Starting from Robinson Crusoe

In the face of the hard and sharp metal, the defense that the Hairy Rhinoceros was so proud of became meaningless.

Its heavy body showed its drawbacks at this moment.

The slender, tiny, and strange animal that knew no fear wandered beside it, attacking it bit by bit with claws or fangs of unknown shape.

Pain could not awaken the rationality of the Hairy Rhinoceros.

After all, compared to the Mammoth, the threat from humans still seemed far too small.

In this era, Homo sapiens had not truly risen, using hordes of shouts and long spears as dense as raindrops to cast a shadow of fear in the hearts of prehistoric beasts.

A dull perception of pain and a savage temperament were weapons against fierce beasts.

However, when faced with Chen Zhou, these "weapons" became the scythe of death.

Until it lost too much blood, the tendons of its forelegs and two hind legs were severed, it could no longer stand, only collapse to the ground, did the bloodlust in the Hairy Rhinoceros’ eyes fully dissipate.

The burning rage extinguished instantly, replaced by fear, genuine dread of this tiny creature.

The female Hairy Rhinoceros could feel the call of death; on the grasslands, such things happened all the time, just rarely to animals like them, nearly at the top of the food chain.

It knew it couldn’t escape, so it widened its small eyes and made a low call with all its strength.

The sound was not a roar of despair, not a cry of the dying, but a warning, a warning to its not-yet-grown child, to run, run as far as possible.

And today’s scene would be etched deeply into the memory of the young Hairy Rhinoceros.

If it could have offspring, perhaps its descendants would heed the advice of their elders, passing the reverence for humans down generations.

...

Upon hearing its mother’s call, the dazed young Hairy Rhinoceros stood still for a while, incessantly looking in the direction of the female Rhinoceros.

The young rhinoceroses mature around three years old; they are born after a female rhinoceros’ eighteen-month pregnancy.

Before maturity, the young rhinoceroses remain by the side of the female rhinoceros until they can live independently.

Don’t be misled by the sheer size of this Hairy Rhinoceros; in the rhinoceros’ fifty-year life span, it’s still less than a two-year-old infant, instinctively reliant on its mother.

As if not hearing the heavy hoofbeats of the young Hairy Rhinoceros, the female Hairy Rhinoceros put forth all her effort to let out a second cry.

Only then did the young Hairy Rhinoceros awaken, setting its still tender four hooves in the opposite direction, running away, crossing the mound, gradually disappearing from Chen Zhou’s view.

Watching the silhouette of the young Hairy Rhinoceros grow smaller in the distance, Chen Zhou used the hairs on the high shoulders of the Hairy Rhinoceros to wipe his knife, then aimed precisely, giving this giant beast a swift end.

The scent of blood wafting across the grassland acted like a silent call, drawing the Three-headed Saw-toothed Tiger back.

It was the first time the young ones had come close to prey so enormous, their behavior was curious yet fearful.

Though the Saw-toothed Tiger’s diet included Mammoths, those were mostly Mammoth calves less than half a year old or elderly Mammoths that would fall by themselves without any attack needed.

A Hairy Rhinoceros in such robust midlife was something even a flourishing pack of Saw-toothed Tigers wouldn’t dare provoke lightly.

For the little ones, this still warm creature, continually exuding a bloody scent was both strange and tempting.

They circled around the bleeding Hairy Rhinoceros, the bravest Tiger Second occasionally leaping forward to try using its claws to grab the Hairy Rhinoceros’ hide.

As if worried that this creature would suddenly attack, it would immediately turn its back and run after probing, then repeat the process.

Watching his particularly wild brother, Tiger First stood still with a face full of helplessness, awkwardly yawning with his mouth wide open, revealing the canine teeth that had grown significantly longer than the other teeth.

This "mature" composure didn’t last long.

After all, they were young ones; it wasn’t long before Tiger First and Tiger Third joined in this special game.

Chen Zhou was starting a fire, yet to carve open the chest cavity of the Hairy Rhinoceros.

The little ones probed for a while, gradually discovering a "safest" spot—

The anus of the female Hairy Rhinoceros.

It’s unclear who discovered it first.

In any case, the eldest and the second of the young Saw-toothed Tigers divided their roles clearly; Tiger First was responsible for holding the thick tail of the Hairy Rhinoceros, while Tiger Second took on the role of "pioneer," attacking directly under the Rhinoceros’ behind, clawing and biting.

Tiger Third opened his mouth gently, looking amazed at the energetic work of his elder brothers, quietly circled to the neck of the Hairy Rhinoceros, cautiously licking the blood pooled on the ground, savoring the salty fragrance.

Before long, Chen Zhou, who had just lit the fire, smelled a somewhat sour herbivore dung scent.

Turning his head, he saw Tiger Second covered head to toe with fresh Hairy Rhinoceros dung, its grass-yellow fur turned completely poop-yellow.

Seeing the "Leader" watching him, Tiger Second grinned blissfully, revealing a tongue smeared with grass stalk fragments and some Hairy Rhinoceros fur, apparently quite proud of his brave actions.

"Damn, why are you eating shit?"

Roar!

Having been hungry for nearly a day, finally eating "warm" food, Tiger Second was particularly excited, hearing Chen Zhou’s voice, bounding and leaping towards him.

Even when wielding a single knife against the Hairy Rhinoceros, Chen Zhou hadn’t felt fear, but now seeing Tiger Second pounce towards him, his expression changed.

"Stay the hell away from me."
