Lu Tu sighed and rubbed his forehead. He hadn't expected these guys to be so competitive, but it was a good thing, though.
Nodding, he said, "Okay, since we need to weigh it, let's cut down a long log and find a stone that weighs close to 100 pounds. We'll use that stone as the standard for weighing!"

They quickly found some tools, tied them with rope to a boulder, and used them as a makeshift scale.

Ulm waved his hand, and immediately three cavalrymen with torches stepped forward warily. The torchlight struck the ground, and everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, there are a large number of dead prey here!"
Ulm's pupils contracted: "Retreat!"
