Therefore, it can only be used to make traps for small to medium-sized wild animals, and only those with a poor sense of smell, otherwise they would smell the scent from afar and would not be able to get close.
"A trap?" Jiang Luoluo asked curiously.
Chi smiled and said, "There are only so many people in the tribe. How can they fight wild beasts all the time? If possible, it's better to set up more traps in advance so that the wild beasts are powerless to resist."
Jiang Luoluo didn't say anything, but scratched her head guiltily. She had always thought that people in the tribe with such honest and straightforward personalities would rush straight at wild beasts.
Chi laughed heartily, finding Jiang Luoluo quite interesting, and thus began to talk to her about more topics.
"Luo, you know that many plants are poisonous, right?"
Jiang Luoluo nodded.
"Do you know why poison is rarely used in tribes?"
Jiang Luoluo blinked and guessed, "Because poison is difficult to collect and store? And using poison could easily harm oneself?"
Chi shook his head and said with a meaningful look.
"Because we still need to eat."
Jiang Luoluo was struck dumb... She really hadn't expected this reason!
Chi burst into even louder laughter, "Hahahaha, I knew you wouldn't expect that!"
The smarter a person is, the more likely they are to overlook these "ordinary" reasons.
However, the tribe does not completely avoid using poison. Some poisons have a fast-dissipating effect and are used to restrict the movement of certain wild animals.
If a method works, there's no method that the tribe doesn't use.
……
More than half a month later, Jiang Luoluo met the mining team members who came to deliver stones for the second time.
Compared to the first time, which happened in the middle of the night, when Jiang Luoluo was woken up by the noise, the mining team members had already put down the mountain of stones, returned to human form, and replenished their food on the spot.
This time, Jiang Luoluo clearly saw how the mining team members carried back the huge ore they had collected.
A giant red wolf, over twenty meters tall, its fur burning like fire, darted nimbly through the forest.
On its back was a huge stone that looked several times larger than its own size.
It moved swiftly through the forest, as if carrying a small mountain on its back.
Every now and then, there would be a loud thud as trees fell and crashed to the ground.
Jiang Luoluo just stared blankly, almost forgetting to react.
When the giant red wolf rushed out of the forest and into the open space of the rubble pit, it suddenly leaped into the air, its entire body soaring into the sky, carrying the boulder behind it and flying more than ten meters into the air.
Then the red giant wolf suddenly disappeared, leaving only a small, dark shadowy dot visible in the distance, rapidly retreating from beneath the boulder.
After a brief moment of suspended motion, the massive rock fell toward the ground.
With a loud bang, it crashed to the ground, cracking along its edges.
This is the method used by mining teams to transport ore.
After each mining team finishes transporting ore, they need to rest and recuperate, and most importantly, they need to eat food to replenish their energy.
There were many people at the quarry, and the tribesman from the mining team approached.
When the others came over, Jiang Luoluo realized that there was another mining team behind them—two people in a group, not transporting alone.
As for the reasons, one is that the tribesman carrying the ore has difficulty moving around and would have difficulty reacting to any wild animal attacks on the road. It would be safer to have a tribesman help with defense.
Another point is that the plants in the Taz Forest grow lushly, and although the beasts are enormous, the low-lying vines do not pose a threat.
But those trees were different.
Therefore, when encountering narrow and inconvenient places to pass through, a member of the tribe is needed to help break down the trees blocking the way.
The sounds of trees falling that Jiang Luoluo had just heard were made by another member of her clan.
Two tribesmen walked over one after the other. The one in front was responsible for transporting the ore. After throwing down the ore, he was completely empty-handed, with nothing on him.
The tribesman behind him, however, had a half-human-sized animal hide backpack on his back, a weapon at his waist, and a large axe in his hand.
Some acquaintances from the tribe came up to greet them, "Hei and Chang, are you two bringing it back today? It's a huge piece."
Feeling light all over, Hei hurriedly waved his hand, "Stop talking about that, where is your fire source? I'm starving to death."
This has always been the case. After transporting the ore back, those who still have the strength will take advantage of their remaining energy and run back to the mining area to eat.
If you're exhausted, just light a fire on the spot in the quarry, grab something to eat, and replenish your energy.
The man carrying the load had a large animal-hide backpack filled with food. Although it wasn't enough to fill Black's stomach, it was enough to meet any unforeseen needs and ensure Black's mobility in critical situations.
The tribespeople's bestiality is entirely supported by the energy from the food in their stomachs. As long as they are full, they can work for days and nights without feeling tired.
The owners who were conducting gunpowder experiments at the quarry didn't hold back either, taking Hei and Chang to the largest wooden hut and letting them use the fire inside to cook.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Jiang Luoluo greeted the other tribespeople and followed them into the wooden house.
Jiang Luoluo hadn't seen Hei and Chang much before, and wasn't familiar with them.
However, as soon as Jiang Luoluo arrived, they all recognized her and greeted her warmly.
"Luo, do you want to eat something with us? We hunted a stag on the road. It tastes really good. You probably haven't tried it before."
Hei, just like her name suggests, is a female member of her tribe with very dark skin and exaggeratedly large muscles, clearly possessing immense strength.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have put her in charge of moving the ore.
It was about the same size as the other one, but a little taller than the black one, and its skin was much fairer. It was currently taking food out of the container.
He paused for a moment, seemingly having pulled something out, before casually tossing it to Jiang Luoluo.
Jiang Luoluo caught it with lightning speed, and when she looked down, she found it was a green fruit.
"I picked it on the way. It's a bit sour, but it's quite delicious. Luo, you should try it," Chang said with a smile.
Jiang Luoluo had never seen this kind of fruit before. Although Ke made a wide variety of jams, she would bring back any fruit she saw to try.
But that's just how the TAZ Forest is; there are always countless new things appearing.
