With Li Hongshen's roar, the five people in the front row including him rushed towards the crocodile.
And this female crocodile also ejected from the nest, twisting her body to dodge Li Hongshen's heavy blow, and then dodged other people's culls, and then rushed to the rear.
"Damn it, it will flash, I was careless."
Seeing the female crocodile dodge his attack flexibly, Li Hongshen roared in his heart, then braked and reversed his footsteps, and the whole person jumped towards the crocodile again.
But the crocodile is already approaching the rear at this time, and the shape of the team has already been scattered by the crocodile impact.
Just when Li Hongshen felt that he had to sacrifice a few people, a warrior stood on the route of the crocodile's charge with a knife in one hand and a thick wooden club in the other.
Immediately afterwards, Li Hongshen saw a very amazing scene. The warrior did not have any carelessness. He first dodged to avoid the charge of the crocodile, and then turned around and hit the crocodile's nose with a heavy blow.
Afterwards, the crocodile became dizzy due to the blow to its nasal cavity, curled up into a ball uncontrollably, rolled and hit the big tree next to it under the action of its own power.
Li Hongshen and several warriors rushed to the giant crocodile, and kept waving the machete in their hands, slashing at the neck of the crocodile. The scene at that time was extremely bloody.
After the crocodile's head was completely severed, Li Hongshen relaxed and slid off the crocodile. His whole body was dull and his body was a little weak. He knew this was the result of adrenaline.
After relaxing for a while, Li Hongshen came to the warrior just now,
"You are very nice, I remember your name is Li Li, right?"
"Yes patriarch, this name was given by you."
"If it weren't for you just now, the tribe might have to reduce its staff. You did a good job. You are now the second in command of the tribe hunting team. When you go back, I will give you priority in making a leather armor out of crocodile skin."
"Thank you patriarch, haha"
Li Li scratched his head, with a naive smile on his face, while smiling, there was still blood on his hands, which was due to the rupture of the tiger's mouth caused by the heavy blow before.
In the original tribe, only patriarchs and elders could have names, and names were also used for inheritance.
But after Li Hongshen came, he began to name everyone in the tribe, and a hundred names were recorded in Li Hongshen's mind.
Li Hongshen had discussed this batch of crocodiles with everyone before they came. At present, there should be no juvenile crocodiles. All adult crocodiles will be killed, and then the crocodile skins will be made into leather armor and distributed to the warriors in the tribe.
The crocodile meat will be discarded directly, because Li Hongshen is afraid that some bacteria and insects may live in the crocodile meat and cause some incurable diseases.
As for the crocodile eggs, Li Hongshen plans to take them back to see if they can hatch, and then domesticate the crocodiles to prepare for the endless wilderness.
Accompanied by the six-meter giant female crocodile, the crowd dealt with several female crocodiles that had already laid eggs.
They are not that long or big, only about 4 meters. Except for a few unlucky ones who strained their muscles with too much force, no one else was injured.
This can be regarded as solving the problem of no poisoning in the entire crocodile group, and then the people used stone spears and ropes to salvage the belly-turned crocodiles in the lake one by one, and then skinned them one by one.
They worked from the scorching sun until the evening, and then set up torches, and all the people worked all night and all night.
Until the noon of the next day, all the crocodile groups were processed by everyone, the fresh crocodile skins were tied up and put away, and the leftovers of the crocodiles were directly buried on the spot.
As the sun set again, Li Hongshen led the people back to the camp of the Fengqigu tribe. In just two days, they destroyed a small herd of animals and brought back many crocodile skins and eggs.
And this also allowed Li Hongshen to grow a little bit. No matter how good the plan is on paper, it is never as good as an actual operation. This time, the planning of the saltwater crocodile swarm was safe and sound, and Li Hongshen's plan was successfully completed.
Later, Li Hongshen recruited the Great Elder Li Baolu from the tribe. He was the head of the artisans arranged by Li Hongshen, and all the artisan skill books were patted on his head.
Under his leadership, the crocodile skins were fixed on wooden boards in an orderly manner, and stood next to the bonfire for drying. Tomorrow, the women would go to the seaside to use the natural salt in the sea to pickle and preserve.
The crocodile skin that has been rinsed and pickled in seawater will be beaten, and after being beaten flat, it will be fixed to dry.
Afterwards, it will be made into leather armor for the warriors in the tribe. According to the calculations of the elders, these crocodile skins can be made into more than 30 sets of full-cover leather armor.
The next day, the women piled the leather armor on the raft, dragged the raft by the rope and walked to the seaside by the stream.
And Li Hongshen led a group of men to the west again, this time there were warriors, hunters and blacksmiths in the team.
In addition to checking to see if there were any crocodiles that slipped through the net, they also mined the open-pit iron mine to create suitable iron tools for the tribe.
Chapter 5 Construction
Six months later, the island where Li Hongshen is located has changed its appearance very obviously. There is a road running through the east and west sides of the island.
There are wooden tracks laid on the road, from the open-pit iron mine in the west to the waterfall in the west and then to the Fengqigu camp.
A large waterwheel was erected above the waterfall to connect with a smelting workshop, and the iron ore dug out from the mine in the west would be transported here for smelting into ironware.
Then it is transported to Fengqi Valley in the east, and Fengqi Valley in the east will transport food and other materials and craftsmen on duty to the west every day.
In these six months, the batch of crocodile leather armor has been completely completed, except for the patrol team, the others are stored in the cave.
In addition to leather armor, ironware was also produced on a large scale. Relying on ironware and skill books, Li Hongshen started a wave of large-scale construction in the territory.
First of all, Li Hongshen led the people of the tribe to reclaim a large number of terraced fields on the hillside to the north of Fengqi Valley.
And a large bucket was built above the terraced fields as a water tower, and then a small wisp of water was diverted from the mountain spring and flowed into the bucket for storage.
In addition to the five grains that are the staple food in the terraced fields, Li Hongshen also planted onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings, as well as various medicines such as Radix Isatidis, all of which were discovered while exploring the island.
These medicines have played a great role. In this tribal era, common colds can easily kill people, and these medicines can make people resist this most prone disease.
However, since there are no long-haired animals on the island, no sweaters can be produced. Currently, people in the camp wear a mixture of sackcloth, palm and leather.
The sackcloth was made from wild flax plants near the place where the crocodiles were originally located. After discovering the flax plants, Li Hongshen really laughed out loud. He is God's favorite cub.
After discovering flax plants, Li Hongshen transplanted a large number of them on both sides of the stream on the small plain in front of the valley mouth.
Because flax can not only be made into hemp rope, but also can be woven into linen and sewn into clothes.
It is also a natural oil crop, which can free the tribe from the lack of chicken oil and fish oil, so that they can use and enjoy vegetable oil.
In addition to sackcloth, Li Hongshen also led the women in the tribe to develop a leather garment using palm combined with fish skin and rubber.
It is rain-proof, anti-dirty and anti-dirty. When you go out, wear linen clothes to absorb sweat and breathe, put on leather clothes outside, and tie thick bamboo slices on the legs to effectively prevent snake bites.
The southern hillside was fixed, and a large number of sycamore trees in the middle of the mountains were transplanted. In the small lake in the middle of Fengqi Valley, there were more than a dozen small crocodiles, which were hatched from dozens of crocodile eggs brought back. little guy.
Li Hongshen led the hunters to domesticate these small crocodiles, and arranged special personnel to take care of them. Every day, he would release some small fish, shrimps or frogs to let them compete and prey.
In addition, Li Hongshen will also arrange for people in the tribe to get acquainted with them, although they cannot grow quickly in a short one-year trial.
It can only play the role of a mascot, but Li Hongshen is very optimistic about the biological template provided by these little guys after he becomes the lord.
The tribe's camp has also been expanded to make full use of these vacant positions, and the number of houses has increased from the original dozen to more than [-] now.
Except for Li Hongshen who lived alone in a two-storey luxury patriarch's wooden house, everyone else lived in pairs, including the eldest elder who seemed to be quite old.
And this caused that every night, there would be various sounds from the houses in the camp, one after another, like a competition, which troubled Li Hong deeply, and he came up with a solution after a week.
