Chapter 50: Killing Wolves and Gaining Fame

The wolves' frightened night made "Liu Yuan" deeply realize how difficult it was for ancient humans to live with scarce supplies, and strengthened his determination to complete the system task. He was worried that he would be powerless when the wolves came again, so he had to make more preparations.

Liu Yuan asked the "leader" to lead a group of people to hunt and gather, and he selected a group of people to cut down more bamboo and wood, and made many sharp bamboo swords and bamboo arrows, as well as 5-meter-long wolf-tooth whisks (the main weapon configuration of the "Mandarin Duck Formation" made by Qi Jiguang during the anti-Japanese war), and made more than a dozen "bowstrings" with the fascia of yellow sheep and various leathers.

They dug a larger and deeper trap outside the cave entrance, covered the bottom and walls of the pit with bamboo tips, and placed a movable pedal at the pit entrance. After entering the cave, the load-bearing pedal can be removed, and there will be no abnormality on the surface. In this way, dozens of people spent a whole day to basically set up everything.

It was another sunset, with the sky filled with red clouds and night slowly falling, when the "leader" returned with more than a hundred of his men with a full load of pheasants, rabbits, and gazelles, mostly dead, but some alive as well, including two alive gazelles and countless wild fruits.

As usual, the living ones were kept in solitary confinement, and an attempt was made to breed and domesticate them. The dead ones were roasted just like last night.

"Liu Yuan" also arranged personnel to sort the wild fruits left over from yesterday. He tried to squeeze out some juice, mixed it with some cold boiled water, and drank it as a beverage without adding anything else. Perhaps it was because the fruits from ancient times were not polluted at all, the taste was surprisingly good.

After a tiring day of work, the cavemen ate delicious barbecue and drank delicious fruit juice comfortably. They were in a happy mood and felt overwhelmed. They also sincerely thanked "Liu Yuan" for the changes he made and for bringing them such a good life.

During the meal, "Liu Yuan" also demonstrated the coordination of bowstring and bamboo arrow, and the use of archery. The curious mountaintop residents quickly mastered the skill after a little practice. Two people with good archery skills were selected from each cave and awarded with bowstrings and twenty sharp bamboo arrows.

Wolf-tooth whisks and bamboo swords are also popular among everyone. Wolf-tooth whisks are distributed to those who are strong and powerful, and everyone can be given a bamboo sword for self-defense.

"Liu Yuan" took the people who had eaten and drunk their fill and tried to practice the coordinated attack and defense of the Mandarin Duck Formation for a while, and then returned to the "bridal chamber" tiredly to rest.

"Ao-", when the sound of wolves howling sounded again, "Liu Yuan" sat up with a start. The entrance of the cave was piled with stones as usual, and the "crunch, crunch" sound was heard again. The wolves were chewing on the leftover bones of barbecued animals.

Looking through a larger air hole, the scarred "alpha wolf" was still sitting in the same position as yesterday. He must be from yesterday's wolf pack.

"Liu Yuan" took out the newly made bowstring and arrow, aimed at the scarred "wolf leader"'s neck through the air hole, and shot it out with all his strength.

"Puchi", the bamboo arrow just pierced the neck of the scarred "wolf leader". With a shrill "Ah", the scarred "wolf leader" bared his teeth, showing a ferocious look, and then slowly fell down unwillingly.

The wolves were frightened, but did not retreat. They swarmed towards Liu Yuan's location. Liu Yuan quickly pulled out the pedal that supported the trap outside.

The sounds of "hudong, hudong" and "puff, puff" were heard one after another, and the wolves fell into the trap covered with sharp spikes one after another. The wolves that were pierced and wounded made shrill cries of pain, "aoer, aoer".

The few wolves that had not fallen into the trap were wandering around the edge of the pit, thinking about how to rescue their brothers and sisters. Bamboo arrows flew from different directions, killing and wounding the remaining wolves.

Seeing that the remaining injured but not dead wolves were no longer in great danger, "Liu Yuan" pushed away the stones blocking the cave, walked out of the cave with a bow and arrow, and killed all the remaining injured but not dead wolves.

The battle between humans and wolves ended successfully without any danger. After counting, there were actually 56 wolves.

From being at a loss and helpless last night to killing all the wolves tonight, the "Shantou Cave People" were excited. They took turns to lift "Liu Yuan" up, catch him, throw him up again, and catch him again. This was to express their respect and love, and "Liu Yuan" was almost dizzy, but in his heart he was as happy as they were.

From then on, "Liu Yuan" became more and more famous, and he became the second leader and backbone of the tribe. The tribe would come to him for advice on all matters, big or small. "Liu Yuan" also gradually mastered the language of the tribe, and no longer had the communication barriers he had when he first came here. He also learned that his name in the tribe was "Yuan" and the name of the leader's father was "Dao".

The wolf skin was peeled off and kept for the soldiers' leather armor, and the wolf meat was roasted as food for the next few days. They were also taught to try to catch animals alive that did not pose a threat to their health when hunting in the future, and bring them back to domesticate them, or to kill them and bring them back if that was not possible. With bowstrings and arrows, hunting would be extremely convenient in the future, and they would also be able to harvest more supplies to improve their lives.
