From the top of the mountain to leaving the tribe, Caesar received a lot of attention.

When you walk down the path of glory, people on both sides of the road focus almost all their attention on it.

Why is the wolf going out with the hunting team?

Are they crazy?!

Such a novelty is enough to keep people in the tribe talking for a long time.

First time hunting with the team, Langa told Shao Xuan: Nothing to do, just keep up. And now, Caesar's first test is to “keep up."

Tribes go out hunting with prior training and instruction from their predecessors, while Caesar, after walking into the mountain forest, shows more of the beast's instincts.

With such instincts, Caesar became more excited when faced with unfamiliar surroundings, without fear, without retreating. Even if he was locked up in the tribe for two years, growing up in the tribe, coming out, into this mountain forest, the wildness stirred up, running like a free breeze, if not allowed by the hunting team, he couldn't help but have a voice.

At first, Caesar was curious about his surroundings, sniffing around, but after Shao Xuan warned him a few times, he had converged a lot, and now, under the influence of instinct, he followed the hunting team without delaying his legs.

Sometimes the hunting team passes directly through the trees, and Caesar cannot climb the trees, just below. Slowly slowing down in the open, accelerating in the dark and starting to run, is a nature hidden in Caesar's blood, which has not been manifested in the tribe, and is evident in the mountain forests.

Seeing Caesar has been following and nothing has caused any disturbance, and the hunting team is reassured. Caesar also helped the hunting team lead a large beast and easily returned to the team.

Turn over the mountain, come to the first position, take a night's rest, start the morning, go down the mountain hunting.

On the way down, Langa said to Shao Xuan: “Xuan, keep an eye on Caesar. There are traps in this next piece. Be careful not to let it be...”

Before the end of the conversation, Langa saw that Caesar had gone to the place with the trap, sniffing right and left, seemed to be walking around, but no foot was in the trap.

The hunting team also slowed down and looked over there.

In this part of the world, there are very few large beasts and ferocious beasts, and traps are set here, mainly to prevent, and if other large beasts or ferocious beasts catch up to the mountains, they can be used to stop them.

But at this moment, Caesar was walking inside, and there was no sound from any trap.

Coincidence?

It's a coincidence that Caesar left more than just a few traps, but by now, not a single place has been driven.

Everyone looked at Langa on the side. Langa's face was red and his eyebrows were even stirred. Obviously, the situation in front of him was unexpected.

“I have taught it to identify some traps, and there is usually a lot of practice in this area.” Shao Xuan said calmly. He had long expected that the traps over there would not pose a threat to Caesar, and in the tribe, such traps were a daily necessity for training.

“It... dodges the trap?” Langa swallowed the pharyngeal spit, which was unacceptable.

If even a beast like this knows how to avoid a trap, then who will it be? Is it nice to put it there?

“When I got back this afternoon, I changed the one over there.” Langa said heavily. He didn't really do much work in the trap over there. After all, the chances of using it are not very good. It is rare to use it once a year. Every time he comes here, he just checks to see if the trap is broken or not, and if there is a small beast getting in by mistake.

Looking at Langa like this, Mac thought it was funny, "Come on, the beast knows how to learn, Langa, you have to be more careful. ”

After descending the mountain, Caesar did not run any further, but followed Shao Xuan closely and watched his surroundings.

This place down the hill was short of three thorny black winds last year, but soon other beasts entered the area, so it still can't be taken lightly.

“Mac, there's a hole!” The man in charge of the investigation whispered.

Others are delighted to hear the tall words.

“Where?!” After ascertaining that there were no dangerous beasts nearby, the crowd immediately surrounded the past towards Ang.

Shao Xuan, accompanied by Caesar, also made his way, only to see Ang open a bunch of grass with his knees, a small hole revealed.

“They're out!” Unhappy tunnel.

“They” in the mouth is a kind of green rodent, they are called "grass rats” by the hunting team, because they look like green grass, they have thicker hairs, they resemble grass, it is difficult to be spotted by the hunting team when they are quiet in the grass, they come out during the day and night.

The reason people on the hunting team are so excited is actually for this time of year, a plant that grows on grasshoppers, rat wood.

Mouse trees are a kind of seedling camp parasitic plant, the seeds resemble a kind of nut that grass rats like to eat. Every winter, grass rats collect food from all over the mountain forest, and then hoard it in holes several meters deep underground, storing a wealth of food, hiding in holes all winter, eating, drinking and sleeping.

But this basin under the mountain, the climate is different from that of the mountain, and winter is much warmer than that of the mountain when it doesn't snow all year round. Even so, herbivores living in this basin maintain the habit of hibernation.

Nearly in winter, the grass rats in the basin started hoarding holes for winter. Throughout the winter, they slept most of the time. When they woke up, they went to the "granary" to find food. After eating, they went to sleep.

However, the rodent seeds recovered from the grasshopper cave, after being eaten, began to germinate, peeled out of the grasshopper and grew into a seedling similar to that of a grasshopper. The energy needed for rat trees to grow comes from grass rats, because there is no sunshine in the underground hole.

A whole winter later, when the winter over the mountain is over, when the grass rat comes out of the hole again, the mouse wood seedlings are almost grown and will come off the grass rat at a suitable time, start to wood and grow independently. And this is within 50 days of the end of winter.

Shao Xuan saw the mouse tree in the mountain forest, very huge tree, hard to imagine, such a giant tree, from germination to seedling period, was actually parasitic on the herbivore.

Mulberry trees before they are ligned are of great benefit to people. Children who have eaten mulberry seedlings will have better health and wake up times in advance. Of course, there is also an amount of effect in them. The more they eat, the more obvious the effect will be. Even if the awakening time is not shortened, it strengthens the body.

Many of the hunting teams have unawakened children in their homes. For them, if they wake up a year in advance, there will be an extra soldier in the house, and they will be able to go hunting a year in advance, and there will be more food. For the awakened warriors, murine seedlings also have a certain detoxification effect, which is better than the kit they usually use.

These are not necessarily rare for people on tribal hills, but for people under the hill, murine seedlings are very appealing.

The hard part is that the herbivores are hard to grab, they have too much stealth, and when you leave the hole, you don't know where you're going. There are plenty of entrances to the hole, hold one, and it can still get in and out of the other hole, unless you clog all the other ones. Secondly, we have to hurry. If the mouse tree has been disengaged from the grass rat, it's useless to find it.

Mac looked carefully at the soil in the hole and said calmly: "Look at the soil, they should be out for at least half a day. ”

It's been a while since I heard that everyone's happiness has cooled down a lot. They've been holed up for so long, can you find them?

“Can Caesar find it?” Ang looked at Caesar and asked Shao Xuan.

“Try it.” Shao Xuan said.

When they heard that, the excitement flared slightly cooler.

“Is it really searchable? ”

“I don't know how to find him. He hasn't seen a herbivore. ”

“All right, let Caesar try first.” Mike prevents others from continuing to ask. His two children are awake and do not need the assistance of murine saplings, but they can also try to find it for its detoxification.

Caesar sniffed into the hole at the behest of Shao Xuan and walked around the hole again, seemingly sure of something. He had never seen a herbivore, but there was a biological smell around the hole, which was a herbivore.

Caesar took a few steps in one direction and turned back to Shao Xuan.

“Uncle Mac, probably over there.” Shao Xuan said.

“Keep up! ”

The crowd followed Caesar, not very fast, and sometimes cautioned when they encountered a vicious beast.

Caesar, who tracked the state, seemed very excited, and as it accelerated, Shaw Xuan knew that they were getting closer and closer to the herbivore.

Whoa!

Caesar burst out like an arrow, jumping high, leaping over a row of bushes in front and into a bush higher than man's.

“Caesar!” Shao Xuan was somewhat concerned that Caesar was too excited to ignore some of the dangers hidden in the grass.

The grass was so dense that I couldn't see what was hidden inside, and I didn't know what was happening inside. Only after Caesar rushed in, he burst out of the grass in a hurry, listening only to a "squeak." Soon, Caesar rushed out of the grass again.

Seeing Caesar, the tight muscles were slightly loose, but soon they were attracted to Caesar by the green hairs in his mouth.

“It's a grasshopper! ”

“Come on, come on! Xuan, see if the grass mouse has rat wood! ”

Everyone got excited.

Caesar held the herbivore, but did not bite it, nor did he bite.

Shao Xuan pulled the drafting rat from Caesar's mouth. Without this green hair, the grass rat would probably be two fist sizes, but wearing green hair, his head would expand threefold.

However, when held in hand, Shao Xuan was able to feel the wasting of the grass rat, all as a result of the murine parasite.

I didn't see the baldness of the mouse tree detachment. I looked carefully. Shao Xuan's gaze was placed on a slightly thicker “fur” than the other green fur. His other hand put the stone knife back in the waist room. He twisted the green “fur” up empty-handed. I saw a fine brown wooded circle at the root of this green “fur". Shao Xuan was sure to be authentic: “Still! ”

Pass the grass rat to the people next to him and let them cut off the green-haired rodent seedling, and he looks around.

When Caesar went in earlier, he had a bad feeling, good thing Caesar came out soon. Now, not only has that bad feeling not disappeared, but it's getting stronger.

After sweeping Caesar's eyes, he flushed the wolf of the herbivore. At this moment, the hair on his back stood.

“Uncle Mac!” Shao Xuan lowered his voice.

Watching the squad member cut the mouse wood, Mai saw Shao Xuan like this, realizing that it was wrong, and made a gesture at the others.
