wild trail

Chapter 74 Potential Enemies

After the forest fire and the tree bark left, Wang Lang asked people to keep an eye on the movement in the salt lake area. Since the first time they saw that kind of giant deer, they began to pay attention, but the time when these animals come here to ingest salt is not fixed. Wang Lang Can only wait patiently.

It is very difficult to catch these strong and running animals. Although the deer are relatively easy to catch, those cubs are not very useful to the current tribe. The cubs need a long time It can only be used for feeding. Only when adult deer are caught, it can be used whether it is riding or pulling a cart.

Sitting on the tree stump, Wang Lang rubbed his brows, thinking about how to capture a large number of these huge animals. His first thought was to dig a large number of horse traps, but he quickly rejected his idea. The damage is too great, and the disabled deer has no use except to kill and eat meat.

Wang Lang couldn't help but think about how primitive humans captured wild horses in the first place. Wang Lang was very puzzled by this question. With the speed of humans, it is impossible to catch up with these animals. Even if it is hunting, they can only kill these animals. is impossible.

Shaking his head, he didn't think about the problems that even pained the experts. He took a branch and drew his thoughts on the ground, but after thinking for a long time, he found nothing.

Distraught, Wang Lang threw away the wooden stick in his hand and walked to the high platform by the wooden wall.

Kong Er, who was staring at the salt lake, saw Wang Lang coming up and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Wang Lang said: "It's nothing, just come up to see, what's going on there now?"

Kong Er shook his head and said, "It's still the same as usual, I haven't seen that kind of giant deer."

Wang Lang nodded, looked towards the direction of the salt lake, and sat beside Kong Er.

Said: "Kong Er, you have been in the tribe for such a long time, you should get used to it!"

Staying alone with Wang Lang, Kong Er felt a little uncomfortable, and said nervously: "Well, I'm used to it, life here is much better than before."

Wang Lang smiled and said, "You won't hold grudges against me for mistreating you and Kong Yi before!"

"How can we hold grudges? At that time we didn't understand anything and made a lot of mistakes. We deserved to be punished. At first I thought you were going to kill us." Kong Erlian shook his head and said.

"Why do you think we are going to kill you?" Wang Lang asked curiously.

Kong Er scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "My mother told me a legend on the prairie when I was young. She said that there was a powerful tribe in the west of this prairie, and this tribe often came to the east to capture Those of us who resisted were killed and scalped. My mother said that we migrated here to avoid their threats. When we were tied up, Kong Yi and I both remembered this legend and thought You are the tribe of the legend, when we thought we were going to die."

Wang Lang frowned. What Kong Er said made him pay attention. If such a tribe really existed, it would definitely pose a threat to his own tribe. He stared at Kong Er seriously and said, "Why didn't you tell me before?" this matter."

Kong Er looked at Wang Lang's livid face, not knowing what he said wrong, and said nervously, "I thought it was an unimportant matter."

Wang Lang sighed and said, "Tell me everything you know."

"I only know so much, I have never seen that tribe."

Wang Lang waved his hands irritably to let Kong Er go down to rest, and sat on the high platform rubbing his temples irritably.

This sudden news caught Wang Lang by surprise. The current stable life made him think that this is the paradise of the tribe, but Kong Er's words made him wake up immediately. This world is completely unknown to him. The degree of civilization varies greatly, and there is no guarantee that there are more advanced civilizations in other places.

The more Wang Lang thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very possible. He recalled that when the four ancient civilizations first developed, humans in the rest of the world were still at the stage of ruthlessness and blood. Although they were all human beings, the speed of civilization development was completely different. In a period when information exchange is inconvenient, this gap may even be several epochs behind.

If there really was the tribe that Kong Er mentioned, it must have developed into a slave society, which made Wang Lang a little worried.

If he wanted to survive in this barbaric world devoid of humanity and morality, he had to speed up the growth of his power in order to protect himself. Now Wang Lang felt that the dangers around the tribe were full of dangers, and his sense of crisis in his heart increased several times.

Wang Lang stood up, looked at the salt lake in the distance while leaning on the wooden stakes of the fence, and said to himself, "We must catch those deer as soon as possible. Only with those deer can we go to find those weak tribes in the east."

Standing on the high platform and watching the animals coming and going in the salt lake, Wang Lang suddenly thought of a good way to catch those deer.

Wang Lang came down from the high platform, and they called over.

"One hole and two holes, you two get the tools and go with me later."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the three women, "You three have to weave a lot of straw rope these days."

"Boss, what are we going to do?" Kong Yi asked.

"Go dig a hole!"

"Dig a hole?"

"Yes, it's just digging a hole, digging a lot of holes." Wang Lang said.

People couldn't help but looked at each other, wondering what Wang Lang was doing digging a hole when he had nothing to do, but before they could ask any questions, Wang Lang got up and brought three shovels over, and said to them, "Let's go!"

Kong Yi and the two followed Wang Lang to the vicinity of the Salt Lake in a daze. They didn't know why they had to run so far to dig a hole. Kong Yi asked, "Dig a hole here?"

Wang Lang nodded and said, "We want to build a wall here, but the pits for burying the wooden piles don't have to be too close, just dig one every step."

Kong Er felt that Wang Lang's actions were completely meaningless, and asked in puzzlement, "Boss, what should we do if wild animals come in such a wide gap, and don't we already have a wall, so there is no need to build one."

"This is not for us to live in. It is used to catch those giant deer. Don't ask so many questions. Dig quickly. We must build the fence before those deer arrive."

Wang Lang's words made the two even more confused, but seeing that Wang Lang had already started digging, the two had no choice but to choose a place, brandished a shovel and started digging.

The land here is all mud and there are very few stones. With the copper shovel, the three digging speed is very fast. They dug more than 100 calf-deep pits in one day. Although the progress is not slow now, but Wang Lang was still a little impatient. According to this speed, it would take at least four or five days to set up the deer-hunting fence. If he didn't finish it before the giant deer arrived, he could only wait for the next opportunity.
