Chapter 3 The Magical Slingshot

A group of friends were stunned, screaming and covering their eyes as they ran into the cave. The children had never left the cave for more than a kilometer, nor had they participated in hunting, so how could they have seen such a terrible scene? Only two or three brave boys continued to watch, including Luo Chong.

Luo Chong was actually very scared. Although he had killed many enemies in his previous life, that was in his previous life. With his current small body, he was not even as tall as the legs of the terror bird. Going up to fight would definitely be courting death. He still had this self-knowledge.

The two adults who ran back with the leader saw that the leader was dead, so they quickly threw away the eggs, turned around and ran to the edge of the jungle and climbed up a tree.

They were lucky. When the three of them ran back together, the leader shouted the loudest, and he had a green feather crown on his head. He was the most conspicuous target among the three people, and he took away all the hatred.

Two people climbed up the tree, and the leader was dead. The terror bird lost its target, but the child's scream attracted its attention. The terror bird turned its head to the cave and saw several people in the cave, so it rushed into the cave.

The

sharp scream scared away the two friends who were standing at the cave entrance with Luo Chong. The pregnant woman in the cave ran to the cave entrance and started pushing a spherical boulder to block the cave, but they were not strong enough and pushed too slowly. Luo Chong hurried forward to help.

"Come here and push the stone."

The boulder began to roll slowly, but the speed of the terror bird was also very fast. Luo Chong hurriedly called for help from his friends, but the children were still huddled in the haystack and trembling, and some were crying loudly in fear. In the end, only the two brave boys came to help. Several people worked together to push the boulder, and the speed of the boulder rolling increased a little. The

heavy

footsteps were getting closer and closer. Just when the cave entrance was only 30 centimeters away from being blocked, a huge bird's beak stretched out from the gap in the cave entrance with a click.

A sharp sound rang out in the cave, and the children in the haystack were frightened and screamed again.

"Shut up, whoever cries again will be thrown out." Luo Chong yelled at the children in the haystack.

Although the children didn't understand what Luo Chong said, they were still frightened by his fierce appearance. The haystack suddenly became quiet. The children with tears in their eyes didn't dare to cry out loud, and their bodies twitched. Luo Chong was very satisfied with this effect. He and several adults quietly hid behind the huge rock at the entrance of the cave, using their bodies to hold the rock.

For a while, the cave was completely silent. No one made a sound, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

The moa could only stick its mouth through the gap. It was impossible to get in. The moa's neck was very strong. Even an adult saber-toothed tiger would not dare to provoke it easily. The huge bird's beak could easily peck the saber-toothed tiger's neck, but that was a downward force. It couldn't use its neck to push the boulder away.

The moa cackled a few more times, but it still couldn't get in. It had no choice but to give up and turn around to search for its target outside.

Hearing its footsteps leaving, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The children wanted to speak again, but Luo Chong glared at them and held them back. Then Luo Chong raised a finger in front of his mouth to silence them, but when he looked at the children, there was only confusion in their eyes. They didn't know what this meant.

Luo Chong frowned and made a gesture of covering their mouths with his hands. This time they understood it. Several children followed suit and covered their mouths with their own hands.

This is human instinct and nature. Children always imitate the adults around them, such as a little girl who secretly wears her mother's high heels. They think that person is very powerful, so they can't help but imitate and learn. The fierce side of Luo Chong just now has shocked them, and he always does things that others can't understand, so in the eyes of those children, Luo Chong is very powerful.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Luo Chong quietly walked to the gap at the entrance of the cave and looked out.

The terror bird had not left yet. He might be looking for the other two egg thieves, but the two guys were still in the tree. The terror bird rushed over and jumped up to peck at them, but the two guys climbed very high and the terror bird could not reach them. Later, he ignored them and turned to the leader's body and began to peck at the leader's body.

Luo Chong observed for a while and decided to keep the terror bird. This guy now eats human flesh and knows where their tribe lives. If he doesn't get rid of it, it is hard to guarantee that it will come here to find food when it is hungry. Who knows how many people will die by then.

But there are no weapons now. Spears don't exist. Using a wooden stick to fight hard is courting death. Throwing stones from a long distance, if they are small, they have no killing power, and if they are big, they can't be thrown. Luo Chong looked at the terror bird again. The two long legs made Luo Chong's eyes light up, and instantly reminded him of an ancient tool for capturing prisoners.

Yes, it is a sling. In fact, there are two types of weapons called slings. One is the most common one, with a slightly wider cloth in the middle of a rope, which can hold a stone. Then, by shaking it a few times in your hand, the stone is thrown out through centrifugal force, which can make the stone gain a greater initial velocity and increase the impact force.

What Luo Chong is going to do is another one. A stone is tied to each end of a rope. With both hands, the rope is rotated in the middle. The stones at both ends will straighten the rope through centrifugal force, and it will rotate like a helicopter propeller. Then, the rotating sling is thrown at the cylindrical target. The two stones will quickly wrap around the target with the rope several times, tying up the target. Luo Chong's target is the two legs of the terror bird.

This type of sling is generally used to capture prisoners, because it will not cause harm to the target, but only serves as a restraint, and does not require a lot of practice, and is also very simple to make.

Luo Chong quickly looked for materials. There were stones in the fire pit in the middle of the cave, which were used to surround the fire. Luo Chong picked two pieces that were slightly larger than his fist, but he couldn't find a rope. The vines he collected in the morning were still outside the cave, and those vines were not soft enough and could not be used.

All the adults and children in the cave were looking at him, not knowing what he was doing. This child had been doing inexplicable things all day.

Luo Chong gritted his teeth, glanced at his friends who were still naked, and ruthlessly took off the snake skin that was used as a loincloth. For future safety, the face and other things, let's put it aside for now. The snake skin was three or four meters long, and there was more than two meters in the middle with a stone tied on one side, which was enough.

With weapons and equipment ready, Luo Chong carried a simple slingshot and drilled out of the gap in the cave. A pregnant woman wanted to hold Luo Chong, but unfortunately she didn't hold him. She didn't dare to shout, for fear of attracting the terror bird back again, so she could only look outside anxiously to see what Luo Chong was going to do.

Many friends also curiously gathered at the cave entrance to watch. A row of heads were stuffed in the gap from top to bottom, clearly wanting to be the spectators.
