Everyone started to collect the blood of the ferocious beast. This place was very close to the tribe, so Li directly asked two team members to send the ferocious beast back to the tribe, while the others continued to track the jumping yellow sheep.
"Bei will take Rong to collect the shielding grass later, and the others will continue tracking." Li said.
Masking grass, or invisibility grass, can be carried on the body to cover up smells. It is an equipment that every hunting member must check before going out. It is also the guarantee that the tribe can survive surrounded by ferocious beasts over the years. Masking grass is hung in the living areas of the tribe.
Regardless of whether they are wild beasts or fierce beasts, their most important organ is not the eyes, but the nose. They usually rely on their noses to search for prey, track prey, or search for companions, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the shelter grass is a magical grass.
There were a lot of sheltering grasses around the tribe. Mu Bei led Rong to a basin. Mu Bei stopped and saw a very strange tree in front of him. It was bare without any leaves, but full of fruits. The bright red fruits were the size of an adult's fist. The tree was not too tall, about 20 to 30 meters. Mu Bei gestured and said that one person could hug it.
"Second brother, you don't want to taste it, do you? There is no record of this fruit tribe, so don't mess around." Rong said hurriedly.
Mu Bei was still wandering around the tree. Those who didn't know him would think he was an expert on plants. Just as Mu Bei was about to climb up and pick a few to study, Li discovered him and stopped him.
"Bei, don't mess around. This thing is not edible. There was a big fool in the tribe who ate it before. He had diarrhea for more than ten days and it took him more than ten days to get better. He was exhausted." Li said seriously.
"It's just diarrhea, are there any other effects?" Mu Bei asked puzzledly.
"I'm not sure about the other effects. Let's ask your eldest brother later. He is the big fool. The first time he went out hunting after becoming a totem warrior, he was curious about everything. He climbed up and picked one and ate it when I wasn't paying attention. Now I suspect he learned it from you." Li laughed.
"How come you learned all the bad things from me?" Mu Bei cried out in injustice
"Your elder brother used to be so honest, but now he has become so smooth-talking. He doesn't learn his lesson every day and only causes trouble for me." Li said seriously.
"Father, my eldest brother is afraid of getting beaten. If you beat him a few more times, he will be obedient." Rong said with a sly smile on his face.
"My younger sister encouraged father to beat me behind my back, even though I'm so nice to you." Zhan's voice sounded from behind them.
Rong stuck out his tongue and argued, "If you behave yourself after being beaten a few times, you won't be beaten again in the future. Otherwise, if you are not honest, you will be beaten frequently. Would you rather be beaten several times in a row or be beaten frequently? What I said just now was for your own good, and you don't even thank me and blame me."
Zhan thought about it and felt something was wrong. Mu Bei saw Rong winking at him and immediately changed the subject: "Brother, have you eaten this before? Do you have any other symptoms besides diarrhea?"
Mu Bei just observed the tree and found that it was at least several thousand years old. A tree that was several thousand years old and still bearing fruit should not be an ordinary thing.
"Apart from the diarrhea, I didn't feel anything else. Not only did my strength not increase, but I also lost 100 to 200 pounds because I haven't exercised for more than ten days." Zhan said with a grim expression.
"Do you feel anything else after the power dropped?" Mu Bei said with his eyes lighting up.
"My strength dropped, and I wasted several days training to get it back." Zhan said.
Mu Bei asked doubtfully, "Besides exhaustion, do you have any other symptoms?"
"I didn't pay much attention to the rest. By the way, is the dust on my body considered another symptom?" Zhan said in confusion. Mu Bei was completely speechless: "Father, you should beat him up. Brother, it's up to you."
"Why is it that my eldest brother is like my father, and you let my father beat him up?" Rong asked in confusion. Mu Bei did not answer.
He looked at his father and said, "This fruit may be of great use to the tribe."
Then he walked up to his father and whispered in his ear for a while. His father asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"We can't be sure for now, but we can test it as soon as possible. If it's true, the strength of our tribe will be greatly increased." Mu Bei said seriously.
The father quickly called a few people over, asked them to climb up the tree, pack all the fruits, and had them sent back carefully.
Mu Bei suspected that this fruit could be used. A tree that has been around for thousands of years can still bear fruit, so it is not a normal tree. Moreover, this tree is very strange. There is no bark at all. The entire trunk is as smooth as if it was polished with sandpaper. Although it is about to enter a severe cold, it is impossible that there is not even a leaf on the tree, not even on the ground. There is not even a blade of grass around the tree, and the sheltering grass grows several meters away.
Another point is that when the eldest brother ate it, it was obviously cleansing the meridians and marrow, expelling the dirt, but he was too careless and didn't think that it was caused by eating the fruit. If it was someone else, the tribe might have discovered it long ago. If it was really the marrow cleansing fruit, the tribe would have become rich.
The shelter grass was quickly collected. The hunt continued. Mu Bei and Rong continued to search eastward. "Second Brother's hunting team has issued a call to assemble." Mu Bei gestured and said, "Let's go." The two approached the place where the call to assemble was made.
The call to assemble is a call, and the emergency call is a rapid call. The call just now was a call to assemble, which proves that the beast discovered was not a vicious beast, but most likely a group of wild beasts. According to records, there are herds of white cattle around the tribe.
The two soon arrived at the team's gathering place. Li began to use sign language to tell everyone that this was a large herd of cattle, with an estimated number of nearly 200. Li gestured on the ground and pointed at Mu Bei, meaning to dig a trap like the one Mu Bei dug last time.
Everyone understood what the father said with a few gestures, meaning that if the tribe had these cattle, they would not lack food in the winter.
After saying that, he separated his hands and everyone started to sneak around. Mu Bei led Rong to find a place to dig a trap. Last time, the leader had a meeting to let the hunting team learn the traps dug by Mu Bei. Mu Bei personally demonstrated and explained the principle. Mu Bei and Rong were still digging traps when they heard the sound of birds chirping, which meant that someone had completed the trap and reported to the commando team that the trap in that direction was already in place. Mu Bei signaled Rong, and Rong also started chirping.
Soon everyone finished setting up the trap, and a call came from the direction of the commando team, "Little sister, pay attention."
Soon, the sound of wild beasts galloping was heard in front, but the two waited for a long time but didn't see a single beast.
Rong glanced at Mu Bei and said, "Brother, we have worked for nothing." Mu Bei rubbed Rong's head and said, "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Although we didn't hunt them, isn't it the same if they did? If we are not prepared and the herd of cattle comes, we can only watch the cattle leave."
"Brother, I understand. No matter whether we can hunt or not, we must be fully prepared."
"Let's go and meet up." This time, more than 150 white cows were left behind. Mu Bei looked at the white cows on the ground and thought about how they looked. If it were in his previous life, many people would probably treat the white cows as sacred objects or send them to the zoo.
Today's hunting was basically over. Mu Bei walked up to the captain and asked, "Didn't father say he was going to get salt? Aren't we going to get it today?"
"The salt is not in our direction. Someone is responsible. Pack up your things and prepare to go back."
