Chapter 41 Plan for the New Stage

Under the leadership of Dashi, their first stop was, of course, near the lake.

At this time, people from their tribe had already rowed rafts and started casting nets on the lake to catch fish.

They are walking along the lake now.

"As the only water source nearby, don't animals come to drink from this lake on weekdays?"

"Used to have."

When Dashi talked about this, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"But after the former leader tried to trick them and failed several times, these animals seemed to know that it was no longer safe here."

"In addition, the people of our tribe basically fish on this river during the day, and animals will not approach easily."

"As time goes by, fewer animals come here. Even if they want to come to drink water, they will come after dark, because from time to time, you can still find some tracks nearby."

Dashi’s explanation can be said to be very clear.

In this era, the night is still very dangerous for them. Under normal circumstances, they will not start operations after dark.

"So do you all rely on fishing for food now, or are you trying to hunt other animals on the grassland?"

"We now rely entirely on fishing to obtain food."

Zhou Xu was not surprised at all when he got this answer. After all, yesterday's food was nothing but fish.

While Zhou Xu was thinking this, Dashi further explained the situation.

"The animals on the grassland run too fast and react too quickly. We can't catch them at all."

"Didn't your former leader ever think of setting up a trap?"

Trap, Dashi had heard this word from the former leader, so he was no stranger to it.

"I tried, but they all failed."

In this era, hunting either relied on bows and arrows or traps.

It goes without saying much about bows and arrows, but in this era, making bows and arrows is very difficult and must be a project that requires a lot of time and effort.

But right now, their manpower is limited, and the tribe members are still busy trying to make ends meet every day.

In this state, it is difficult for them to spare the time, energy and manpower to study this.

At the same time, what is even more troublesome is that even if you barely develop a bow and arrow, can the accuracy, range and power of your bow and arrow be guaranteed?

This is most likely not possible.

Therefore, based on the current actual situation, in Zhou Xu's opinion, the bow and arrow project is a project that they can only study after they have enough spare energy.

As for traps, they can be roughly divided into two types. One is basket traps or lasso traps like Zhou Xu's, which require some skills. Without some skills, it is quite difficult to make them.

The other type is a pothole trap that requires a lot of physical labor.

But for a small tribe of more than thirty people like them, this pothole trap is actually not easy to make.

If a pothole trap is to be effective, it must be large and deep enough, which requires labor.

However, don’t forget that most tribes like theirs are short of manpower. If you want a tribe to operate smoothly and survive day by day, you need to invest in stable manpower for maintenance. There is not much spare power at all.

Go do something else.

Dashi's former leader obviously did not have the skills to make basket traps or noose traps. As for pothole traps, it goes without saying.

After a simple attempt, he clearly realized the above problems, and then rushed to the freshwater lake near their camp.

To be honest, that guy should be lucky that there is a freshwater lake with rich fish resources near the camp, otherwise from Zhou Xu's perspective, he would starve to death.

The existence of this freshwater lake solved the initial food problem to a great extent. It can be said that it opened a simple mode for the opponent.

But it seems that the other party has no intention of taking advantage of this advantage to develop bows and arrows, but rather wants to seize resources and expand its territory.

There is no need to say more about what happened after that.

Currently, the main job of their gathering team here at the Black Moon Camp is to collect stones, branches and grass, or cut down some trees to obtain wood. Those door panels and large shields are made of these wood.

During this process, every time Zhou Xu walked through an area, he would activate his 'Eye of Insight' to scan around it.

Although the power of the mantra that was frequently activated yesterday has not been completely recovered yet, there will be no problem as long as you don't use it frequently and at high intensity.

Zhou Xude admitted that he was really used to this. In exploration work, the 'Eye of Insight' was extremely useful.

Under the observation of the 'Eye of Insight', he quickly caught an agile figure in the grass.

The other party didn't know if they had also discovered their presence, but they passed through the grass with a 'swish' sound and got into a hole in the ground.

"It's a hare!"

Those long ears allowed Zhou Xu to instantly confirm their identity.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu led everyone quickly to the cave.

This rabbit hole is quite deep, and you can't reach the bottom just by stretching out your hand, not to mention that the entrance of the hole may be connected to other exits, basically eliminating the method of reaching out and grabbing by force.

But Zhou Xu didn't care at all.

Because from the beginning, he was not thinking about catching these hares by force, but thinking about how to set traps to catch these hares!

In any case, it would be great to have wild rabbits in this area, and there is no doubt that they will be on their menu.

Even thinking in the longer term, they can also consider breeding wild rabbits, so that they can obtain a more stable supply of rabbit meat in the future!

At this moment, the plans in Zhou Xu's mind were clicking away.

From the current point of view, this grassland is really a treasure place for him!

Next, they stopped by the place where the mantra characters were found before, and then searched the surroundings for a while.

After confirming that there was indeed no 'fish that slipped through the net' here, Zhou Xu returned to the camp with a bit of regret.

By the time they arrived at the camp, it was already afternoon, and even after a while, it was approaching evening.

At this time, on the Salt Lake Tribe side, Butterfly and the others had successfully arrived at the Black Moon Camp under the escort of some tribe warriors!

Needless to say, this was the order Zhou Xu sent to the Salt Lake camp before setting off this morning.

With the smooth transfer of Butterfly and the others, after he successfully occupied the Black Moon Camp, the new phase of planning arrangements can undoubtedly be officially launched!

There was a little delay, so I'll send you an update.
Chapter completed!
