Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 216 Not moving at all

Sang Tian and Cang began to use daggers and bone knives to cut off the part of the largest purple-scaled fish that grew together with the ice surface.

Both of them were very careful with their steps, choosing only solid places without cracks.

The width of the fish is more than 15 meters, so it is not difficult to separate the two fish at the edge. Just pick it out bit by bit.

But what about the part in the middle that grows together with the ice surface?

Cang shouted to Yong across from him, "Yong, take a few males to the shore to get that hard-toothed leaf!"

Hard toothed leaves?

Cang explained to Sang Tian.

"This leaf is usually about 20 meters long and extremely hard. Although it is a leaf, it is even more so than the bone knife you suggested. The edge is serrated, hence the name.

It grows on giant trees on the top of the mountain. The tribe holds a large-scale sacrifice every three years, and selects the ten most powerful hunting team members of the tribe to climb up and collect it.

The first one to get it is the winner and will receive a bleating beast as a reward."

……

It turned out to be the case.

Although these hard-toothed leaves are extremely hard, they are 20 meters long and ancient people could not use them when going out hunting.

So in other words, these hard-toothed leaves are of no particular use to them.

At most, it will be used when killing extremely large ancient beasts.

The hunting ritual didn't require the hunters to gather it because of its high practical value. It was because it grew on towering trees...

To Sang Tian, almost every tree in this ancient forest was a towering giant. And to the ancients, what they called towering giant trees...

Its enormousness is beyond your imagination, Sang Tian. To say it's as tall as a bamboo shoot reaching the sky is not an exaggeration, but a realistic description...

Let them climb up tall trees to collect hard-toothed leaves. The emphasis is on climbing the trees, not collecting the hard-toothed leaves.

It is to train their perseverance, endurance, arm strength...all kinds of physical, psychological and spiritual qualities.

……

"Then why did you bring it this time?"

"The water beasts in the river are undoubtedly enormous. I thought I could use this when I'm splitting up the beasts..."

As expected of Cang, he is indeed attentive.

I've thought of all this.

Indeed, using our longest bone knife, which is only one meter long, to cut a fish that is dozens of meters long... doesn't seem very realistic...

……

Afterwards, Yong and several tribesmen came every five meters, holding leaves high.

Then, after reaching a safe area, dozens of people worked together to push the hard-toothed blades on the ice.

The huge thrust and the sliding force of the ice surface made the hard-toothed blades slide forward quickly.

Cang concentrated his attention and held the petiole of the hard-toothed leaf tightly the moment it slid towards him.

Got it...

……

The two of them worked together in perfect harmony to separate the part where the fish and the ice grew together.

Sang Tian used a bone knife to split the outermost meter first, while Cang inserted the hard-toothed leaf along the meter that Sang Tian had split, and then pushed hard... until the entire leaf penetrated the entire fish's belly.

This requires tremendous strength and endurance.

Although Sang Tian is weak.

But I will still give Cang some help to push Ye Zi, it is better than nothing.

In this way, the two of them kept repeating the actions under their hands.

……

Finally, an hour later...

The part of the fish that was completely connected to the ice was divided into two.

At this time, the two of them inserted one end of the rope into the leaf and passed the rope under the fish's body...

Then Cang Ze climbed onto the body of the purple-scaled fish and tied the rope tightly around the entire fish.

Then, he tied one end of the very long rope to the spear and threw it towards Yong with force.

After Yong got the rope, he began to gather his tribesmen together and lined up one by one to pull the purple-scaled fish in a tug-of-war posture.

But... twenty or thirty people might not be able to deal with this 30-meter-long purple-scaled fish.

So Lei ordered all the tribesmen on the shore to come over and help pull the boat.

Although the ice surface was indeed unable to bear the weight, the tribesmen were standing dozens of meters away from here and could not reach the cracks at all.

That's why Lei dared to ask other tribesmen to help.

……

Dozens of tribesmen held the rope tightly in a tug-of-war style, leaning back and pulling hard.

But, it didn't move at all.

After all, this fish is thirty meters long...

Sang Tian couldn't estimate its weight, and that number would definitely subvert her imagination.

Dozens of people couldn't shake it at all.

So the tribesmen had to stop.

Cang raised the hard-toothed leaf and wanted to divide the fish into three parts.

They couldn't pull a 30-meter-long monster, but if it was only a 10-meter-long fish, the tribesmen could still pull it over with a little effort.

Sang Tian had no way and no ability to help him in this aspect.

Sang Tian could only retreat and stand with his tribesmen, while Yong stepped forward to help Cang cut the fish into three parts.
