Chapter 495 Wildebeest and Ostrich
"Hurry, grab it!"
On the prairie, soldiers of the Mang tribe were catching antelope. They caught antelope not for eating, but for domestication.
Therefore, adult antelope, they don’t care much about it, they want to catch the cubs of the antelope.
Not only antelope, but also zebras and even giraffes are within the scope of the capture.
This place is a grassland, and many traps that can be set in the forest cannot be used. Therefore, it is a little more difficult to catch the living than in the Southern Wilderness.
"Catch one!"
A soldier hid in the grass and rushed forward while an antelope cub ran past. After grabbing it, he showed a bright smile on his face.
The little antelope kept kicking his legs in his arms, making a "baa" call for help, but the big antelope did not dare to come.
The soldier quickly tied up the legs of the little antelope with a rope and took them back.
The other soldiers are also veteran hunting players. Facing a large group of antelope, they can always find opportunities to catch a few.
In the end, they caught six little antelope, five and a half-large antelope, and happily brought them back to the tribe's new settlement.
Halfway through the road, one of the soldiers suddenly discovered a group of different animals in the distance.
"That group is a buffalo?"
In the distance, there were more than a dozen animals with strong bodies with cow horns walking by, like bison, not like bison.
"No, the bison is much bigger than them, they look so weird."
"Catch a few heads and go back and ask the leader, will you know?"
"Yes, yes, grab a few heads and go back."
The most exciting thing for everyone in the hunting team is that they will encounter all kinds of wild beasts they have never seen before. Hunting these wild beasts will make them feel accomplished.
Soon, more than fifty hunting team soldiers left two people to guard the little antelope, while the others, holding various weapons, quietly touched the dozen animals that looked like bison from the grass.
The dozen strange animals were very alert. After hearing the sounds in the grass, they raised their heads and looked around.
However, because they have never seen people, they are not very aware of people's defense.
If predators such as lions, hyenas, cheetahs, etc. are coming, their vigilance will increase a lot, and they may even run away immediately.
The warriors of the Mang tribe quietly formed a circle of encirclement and then suddenly took action.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Dozens of short spears flew towards the animals, and several fell to the ground on the spot, while the rest were injured or frightened and immediately began to run away.
They run very fast, as agile as an antelope.
Five of the dozen animals were caught, and the others ran away.
The hunting team soldiers happily carried the new prey and brought the little antelope back to the tribe's settlement.
Near the settlement, a large group of bison and rhino were leisurely eating grass, and did not hide when they saw people coming. Because of the relationship between the Bison King and the Rhino for half a month, these two groups already belonged to the Rhino tribe and would not run away without being tamed.
The rich harvests of the hunting team soldiers made the people who stayed in the tribe smile on their faces.
Because of these prey, everyone can eat them.
"Chief, come and see, a new prey."
Chen Bei was called over. After he got closer, he realized that the hunting team brought back was wildebeest.
Wild horses are a very strange species. They look like cows, but they are a little smaller than cows and have two big horns on their heads.
But their faces are horse faces, with mane on the back, long tails, and a flowing goatee on their chin.
This species looks like a bison from a distance, but when you look closer, you think it looks like a horse, which is very strange.
Usually, wildebeests usually live in small groups and forage for food.
But in the dry season, they will spontaneously gather together, forming an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions of wildebeests, uniting together, traveling long distances, and looking for new playgrounds.
Chen Bei only watched that scene on TV in his previous life, but now he has a chance to witness it with his own eyes.
He circled around these dead wildebeests for a few times and said, "This kind of prey is called wildebeests. They like to live in groups. If you are lucky, you can even see wildebeests gathering all over the mountains."
The hunting team soldiers' eyes lit up when they heard this. Wildebeests were everywhere in the mountains. Wouldn't they hunt casually?
One of the soldiers asked the most concerned question: "Chief, what kind of wildebeest can you eat?"
Chenbeidao: "I haven't eaten it, but other beasts can prey on them, so they should be edible."
"It's good to eat, then we'll be relieved."
The young soldiers of the hunting team smiled and immediately dragged the wildebeests to the riverside, peeled and washed them, then cut off the meat, roasted some and cooked some in the copper pot brought by the Mang tribe.
Because the journey is long, the pottery cauldron is too heavy and fragile, the ones brought this time are all copper pots, which can be regarded as the welfare of these first generation pioneers of the rhinoceros horn continent.
"Crazy..."
The blood of wildebeests flowed into the river, attracting many carnivorous fish, including crocodiles. They swam to the shore, then opened their bloody mouths and rushed fiercely towards the soldiers of the hunting team.
"Hehe, I'm waiting for you!"
The Mang tribe lives by the river and encounters too many facts of big fish attacks. How could people who wash wildebeests not beware of it?
They temporarily put down half-washed wildebeests, and used bronze spears and other weapons to fight crocodiles and other carnivorous fish by the water.
After the fishing team discovered the situation here, they rushed over and joined the battle.
Soon, three big crocodiles and two other big carnivorous fish were killed by the hunting team and the fishing team's soldiers, becoming the new food for the Ruo Tribe.
On that day, the food in the Mang tribe was very rich, and Chenbei also tasted the meat of wildebeest.
I don’t know if the cooking method is wrong, it tastes old and difficult to chew, and the taste is just that. Chen Bei is quite disappointed with this.
However, wildebeests have strong adaptability and reproductive ability, so you can try breeding.
As for whether it tastes good or not, Chenbei believes that there must be something wrong with the cooking method. If you slowly develop the cooking method in the future, it will always become delicious.
As the days passed, the Mang tribe lived in different places, and the members of the Mang tribe quickly adapted to the lifestyle here.
The hunting routes of the hunting team gradually extended further.
On this day, they brought back a few big birds to Chenbei, big birds taller than humans.
"Chief, leader, see what we have caught."
A hunting team soldier ran to Chenbei's door excitedly and woke Chenbei who was taking a nap in the thatched hut.
"What good thing was caught? So excited?"
Chen Bei was a little helpless because it was a new environment and there were too many things I didn’t know, so people always came to ask him.
"We caught a big bird that couldn't fly, but ran very fast and was covered in meat. Our head said it was very suitable for breeding."
"Oh? Then I'm going to have a look."
Chen Bei walked out of the thatched hut and followed the hunting team soldiers to the open space in front of the gathering place.
There were several big birds tied up on the open space, which were indeed huge and looked full of flesh.
"Ostrich! You actually caught the ostrich!"
Chen Bei didn't expect that the big bird mentioned by the soldiers of the hunting team were ostrich, which was indeed very suitable for breeding.
Chapter completed!
