I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 406 – The Revengeful Dog
Regarding the approaching danger, the Deer Lord remained oblivious, still leisurely grazing on the grass.
Xiao Fu was never a docile dog. When it occasionally sparred with the deer in the herd, it left the group alone and wandered around in the surrounding bushes and trees.
Due to some small animals being disturbed by the deer herd and the wolves mixed among them, there were usually some onlookers on the outskirts.
Every time Xiao Fu followed the deer herd, it never returned empty-handed, and this time was no exception.
Hearing the movement nearby, Xiao Fu lowered its body, claws scraping the ground, preparing to pounce and catch its prey.
In this silent wait, two legs with thicker fur than the rest suddenly appeared in front of it.
The person holding a stone-tipped spear stared intently at the unsuspecting deer herd, cautiously moving his steps.
All his attention was focused on the distant herd of deer, without noticing what was under his feet.
Seeing these two legs, Xiao Fu relaxed its vigilance. Instead of immediately pouncing and biting, it waited. It had seen similar legs before.
However, its relaxation lasted only a moment because a familiar scent came from the person!
Xiao Fu had a good memory in some respects, and relying on this scent, it even recognized that this was the two-legged beast that had tried to stab them with a spear before, only to be bullied by them!
When enemies met, their eyes turned red. Encountering a grudge-holding dog, this unsuspecting guy could only consider himself unlucky.
Amidst the rustling of the trees and the chaotic noise of the branches, a fully grown dog suddenly leaped up, emitting a fierce growl from its throat, and directly pounced on the two furry legs.
It bit down fiercely!
A cry of pain rang out from the primitive man, who was taken aback by the sudden events.
In his agony, he instinctively thrust the spear he held tightly towards the dog that had bitten him, aiming to strike it.
However, he missed.
The dog that had just bitten him unexpectedly let go and turned around to run at an extremely swift speed.
As it ran, it continued to emit warning-like cries, sounding as if it had been greatly wronged.
To achieve such a swift strike and flee thousands of miles away without any delay was thanks to the previous encounter with the swarm.
Since mouthing off at the beehive and not running away in time, almost unrecognizable due to the swelling, Xiao Fu naturally mastered this skill and became exceptionally adept at it.
The sudden cry of pain and the sound of Xiao Fu running and barking instantly disturbed the tranquility of the area.
The deer, who were grazing leisurely, suddenly became alert, raising their heads and turning their ears to look around. The dogs under Fu Jiang’s command also entered a state of alertness.
There were also two heading towards Xiao Fu.
“$%$&!”
After hearing the painful cry of the tribe member and seeing the reaction of the deer herd, the chief of the tribe couldn’t help but curse angrily.
Then, without concealing his figure, he appeared from his hiding place, holding his weapon, and chased after the herd of deer, which had already turned and started running towards the distance.
The rest of the people also appeared one after another, shouting and yelling as they sprinted.
“$%$&!”
Just as he got up and hadn’t moved far from the tree bark, seeing this scene made him curse angrily.
Were these guys in the tribe intentionally causing trouble? Couldn’t they wait a bit closer before shouting? Before launching the attack?
After a moment of daze, Cao Geng picked up his weapon and sprinted towards the deer herd, billowing up a dust cloud.
Although he knew it was impossible to catch up now.
As he ran, he shouted some words in his mouth.
Translated into modern language, it would be like, “Weren’t you guys tough last time? Why run now? Don’t be scared?”
Amid his run, Xiao Fu would sometimes turn and bark loudly.
The general idea was – are you the foolish dog, or am I? Do you want to get beaten by not running now?
All right, I admit it. This part was a random translation by the author. Although he was proficient in various tribal languages, he was a complete novice in the language of dogs.
There was a cacophony of human shouts, deer cries, and dog barks for a while.
After realizing that many people were rushing out, Fu Jiang, who originally intended to charge forward to meet the enemy, was like the Deer Lord. He whimpered and turned around, scampering away without any hesitation.
After prolonged contact with humans, these guys tended to become more cunning.
A chase was initiated here, a pursuit not uncommon in this era. What was unexpected, however, was that the two species, which were supposed to be natural enemies, actually fled together in a cloud of dust…
“Hoo… Hoo…”
Cao Geng pressed his hands on his knees, panting heavily, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
“Phew…”
After panting for a while, he spat out some mouthfuls of dirt, looking frustrated and resentful.
Having finally seen this herd of deer, he ended up with a mouthful of dirt!
“Thud!”
The chief, who had regained some strength, fiercely kicked the leg of the man who had been bitten by Xiao Fu and was screaming in pain.
If it weren’t for this guy, why would they have ended up with nothing?
Understanding the reason for the failure, Cao Geng also clenched his fists with hatred. It was those damn wolves again!
Although they didn’t get anything this time, Cao Geng’s status compared to before had changed somewhat. Seeing such a large herd of deer with their eyes, they completely believed Cao Geng’s words.
Not only that, but most of them also harbored the same thoughts as Cao Geng – to kill these wolves and deer and then skin and eat them!
About three days after such events, learning from two consecutive failures and the shameless behavior of these deer and wolves, Cao Geng devised a plan.
The plan was that the next time they encountered these guys, a small group of people would approach first to attract their attention, and then the rest would move out. They would then kill these bullies who had caused him so much trouble.
Talent is indeed forced out, and when dogs are anxious, they jump walls; when rabbits are anxious, they bite people. Cao Geng, who wasn’t strong in intelligence, was also forced by the shameless behavior of the deer and wolves to start thinking strategically.
As soon as he proposed this plan, it quickly gained everyone’s approval. They were all sharpening their knives for those deer and wolves…
