Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 42: Black Wind
For the first time, Shao Xuan saw this little beast called a raccoon. It was much bigger than the slap of an adult. There were some brown stripes in the gray fur. The eyes were black and big on the furry round head. The eyes were particularly innocent when looking at people. The ears on both sides were slightly depressed. He squatted on the branches 10 meters high, held the trunk of the tree and looked down at the people below.
“Don't look, it's not good.” Langa lowered his voice to Shao Xuan. They are resting here, not forbidden to speak, just that the conversation is silent.
Generally speaking, tribal warriors are not too selective about the taste of food and eat it if it tastes bad, as long as it replenishes the energy. But getting a "bad taste” rating is not just a bad problem, there may be other bad effects on your health.
“Aren't they afraid of people?” Shao Xuan asked quietly.
“A lot of beasts actually behave not in fear, but in curiosity, when they first see people, but if you show a little homicide, it's different.” Langa lifted the arrow-mounted bow against the tree raccoon.
A particularly innocent tree that appeared to be smooth and harmless just now showed its fierce light. It had not opened its mouth before. It is now open to the boss, Shao Xuan can see the sharp teeth in its mouth.
Instead of shooting at the tree raccoon, Langa dropped her hand and stopped pointing at it.
“The meat is not good enough, and the barking is awful.” Langa said a few words and went on to mount his bow and check for damage.
When Langa left, the tree raccoon regained its original appearance.
A flying insect with a long finger flies in, fans its wings, and the body surface attaches a fine layer of scales, reflecting the sun, flashing blindly, in this position for a moment, and in another place for the next moment, they fly extremely fast in the air and can move in a flash.
Whoa!
The raccoon holding the tree waved his arm and seemed to have predicted where the flying insect was going to fly for the next moment, sticking out his claws and pointing them there was a claw.
Blink, the flying bug is already caged between the claws of a raccoon.
Shao Xuan only saw that the raccoon twisted the flying insect, broke its wings, and then, like a stick of oil, snapped and ate the flying insect, chewing while staring at Shao Xuan under the tree.
When there was only one tail left to eat, the raccoon stopped eating, looked at the wreckage on his paw, looked at Shao Xuan under the tree, and threw it at Shao Xuan.
Detecting the insect wreckage quickly thrown by the face, Shao Xuan slipped away and took a small step to avoid it.
“ ! ”
Tree raccoons wake up.
Shao Xuan thought that because he had just avoided, he was dissatisfied with the tree raccoon, but Yu Guang glanced not far away and looked at the tree raccoon, he had already gone elsewhere, like he was avoiding something.
Ang passed in the opposite direction of the raccoon's escape, flexibly climbing a tree behind him, carrying five short spears half shorter than the usual spears, for marksmanship.
The rest of the hunting team calmed down and breathed slowly. If it wasn't for the naked eye, it would be hard to imagine that so many people would still be here.
Ang seemed to see something, quietly and quickly pulled out a short spear, was about to project, and the moment before he threw it, he paused again and made a gesture towards this side.
Mac thought about it and waved his hand back.
Unfortunately, go down the tree and come back to the team. Meanwhile, hunting team members hide through raised stones and trees. Shao Xuan naturally followed suit.
After two breaths, Shao Xuan saw something very much like a fox jump out of the bush, looked around, and ran away in one direction.
Langa suggested Shao Xuan continue to wait.
A little while later, Shao Xuan heard the sound of the clamor, the sound of living beings walking and rubbing against the branches.
A creature about seven metres tall appeared slowly, brown fur, thick limbs, and a strong tail dragged behind it. The face is a little vicious, but watching it move slowly through its heavy body is a bit of a lazy feeling.
The nose sniffed, it walked to several trees, the rear limb stood, the strong tail reaching behind it, forming a tripod with the feet, while the front paw stood, revealing a sickle-like sharp paw that folded into the arms, hooked through several trees in front of it, and cut off the branches and leaves from the tree as easily as a cut of wheat.
This is a leaf-fed animal, but seeing as they do, Shao Xuan also knows that this big guy is not easy to deal with. Think back to the hunting stories you've heard before, corresponding to the big guy in front of you, which should be the giant claw beast. Such a giant claw beast is already very large in Shao Xuan's view, but in fact, this one is still young, and the adult giant claw beast is even bigger.
Moreover, giant claw beasts just look clumsy and lazy. When threatened, their response is not slow, and the giant claw can easily uproot the tree.
In fact, giant claw beasts are also on the hunting list of the hunting team, except Mac is not being hunted right now.
Those trees were not large. The giant claw beast soon ate the leaves on the tree almost as much. The rest of it lost interest and continued to look lazy, falling on all limbs, walking on foot and moving the heavy body away.
When it leaves, Mike takes people up the mountain.
While walking up the hill, Langa checked several traps previously set, and there were a few poor guys, who fell into the trap for a short time, still alive, and were dragged out of the hunting team to solve it.
The trap is not big, so only smaller sized prey is caught.
Langa teaches Shao Xuan experience while fixing the device in the trap.
pointing to a few fighters who were handling their prey, Langa said to Shao Xuando: "Once you've caught the prey, you have to check them for illness first. Like the one we just caught, the eyes changed color, the hair on them, the blood that cut the flesh was smelling weird, even if the prey was still alive, it probably wouldn't live long, we ate it, and it's probably the same result. ”
The person in charge of the prey had skinned the prey, ripped it out of its guts and debris, broken it down into pieces and put some grass juice on the bag, presumably covering the smell.
Mac leads the team and thinks a lot, so a lot of the big beasts he meets don't go hunting.
The environment at the top of the mountain is less mild than below, and the snow peaks gleam in the sun and look out for a clear view of the vast basins across the mountain.
Finally, before the sun set, the hunting team crossed the mountain and reached a hole * * at the waist of the mountain. It's a hunting squad position here, and the hunting squad will stay here overnight.
There's a cave overnight and it's naturally easier.
After a nervous journey, he was finally able to rest and the warriors' emotions relaxed.
“This hole used to live in a cave bear, and then we hunted the cave bear and took the place.” Langa told Shao Xuan about the history of this hole.
“By the way, Langa, what kind of trouble did Fei cause last time we hunted?” Shao Xuan asked.
The smile on Langa's face, who was talking about his brilliant story, disappeared, sighed, and approached Shao Xuan and whispered: “What's wrong with that bastard? If you want to get into a thorny black wind! ”
Blackwind is not a beast of some kind, but a tribal name for those who prefer lurking looters, so it is commonly called "XX Blackwind," and thorns are one of them.
After the sun set, the temperature began to drop, and the cave entrance was blocked by boulders, and the cold wind poured in through the gap, but the cave lit a fire, and there were many people, and it was warm. If you look out of the hole at this moment, Shao Xuan can also see the two rounds of bending moon that the night sky gradually reveals.
Langa said the weather must be nice tomorrow.
Outside the hole, in the silent mountains of the night, in that seemingly calm basin, a nocturnal beast began to flourish.
At the foot of the mountain, in a small pool, the calm surface of the water waved, a huge body quietly revealed the surface of the water and crawled out towards the water pool. Several nocturnal animals outside the pond who were already drinking water fled as if they had already fled.
Instead of rushing to catch up with the little prey, the giant beast stood beside the pond, waiting for the water to drop, blow dry, and the moonlight could not reflect a little light on it. That's when the giant beast walked, and the huge body quickly blended into the night.
