Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 190
After resting with Aze in the tribe for a period of time, Chen Qi put on the agenda to go out to catch live animals. This time, the place to go out was a bit far, and he probably needed to sleep on the plain overnight, so the people who went out together There are several.
The place where several people came this time is a place where snow geese live. It is not close to the Chishui River, and the terrain is higher than other places. Probably because it is not near the water source, there will be no large carnivores nearby. It is the snow geese. Great place to hatch eggs after each migration.
A few people were lying quietly in a grass to observe the situation of the snow geese. There was a time when winged birds came back earlier than other animals, and the snow goose eggs were about to hatch these days.
“Are we catching the live ones or shooting them directly?” Ah Shu touched the wooden bow in his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement. It was the first time he came to participate in the task of catching birds. Before there were no bows and arrows, this kind of Winged birds are a very difficult prey for orcs to catch, and their feathers are not as easy to strip as other mammals, and they don’t get much meat after cleaning, so the orcs unless It is really impossible to find prey, otherwise it would not hit the bird at all.
Chen Qi looked around at the surrounding situation. This piece of snow geese has a very large habitat. Although the distance between the snow geese dens and the dens on the outside is a certain distance, the number of sightings is still very considerable. Don’t look at the birds. Their appearance is not as threatening as other carnivorous animals. Once they fight and are besieged by a group of snow geese, they will not get much benefit.
“Let’s approach slowly, try not to attract too much Xue Yan’s attention.” Chen Qi urged.
Their mission this time was mainly to steal the eggs of the snow geese that were about to hatch. The adult snow geese would be caught if they could be caught alive, and if they couldn’t be caught, they would hunt a few and go back to make food.
A few people spread out. They had caught red-billed queria sparrows in the tribe before, and they also had some experience in catching birds. At this moment, in addition to the necessary wooden bows, everyone was holding a long The long net pocket is woven with tough ropes. Once you put the snow goose in the pocket, you don’t need to worry about the other party breaking free.
“You follow me.” Azer grabbed Chen Qi’s wrist and shielded him behind him. Then he feigned and approached the nearest Snow Goose Nest under the cover of the grass.
In addition to the orcs, there are also several wild foxes that are also eyeing these snow-white eggs. These wild foxes are smaller than the adult snow geese. They hide on the other side of the grass, so they did not find the orcs at all. trace.
The wild fox squatted down and slowly approached his target, and one of them swooped towards the adult snow geese who were hatching eggs in the nest, as if he wanted to bite off the neck of the snow geese with his sharp teeth.
Xueyan was very vigilant. When the wild fox rushed over, it suddenly flapped its wings and stood up. The huge wings flipped the petite wild fox to the ground. The wild fox rolled on the spot and stabilized its body. Stand still, not hurt by this sudden change.
Xueyan opened her wings and used her body to protect the few snow-white eggs behind her. She seemed to be provoked by the wild fox. The sharp beak pointed at the wild fox. Once the wild fox made a move, she must give it a shot. The mouth makes it taste great.
A few snow geese in the distance who were hatching eggs also noticed the situation here. They raised their heads and chirped, but they did not come to help. There were also eggs that needed protection behind them. Wild foxes generally only live in a nest of eggs. Steal one or two. Although they hate wild foxes, they are worried that once they leave the range of their nest, the eggs will be stolen by other wild foxes.
After the wild fox caught Xue Yan’s attention, the other two wild foxes approached slowly behind, neatly bit an egg with their mouths and wanted to leave. Xue Yan turned around just to see this situation, and quickly flapped its wings. It flew over, and the wild fox that attracted attention quickly stepped forward quietly, bit a snow-white bird egg, and ran into the tall grass not far away without fighting.
The other two wild foxes escaped Xue Yan’s attack and fled separately. There were five or six eggs in the nest. The number of eggs was reduced by half. Xue Yan angrily chased a distance and returned angrily. The partner has gone out for food. If it leaves the range of the bird’s nest again, I am afraid that the remaining eggs will not be kept.
Aze broke the neck of the wild fox that just ran into him, and caught the bird egg that fell from its mouth with the other hand.
The fur of this wild fox is a bit mixed, gray-yellow and gray-yellow, which is not good-looking, but the fur is very smooth and feels good to the touch. Chen Qi helped put the dead fox into the backpack, carefully put away the intact bird eggs, and said with a smile: “Although the fox’s fur is not very good-looking, it should be good for making a scarf, I will give it to you when I go back. You can make one.” In winter, Aze never liked the animalization of his whole body, and his neck remained uncovered with fur. Chen Qi persuaded him several times, but he had no choice but to make some warm scarves for Aze.
“If you like fox fur, I’ll hunt you something nice next time.”
There was already a commotion in the kung fu snow geese group while the two were talking. Chen Qi looked intently and saw that Ah Shu had already wrapped a snow geese in a net pocket, and Ah Jing was wrapping bird eggs with animal skins behind them. , there was probably a majestic giant wolf **** standing next to it. Those snow geese didn’t dare to rush up directly, but started to slowly surround them. The huge birdsong came one after another and spread to the center of the snow geese group. Snow geese were already circling in the air.
After an attack by the red-billed quelia flock, the orcs have a little shadow in their hearts for the large flock of birds, especially the snow goose is dozens of times the size of the red-billed quelia flock, and its attack power is also stronger than that of the flock of birds. It is much taller, and several people just want to make a quick decision.
Chen Qi pulled Aze’s sleeve and pointed in the other direction. Ashu and the little wolf cubs attracted the attention of the snow geese, and they could easily approach the bird’s nest in the other direction.
A Ze didn’t use a net to catch him, he directly shot and killed a few nearby snow geese guarding the bird’s nest with a bow and arrow, and helped pick up the eggs while protecting Chen Qi.
When Xue Yan in the distance reacted to the situation here, A Ze had already picked up the injured Xue Yan, carried Chen Qi on his back and evacuated the area. Before leaving, he had not forgotten to grab a live one with his net bag. of.
“It hurts, Ah Jing, are you okay?” As Shu’s head was densely covered with a thick layer of snow clouds, the snow geese swooped down, and the net bag in Ah Shu’s hand had lost its original function. He could only wave randomly in the air. Even though he had turned into a beast and wanted to tear down the attacking Xue Yan, Xue Yan’s movements were obviously much more flexible than he imagined, and Ah Shu’s attack did not cause much damage to the opponent at all. Injured, Xue Yan made several wounds on his hands and face.
The little wolf cub has been guarding around Ajing, and the snow geese who have been ruthless have long been red-eyed. Fortunately, the little wolf cub has become thicker and thicker since the hair was changed. Apart from the messy hair, he was not injured. .
A Jing carried the animal skin backpack full of bird eggs behind his back, picked up a few snow geese that were bitten to death by the little wolf cub beside him, reached out and patted the little wolf cub’s back, the little wolf cub accepted At the signal, the huge tail swept forward, forcing the surrounding snow geese back a certain distance, and then retreated behind A Jing.
As A Jing ran, he shouted to A Shu, who was still surrounded by snow geese, “Let’s go.”
Ah Shu didn’t expect Ah Jing and the little wolf cub to run so neatly, he scolded lowly, and ran after them.
Ashu probably attracted most of the firepower of the snow geese, and the overwhelming snow geese chased behind them. In the end, they got rid of the pursuit of the snow geese after drilling through several tall grasses, and waited for them to return to rest last night. Chen Qi had already prepared lunch.
Originally, he planned to sue Chen Qi as soon as he came back, saying that A Jing and the little wolf cubs had left him and A Shu, who had run away first, forgot everything when he saw the food, and moved forward happily.
A Ze pulled out a lump of mud from under the charcoal pile and threw it at the other party. A Shu reflexively reached out and took it, and then threw it on the ground, complaining, “Why did you throw me a hot stone? “
A Ze took the steaming bird leg that Chen Qi handed to him, “This snow goose is mine, you have to eat it and do it yourself.”
“Just get rid of the mud block.” Chen Qi pointed to A Jing who had automatically pulled out another mud block beside him, “Look at how A Jing did it.”
Because he was worried that it would be hot, A Jing took out his bone knife and knocked on the mud block a few times. The mud block cracked open with a sound, and after removing a layer of cattail leaves inside, the golden meat was exposed. The scent penetrated into the noses of several people.
It was the first time that Ashu saw this kind of food. He looked up and down curiously, and tore off a small piece of the snow goose meat wrapped in it and put it in his mouth. He didn’t know what seasoning Chen Qi put in it. It is very different from the usual roasted and boiled meat. As soon as the tender meat is eaten, he can’t help squinting his eyes. Ah Shu has long since threw aside the things that Ah Jing left behind, happily. After enjoying a delicious lunch, I couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed that I didn’t take the opportunity to hunt more snow geese just now.
Ake came back slowly after several people had finished their lunch. Two huge animal skin backpacks hung behind him, one filled with bird eggs, and the other filled with hunted snow geese. There were also a few snow geese who were still jumping around with their mouths and wings **** on their waists.
Seeing Ake, who was neatly dressed and returned with great abundance, Ashu opened his mouth in surprise, and asked in disbelief, “Have you not been discovered by those Xueyan geese?” If there are dozens of bird nests, it is impossible not to attack each other in groups.
Ake unloaded the things, and ripped off a bird’s leg from the snow goose that Ashu was holding, grinning with big white teeth and said, “It’s thanks to you that all the snow geese were led away. .”
“By the way, Chen Qi, you said you wanted to catch a few wild horses. When I first came back, I just saw a herd of wild horses. Do you want to catch them?”
