Chapter 971: 970. The King of the Prairie (4/10)

Chapter 971: 970. King of the Prairie (410)

On the grassland, facing the rising sun, a group of black men with bows and arrows and short knives are marching.

The golden sunlight fell on them, and in the sound of their brisk footsteps, silhouettes were like silhouettes, meandering forward on the flat grassland.

Li Du was at the back of the team, and he asked Cheeks, "Where are we going now? It's not like everyone is wandering around, hunting what prey they encounter, right?"

Cheeks said: "You are right or wrong, we are wandering everywhere, but instead of waiting for the prey to come to our door, we are looking for the traces of the prey, looking for their habitat."

After walking for more than half an hour, they found a bush.

Seeing this, the hunters showed excited smiles again, gathered together to mutter and discuss for a while, separated four or five people from the team and slowly approached the bushes, while the others continued to move forward.

The Hadzais leave the tribe in groups, but they don't stay together all the time. They divide their troops along the way, trying to find as much food as possible.

There are often many birds living in the bushes on the grasslands, and these hunters go to hunt birds.

Cheeks handed Li Du a bow and two arrows, and they approached the bushes quietly together.

Li Du brought his own bow and crossbow, which were in the black hole space of the little flying insect, and it was inconvenient to take them out at this time, so he used the Hadzai bow for the time being.

He had seen it earlier in the morning. These bows were made by the Hadzais themselves, and the material was quite rough.

There is no bamboo in Africa, and the bow body is mostly made of polished wood. Some bow strings come from hemp rope, and some come from animal tendons.

Their arrows are also self-made, and they are divided into several types. Among them, the blunt ones are used for small animals such as birds and voles, which can injure them but are not fatal.

There are also some metal arrowheads exchanged from the Datuga people, which are specially used to shoot small animals such as gazelles, deer, and wild goats.

In addition, each of them carried a stone arrow coated with venom. This kind of arrow was all black and was used to attack large beasts.

The hunters carefully approached the bushes from all sides, but the wild birds inside were very alert, sensing the danger, they immediately flapped their wings and flew up.

The hunters opened their bows and shot arrows one after another, and as the arrows were shot, wild birds that had just taken off were constantly hit and fell.

After an attack, they began to harvest, wild birds were collected and placed in large bundles made of baboon skin, and arrow shafts were recovered and reentered into quiver.

There is another harvest, and people are happier.

Cheeks laughed, "Maybe we have to keep inviting guests to the hunt, you're bringing good luck."

Soon, the luck will run out.

Li Du and the others walked for more than ten minutes, and a herd of elephants appeared in their field of vision.

This is the first time he has seen wild elephants, and there are still hundreds of meters away, and these giant beasts have already brought him a huge visual impact.

Seeing wild elephants, the hunters retreat nervously.

This herd of elephants is very large, with more than ten elephants, two of which are mother elephants with calves, and the others are all adult elephants. They walk rampantly on the grassland without any scruples.

Seeing that the hunters were nervous, Li Du said, "There's no need to be afraid of elephants, right? This animal also has attack power?"

Cheeks said: "This is the most aggressive beast. Our tribe has been attacked by elephants. I don't know why. They rushed in and went crazy!"

Li Du's understanding of elephants is all based on TV programs. There is still a difference between TV and reality. Wild elephants are not very good-tempered. They attack all according to their preferences. If they are in a good mood, they even allow people to touch them. If they are in a bad mood ? Then wait to face the disaster of extinction.

Unfortunately, elephant herds are often in a bad mood when confronted by armed crowds.

When people spotted the herd of elephants, some elephants also spotted them and came with unkind faces.

Of course Li Du couldn't understand the expressions of elephants, nor could they see their expressions, but when wild beasts were angry, humans could detect the strangeness.

Cheeks was about to flee with his tribe. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone bend down, bend down and run as fast as possible. As long as we get out of their sight, we will be safe."

After speaking, he took the lead in making this movement, bent over and pouted his buttocks, and ran on the grass.

It's funny, but it's better than being trampled by wild elephants.

Si Xiao looked at the elephant in a daze. It was the first time they saw an animal of this size, and their three views were so shocked that they even forgot to run for a while.

Li Du went over and slapped each one of them, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you retreat quickly?"

After they ran a few steps, they suddenly heard the roar of a car engine.

The advancing elephant herd stopped, blinking their big ears and looking around.

Li Du and the others also stopped, and the group looked at it. Brother Lang pointed to the side and said, "There."

Two off-road vehicles appeared in their field of vision. The vehicles were more domineering than elephants, and they ran even more recklessly.

The flatness of the prairie is relative, and there are actually many gullies on the ground. It is very bumpy and dangerous for a car to gallop at such a speed.

The people in the car were aiming at the herd of elephants, but they had no scruples when passing by them. A hunter blocked their way in a daze, and the car directly hit it!

This time Li Du was too far away from the hunter, so he didn't have time to react. Fortunately, Ah Ao tried his best to escape and ran ahead. When he saw the car hit him, he jumped up and knocked the stupid hunter beside him away.

Just like that, the off-road vehicle ran over the land where the hunter was before and drove away!

Li Du was frightened and angry, he saw the people inside through the car window, and shouted: "Damn you..."

"Haha, a bunch of stupid Native niggers!" A loud laugh from inside the car interrupted him.

Another yell from the car behind: "Aha, kill that elephant, its tusks are mine!"

The two vehicles approached the herd of elephants, and then they slammed on the brakes and stopped. Someone jumped down holding a shotgun, aimed at the elephants and shot: "Bang! Bang!"

A female elephant wailed hoarsely, with flesh and blood splattered all over her body, "Moo Moo!"

The leading male elephant got angry. He flicked his trunk and rushed forward.

In an instant, Li Du understood why Cheeks and others were afraid of wild elephants: this kind of animal was not as docile and clumsy as it was on TV, they sprinted so fast!

Elephants run very fast, and they are huge, and the impact they cause when they charge is terrible.

Li Du has never seen a tank, but he thinks the power of a tank's charge is nothing more than this!

The people in the car also underestimated the wild elephant. They did not expect that the slow-moving elephant had such explosive power and could charge so fast.

The drivers of the two cars hurriedly turned the steering wheel and fled. The three people who got out of the car and fired the gun got into the car with dismal expressions, and their legs were probably weak.

An off-road vehicle turned and accelerated away, and another vehicle also turned a corner, but unfortunately, one front wheel of the car fell into a pothole in the grass!
