Chapter 9: Slowly getting stronger

Of course, Chen Chao was definitely not foolish enough to rely on the combat power of these eighteen people - two of them were even injured, to fight a beast that could grow three or four meters high head-on.

He first gestured to the leader Yuan and said that there was a prey there, and then called Yi and Da Zhuang to form a four-people vanguard team.

Seeing the moa crouching on the ground hatching eggs through the gaps in the bushes. The leader Yuan was okay, but Yi and Da Zhuang stepped back in fright and waved their hands again and again.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious: ‘No, no, this bird is too big! Its beak can crack open our heads! And we can't outrun it!’

Yi has also been gesturing using two fingers, which meant that this thing lived in a pair. Since the mother was hatching eggs here, it meant that the father should be out hunting for food.

Chen Chao pointed to the new weapon in Da Zhuang's hand, and pointed to moa's feet and neck. He then made another tree-climbing motion, and then took the long wooden stick from Yi's hand. What he meant was that the people in the hunting team could be divided into two parts. Team one could climb to the tree first, and team two was responsible for attracting moa from below.

Once team two led the moa near team one, they could throw Bolas at the moa's feet.

However, team two should not have too many people, because although the moa would not run very fast, they were still faster than people, so team two also needed to keep some people on the tree. After the moa chased them over, those people could throw stones to attract the attention of the moa to protect the people on the ground.

Team one was responsible for the long-range attack. Some people in the team one could throw Bolas from the tree to attract the attention of the moa, or use Bolas to restrain the moa's neck so that it couldn’t attack with its beak.

The rest of the people in team one could throw sharp wooden sticks. If the moa's legs have been restrained by team two, they could simply kill it by constantly throwing stones and sticks at it.

Chen Chao explained and made gestures several times before Yuan, Yi, and Da Zhuang nodded their heads. Then he sighed with relief, "God damn it, with this language barrier, communication is really exhausting! How did language come about? How did it develop? I should go back and study it, and teach them a standard language..."

However, during this period, the three of them learned a few new words, "run, throw, bird, wooden stick."

Although Yi and Da Zhuang opposed Chen Chao's suggestion, after the leader Yuan strongly supported Chen Chao, it made them think about the changes that he brought to the tribe, then they thought of the plan over and over again, and eventually had a little bit of confidence.

Moreover, if a moa was so big, if it was brought back, it would be enough for the entire tribe to eat for three or four days.

So Yi and Da Zhuang clenched their teeth and decided to do it!

Besides, now they only needed to deal with one moa!

They collected some vines and stones on their way back. After returning, the leader explained to the rest of the team about the ins and outs of the matter. Although they had no idea in their hearts, they all chose to obey the leader's words and followed Yi and Da Zhuang to collect the vine and stones.

Chen Chao also mobilized the people in the team to pick up some longer and sharper wooden sticks and palm-sized stones.

The materials were not ready yet. Chen Chao could only use his remaining two vines to make Bolas. Under the curious eyes of the two boys who injured their legs yesterday, Chen Chao quickly finished making a Bolas.

At the sign of Chen Chao, they also picked up the vines and started to make Bolas following Chen Chao.

The two boys felt very guilty in their hearts and felt a little embarrassed. There were so many people yesterday, only two of them were frightened and fell to the ground.

But fortunately, it was just a bruise, it was just a little pain, and it didn't affect walking, so they all followed today.

On the one hand, they were unwilling to eat free food in the tribe, and on the other hand, they were unwilling to drag down the large army. Seeing that there was something they could help with, both of them  sat on the ground and began to learn to make Bolas.

Seeing that the rest of the team had already collected a lot of vines, wood and stones, Chen Chao checked the Bolas made by the two of them and swung them a bit. The stones did not fall out. He felt that there was no problem, so he gave the task of making Bolas to them.

And he himself picked up a wooden stick, picked out a sharper stone and used it to hit the top of the stick with a strong force. The top of the stick instantly cracked open. Then he selected some thinner parts from the vine, put the stone into the cracked area of the wooden stick, and then fixed it with vines.

After that a most primitive spear was born.

The moment Yi returned from collecting vines, he saw Chen Chao forcefully stabbed down a wooden stick. With a sound of "Puff," and the stick easily penetrated the roast rabbit meat they brought.

Yi was shocked. (๑ŐдŐ)b and then took a closer look and found that a sharp stone was tied to the top of the wooden stick.

He was an expert stick-thrower in the tribe. If he could have a few such sticks when hunting, wouldn't that save him a lot of effort?!

But Yi had a high self-esteem, he didn’t want to beg Chen Chao.

So in the end, he saw the leader Yuan get the new spear, One Eye get the new spear, the boys in the hunting teams also get the new spear, and Da Zhuang also get the new spear...

But Da Zhuang didn’t want it...

The simple and honest Da Zhuang only wanted Bolas.

Swinging the Bolas, Da Zhuang arrived next to Yi. They grew up together. So he knew Yi's temperament.

He chuckled, and kept pushing Yi with his shoulders, as if to say: ‘Why don't you ask Chen Chao to give you a new weapon? You are the best thrower in our tribe!’

Chen Chao saw that all the people in the tribe who were willing to take throwing spears took three or five new spears. Only Yi was still pretending to collect stones far away. So he kicked a spear with his foot, then reached out his hand to grab it. After that he threw it towards Yi.

"Woosh."

Pretending to be looking for stones on the ground, Yi didn’t notice any movement. When he looked up, he saw that a spear had been inserted in front of him, and the end was still trembling slightly.

He wanted to turn his face away, but he couldn’t move his eyes away from it. After he quickly glanced at the people around him, and found that everyone was busy doing something, and no one paid attention to him, he breathed a sigh of relief and then reached for the spear.

The next moment, there was a burst of booing laughter from the entire hunting team, and Chen Chao laughed along with them. 

In the laughter, he felt the long-lost happiness and warmth.
