Chapter 371: Arresting the Deer



Many trees have become bare, just like the stripped hemp lying in the grass by the river in the Qingque tribe.

The earth is dry and yellow.

Among these withered yellow grasses, there are occasional hints of green. There are always some frost-resistant grasses that fight the wind and frost here.

The fighters who faced the wind and frost were not defeated by the severe cold, but instead suffered the poisonous mouths of rough, green-dyed tongues.

Uncle Deer is a relatively unruly deer. We must take advantage of the last opportunity to lead the herd of deer outside for a walk, otherwise it will be difficult to go out again when heavy snow falls.

And they don't want to freeze in the snow.

Uncle Deer lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of grass. Looking at the lucky general and the five little lucky ones who were mixed in with his group of subordinates, he fluttered his head and shook his ears.

Perhaps because they have been together for a long time, Fu Jiang and his old rival, Uncle Deer, have become tacitly acquainted with each other. Sensing something, he no longer sticks his butt out to dig in the vole hole, but turns around and pounces on Uncle Deer.

Uncle Deer was already accustomed to Fu Jiang's moves, so he calmly lowered his head and used his twiggy horns to fight against Fu Jiang.

The two playing creatures did not notice that at a distance, someone was quietly looking at them through the dry grass, with excitement in his eyes.

Of course they were excited.

Finding and storing food in the last moments before the heavy snow falls is something that all animals, including humans, need to do.

The difference is that some animals choose to eat the food in exchange for fat, and rely on hibernation to resist the long winter, while others, like humans, store the food they find and eat it bit by bit.

As members of the human race, the grassroots are naturally no exception.

Today, he and his three companions were looking for edible food nearby.

Winter is here, everything is depressed, and many fruits that cannot be stored have disappeared. It is not easy to find abundant food at this time of year.

Cao Gen and his three companions searched for a long time but didn't find much.

Just as they were feeling this way, a miracle happened and a large group of deer appeared in their sight.

Cao Gen and several of his companions looked at the group of deer with their eyes wide open. After being surprised, they were filled with great joy.

If they could get these deer back to the tribe, they wouldn't have to worry about food this winter.

Cao Gen, filled with surprise and joy, looked at the herd of deer and couldn't help but touch his hair, where there were still some ashes that had not been blown away by the wind.

When he was leaving here, the oldest man in the tribe sprinkled something on his head, saying that with this thing, he would be blessed by the gods.

The grassroots have always believed this because the elders often do this and they have never seen the gods bless their tribe. Otherwise, why would the population of the tribe never increase?

But that was all in the past. Today, Cao Gen really believed what the old man said. If it wasn’t for the blessing of God, how could it be such a coincidence that he would encounter such a large group of deer when heavy snow was about to fall?

A tribe naturally would not consist of just a few of them. There were also some other people scattered in groups of three or two in places to the south that could not be seen.

The four of them were the ones who left the team the farthest north.

After a brief excitement, Cao Gen prepared to send someone to the south to notify other people in the tribe to come over.

There were so many deer, and even if the four of them rushed forward, they wouldn't be able to catch too many.

It would be better to call other people in the tribe over and work together to gain more.

However, before it was implemented, the grassroots changed their minds.

Because this group of deer have turned around and are walking back, and at a pretty fast speed.

The four of them were quite far away from the others, and by the time they called people over, the herd of deer had already run away.

That way they won't be able to catch anything.

Holding wooden spears and stones, they followed the deer and ran north for a long distance as if they had discovered something. Only then did the deer stop.

After hiding in the grass to rest for a while and just about to take action, Cao Gen made a new discovery.

Wolf!

There are wolves among the deer!

And there's more than one!

No wonder the deer ran away just now, it turned out they were discovered by the wolves.

As for when this group of wolves rushed out and into the deer herd, Cao Gen and the others did not notice and did not think much about it.

Ferocious beasts like wolves are not easy to deal with, especially wolf packs, so Cao Gen and his men lay dormant again, tensed up and waited for the wolves to attack the deer before they went out to pick up the spoils.

However, what surprised them was that the group of wolves mixed in with the deer did not immediately attack the deer so close to them, and the two sides actually lived in peace.

Shuba scratched his hair, somewhat confused about the situation and why this happened.

Are these wolves not hungry?

Even if the wolves were not hungry, these deer should have run for their lives when they encountered the wolves. Why are they now disregarding the wolves?

After looking at it in this strange and slightly bizarre way for a while, the situation finally took a gratifying turn.

The guy who was obviously the leader of the pack couldn't help it anymore and pounced on the deer.

However, the grassroots were still somewhat puzzled. Normally, wild beasts would prey on the weak, but this time the wolf attacked the most powerful deer.

The next moment, something happened that made them drop their jaws!

As expected, the leader deer should have run away, but instead lowered its head to welcome the leader wolf's fierce pounce.

The key point is that after a while of fighting, the herbivorous leader deer is still the one who has the upper hand.

And while the two were fighting, the other wolves and deer were just doing their own things as if nothing had happened.

When did the wolf become so weak? When did the deer become so strong?

What the hell is this?!

He always thought that he was the smartest grassroots in the tribe except for the old people, but for the first time he felt that his brain was not enough.

The tribe where Cao Gen is located is not any of the tribes that the Qingque tribe is familiar with, but a new tribe.

If the tribes that often come into contact with the Green Bird tribe saw such a thing, they would not be as surprised as they were.

He waited for a while in astonishment, and seeing that the wolf could not gain the upper hand and there was no hope of picking up the grass roots, he decided to help the wolf. He worked together with the wolf to kill the deer and then divide the venison.

The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" doesn't really apply here.

Even after coming out, Cao Gen had already mumbled some words that the wolves could not understand, stating his position, but the wolf, who had been bullied in the fight with the deer, immediately stood up and, with the other five wolves, raised his fur towards them, bared his teeth and made threatening noises to protect his food.
