Chapter 962: 961. Hunting Tribes (55)

The lion hunter dares to provoke the African buffalo. He is not fast because he is fat, but he understands the habits of the African buffalo.

The cow didn't chase them all the time to take revenge. After running a few steps, seeing that it didn't catch up with the group of people, it stopped and returned to the herd dejectedly.

This is the habit of African buffaloes. They do not want to be too far away from the group. They are very group-oriented animals and lack a sense of security in the external environment.

Therefore, the African buffalo has become the largest and most numerous large wild animal on the African continent. As long as the buffalo live in groups, even if they are as fierce as a lion, they dare not provoke them easily.

Once the African buffalo lives alone, it is not far from death. Hyenas, lions, leopards, crocodiles, all carnivores will give priority to them.

In addition, stray African buffaloes are very irritable. Under the psychology of insecurity, they are full of aggression and will attack any creature that approaches them or even appears in their sight.

It is also for this reason that they easily become the enemies of all creatures and accelerate their death rate.

After leaving the buffalo herd, Li Du inevitably complained: "Man, aren't you looking for trouble? Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise it would be too dangerous to be caught up by the buffalo."

They didn't take Sophie with them on this trip. Sophie didn't have any interest in hunting, and she didn't bother to suffer with them, so she stayed in the camp.

If Sophie accompanied her, she would probably be overtaken by the female buffalo.

The lion hunter laughed and said, "I'm not looking for trouble, Li. Just wait and see. I'll take you to hunt lions tonight. Of course, it may also be leopards. In short, we will have a big harvest tonight."

Li Du reacted quickly, and immediately understood what he meant, and said, "You used the carcass of that little buffalo to attract ferocious beasts?"

The lion hunter winked at him and said, "You guessed it."

The puddles provide water for the surrounding animals, and there are quite a few wild animals here.

Led by Abedu, they entered a small mountain, and dozens of small mounds appeared in front of them, with weeds, bushes and small trees growing on them, and some wild birds were chirping.

Abode waved his hand, pointed to a mound in front of him and said something vaguely.

He spoke in Zulu, but Li Du couldn't understand, so he looked at the lion hunter.

The lion hunter lifted his spirits and said, "Cape Town Porcupine!"

The Cape Town porcupine, also known as the South African porcupine, is the largest rodent in South Africa and the largest porcupine in the world.

Li Du was also refreshed. He had never seen porcupines, but had only heard of their reputation. This thing was covered with long spikes and had a strange appearance.

Following Abedu's instructions, Li Du looked carefully, but saw nothing.

The lion hunter smiled and said, "Didn't you find it? Haha, only our excellent Zulu hunters can find the prey."

Unconvinced, Li Du released small flying insects, and soon he found the porcupine in the middle of the hill.

No wonder he has bad eyesight. This porcupine is very camouflaged. It is lying in a pile of tall weeds, holding a potato-like thing with its front paws, and is gnawing vigorously.

What they encountered was a large porcupine, about 70 to 80 centimeters in length. The front half of its body was dark brown, and it turned black at the back. The long thorns are black-brown and white, similar to weeds when erected, and they are difficult to spot from a distance.

Porcupines are also called porcupines, and as the name suggests, they are pigs covered with needles. But Li Du looked carefully and found that it didn't look like a pig at all.

Not to mention that from the back to the tail, it is covered with spines like clusters of arrows that pigs do not have. Let’s just talk about its appearance. Porcupines have a fat body and sharp teeth. Their mouths and faces are more like mice. When they gnaw, they use their front teeth, just like mice.

After seeing the porcupine, Li Dugang wanted to take back the little flying insect, but the little flying insect flew to the side of the hill, and he found two people lying on the weeds!

These two people were covered with weeds, dark skinned, and thin. One held a bow and arrow in his hand, and the other held a javelin, staring at the porcupine.

Obviously, they are native hunters on the African grasslands, and their target is this porcupine.

Seeing this, Li Du smiled slightly, and said to the lion hunter: "The Zulu tribe's excellent hunters are amazing, but my vision is also good. I saw that porcupine. In addition, I also saw two hunters."

His words made the lion hunter stunned, and said, "Two hunters?"

Li Du showed a surprised expression on purpose, and asked, "Didn't you notice?"

He pointed to the place where the two were hiding: "Look carefully, that's where they are after this porcupine."

The lion hunter asked suspiciously: "Really? Dude, are you kidding me?"

Abedu said, "Hazai."

Li Du asked, "Hazai? What do you mean?"

The lion hunter said: "He confirmed what you said. There are indeed people there. They are hunters from the Hadzai tribe."

Li Du suddenly realized that he had been learning about South Africa before, and had seen some information about the Hazai tribe.

This tribe is a pure primitive hunting tribe. They do not farm or do business. They have hunted on the grassland for generations.

They are gypsies in Africa, but their migration route follows animals. The Hadzai tribe originally belonged to Tanzania and Mozambique, but because Mozambique borders South Africa, some will also come to South Africa.

Like other mainly migratory peoples in the world, the Hadzais are low-key and tolerant, so although they belong to the invaders, South Africans did not expel them.

However, they are outsiders after all, and most South Africans still don't like them very much, because they come here to compete with the locals for resources.

Knowing that the Hadzais were about to ambush the porcupine, the lion hunter snorted coldly, raised his gun to the sky and pulled the trigger: "Bang!"

The loud gunshots startled the wild birds and porcupines.

The porcupine threw away the fruit under its paws, and quickly burrowed deep into the weeds.

Once the shots were fired, the Hadzai hunters, knowing they could not ambush the porcupines, quickly attacked.

A javelin shot out and stuck right in the porcupine's escape route.

In this way, the porcupine was frightened, and subconsciously froze for a moment, then turned around and ran away.

The moment it froze, another hunter shot an arrow, and the sharp arrow hit the porcupine's back with a 'swish'.

It was a joint attack, and the purpose of the javelin was not to kill the porcupine, but to frighten it and buy the archers time.

However, the bows and arrows used by the Hazai hunters are self-made, and the lethality is average. After being hit by the arrow, the porcupine did not fall to the ground and died, but dragged the arrow to turn and continue to escape.

The hill was steep, and the porcupine stepped on the air and rolled down in panic. Its fat body could just roll along the hillside.

After rolling down, it was still alive, and subconsciously got up and ran away, just in the direction of Li Du and others.
