Among the people who came, the person who led the lead was named Ba, who was about the same age as Mai, and he was a person like the second-in-commander of the hunting team next door. He had a say in that hunting team and had good strength. Among the five people who came, Ba was the lightest injured.
"You guys lost people?" Mai asked in surprise. The hunting had just begun and disappeared, obviously something was abnormal.
"I lost three. When we were resting at the first base, the three of them went to fetch water, and then they never came back." The voice was difficult when they spoke. Obviously, this incident had a great blow to their hunting team. It would be fine if something happened during the hunting, but they disappeared for no reason and could not even find the body. They were unwilling to give up.
"The place where the water is collected is also on the mountain. It is not too far from the cave, and there are no dangerous beasts. However, until the evening, I didn't see their people. Ah Cheng took people to search, but it was not found. He only found some traces near the water collection, but it was not enough to find people. After that, we waited for a long time and everyone searched everywhere, but still couldn't find them. However, we encountered a lot of this thing when we were looking for people."
Ba rubbed his tired face and pointed at the bats on the ground. "They took the initiative to attack the hunting team, and during the day, there were more than a dozen people, which injured several of our team. Ah Cheng asked me to bring people over to ask you for help, but I didn't expect that these things had already flown here."
Shao Xuan listened to his words and noticed something was wrong with Caesar next to him. Looking at its wound, it did not worsen. The color of the blood was still healthy, but it looked very sleepy.
"Is it bitten?" said Ba. "When you are bitten by those things, you will lose all your body, but you won't die. Give it some food."
Ba handed Shao Xuan a tree root-shaped thing. After learning herbs for so long, Shao Xuan naturally understood it. This kind of tree root can refresh the spirit and relieve some anesthetic poisons. However, it is difficult to find in the hunting ground. Moreover, Ba and the others were not optimistic about Caesar before the hunting trip, and they also laughed at Mai's behavior of allowing Caesar to accompany the team. Now Ba is willing to take it out just like this.
Seeing that Mai, Langga and others also saw it, Ba said helplessly: "I have to count on it to help find someone."
That's true.
I made you laugh before, but now you need help to find it back? Lang Ga and the others really want to show off. But when they think of what happened, they feel heavy again.
They disappeared for no reason, and they couldn't even find humans. It sounded cold. They were not afraid of fighting with ferocious beasts, but they always had a sense of uneasiness about unknown things.
"What did Ah Cheng say?" Mai asked.
"A Cheng said that the person who fetched the water might be bitten by those things and could not resist, and might be dragged away by those things. However, there were no traces and it was difficult to find people." Ba looked at Caesar, who was gradually becoming energetic. "I hope it works."
Shao Xuan checked Caesar's wounds and after confirming that there was no problem, he focused on the two dead bats.
The bats had a strong anesthesia effect in their saliva. Shao Xuan pried open their mouths with a stone knife and found that their upper incisor teeth were much larger than other molars, and the canine teeth were even more like knives and extremely sharp. The bite on Caesar's body was the credit for these teeth.
A creature with such teeth obviously eats flesh and blood.
In addition, this bat has sharp claws and strong hind limbs. It also has a pair of very large eyes.
"How is it? Can you get over now?" The slaughter was a little anxious. The longer the delay, the harder it was to find someone. He still didn't know what was going on with the hunting team.
Mai looked at Shao Xuan and saw that Shao Xuan nodded, indicating that Caesar had recovered, so he said, "Okay, let's go."
The hunting team first went back to the cave and brought some more stone tools to be on guard.
Ba took them and did not walk from the mountain. Although the mountain was relatively less dangerous, it required a long way to go. They were in a hurry and had to arrive as soon as possible, so they directly chose the shortest route.
On the way, they encountered several such big bats, and everyone joined forces to kill them.
"Be careful, scratching is fine, the important thing is the bite. I don't have enough medicine on my hand." Ba reminded.
"There are much less prey in the hunting ground. The big-horned deer and giant cattle herds left their original place and ran farther, and even the ferocious beasts came out less... These are things I have never encountered before."
When you hear this, you will know that it is not a good sign.
If there is less prey, it may be captured by other predators; the herds of big horned deer and giant cattle migrate at this time, probably to avoid this dangerous place. However, even the beasts are less coming out, so what will even be afraid of?
"It's indeed not a good thing." Lang Ga and the others whispered. When they saw the big bats, they had a bad premonition, and now they are even more certain.
As she was walking, Shao Xuan suddenly heard some extremely sharp chirping sounds, which came like sound waves. However, looking at Lang Ga and others next to him, there was no reaction and it seemed that he did not hear it.
The hair on Caesar's back stood up again, staring at the sky with vigilance.
The Ba, who was walking in front and several intermediate totem warriors such as Mai, suddenly stopped.
Mai made a gesture to the others, signaling everyone to be quiet and keep a high alert, while he listened carefully.
"Is it them?" Mai said in a low voice.
"Yes." Ba nodded, "But their target is not us now, they should have discovered other prey."
"Mai, have you heard anything? Why didn't I hear anything?" Langga asked.
"You are not capable enough." Mai said as he listened carefully, then pointed in a direction, and said, "Go up the tree! Be careful to hide and see the situation first."
Since Caesar could not climb trees, Shao Xuan let it hide in the grass.
He climbed up a big tree next to him flexibly until the height was enough to see somewhere not far away, and Shao Xuan found a thick fork branch with dense leaves to hide it.
Looking up, a combo stood on a branch diagonally above. At this moment, the combo was tight and his hair was blowing up. His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were filled with fear. Such defense and fear were not directed at Shao Xuan, but those approaching creatures in the sky. However, as soon as it was alert, Shao Xuan jumped up suddenly, scared it, and almost fell from the branch.
The combo stared at Shao Xuan with round eyes for a while, and confirmed that Shao Xuan was not threatening for the time being, so he bared at Shao Xuan. Some kind of arthropod that had not been eaten in his claws was thrown hard at Shao Xuan, as if it was so angry that Shao Xuan was scared.
Shao Xuan's head side avoided the half of the insect that was thrown.
The insect hit the tree trunk directly, but the splashed green liquid flew a few drops on Shao Xuan's face.
Shao Xuan wiped off the insect liquid on his face expressionlessly, and cursed in his heart: This little coon really has a bad temper.
However, Shao Xuan would not be angry with it for this matter.
Suddenly, the crocodile twisted its head and looked in one direction.
That side is where Mai just pointed out.
Like others, Shao Xuan hid in the branches and looked through the gaps between the leaves through the gaps.
The surroundings were quiet, but there was a sense of fear.
On a piece of grass not far ahead, four teeth deer standing there, facing four directions, with their ears upright and their eyes alert.
call--
Black shadows flashed in the sky and landed on the grass.
There were more than one bat, and there were eleven landed bats, which surrounded four teeth deer in the middle.
For most bats, when they are on the ground, their movements are very difficult. Even if they can move, they are very slow. However, after the bats land, their wings are folded, leaving behind a pair of powerful long legs and forearms.
Any of these eleven bats is bigger than the one hunted by wheat.
After eleven bats landed near the dental deer, they ran quickly and rushed towards the dental deer.
The denta wanted to jump out of this encirclement, but just as he jumped up, he bumped into the big bat that also jumped.
A large bat was knocked out several meters away, rolled in the grassy mountain, got up again, and continued to attack the dental deer. The sharp teeth were like razors, biting off a piece of skin of the dental deer.
Blood began to spread.
The bitten teeth were moving more and more slowly. They couldn't escape at the beginning, but now it's even more impossible.
All four teeth were bitten, and one of them had already started to have weak legs.
Instead of taking this opportunity to continue biting, the bats waited patiently.
After the last tooth deer finally fell to the ground, they did not immediately start to enjoy the delicious meal. Instead, they worked together to grab the tooth deer that had no ability to move, spread their wings, and fly away.
After the bats left, the hunting team gathered under the tree, and each of them had a bad expression on their faces.
"They didn't seem to want to eat their prey immediately," Mai said.
Bat had a gloomy face, "So Ah Cheng said that he would find the missing person as soon as possible, at least after seeing those things, as long as he was not eaten immediately, the missing person might still be alive."
"They seem to be stocking up food, but winter is over," said an older soldier on the team. "So, who do they grab this food?"
There was a silence in the team.
"Let's find the missing person first." sighed.
Chai took Mai and his group to the first stronghold of their hunting team. When he met with the leader of the hunting team, Acheng was applying medicine to people.
"What's going on? I've been attacked again?" Bad took a few quick steps to see the situation of the injured.
"Fortunately, there is no one too heavy." Ah Cheng stood up and greeted Mai, and a smile finally appeared on his sad face, "You are finally here."
Ah Cheng glanced around and fell on Caesar who was standing beside Shao Xuan, "I didn't expect that I really have to rely on it this time."
While the two team leaders were communicating information, Shao Xuan observed the situation inside the cave.
The soldiers of the hunting team who were still energetic when they set out were now all weak, probably because of the inexplicable disappearance of their companions and the possible major crisis.
Everyone has injuries on their bodies, but fortunately, most of them are scratches and fewer bites are bitten.
"What should be thankful most is that I didn't bring those kids here this time. Otherwise..." Ah Cheng didn't say anything more.
If there are young soldiers who have newly awakened this year in the team, they will definitely be the ones who are attacked the most. Just like Shao Xuan last year, the young soldiers who have newly awakened do not have much hunting experience. If one is bad, they will die.
"A Xuan, it's up to you and Caesar next." Cheng said. (A good activity of falling pie from the sky, a cool phone is waiting for you to get it!
