Chapter 061: On the Road
Every exchange day is the time when the creatures of the Great Wilderness are most excited. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Countless hairless monsters emerged from the village where they were hiding, and then walked unobstructed on the wilderness.
At this time, the beasts knew that their time for hunting had come.
A group of wild wolves targeted Wang Hao's team. The wolf king is very smart and knows that the winning rate of fighting them hard now is very low. So it's not close, it's just a distance of hundreds of meters, and it falls far behind.
Based on past experience, the wolf king knew that this team of people had been on the road for a day during the day, and when it was night, it was impossible to be as strong as now, as long as they were patient, they could always find an opportunity to kill them.
Wang Hu caught up with the team from behind with a piece of fresh meat, Wang Hao looked at him and asked, "Failed?" ”
"Failed, this group of wolf cubs is very vigilant, they don't get close to the team within 100 meters at all, and the bow and arrow can't be aimed at all when they hide in the grass." Wang Hu said in annoyance, and casually threw the meat in his hand to the ground.
A saber-toothed rat came out of the grass, bit a large piece of fresh meat and ran back, but before he could take a few steps, he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground and convulsed.
"Then you can sleep first, just work hard at night and keep watch for the night." Wang Hao patted him on the shoulder and said. Dozens of wolves, in Wang Hao's opinion, is really not a big problem, since it can't be eliminated now, it's a big deal to be troublesome at night.
Ten wheelbarrows, one of which was specially cleared out and vacated for Wang Hu and Wang Zhu to sleep. The people who will keep watch tonight will be the two of them.
The people on the Great Wilderness were not so picky, they spread a layer of grass on the board, and then Wang Hu covered his face with leaves, although the wooden car was very bumpy, but after a while they still entered the dream.
When the first humans picked up rocks and learned to use tools, humans embarked on a very different evolutionary path than the rest of the animals. You don't need to evolve fangs, you don't need to evolve claws, you just need to learn how to use tools. This evolutionary path, tested over tens of thousands of years, has proven to be the most correct evolutionary path.
This road is known as the road of science and technology.
The path of science and technology often only needs a little change to become completely different. In the past, the teams participating in the exchange day were targeted by wolves in the wilderness, and the best result was exhaustion. If you're unlucky, you might be wiped out.
Because the wolves may not be able to beat the strong wilderness people head-on, but the wolves are very patient, they can follow you all the time, so that you must be vigilant at all times, so that you don't even have a chance to rest at night.
People will always be sleepy and tired, and as soon as the fatigue is revealed, the opportunity for the wolves will come.
But now, the patience that the wolves were proud of seemed to have failed in front of Wang Village.
After a day's journey, Wang Hao and his team were lucky enough to find a mountain col to camp.
Sprinkled with insect repellent and snake repellent powder made by Wang Hao all around, and after a rustling sound, all the poisonous insects in the vicinity ran out.
After dinner, Wang Hao and the others rested early. At this time, the harassment of the wolves began.
They understand that they don't need to kill these hairless monsters today, as long as they can keep them awake all night, then they can try to sneak up on them tomorrow night.
Twenty meters is a clever distance. If the hairless monsters want to rush up and fight the wolves, then the wolves can scatter and run away. If the hairless monsters dare to ignore them, the hungry wolves will pounce on them to give those who are resting a memory that will never be forgotten.
If it were another village, the methods that these wolves had tried in the past might be effective again today. Today, though, it's clear that they've found the wrong opponent.
After Wang Hu put a clay pot of water on the fire, he stood up, picked up his bow and arrows and said to Wang Zhu: "Pillar, don't compete, see who kills more." ”
"Compare to compare, who is afraid of you!" Wang Zhu also picked up the bow and arrow, and said with a smile.
A fresh bamboo tube was taken out, the cork was removed, and a stick soaked in wolf hair was dipped in dark green juice and smeared on the tip of the arrow.
The wolves have approached a distance of about ten meters, such a short distance, through the bonfire, you can already clearly see the hideous expressions of each wolf.
The sound of two bowstrings sounded almost simultaneously, accompanied by the screams of two wild wolves.
"One!" The two of them said a few words in unison, then glanced at each other, and quickly picked up another arrow shaft.
"Two!"
"Three, four!"
By the time the fourth sound was reached, the wolves had already broken down and fled.
The two laughed and put their bows back on their backs, and returned to the fire, where they found that the water had been boiled.
Wang Hu raised his eyebrows at Wang Zhu, and he didn't know where to find a large folded leaf, and when he opened it, he saw that a handful of green dried leaves were wrapped in it.
"Tea! Didn't Hao say a few days ago that there was only a small point, where did you get it? Wang Zhu asked with a look of surprise.
"Actually, Hao secretly got a bamboo pipe for my dad, which was hidden by my dad as a baby, and I poured it out a little by the way when I left." Wang Hu said as he poured the tea leaves into the boiling water. After a while, the rich aroma of tea wafted out.
In the wilderness, there is no drink, when Wang Hao was ecstatic a few days ago to find a few wild tea trees on the mountain across the river, the next day Wang Hu and they were impressed by this drink called tea.
At first, it was a little bitter, but after swallowing, it was full of relish.
Maoqiu rubbed his sleepy eyes and smelled the fragrance of tea, and obediently sat down on a small stone, and Wang Hu quickly scooped a bowl of tea and put it on the stone in front of him.
I don't know why, the hairballs that are usually very naughty, once they drink tea, they are very honest and quiet, and they are like two balls in peacetime.
Wang Hu and Wang Zhu each brought a bowl of tea and drank it quietly.
Wang Zhu looked at the ten wheelbarrows placed in the innermost part of the col and sighed: "On this exchange day, we will definitely be able to scare the rest of the villages, who in their village has ever heard of cars." ”
"That's it!" When Wang Hu heard this, he came to his senses and said: "It's not just the car, if they can go to our village to have a look, they will probably be scared stupid." At the beginning, when Hao told us that he was going to move the village, I thought he was going to dig a hole in the ground for us to live in, who knows, you can actually use wood and grass to make a house, so much wood and so much grass on the wilderness, why didn't we think of this method before. ”
"Hehe, Hao Ke said, after I find your daughter-in-law this time, we will make a brick house when we go back. At that time, even cooking in the house was not afraid. Wang Zhu quipped.
"Hehe, Hao said, he won't rob me, I must find the strongest mother-in-law. This time, the food brought by our village can be exchanged for ten of the strongest mothers-in-law, and when the time comes, I will envy the men of the rest of the village. Wang Hu said with a look of longing.
After waiting for a long time and not hearing Wang Zhu's response, Wang Hu turned his head to look at him and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
"Did you hear anything?" Wang Zhu asked with a solemn face.
Seeing his expression, Wang Hu also pricked up his ears and listened for a while.
"It seems that there are a few screams from a distance, and it seems that there are other villages camping nearby." Wang Hu said. However, he didn't care at all why there was a scream in the distance.
After listening to Wang Hu's words, Wang Zhu said: "No, you listen carefully, the screams are getting closer and closer, and there is another sound. ”
Wang Hu calmed down and listened for a while and said, "What other sound is there, it's just the rustle of leaves blown by the wind, you are too suspicious." ”
As soon as he finished saying these words, Wang Hu was also stunned, there seemed to be no wind at all today. Moreover, this mountain is a barren mountain, and I checked it myself before it was dark, and there was not a single tree. So, where does the rustle of leaves being blown by the wind come from?
"Not good, swarm!" Wang Hu and Wang Zhu stood up at the same time and exclaimed.
In the Great Wilderness, if you participate in an exchange day, there are three most terrible things.
The first is to encounter creatures of level 2 or higher. If it did, it would be a disaster.
The second is the fear of being targeted by savages.
Savages are not furry, blood-drinking monsters.
At the beginning, they were also people from the Great Wilderness with their own villages and surnames.
However, it may be because of natural disasters, or because of military disasters, that they have lost their shelter in their villages, and at the same time, they have also lost their surnames. Then such people who have no village and no surname are called savages by the people of the Great Wilderness. If they can't get their surnames back from their masters, their descendants will always be savages.
If the average lifespan of the Great Wilderness people is thirty-five years, then the average lifespan of the savages will be less than thirty years.
Because of the harsh living environment, they are the most fierce warriors, both men and women. It is also because of the harsh living environment that the savages have developed the means to do everything.
The wildlings hunted, but they preferred to snatch food from the villages of the Great Wilderness.
Every exchange day is the time when the wildlings go out most frequently. They gathered hundreds of people at every turn, and after robbing the villages participating in the exchange day, the benign ones would still spare the lives of those villagers. If they encounter the most vicious, the robbed will even be reduced to the food of the savages.
However, the wildlings seldom come out at night, because they can't see far at night.
And today, what Wang Hao and they encountered was the most troublesome and terrifying third. That's the swarm.
