C7 Tigerhead Fish
Wu Xiaoming used his hands to press down on the ground. After the clansmen stopped cheering, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, I accept the title of Human Emperor. From today onwards, we will work together. I will make everyone stay away from hunger and cold."
The people cheered again, their voices shaking the sky. Suddenly, the rolling thunder sounded from the pitch-black night sky, as if Wu Xiaoming's declaration had received the approval of the heavens.
The night was slightly cold, and the clansmen were noisy for half an hour before they went back to the cave to sleep. Wu Xiaoming could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but how could he solve the problem of food?
Wu Xiaoming thought about it carefully. It was impossible for Uncle Di and the others to go out and hunt tomorrow. He had originally planned to stock up on meat, but now it seemed that he needed to think of another way.
As the saying goes, one should rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and one should rely on the water to eat the water. Now that they were at the mountains and rivers, it was impossible for them to be hungry! Tomorrow, he would bring people to check the river first and eliminate the dangerous animals. That delicious big crab had caused them to lose one of their clansmen. From then on, the clansmen would consciously stay away from the river by a mile. Now that there were no humans catching fish in the river, there should be a lot of fish. Every time Wu Xiaoming heard the sound of fish leaping, he would think of the deliciousness of the fish. There were too many dangerous animals in the river, and if he was not careful, he would be injured or even die.
Wu Xiaoming also clearly knew how Uncle Di and the others hunted. Every time they hunted, they would choose a single beast to attack, and the efficiency was low. After all, humans could not outrun the wild beasts. If there was only one success every ten times, then Mother God Nvwa's blessing would be enough!
Right, he could dig a trap. All this time, Wu Xiaoming had been misled by the size of the animals in this world. If he dug a trap, the workload would be too great. Now that Uncle Di and the others were injured, they could use the strength of the primitive people to dig a huge trap from the river to the cave. It could also prevent the wild beasts from invading. Thinking about it, he fell asleep.
The next day, Wu Xiaoming woke up at dawn. Looking at Chang'e, who was sleeping soundly with her mother, he couldn't help but laugh. Who said that the primitive people were ugly? The women and the girls were all delicate and beautiful. Their snow-white skin and exquisite faces were much better than the so-called beauties in his previous life. He had never seen them take care of themselves. Every day, they worked hard to harvest the plants, and they were not tanned at all. He originally wanted to tease Chang'e, but his mother was afraid of causing misunderstandings. Thinking about it, he decided to forget about it.
After saying goodbye to the warriors guarding the cave, Wu Xiaoming walked out of the cave and looked around the cave to check the terrain and plan the route for the trap. When Wu Xiaoming returned to the cave, everyone woke up. Chang'e looked at him with a dissatisfied expression, as if she was very disappointed that he did not tease her today.
Taking advantage of the time when the woman was preparing breakfast, Wu Xiaoming told Uncle Di what he had been thinking about last night. Uncle Di thought about it and agreed. After eating breakfast, everyone started to move.
Wu Xiaoming first created weapons with the villagers. Under his guidance, the women and children used hard beast bones to sharpen the spears. The fifty centimeters long beast bones were enough to penetrate the skin of wild beasts. The warriors took about one and a half meters of bamboo and five meters of bamboo, and then used beast skin ropes to install the sharpened spears on the bamboo. The primitive people only used an hour to make more than three hundred short spears and fifty long spears.
Wu Xiaoming planned to fill the pit with sharp bamboo. He also handed this task to Uncle Di and the others, and he led the women and children to dig the pit. In the primitive era, the animals were huge, so he planned to dig a pit about fifty meters wide from the river to the foot of the mountain. He dug from both sides, and the soil he dug out was used by Uncle Di and the others to build a wall at the river bank. This way, they could completely surround their home.
The strength of the primitive people was once again shown. Such a large project would take half a month to complete even with all kinds of machines in his previous life, but they only used four days to complete it.
The pit was built with chopped bamboo and covered with weeds. After the pit was covered with sharp bamboo, Wu Xiaoming patted two warriors to stand on the high wall and observe the animals suitable for hunting. When they reached the river bank, they had already finished checking. After catching four huge crabs that were no longer a threat, Wu Xiaoming began to think about how to fish. The best tool for fishing was a net, but it was impossible to go into the water in the primitive era. All kinds of unknown dangers came from the river, and Wu Xiaoming had seen a wild deer the size of a rhinoceros drinking water and being dragged into the water by an unknown fish. The blood dyed the river red.
Fishing had become Wu Xiaoming's only choice. The fishing hook was made of a hard animal tooth, and it was a meticulous job to polish the fishing hook. Wu Xiaoming spent an entire day to make a big fishing hook. The women and children were all learning by the side. In the next few days, the women and children were all making fishing hooks. Perhaps it was because of the digging of traps, but they didn't see any beast packs coming to drink in this section of the river.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. There had been no beast packs coming to drink. Fortunately, there would be a few Bamboo Rats falling into the traps every day. Ever since Wu Xiaoming used bamboo to attract the Bamboo Rats, there would be a large number of Bamboo Rats coming to their place every night. Wu Xiaoming would place a large amount of bamboo leaves and bamboo around a mile away from the cave every day. Once there was a trap, he would place it at the edge of the trap. So basically, they could catch a few Bamboo Rats every morning. In the most recent day, there were twelve of them.
Uncle Di and the others had recovered from their injuries. They had originally planned to go out and hunt, but Wu Xiaoming requested them to practice throwing javelins. He had tried throwing a javelin that was about 1.5 meters long, and he could throw it about two hundred meters. With Uncle Di and the others' strong bodies, Wu Xiaoming requested them to throw it at the target at least a hundred meters accurately. The melee weapon was a long spear that was more than five meters long, and he also asked the villagers to make a huge Stone Axe that weighed more than 100 kilograms. Each warrior was equipped with forty javelins, a long spear, and a Stone Axe. The weight was more than 300 kilograms, and this weight was something that the primitive people would not feel at all. If they were in his previous life, they would probably be crushed by this weight. The women and children did not go out to collect, but instead, they were weaving vines. No matter if they were useful or not, they would at least provide more protection and safety.
Early in the morning, Wu Xiaoming had informed his clansmen to gather and go fishing. Because they did not know if there would be any danger at the riverside, every warrior was fully armed, and the women and children also had heavy Stone Axes and spears.
"Everyone, watch carefully." Wu Xiaoming tied the thick beast skin rope to the huge fish hook and cut off a piece of bamboo rat meat with the Stone Blade, hanging it on the hook from afar and throwing it into the river.
"It's coming!" Chang'e cried out. Wu Xiaoming felt a strong force dragging him more than ten meters away. Uncle Di quickly ran over and grabbed the beast skin rope. Chang'e hugged Wu Xiaoming tightly from behind, her soft breasts rubbing against his back, causing him to be absent-minded.
"Quickly pull!" Water splashed in all directions. Wu Xiaoming came back to his senses and with the help of Uncle Di and Chang'e, he quickly pulled a huge tiger-headed fish to their side. The huge tiger's sharp teeth, tail, and snake tail were as long as the fish fins on both sides of its back, and its round and fat body kept jumping around. "It's so big! This fellow is at least five thousand kilograms, and it's more than fifteen meters long. Good fellow!" Wu Xiaoming and his clansmen were in shock. Uncle Di picked up the Stone Axe and jumped up high, cutting the tiger-headed fish's head into pieces. The tiger-headed fish jumped a few times before it laid motionless in a pool of blood.
"It's so fun! Watch me." Chang'e quickly took out a fish hook and hung a large piece of bamboo rat meat on it, throwing it into the river. Before the fish hook even entered the water, a huge tiger-headed fish jumped up high and splashed the fish hook with paint. Chang'e was caught off guard and was pulled to the riverside, almost falling into the water. Wu Xiaoming quickly rushed over and hugged Chang'e from behind like her. His hands touched a soft object, and before he had time to think, he tried his best to pull the tiger-headed fish to the shore with the help of Uncle Di and the two warriors. Chang'e looked at Wu Xiaoming shyly. In heaven and earth, he really did not do it on purpose. However, looking at Chang'e, he felt that she was quite good! Wu Xiaoming looked at Chang'e embarrassedly. There was no way to explain this matter. The more he explained, the worse it got. It was better to not say anything.
"Everyone, be careful. Don't be as reckless as Chang'e." Uncle Di looked at Chang'e, who was already being lectured by her mother.
This tiger-headed fish was about twice as big as the one Wu Xiaoming had caught. "Alright, everyone split into groups and fish. Seven people in a group, be careful."
Not far away, the river was rolling, and a large group of tiger-headed fish were jumping out of the water. Their huge bodies created huge waves. "Don't tell me that there are only tiger-headed fish in the river!" Wu Xiaoming thought when he saw that his clansmen had never caught any other fish.
After four hours, Wu Xiaoming and his clansmen had caught another type of fish after four hours. It was a shark-like fish that was as big as a tiger-headed fish. At this moment, there were more than two hundred tiger-headed fish lying on the river bank. Their huge bodies were covered in white.
After another hour, the river suddenly splashed. Not a single hook was hooked. A huge black shadow quickly rushed to this place. Wu Xiaoming immediately got his clansmen to pull the hook up. "Good fellow, look at the size of this black shadow. It's as big as a hill." He was completely speechless. How deep was the river to accommodate such a big fellow?
Uncle Di and the others also saw it and immediately organized their clansmen to retreat two hundred meters away from the river bank. They stared at the river with their eyes. They held their spears tightly in their left hands and javelins in their right hands, ready to throw them at any time, afraid that this huge unknown creature would rush to the river bank and cause a threat to their clansmen.
Wu Xiaoming looked at the black shadow in the river and felt as if someone was staring at him!
