang almost killed him.

There was no way, Gao Yang was afraid that the poisonous blood would flow out soon, and he was excited for a moment and was a little ruthless. Gao Yang was particularly glad to survive the situation at that time, because according to his later learning, according to the method of saving people in the tribe, one out of ten people might be able to save.

However, Gao Yang's most dangerous moment was not bitten by a poisonous snake, but after being rescued, about a month later, when Gao Yang was able to start his operation, he finally suffered from malaria and took all the antimalarial medicines he brought, but there was no effect. After being beaten for more than ten days, he was so thin that he was no longer dead.

In the past three years, Gao Yangguang has had malaria four times. He has almost all kinds of malaria that can be obtained, but he has always been able to withstand it. I don’t know if it is malaria that will produce antibodies or what will happen if it is malaria this year. Gao Yang has not had malaria yet, and he seems to have gotten rid of the nightmare of malaria.

Of course, the main reason why Gao Yang survived was that he encountered the primitive tribe that saved him. If there were no kind-hearted people to save him, Gao Yang would have died many times.

The primitive tribe that saved Gao Yang was very small and quite primitive, with only seventeen people in total, and was actually a whole family living a life of migrating everywhere and relying on collection and hunting to make a living.

Gao Yang didn't know which race this tribe belongs to, but only knew that the name of the tribe was Akuri. Gao Yang asked the chief in the tribe, that is, the oldest person in the tribe. Unfortunately, the chief did not know which ethnic group they belong to.

The Akuri tribe does not even have the concept of race. Only when they meet a tribe like themselves can they have the opportunity to intermarry.

In the extremely primitive living conditions, the mortality rate of the Akuri tribe can be imagined. In the three years since Gao Yang went to the tribe, four children were born and three people died. The oldest one looked like he was five or six years old, while the youngest one was just two days old. The oldest one in the entire tribe, the chief of the tribe, seemed to be in his forties.

It’s not that Gao Yang hadn’t asked the chief about his age, but that the tribe chief himself didn’t know how old he was. He only remembered that he seemed to have lived through more than forty rainy seasons.

Gao Yang has a good language learning ability, and the language of the Akuri tribe is very simple and has very few vocabulary. It took only three or four months to communicate with people without any problems, but Gao Yang can get too little information from these primitive people.

Gao Yang still doesn't know which country he is in or where he is. He only knows that he is at the intersection of tropical savanna and rainforest. He walks north for two or three days, and it is a savanna. He walks south for two or three days, and it is a tropic rainforest. Gao Yang is not familiar with the terrain of Africa, and he is completely unable to analyze where he is from the terrain characteristics.

It has been three years, and Gao Yang is always thinking about going home, but in the past three years, Gao Yang has never encountered any trace of civilization.

The reason why they are far away from the civilized world is that the Akuri tribe migrated to avoid war and migrated to places far away from civilization.

The Akuri tribe had also visited people from the civilized world and brought them some modern things. However, later, war began. Those who had guns would kill anyone they saw, and even just for fun. After the Akuri tribe was killed three people while hunting, the Akuri tribe began to migrate continuously.

In the past few years, neither the Akuri tribe nor Gao Yang met anyone else, but Gao Yang also cut off all contact with the outside world. He had explored in four directions and walked for seven or eight days at the farthest time, but in the end he had nothing. Now, it is impossible for Gao Yang to find the river when he came.

During the three years in the Akuri tribe, Gao Yang would go out to hunt with the people in the tribe every day. There were only five people in the entire tribe, including Gao Yang, who could hunt. The remaining women and children would collect all edible plants and insects. If there was no harvest, the entire tribe would have to starve.

Thanks to the exchange with the civilized world a few years ago, there were iron tools in the Akuri tribe. So far, the Akuri tribe still has six short knives and four spears. Although it is very crude, it is very useful. According to the chief, these are all gifts given to them by some weird people with very white skin.

But when Akuri hunts, he mainly uses bows and arrows. Knife and spear only complete the last attack, and even has few chances to complete the last attack, because most of the time, if you don’t use the spear, your prey will die.

Now, Gao Yang is tracking an antelope with the other four people in the tribe who were poisoned.

After the dry season, most of the swamps that were originally spread across the grasslands had dried up, and only a few swamps still had water. These swamps have become the water source for all nearby animals. Hunting has become much easier than during the rainy season. As long as you guard the side of the swamp with the threat of beasts, you can easily shoot your prey with poisonous arrows.

The antelope that Gao Yang and the others were chasing was shot next to the swamp.

The power of the bows and arrows they used was negligible, and their main function was the poison of arrows applied to the arrows.

The poison of arrows was extracted from a beetle's larvae. Although this toxin is fatal, it takes a little longer to attack. If it is hunting prey with a slightly larger size, it will take at least two or three hours to kill it. The antelope that Gao Yang and his team shot this time were too large, about 200 kilograms. Although they were hit by two poisonous arrows, it took at least four or five hours to kill the antelope.

After being caught in an arrow, the antelope will run wildly, and it is impossible for humans to catch up with the speed, and the poison of the arrow cannot kill the antelope in a short period of time. Therefore, the hunting method of the Akuri tribe is to shoot the prey and follow the trail of the prey.

The distance to track prey is long and short, and it is normal to chase dozens of kilometers. In short, you have to keep chasing until the prey dies and is found by them. Therefore, the hunting skills of the Akuri tribe are not very good, but the ability to track and chase and run is extremely good.

The people of the Akuri tribe can tell from the chaotic footprints that were left by their prey, and can also accurately find out the direction of the prey's escape from several broken grasses. They can even use the information revealed in the footprints or traces to know how long the prey will fall.

After spending nearly three years together, Gao Yang also mastered the unique skills of identifying traces, but when he was hunting with the tribe chief, he did not have the chance to perform.

From the early morning to the morning, after shooting the antelope, it was not until noon that Gao Yang and the other five were trotting all the way to track their prey. Although the speed was not fast, Gao Yang estimated that he had run at least thirty or forty kilometers. He was almost at the limit, but the four people in the Akuri tribe did not feel anything.

In the past, let alone let Gao Yang run thirty or forty kilometers, even if he walks three kilometers, it would have been exhausted by Gao Yang. However, the potential that people can stimulate under the pressure of survival is amazing. At least Gao Yang is now running thirty or forty kilometers in one breath without any pressure.

Finally, the chief running in front stopped, looked at the ground for a few glances, and pointed in a direction.

"It's no longer possible now, just where we go and find it."

After hearing the chief's words, Gao Yang was very happy. Because he shot two arrows of antelope, his pursuit today was much shorter than he expected, and it would always be very happy to end earlier. You should know that you have to carry a meat on your back and walk the same distance.

Gao Yang gasped and walked forward after the chief. After walking about a kilometre or two, they found the target.

Just about two or three hundred meters ahead, an antelope stood there, staggering from time to time. Although it had not fallen yet, it was only a matter of a moment.

Gao Yang followed closely behind the chief who was in the lead, happily waved the hunting knife in his hand and rushed towards the antelope that was about to end. They had to hurry up so that the antelope would not be snatched by a lion or a leopard.
