Chapter 211: The Jungle (3)

Lin Huo sighed helplessly, then called the resting soldiers up and continued on their way.

It gets dark very quickly in the forest, and it takes less than four or five hours from noon to night.

The soldiers, tired from the day, leaned against each other and fell asleep around the fire.

Since getting lost, the people of the world for half a day have no good route when they arrived, so they can only try their luck in the east.

The rations carried by the soldiers could only last for another two days, and Wang Lang did not plan to use these life-saving foods for the rest of the journey, and if he wanted not to starve to death in this jungle, he could only hunt while walking.

After spending the night peacefully and regaining their strength, the soldiers packed up their things and continued to move towards the unknown deep forest.

The soldiers knew that the food they carried was for emergency purposes, and from this day on, the expedition searched for everything they could eat along the way.

In the afternoon, the expedition team, while passing by a palm grove, saw a large animal, sitting on the ground enjoying the trunk of a palm tree.

"Shhhh Everyone, be quiet! Wang Lang motioned for everyone to be quiet.

The soldiers licked their lips, such a large animal, if killed, would be enough to eat for a long time.

"Lin Huo, you take the archers to lurk in the nearby trees, Kong Yi, you follow me, lurk in the grass with the spearmen, you must be careful, don't scare this big guy away." Wang Lang arranged tasks for everyone separately.

After Wang Lang finished speaking, the team dispersed into two groups.

Lin Huo led twenty archers, bowed, and cautiously approached the vicinity of the animal.

Seeing that Lin Huo had already moved, Wan Gang waved his hand forward, and the spearmen scattered and slowly moved forward.

"If you can meet a big sloth, it should be unlucky for you, a beast, to borrow your life today to feed my men." Wang Lang said secretly.

The multi-ton sloth was unaware of the danger approaching him, and the starchy trunk of the palm tree made him forget about it.

Generally speaking, few animals can threaten him with such a size, and even carnivorous dinosaurs have to shy away when they see such a large sloth.

Seeing that the archers were ready, Wang Lang waved at Lin Huo and asked him to attack.

Lin Huo nodded at Wang Lang and said in a low voice, "Shoot!" ”

"Whoosh!"

Twenty arrows whizzed towards the large sloth, and its huge size was not easy to miss.

The sudden attack immediately made the big sloth panic, and he roared to find the enemy who attacked him.

But everyone hid it, leaving the big sloth with nothing but angry roaring around him.

Shot by twenty arrows, this big sloth can still move freely, which frightened Wang Lang, he never expected this guy to be so rough and thick-skinned.

Seeing that the first round of attacks had no effect, Lin Huo immediately launched a second round of attacks.

This unlucky big sloth, in the blink of an eye, was full of arrows, and blood flowed down its gray fur, making its breathing a little rapid.

It tried to find out the enemy who was attacking it, but it found nothing around but the sound of birds, and it was terrified and wanted to leave this terrible place.

Wang Lang sensed that his prey was planning to escape, and no longer hiding, he rushed out of the low bushes with the spearmen, and rushed towards the big sloth with his teeth and claws.

The bleeding big sloth roared angrily when it saw that it was surrounded by this group of small animals, and realized that it was this group of creatures that had just attacked him.

The huge body, covered in scars, rushed towards several soldiers, trying to kill the creatures that had caused it pain.

However, before it could run to the enemy's side, seven or eight spears flew behind it, piercing both of its hind legs in an instant.

There was a loud "boom".

The heavy body fell to the ground hard, and the body became a little convulsive due to the pain.

Seeing the prey to the end, everyone was immediately excited, and the spearmen rushed forward, stabbing the big sloth with the spears in their hands, and in the blink of an eye, the animal that was still alive just now became a blur of flesh and blood.

Wang Lang took the short sword and cut the throat of the big sloth at once, ending its pain.

The people rejoiced at the hunt of such a large prey, and several soldiers took daggers to dismantle the huge prey.

"Peel off the skin, it's useful." Wang Lang commanded.

Such a large animal skin is a very rare thing, and as long as it is treated, it is a good bowstring material.

The soldiers carefully disemboweled the big sloth, and the strong smell of blood made people smell sick.

Wang Lang frowned, such a strong smell of blood was likely to attract other carnivores.

"Leave four people to deal with this thing, and the others are on guard around!" Wang Lang commanded.

At this time, Lin Huo walked towards this side with the archers and joined the vigilant team.

Wang Lang's eyes noticed the kind of palm tree that the big sloth had eaten just now, walked to the side of a palm tree with a short sword, and stabbed it down with a sword.

Originally, I thought that this tree was very hard, but after stabbing it, I found that this tree was as fragile as tofu, and it was easy to stab into it.

Wang Lang slashed hard with his short sword, and suddenly cut a huge opening, and pushed hard, and the palm tree more than three meters high was easily pushed.

Lin Huo walked to Wang Lang's side, looked at Wang Lang's strange behavior, and asked puzzledly, "Lang, what are you doing here?" ”

Wang Lang did not speak, but squatted down and used his short sword to dig a piece of white material from the trunk of the palm tree.

I carefully put this thing in my hand and put it under my nose and smelled it, but it didn't smell much.

Wang Lang broke off a small piece and licked it lightly with his tongue, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's sweet." Wang Lang muttered to himself.

"What's sweet?" Lin Huo scratched his head and looked at Wang Lang suspiciously.

"You try this too!" Wang Lang handed the piece to Lin Huo.

Looking at this white substance, Lin Huo tasted it, and the faint sweetness made him unable to describe what it was like at this time, and he ate a large piece in just a few bites.

"Lang, what is this, it's so delicious." Lin Huo asked.

"I don't know what this thing is, I saw that thing eating this just now, I was just curious to come and take a look, but I didn't expect to really find a plant that can be eaten." Wang Lang said slowly.

"Shall we get this thing back?" Lin Huo asked.

Although it was rich in starch and powdered sugar, the expedition's current situation made it impossible to take the palm tree away.
