Hua Xi invited Hua Feng and an elder named Kunda to discuss the matter.
Huafeng volunteered: "Chief, when I attacked the Keni tribe last time, I conducted a careful survey around here and am familiar with the road conditions here. I will go and see where there are suitable woods and sandy lands for logging sites."
and gravel pits”
"Well, okay!" Hua Xi nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Huafeng came back on horseback to report what he had learned: "To the east of the site of Sunset Fort, that is, through the forest when I came here, there is a relatively open and gentle open space, which can be used to build a logging farm near the sea.
On that big mountain, one kilometer to the northeast from here, there is a lot of sand and gravel, and clay can be collected, and a sand and gravel field can be built there."
After listening to this, Kunda suggested: "Clan Chief, we are very short of manpower now. Just build a small lumberyard and gravel pit first. Only if the transportation is properly coordinated, the small lumberyard and gravel pit can store enough for us."
The speed of construction is used”
Hua Feng agreed. Hua Xi thought about it and it was true, so he agreed with Kunda.
After Hua Xi made up his mind, he asked Kunda to select 200 tribesmen and take the carpenters and fellers to build a lumber camp in the forest two miles east of the site of Sunset Castle. Huafeng also selected 200 tribesmen and rushed to the northeast.
Due to the special location of the sand and gravel field being built at the foot of the mountain one mile away, the area where the logging field is located has great safety risks and is easily attacked by outsiders or wild beasts. Hua Xi went to check the surrounding areas in person.
environment
Hua Xi and Kunda brought hundreds of tribesmen who came to work happily and arrived at the forest clearing two miles to the east. The clearing was quite large, the size of a basketball court, and it was enough to build a medium-sized logging field.
What is worrying is the dense bushes around the clearing. No one can tell when a group of ferocious carnivores or hostile primitive people will emerge.
Worry is worry, what should be done or what should be done. Because there are enough manpower and the tribe's enthusiasm for work is high, the small lumber camp was set up in just one day.
According to Hua Xi's instructions, two hundred people under the command of Kunda began to cut down trees around the lumberyard. Not long after the work of cutting down trees began, several tribesmen who entered the woods to cut down ran out in panic, and kept panicking.
He shouted: "Wild beasts, such big beasts are dangerous, dangerous..."
Elder Kunda quickly gathered the tribesmen who had just dispersed, and stabilized those few people to prevent them from running around and causing panic.
Hua Xi wondered: "What kind of beast? I didn't see it!"
The shocked clansman finally managed to catch his breath for a while before replying: "Chief, there is a huge beast inside that is all yellow and black!"
The whole body is yellow and black? Hua Xi now has a rough guess. It is estimated that most of the beasts mentioned by the tribe are tigers. If it is really a tiger, then the small forest he is entrenched in seems a bit tricky. If you think about it carefully, Hua Xi
He hurriedly called the accompanying soldiers to bring bows, arrows, spears and other weapons, and went into the woods together to see if it was a tiger, and then kill the beast.
After entering the woods, Hua Xi looked carefully at the good guy in the direction pointed by the tribe. On a moss-covered rock, there was a mountain king lying on his back. Looking at his bulging belly, it seemed that he had just eaten.
, is lying on the rock and resting at the moment
Hua Xi quickly estimated the fighting power of both the enemy and ourselves. There were more than a hundred people on his side who had entered the woods. With strong bows, crossbows and spears, it was not a big problem to kill a tiger, but the biggest fear was that it would escape, which would be terrible.
There will be endless troubles
There is a saying, if you let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.
Generally speaking, I still have an absolute advantage here, but I am afraid that these tribesmen will be frightened by the tiger and all run away. Then I will be left with a bald commander who can't run very fast.
It's been a lifetime of bad luck.
Worried, Hua Xi tightened the knife in his hand, and bravely led more than a hundred tribesmen who had already set their bows and arrows and held spears in their hands to form a tight fan-shaped attack formation towards the lying tiger.
With the slow passage of time and the constant movement of footsteps, Hua Xi and others were less than 40 meters away from the tiger's location. However, the tiger remained motionless with its belly spread out on the rock and its eyes closed, basking in the sun. It felt so comfortable.
"The archer is ready to shoot, and the spearman is covering. As soon as the monster comes close, throw the spear immediately! This huge beast in front of you is one of the demons that the gods want to kill! You must be a hundred times more determined to kill this beast!" Hua
While Xi gave the order in a low voice, he also did not forget to play the role of a magic stick. This was also a helpless move. If the tiger was injured, the counterattack would be a hundred times more ferocious than before the injury, ensuring that the tribesmen would not be attacked by the tiger.
Frightened by the power, he fled
Upon hearing that the huge beast in front of them was actually one of the demons that the gods wanted to kill, the tribesmen were gearing up to kill this monster in one fell swoop, maybe they could get more rewards and the blessings of the gods.
In an instant, the morale of the tribesmen who were hunting the tiger was greatly boosted. The panic that had been infected by the panicked tribesmen was swept away. Instead, they wanted to kill the beast before others.
"Shoot!" Hua Xi shouted in a low voice, swinging the sword in his hand down in the air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A series of sharp arrows were ejected by the huge rebound force of the bow string.
Ouch! The tiger woke up suddenly, followed by huge pain all over the body in an instant, and then violently rushed into its central nervous system. Dozens of arrows passed through the barrier of trees and plunged into the tiger's body.
Stop shivering, blood kept pouring out from the arrow, and the large moss-covered rock was instantly stained red with blood.
The huge roar of the tiger instantly frightened the Chinese tribesmen who were about to load their bows and arrows for the second round of shooting. Many timid tribesmen had already begun to plan to escape.
Seeing this, Hua Xi suddenly drew his knife and caught up with a fleeing tribesman, slashing him with his knife.
"Ah!" The tribesman who was stabbed screamed and fell to the ground dead.
For Hua Xi, who has experienced several bloody battles, killing is no longer so repressive and scary. After two years of experience as a clan leader, Hua Xi has some understanding of the behavior of later emperors who will build their merits on millions of bones.
Hua Xi showed no mercy to these slaves who ran away when scared by tigers. If they were allowed to escape, it would end up costing their own lives. People are always selfish.
After cutting down the escaping slave, Hua Xi shouted loudly: "If there are any more people who run away from the battle, the god in charge of fire will rain down endless flames to punish them! On the contrary, if this person can be killed, this leader of the clan will definitely judge him.
Reward for meritorious deeds!”
Under coercion and inducement, the originally panicked tribesmen grabbed their weapons again and aimed at the tiger in a desperate move.
The tiger, whose body had been pierced by dozens of sharp arrows, had long lost its former flexibility and lost a lot of blood. Although it was extremely angry at the group of despicable people who attacked it dozens of meters away, it kept roaring and wanted to kill it.
The physical injuries of these shameless humans seriously affected his movements. The stacked roads with rocks and trees in the forest were originally good helpers for him to hunt and ambush prey, but now they have become a huge hindrance to him.
A few dozen meters is so far away in its eyes, but in the eyes of Hua Xi and others, it is the best obstacle to the tiger's progress! The tiger endured the huge pain and pounced on Hua Xi and others like crazy.
Unfortunately, when the tiger was still more than 20 meters away from Hua Xi and others, a dense rain of arrows and spears shot out from the Chinese encirclement.
The tiger's huge bright yellow body suddenly became the biggest and best target. This round of shooting was countless times more accurate than the first round. After a mournful cry, the tiger was densely pierced by sharp arrows and spears and fell to the ground like a hornet's nest.
It is obvious from not moving that the tiger has turned into a dead tiger, and it is in a situation where it can no longer die.
"Chief, what is the name of this beast? It is actually listed as a target of death by the gods?" Kunda asked in a trembling voice, still frightened.
"This beast is called a tiger! Their ancestors were gods a long time ago, but they were demoted to the mortal world because they violated the laws of heaven and became beasts that harmed the people!"
"Oh, no wonder it's so fierce!" After listening to Hua Xi's explanation, everyone looked like this.
"Okay! Kill this tease. You all have made a great contribution and can get a reward of 30 copper coins!" Hua Xi wisely gave them the rewards they deserve to boost their morale.
"Ah, 30, 30 copper coins? Haha, great!" After hearing the reward they wanted to hear most, everyone cheered. 30 copper coins is the price of a sheep, which means that they have a good one in an instant.
