With Yang Xiaotian's order, the team that had been repaired for less than half an hour set off again. Their destination was the place where Yang Xiaotian had just seen the bearded rat.

Now when the sky is still dark, what you can see is only about a few tens of meters. In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the place where Yang Xiaotian saw the bearded rat.

And it turned out that fortunately, Uncle Hu's reminder made Yang Xiaotian make up his mind and rushed towards the place where he saw the bearded mouse. Otherwise, now he would really miss this opportunity to search for Roe!

Because when they arrived, the little thing that Yang Xiaotian saw hadn't run far yet—it was the time for Luo Ai to mature, and it was the time when the bearded rat's athletic ability was at its worst. Although Yang Xiaotian missed a little time during the period, he finally caught up.

"Follow it!" Yang Xiaotian said in a low voice.

Although except for Uncle Hu, the rest of the people saw this strange animal for the first time. But the prestige that Yang Xiaotian had already erected made them all choose to shut up at this moment, but silently obeyed Yang Xiaotian's orders, followed closely behind the bearded mouse, and did not make a sound.

The bearded rat's running speed was very slow, so slow that Yang Xiaotian only needed to walk to keep up. Although the bearded rat saw someone following behind it, subconsciously, it increased its stealth speed.

But even so, at most, it only made the pursuers behind them change from the usual walk to a race walk that was about a quarter of the speed faster.

The bearded mouse was in a hurry, but it was not yet time for it to increase its athletic ability, so I thought that no matter how hard the snail tried, the distance it had run wild for a morning was actually the distance that the rabbit had run for a few minutes.

Although the speed difference between the bearded mouse and Yang Xiaotian was not so exaggerated, its maximum speed could not escape Yang Xiaotian's tracking at all.

But while he was chasing, Rokov suddenly scolded.

"This cunning beast dares to seduce us!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotian saw a shadow rushing towards him. Rokov's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the shadow with his hands. The moment the shadow was caught, it reflexively bit down on the arm of Rokov, who was holding it.

But Rokov's speed, noticeably faster.

Before its big mouth can bite it, shake it hard. The big mouth that was about to bite his arm immediately lost its crosshairs, and finally the mouth passed through Rokov's hand, and not even a single red mark could be left on Rokov's body.

"Xiaotian, be careful, that little thing has led us into the snake's nest. Uncle Hu's voice came from behind him, and he had already grabbed two snakes in his hands.

Although his reaction speed is not as fast as Rokov's, he is an experienced villager after all. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water. It is undeniable that Rokov is the strongest man in Hulu Village, but on the other hand, he is also undeniable.

In today's Hulu Village, in terms of experience in the mountains and forests, the richest thing is not Rokov, who often goes in and out of the mountains and forests, but Uncle Hu.

On the one hand, back then, Hulu Village was even poorer than it is now. Coupled with the spread of the plague at the beginning, Hulu Village was scarcely populated. In addition to hunting to meet the needs of life, they also have to deal with the wild beasts that appear in the village from time to time.

But now, although there are still not many people in Hulu Village, there are always many more people in Hulu Village than there were only more than 100 people left, right?

And in that plague, all the old people and younger children were all finished.

Those who can survive are young people with relatively good immune systems, or children who are already in their teens.

And those men and women who survived became the foundation for the continued reproduction of Hulu Village.

And Uncle Hu, as the only person who has survived from that time to the present, when he faces the dangers that may occur in the mountains and forests, he naturally has much more means to deal with them than Rokov.

And now, the two snakes in his hands are honestly in his hands, motionless.

If it weren't for the scarlet letter that was still swallowing from time to time, I'm afraid Yang Xiaotian would have thought that Uncle Hu had already prepared two toy snakes to pretend to be a cow in front of him.

"What's in the snake nest?" Yang Xiaotian glanced at Uncle Hu's hands, which were two poisonous snakes that were not too poisonous. If you are bitten, you will faint at best.

"Yes, the bearded rat probably thought that we were determined to kill it, so he simply took us directly to the snake's nest and died with us. As he spoke, Uncle Hu pointed to the distance, where a small thing was struggling desperately.

It's just that no matter how much it struggles, it's not the opponent of the snake after all, is it?

The reason why natural enemies are called natural enemies is because the person who is the hunting party has almost an advantage when facing the hunting party.

And it's like the relationship between the bearded rat and the rattlesnake biting it. Bearded rats have a keen sense of sight and smell, but the two weapons given to them by Heaven have also taken back their agility - although in reality, they are only self-inflicted......

And this bearded rat seems to be a pathfinder. When it finally stopped struggling in the rattlesnake's mouth, it was soon filled with countless bearded rats emerging from the ground from all over the ground. The majestic beard, which resembled a beard, did not give them even the slightest layer of force.

One by one, the bearded rats rushed forward one after the other. And at this time, all the snakes gave up the siege of Yang Xiaotian and them.

Snakes will only attack animals of their size unless they feel threatened, or if their territory has been violated.

But they did not forget that so many species of snakes gathered here, not for meetings, but for banquets.

Tonight they are the eaters, and the feast is the bearded rat that rushes out of the sky.

"Suddenly, they seemed to be pitiful. "Although there are countless bearded rats rushing out of the holes in the ground. But the vast majority of them will be bitten by at least one snake in an instant.

Snakes now basically don't need to be targeted, although their various organs are made to hunt and kill. But now, even a bulky snake can swallow the bearded rat that passes in front of it in an instant as long as its mouth reacts quickly.

And in fact, there are indeed lazy snakes that do just that.

But this night was the only time they could do so, because today was Roai's ripening day. If they want to enjoy this great feast that only comes once in thirty years, they must firmly protect the one that leads to Roai. You don't need to worry about running out of food in your mouth!

"That's their fate. "At this time, the feast of bearded rats has just begun. The snakes have now completely ignored Yang Xiaotian and them. Looking at countless bearded rats, struggling in the mouths of countless snakes, Rao is Yang Xiaotian is accustomed to seeing life and death, but he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

The natural world is tolerant, but it is also cruel.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, and in front of the cruel natural interface, everything seems to be much more merciful.

As Yang Xiaotian said, if the bearded rats have been honestly staying underground, although it is inevitable that they will encounter snakes. But after all, the probability of encountering a snake is definitely much smaller than when you are on the ground.

But what is most lacking in the world is ifs.

It's like a group of lemmings jumping into the sea, which seems to outsiders to be a very idiotic thing, but this is their fate.

And the same is true of the current bearded rats, they have fought for thirty years of underground life, as well as their own speed of action, in exchange for the rapid reproduction of the population, and after thirty years, they will use the hard-earned population in exchange for a small chance to survive the snakes. Then go and take a bite of Roai so that they don't have to worry about their natural predators, snakes, for the rest of the year.

Is all this worth it or not?

No one has made this matter clear or clear.

This is the fate of the bearded rat, in a human sentence - all this, it is fate!

But today, the fate of these bearded rats is destined to end in tragedy. The snakes came here to eat them, but Yang Xiaotian and they came here to capture them after thirty years of hard work before they could taste a bite of Luo Ai.

Because there are too many bearded rats, and although there are many snakes, they are still a little worse than the bearded rats that have been hiding and breeding for thirty years.

When all the snakes here had at least one bearded rat in their mouths, at last a bearded rat passed by the snakes, and then crawled smoothly in front of Roai.

But before it could let out a cry of triumph, it realized that something was not quite right with its body.

It seems to have suddenly grown a lot, or rather, its head has left the distance from its body, which is too long......

"Brother Yang......" Rokov had a complicated look in his eyes. That bearded rat worked hard, and under the premise that so many of his kind paid for their lives, he finally came to the front of Luo Ai.

But before he got there to take a bite, he was already beheaded by Yang Xiaotian with a flying knife......

"It's just the jungle. Yang Xiaotian's eyes also flashed a touch of unbearability, but in an instant, it was replaced by coldness.
