Chapter 705 The Joy of Harvest



The leader of the Sheep Tribe was particularly happy. In fact, he had been living a happy life in the past few years.

But the happiest days are these two days.

Well, there are always two days like this every year that make everyone in the Sheep Tribe very excited.

Because this is the time of the annual big harvest for their tribe.

The leader of the Sheep Tribe and his people have been guarding here for several days.

Until now, there has been no sight of the rushing sheep gathering together, however, he and other people in the tribe are still waiting here patiently.

Because they firmly believe that the flocks will come.

This belief is not without basis. Over the years, these flocks of sheep have passed through here every year and have never failed to do so.

It is necessary to come early and wait, because when these large herds of sheep pass by, they will usually be over in less than a day.

If they didn't guard here in advance, a huge gain that was extremely important to the tribe would most likely be missed.

Not far from them, there were some huge grizzly bears, wolves and other creatures.

These extremely ferocious guys gathered together at this time without any conflict. They all waited here quietly, like a group of guests waiting for the banquet to officially start.

There are not too many people from the Sheep Tribe guarding here, and there are even fewer than before.

This is because many people in the tribe stayed there to take care of the sheep.

The flocks of sheep in the tribe are growing bigger and bigger, and more and more people are needed to take care of them. This should be a happy thing, but now for the people of the sheep tribe who are about to have a feast, these flocks of sheep have become a happy burden.

Drive the tribe's sheep here, and then when the migrating sheep come over, everyone will work together. The leader of the sheep tribe has had people do this before.

However, the effect was not good. When the migrating sheep passed by, the domesticated sheep in the tribe, except for those tied to the trees with ropes, all ran away with the migrating sheep.

Ever since that experience, the leader of the Sheep Tribe would never do such a thing again.

After all, it takes a lot of time and effort to make a newly caught sheep more obedient.

Moreover, although the population of the Sheep Tribe has increased a lot over the years, all the increases are babies. After the sheep flock reached a certain size, the first batch of babies born are only four years old now.

It takes a long time for these children to grow up from birth to adulthood, and they also have a long way to go.

These two things combined resulted in not many people from the Sheep Tribe coming to hunt this time.

"#¥!"

A member of the Sheep Tribe pointed to the other side of the river and warned everyone.

This voice interrupted the thoughts of the Sheep Tribe leader. He looked up and looked like everyone else, with a look of joy on his face.

At the same time, the big guys who were waiting nearby also reacted. They, who had seemed lazy before, now stood up and appeared particularly alert and aggressive.

But no matter how ferocious they were, the sheep that used to run away when they saw them now rushed forward without any fear.

Because in the eyes of the sheep, this is just an extremely ordinary journey, no different from the previous and subsequent journeys.

These guys waiting on the riverbank are not the first predators, nor will they be the last.

When the first wet sheep swam through the river and landed on the river bank, the feast that the predators had been waiting for for a long time began...

The galloping flock of sheep gradually went away, and the predators, who had had their fill, walked away with lazy steps, their round bellies, licking the blood from the corners of their mouths and picking their teeth.

There were some dark red bloodstains and remaining bones left on the land, as well as some scavenger birds with weak hunting abilities, chirping and noisy here, happily eating some leftovers.

The leader of the Sheep Tribe and the people of the Sheep Tribe, whose bodies were covered in blood, also had smiles on their faces at this time.

After using the stick in their hands to blow up the head of a bold bird that came to intercept them, the people of the Sheep Tribe, led by the leader of the Sheep Tribe, began to return triumphantly with their tired bodies, carrying their slow harvest and feeling extremely excited.

These captured sheep were very pitiful. Those that were lightly injured were tied with ropes and led forward.

Not only that, some small, killed sheep were tied to their backs.

After returning to the tribe, he and his companions could eat as much mutton as they wanted.

After eating, have a good sleep. It makes people feel comfortable no matter how they think about it.

The leader of the Sheep Tribe had already made a plan. After waking up and having a hearty meal, he would take his men to carry some sheep that had been killed but not eaten, and go to the wealthy neighboring tribe to exchange them for more salt to store.

In addition to the salt, some of those small yellow fruits also need to be exchanged.

After the small fruit is boiled in a clay pot, it tastes very good when eaten with mutton...

Near the cave of the sheep tribe, the people who stayed in the tribe were holding pointed sticks tied with ropes, which could be used to hunt and kill some wild beasts, and could also be used to drive the flock of sheep, and they were grazing the sheep in the tribe.

These people are basically those who are not very strong, and there are also some underage people among them.

They stood here separately, rounding up the flock.

The sheep were quietly grazing in their encirclement. If any sheep tried to cross the circle and go somewhere else, it would be whipped by the shepherd with a rope tied to a stick.

They had deliberately left these grasses behind so that those who stayed in the tribe could graze sheep near the tribe during these few days without having to go too far.

This was a solution the Sheep Tribe came up with to solve the problem of tribe and sheep safety after several incidents in which strong men in the tribe tried to capture the sheep during this season.

The leader and the others should be back soon, right?

Someone was grazing and looked up into the distance...

"#¥GR?"

The leader of the Sheep Tribe, who was leading his people forward with full harvest and vision of happiness in the future, suddenly stopped and looked towards a place, his eyes full of vigilance and uncertainty.

When the people of the Sheep Tribe heard his words, they all stopped and looked towards the east with the leader of the Sheep Tribe.

There, something strange appeared...
