The rhino herd traveled across the mountains and ridges, and it took them two or three days to return to the Teng tribe.
In the past two or three days, the people of the Teng tribe felt very uneasy every time they saw the empty stone mountain.
Fortunately, this is winter, and apart from the cold, there is almost no danger.
"Rumble..."
After the divine vine returned to the vine tribe, it grew in size again, then wrapped around the stone mountain again, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Although Shendou is already very powerful, he can't get rid of his nature. When winter comes, he still likes to sleep.
Jiang Xuan took the large group of rhinos to the breeding area and asked Dajiao to pack up a few empty pens for them to live in.
When winter comes, the Vine tribe slaughters many livestock because most of the winter plants are covered by heavy snow. If there are too many livestock, they will not be able to feed them enough.
In addition, those livestock that have been raised will not gain much weight if they continue to be raised. They are meant to be slaughtered.
Because of this, a large number of pens are vacant in the breeding area, and these pens will not be refilled until tomorrow spring when the remaining livestock and poultry breed a large number of young.
Now, these empty enclosures are just the place for these rhinos to live.
The leader and Fuji Shen went out on a trip and brought back news of a large group of black wind rhinoceros. News spread quickly throughout the tribe, and everyone rushed to the breeding area to see it.
"Oh my God, is this the Black Wind Rhinoceros? So tall and big!"
"Yes, look at their horns, they are so sharp!"
"The hair on my body is so thick..."
The tribesmen were talking a lot around these black wind rhinos.
The Black Wind Rhinoceros were lying in a pen covered with hay, not panicking at all, nor attacking the people of the Vine Tribe, and even leisurely chewing the fodder fed to them by the breeding team.
Uncaria stood beside Jiang Xuan and asked curiously: "Chief, are these black wind rhinos also used for work?"
The Vine tribe has raised some bison cubs, which have been domesticated by the divine Vine. It is said that they can help the planting team work in the future and can also be used to transport things.
Seeing that the Black Wind Rhinoceros was so tall and strong, he thought it was also used for working.
"No, I'm going to use these black wind rhinos to form a heavy cavalry."
"Chief, what is 'heavy cavalry'?"
Uncaria had never heard of this word before, and Shi Loach and others around him also looked at Jiang Xuan, hoping that he could explain it to everyone.
"It's very simple. The elk and blue sheep we are riding now are relatively small in size and have not strong attack power, but they run very fast and are very flexible on the battlefield. I call them light cavalry."
"The black wind rhinoceros is huge and has extremely strong defense. Although it is not that flexible, once it launches a charge, it can directly break up the enemy's formation, and its lethality is terrifying, so it is called heavy cavalry."
After everyone listened, they had the concepts of "light cavalry" and "heavy cavalry" in their minds for the first time. Although they couldn't fully understand it for a while, they at least had a rough idea.
Shi Loach said: "In other words, our warriors can ride Black Wind Rhino to hunt and fight in the future?"
"Yes, at least some soldiers are like this." Jiang Xuan gave him an affirmative reply.
"That's great. These black wind rhinos are big and strong, can they carry a lot of prey? In the future, we don't have to worry about not being able to transport the big prey back."
Jiang Xuandao: "Not only can I help carry the prey, but with the Black Wind Rhino walking with you, ordinary beasts will not dare to attack you."
Every year, many warriors in the hunting team die from sneak attacks by ferocious beasts, and the powerful enough Black Wind Rhinoceros can deter those ferocious beasts that like to sneak attack.
After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, everyone was very envious of the Black Wind Rhinoceros and wished they could own one.
Jiang Xuan said again: "Don't be too happy too early."
"The Black Wind Rhino is indeed very powerful, and when formed into heavy cavalry, it is indeed very powerful, but when they charge, they are often deeply surrounded by the enemy, which is very dangerous."
"Therefore, only the most powerful warriors in the tribe are qualified to ride the Black Wind Rhinoceros."
Jiang Xuan's words were like a basin of cold water, calming down the excited warriors.
As Jiang Xuan said, becoming a heavy cavalry requires paying a price. If you are not strong enough, you may die on the way to charge.
Uncaria asked: "Chief, how should these black wind rhinos be divided?"
Jiang Xuandao: "There are thirty adult black wind rhinoceroses. For the time being, we are divided into the first hunting team and the second hunting team, each team is divided into fifteen."
"The six cubs will be raised by the breeding team for the time being."
"In the future, if the number of black wind rhinos increases and the tribe becomes stronger, I will consider setting up a special heavy cavalry to fight for the tribe."
The reason why the Black Wind Rhino is assigned to two hunting teams is because they go out hunting for a long time and are very dangerous.
As for the fishing team and the guard team, they basically never leave the tribe and have no need for the Black Wind Rhinoceros.
Everyone has no opinion on Jiang Xuan's decision.
In this way, Uncaria and Stone Loach happily divided up the thirty rhinos, and then sent the most powerful warriors in the team to take care of these black wind rhinos and get familiar with their temperaments.
When Jiang Xuan walked back, he unexpectedly discovered that a baby rhinoceros was following him.
This little rhinoceros has a tuft of white hair on its head, which is like a crescent moon and curved. It is different from other rhinos.
"I remember you, little one."
When Fujigami had just tamed these rhinos, the little rhinoceros ran up to Jiang Xuan and rubbed his head against him. He was very fond of Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan touched the little rhino's head, and the little rhinoceros closed its eyes comfortably, obviously enjoying it.
When Jiang Xuan was about to leave, it immediately followed him, as if he recognized Jiang Xuan.
Dajiao couldn't help but said: "Chief, if not, let him go back with you."
Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said: "Okay, I just need a mount that can run. Let this little rhinoceros follow me from now on."
Jiang Xuan touched the little rhino's head again and said, "Come with me, little guy."
Jiang Xuan walked towards his yard, and the little rhinoceros followed closely behind him, actually recognizing Jiang Xuan.

When they returned to the yard of the bamboo forest, Jiang Xuan piled some hay in the corner of the bamboo shed where Tangyuan lived and built a nest for the little rhinoceros.
"Tang Yuan, this little rhinoceros is temporarily staying with you. I will build a new shed for it when the ice melts. You are not allowed to bully it, do you understand?"
Tangyuan squatted in his nest, looked at the little rhino curiously, and then nodded.
Tangyuan is a raptor and is very large. The little rhinoceros was a little afraid of it, but after Jiang Xuan comforted it, it reluctantly lay down in its new nest.
Not long after, Dajiao personally sent some plant straws and fodder to Jiang Xuan for the little rhinoceros to eat.
"Chief, have you given this little rhinoceros a name?"
Jiang Xuan stared at the crescent-shaped white hair on the little rhino's forehead for a while and said, "Let's call it Crescent Moon."
Dajiao praised: "Crescent Moon, this name sounds nice."
From this day on, there was a raptor and a beast in Jiang Xuan's yard.
The raptor is called Tangyuan, and the beast is called Crescent Moon. They are both cute names.
……
This winter, the Teng tribe had enough food and clothing, and they also harvested a group of black wind rhinos, so they lived a very comfortable life.
But some tribes are not so comfortable.
For example, the Jackal tribe is having a very difficult time.
The Jackal Tribe and the Crow Tribe fought for more than half a year, leaving no time to collect enough food and supplies for the winter.
Later, although the Crow tribe was wiped out, winter also came, and they had no choice but to survive the winter.
After the heavy snow falls, hunting becomes very difficult, and it is not easy to dig out the edible plant roots underground.
No matter how hard the Jackal tribe saves food and suffers from hunger, when half of the winter is over, the food shortage crisis is already serious.
Jackal tribe, in a simple wooden house.
"Another one died."
The leader of the Jackal tribe opened the door and saw a frozen corpse.
This tribesman curled up in a ball and had been dead for a long time. When he was dying, his hands stretched forward, as if he wanted to grab something.
The leader of the wolf tribe looked very ugly. He knew that the reason why this tribe member died was due to lack of food, and the animal skin clothing on his body was not thick enough.
In the case of long-term hunger and cold, people with weak constitutions or who are already injured can easily die.
