C14 The First Hunt!

When they finally brought the fish home, a huge black shadow rushed out of the night sky and pounced on Chang'e, who was walking at the back. Everyone's heart trembled. Wu Xiaoming quickly put down the huge fish in his hand and rushed over with a pounce. He raised his fist and threw it with all his strength.

"Stop! This is my mount, Huzi." Chang'e shouted anxiously. Wu Xiaoming secretly complained when he heard the shout, because he was concerned, so he threw out all his strength. It would be difficult to take it back, so he could only try his best to change the direction of his attack. With a loud bang, snowflakes danced in the air, and a huge fist print penetrated through the thick layer of snow and hit the ground half a meter deep.

"Human Emperor, I'm afraid your strength has surpassed mine." Uncle Di looked at the fist print that was half a meter deep and said happily.

With the help of the hazy moonlight, Wu Xiaoming could clearly see that the huge black shadow was the tiger chicken that he had tamed for the first time. For some reason, so many tiger chickens had escaped, but only it had returned. "Hmph, if you came back in the morning, I would definitely treat you as breakfast!" Wu Xiaoming glanced at the tiger chicken that was so scared that its head was lowered into the snow. "Hehe, how can Uncle Di compare with you?" Wu Xiaoming said humbly. Ever since he woke up, he realized that his strength and speed had become much stronger than before.

"Huzi, I didn't love you for nothing!" Chang'e excitedly hugged the tiger chicken's head and kissed it. Wu Xiaoming's eyes turned red. It turned out that every time Chang'e fed her, she would give him some bamboo rice and play with him. The tiger chicken flock had all run away when the Snow Beast attacked, so it seemed that this tiger chicken had finally found its way back.

Chang'e rode on the tiger chicken, dragging a huge fish in her hand as she chuckled and ran towards the cave.

"Human, even the bamboo rice is gone. What can I feed the tiger chicken with?" After dinner, Chang'e thought of her mount that still had nothing to eat. She asked with a worried face.

The tiger chicken should be a carnivore like the chickens in her previous life, right? "Now we only have fish. I'll feed it with fish meat with you. Let's see if it will eat it." Wu Xiaoming picked up a Stone Blade and pulled Chang'e's hand to feed the tiger chicken.

Seeing the tiger chicken that was eating very well, Wu Xiaoming felt that he should communicate with his clansmen about how to control wild beasts as a mount.

After returning to the cave, Wu Xiaoming gathered the clansmen who were about to sleep. "Do you know why Chang'e's mount came back by itself? Because Chang'e often fed it and even played with it. She treated it as a friend. Her tiger chicken naturally treated Chang'e as its family and treated our home as its own home. So it will return by itself. In the future, we will choose suitable animals to be our mounts and hunt with us. I plan to choose ferocious beasts like the Devourer Wolf, and the women should choose animals that can fly. Of course, it would be best if we all choose ferocious beasts as mounts. If we all have flying beasts as mounts, we can escape from the Snow Beasts last time from the sky and not be annihilated."

The clansmen all nodded in agreement, "Human Emperor, the fierce birds are all very fierce. It's very dangerous to capture them, and we can't guarantee that they won't fly away. I think we should find the smaller birds to tame the bigger ones. However, we rarely see them build their nests!" Uncle Di thought for a moment and said.

"En, there's no hurry. We will find a suitable place in the next spring. Alright, everyone, you should rest early after a tiring day. Have a good dream!" Wu Xiaoming said as he sat down cross-legged and started meditating.

"Human, I'll practice with you." As he spoke, he sat beside Wu Xiaoming. Chang'e looked at her mother and felt embarrassed. Her mother shook her head.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. The snow had completely melted, and the tender green grass had also secretly crawled out from the ground. The earth was full of life and vitality.

"Human Emperor, we will organize a hunt for spring." Uncle Di looked at the dozen or so young men and women who were running and cheering on the grass.

It was time to hunt. He had been eating fish for two months, and he was about to puke from eating too much. He could smell the fish's fishy smell with just one mouthful, and he would feel disgusted when he saw the fish.

"Alright, we will go out and hunt tomorrow! But what is a hunt for spring?" Wu Xiaoming asked curiously.

"Human Emperor, the hunt for spring was set by the Shennong Clan Chief, Fuxi Clan Chief, Suiren Clan Chief, Nvwa Clan Chief, and You Cha Clan Chief. When we are adults, we will go to the forest to hunt for prey. We will let the beautiful women choose. If she chooses your prey, you will share the prey with her tonight and become husband and wife." Uncle Di explained.

"The forest is so dangerous. Aren't we just sending them to their deaths?" Wu Xiaoming looked at Uncle Di in confusion.

"No, the chief and the other warriors were guarding us during the Spring Festival. If we chose a dangerous species, they would stop us. Chief, if you hunted any prey, the girls would choose you." Uncle Di looked at Wu Xiaoming, who was shorter than him last year, and he was now about the same height as him. All the young men and women had grown up. In the past, because of the lack of food, everyone had grown very slowly. Last year, they had not been short of food, but they had grown up in a year.

"Will Chang'e participate?" Wu Xiaoming looked at Uncle Di and asked, "She won't participate. I heard from her mother that the Mother God Nvwa had already given her an oracle." Wu Xiaoming knew that this would be the answer, but it was better to ask. What Mother God Nvwa? If there really was a god, then humans wouldn't have been almost extinct. He secretly criticized her. He didn't know that when he was criticizing the Mother God Nvwa, the Mother God Nvwa in the depths of the chaos was also frightened. "Then I won't participate either. There were originally seven men and women. If I participate again, wouldn't I be alone?"

The next morning, Uncle Di gathered his clansmen to hunt. The young men and women were all excited and cheered. Everyone was confident. "Everyone, be quiet. Remember to keep quiet after entering the forest. If you encounter any danger, immediately ask for help from your clansmen. The most important thing is to listen to orders. Let's go!" Uncle Di scolded the excited young men.

Walking along the path that the Snow Beast had opened, they entered the mysterious primitive forest. All kinds of ancient trees of different shapes and sizes were reflected in their eyes. Along the way, the trees were all over the place, and huge footprints could be clearly seen. The beasts were not something that humans could fight against. Wu Xiaoming was still in shock at the power of the Snow Beast. In the distance, all kinds of beast roars could be heard.

Uncle Di and the others bent their bodies, holding the Stone Axes as they quickly advanced. They accurately avoided the irregular vines, thorns, and branches along the way. Wu Xiaoming and the other young men followed Uncle Di and the others closely. Although Uncle Di and the others had already slowed down, only Dong could follow them without any pressure. The other six young men were already sweating profusely, and they were panting like cows. "Uncle Di, take a break and let everyone rest."

Uncle Di turned his head and looked back. Other than Human Emperor and Dong, the other young men were all in a sorry state. "Alright, everyone rest. You can go ahead and see if there are any prey!" The two warriors responded and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

"Everyone, take a break. We will reach the safe hunting point in a while." Uncle Di drank a mouthful of water and said. Everyone gathered together, drinking water and resting with their eyes closed. Suddenly, a five-colored spider silk fell from the sky, and it immediately clung onto Dong, quickly pulling him up. Dong shouted in fear. Wu Xiaoming grabbed one of Dong's legs and felt a huge force pull him away from the ground. He could only quickly pull out the Stone Blade from his waist with his left hand, and with a shake of his feet, he stepped on the trees and used the force to rise to the top of Dong's head. The Stone Blade quickly flashed past, and the five-colored spider silk snapped.

Only then did Uncle Di and the others react. When Wu Xiaoming and Dong landed on the ground, Uncle Di grabbed them and said, "Let's go, it's the Five-Colored Poison Spider!" Everyone didn't have time to rest and quickly evacuated from this dangerous place.

"Uncle Di, it's just a spider. Why are you so scared?" When everyone ran four or five miles away and saw two warriors lying on the ground motionlessly looking at a small lake in front of them, around the lake were forty to fifty wild deer drinking water.

"That thing is covered in poison. Touching it will kill you. Most importantly, it is a group animal. Usually, there are around three to four hundred of them. Human Emperor, do you know that you have to leave immediately after you see it?" Uncle Di carefully warned Wu Xiaoming.

"Yes, I know. How do you plan to hunt it? Oh right, Dong, are you alright?" Wu Xiaoming heard Uncle Di's serious words and was afraid that Dong would be poisoned. "Don't worry, Human Emperor. I'm fine!" Dong was anxious to prove himself and was about to stand up when he was stopped by Uncle Di.

"Everyone, aim at the deer and shoot out the javelins together." Uncle Di carefully instructed every warrior. Because it was a hunt in spring, every adult warrior had their own marks on their javelins. They had practiced it more than once. A distance of a hundred meters could accurately hit the target, so this hunt was very simple for everyone.

Everyone held their breaths. When they heard Uncle Di's signal to attack, they all aimed at the target they had chosen and shot out their javelins. With a series of miserable cries, nineteen huge wild deer were nailed to the ground, and the rest scattered.

This hunt was very simple for everyone. According to Uncle Di, they had to spend a few days to hunt in the past. Because they did not have any weapons, they could only use their fists to deal with the beasts. Most importantly, the wild beasts would not obediently stay where they were and fight to the death with you. Once there was a danger that endangered their lives, they would run for their lives, and you could only chase after them with your life on the line. It was already considered good if you could succeed once every ten tries.

"Everyone, quickly carry your prey and retreat." Just as Uncle Di finished speaking, he saw the rustling sound of leaves from above the forest. Wu Xiaoming raised his head and realized that there were thirty to forty huge Five-Colored Poison Spiders. Their heads were indeed that of beautiful women, and they were constantly letting out strange laughs.

"Hurry up!" Uncle Di was the first to run over and grab a huge deer. He ran in the other direction, and everyone followed closely behind. The Five-Colored Poison Spider was still chasing after them.
