Song Xu followed the group of orcs for several days. They had already gone beyond her usual range of activities and were still moving forward. She didn't know how far they would go. After hesitating, Song Xu stopped following them.
The day she stopped following, Weishan led a group of orcs to their destination.
This place is close to the edge of the Wumu territory and is the upper reaches of the river where he often hunts. Three tributaries converge here, and the river is wide, with not shallow water even in winter.
"The primitive beasts haven't arrived yet, so we'll wait here. They should be here soon." With an order from the experienced Weishan, the orcs began to prepare.
They took down the ropes made of animal tendons, the hooks made of animal bones, and the spears made of primitive animal bones, and hid in the mountains and forests near the river and waited.
One day later, dense black spots appeared on the horizon. Those black spots shot from the sky like arrows, and only slowed down and fell down one after another after approaching the river bank.
At first, they were smaller primitive beasts, only about one meter long. They had bird-like wings, long beaks, and a thin long tail behind them. There were the most small primitive beasts like this, and they were also the most agile in the primitive beast group, with the fastest flying speed, and they were always the vanguard. The
young beastmen waiting in the mountains and forests were a little impatient when they saw the primitive beasts coming, and were suppressed by the older beastmen.
This was just the beginning. They generally did not hunt small primitive beasts like this because they were mostly skeletons and skins, without meat, and were very alert. Once disturbed, they would never land again, affecting the hunting of large primitive beasts later.
The next to land were primitive beasts that were seven to eight meters long. Most of these had patterns on their bodies, and their beaks with hoods took up most of their bodies. Their membrane-like wings looked translucent. There
were also primitive beasts that were more than ten meters long, covered with fine feathers, with long crowns on their heads, and terrible saw teeth on the edges of their beaks.
In previous years, the hunting team brought back meat that had already been cut into pieces. The young beastmen had never seen the real appearance of primitive beasts. Seeing such a large primitive beast, they were all excited and eager to try.
"Everyone wait for me!" Weishan shouted in a low voice, asking these restless young beastmen to calm down.
They continued to wait patiently, and finally waited for the last few primitive beasts in this migration team to arrive. These few were the slowest and largest, and they were their hunting targets this time.
Their bodies were bulky, like a brown hill. In order to support their sturdy bodies, their wings were as big as a dark cloud, covering the sky and the sun when they flew. When they flapped their wings, a vortex of wind suddenly formed on the river surface.
There were only six primitive beasts of this size in this team. When they landed at the river to drink water, Weishan stood up with his eyes shining and holding his spear: "Warriors, the hunt begins!"
The riverside became a battlefield, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the movement could even be faintly heard near the stone cave.
Song Xu was just thinking about when to start hunting primitive beasts. When she heard the movement, she immediately ran out and climbed a tall tree to look into the distance.
It was too far away here, and she could only see a little smoke and a strange cry that seemed to be there and not there. She was immediately curious.
"Just take a look from a distance, and come back when you see what the primitive beast looks like."
Song Xu glanced at the quiet stone cave and ran wildly on the treetops.
There was so much noise over there that Song Xu saw many frightened animals fleeing as she rushed over, and hibernating bears crawling out of caves. She decided not to get too close, and she didn't need to get too close, because the so-called primitive beast was huge and she could see it from a distance.
The moment she saw the appearance of the primitive beast, Song Xu howled and bit the tree trunk next to her.
What primitive beast? This... isn't this a dinosaur!
She only knew that there were orcs here, but she never thought there were dinosaurs!
The giant creature that was dragged into the forest and was struggling looked like a hybrid of a pterosaur and a spinosaurus in the dinosaur picture album she saw when she was a child. It had short forelimbs and sturdy hind limbs, and a row of high sails on its back, which were just two huge wings.
Song Xu just stared at the "dinosaur" falling down, and the ground nearby was shaking. Her first reaction was: Is it illegal to hunt dinosaurs?
Then Teacher Luo's voice rang out and said: Of course it's not illegal, because dinosaurs are protected animals, right!
Song Xu: "..."
The hunting over there came to an end, and the other small primitive beasts that were startled flew in all directions. One of them had a wing injured, and it panicked and rushed into the forest where Song Xu was.
Song Xu immediately came to his senses and jumped down from the tree. The several-meter-long primitive beast swooped down above the dense forest with its hind legs, crushing several trees.
Song Xu compared this primitive beast, which was still struggling to take off, with a certain pterosaur in her mind, and thought of the Jurassic Park she had seen when she was a child. There were still
many "dinosaurs" flying in the sky, and the sky was full of wings. They might fall down and crush her. Song Xu finally understood why Sheshe repeatedly warned her not to go out. The excitement of dinosaurs was indeed despised.
Song Xu decisively turned around and left. After seeing the primitive beast, she became more knowledgeable and walked away.
At the river where the giant primitive beast fell, dozens of beast tribe beastmen who had transformed into their original form were driving away the small primitive beasts that wanted to surround them.
After they took great pains to kill the prey, the matter was not over yet, and the surrounding primitive beasts of all sizes would compete with them for the dead primitive beast meat.
In this hunt, they lost six young beastmen, one of whom was eaten by the primitive beast, three were trampled to death, and two were fanned far away by the wings of the primitive beast and crushed to death. But this was the most successful one in the past few years. After the fierce battle, everyone was very excited. Next, they just had to wait here until the competing primitive beasts left, and then they could cut up the meat of the prey and transport it back to the tribe.
The lion was covered in blood, and he turned into a beast and stood on the corpse of the primitive beast. When he saw other primitive beasts approaching, he raised his head and roared to intimidate and drive them away, venting the excitement in his body.
Small primitive beasts did not dare to approach, but primitive beasts over ten meters long were not afraid of such a lion, and still tried to land and taste this rare food.
Being ignored by the primitive beast in front of him, Shi You forgot what Wei Shan said that he only needed to drive it away and not attack. He rushed forward impulsively and bit its hind legs.
The primitive beast screamed, flapped its wings and flew up, trying to fly high to get rid of the attacker on its hind legs. Shi You was taken into the air and was stunned. He could only bite the hind legs tightly and swing wildly in the air to prevent the primitive beast from flying.
Wei Shan saw this scene, roared, snatched the hook from his companion's hand, and threw it hard at the primitive beast, just wrapping around its neck. Relying on his own brute force, he temporarily fixed it in the air. The other beastmen hurried to help and dragged it and Shi You down together.
The primitive beast, tied up by the neck and bitten by several beastmen, was dying on the ground. It knew it was going to die here, so it suddenly raised its head and let out a hoarse "clang" sound towards the sky. A
ten-meter-long primitive beast hovering in the sky responded with the same "clang" sound and swooped down. The beastmen who had just finished a series of battles were unable to react and dodge in time. One of them just stood up and was caught in the mouth of the primitive beast. The big mouth like a saw-toothed steel bar bit him in two and swallowed one of them.
"This is a pair, attack!" Weishan roared, rushing over first, and the rest of the beastmen swung their hooked ropes and rushed to the primitive beast.
After a hard fight, Weishan tore out the primitive beast's internal organs. The big tiger, too tired to move, lay in front of the primitive beast's torn abdomen, panting with blood in his mouth.
The rest of the beastmen were not much better, and sat on the ground to rest. Fortunately, these several battles had scared away all the small primitive beasts, and the riverside became much quieter.
"This primitive beast is not dead yet. Why don't we just bring it back to the tribe and let everyone see a living primitive beast!" Lion You stood up first. He looked at the primitive beast that was still struggling after his hind legs were bitten off by him, and he could already imagine how majestic it would be when it returned to the tribe.
Weishan gathered his strength and stood up. He raised his leg and kicked the proud lion, scolding him: "Who told you to attack suddenly just now!"
The lion fell to the side, got up with a dusty face, and roared: "If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have hunted two more primitive beasts!"
This eight-meter-long primitive beast is not their target prey. They are usually a female with several males. Once a female is provoked, there may be several beasts attacking them at the same time. This time, they are lucky that there are only two beasts, otherwise several beasts will die.
Weishan didn't want to explain to him, so he raised his hand and beat up the young and ignorant guy.
After beating him, Weishan asked everyone to cut up the prey.
The primitive beast that was still alive was not killed at the insistence of Lion You. The other beastmen thought that since this kind of primitive beast had little meat, it would be fine to bring one alive back to show the tribe members a curiosity. Therefore, they dealt with the other two primitive beasts, one big and one small. The
primitive beast whose belly was torn open by Weishan had only a little meat on its belly after removing its membrane-like wings. It looked big, but its body was mostly skeletons and skin, and its belly was full of inedible viscera, so the hunting team generally did not bother to hunt this kind of primitive beast.
The beastmen who dealt with this primitive beast cut off a thin layer of meat, and then cut open the viscera of the primitive beast, trying to take out the body of its companion that it had swallowed.
There were many undigested things in the stomach of the primitive beast, and even some small stones. When turning over, a tiger tooth necklace with colorful stones was pulled out.
Weishan and a dozen older beastmen were dealing with the large primitive beast on the other side, and suddenly saw his companion holding a familiar tiger tooth necklace.
"Weishan, look, is this Hesen's tiger tooth necklace?"
