Chapter 86: -Hunting

Inside the cave, the witch sitting in the distance with the old patriarch was a little absent-minded. She turned her head to look at Ji Thief from time to time. Every time she saw Ji Thief when he was feeding snow and drinking soup, she couldn't help feeling a little bit. Feeling sour.
She stood up with a chuckle, the old patriarch was taken aback, and asked in a panic: "Wizard, what's the matter with you? Is something wrong?"
The witch blushed and was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing, me, I'm going to talk to the warrior about something."
The old patriarch breathed a sigh of strength when he heard the words, and couldn't help but pat his chest, and said, "I was scared to death. I thought something had happened."
The witch bowed her head and did not answer, and hurried to the side of Ji Zei.
"Warrior, I have something to tell you." The witch forced her composure, but her blushing face was a little out of place.
The thief raised his head and looked: "What? Master Wizard, please tell me."
The witch looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to herself, so she knelt down in front of Ji Thief and said, "Warrior, don't you think we have a big problem to solve now?"
"What?" Ji Thief didn't understand, always feeling that the witch was talking in the mist.
"For example, prey. Look, at Aniu’s current rate, only two prey can be obtained a day. The tribes don’t have enough food, let alone handed in to the Black Mountain tribe, in case the Black Mountain tribe comes to ask for it. What do we do if we can't hand over the prey?" the witch asked.
Speaking of this, Ji Thief couldn't help being solemn. Yes, this is a big problem. In the embarrassing stage when there are only twelve laborers in his hand, how can he obtain forty prey? Although I want to wait for the people of the clan to recover and try hard to make up for this number, what if the people of the clan recover slowly?
No one knows when they will get better.
If it is better within ten days, or on the tenth day, then the problem will be serious.
No, you have to find a way.
Thinking about it, Ji Thief put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Or, I will go with Aniu and the others tomorrow."
The witch widened her eyes: "My Lord Warrior, do you go too?"
The thief nodded: "Yes, by the way, I will gather some licorice and come back. The ones I picked before are not enough."
"But warrior, you, okay?" The witch never expected Ji Thief to say that he would also participate in the hunt. For a while, she couldn't help but question Ji Thief.
She has never seen Ji Thief hunting, how can she believe that Ji Thief can hunt successfully?
Facing the witch's gaze, Ji Thief smiled, and he patted his chest: "Man, there is no time when it is impossible."
Witch: "???"
"Okay, everyone has a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will go out with Aniu. In the tribe, I will leave it to the patriarch and you." Ji Thief said.
The witch recovered and nodded.
Ji Thief fed Xuexue and drank some soup, then everyone blew out the bonfire and lay in the cave to sleep together.
Since the loss of the wooden door, everyone can only feel safe in their hearts by leaning against each other.
When the dawn came the next day, the thief woke up early, picked up the iron spear, packed up neatly, and after explaining the relevant matters, he led the eight tribesmen including Aniu Usma out of the valley. Plunged into the forest.
This is the first hunting of Ji thief. Without any experience, he behaved like most rookies.
Knowing that hunting is not his strong point, Ji thief gave the command to Aniu.
It was just a morning, and they were just wasting their energy. The big animals were not afraid of them, and even dared to attack them to protect their companions who were hit by the flying rocks.
The small animals ran when they saw them. The speed was far beyond what Ji Thief and others could catch up with.
One morning passed, and everyone was empty.
Ji Thief felt a little discouraged, although from the expressions of Aniu and the others, this result was normal.
But Ji Thief has a kind of thing that he followed today. If he still brings back the poor two antelopes, what use is there to come out by himself? Do you watch a show?
"Sir Warrior, should we take a break?" Aniu who was looking for the way in front said suddenly.
Ji Zei, who felt a little tired, hummed and nodded.
As a result, everyone spread out and sat under the tree to rest. Several thirsty clansmen continued to swallow saliva.
After busy all morning, Ji Zei felt a little smoke in his throat, and shook his head from side to side while pinching his throat.
"Master Warrior, shall I find some water for you?" Aniu asked as if he saw Ji thief.
The thief waved his hand: "No, I'm fine now, not very thirsty."
Originally, he didn't catch the prey that caused his anxiety. If he wasted everyone's precious physical strength because of himself, then the thief would be very self-blaming.
It's a mess if I can't help.
Seeing Ji's refusal, Aniu had no choice but to scream and sat on the ground without speaking.
Ji thief fanned the wind with his hand and untied the animal skin on his upper body to cool off.
"Aniu." Ji Thief shouted.
Aniu hurriedly agreed: "What's the matter, Lord Warrior?"
"Did you hunt in the same way before?" Ji Thief asked.
Ah Niu nodded: "Yes, everyone hunts like this. Most of the time, we are looking for prey that we can start. There are too many, and we can't hold them. If the number is too small, those things are very alert."
Usma interrupted and said: "Generally, a few animals are driven out of the group because of their old age. They have very rich experience and ran away with a little movement."
The thief nodded, understanding this truth.
The jungle has always been the world of animals. Compared with humans, they are more patient, more experienced, and the idea of ​​survival is stronger. It can be said that every animal is a master of survival, hunting, It's really not that easy.
"By the way, Lord Warrior, why don't you see the Sabretooth Tiger?"
When Ji Zei was thinking about something, Usma asked suddenly.
The thief was taken aback: "The Sabretooth Tiger? Didn't it follow us?"
"Nothing."
Ji Thief stood up with a chuckle, and asked anxiously: "Damn it, when did it disappear."
It was also seen that the expression on Ji Thief's face did not seem to be false, and Usma shook a clever: "Well, I don't know this, Lord Warrior, I, I just haven't seen it for a long time."
"Did it meet other predators?" Ah Niu asked with wide eyes.
Ji Thief stood up with a chuckle: "Hurry up and find it."
As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of rustling leaves rubbing in the jungle.
When everyone heard the sound, they quickly grabbed their weapons and pointed them in the direction of the sound.
Ji Zei also stood up with the tree trunk and put the iron spear horizontally in front of him.
Although Ji Thief doesn't have much jungle experience, he also knows that in the jungle, the weak eat the strong, and there is no fair competition.
It is very possible that while looking for prey, he was spotted by other more powerful predators.
The frequency of the swaying of the vegetation has become even higher, and everyone can't help but sweat, and the hands holding the weapons can't help but tighten two points.
The birds on the tree also felt the tense atmosphere, and consciously stopped singing.
For a time, in the huge mountains and forests, there was only the sound of the rustling wind and the sound of approaching footsteps.
"If you lose the fight later, everyone can run a few runs." Ji Thief lowered his voice.
Everyone nodded, and Aniu responded: "Warrior, you go first."
Ji Thief just wanted to talk, but didn't want to, when the bushes that were tall in front of him suddenly separated.
With a brush, a head came out of the bush.
"Blade, Sabretooth Tiger?"
With eyes facing each other, Ji Thief looked at it, and it also looked at Ji Thief.
After half a day, the thief only reacted, put away the iron spear and ran up, and couldn't help but complain in a complaining tone: "Where have you been?"
The Sabretooth Tiger looked up at Ji Thief. There was a bunch of fruit in its mouth. When Ji Thief questioned it, he whimpered twice, opened his mouth, and put the fruit at Ji Thief's feet.
"Have you gone to find fruit for everyone?" Ji Thief asked Sabertooth in surprise.
Sabretooth responded.
"Really, next time I leave, please say hello anyway, everyone is worried about you." Ji Thief couldn't help complaining.
Sabertooth lowered his head, like a kid who did something wrong.
In the past, he picked up the fruit and gave it to everyone, Ji Thief relieved everyone: "Okay, you don't need to be nervous, don't be nervous, sit down and rest first."
With that, he wiped the fruit on the skin of the animal, opened his mouth and bit a piece into his mouth.
Well, it's a bit sour.
Ji Zei wrinkled her face, this fruit was like drinking vinegar, just a mouthful, let her saliva flow out along the corner of her mouth.
So sour!
Reluctantly swallowed the fruit, just as Ji Zei was about to ask where the Sabretooth tiger got such sour fruit, he heard a series of strange noises coming from the air along the wind.
For a while, Ji Thief's just relaxed spirit tightened again.
