The aim of the stone head tribe was to isolate herd animals earlier than looking. To do this, they made traps to funnel the animals in a path.

When one or two buffalos are trapped. They encompass them and kill them. This was the easiest way for them to hunt.

Though pitfalls have been efficient. They weren’t efficient in a protracted hunt. As soon as a buffalo falls down the pit. The following animal would keep away from the pit.

So, at first, the hunters will use pitfalls and different traps to kill as a lot as they’ll. Then they’ll make use of different technique of looking. By doing that, they might save their stamina and forestall accidents.

No methodology was thought-about lowly in a hunt. And so they knew it effectively.

As soon as an animal was killed. The help workforce’s job was to rapidly transfer it away from the looking floor to a safe space.

In spite of everything, People weren’t the one ones right here to hunt. Different predators are additionally eyeing the prey. And if they don’t seem to be cautious. People would even be thought-about prey.

So. They must take fast motion. Earlier than the big predatory animals come. People must hunt what they’ll and escape.

Or else you’ll be able to think about the blood tub that is going to occur. This was additionally one of many the reason why the help workforce took fast motion within the looking floor to maneuver the prey away.

Nobody desires to face the animals that may hunt buffalo which might shatter stones with their head.

….

Alex waited for the elder’s sign. And as quickly because the animals reached the realm beneath the cliff. The elder rolled a stone down. It barely scraped by a buffalo. However it was sufficient to spook the herd.

The slow-moving herd. Started accelerating down the valley. It was like a series response.

When one buffalo was startled. All the things round it additionally grew to become spooked. They jumped rapidly responding to the hazard. Dodging all of the falling rocks.

Alex who stood atop the cliff was startled seeing how these heavy animals which weighed many metric tons have been leaping. Their agility and energy have been no joke.

Now he fully believes that he cannot kill any prey with stones alone. It was crazier than what was advised to him.

“Do not simply stand there. Come and assist this outdated bones. Assist me push these stones down.” Dhairya, who noticed Alex losing time urged.

Alex did not waste time anymore. He rapidly started pushing the stones down. He did not care if they might hit the mark anymore. He simply needed to make as a lot chaos as he can. And he was profitable in doing so.

Dhairya who noticed this smiled. In contrast to the younger males who have been too excited and took motion with out considering. Alex was totally different. He was thorough and considerate.

He knew what to ask. When to comply with orders and to do it as effectively as he can. He was a inventive and considerate child. Dhairya thought.

“Okay, it is accomplished. Now we will go down and assist the others. We wouldn’t have any time to waste. Earlier than the true rulers of the wilderness come. We have to escape. The chaos will invite undue consideration. Watch out of large Wolves, Mountain lions and different predators ready within the bushes for us to make a mistake.”

“What ought to I do as soon as we attain the valley?”

“You could carry the meat and safe it on the ready carriage. As soon as the hunt is over, we are going to depart as quick as we will towards the tribe. Be prepared when it is time.”

“Okay!” After saying that. Alex ran in the direction of the valley. He was required to hold the meat from the valley in the direction of the camp. And be certain that they have been prepared to flee swiftly if mandatory.

——-

Alex reached the valley the place the hunt was happening.

It was pure chaos as anticipated. Many individuals have been working round carrying weapons. And the help workforce was busy carrying the carcases in the direction of the camp.

If he may think about what a warzone could be like, this was how he would think about it to be.

His coronary heart pumped like loopy within the chaos, forcing him to maneuver and work collectively in sync with the hunters. Shortly transferring in the direction of the help workforce, he helped them carry the prey. Buffalo weighing greater than three tons was simply carried by this group of 4 youngsters.

“Give it to us.” One of many guys within the entrance known as out. He was one of many older generations of the help workforce.

Regardless that the youngsters may carry the carcase, strolling a protracted distance was inconceivable. So, they solely needed to ship the carcass to the older era. They might then transfer it to the camp.

Alex who noticed this was impressed by the environment friendly utilization of manpower.

“You there, comply with me. We’re going to the pitfalls to gather the opposite carcass.” One man known as out to Alex.

“Okay.” Alex nodded in affirmation.

The pitfall was twenty toes deep with sharpened tree trunks on the backside. They have been pointed upwards like spears aiming to hit the underbelly of the animals.

And in that pitfall was a calf on its final breath.

“Waaa.”

A feeble cry got here out of its mouth.

“You, go down and carry it up. We now have to maneuver it earlier than the subsequent one comes.”

Alex, who heard this was in a momentary stupor. This was a harmful job. Even a small calf may squish him right into a meat patty if he was careless. Regardless that the calf was weak and virtually lifeless, it would not lower the hazard.

And what if one other animal broke via the hunter and fell into the pitfall whereas he was inside it?

Alex felt a chill go up his backbone. Each attainable state of affairs he imagined had a nasty ending for him.

“What are you ready for? Do it quick earlier than the subsequent one comes, we now have to cowl up this place and depart.”

He did not have a lot time to consider it. Alex jumped down the pitfall rapidly.

The calf was as large as he was and weighed greater than 300kg. However it was simple for Alex to carry it up. All of the sudden a rope was thrown down by the person above. Alex tied the rope round him after grabbing the calf.

Regardless that the calf squirmed in ache, Alex held on to it tightly. Stopping it from slipping away.

Earlier than he knew it, Alex was pulled up by the person.

“You probably did effectively, child. Now, take this calf and run onto the sidelines.” Throwing him a bit of rope, the person mentioned.

He did not need to make it troublesome for Alex.

However earlier than they might transfer away. They heard a thunderous sound coming from the frontlines.

“Thump…Thump…” The sound got here close to them rising ever so barely.

Inside seconds, they might really feel the earth vibrating in line with the sound. And the trumpeting of an offended animal shook the encircling.

It was a mammoth. A four-tusked woolly mammoth.

Like a mountain strolling on its 4 legs. It was transferring in the direction of the hunters within the frontline. Spreading concern amongst them.

‘Had been they planning to hunt it?’ Alex thought incredulously.

The mammoth was between thirty to forty toes tall and might be known as a meat mountain. And it appeared ferocious with its 4 tusks prepared to tear aside something that stood in its means.

Alex checked out it in disbelief.

Was it even attainable to go close to that factor, a lot much less hunt it? Alex thought.

However earlier than he may see what precisely was occurring. A scream unfold from the environment. Each one of many hunters was screaming, making noises to draw the mammoth.

“These nut jobs.” Alex mentioned whereas attempting to run away.

“You do not have to go now. The hunt can be over after we kill that…” Stated the person with a smile.

“How are you going to kill that?”

“Identical to we all the time do. Now see why we’re known as the stone head tribe…”Stated the person mysteriously earlier than strolling in the direction of the mammoth.
