Taming beasts starts with raising cats

"Are you afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid of death."

"I'm not afraid either."

"Okay, let's go hunting snow leopards."

Several people turned and left with a tacit understanding.

As we walked further away, the atmosphere in the air became lively.

"Is that magic?"

"It could also be magic."

"If the icicle hits us, how should we hide?" Zhou Xiaoshan asked.

"Repeatedly jumping horizontally?" Li Yundong said after pondering.

Thankfully the elk seemed to be vegetarian and not interested in them.

"The elk's abilities seem to have evolved in a targeted manner." Bai Ye said what he observed.

The icicles are used to freeze pine needles and can also freeze small or large animals.

In addition to being able to top pine trees, the hard antlers can also be used to top leopards and brown bears.

Finally, the thick fur not only keeps out the cold, but also protects against ice pine needles.

If it fell from such a high distance, it would be about the same as a steel needle.

To everyone, this is a tank that can release a "laser cannon".

It is also a tank that inherits the excellent endurance of vegetarian animals.

…

Continuing to walk eastward, it is already getting late.

The surrounding environment gradually darkened. Bai Ye and the others set off at three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was already six o'clock now, and it always gets dark earlier in the forest.

But Tong Ji and the others had no intention of going back yet.

Because there was no prey harvested today, it was a failed hunt in a sense. Before setting off, everyone agreed that if there was a harvest, they would return on the same day. If there was no harvest, they would stay in the wild for one more day and try to explore as far as possible.

As the food stored at home cannot make ends meet, many people have a sense of urgency.

"I stepped on it yesterday. There is a cave in front of me." Tong Ji said.

"I also found a treasure tree there."

Tong Ji said to Bai Ye mysteriously.

When he arrived at the cave that Tong Ji mentioned, he also saw the kind of tree at the entrance of the cave.

There are many such trees near the entrance of the cave, which happens to be a shady place. Without sunlight, the trees grow slowly and have a relatively high density.

The thickest diameter of this tree is as thick as a wrist. It is not very tall, only three or two meters.

There are many small leaves on it, no fruits, and no flowers.

Bai Ye tried to break it off. The toughness of this kind of tree was quite good.

"You want to make a bow and arrow...?" An idea flashed in Bai Ye's head.

"Yes!" Tong Ji said.

"Don't you think this tree is the most suitable for making bows and arrows? It's a natural bow handle material."

"With bows and arrows, we have the means to attack our prey from a distance."

Bai Ye was speechless. It turned out that this was the precious tree that this guy was talking about.

"You are really smart." Bai Ye gave a thumbs up.

"Don't think I can't see that you are scolding me." Tong Ji said.

The cave is a dry, empty cave with no trace of animals inside.

In the cave, several people were sitting apart, some distance apart. Two ladies were at the very back, rubbing their legs and communicating in a low voice.

Zhou Xiaoshan and Zhou Daling are in the middle of the cave.

Outside the cave, Bai Ye, Tong Ji, and Li Yundong were very free and easy. They took off their shoes and socks to fully release the smell of their feet in the air.

The cool breeze blows, and my feet feel refreshed.

At the same time, a faint sour smell spread,

The three men looked at each other, then sat silently and dispersed.

The looks in each other's eyes conveyed the meaning of disdain for each other.

They took out their own dry food from the packages they carried with them. The dry food for several people was very mixed.

Some are steamed and chilled dough, some are high-calorie candies and snacks, and some are simply fruits.

It is naturally impossible to be full, as long as you are not hungry.

After eating a simple dinner, Tong Ji used a knife to chop down a target tree that he had selected in advance, and cut down a branch of about 1.5 meters with a suitable length.

Then Tong Ji sat by the cave and trimmed the branches with a knife.

He took out a bundle of wires that had been prepared in advance from his backpack.

Bai Ye doesn't know how to make a bow.

So he was stealing Tong Ji's moves, and Tong Ji didn't shy away from it, showing it openly and openly.

"Actually, it's best to use tendons, or even hemp rope, but I don't have either, so I just use steel wire, but it's a bit laborious." Tong Ji said to Bai Ye. "When I have better materials in the future, I will definitely make a better bow."

During the process of making the bow, Tong Ji would point out to Bai Ye from time to time why he was doing this and what details he needed to pay attention to.

…

At night, a few people found some dead wood and leaves and made a simple bonfire.

The wood and leaves crackled in the fire.

It was a bit cold at night, but it was much warmer around the campfire.

Several people agreed to take turns to stay on duty at night, with Dou Juan, Peng Xiuying and Tong Ji in the first group, Zhou Daling and Zhou Xiaoshan in the second group, and Bai Ye and Li Yundong in the last group.

Each group stayed on duty for two hours.

There was nothing unusual in the first hour, and the shift was changed smoothly.

Zhou Daling and Zhou Xiaoshan were woken up.

After the two woke up, they filled the campfire with firewood.

"Dad, we are really with this murderer. Why don't we find a reason to kick him out." Zhou Xiaoshan whispered to his father.

He always felt a bit intimidated to be in the same team as Bai Ye, who had killed people before.

I also felt that Bai Ye might not be a good person.

Zhou Daling shook his head, "No, this guy has a good relationship with Tong Ji."

Although it is not stated explicitly. But Tong Ji has unknowingly gained a status similar to that of a leader in the team.

Li Yundong convinced him, Dou Juan also had a good relationship with him, and Bai Ye was also brought in by Tong Ji.

Peng Xiuying was also drawn into the team by Dou Juan.

Four people in the team are related to Tong Ji, and most people in the small team are related to him.

But if you really don't enjoy your stay, you can of course leave the team.

But in fact, he is very good in Tong Ji's team. Tong Ji is more disciplined in dividing things, distinguishes between public and private, and has a good manner. This is why Zhou Daling is willing to join Tong Ji's team.

"The murder is not necessarily all his fault. It is not so easy to say right or wrong. In this world, it is not black and white." As a father, Zhou Daling understands better than his son Zhou Xiaoshan. More truth.

Unless there is an entangled relationship of interest, it is easy to hate or offend someone just because of personal likes and dislikes.

In Zhou Daling's opinion, it's not worth it.

He hopes his son can understand this truth.

Zhou Xiaoshan was silent. Of course he had heard of this old-fashioned bowl of chicken soup.

But although chicken soup is good, it will make you tired after drinking too much.

"My main concern is that if that guy gets interested in wealth when sharing food in the future, he will have two after killing one person." Zhou Xiaoshan said.

"By the way... He has already killed two people, and he definitely doesn't mind killing two more. I know those two people are not good people, and they also leaked the fact that we have fruit, but it is not a crime. Damn it, and he had already killed one person, and he rushed in and killed another one as well. "

Zhou Daling looked at his silly son and shook his head silently. He was still too protective of him before.

My stupid son is as innocent as Li Yundong.

Haloxylon ammodendron......

Suddenly, there was a sound from the bushes not far away.

The two immediately stopped communicating and stared at the bushes intently.

Suddenly, a small, brown figure emerged from the grass.

"Rabbit!?" Zhou Xiaoshan couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes almost glowing.

Zhou Daling covered his son's mouth.

The rabbit turned its back to the two of them and jumped into the bushes.

The two looked at each other and then at the people sleeping beside the campfire behind them.

He hesitated.

Their duty is to keep vigil if left.

It might be dangerous.

but......

"I'll go, Dad, stay here." Zhou Xiaoshan said.

"I'll go, you stay here. If anything happens, wake the others up." Zhou Daling stood up and picked up the weapons he had made in the past two days.

A long wooden gun.

The top was sharpened to a sharp point, and a few rusty iron pieces were inserted into the sides.

Zhou Daling held the spear, stood on tiptoes, and leaned over cautiously.

The rabbit jumped forward a few steps.

Zhou Daling followed.

Whenever Zhou Daling wanted to quietly approach to a safe distance and then throw a wooden gun, the rabbit would run forward a few steps.

Looking at his father's back, Zhou Xiaoshan felt inexplicably panicked.

The bonfire beside him was burning, making a crackling sound.

Zhou Xiaoshan felt a little uneasy in his heart. Somehow, he suddenly turned his head and looked to his right. At this glance, he was completely stunned.

Because right behind him, a brown-gray long-haired wolf with a strong physique and more than one meter tall had crawled closer to less than seven or eight meters away.

And on the back of the long-haired wolf, there was a much smaller creature with two legs curled up on the wolf's back that also looked like a wolf.

Realizing that he had been discovered, the brown-gray long-haired wolf sped up and pounced on Zhou Xiaoshan.

Zhou Xiaoshan screamed in horror, then rolled around in a panic, grabbing everything in his hand and throwing it away.

Stones, leaves...

"Wow!" A black shadow rushed out of the cave.

Tong Ji's black-backed wolfdog rushed out from the side, and the brown-gray long-haired wolf turned around nimbly to avoid the wolfdog's attack.

It was discovered that their sneak attack failed, and everyone in the cave was awakened.

The much smaller wolf on the brown and gray furry wolf's back let out a cry.

Zhou Xiaoshan noticed that the much smaller wolf was staring at him. In the darkness, its eyes were pale green.

These eyes were like needles, piercing the fear in his heart.

Zhou Xiaoshan stepped back in panic.

The brown-gray long-haired wolf turned around and disappeared into the woods.
