Chapter 41 Hunting Experience

"Big Horn, from now on, you don't have to work in the fields. You will be responsible for the tribe's breeding every day. This is very important and it affects whether the entire tribe can eat meat."

Jiang Xuan stood in front of Da Jiao and asked solemnly: "Do you have the confidence to do it well?"

Da Jiao thought about the big bugs in the caves behind him, then looked at the colorful ducks in the big cage next to him, and the fish in the pond in the distance.

A sense of mission arose spontaneously, his back gradually straightened, and the expression on his face became firm.

"Don't worry, Chief. I will make sure everyone in the tribe can eat meat!"

"Well, I was right about you!"

Jiang Xuan patted Da Jiao's shoulder and said, "You can come to me if you encounter any difficulties. If I can solve it, I will definitely help you solve it."

"If you feel too busy, you can also come to me and I will find someone to help you."

“No, no.” Da Jiao waved his hands hastily and said confidently, “I am enough.”

Jiang Xuan smiled and didn't force it.

For now, it is definitely more than enough for Dajiao to take care of these insects, colorful ducks, and the fish pond by himself.

But when the scale of breeding becomes larger and larger, he will definitely be too busy to handle it, and he will have to find someone to help.

"In the next two days, I will go to the mountain to catch a few big bamboo rats and bring them back to raise. You can dig a cave specifically for the bamboo rats to live in."

Dajiao's eyes lit up. The bamboo rat is a good thing, with a lot of meat.

"Don't worry, Chief. I will definitely dig the cave well."

Jiang Xuan nodded, then turned and left to find Chishao and the others to go into the mountains to catch bamboo rats.

Whenever Jiang Xuan went into the mountains to hunt before, he always brought Shiqiu with him. This time, he left Shiqiu and Nanxing to look after the tribe and took Uncaria rhynchophylla into the mountains.

Inside the bamboo house, Nanxing said aggrievedly, "Why do I have to stay in the tribe every time?"

Uncaria smiled and said, "Who made you the youngest? Keeping you in the tribe is for your own good."

"I am also a warrior!" Nanxing pointed at a green horizontal line on his face unconvinced.

Jiang Xuan comforted her at the right time: "Okay, okay, I will definitely take you there next time."

"Chief, you can't lie to me."

A happy smile appeared on Nanxing's face, and it was obvious that he cared very much about going into the mountains to hunt.

"I'm sure I won't lie to you."

"Well, Shi Qiu and I will take good care of the tribe."

After pacifying Nanxing, Jiang Xuan said to Uncaria: "Although the people from the Mosquito Tribe have not appeared again during this period, you must not be careless. You must be careful and cautious. When you encounter danger, escape to the foot of the stone mountain through the tunnel as soon as possible and seek the protection of the Vine God."

"Don't worry, chief. I will be careful." Shi Qiu behaved calmly.

"Okay, let's go into the mountains."

Jiang Xuan, Uncaria Rhynchophylla and Chishao gathered all their tools and left the bamboo house. This time, they headed to the forest in the north.

"Chief, catch a few more big bamboo rats!" Nanxing shouted from behind.

"no problem!"

Jiang Xuan agreed and entered the dense jungle.

Many people know that bamboo rats like to live in bamboo forests, but they don’t know that bamboo rats do not live in bamboo forests where large bamboos grow.

The bamboo forest where the Bijiangteng tribe lives is full of large bamboos that are thicker than bowls. Bamboo rats don't like to eat them, so naturally there are no bamboo rats in that bamboo forest.

What the giant bamboo rat really likes to eat is small bamboos that are as thick as a thumb. It likes to eat them all, whether they are main trunks, bamboo shoots, or bamboo roots.

Generally, bamboo rats are likely to live on hillsides where small bamboos grow densely.

However, this kind of bamboo grows very densely, and it is not an easy task to get into the bamboo forest and dig the bamboo rat out of its hole.

Just the crisscrossing and tangled bamboo roots on the ground are enough to give people a headache.

It is obviously not a wise idea to use a primitive tool like a bone hoe to dig out large bamboo rats from deep holes in a land covered with bamboo roots.

But it doesn’t matter. In addition to eating small bamboos, bamboo rats also like to eat some tall wild grasses, such as Miscanthus.

Miscanthus is a tall plant with rhizomes and young shoots rich in water and nutrients. It is one of the favorite plants of bamboo rats.

They usually dig holes to build nests in places where Miscanthus grows in patches. After eating the Miscanthus in one patch, they will move to the next place where Miscanthus grows, continue digging holes, and continue eating.

This time when Jiang Xuan entered the mountains, his target was the sunny slopes where Miscanthus grew in large quantities, because in such places, the probability of finding giant bamboo rats was higher.

In the vast primeval forest, three people were walking cautiously.

They stood in a triangle so that they could see clearly what was happening around them.

“Ah…”

In the distance, a giant bear seemed to be full. It stood next to a big tree and scratched itself hard. After it felt comfortable, it let out a deafening roar, scaring the nearby birds and beasts away in panic.

Jiang Xuan took a look at the giant bear. Its size, like a small iron tower, was intimidating enough.

"If I remember correctly, if you want to become a five-color warrior, you have to hunt a wild bear, which is too difficult." Jiang Xuan sighed in a low voice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The wild bear is a more terrifying predator than this giant bear and is the true tyrant of the forest.

The wild bear weighs more than 5,000 kilograms, runs very fast, has extremely sharp teeth and claws, and has terrifying attack power. The most fatal thing is that despite its large size, it can actually climb trees.

Jiang Xuan found it hard to imagine how strong a person must be to hunt such a terrifying beast alone.

"Don't provoke it, just avoid it."

Chishao was more cautious and had no time to sigh. In her mind, the most important thing was to bring Jiang Xuan and Uncaria Rhyncho back safely. Whether or not they could find the giant bamboo rat was secondary.

It was autumn now and food was abundant in the forest. Under normal circumstances, giant bears would not actively attack people, but Chishao did not dare to take the risk because one had to be prepared for the worst.

The three of them quickly bypassed the giant bear and continued forward.

Along the way, they encountered many terrible predators. Fortunately, these predators generally would not actively attack people, and Chishao could always discover and avoid them in time.

Walking in the primitive jungle is so dangerous. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

If you want to live longer, you must have enough knowledge about the forest and the animals and plants in the forest, be careful, and sometimes have a little luck.

A few hours later, they saw a hillside covered with reeds in the distance.

This hillside is halfway up the mountain, and from afar you can see patches of silvergrass swaying in the wind.

The three of them stood at the foot of the mountain and climbed up a huge pine tree, all the way to the treetops, carefully observing the Miscanthus on the hillside.

Chishao observed and taught Jiang Xuan and Uncaria: "Generally, where bamboo rats are active, they will eat the roots of Miscanthus, and the stems and leaves of Miscanthus will slowly dry up."

"If you find a large area of ​​green Miscanthus, but a small area of ​​Miscanthus has just withered, there are probably bamboo rats in that area."

"But you have to look for ones with leaves that have just withered. If the leaves are completely dry and yellow, even if there are bamboo rats, they may have already moved to another nest."

Jiang Xuan and Gou Teng nodded. This kind of hunting experience is very valuable. It would be difficult to figure it out on one's own without anyone teaching.

"Sister, look at that piece, it's very similar to what you described!"

Jiang Xuan had sharp eyes and after searching for a while, he found a different kind of Miscanthus.

Although the Miscanthus were still green, their leaves were curled and showed obvious signs of withering.

Chishao's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, there should be big bamboo rats there. Let's go and take a look."

They remembered the location of the small patch of Miscanthus, climbed down from the tree, and continued moving in that direction.
