Three days later, the ice and snow melted almost, and the hunting team of the Mang tribe set off on time.

This was the first time the hunting team of the Mang tribe went out to hunt. Chen Bei was worried, so he walked with them.

Before departure, the witch should draw totem patterns for important members of the hunting team. It is said that in this way, you can get the protection of the totem god while hunting.

Qingzhu held a wooden bowl containing paint in her left hand and a beast brush in her right hand, and drew totem patterns on Chen Bei's face.

While painting, she recited a bitter and difficult mantra in her mouth, which seemed to be some kind of ancient blessing mantra.

Her hands were very stable, with almost no pauses, and she finished it in one go.

After finishing the drawing, Qingzhu hesitated for a while and whispered: "I did a divination last night. You may encounter danger this time when you go out to hunt, so be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Qingzhu nodded slightly, turned around and began to draw totem patterns for the clouds. She had already told Chen Bei about the results of divination, and that she could only do so much.

Others in the hunting team are not qualified to let the witch draw the totem patterns by hand, and they are usually drawn by the elders of the family in advance.

After Qingzhu finished painting the totem on Yun’s face, she said, “May the God of Totem bless you and return with a full load.”

Chen Bei carried his prepared hunting equipment and whispered: "Go!"

The hunting team and ten people carried their own things and turned around and walked towards the forest. They were nervous and excited, but not afraid.

Because they believe that after the blessing of the witch, they will return safely.

This is the power of faith.

Because the hunting team is all totem warriors, they are very fast when they are on the way, and in a blink of an eye, they have disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

Qingzhu put down the wooden bowl and took out a piece of broken animal bone from the animal skin bag with traces of burning flames on it.

This animal bone is used for divination. This is a very ancient divination method. During divination, you silently recite spells and burn the animal bones with flames. By observing the shape of cracks that appear after the animal bones are burned, the results are obtained.

"Whether the disaster can be avoided this time depends on how the leader chooses."

Qingzhu sighed slightly, put away the tortoise shell, picked up the wooden bowl, and turned around and walked back.

...

On the other side, Lie brought the fishing team's men to the river with a large number of fishing tools.

The one who was with them was the elder Mu. Because there were many unknown dangers hidden in the river, Chenbei asked the elders to come and stare at them and don't let them do anything dangerous.

"Elder, please sit down."

Lie looked for a relatively flat piece of wood by the river beach and asked the elders to sit and watch them fish.

After all, the elder is old and has no totem power, so he can't stand his legs and feet after standing for a long time.

The elder sat down and said to Lie: "The leader said that this river is not allowed to go into the water until we are familiar with it. We can only fish with tools on the shore."

"The reason why I am so old bone to stare at you is that I am afraid that the newly awakened totem warrior will do reckless things and happen to danger if he relies on his totem power."

Lie swears: "Don't worry, elder, if anyone dares to do anything, I will definitely slap him hard, and then hunger him a few times until I have a memory."

The elder nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go and do your business. This is the first time fishing this year. There are new totem warriors, keep a close eye on it."

"good."

Lie began to direct the fishing team to start working. Since they could not get into the water, they could only dig some earthworms, catch some insects and other things as bait, fish, put fish baskets, and cast nets. They had not learned it yet, so they could only find a place to try it a few more times.

...

Let’s talk about the hunting team. After entering the forest, the newly awakened totem warriors were particularly excited, wishing they could run and scream excitedly.

It was not until Yun glared at them fiercely that they restrained a little and followed the old warrior honestly.

Chenbei came out this time not only to take them to hunt, but more importantly, the salt in the tribe was almost gone, so he had to go to the salt flat to fill the salt soil and bring it back to cook salt.

So, Chenbei led them all the way forward, and only hunted a few small prey along the way. Everyone continued to rush after they were full.

This made the new totem warriors a little uncomfortable. They obviously saw prey several times, but they couldn't fight, but kept rushing.

"Captain, where are we going? Why not hunt?"

A new totem warrior couldn't help asking Yun.

Yun was actually quite puzzled, but since Chen Bei didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to follow Chen Bei on his way.

"Shut up, we will go wherever the leader goes. Let's ask around again, I won't take you out next time."

After being raped by Yun, the new totem warrior shrank his neck, feeling a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to ask again.

I kept rushing, from morning to evening, and finally arrived at the salt flat.

When Chen Bei was still very excited when he saw the white salt soil again, he was all salt!

There are several stone mountains next to the salt soil, and there are not much vegetation on the mountain, but many sunken stone caves are formed at the foot of the mountain.

"We will camp here tonight, Yun, and we divided two people to pick up dry firewood, and the others went with me to pick up a few preys for dinner."

"yes."

Yun lit two new totem warriors to pick up dry firewood. The two of them were unhappy and rushed for a day. After finally having the chance to hunt, they went to pick up firewood again.

However, even if they are not satisfied, they can only endure it. Who made them not the captain?

The vegetation near the salt soil is sparse and there is not much prey unless it happens to meet a mammal that replenishes salt.

Chenbei took the totem soldiers to a place with dense vegetation, and then scattered in a fan shape to look for prey.

"Let your footsteps lighter and breathe lighter. Pay attention to observation and listen to the movements around you with your ears. The prey often makes some unusual sounds..."

As Yun walked, he whispered to the new totem warriors.

“Squat down.”

Chen Bei suddenly stopped and waved his hand to the back, asking everyone to squat down.

Yun and others looked closely and saw a mammal in front of them eating grass.

It has brown-red hair all over, short horns on its head and four small hooves. It looks a bit like a deer, but it is obviously different from a deer.

"This is a squid, and we have dinner tonight."

Yun licked his lips and pulled out the short spear behind him.

Chenbeidao: "Around it quietly, be careful, don't let it run away."

Chen Bei waved his hand and the totem warriors who had been trained quietly dispersed and surrounded the red beanie in a fan shape.

After everyone was in place, Chenbei stood up and threw the stone spear in his hand first.

"Swoosh!"

The stone spear flew towards the red deer with a whistling sound. The red deer was shocked and jumped up suddenly, several feet above the ground, and actually avoided the stone spear.

But at this time, before it landed, several stone spears had flew towards it, and it could not hide at all...

After a while, Yun dragged the red deer, weighing about sixty or seventy kilograms, and the totem warriors were very excited. After all, they participated in the hunting for the first time, although they were just a small prey.

The fire had already begun in the cave. The cloud skillfully peeled off the skin of the red condorni and removed its internal organs. The edible tribes such as the heart, liver, and kidney were skewed together with wooden sticks that were scraped clean skin.

Then the whole deer was also worn with a large wooden stick and set it on the fire to roast it.

Before long, the aroma of meat spreads, and everyone is hungry, and while swallowing, waiting for the meat to be roasted.

"Chief, you eat first."

Yun respectfully handed Chenbei the roasted heart, liver and kidneys, which was also the privilege of the leader.

The internal organs are rich in nutrition and are generally given to the people with the highest status in the hunting team.

Chen Bei was not polite, so he took it and bit it.

“Default salt.”

Maybe I am used to eating salt in winter, but I am a little uncomfortable with it when I eat food without salt.
