Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 79 Hunting
After completing the preparatory work, Jiatu and the others began to make weapons.

When leaving the cave camp, Sun Simiao didn't let them take away anything except clothes (including Jiatu's cane), but it didn't bother Jiatu and the others.

There are branches everywhere in the mountain forest. If you find a long, rough and straight tree, step it down, peel off the bark, and you can make the trunk into a spear shaft.

Then go to the edge of the pool, find a few more suitable slender pebbles, stand them up and beat them with other stones. If you are lucky, you can make a very sharp stone spear point.

Then aim the spear point at the top of the trunk, and beat it with a stone hammer along the trunk fiber to create a groove, then put the stone spear point in reverse, and finally knead the stripped bark into three strands of hemp rope. The spear point and the groove are fastened firmly together.

A handle of the most primitive stone spear was made.

This primitive weapon seemed crude, but in the hands of Jiatu and the others, it was enough to pierce through the deerskin with ease.

From noon to dusk, Jiatu and the others tried their best to make four stone spears.

While they were working, the girl kept watching from a distance, neither helping nor coming to chat.

"Hey...you don't participate in the work, do you want to help me in the battle?"

Jiatu thought about it, and felt that such a person was useless, so he also waved to the girl from a distance:

"We haven't eaten since yesterday, even for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow morning, shouldn't you help?"

The girl seemed to hear Jiatu's voice.

She who had kept her head down all the time suddenly raised her head.

There was no emotion in the black pupils.

But Jiatu always felt that she should agree.

"I put the stone spear here, you come and get it yourself!"

Jiatu raised the stone spear as a gesture, and leaned it against the tree trunk.

Then, together with Wei Wei, they slowly retreated to the pool.

"That's not good?"

Wei Wei whispered beside Jiatu: "We don't know whether she is an enemy or a friend..."

"At least she followed us all the way, which means that there is not much hostility."

Jiatu nodded and said, "And do you think she will follow us after we have weapons?"

"what do you mean……?"

Wei Wei asked tentatively.

"It's scary to beat a wolf with a hemp stick."

Jiatu explained: "If it was me, seeing that the person I followed had a weapon in his hand, but I was still empty-handed, then no matter what my original intention was, I would retreat."

"In this unfamiliar place, if we can have one more man, it's better to have one more man."

Noticing Wei Wei's hesitant gaze, Jiatu comforted him and said, "No matter how dangerous she is, can she be compared with people from another world? We can't stand ten random farmers with pitchforks."

"Okay, I understand, Brother Jia Tu."

Wei Wei tightly clenched the stone spear in his hand: "As long as she doesn't come to offend us, I will definitely not take the initiative to attack her!"

.

After confirming their willingness to cooperate, Jiatu and Wei Wei lurked.

Gator hid in a creek above the pool.

And Wei Wei hid on the high ground on the other side.

As long as the angle is right, they can quickly jump from the high ground and block the left and right sides of the pool.

After the girl picked up the stone spear on the ground, she disappeared into the forest. Even with Jiatu's eyesight, she couldn't see where she went.

"Two people are still too few, I hope she can come in handy..."

Jiatu didn't have much confidence in this night's hunt, but after thinking about it, he decided to trust the training mechanism of the shelter——

Although he himself is not a product of this mechanism, there is a reason why the shelter can last for a hundred years.

After choosing a good location, Jiatu and the others lurked hungry.

Because of the farmland, although they can also steal some pumpkins to make a fire for cooking, but this will also leave a lot of traces of activities.

So in order not to startle the snake, they endured it silently.

Jiatu took a nap on the ground for a while.

At about 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the clone of Cyber ​​City, and squinted carefully.

Beside the water pool, two or three dwarf deer have already appeared, drinking water with their heads down!

Jiatu turned his head to look at Wei Wei who was still sleeping soundly not far away, picked up a small stone and threw it precisely.

"Um...how..."

Wei Wei muttered subconsciously, and raised his head in a daze with sleepy eyes.

But he soon realized what he was doing and shut his mouth quickly.

A dwarf deer next to the water pool seemed to hear the movement, raised its head, and looked around, but after a while, it lowered its head and continued to lick the mountain spring.

With the help of moonlight, Jiatu gestured to Wei Wei.

The two lowered their bodies and moved slowly down the hillside.

As the two people got closer, the smell on their bodies gradually drifted to the side of the pool.

The three dwarf deer suddenly fled in three different directions as if they had been frightened!

"Catch 'em! Don't let 'em get away!"

It was also Jiatu's first time hunting, so he could only make up for his lack of experience with arrogance.

He took the lead in jumping down the hillside, but fell staggeringly because one foot landed on the ground.

When he stood still, the dwarf deer he was targeting had already been pierced to the ground by a stone spear!

"Hoo... Thank you for your hard work."

Jiatu looked at the girl who got up from the grass and fallen leaves and took a little breath.

The girl was still hunched over, staring at him fiercely, and the dwarf deer not far away proved her worth.

Realizing what the girl was guarding against, Jiatu put the stone spear in his hand on the ground and raised his hand.

Then the girl turned around and walked towards the dwarf deer, squatted down and began to operate on the dwarf deer.

"Brother Jia Tu!"

A little later, Wei Wei ran over panting.

He was empty-handed, and there was no smell of blood on his body, which meant he had failed.

But when he saw the girl drinking blood, he was still stunned:

"What is she doing..."

"Cutting off the deer's legs."

Jiatu said succinctly: "The stone spear is not sharp enough, she bit it with her teeth."

After tearing off the deerskin, the girl cut off a deer's front leg, and then disappeared into the forest holding the deer's leg.

Jiatu didn't know where she was going, but after this cooperation, he estimated that she would not go far.

Jiatu and Wei Wei also dealt with the remaining dwarf deer after the girl left.

Two hind legs and one front leg were soaked in the cold mountain spring water together with the deerskin on them, while the ribs and other parts of the body were cut off by Jiatu and the others and roasted.

To be honest, venison without any seasoning is a bit like beef, dry and woody, with a strong earthy smell, it can be said to be completely unpalatable.

But hunger is the best seasoning. Except for the first time when the venison was roasted, Jiatu roasted the venison like beef until it was half-cooked. , ripping chunks of venison off the ribs in one bite.

After eating two or three whole ribs like this, both Jiatu and Wei Wei were full.

Looking at the remaining two cooked ribs in his hand, Jiatu raised them up and shouted towards the depths of the forest:

"There are two leftovers here. If you still want to eat, I will put them here! Come and get them yourself!"

Then he and Wei Wei cleaned up briefly and planned to sleep.

Jiatu has never paid much attention to the existence of the girl.

A big reason is the existence of Cyber ​​City.

As long as Xu Yang is still awake, he will be able to react instantly when the girl approaches him 10 meters away.

However, what Jiatu didn't expect was that he was still careless.
