Chapter 272 A lot of pressure
Soon, everyone arrived at the location of the accident.
I saw a herd of no less than fifty bison, standing on the edge of the wheat field and eating weeds. The cattle were all black and had thick fur. Their horns were relatively short, but their bodies were huge.
The body length is three meters, and the height is generally 1.7 or 1.8 meters. What is the concept? The concept is that many modern people are not as tall as a cow, and the average height of Wang Yang and others is 1.4 meters...
Ahem, I really don’t know how to compare. I’m shocked by the comparison. If Wang Yang stood in front of the cow, he would have to look up to the cow.
Needless to say, the strength of this herd of cattle is self-evident. Even if they don't use their short horns and just charge, no one can stop them.
If you can't stop them, the best way is not to disturb them.
Wang Yang withdrew his gaze, looked around, and saw the osteologist not far away. He was busy directing everyone to retreat and stay away from the buffalo herd.
Seeing Wang Yang and others arriving, they immediately ran over.
Wang Yang asked them why they chose to attack to drive away the bison, which seemed to be a bit of a reproach.
The osteologist drew a picture with a sad face and said that he did not intend to attack them, but they were approaching the wheat field step by step and attacked as a last resort.
Wang Yang was slightly startled, what's going on? How could these bisons be so messy?
He raised his head and glanced into the distance, only to see that there were not many wild grasses and plants behind the bison herd, and they were almost approaching the Gobi Desert.
He suddenly realized that it seemed that these bison wanted to defend their own living space.
This is true, as people continue to expand wheat fields, the area of the grasslands has receded and been replaced by wheat, which naturally compressed the living space of other species, causing contradictions.
Maybe it’s not that the living space of animals has been compressed. Before, they ate weeds, but now that the grass is gone, they eat... wheat!
Wang Yang suddenly realized that this was a very serious problem related to everyone's food source.
But it was obviously not the right time to think about this aspect. He asked the osteologist: "Didn't I say before that the bison herd launched an attack? Where are the cattle? Where are the people? Why are you still here?"
The osteologist replied: "It was cattle that attacked, but not a group of them, but the two injured ones. The two people rode alpacas to distract them."
"Huh~" Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that no fight broke out. Otherwise, with everyone's small body, they really wouldn't be enough to watch.
This is not to say that these fifty or so bison are invincible. In a real fight, Wang Yang and others have a greater chance of winning, but the losses must be heavy. I don't know how many people will die. Wang Yang doesn't want to die, even one person.
He glanced at the direction in which the two men had led the mad bison away, and silently thought that nothing would happen.
He has seen how fast an alpaca can run at full speed. Take that lazy idiot for example. When it gets crazy, it can run no less than sixty kilometers an hour.
Before, Wang Yang was still thinking about how these alpacas survived, but his speed was not slow at all.
As long as there are no major problems, you can stalemate with the bison for a while. After the bison chases for a while, it will automatically return to the herd.
Wang Yang looked at the group of bison, which were also grazing and looking at him.
Obviously, the bison herd did not want to give in, nor did they want to attack easily. They were quite cautious.
"Moo~" While eating grass, they were talking in cow language. I don't know what they were communicating, but looking at them pouting their hooves, they seemed to be planning to attack?
Probably not. There is actually no difference between a bison and a wild boar. Their IQs are not very good, and their analytical ability to evaluate the opponent's strength is very poor.
Even though they are tall and strong, they are not actually strong. To put it bluntly, they have well-developed limbs and simple minds.
To take the simplest example, bison herds are often attacked by a series of large animals such as lions, and those animals are not strong at all.
The simplest calculation is that Wang Yang and his group are required to kill more than a dozen lions. If not, they will kill one by one.
It would be very difficult for them to kill dozens of bison, which would really cost them their lives.
But the funny thing is that a dozen lions can often kill the buffalo and flee, leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled to be killed by the lions.
How strong are lions? Not very strong, just a little clever.
But the bison couldn't see through these little clever things. If they were bolder and crazier, and rushed towards the lions together, running for a long distance, the lions would definitely lose their horns.
So it can be seen that no matter whether the cow's name has a wild character added to it, its IQ and courage are inferior.
At this time, you can't be tough with them. No matter how awesome you are, you can't be as awesome as a cow.
"Protecting the wheat is the most important thing." Wang Yang immediately pulled out some weeds to reveal an open space, then took out flint, lit a fire, and put dry wood in to ignite it.
Let each person hold a torch and stand in front of the wheat field to intimidate the buffaloes.
Animals are afraid of fire. This is common sense. Wang Yang knows that, so he does this. But cows are color blind, which is also common sense.
They can only see red, and they go crazy when they see red. The color of fire is slightly red, I wonder if it will make them crazy.
Wang Yang did not dare to be careless and did not allow anyone to approach the bison herd, so he racked his brains to think of a way.
The bison herd cannot be underestimated, especially the bison herd of this era. They may be timid or may not have high IQ, but they also have the most basic judgment.
The looks and appearance of the humans are obviously not as scary as the big cats, and they have not hunted bison in large numbers. They have no psychological advantage over them. How to treat them is a question.
Several people took torches and quickly doused the fire with water to avoid causing a fire.
The driver said to Wang Yang, aren't we worried about having no animals to feed now? How about we raise cattle?
Wang Yang shook his head, this is not a question of raising cattle, this is a question of fundamental interests.
To open up a wheat field, you need to plant wheat. What is wheat used for? To feed yourself! The wheat field will definitely expand in the future.
Correspondingly, the area of grassland will be reduced. Perhaps this grassland can still supply bison herds now, but the number of bison herds will become larger and larger, and sooner or later the wheat will be destroyed.
Since conflicts will break out sooner or later, it is natural to resolve them before the bison herd has fully developed.
The most important thing is that cattle are difficult to tame, and it is even more difficult to catch a few cubs. The docile and well-behaved sheep are still Wang Yang's first choice.
The expellers asked, what are they going to do?
Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and looked to the northeast: "Isn't there a grassland there? We drove them there so as not to affect their reproduction or our sowing."
"How to drive them away?" the driver asked again.
Wang Yang said: "Let's go around to the southwest and try to threaten with fire."
Just do what he said. Wang Yang didn't say much. He asked the adults riding alpacas to try to drive them away. As for the other adults who didn't ride alpacas, they stood outside the wheat field to ensure that the bison herds would not
Escape to the wheat fields.
At the same time, he asked an adult to go back and tell the friends to climb onto the roof and not come down.
And he waved his hand and led everyone around to the south.
At least half of the bison immediately followed a few people with their eyes.
Being stared at by so many bison, Wang Yang couldn't help but raise the torch higher. He thought, how can he scare the bison? What did the lions do?
"Chichi! Chichi!"
While he was deep in thought, the little guy suddenly shouted something loudly into Wang Yang's ear. The sound was very harsh, and Wang Yang frowned. At this moment, the idiot also stopped and stopped moving forward.
"What's going on?" Wang Yang was confused and turned around to look. Suddenly, his eyes were dazzled by more than a dozen dazzling lights. He took a closer look.
Suddenly, he discovered that a dozen saber-toothed tigers were lying low and ambush not far away. Those flashing white lights were their exposed sharp teeth.
"Roar~" More than a dozen saber-toothed tigers roared and slowly stood up so that everyone could see them. The meaning was very clear, get out of here and don't disturb me from having a big meal.
Wang Yang was preoccupied and didn't have many ideas. Seeing that the saber-toothed tiger and the buffalo herd were far away, and there was a gap in the middle, he planned to pass through the middle and gently pinched the fool's back.
The idiot didn't move and said "Oh".
Naturally, the reason for not moving is because they dare not move. Alpacas are often attacked by big cats, and like the bison herds, they have serious psychological shadows.
Wang Yang suddenly remembered that there were more than a dozen saber-toothed tigers. If he and others passed among them, wouldn't it be possible for them to treat them as prey?
It had nothing to do with fighting a saber-toothed tiger, I was just worried about disturbing the buffalo herd and charging towards me.
So he decided to bypass the saber-toothed tiger.
He turned around and walked towards the saber-toothed tiger. A saber-toothed tiger seemed to have thought of the possibility of hunting everyone and took a step towards it.
Without saying a word, Wang Yang gently waved the torch in the direction of the saber-toothed tiger. The saber-toothed tiger was so frightened that he took four or five steps back and was tripped by a companion.
"Wow!" Wang Yang, not to be outdone, roared the same way and left with everyone in a swagger.
The saber-toothed tigers were a little dumbfounded and wanted to kill a dozen of Wang Yang's men, but seeing that they had torches in their hands, they gave up.
After walking a few steps, the little guy yelled "Chichi! Chichi!" again. Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and was about to curse when he saw more than a dozen hyenas.
Well, with a height of 1.4 meters, a length of 3 meters, and a visual estimate of weight of almost 800 kilograms, this hyena is rare.
His mind was confused as he wondered how big the hyenas were in his previous life, averaging 140 pounds and 1.5 meters in length.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. He looked at the dozen hyenas a few more times, and cold sweat gradually broke out, and he finally understood what was wrong.
These dozen hyenas have grown so big! They can compete with the size of lions!
These dozen giant hyenas look very similar to ordinary hyenas, with heads like dogs, but they are not canids. They are more closely related to big cats, which are also extinct animals.
There are also different opinions on the reasons for extinction. In fact, the main reason is the same: they did not adapt to the environment and were eliminated.
