Chapter 8: Bolas
The hunting team set off again early in the morning. The difference was that the fruit gathering team also joined today, but only half of them came.
This half was responsible for collecting vines, and the other half was still responsible for collecting fruits.
Thanks to Chen Chao's new vine basket yesterday, they only needed half of the team to do the same amount of work.
After arriving in the woods, the members of the hunting team discovered that each stone slab had killed one rabbit. They once again showed stunned expressions. (⊙_⊙)
Then the cheering and jumping quickly followed.
They all gathered and threw Chen Chao up into the air ten times consecutively.
However, although they caught quite many rabbits, the food for the whole tribe was still not enough for the winter. After helping women gather vines on the spot, they continued to move deeper into the woods.
The women made up vine baskets on the spot, and then took out the rabbits from the trap one by one. After being trapped under the stone slab for a day and night, some of the rabbits were already exhausted and famished. The unlucky ones were killed instantly when the traps were activated.
Before Chen Chao left, he especially asked the women to collect more long grass today. Although the women didn’t know what he was going to do, Chen Chao had brought them a lot of food in the last two days. Moreover, he also taught them how to create tools and the holy flame, so they simply followed the instruction.
In fact, now as long as Chen Chao’s instruction was not dangerous, they would all follow without any hesitation.
The leader Yuan walked in the front, Chen Chao was in charge of the back. There were only ten real young men in the hunting team, and the rest were eight boys. From this number, it made Chen Chao wonder if those eight boys were the kids of those ten young men. He was also curious about how they would be able to know who were their sons and who were their fathers.
The young and strong people spread out on both sides, enclosing the boys in the middle, in case there might be a beast attack.
While the group of people marched, Chen Chao was holding some vines in his hands, and from time to time picking and choosing from the ground, making the men standing on both sides of him very curious.
On Chen Chao's left was a short and honest man, called Da Zhuang, with incredible strength. Last time, he killed a wild boar with a stone.
On the right side was a tall and thin young man who was very good at throwing a stick. Chen Chao once saw him pierce the hind legs of a wild boar with a stick. The young man’s name was also easy to remember, with a single word Yi.
The two walking before them were both physically disabled, one missing two fingers, and one half blind.
The one who lacked two fingers was called Li Nong. His fingers were frozen when he came out to look for food in the winter. At that time, Wu said that he could not be saved, but after he just cut off two of his fingers with a stone knife and endured a winter, he slowly got better after the spring.
When Chen Chao knew about this, he sighed in his heart, "He is really a fearless man!’
The one who was blind in one eye was called One Eye. He was a wild man who joined later. He never told his name to anyone in the tribe. People in the tribe called him One Eye.

Of the remaining four young men, two were wild men who joined the tribe earlier than One Eye, and the other two were the people the Tianyuan tribe exchanged with other tribes.

The simple and honest Da Zhuang was curious about what Chen Chao was doing. He gestured and asked him.
Although Yi was also very curious, he felt that what Chen Chao was doing was wasting energy. After all, why carry two heavy stones along the way? If Chen Chao wanted a weapon, he should carry a stick instead.
Chen Chao fixed two rocks on the two ends of the vine. After waving it, he was satisfied with the weight. When he met the prey, he could entangle the limbs of the prey by throwing it at a low angle. Even if he threw it directly at the prey, it would cause serious damage.
This was a very good long range weapon that came with a function to lock the prey.
However, Yi still felt that Chen Chao was wasting his energy.
But the simple and honest Da Zhuang could tell that this was a good weapon at a glance. He was a stone-throwing expert, so he gestured excitedly and asked, what it was.
"Bolas." Chen Chao said.
"Bolas," Da Zhuang repeatedly excitedly.
Seeing Chen Chao nodded approvingly, Da Zhuang gestured more excitedly, pointing at Chen Chao, then pointing at the Bolas, and finally pointing at himself. He wanted to have a look at it closely.
"Okay." After Chen Chao finished speaking, he handed the Bolas to Da Zhuang, with two vines left on his shoulders, he could still make two more Bolas.
When weaving vine baskets yesterday he discovered that this vine was very tough and malleable, and it would not be easy to break. Especially now that it was autumn, the vines were already half-dry and were most suitable for weaving things.
However, using it to make Bolas was still not an ideal solution. It would not be as durable as ropes.
Da Zhuang took the Bolas, turned it back and forth to observe it over and over again. He liked it a lot. He grabbed the vine in the middle and held it high above his head, then swung the Bolas violently with one hand.
After a while, he figured out another attack method. He grabbed the other end of the Bolas, threw only one stone, and then quickly pulled it back.
'Not bad, he could actually figure out a new method.' Chen Chao muttered in his heart.
The hunting team members looked back from time to time. Those who were good at throwing stones have already figured out the benefits of this thing.
So~~~
Along the way, they looked at Chen Chao eagerly. A few smart ones had already picked up several suitable stones from the ground and gave them to Chen Chao.
The hunting team didn’t walk too far. Soon, they arrived at the place where the wild boar was hunted last time. This time there were no wild boars.
Chen Chao laughed. It was time to take out his cheat.
The surrounding scenery changed quickly before his eyes. There were wild boars with their cubs looking for food outside. Their long fangs were inserted into the soil to find something.
There was also an animal that looked like a cat or a leopard, weighing about ten kilograms. Chen Chao guessed that it was an early lynx.
Well, what is this animal? Why is it squatting there? Is it incubating eggs?
What Chen Chao saw was this big yellow-black bird? It had a long neck like an ostrich...
Chen Chao issued a search command in his mind, and after a while, a piece of information appeared in his eyes.
[Giant Moa.
Height: 3-4 m..
Birds with no wings, relying on strong legs for movement.]
Without wings? Rely on legs? Wouldn’t this type of animal be best for his new hunting tool?
‘Okay, it is you then!’
