Chapter 11: Night in the Rainforest
Catherine just found a full food, and suddenly it didn't work, saying that she was not frightened in her heart was completely false, after all, she had already felt her current big stomach attributes, if there was no such full food, if she lived on the kind of fish before, dozens of fish a day were not enough, wouldn't that mean that she had to keep repeating the process of eating? That kind of life is too terrible, right?
Ling Mo had an expression that he had already known this, and said: "Of course, the creatures of the Demon Beast type, before condensing the Demon Core, as long as they die, the energy in their bodies will quickly escape, and they will become no different from ordinary animal meat, you are still there in a leisurely barbecue, it is normal for this situation to occur." β
Catherine's mouthful of old blood was stuck in her throat, almost not infarcting, she looked at Ling Mo with a resentful expression, and said with some grievance: "Master, it's too bad if you knew this and didn't stop me." β
"Only if you experience it yourself once will you completely accept this fate, right?"
Catherine was stunned, she scratched her head irritably, and sat on the ground, yes, if she told herself directly that she would only have the fate of eating raw food in the future, would she accept it immediately? This is obviously impossible, even now that she has fully felt this fact, she is also a little sad: will she only be a wild man who drinks blood in the future? Is she going to be completely out of touch with modern society? What a nasty way of life...
Catherine, who was in a melancholy, suddenly felt a warm big hand caressing the top of her head, looked up at her cheap master, and heard the other party say gently: "Don't worry, it's just this stage, you can still do it if you want to eat cooked food in the future, and,"
The other party paused, a look of struggle appeared on his face, and after half a ring, he said in pain: "What's more, there is my stronghold in the rainforest, which contains a sauce made from the materials I have collected over the years, and it tastes good and delicious." β
Catherine rubbed her head against the palm of the other's hand, with a yearning look on her face, and said, "Cut, stingy." β
Seeing the embarrassed look on Ling Mo's face, Catherine smiled, she ate all the roasted snakes in her hand by dividing them by two, stood up and said, "Let's go, Master, didn't you tell me that night is the best time to hunt?"
βββββββββββI'm a gorgeous dividerβββββββββββββ
At night, the sky will be dark, it is an excellent time for most carnivores, especially dexterous carnivores, Catherine and Ling Mo walked side by side in the depths of the rainforest, Catherine also adjusted the magic eye spirit to night mode, on the way, Ling Mo began to make up for Catherine's knowledge about the rainforest:
"I'm sure you've learned a little bit about predators, and besides the superficial reason that night can cover the body of carnivores, have you ever wondered why they like to hunt at night?"
Catherine shook her head, she was a magician before, and although she was an adventurer, she basically followed the basic rules of exploring during the day and resting at night, and she hadn't thought carefully about why she did it.
"The reason for this is that herbivores, especially large herbivores, have their eyes on both sides of their heads, which is an obvious advantage, and with their relatively high height, they have a panoramic field of view of almost 360 degrees when they raise their heads, which is of great significance for preventing themselves from being hunted. Ling Mo pointed to the temples on both sides of him and motioned to Catherine to imagine, "However, although the angle of the field of vision has become larger, the accuracy of the perception of the 'far and near' of the spatial position has decreased, and the reason why people and animals have two eyes is to observe the 'distance' of the object from themselves. This is especially evident at night when the image is blurry, and carnivores with both eyes in front of them have an innate advantage at night. How to take advantage of this advantage that nature has given you is the key to successful hunting, you know?"
"Got it, Master. β
"You must be careful, in order to compensate for the innate visual disadvantage of herbivores, nature has specially given them a more acute sense of hearing, and you must not make any sound during the approach, otherwise you will definitely not be able to outrun them with your current stamina, understand?"
"Yes, Master. β
"Very good, ahead is one of the several habitats of the third-level demonic beast 'One-horned Forest Sheep', go capture one and prove your ability! Ling Mo took out a dagger from his hand around his waist and handed it over, saying, "This dagger is very sharp, be careful not to hurt yourself." β
Catherine took the dagger and looked at it carefully, this dagger was very light in her hand, less than a foot long, the front end was not a common straight line, but a crescent-like arc, the white blade, the color looked more like the fangs of some kind of beast, she waved it twice to get used to the feel of the dagger, took a deep breath, and quietly leaned towards the territory of the unicorn forest sheep not far away.
Catherine's eyesight has improved greatly, even at night, the image in her eyes is almost as clear as the day, except for a little darker, about fifty or sixty meters away, between the trees, there is a dry flat land, about twenty meters in radius, scattered dozens of one-horned forest sheep.
This kind of dry flat land due to the high terrain is extremely valuable in the rainforest, even if the one-horned forest sheep know the danger, they have to come to this place for a short rest, because the wool on the body of their newly laid cubs is not dense enough, and when they lie down to rest, long-term exposure to moist humus soil will produce large areas of ulceration, which can be life-threatening, so at this time of year, they must stay here for a few days until the wool on the young forest sheep is dry and hard.
Obviously, this kind of behavior full of regularity will inevitably attract the attention of predators, in the dark, Catherine faintly felt more than one breath, as a mage was not so sensitive, at this time the perception of Dajin, between the shadows and shadows, she saw the outlines of at least three medium-sized cats, these elegant predators are all lying on the ground tightly, pressing their bodies as low as possible, whenever the head of the one-horned forest sheep in charge of vigilance turns, the predators in the blind corner of their vision move forward a few points, these predators are obviously not all the way, but they cooperate quite tacitlyγ
Catherine did the same, prostrate on the ground, moving forward in a limited opportunity, her eyes were firmly fixed on the vigilant one-horned forest sheep, for fear of missing a little opportunity to move forward, because she knew very well that the predators cooperated very well at this time, once the first predator moved to the distance it wanted, it would not wait for others to take position, and would attack directly!
The unicorn is a distant relative of the sixth-level demonic beast unicorn, the unicorn is the totem beast of the elven race, and legend has it that only the purest virgins can ride on their backs. Light creatures come and go in the jungle like the wind, extremely fast and very powerful attack, although the one-horned forest sheep is not so strong, but also inherited a bit of light characteristics, unlike other herbivores, their bellies are not so fat, from the forelimbs part of the constriction into an approximate streamline, the head only has a pointed horn, which is also their only weapon, the dark color and the snow white of the body is a sharp contrast.
Catherine now regrets that she didn't change out of her damn wide clothes, which was originally her favorite style of dressing, but at this time it became the biggest obstacle to her progress. The trouser legs always involuntarily rubbed against the fallen leaves on the ground, making a slight rustling sound, and when she was close to thirty meters, Catherine knew that she could not continue to move forward, and the large male forest sheep in charge of guarding had already looked in this direction several times, she lay down quietly, narrowed her eyes, and avoided the light reflected by her eyes from revealing her existence, silently waiting for other predators to create opportunities for herself.
Catherine didn't open the vision barrage, if it did, she would be shocked, at this time, the popularity of her live broadcast room has broken through the million mark! And it continues to rise! No wonder, although it is dark in the forest, this time is the time when many people get off work and return home to eat and rest, which is commonly known as the "golden time" , When the news broadcasts of various countries, her live broadcast room not only appeared on the homepage of the outdoor adventure section, but also opened a column for her on the homepage of the entire Fighting Shark platform, and also added eye-catching large characters:
Shocked! The beautiful anchor fights the third-level Warcraft with his bare hands!
When Catherine lay down and waited for the opportunity, someone in the barrage sighed:
"I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could actually see someone fighting a third-level demonic beast with bare hands, and the Sprinkle family is worth it in this life!"
"I've been out of breath since I started! This kind of battle that doesn't rely on magic reminds me of the hunting of primitive tribes in the documentary!"
"This primitive, savage atmosphere is the most fascinating place for outdoor adventures!"
"Ah~~~ No, I'm going to fall in love with the streamer!"
"Did you notice that there was a distinct silhouette of a carnivore at two o'clock!"
"Senior field experts tell you, looking at the size, it is definitely a third-level Warcraft Jungle Leopard!"
"Hehe, didn't you say that you killed a third-level demonic beast with your bare hands?
"That's it, the title party doesn't thank you for reporting!"
"Where did you get the stupid hat, this is also going to be black, give you a piece of armor, can you win the second-level demonic beast?"
"Sunspots can be black in everything, the advertising slogan is from Shark Fighting, it's about the anchor?"
"A small dagger is going to kill a third-level demonic beast, this can also be sprayed? Why don't I give you a keyboard and let you go and slay the dragon?"
"Don't make any noise! Watch and study hard! The sunspots will stop the meeting, the anchor must have closed the barrage at this time, and she can't see what you say!"
"The front row reminds the anchor that the speed is extremely fast! If you don't want to miss the wonderful picture, add an eagle eye to yourself in advance!"
β......β
Just when there was a lot of commotion in the barrage, Catherine's eyes lit up, and there was a new change in the scene, a predator in the direction of nine o'clock seemed to have moved to the position it wanted, and the moment the vigilant unicorn sheep turned its head and turned its back to it, it pierced out like a black arrow, and swooped down on an adult female forest sheep who was still breastfeeding!
The sound of a powerful running and gripping ground reached Catherine's ears, making her blood boil, and in the faint moonlight, Catherine clearly recognized that this black shadow that pounced out was the famous top predator among the third-level demonic beasts: the velociraptor dragon!
