There were more than 120 wolves in the pack. They heard the movements of the soldiers and took a defensive posture to stay in place. The leader was a very strong wolf.

Standing on all fours, the big wolf was as tall as the chest height of a barbarian adult. It stared warily at Zhongli at the front with slightly brown eyes.

Zhong Li recognized that this big wolf was the wolf king who often led his pack to hunt around the tribe, in other words, they were all old acquaintances.

And Big Wolf also sensed the dangerous aura coming from Zhong Li's body, so he didn't dare to act recklessly.

Although the wolves are cunning and brutal, they are definitely not responsible for crimes in the Great Wilderness Mountains, and instead have a good reputation.

Many tribes use wolves as a metaphor for the warriors in the tribe, hoping that the warriors can learn the spirit of fearlessness and loyalty of the wolves.

The same is true for the God's Blessed Tribe in the barren plain before.

Zhong Li raised his hand, and the thousands of warriors stopped silently in place, staring at the wolves from afar.

Perhaps it was because of the connection between the strong, Zhongli's eyes also fell on the tall and strong big wolf.

A silent confrontation unfolded on the plain. The soldiers on both sides were silent, but full of vigilance, ready to attack at any time.

Just when the fighters on both sides thought that the battle was about to be triggered, the leaders of both sides made a tacit decision to back down.

Zhongli made a gesture towards the southwest, and his consciousness was to move towards the northwest to avoid the wolves.

And the head wolf let out a long howl and led the wolf warriors behind him to the northeast.

It seems that both of them have chosen the deep mountains in the north as the hunting ground tacitly.

It wasn't until they distanced themselves from the wolves completely that the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't necessary, they really didn't want to confront the wolves.

"According to the team, advance at full speed." Zhongli passed through the outermost forest and gave an order.

"Yes, Son of God."

The eight captains led their soldiers into different directions, leaving only a hundred or so guards to follow Zhongli, who also guarded the herd of wildebeests and bulls.

"15 people set up camp here, and the others follow me to set traps."

Zhongli took the lead to survey the surrounding terrain and water sources, while the 15 people who stayed behind camped quickly picked a gentle hillside nearby.

The machete that was sharpened before going out to hunt reflected the mottled sunlight in the forest, and cut off the branches on the hillside in a few strokes, leveling out a clean camp.

The summer tent is only made of felt, so it is light and easy to carry.

Pick a few suitable branches from the newly cut branches, plant them in a pit more than one meter deep and bury them, and fix them with a few big stones to form the skeleton of the tent.

Felt is tied around these skeletons and then wrapped with string to fix them. Finally, small and flexible leaves and branches are covered on the top of the felt. A tent for more than 30 people to lie down and sleep is set up.

During hunting, the warriors’ daily activities are outside, and the tents are only used for sleeping and shelter from rain, so it is sufficient to lay dry leaves inside to prevent moisture.

When the hunting warriors come back, they can lay down their own mats and fall asleep directly. Such a tent needs at least twenty tents to be used by hunting warriors.

As for the insects and ants on the ground, God's Blessing Tribe has priests with powerful witchcraft and master angels with boundless divine powers, and the insect repellent with good medicinal effect is still enough.

In the depths of the forest, there are basically few traces of human activities. The ground here is full of vines and weeds. When the weeds are dense, there is not even a place to step down.

But such a place is also a favorite hunting ground for all kinds of animals. The lush grass means plenty of berries and food, and there are many herbivores around.

Large carnivores follow the habits of herbivores for hunting.

The summer sun drenched the lush leaves above the head, and the afternoon wind could not blow into the depths of the forest. The soldiers only felt waves of heat rushing into their hearts.

However, their bodies lurking in the grass and tree trunks remained motionless, their eyes fixed on the wild deer not far away.

Deer and sheep are the most common prey in the woods. Their meat is mainly lean muscle, and the fat content is much lower than that of wild pigs. Therefore, it is most suitable for drying and storing as dried meat in summer.

"Zheng~" There was a slight sound on the tree trunk, which was the sound of an arrow leaving the string.

The sharp arrow fell on the body of a big wild deer, and the big wild deer immediately fell to the ground.

Shitou flicked his fingers, and drew the bow again to hit the second arrow. At this time, the group was a little flustered, but they didn't choose to run away, they just stopped at the spot and looked around.

Other people lurking on the tree trunks also bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at the herd of deer grazing the grass not far away.

"Zheng~" Several voices came out together, waking up the deer herd.

The herd of deer started to run around, but the arrow fell very quickly on the herd of deer who had no time to escape.

In a blink of an eye, the herd of twenty or thirty adult deer disappeared without a trace, leaving only five deer lying on the ground.

"Go and clean up." The warriors who were hiding under the tree rushed up as soon as the stone waved their hands, and they disassembled and packed the five deer neatly on the spot, and cleaned them up.

Since he was busy in the morning, he has only hunted five wild deer. Such a result can't be considered good, but it's definitely not bad.

It's just because God Envoy has a clear rule in the tribe that each hunt should not exceed [-]% of the prey group as long as there is no shortage of food.

These five prey are exactly [-]% of the deer population.

There are many similar hunting rules. At first, the people in the tribe did not understand why such strict rules were set.

But since the cold winter, the population of the tribe has increased several times.After the warriors hunted strictly according to the rules, the prey around the tribe not only did not decrease, but instead became more prosperous than in previous years.

It was only then that everyone understood the reason why God envoys the adults to set the rules, and at the same time they kept this set of rules in their hearts.

"Captain, shall we go back and deal with these prey now?" a soldier asked Shi Shi.

Stone looked at the position of the sun, then nodded and signaled to the soldiers behind him: "Go back to the camp first, and rest after drying the meat."

There was still nearly an hour's journey from the hunting place to the camp, and it was already past noon. If there was a longer delay, the freshly hunted meat would definitely not be dry.

The temperature in summer is too high, and the meat is too watery. If it is left overnight, it will definitely go bad.

"Understood the captain, let's go get the cloth bag."

When the members of the stone team rushed to the camp, Zhong Li had already led his guards to hunt down two big wild bears who coveted wildebeests and wild bulls.

The wild bear has rough skin, thick flesh and great strength, and it is not slow to run really. It is the opponent the soldiers don't want to meet the last time.

But for Zhong Li, who was born with strange strength, dealing with the two savage bears was just a matter of effort, and it wasn't that difficult to deal with.

With a long gun in his hand, he danced vigorously, and with his own strength, he suppressed the strongest wild bear and beat it.

And the warriors following him worked together to stop the other wild bear.

The final result was that the soldiers and Zhongli were unharmed, while the two wild bears had become pieces of meat on the drying rack in front of the camp.

The bear's fur is thick and thick, and it is the warmest animal hide in winter.

The savage bear facing Zhongli was completely black, and he did all the work of decomposing the skin. He wanted to take care of the bear skin and take it back to make a new cloak for Su Yao.

The four bear paws and bear bile were put into the ring space, and the time in the storage room basically stood still, and the preservation effect was not bad.

X-shaped wooden frames are set up in the camp, with a hard branch passing through the middle, and the hunted meat is smeared with salt and hung on the branch to dry in the shade.

The afternoon sun scorched the bare camp, and the high temperature rising into the air took away the moisture on the surface of the meat, and the meat became dry and hard. As the water evaporated, the skin of the meat gradually turned a reddish color.

This kind of meat will not deteriorate again even if it is left overnight. After two days of drying, the water in the meat will completely evaporate, and the jerky with salt on the surface can be stored until early autumn without spoiling.

In a year, only summer can dry meat so unscrupulously. After summer is over, the sun in autumn is no longer suitable for drying meat.

In the middle tent, the dried meat that has been dried in this way is as high as a person, and there are at least a hundred prey.

So far, their hunting goal has been achieved, but Zhongli, as the leader, has not mentioned the word of returning to the tribe for a long time.

The captains all knew that their boss came out this time not only for hunting, but also for other purposes.

For example, to explore the traces left by other tribes in the depths of the wilderness, and whether there are traces of ronin.

Now these small leaders also realize that the development of the tribe requires a large number of people, and there are not enough people in the God's Blessing tribe.

They guessed that the ultimate purpose of Zhongli's hunting was to find ronin or other tribes, and then get a large number of people.

However, their guess was not very accurate. Zhongli wanted to get manpower, but he would not do it by plundering other tribes. Su Yao did not allow it.

Unless this tribe is a cannibal tribe like the Huangshui tribe.

The main purpose of Zhongli is to check the distribution of mountains and water sources around the God Blessed Tribe, and whether there are special ores produced here, like copper mines.

It's a pity that he hasn't found what he wants after searching for so long, and they have been stationed in this mountain area for more than half a month, and the prey they can hunt is not as much as before.

After leaving Su Yao, Zhongli's eyes were neither sad nor joyful, and his gloomy and cold feeling followed him everywhere. Except for a few captains who were more courageous, the rest dared not approach.

At night, the meat was roasted in front of the tent, and the fat of wild pigs was too much to dry, so it became the rations of the soldiers.

And Zhongli also issued an order: "Send the order down, return tomorrow."

"Yes, Son of God."

Going back to the city means that they don't have to go hunting tonight. It's rare for the soldiers to get a good night's sleep. When the sky is light, they get up and pack the wildebeest and bull.

There is no way for a wooden frame car to go in the mountains, so the frame can only be put on when you go down the mountain.

Zhongli carried a large basket on his back, and what was inside was not dried meat and weapons, but fresh herbs with dirt.

Herbal medicines are dug out after they have been detected with spiritual power to have medicinal value, and he wants to bring them back to Su Yao.

There was still dew in the mountains in the early morning. The soldiers rolled up their trouser legs to prevent their pants from getting wet. However, they found blood stains in the mountains within two hours of walking.

The bloodstains were scattered but left a lot of traces. It was not caused by one or two prey at first glance.

Zhong Li was stained with blood, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, then he looked up not far away.

good night!
