Chapter 291 Hunting ([-])

Debt slaves were even able to enjoy basic villager rights, that is, to be able to participate in the election of village chiefs and hunting team captains—not only the right to vote, but also the right to be elected.In addition, debt slaves are paid (although more than half of the fruits of labor belong to the master), while it is up to the master whether other slaves can own private property.

But a slave is a slave after all.Although a master cannot beat a debt slave, he can reprimand him.And slaves cannot refute, let alone beat their masters, otherwise they are very likely to be punished as criminal slaves.Moreover, children born during slavery will automatically become slaves of their masters.

Therefore, a family without the ability to barbecue will never soften its heart just because of a few crying children.If the stored food for the winter is used to satisfy the children, how can the long winter survive?Borrowing money from others and becoming a debt slave?This is not a good idea.

……

More and more people asked the village chief to have the same team as Luo Da, so that the village chief was convinced that his position as village chief would soon be seriously threatened.

Obviously, the village chief couldn't meet the demands of these people one by one.As a last resort, the village head held a village meeting specially for this matter.At the village meeting, the hunters in the same team as Luo Dayou, even the rookie and the captain, were unwilling to make any changes.After a fierce ideological struggle, in order to keep Luo Dayou in the team, the captain was even willing to give up his position as captain.However, members of this hunting party accounted for only one-fifth of the villagers with voting rights, so the request to keep the status quo was ruthlessly rejected.

Next, the villagers had a heated quarrel over how to regroup.The result of the final compromise was that the five hunting teams were reduced to four, and Luo Dayou became the captain of one of the hunting teams, and the number of this team was fixed at 50 people.The members of the team, except Luo Dayou, the captain, is fixed, and the team members are rotated by the villagers.

In the next few days, most of the families in Nine-Headed Bird Village had a taste of barbecue—those families who still didn’t give their children barbecue were either slaves or because of their personalities.

All of a sudden, the topics of the villagers revolved around Luo Dayou.

Or they might praise him happily for being able to shoot enough prey easily.

Or he was discussing his luck mysteriously. After hunting these days, Luo Dayou's team had never had a fierce fight with a wild beast.

It is indeed luck that Luo Dayou's team did not suffer any casualties.However, things like luck have always been illusory, so how could it be possible to always be on Luo Dayou's side?What's more, the number of Luo Dayou's team has reached 50 people, which is already the maximum limit of the security cordon.

Teams with [-] to [-] members are relatively safest, and this is just a conclusion drawn by the wilderness people based on experience.But this "relatively the highest security" does not mean "absolute security".

The intelligence of most beasts has not yet evolved to the point where they can clearly count people.Moreover, the so-called relative safety between twenty and fifty is just the experience summed up by human beings, and it has not been recognized by wild beasts.

When the wet and cold air blowing from the Arctic Ocean caused the temperature to drop to sub-zero, and the sky began to drift with snow mixed with ice particles, this obvious change in weather made the beast understand that the cruelest winter in the wasteland had come.Before long, the vast majority of animals on the wasteland will be unable to carry out activities in the wild.At this time, animals that have not yet stored enough fat have to make a last-ditch effort to survive.

Everyone in the wasteland knows that this period of time is the most dangerous.In fact, the food stored in the village has reached the minimum standard so far. Even if the hunting is stopped now, the nine-headed bird village can barely survive this winter.However, no one has the idea of ​​ending this year's hunting early, because the wilderness people always have a persistent pursuit of getting more food.

Maybe the goddess of luck has quietly left without saying goodbye; maybe it's because a certain beast counted the wrong number; maybe it's because facing the threat of survival, the hungry and dizzy beast would rather eat less than eat something... ...Anyway, Luo Dayou finally encountered the biggest threat since becoming a cultivator.

On this day, Luo Dayou's hunting team went hunting as usual.On the way, they were followed by a one-eyed lone wolf.

At the beginning, no one took this matter to heart, because it is quite normal to be targeted by wild animals during hunting.Because the rookies have been very relaxed these days, they even have the mood to point and point at the one-eyed lone wolf trailing behind them.

A lone wolf can be described as skinny.The loose wolf fur draped over his body like a wet mop.Hard bones seemed to poke out from the skin covering the body at any time.It's early winter now, and the lone wolf, so skinny and skinny, obviously can't survive this winter.

But even the most compassionate novice would have no sympathy for the starving animal.Because, with its only remaining eye, it was looking at the hunting team with a gloomy gaze. Coupled with the drooling white fangs, its hungry and frantic appearance looked terrifying.

The rookies think that the one-eyed lone wolf can only bore the hunting party at best, but it is not the case.

The one-eyed lone wolf just followed the hunting team silently at first.After a while, it became restless and spent a lot of time sniffing the rabbit holes that were not completely covered by snow.Finally, there was a light "whoosh" sound in the distance, it was a rookie who was practicing archery with it.The one-eyed lone wolf was 200 meters away from the hunting team, which was almost the furthest range of the longbow.At this distance, let alone a rookie, even a sharpshooter cannot guarantee to hit the prey - almost no longbow can guarantee accuracy at this distance, and the time the arrow flies in the air is long enough for the animal to react up.

An arrow was inserted diagonally five or six meters away from the one-eyed lone wolf, which caused a thoughtful expression on its face, but it was not the thoughtful expression caused by hunger.

Without warning, the one-eyed lone wolf raised its head and let out a long howl.It mixes all evil, vicious, and terrifying things into the barking sound. The nose shrinks into a zigzag shape due to continuous twitches, and the hair rises like waves. The tongue spits out and then retracts, like a red snake, with its ears lying flat, Hateful eyes shot out from the eyes, the lips retracted, the wolf teeth were exposed, and the saliva flowed. Such an appearance made its barking more terrifying than any other wolf.
