Chapter 41 Black Wind
Shao Xuan saw this little wild beast called a combo for the first time. It was not much bigger than the palm of an adult. The gray fur was mixed with some brown stripes, and the furry round head was black and big. When he looked at people, his eyes were particularly innocent. The ears on both sides pressed down slightly, squatted on a ten-meter-high branch, holding the trunk, and drooping his head to look at the person below.
"Stop looking, that little thing is not delicious." Lang Ga said to Shao Xuan in a low voice. They were resting here and did not prohibit talking, but they just kept their voices down when they talked.
Generally speaking, the warriors of the tribe are not very picky about the taste of food, and they will eat it if they have bad taste, as long as they can replenish energy. However, if you can get a "not delicious" evaluation, it will not only be a bad problem, but may also have other effects on bad health.
"Aren't they afraid of people?" Shao Xuan asked in a low voice.
"Many wild beasts actually acted not as afraid when they first met a person, but curious, but if you showed a little murderous intent, it would be different." As he said that, Lang Ga raised the ground bow with his arrows and pointed it at the combo on the tree.
The combo, who looked very innocent and docile just now, suddenly had a fierce look. His mouth had not been opened before, but now it was so big that Shao Xuan could see the sharp teeth in its mouth.
Langga did not shoot at the combo on the tree, but lowered his hand and stopped looking at it.
"The meat is not delicious, and it's so bad." Lang Ga said, then went over and continued to put on his ground bow, checking if there were any damage.
When Lang Ga left, the combo on the tree returned to its original appearance.
A flying insect with a finger flew over, flapping its wings, and a layer of fine scales attached to the surface of the body, reflecting the sunlight, flashing, and sometimes at this position, and the next moment, appearing in another place. They fly extremely fast in the air and can move their positions in an instant.
Swish!
The combo holding the tree waved his arms, as if he had already figured out where the flying insect was about to fly in the next moment, and stretched out his claws to face it.
In the blink of an eye, the flying insect was already trapped between the claws of the combed trees.
Shao Xuan saw the combo twisting the flying insect, breaking its wings, and then eating the flying insect in one go, chewing it, staring at Shao Xuan under the tree while chewing it.
When the croaker was left with only one tail left, the croaker stopped gnawing, looked at the wreckage on the claws, then looked at Shao Xuan under the tree, and then threw it at Shao Xuan.
Seeing the insect remains that were quickly throwing towards him, Shao Xuan flashed and moved a little half a step, just avoiding him.
“Organization!”
The combo on the tree yelled.
Shao Xuan thought that the combo was dissatisfied because he had avoided it just now, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the combo not far away. He looked at the combo on the tree and had already run away somewhere else, as if he was avoiding something.
Ang went to the opposite direction of the crocodile escape, climbed up a tree flexibly, and behind him, he carried five short spears half shorter than usual spears for javelins.
The rest of the hunting team were quiet and their breathing slowed down. If it weren't for the naked eye, it would be hard to imagine that there would be so many people here.
Ang seemed to see something, and quietly pulled out a short spear quickly and was about to shoot, but the moment before the shot was thrown, he stopped again and made a gesture toward this side.
Mai thought for a while and waved to Ang to come back.
Ang looked regretful and returned to the team after getting down from the tree. At the same time, the hunting team members hid through the raised stones and trees. Shao Xuan naturally followed suit.
After two breaths, Shao Xuan saw something that looked like a fox jump out of the bushes, looked around, and then ran away in one direction.
Lang Ga signaled Shao Xuan to continue waiting.
After a while, Shao Xuan heard a silence, which was the sound of a creature walking and rubbing against the branches.
A creature about seven meters tall slowly appeared, with brown fur, thick limbs, and a thick and powerful tail behind it. It looks a bit ferocious, but looking at its slow moving its heavy body, it feels a bit stupid and lazy.
The nose sniffed, and it walked to the next few trees, stood its hind limbs, and its strong tail was behind it, forming a three-legged tripod with its feet. After standing, the front paws revealed the sickle-like pointed claws that were folded into the bend of the arms, hooked over the trees in front of it, and easily cut the branches and leaves off the tree like cutting wheat.
This is an animal with leaves as its staple food, but seeing Mai and the others acting like this, Shao Xuan also knew that this big guy was not easy to deal with. Looking back at the hunting stories I had heard before, it corresponds to the big guy in front of him, this should be a giant claw beast. Such a giant claw beast is already very big in Shao Xuan's opinion, but in fact, this big claw beast is actually underage and an adult big claw beast is even bigger.
Moreover, the giant claw beasts just look bulky and lazy. When they encounter threats, their reactions are not slow. The giant claws can easily uproot the big tree.
In fact, the giant claw beast is also on the hunting list of the hunting team, but Mai is not hunting now.
Those trees were not big, and the giant clawed beast soon ate almost the leaves on the tree. The rest of it lost interest and continued to look lazy, with limbs falling to the ground, moving its heavy body away.
After it left, Mai took his people to continue up the mountain.
When walking up the mountain, Langga checked several traps set up before, and there were a few poor guys inside. They didn't fall into the trap for a long time and were still alive. They were dragged out by the hunting team to solve the problem.
The trap is not big, so all you catch is the smaller prey.
While repairing the device in the trap, Lang Ga taught Shao Xuan the experience.
Pointing to several soldiers who were dealing with their prey, Lang Ga said to Shao Xuan: "After catching the prey, you must first check whether they are sick. For example, the one I caught just now has changed its eyes, bald hair on the body, and the blood from cutting the flesh is filled with a strange smell. Even if the prey is still alive, it probably won't live long. If we eat it, we will probably have the same result as it."
The person responsible for handling the prey has skillfully peeled the prey, removed the internal organs and fragments, broken them into strips and packed them, and some grass juice was also applied to the bag, probably to cover the smell.
Mai led the team and was devoted to climbing mountains, so many large beasts he encountered did not hunt them.
The environment on the top of the mountain is not as gentle as below. The snow peaks are shining in the sun. Looking around, you can clearly see the large basin on the other side of the mountain.
Finally, before the sun sets, the hunting team climbed over the mountain and reached a cave on the hillside. This is a stronghold for the hunting team, and the hunting team will spend the night here tonight.
It is natural to spend the night in a cave.
After a tense journey, I was finally able to rest, and the soldiers' emotions were relaxed a little.
"There used to be a cave bear living in this cave. Later, our team hunted the cave bear and snatched the place." Langga and Shao Xuan talked about the origin of the cave.
"By the way, Langga, what trouble did Ah Fei cause during the last hunt?" Shao Xuan asked.
Lang Ga, who was telling his brilliant deeds, suddenly disappeared, sighed, and leaned closer to Shao Xuan and complained in a low voice: "You said that guy is not good at provoking that guy, but he just wants to get into the thorny wind!"
Black Wind does not refer to a certain type of wild beast, but a general term for tribes who like to lurk in the throne, so when it comes to it, they usually call it "XX Black Wind", and Thorns are one of them.
After the sun sets, the temperature begins to drop. The entrance of the cave is blocked by huge rocks. The cold wind pours into the gap, but there are many people in the cave, which is quite warm. If you look outside the cave at this moment, Shao Xuan can still see two crescent moons gradually revealing in the night sky.
Lang Ga and the others said that the weather will definitely be good tomorrow.
Outside the cave, in the quiet 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 surface was rippled, and a huge body quietly emerged from the water surface and crawled out of the pool. Several nocturnal animals who were originally drinking water outside the pool had already escaped as if they were running away.
