Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 91: Freeze!

“What are you doing? A trap?” Mike came over and asked.

“When the river rises, you can stand on it.” The man standing next to Mai laughed.

They don't know why Shao Xuan and Langa did this, but the hunting team knows that Langa is interested in setting traps. Although most of the time it's just about groundbows and other sets, there are other types.

Langa said Shao Xuan and his thoughts, people are also curious. As for setting up such a fishgate here, it is not only not an obstacle but also a convenience for them, when the water can rise and jump on it.

“It's time for you to go back. Let's go on patrol tonight, Langa. You'll bring someone in early tomorrow to change.” Mike said.

“Okay, I'll finish this one and go back. Didn't notice earlier, now I'm really hungry.” Langa touched her stomach and looked at her achievements with great satisfaction.

Shao Xuan, who had already completed his last fishing grill, found that those who came with wheat, in addition to carrying their own stoneware and a bag of animal leather with food, had also brought a web of grass rope weaving.

“Uncle Mac, what do you do with grass nets?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Well,” McGee chuckled, "naturally it's food. ”

Seeing that Shao Xuan was still confused, Mac said: "Tomorrow you'll know when you get here. By the way, remember to bring a bigger net bag when you come tomorrow. ”

Shao Xuan prepared a net bag even though he didn't know what they were using it for.

The next morning, Shao Xuan took Caesar and Zhang to Lao Ke's side and then went to the patrol land.

By the time Shao Xuan arrived, Langa and the same group of patrols were already there. And what surprised Shao Xuan was that their grass net was filled with a watermelon spiral!

Not only that, but you can also see close to the bank of the river, where the surface reveals a growing apex, all spirals, coming towards the bank of the river.

Though it doesn't look like much right now, if it keeps going like this, by the time the patrol is over, everyone will have a lot of it, and look at Mac and they'll know.

Their shells are thick, and even cannibals in the river may not be able to take them, but tribal people are different, and after all, people use tools to pull them out of their shells.

“Don't look at these shells as hard, but after you take them back and cook them, the shells can easily break after a while. There were people who wanted to make things out of their shells before. I didn't expect to put them away for a while, and they broke as soon as I hit them.” Mai said to Shao Xuan.

No wonder Langa doesn't worry about the amount of energy these spirals provide, even if they don't provide enough energy to solve the food problem there.

According to Mac, these spirals do not normally come out, and only after the rainy season officially begins will they land in large numbers. Well, these spirals are not very aggressive, which is simply the rations provided to people who are physically in short supply during the rainy season.

I don't know if there are any parasites, but the people who see the tribe, after all these years of eating, should be fine.

Now that the shift-shifters have arrived, Mac and the others will not stay long, it will rain overnight, hurry back to eat and sleep, rest and come back to continue patrolling.

“You stay here and whistle if you find anything unusual you can't handle. Do you hear me?” Mac said to Langa and others.

“Yes, it's not the first rainy season patrol. Xuan, I've already told him. I'll take it with me. Don't worry.” Langa waved at the wheat and rushed right over to continue looking at yesterday's fish grille.

The rain has not stopped, at best it has occasionally fallen a little, the river has risen considerably compared to yesterday, and more than half of yesterday's fish grille closest to the river has been submerged in the water.

To this extent, no fish will enter. It is still early, and no abnormality was found in the river surface. Shao Xuan picked up the spiral with the others.

They don't know which genus they are, they look different, and they come in many threads and colors, but Langa says they can eat them, and Shao Xuan doesn't care that much anymore. Just wait for them to climb ashore and pick them up and throw them in the grass net. It's just that they stick tightly to the ground, and where there are rocks that are smoother, you have to push harder to pull them off the rocks.

Half-day patrol, nothing happened, except for all these spirals climbing to the riverbank. When Shao Xuan returned, he sent a lot of nuts to the children in the cave and to Old Ke's side. Anyway, he couldn't eat so much of them. Caesar didn't eat this. The chirping was fresh for a while. He was just trying to peck the nuts out of the shell. It was just fun.

On the third day of Shao Xuan's patrol, the riverside has completely surpassed the first fish grille. The first grille was not large, but only two metres in diameter, which was too small to be reconstructed, but rather much larger when the second grille was being built, so that when the water crossed the first grille, the second grille, almost in parallel with the first, was only partially submerged in the water.

“What do you say?” Langa over there threw the picked screws into the grass net and shouted at Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan stood beside the first fishgate and looked closely inside.

No fish...

Apart from that, there was no cannibal activity around, much less other fish, which seemed to have disappeared.

I can't believe I didn't see a single fish when the water was rising!

So, the fish-grille is white?

No, you'll see what's in the river, besides the fish.

Keep it. Shao Xuan looked at the grilles at his feet, intending to leave them here for now, and then remove them after the tide had receded, which would not hinder the patrol anyway.

“Nothing!” Shao Xuan replied.

Standing up to go ashore, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a chill sweep.

It's dangerous!

I was about to jump off the fishgrill to the riverbank, but I heard Langa screaming.

“Don't move! Don't move!! ”

Move or don't move? These two thoughts flashed in Shao Xuan's head. In the end, Shao Xuan decided to stay there according to Langa's words.

Though not moving, the muscles all over the body are ready, but as soon as things change, the next move will be made, and the hand has just touched the stone knife.

Over there, Langa had failed to pick up the nuts, and others came over and threw the screws in his hand at the other side of the water 30 meters from Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan could hear the noise of the spiral falling into the river, but that needle-like gaze was still there. Shao Xuan had been stuck there, holding the position he had just taken, and the tattoo did not move.

As soon as I looked up, I could see the cold source of my gaze, but at this moment, Shao Xuan withstood and his eyes didn't twitch.

Not far from Shao Xuan, sometime a triangular head appeared on the surface of the water with the eyes of two drums.

At this time, there was not a loud sound coming from the water ahead, nor was it evident in the surrounding raindrops, but Shao Xuan could hear clearly.

“Shh!”

Shao Xuan: “…"

Nima!

He finally figured out why Langa told him not to move.
