Chapter 161: Dust to Dust Dust to Dust

Su Wen sat on the mountain meadow and looked northwest, where the mountain range had a gap, making the crater look like a plate with an open mouth. Antelopes, bison, and other animals are coming in and out of the gap.

The hand on his lap slowly rubbed a demon pill. This piece of demon pill feels a little weird, it is not gold, not jade, not stone, not wood, not bone, it is very hard. I don't know when I put it in the bag, he usually doesn't pay attention to it, and he always mentions the demon pill these days before he remembers. Playing with it in my hand from time to time, the most curious thing is the use of this demon pill, and I also take this opportunity to reduce my nostalgia for my hometown.

It only took a short time for the members of the capture team that Su Wen needed to be decided. Stand in a line and wait for him to speak.

Su Wen looked at the dozen or so soldiers gathered and said, "We don't have to look like we are going to die, we just go to catch demon beasts, not to send them to death!"

A bold soldier patted his chest and said, "My lord, what is the difference between going to catch cubs in the demon beast herd and sending them to death? Die...... We are not afraid, there are no bad seeds among the orphans in our feather forest.... Can... It's clear that you can't beat the ......"

The soldier's expression was solemn and resolute as he spoke, but his trembling hands betrayed the uneasiness in his heart.

Su Wen looked at him and smiled, and said, "Where can I use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens? It's just a matter of dealing with a few demon beasts that have just completed the moon, where do we need the Yulin Army to be so close to the enemy? Just send a few people who have been hunters to me, which is enough to give face to the demon beasts." ”

The sergeant's mood was already a little nervous and depressed these days, and then he heard Su Wen say this, and retorted: "The demon beast made such a big move, the imperial court issued an edict, and the forbidden army sent us, how much silver does it cost to chew millet every day, and it took so much effort to pull us here, how can we not fight?"

Su Wen smiled and said, "Then you look at the situation below, does this look like a war?"

After speaking, he pointed to the willow forest where the leopard demon lived at the foot of the mountain——— where it was peaceful, and several young leopard demons were chasing and frolicking. Before I knew it, I had left the willow forest far away, and the leopard demon who was supposed to protect the cub was indifferent, still lying on the willow branches and falling asleep.

"Did you see it? The little ones are running around, and the old ones are just sleeping. Know why?..... It's because there are no natural predators here. The demon beast is smart, it knows that no one dares to fight the idea of the young demon, so it dares to be so lax. People don't care, do you still think you can fight?"

"So what do we do?" Hearing that there was no need to fight, the soldier rekindled his hope and smiled. The atmosphere is not so tense anymore.....

"Leave this alone for now, the mountain people have their own tricks. Su Wen said proudly, he has been a hunter!"

He pondered for a long time and didn't find a way, and suddenly remembered that Su's mother once mentioned that there are many ways to kill wild animals on a large scale and quickly, and the fastest and safest method is a virus that targets specific genes. He had nowhere to get the virus, let alone touch it. What kind of avian flu, SARS, non-crown is really terrible, and it is not good to lose both.

Fortunately, he only wanted a few young beasts, and there was no need to massacre demon beasts.......

A lean middle-aged man stepped out of the crowd, clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, my name is Zhang Chao... The ancestor was Orion, and now he works as an errand in the Royal Hunting Garden. I would like to hear from you. ”

Men are very ordinary in appearance and figure, and they are the kind of people who are difficult to identify when placed in a crowd. This person is an ordinary person, and his martial arts are average. But he was able to work as an errand in the Royal Hunting Garden, and of course he had his merits - he caught monsters with traps and traps! He was a household name and legend throughout Sisu City.

The expedition was full of elite soldiers. Since he had to deal with demon beasts, this person naturally took the lead and was sent by Empress Xisu......

...........................

The few trees in the meadow had just pulled out their verdant buds, and there were no leaves between the branches, so standing here could easily penetrate the open space and fall farther away. For example, the willow forest on the edge of the grassland in the distance, and those leopard demons who are frolicking and roaring from time to time.

"Your Excellency...... If you don't see it, there is a wilderness ahead. We can't get by, and we will definitely be discovered by demon beasts in the future!"

Zhang Chao hid in the river, and years of experience taught him that the monster beast had a great ability to choose a campsite: nearby was an open meadow, and the monster could observe the enemy situation by squinting casually on the tree.

"Not at night, the leopard demon's night vision is no worse than that of a cat!"

Su Wen didn't have the confidence to sneak through the open area, and took out the bottle containing cyanide. The skull logo printed on the bottle made him scratch his bones. Scratching his head unconsciously: "This is difficult, and I don't know what demon beasts like to eat?"

Zhang Chao smiled, he didn't expect that this guy who was famous for his martial arts was actually a fellow practitioner, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for each other: "Are you sure this medicine works?"

"If you stick the tip of a needle, you can see blood seal your throat. Don't say it's a monster...... The elephants weren't saved!"

"My lord must have been a hunter before he became an official, right?"

Su Wenduo regarded himself as a hunter in the outer land, but he didn't expect to have a day to work with authentic Orion. For fear of being ridiculed by people for showing his feet, he arbitrarily set himself up with a career.

"I was originally a witch doctor, and I occasionally went to the mountains to hunt birds and beasts to improve my life. After saying that, Yang Yang raised the bottle in his hand to increase his credibility.

That's fine

It's half a peer, it's just the difference between poisoning and trapping. Zhang Chao had a sense of knowledge, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and teased: "You don't be an Orion, but it's a big loss for our Orion!"

"It should be said that it is the luck of the demon beast. ”

"I followed the ass of the monster herd all the way this time. No matter how you look at it, you feel that the number of demon beasts is not much, at most tens of thousands of heads. Even if the strength of the demon beast is doubled, as long as all of us are soldiers guarding the city, it is impossible to pose a particularly big threat to the human race. I didn't expect them to breed so much this time, if they grow up and go south like locusts......"

A trace of horror and despair flashed in Zhang Chao's eyes.......

"I've seen it with my own eyes. In your eyes, a large number of powerful human cities, the city was breached by more than a hundred demon beasts. Snatched a large area of grassland. In the end, he reluctantly retreated to the south, forced to send people under the fence, and lived a life of displacement.

"Now these demon beasts can do this with only a hundred or so people, if you give them time to gain a foothold in the mother land and multiply and grow, don't you think it's terrifying?

Ning Que said with a smile: "Don't forget, as long as there is enough food, giving birth to a child is always simple and pleasant. ”

Zhang Chao was silent for a long time and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Su Wen looked at the ordinary animals in the distance of the Reckless Wasteland, thought for a moment and said, "Looking at the current situation, our top priority is to find out why the demon beasts came to migrate here. I guess there is something here that is necessary for the cubs to grow up, and they just have to come. I guess it has something to do with the growth of the demon pill...... So, we need to find a young beast's demon pill to see. ”

After saying that, he pondered for a moment, "Maybe I'm wrong, but if it's right, we'll find a way to destroy this thing, so that we can control the number of demon beasts."

At this moment, three young and strong female leopard demons with beautiful patterns appeared behind the willow forest. The leader of the leopard demon casually glanced at the meadow, where there were herds of herbivores, leisurely grazing with their heads bowed. I didn't know that a catastrophe was coming.

The female leopard demon led by the leopard demon lowered her head and said nothing, intentionally or unintentionally swept her eyes across the river on both sides, and waited for something to be confirmed, and then walked over without hurrying.

In the willow forest behind her, a group of half-large leopard demons came out......

The leopard demon is hunting in large groups, and the cubs are right in front of them, no matter how powerful the demon beast is, the cubs are also vulnerable. Looking at the God-given opportunity in front of him, Zhang Chao's face was anxious, as if he wanted to get close but didn't dare.

Su Wen hid in the grass and quietly touched out the high-powered mirror......

After observing a few times, he shook his head at Zhang Chao and handed him the high times.

There are two male leopards lying on top of the canopy, and the patterns on their skin are intertwined with the old trees, making it difficult to spot.

The female leopard demon had already approached the herd of beasts on the grassland, and the half-big leopard demon behind her, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, formed a fan, and farther away..... Several young leopard demons flashed out of the river......

Zhang Chao looked at the tense herd of beasts on the meadow like a great enemy, and recognized that it should be an antelope and a bison, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and subconsciously glanced at Su Wen beside him.

"Yes, it's hopeless..... They were surrounded. ”

The hunt was not terrifying and bloody, and neither the horns of the bison nor the antelope posed any threat to the leopard demon..... When the leopard demon joined in, he caused confusion among the beasts, and randomly selected an antelope and a bison, and stopped them head-on when they ran in terror, waving their claws gently...... The running antelope insisted on running a few steps, and fell to the ground in a dejected manner.... Its throat has been cut open ....

The leopard demon drove them all away, dragging the prey out of the meadow....... The frightened antelope and bison settled down..... It's as if everything is taken for granted ... It's like a fate they can't get rid of.......

Zhang Chao looked at the triumph of the demon beasts, turned his head to look at Ning Que and said sadly, "Master Su..... It's too close to the monsters, it's really unsafe, let's go back to camp, right?

"Master Su?" Zhang Chao asked as he looked at Su Wen suspiciously.

Su Wen watched leisurely return from the meadow.... Like a demon beast grazing back from an idyllic song, he sighed helplessly, patted his butt and stood .......

"There are too many animals...... There are many animals in the vicinity though...... If the number of monsters continues to increase..... There is always a day when it is not enough. Su Wen saw that the demon beast did not kill indiscriminately.... Guess that the demon beast knows the truth of fishing without drying up...... Worry and uneasiness clouded his face......

..............................

Staying in the mountains at night is like a knife, and the worst thing is that you don't dare to make a fire...... I can only imagine imagining the hot water boiling on the campfire in my heart.... Red tongue of fire..... Warm as a girl's embrace.

More than a dozen elites of the Western Su Yulin Army were scattered around, or sleeping or standing guard vigilantly, Su Mei did not like the cold wind..... Got into the tent early..... Only Su Wenhe

The royal hunter named Zhang Chao sat next to a large rock that could shelter from the wind.

During the day, Zhang Chao kept claiming to Su Wen that Master Su didn't seem to know his true identity, but at this time, wrapped in a leather jacket next to the cold stone, his title had already changed in a soft voice: "Brother.... Is it really going to go around tomorrow? It's too far away from the camp to be rescued if something happens. ”

Su Wen was holding a branch and drawing something on the ground...... Hearing this, he glanced up at him, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Something happened to us! Who do you think can save us?..... Again..... The tactics of this team of leopard demon hunting are perfect.... Better than a well-trained army......"

Zhang Chao no longer persuaded him..... Seeing the horror of the attack of the demon beast group will only make people feel powerless......

Su Wen looked at his seemingly honest face, sighed and said, "Speaking of which, isn't our luck too bad?" In the expedition, you are a dark hunter, you were sent out to follow me, if we can't do something, we will be seen as a joke....."

Zhang Chao smiled bitterly and said: "I used to have dozens of people digging traps and trapping beasts...... If you are busy for a month, you may not be able to bump into a monster.... Maybe you will lose manpower. Now it's just the two of us...... Take chestnuts from the fire!"

"I can only hope that your poison will be as you say..... Don't waste a good calculation. ”

I sat down for a while..... The two of them picked up their equipment, got up and left... It won't just disappear into the night

............................

"Be careful with blowguns........ This thing is really poisonous." Su Wen carefully reminded Zhang Chao.

As a well-known professional hunter, Zhang Chao has the same skills and equipment that a hunter should have. At this time, he was blowing arrows and feeding poison under the supervision of Su Wen...... He also often used poisons ——— like common snake venoms..... Poison ......... extracted from dried skin of arrow frogs But never so careful.

Su Wen asked him to wrap his mouth and nose with a cloth, and then put on fur gloves to protect him from the cold. The gloves don't have fingers... Clumsy as a bear's paw to pinch up the arrow's hairy flying arrow.... Then stick it into a small bottle the size of a copper coin and stick it.... It's a torturous job.

Su Wen nervously reminded him: "Be careful.... Be careful...."

It's been a long time..... When the sky dawned, I finally finished the work in hand.....

Zhang Chao stood up.... Clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could rest.... Su Wen urged him to go on the road with a blow arrow.

Taking advantage of the glimmer of dawn, the two touched the vicinity of the bison herd. Su Wen followed behind Zhang Chao with his waist...... Su Wen, who was calm, accidentally kicked a stone.... A slight noise is emitted.

Zhang Chao immediately stopped, turned around and shook his head at Su Wen.... Motioned for him to stop following.

...............

Su Wen stopped...... Watching him move forward slowly, Zhang Chao bent his waist, and the whole person seemed to blend into the night..... Traveling fast and slow...... Like a cat approaching its prey.

Zhang Chao stepped on a rhythmic footstep like this.... Silently blended into the herd of bison. Seeing the sleeping bison unaware.... He slowly pulled out the blowpipe..... Equip a bladeless blow arrow. Slowly puff out the cheeks.... With a barely audible sound.... Thin arrows of cow hair stuck to the horns of the bison. The bison at this time is still asleep.... There was no reaction at all. Even if there was a bison who woke up, he just glanced at it casually, as if he regarded Zhang Chao as a stone or his companion.

After doing all this, Zhang Chao still tiptoed out the same way, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, he didn't even turn around, went straight in, and went straight back.

You must know that this is a deserted wasteland, where the grass grows and hides white bones, the bison are timid and irritable, if you really anger the bison, the bison will not care if you have armor... Your weight alone can knock you to death.... Stampede to death.

Kill you and throw you into the depths of the grassland, who knows how you died? Even if you go to the underworld, there is no way to reason. It can't be said that you are really blinded by geese all day long.

By daybreak, the two had retreated to the mountains. The roar of the leopard demon was faintly heard in the distance, Zhang Chao glanced at the place, and said softly: "Master Su, I hope that the demon beast is one of these dozen today, and it is best to look like today, those cubs are interested in the horns." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Su Wen to answer, he sighed regretfully: "If it was daytime, I should pick up the old and the small." I watched it today, and the monster caught an old cow and a small antelope. ”

Su Wen thought to himself, your observation power is comparable to that of a zoologist. No wonder it is possible to be a hunter. Sure enough, three hundred and sixty lines are the champions.

"Maybe it's the old and the young who are slow. It's a little easier to get your hands on. ”

The two men drove again without stopping, and circled back to the camp along the mountain, and just after noon, they arrived at the ditch where the sky had gone down the previous night, and when they went down to the ditch. Looking beyond the willows, I clearly saw another hunt. There are many bison on the grassland, and the bison who were hit by the arrow did not make a mark, so it is difficult to tell which one the monster caught it.
