Chapter 2 Become the Bait



Hundreds of women gathered in the dim cave. The youngest was eleven or twelve years old, and the oldest was only in her thirties. This was already considered a relatively large tribe within a hundred miles!

"Chief, we've captured a man!"

After Sister Lan finished speaking, she tore off the only piece of animal skin on Long Junhai's body, causing the women to scream loudly. Many women showed excitement in their eyes and couldn't wait to pounce on him!

On the high stone platform, a woman with a more voluptuous figure was fiddling with her hair, staring at a certain part of Long Junhai without any hesitation. However, she did not seem as excited as the others, and there was a hint of sadness on her face.

After a moment's silence, the female leader suddenly said, "Let this man go."

"Let it go? This is the prey we found with great difficulty!"

Several younger girls quickly hugged Long Junhai's thighs, fearing that he would really be let go.

"Chief, men are good things. Just sleep with them and you'll have children! Then our tribe will become even more powerful!"

Some older women are unwilling to let go of such a good prey!

The female leader frowned and pointed at the chains and shackles on Long Junhai's body and said, "Don't you see these chains? He is a slave! If we take him in, it will probably bring disaster to our tribe! Although our tribe does not have any men at the moment, we can go to other tribes to rob them! In short, we must not take this guy in!"

The female leader is very smart and she thinks longer-term.

"How about we just eat him? It would be a shame to just let this man go!"

Those young girls only think about eating meat. For them, being able to eat meat is the happiest thing!

"No, what if the higher races of the Orc Continent track us down and find out that we have eaten their slaves? Then we will all be killed!" Sister Lan is older and has witnessed humans being massacred by the higher races with her own eyes. She still has a trauma in her heart.

"Alan is right. Let this man fend for himself. Let's just pretend we've never met him."

The female leader took two wrinkled fruits from the stone platform and handed them to Long Junhai. She personally untied the straw ropes that bound him and said, "Leave here. I hope you can live longer."

Long Junhai had no strength to speak at all. He lay on the ground and chewed the fruit which was not very juicy with great effort. It took him a long time to recover some strength.

"Thank you very much."

After saying these two words, Long Junhai struggled to get up from the ground and walked out of the cave tremblingly.

Rumble, lightning and thunder were everywhere. It started to rain heavily as Long Junhai just came out of the cave. Now it is the rainy season. It is very difficult to find food in this wilderness. How can he survive?

"Chief, it's raining heavily outside. He can't walk far. Judging from his current condition, I'm afraid he will starve to death soon."

Sister Lan looked at Long Junhai's departing back, feeling somewhat reluctant.

"It has been raining for four months now. If the rainy season doesn't end, all of us here will starve to death!"

The female leader sighed. The food they had stored had been used up. If they could not catch prey within three days, they would soon starve to death!

Rain in the wilderness will inhibit the growth of plants, and plants will only grow after the rainy season. In previous years, the rainy season was only about three months, but this year it rained for a whole month longer. Food became increasingly scarce, and more and more wild animals and humans starved to death.

At this moment, Long Junhai was also worried about his life. The bare and barren mountains did not even provide a place to shelter from the wind and rain. He was starving and could not find any food. Even the only animal skin on his body was snatched away by the group of women!

With no means of food, clothing, shelter, or transportation, what should he do? Long Junhai was in a state of panic. This was ten times more difficult than trying to compete with others for territory!

"I can't just sit there and wait for death! I have to live well!"

Long Junhai is a man of strong character. If a group of women can survive in this wilderness, it would be too shameful for him, a grown man, to starve to death!

Grass roots, tree bark, leaves, and fruits are basically non-existent because not only humans are looking for them, but many wild animals are also searching for them, and almost all edible things have been eaten up!

If you keep searching, you will starve to death sooner or later. The best way is to set a trap and lure the wild beast into it!

Braving the heavy rain, Long Junhai searched everywhere for terrain where he could set traps. This kind of thing was not unfamiliar to him at all, and he had done it often before. He had become the underground emperor by relying on traps of all sizes!

Halfway up the mountain, Long Junhai found a natural deep pit that had collapsed due to rain. It was at least ten meters deep and was very suitable for setting a trap!

"God help me!"

Long Junhai smiled evilly, and immediately picked up some rotten long sticks and placed them on the deep pit. He only used a relatively strong wooden stick as a load-bearing support, and then covered the surface with soil. This simple animal trap was basically completed!

Now all that was missing was a bait. A fierce look appeared on Long Junhai's face. He directly cut his arm with a sharp stone, letting the blood flow down with the rain!

If they weren't forced into a desperate situation, who would let themselves be used as bait? Now that it's a matter of life and death, they have to take such a big risk!

The sense of smell of wild beasts is far superior to that of humans. Blood is the smell that excites wild beasts the most, let alone those hungry wild beasts!

Long Junhai covered the wound with his hand, lay on the load-bearing wooden stick of the trap, and waited quietly for the prey to take the bait.

In less than half an hour, a wild beast that looked like a wild dog and was as strong as an ox came over following the smell of blood.

The beast growled twice at Long Junhai, appearing to be very cautious. It slowly approached when it was sure there was no danger.

When it was still two or three meters away from Long Junhai, the beast suddenly pounced forward and bit the opponent's neck with its bloody mouth!

Long Junhai was prepared and quickly dodged towards the edge of the trap!

Snap~

The beast was too heavy, and the supporting wooden sticks were broken, and both the man and the beast lost their balance!

Seeing that he was about to fall into the trap, Long Junhai burst out with all his potential, leaped with all his might, and narrowly climbed to the edge of the trap!

The beast fell into the deep pit wailing and couldn't climb out for a while!

After lying on the edge of the trap and gasping for breath for a long time, Long Junhai quickly got up and used mud to seal the bloodstains he had shed to avoid attracting other beasts.

After cleaning up the scene, there was still a very troublesome problem, which was how to kill this beast?

Hitting with a rock? My strength isn't strong enough, and my accuracy isn't high either. I don't know if I can kill the other person, but I'll definitely tire myself out first!

Bury it alive with soil? This method is not advisable either. Not to mention the time and effort involved, it would be troublesome if the deep pit could not trap the beast!

Starve the beast to death? That's even more impossible. Before the other party starves to death, Long Junhai will definitely be the first to starve to death!
