Chapter 157: Prehistoric Creature Thunder Beast (Subscription Requested)
After breakfast, Xu Yi and the others extinguished the bonfire and recovered the dried meat of the poisonous python.
Last night, Lu Ning had already sorted out his things, and he didn't need to pack anything.
Then, we set off straight away.
It was still Xu Yi who opened the way in front, and Su Keke walked in the middle with two hunting bows and two spears.
Lu Ning walked behind with something in her hand, and behind her were two dire wolves and an immortal bird.
They are only the ones who are really responsible for the aftermath.
However, they are not so honest, and occasionally run in front of Xu Yi.
Today's pace is significantly slower than yesterday's.
Because, the road is harder to walk.
Lots of thorns, it takes more time to open the way.
Otherwise, there is no way to walk at all.
Also, you don't know the nearby terrain, so there's no way to make a detour.
Therefore, as long as there is not that kind of dangerous route, it is impossible for Xu Yi to take a detour.
"Xu Yi, if this continues, even if it takes 28 days, it will be difficult for us to reach the supply point, right?"
Lu Ning felt that this speed was too slow, yesterday he could walk 31 kilometers a day, but today it is estimated that he will not be able to reach 28 kilometers.
"Just do your best, it's really too late to get to the back, I can go on the road alone, and I won't miss the supplies. ”
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Lu Ning nodded.
His arrangement is indeed safe.
So, Lu Ning put away her worries and hurried away silently.
"Hey, this looks like a potato?"
When Xu Yi opened the road, he found several plants, which looked like potatoes.
However, he was not very sure.
However, he knew that Lu Ning and Su Keke would definitely be able to recognize it.
"It's very similar indeed, but not sure. We dug it up with a hoe and looked at it, and it would be great if it was. After Lu Ning glanced at it, he was not 100% sure.
Because, this plant is indeed very similar to a potato, but there are some differences.
So, Lu Ning put down his back basket and took out a hoe from it.
For ease of carrying, the wooden handle of the hoe is very short, only the height of the back basket.
Only in this way can it be easily carried in the back basket and does not take up much space.
Xu Yi chopped and cleaned up the nearby plants to make room for it.
Then, Xu Yi took the hoe and dug it up.
After a few hoes, Xu Yi saw some very large rhizomes.
"That's right, it's a potato, that's a potato. Although the shape of the plant is a little different, it is definitely a potato. Lu Ning picked one up and said excitedly.
This thing is the same as a potato, and it is very large, one weighs half a catty.
It can be said that it is a very large potato.
In this one, Xu Yi dug up 6 potatoes, each of which was about the same size.
Then Xu Yi went on to dig up the second one and dug out 7 of similar sizes.
After digging up all the potatoes, they got a total of 35 potatoes.
If each weighed half a catty on average, they would now have 17.5 catties of potatoes.
"It's great that there are so many potatoes, only 5 of them, and if we can find a few more, we will have more food reserves." Lu Ning looked at these potatoes and was in a particularly good mood.
She has thought of several ways to eat heavy potatoes, and her heart is not beautiful.
Putting the potatoes in their baskets, they were ready to continue their journey.
Although it was delayed for more than ten minutes, they felt that it was still worth it.
Next, Xu Yi observed more carefully.
After all, if there are potatoes in this place, they can be found in other parts of the jungle.
One plant, you can't just have a few of them.
Especially in the vicinity where it grows, it is more easy to find.
If he wasn't in a hurry, Xu Yi would have wanted to stop and search for it.
After all, potatoes are more suitable as staple foods than cassava and taro.
Soon, it was noon.
13 km, they walked only 13 km in the morning.
For this speed, it's not ideal.
However, Xu Yi didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, they did their best and didn't deliberately slow down.
This morning, they met some monkeys.
The monkeys spotted Xu Yi and them, observed them from a distance, and then left.
Perhaps, it is because they have never seen humans, and the monkeys are more curious.
Other beasts were encountered, but they were separated by countless bushes, and the distance was also very far, and they could not help each other. So, nothing happened.
For lunch, I still eat cassava cooked in the morning.
If you have to stop to cook at noon, you will waste a lot of time.
The noon break should not exceed half an hour.
After all, at 5 p.m. they should have found a place to stop and prepare for the night.
It is necessary to cut down bushes to enclose the camp.
In this way, the beast is coming, and they also have enough time to react.
Otherwise, the beasts could attack them directly, leaving no time to prepare for them.
"Xu Yi, shouldn't we try to tame some beasts and make them our mounts? ”
"With mounts, 1,000 km is not a problem. ”
Xu Yi glanced at Lu Ning, nodded, and said with a smile: "This should be something that all challenges are looking forward to, but it's too difficult to tame a beast." After all, none of us are professional animal trainers. ”
In the real world, there are still some professional animal trainers, who can even tame lions, tigers, and crocodiles.
They have no experience at all, and they want to tame adult beasts, which is a dream without objection.
Unless, when encountering wild horses, wild asses, or reindeer, it is easier to tame.
However, the jungle where they are now located is not suitable for these large herbivores to grow.
They are suitable for living in open places, and many of them live in deserts, grasslands and other places.
Lu Ning actually knew that it was not easy to tame the beast.
Unless, raised from childhood to adulthood.
Adult dire wolves can also be mounts, but it's too difficult to raise them.
It takes at least two or three years for them to reach adulthood, right?
So, it's too hard and time-consuming to train them into mounts.
If you want to mount, you'll have to start with other beasts.
Otherwise, they won't be able to own mounts in the short term.
Xu Yi also knew that it would take a long time to train Zhongzhong and Yongyong into mounts.
And in the later stages, maybe they don't fit into use as mounts.
Although at the beginning, he thought about cultivating them into mounts.
"Next time, if we encounter a relatively large cervid, or other hoofed animals, we can make a decisive move. We have paralyzing venom, we can still catch them first and tame them. ”
Lu Ning nodded in agreement, and he could indeed try to tame it when he met it.
Not to mention too much, if you tame one, their speed can be increased.
After all, mounts can be used to carry their supplies.
The endurance and speed of those animals are much stronger than those of humans.
After lunch and a break of more than ten minutes, they continued their journey.
After walking some distance, the two dire wolves reacted.
They rushed to the front and shouted ahead.
Needless to say, there must have been something going on in front of them for them to react like this.
So, Xu Yi directly turned on the X-ray vision, wanting to see what was going on in front of him.
He didn't see anything, though.
Obviously, at a distance of more than 30 meters, his X-ray vision could not see what was ahead of him.
"I'll go up the tree and see, and you will stop and rest. "I can't see it with X-rays, so I climbed up a tree and looked.
Without figuring out the situation, Xu Yi felt that he still couldn't move forward rashly.
So, Xu Yi put down the basket, and then climbed to the tree on the side.
After getting up the tree, Xu Yi saw that the terrain in front of him had changed, there was a slope in front of him, and there was a large sparkling lake in the distance.
Lu Ning heard Xu Yi's description and also knew the situation ahead.
However, she still frowned.
"Xu Yi, do you mean that they found a lake in front of them, or did they find some dangerous beasts?" Lu Ning felt that the cries of Zhongzhong and Yongyong should be a warning, not like they had found some lakes or something.
"There should be some beast ahead, let's move on and get ready for battle. ”
Now in this situation, I can only continue to hurry.
Otherwise, you'll have to take a detour.
But in which direction should you go around?
After all, they don't have any maps and don't know what's going on in the neighborhood.
Even if Xu Yi climbed to the top of the tree, he might not be able to see much of the range and make a decision.
Walking in a straight line is a more trouble-free choice.
"Okay, let's re-quench the poisoned arrows first. Lu Ning felt that the poisoned arrow should still be quenched again, so that even if it encountered a stronger beast, it could be put down.
Xu Yi felt that this was also necessary, so together with Lu Ning, he quenched the arrows of the two people again.
The last time they quenched the poison was the morning they set out from the camp.
After all this time, it is indeed possible to quench the paralyzing venom again.
After the quenching was completed, Lu Ning carried the arrow basket on his back.
At that time, Su Keke directly gave her the hunting bow, and Lu Ning could shoot quickly.
After getting ready, Xu Yi brandished a long machete like Guan Gong's knife and continued to open the way.
To be honest, if it weren't for Xu Yi's amazing arm strength, there would really be no way to use this way to open the way.
Many survival masters in the live broadcast room, as well as some special combat team members, are very envious of Xu Yi's strength and endurance.
If Xu Yi opened the road like this, slashing all the way, their arms would have long been wasted.
Other challengers can do the same, but they are injected with body enhancers, and Xu Yike has not been injected.
It's a pity that the live broadcast room won't give any explanation.
Many viewers believe that the last time because of the rhythm in the live broadcast room, Xu Yi was taken away by a big ball for testing.
Maybe it was because the test results showed that Xu Yi had no problem, so the live broadcast room compensated Xu Yi and injected him with a body enhancer.
Otherwise, how could Xu Yi be a little stronger than other body enhancers who had been injected?
It's not injected, it's so strong, it's completely unscientific.
Therefore, the audience compensated Xu Yi in the live broadcast room and injected him with a body enhancer.
Their brain replenishment ability is still very strong, and they are becoming more and more determined that this is the truth, and they are promoting it in other live broadcast rooms.
Xu Yi didn't explain anything about this.
It doesn't hurt for him that the audience thinks so.
As long as the live broadcast room doesn't do anything to him, Xu Yi doesn't care what the audience thinks.
After walking a distance, it starts to go downhill.
However, the slope is not steep and is still very gentle.
"It's a python, and it's bitten a beast. ”
"Xiaoqi, you come to shoot the python. Xu Yi didn't even need to turn on the X-ray vision, he saw a beast thirty or forty meters away that was bitten by a python on the neck, and then entangled in its body.
"Your nickname for the snake girl's nemesis is really not wrong. ”
Lu Ning put down his things, took Su Keke's hunting bow, and complained.
Xu Yi touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "It seems that it is true, wherever you go, you can encounter snakes, and many of them are pythons." ”
"Could it be that I am Xu Xian in a certain life?"
Lu Ning put the arrow on the bow, turned his head to look at Xu Yi, and said a little dazedly: "What Xu Xian?"
Xu Yi reacted at this time, this world is not his original world, there is no legend of the White Snake, and there is no story of the White Lady and Xu Xian.
"I read an ancient book in Coco's village, and there is a little story about a scholar named Xu Xian who fell in love with a snake demon. Xu Yi said casually, after all, no one can prove that this matter is not true.
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes locked on the python in the distance.
The python was much smaller than the cave python in her camp, but because it was wrapped around an animal, it was still a big target.
After locking on, the poisoned arrow was shot straight out.
"Yes. ”
Xu Yi gave a thumbs up to Lu Ning.
"Good archery. ”
Lu Ning smiled slightly, she was still very happy to be praised by her boyfriend.
"How is it, does it work?" Lu Ning was very curious, and glanced at it on tiptoe.
Xu Yi glanced at it, and then said, "Yes, the entangled animal began to move. ”
"Let's go up and see what kind of animal it is, and see if it's suitable for mounting. As he spoke, Xu Yi quickly brandished his long machete and quickly approached the python and the animal entangled by the python.
Thirty or forty meters was not very far, and soon they arrived.
"Xu Yi, what kind of animal is this?"
Lu Ning found that a beast that she had never seen at all appeared in her field of vision.
"It looks a bit like a rhinoceros, but it's much smaller than a rhinoceros and doesn't have horns. The boss in the live broadcast room, do you know about this beast?" Xu Yi was not willing to use scanning, so he directly asked the live broadcast room for help.
Sometimes, it is possible to get some simple information about the animals from the audience.
When Xu Yi asked, he went around to the front of the python's head, and then cut off its head and body with a knife.
This is a new snake, and for Xu Yi, this is the reward.
Therefore, the meat of this python must be taken away.
This animal can't be a species of the extinct Thunderbeast family, right?
Thunderbeasts, aren't they horned, close relatives of horses?
It is indeed very similar to the rhinoceros, it should be a kind of thunder beast, an extinct mammal of the family of strange hoofs from the early to late Eocene.
I checked it out, and it really looks like it. Coco's luck is against the sky, and when you are short of mounts, the python will send you one.
I'll go, this can also be regarded as a python sent. Brother, your brain is different from others.
This one is not big, and it looks like it is only less than one meter and three meters tall, but it is quite big, and the legs are very thick. The brother just said that the python sent it, and I think it makes some sense. After all, this little python can't swallow such a large creature.
This Nima is not big, it is estimated that it weighs 300 pounds, which is more than enough for Coco to be a mount. Maybe you'll be able to carry a lot of things.
"So, this beast could really be a type of thunder beast?" Xu Yi touched the animal that no longer had much strength.
"Look at its mouth, it should be a herbivore, and this hoof, with hard armor, should really be suitable as a mount, but unfortunately it is dying. Lu Ning went up and touched it, and found that its skin was very hard, but it was very warm.
Su Keke also went up and touched it, as if he wanted to appease the thunder beast that was entangled in the python.
"Little Thunderbeast, your name is so nice. "Sucoco seems to like this thunderbeast very much.
"Well, it's the first time I've heard that name. "Lu Ning hadn't heard of the Thunder Beast before, after all, she hadn't learned about ancient biology.
Xu Yi took a look at it with X-ray vision and found that it did not have fractures.
"I guess it's just a loss of strength, I'll get the python's corpse open first, and then make a nose ring for the nose of this thunder beast. This thunderbeast resembles a rhinoceros, and perhaps its nose is also its weak point. With that, Xu Yi began to drag the body of the python and liberate the thunder beast from it.
The nose ring is a thing that is worn in the nose of the cow, which can make the cow feel pain, and it is very convenient to help people domesticate the cow and make the cow more obedient.
Compared with cows, horses, mules, and donkeys also have their own weaknesses, the weakness of horses is the mane on their necks, and the weakness of donkeys and mules is their lower lip. That's why they don't put a nose ring on the nose of these animals.
Moreover, compared to cows, horses and donkeys have softer necks, and they can change direction by manpower, so they only need to wear a halter on their heads, and there is no need to wear a nose ring.
The thunder beast in front of them looked a bit like a cow, so Xu Yi thought about getting a nose ring for it to try first.
Even if it has other weaknesses, Xu Yi has observed its nose, and it is indeed very similar to a bull's nose.
So, this method may really work.
They don't have a hoop to use now, but they can be tied directly to its nose with a rope.
