I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 299 – Smoke bomb
Not only was he in a panic, but the other Bone Tribe members were also in extreme panic.
Firstly, they had experienced the strength of the Green Sparrow Tribe not long ago. Secondly, they had just obtained a large amount of game, and everyone was joyful. Suddenly, being startled like this was undoubtedly a severe blow.
Adults searching for weapons, children wailing and running around in chaos.
At this moment, the sound of bowstrings outside the cave rang out, accompanied by feathered arrows and stones flying in through the cave entrance.
Some unlucky ones had already been hit.
Bone Tribe’s leader shouted, pulling two people with him to quickly reach the cave entrance, picking up the nearby stone slabs, and, despite the feathered arrows flying in sporadically, began to block the entrance.
During this process, feathered arrows or stone projectiles occasionally struck the stone slabs, making clanging sounds.
The Green Sparrow Tribe’s aggressive and sudden attack made it impossible to organize a counterattack.
Currently, all they could do was block the entrance of the cave.
As long as they could hold the cave entrance, those people wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.
It had been proven that being a leader and leading the tribe to survive required some ability.
In the rush, the Bone Tribe leader shouted loudly while blocking the cave entrance, comforting the people.
Seeing that the cave entrance was blocked, preventing the alarming attack from coming in, and hearing the leader’s loud shout, the Bone Tribe’s people were no longer as panicked.
In the light of the fire from the cave, some people had already taken up weapons and were heading towards the cave entrance to help the leader, and others supported the stone slabs.
Amidst the busy scene in the Bone Tribe, the Eldest Senior Brother and his group had also arrived at the Bone Tribe’s cave.
Looking at the cave entrance, already blocked by several stone slabs, Shang and Sha looked at each other, wondering what to do.
They all turned their eyes to the Eldest Senior Brother.
The Eldest Senior Brother, seeing this, was not anxious and appeared confident.
Instead of rushing to push the stone slabs as Sha suggested, he had someone light a fire in front of the Bone Tribe’s cave under the cover of the shield and spear team.
The fire started quickly because they had already lit the tinder before coming here.
After the fire rose and wouldn’t go out, he instructed someone to place the pile of firewood they had brought on the fire and pour the water from their water bottles on top.
Thick smoke billowed up immediately.
Seeing the smoke rising upwards, he thought momentarily. Then, he instructed three people to use their shields as fans to fan the thick smoke towards the Bone Tribe’s cave entrance.
At the same time, he ordered the second brother of the slingshot team to lead one person to the place not far from the Bone Tribe’s cave where they had stacked firewood and brought it here.
He also instructed several people to quickly go to the small river near the Bone Tribe and fetch water using a pottery jar for cooking soup and another small pottery jar for drinking water.
The Bone Tribe leader exerted all his strength to prop up the stone slabs blocking the cave entrance, with several others helping him.
Now, these stone slabs blocking the entrance were their hope for survival.
As long as they could hold up the stone slabs and prevent them from being pushed open, their tribe would be safe.
From the commotion outside, they knew that the people from that tribe had already arrived at the cave entrance.
What they were going to do next was push the stone slabs.
Thinking this way, the Bone Tribe leader shouted, giving orders to everyone.
All the people, including him, propping up the stone slabs, exerted all their strength.
However, after resisting for a while, the expected impact did not come.
The Bone Tribe leader was puzzled. What did the people of this tribe want to do?
Could it be that they wanted to wait until their tribe was starving and then open the cave entrance themselves?
The Bone Tribe leader chuckled at these thoughts, showing no fear whatsoever.
Today, they had just caught a lot of games and hadn’t eaten any yet. Plus, they had plenty of newly harvested wild vegetables. They could survive for five or six days if they were frugal.
Could the food these guys brought last for five or six days?
Thinking like this, he felt pretty pleased with himself.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw smoke seeping through the stone slabs’ cracks.
Their cave entrance was not regular, and the stone slabs blocking the entrance were the largest and flattest ones they could find.
So, it was impossible to completely seal the cave entrance when two irregular things came together.
Having many cracks was normal; being completely sealed was abnormal.
What were the people from this tribe trying to do?
They came over, didn’t push the stone slabs, but lit a fire outside. Were they planning to burn themselves and the others to death?
He looked at the stone slabs, full of confusion.
With these stone slabs blocking it, how could the fire get in?
This kind of confusion was not only felt by the Bone Tribe leader but also by most of the Bone Tribe’s people.
Their confusion didn’t last long because…
Cough cough cough
Cough cough cough
A series of heartbreaking coughs came from the cave, accompanied by some children crying.
Fire couldn’t get in with the stone slabs blocking it, but smoke could.
At first, Shang and others who had thought this method wasn’t very effective lit up at this realization.
Shang, who had long wanted to fight someone, also wanted to use the shields to fan the wind.
But the Eldest Senior Brother rejected him; he had other things to do.
Eight members of the spear team each thrust their spears into the bigger gaps at the cave entrance and vigorously pushed and pulled.
The Bone Tribe leader, coughing madly and shedding tears, truly experienced the power of smoke.
He coughed while shouting, ordering people to block up these gaps quickly.
He hurriedly tore the fur from his body and stuffed it into the largest gap.
They couldn’t see what was happening outside, with smoke pouring into these cracks. He just reached out his hand, and a spearhead stabbed through.
It pierced the Bone Tribe leader’s arm.
The spearhead was made of bone and much sharper than stone.
He pushed outwards with force, and the spear pushed inwards. His arm collided with the spearhead, which pierced into his arm, causing him to scream in pain and quickly retract his arm.
With these spears constantly poking in like this, the Bone Tribe’s people couldn’t block the gaps at all.
Because the cave was filled with smoke at this time, and their vision was severely affected, several people were even injured by the spears.
The Bone Tribe leader and the Bone Tribe’s people were all panicking.
They had thought hiding in the cave was safe, but now they realized it would have been better to fight their way out at the beginning rather than end up in this situation.
Somebody, coughing and intermittently speaking, shouted their thoughts to the Bone Tribe leader.
They wanted to rush out and fight desperately against the Green Sparrow Tribe’s people.
However, the Bone Tribe leader immediately refused.
