Chapter 138 The first hunt of trolls
"Then tell me."

"What is a hunter?"

A hoarse voice echoed at the foothills of the snow-capped mountains.

The cold wind blew, but it had little effect on the trolls.

Even a young troll can easily overcome the strong winds in the snow-capped mountains to the east of this second peak.

Or more accurately, the baby trolls of the "Big Stick Clan" can be easily overcome.

Because they are all the "new generation" who grew up eating the snowstorm bear meat that was blessed by the [Hunting Ceremony].

Troll women give birth to babies in eight months, while the baby trolls will generally reach a height of more than 1.7 meters when they are eight years old and begin to assist the hunting team in hunting.

Generally speaking, trolls are considered adults at the age of ten, by which time their height will basically reach two meters.

Of course, none of this is absolute.

The amount of food often determines the size of the troll.

It is precisely because of this that the new generation of trolls have already started their first hunting in their lives at the age of five or six.

Different from the practice of the "Big Stick Clan" in the past hundred years, before this time's "first hunt", the leading troll Grox also gave the little trolls a special "hunting theory lesson".

On the one hand, it's because these trolls are too young. Normally, at their age, they should be looking for shit in the snow to play with.

Although Guabulaq agreed to their request to participate in the hunt because their heights were already fully up to standard, they must make more preparations beforehand.

On the other hand, Guabulaq was inspired by humans and decided to try theoretical education, hoping to use this method to enlighten young trolls whose intelligence levels were still possible to save.

So far, the effect is not bad.

A stalwart little troll who was barely 1.7 meters tall but had two extremely thick fangs answered Grox's question excitedly:
“Know the target, find the target, cover yourself.”

The little troll waved the "children's stone stick" distributed by the clan in his right hand - one meter long and weighing thirty kilograms - before continuing:

"Finally, crush the target!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chorus of praises all around. It was easy to tell from these rough voices with a hint of softness that they mostly came from little girls:
"Uga is so right!"

"Uga is so smart!"

"Uga is so handsome and awesome!"

The compliments from the girls made Uga even more forgetful and held her head high.

The sunlight reflected from the snow highlighted his majestic and majestic fangs that did not match his age.

After hearing Uga's answer, Grox nodded with satisfaction:
"You're right, Uga."

"It is very important to understand the target's habits, behavior and other information, because only by mastering the target's information can we choose a suitable ambush location."

"Footprints, scratches on tree bark, droppings and food scraps are all clues we can use."

With that said, Grox changed the subject:
"But don't forget, there is another crucial thing that every hunter must have."

"That's patience!"

"Only the most patient hunter can drink the sweetest blood!"

The ringed snow leopard is tall and has pure white fur, except for a black ring around its neck.

When moving, it can easily blend into the surrounding environment and navigate in the ice and snow with ease.

Their long and powerful limbs enable them to quickly shuttle between steep snowy mountains and rocks.

Their sharp and curved claws are extremely important tools for climbing and hunting.

Hidden within the graceful and strong body of the Snow Leopard are tough and flexible muscle tissues.

These powerful muscles provide them with excellent explosive power and speed, allowing them to shuttle over ice and snow extremely quickly.

However, despite the strength of the ringed snow leopards, they are only a species that can only be found among the small mountains in the eastern part of the Snowy Mountains.

Unable to control the elements and relying solely on their own physical strength to act ferociously, they, like their relatives in the south, the wild leopards, will never be able to become predators at the top of the food chain.

Of course, it is quite appropriate to use it as a "first hunting" target for the little trolls.

After finding the mountain stream that had been discovered by the hunting team earlier and with obvious traces of snow leopard activity, the nine little trolls, led by Grox, hid behind a hillside to the west of the stream.

Here you can easily observe the creek.

The sun gradually went down.

The whole sky began to become gray.

But the trolls, big and small, were unmoved.

For the "Da Bang Clan" living in the Snowy Mountains, the brief sunshine before was already a generous gift from the gods.

In the recent winter, it was normal for trolls to go without the sun for several days.

Another gust of ruthless cold wind blew by.

dong dong dong-

Grox, who was crawling at the front of the team, suddenly raised his left hand and tapped four times on the exposed gray rock beneath him.

The next second, he felt the snoring of the little trolls behind him getting significantly heavier.

The momentum mixed together sounded like a giant beast swallowing clouds and spitting mist.

Grox grinned.

I recall the same excitement when I found prey on my "first hunt".

dong dong dong dong dong-

The knocking sounds from behind sounded one after another.

However, you can still hear the sequence of the first three people knocking, but later they are completely mixed together.

Grox did not criticize these little trolls.

There will be plenty of opportunities to practice these codes and techniques in actual combat in the future. For now, as long as he can symbolically complete the process, he has reached the standard in his mind.

Adult trolls have to train and practice things many times before they can do it. There is no need to ask children to do it perfectly the first time.

After the command response was completed, Grox made a gesture, and the little trolls who had been impatient for a long time gathered around him.

Ten pairs of eyes looked at the creek below——

At this moment, beside the gurgling stream, three figures of snow leopards suddenly appeared!

They looked around cautiously, lowered their heads to drink some water, and then raised their heads again.

Wujia watched the ringed snow leopards drinking water, feeling a little surprised.

Although they are not small in size, their bodies blend perfectly with the surrounding snow.

If Grox hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have even noticed that there were so many beasts drinking water.

The black ring around the snow leopard's neck did not expose them as easily as Uga originally thought -

At this distance, the black ring looked more like a branch floating in the stream.

Of course, Uga is not that concerned about the wonders of biological structure.

He was just passing the time with this observation while waiting for Grox's orders.

Time passed minute by minute.

Uga's heart became more and more impatient.

He stared back and forth at Grox, who was leading the team, trying to attract the attention of this famous warrior in the clan in this way, so that the other party would realize his anxiety.

Grox had naturally noticed the scorching eyes of the little trolls around him.

However, he remained unmoved.

Still waiting quietly in place.

After some time, the sky became darker.

Uga could no longer bear it any longer.

The child's stone stick in his right hand was rubbed repeatedly on the rock, making a "sizzling" sound.

Grox still had no intention of leading everyone to charge.

Uga glanced at Grox, who was lying motionless like a sculpture, and wondered if he was asleep.

Then, the young troll looked at the three ringed snow leopards who seemed to have finished drinking water and were about to leave at the creek. He looked away and looked at his companions beside him.

Both of them saw the restlessness in each other's eyes.

Time waits for us not to hesitate any longer!
Uga's eyes became firm.

He imitated the plot of the story "The Bear Hunter" which has become very popular among the children of the clan recently. He raised the stone club in his right hand high and then shouted loudly:
"kill!"

"The gods have raised me to this day, and I only wish to repay the gods with my blood!"

Suddenly, it was like thunder on the ground.

The nine little trolls picked up the stone sticks, shouted and rushed down the hillside with astonishing momentum, and attacked the Snow Leopard.

As the footsteps alternated, there was movement that was hard to ignore.

According to Uga's idea, the next script should be that he is invincible with a big stick and solves the battle easily.After all, although he is not a "combat team member" in "Bear Hunter", the Snow Leopard is not a Snowstorm Bear either.

With the strength of his troll Uga, he can definitely handle beasts that don't have special abilities such as ice and snow manipulation like the snowstorm bear.

However, to his expectation, those snow leopards who were supposed to be "at a disadvantage" did not seem to be timid at all.

Roar--

They opened their fishy mouths full of sharp teeth, faced the charging troll, and let out a threatening roar.

When Uga saw this, he suddenly felt that he had been underestimated.

When he was less than two meters away from the enemy, he suddenly jumped forward. The stone stick in his right hand broke through the air quickly, and he aimed straight at the ringed snow leopard on the far right.

Unexpectedly, in the lightning flash, the ringed snow leopard actually reacted.

It jumped to the left to avoid Uga's surprise attack. After landing, it moved towards Uga like a white whirlwind!

At this critical moment of life-and-death struggle, the troll's blood in Uga's body surged crazily.

Facing the enlarging white figure in his sight, Uga's vertical pupils shrank and narrowed due to extreme tension, becoming as cruel and evil as his fathers.

Power exploded in his muscular limbs.

He opened his mouth wide and vented his ferocity wantonly:
"what!--"

"Death by my stick!"

"Weak maggot!"

The stone rod in his hand was activated several times faster than before, turning into a gray shadow.

boom--

Accompanied by an explosive collision.

The flying stone stick actually hit the ringed snow leopard's head!
click-

The child's stone stick is covered with small cracks, and stone chips can be faintly seen falling down.

But Uga had no time to care about the damage on his beloved stick, but stared at the figure flying upside down in mid-air.

boom--

The Huanxuebao's body hit the ground hard, making a crisp falling sound.

Seeing the prey twitching helplessly on the ground and bleeding profusely, Uga picked up the stone stick and stepped forward excitedly.

boom--

Almost at the same time, he heard a blow coming from his left side.

I think it was my companions who got into trouble with other ringed snow leopards.

However, all Uga could see at this moment was the snow leopard's body, whose snow-white fur was stained red with blood, and which looked strangely incomplete and beautiful.

He approached the dying prey, found the correct location, and raised the stone rod slightly.

Then, smash it down hard!
call--

The flying stone rod drew a shadow in the air, scattering more stone fragments as if it was overwhelmed, but it still faithfully completed its master's task.

puff-

The ringed snow leopard's head was completely shattered, and the red and white liquid left shocking traces on the snow.

"hahahahahahahahaha!"

Uga stroked his stone rod, which was soaked in scarlet blood and penetrated into the cracks. For some reason, he couldn't help laughing loudly.

He felt more comfortable than ever at this moment.

The shadow of the ignorant past is broken.

At only six years old, he suddenly understood——

Trolls don't like hunting.

Trolls, it’s all about hunting!
kill kill kill!

blood blood blood!

He squatted down and, guided by his excited nerves, dipped his rough fingers into the blood on the ground.

The destined rectangle was drawn.

Completed his "first hunt".

"Roar--"

"Roar--"

Suddenly, sounds came one after another around him, breaking the small world he was immersed in.

Uga looked up and realized that the surroundings were surrounded by snow leopards that were approaching the little trolls.

At a rough count, there are at least thirty!

Look at the little trolls again.

The other two original ringed snow leopards also died under the siege of the little trolls.

The two dead leopard carcasses lay not far from Uga's side.

But at this moment, the little trolls stained with the blood of the Snow Leopard are the ones at an absolute disadvantage.

What they have to face is the snow leopards approaching in groups with undisguised fierceness in their eyes!

They are well-trained trackers and warriors, and will never let go of the little trolls with a blood feud.

Uga took a sharp breath and walked directly in front of his companions.

He looked at the rows of sharp claws surrounding the snow leopard, and his heart skipped a beat.

But he had to.

Because he was the one who led everyone down together.

He should be the first to end everything!
Lifting the broken stone stick in his hand, Uga was about to lead his companions to charge again.

Sudden.

There was a subtle sound in the air.

It's like someone is plucking the strings.

Shine——

The sound is getting clearer.

For some unknown reason, the leopard group fell into an inexplicable commotion.

The leading ringed snow leopard even growled uneasily.

Uga didn't like the sound of the human harp.

But his face showed excitement at this time.

Shiny——

The sound was extremely close, and specious shadows appeared in the air.

The leading Snow Leopard seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly roared, leading the other Snow Leopards to put aside their blood feud and flee quickly.

However, it's too late.

The shadows of hundreds of stone sticks suddenly appeared in the sky.

They fell suddenly in a daze.

puff-

puff-

puff-

Before the snow leopards who wanted to escape could even move their limbs, they were hit by the chaotic shadows of sticks falling from the sky.

The head exploded like full water balls.

The sounds came and went.

The little trolls were fascinated and couldn't take their eyes away.

When all the dust settled and the ground was covered with headless bodies of snow leopards, Grox's figure appeared in the cold wind.

His rather unhappy voice also came:
"I've told you a long time ago that the ringed snow leopard, like the wild leopard, is a social creature."

"There are so many snow leopard footprints next to the creek. When you see three leopards, you rush out."

"Are you just rushing to return to your loving father's kingdom of God?"

The little trolls didn't dare to answer.

Their first hunt was over.
