Original War

Chapter 42

It was the first time that Shao Xuan saw this small beast called a coon. It was not much bigger than the palm of an adult. The gray fur was interspersed with some brown stripes. The round hairy head had black eyes. When looking at people His eyes were particularly innocent, the ears on both sides were slightly pressed down, and he squatted on the ten-meter-high branch, hugged the trunk, and looked down at the people below.

“Don’t look at it, that gadget is not delicious.” Lang Ga said to Shao Xuan in a low voice. They are here to take a break, and they are not prohibited from talking, but they only keep their voices low.

Generally speaking, the warriors of the tribe are not very picky about the taste of food, and they will eat the bad taste, as long as they can replenish energy. But to get a “not tasty” evaluation, it is not just a problem of unpalatable, there may be other bad effects on the body.

“Aren’t they afraid of people?” Shao Xuan asked in a low voice.

“Many beasts actually acted not afraid, but curious when they saw people for the first time, but if you showed a bit of killing intent, it would be different.” Lang Ga raised the bow with the arrow installed. Up, facing the coon on the tree.

The coon, who looked particularly innocent and docile and harmless just now, suddenly eyes reveal a fierce light. The mouth that hadn’t been opened before, but now it is so open, Shao Xuan can see the fangs in his mouth.

Lang Ga did not shoot at the coon on the tree, but dropped his hand and no longer aimed at it.

“Less meat is not tasty, and it’s unpleasant to hear.” Lang Ga went over and continued to pretend his bow, to check if it was damaged.

When Lang Ga left, the coon on the tree returned to its original appearance.

A finger-long flying insect flew over, flapping its wings, and attached a layer of fine scales, reflecting the sunlight, flickering and flickering. After a while in this position, The next moment appeared in another place, and they flew in the air. Very fast, you can move the position in an instant.

Huh!

The coon holding the tree waved his arm, as if he had predicted the position where the flying insect would fly in the next instant.

In the blink of an eye, the flying insect was already trapped between the palms of the coon.

Shao Xuan saw that the coon twisted the flying insect, snapped its wings, and ate the flying insect in one bite like gnawing fried dough sticks, chewing and staring at Shao Xuan under the tree.

When there was only one tail left, the coron stopped chewing. He looked at the remains on his claws, looked at Shao Xuan under the tree, and threw it towards Shao Xuan.

Perceiving the insect remains quickly thrown towards him, Shao Xuan flashed away and moved a half step, just to avoid it.

“Why!”

The coon on the tree cried.

Shao Xuan thought that because he had avoided it just now, he was dissatisfied with that coon, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the movement not far away, and then looked at the coon on the tree. He had already ran away and seemed to be hiding. what.

Ang walked in the opposite direction from which the coon fled, and flexibly climbed a tree. Behind him, he carried five short spears half shorter than the usual ones for javelin use.

The rest of the hunting team calmed down and their breathing slowed down. If it weren’t for the naked eye, it would be hard to think that there would be so many people here.

Ang seemed to see something, and quietly drew out a short spear quickly and was about to project it, but just before it was thrown, he stopped again and made a gesture toward this side.

Mai thought for a while and beckoned Ang to come back.

With regret on his face, Ang returned to the team after getting off the tree. At the same time, the hunting team concealed themselves with raised stones and trees. Shao Xuan naturally followed suit.

After two breaths, Shao Xuan saw a fox-looking thing jumping out of the bushes, looked around, and then ran away in one direction.

Lang Ga motioned to Shao Xuan to continue waiting.

After a while, Shao Xuan heard a slurping sound, which was the sound of creatures walking and rubbing against branches.

A creature about seven meters tall appeared slowly, with brown fur, sturdy limbs, and a thick and powerful tail behind it. It looks a bit fierce, but seeing it slowly moving and heavy body, it feels a bit stupid and lazy.

Sniffing the nose, it walked to a few trees and stood on its hind limbs. The strong tail was behind it, forming a three-legged appearance with its feet. After standing, it showed a sickle-like shape folded into the arms. The sharp claws hooked the trees in front of them, and cut the branches and leaves from the trees easily like cutting wheat.

This is an animal whose main food is leaves, but seeing Mai and the others behave like this, Shao Xuan also knows that this big guy is not easy to deal with. Recalling the hunting stories I heard before, corresponding to the big guy in front of me, this should be the giant claw beast. Such a giant claw beast seemed to Shao Xuan to be very big, but in fact, this one was actually underage, and the adult giant claw beast was even bigger.

Moreover, the giant claws just looked cumbersome and lazy. When confronted with threats, their reaction was not slow. The giant claws could easily uproot the tree.

In fact, the giant claw beast is also on the hunting list of the hunting team, but Mai does not let anyone hunt it now.

The trees were not big, the giant claw beast quickly ate almost the leaves on the tree, and the rest of it lost interest, and continued to look lazy, landing on all fours, stepping, and moving. The heavy body left.

After it left, Mai took the people to continue up the mountain.

As he walked up the mountain, Lang Ga checked several traps that had been set before. There were a few poor guys in them. They didn’t fall into the traps for a long time. They were still alive and were dragged out by the hunting team to solve them.

The trap is not big, so only small prey is caught.

Lang Ga repaired the device in the trap while imparting experience to Shao Xuan.

Pointing to the soldiers who were dealing with the prey, Lang Ga said to Shao Xuan: “After catching the prey, you must first check if they are sick. Like the one you caught just now, the eyes have changed color and the body is bald. The blood shed from the cut meat has a strange smell. Even if the prey is still alive, it probably won’t live long. If we ate it, it might be the same result.”

The person in charge of handling the prey over there has peeled the prey neatly, took out the viscera and offal, broke it into pieces and put it in pieces, and smeared some grass juice on the bag, probably to mask the smell.

Mai led the team, thinking over the mountains, so many large beasts he encountered did not hunt.

The environment on the top of the mountain is not as gentle as below. The snow peak is shining in the sun, and you can clearly see the large basin on the other side of the mountain.

Finally before the sun set, the hunting team climbed over the mountain and reached a hole on the mountainside. This is a stronghold of the hunting team here, and the hunting team will stay overnight here tonight.

There is a cave to spend the night, which is naturally easier.

After a tense rush, they were finally able to rest, and the soldiers’ emotions also relaxed a little.

“This cave used to live with a cave bear, and then our team hunted that cave bear and grabbed the place.” Lang Ga told Shao Xuan about the origin of the cave.

“By the way, Lang Ga, what trouble did A Fei cause during the last hunt?” Shao Xuan asked.

The smile on Lang Ga’s face, who was telling his glorious deeds, suddenly disappeared, sighed, and whispered to Shao Xuan as he approached and whispered: “What do you think that bastard has provoke, but he is going to get into the thorny black wind!”

The black wind does not refer to a certain kind of beast, but the tribal people’s general term for those who like to lurch, so it is usually called “XX black wind” when speaking, and the thorns are one of them.

After the sun went down, the temperature began to drop, the cave entrance was blocked by huge rocks, and the cold wind poured in from the cracks, but the cave was lit with a fire, and there were many people, and it was still warm. If he looked outside the cave at this moment, Shao Xuan could still see the two crescent moons gradually revealed in the night sky.

Lang Ga said that tomorrow’s weather must be good.

Outside the cave, in the silent mountains and forests in the dark night, in the seemingly calm basin, nocturnal beasts began to become active.

In a small pool at the foot of the mountain, the calm water was turbulent, and a huge body quietly emerged from the water and crawled out of the pool. The few nocturnal creatures that had been drinking outside the pool had already escaped for their lives.

The giant beast was not in a hurry to chase the small prey, but stood by the water pool, waiting for the water droplets on its body to fall and dry, and the moonlight could not reflect any light on it. At this time, the giant beast moved around, and its huge body quickly melted into the night.
