Chapter 38: Exploring the Valley
This time, Chen Chao not only brought the knives, guns, bows and arrows collected at home, but also brought his eldest son Chen Long. This is the son of his son who is not afraid of tigers, and he also has the intention of exercising his son's courage, and he is ready to train Chen Long to become the successor of the tea horse plank road. At the same time, Chen Chao thought to himself, this is different from the vast prairie in the north, and there are only a dozen mountain wolves in the south, so the danger factor of this operation should not be large.
Under the guidance of Sun Hunter, the group climbed over the two hills behind the village and arrived at the mountain pass that entered the Great Mountains.
"When there is a situation later, everyone remember not to panic, everyone try to get together as much as possible and form a circle to defend against the enemy together." Before entering the mountain, Li Xing admonished.
"Then the archers will shoot in the center, and the swordsmen will defend outside." Chen Chao added.
After everyone responded, under the leadership of Sun Hunter, they stepped lightly on the mountain path.
Meteorite Valley is not located deep in the mountains, but between two mountains not far from Dushu Village. This is just a normal valley, and when Sun Hunter was a child, he often went there to pick some wild fruits and hunt some hares. In less than an hour, Sun Hunter quietly led everyone to the ridge on the side of the valley. This is still necessary to avoid the valley avenue and detour the bend, otherwise it will take less time.
Their journey was surprisingly smooth, and they didn't encounter any beasts, which made everyone secretly amazed. Standing on the ridge, their jaws dropped when they saw it.
I have to say that the place brought by Sun Hunter is indeed an excellent location: under the small cliff of the ridge where everyone stands is the middle of the valley, and on this small cliff there is a clear view of the valley.
This ordinary valley has become very unusual because of the meteorite. On the flat ground in the valley, there was a deep crater as big as a room smashed by meteorites, and there was not a single plant in a radius of 100 meters around the pit. Grass grows 100 meters away, and trees grow 100 meters away.
At this time, it has reached the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the autumn in the south is not as severe and depressed as in the north, but the general leaves have become sparse and dull yellow, but the trees within a radius of two miles from the mouth of this pit are all lush and verdant. This is in stark contrast to the depression in the outermost ring, the bare within a 100-meter radius of the crater.
What shocked everyone's nerves even more was that there were nearly twenty mountain wolves squatting by the mouth of the pit, different from the common mountain wolves, this group of wolves all had a moist coat and a thick skeleton, and their physique was far better than those strong and tall snow wolves in the snow. Among them, the first big male wolf is the most majestic, and the pinch of white hair under his neck is eye-catching and easy to identify.
What is even more surprising is that there are forty or fifty domestic dogs standing on the periphery of the wolves, and these dogs are baring their teeth and fierce eyes. They weren't looking at the wolves, they were looking at the wolves with the same goal, and they were all looking at the outside of the pit. The dogs on the periphery of the wolves have become a layer of guards.
What they will never forget is that in the meadow 100 meters away in the center, hundreds of large and small animals gathered, including wild boars, badgers, weasels, foxes, goats, pheasants, rabbits, etc., all the animals you can see in the mountains are gathered here.
If you show this to your children, they will be amazed. Wow! Isn't this the animals of the forest having a sports party? But in Li Xing's eyes, a creepy fear rose up. Because they felt the tense atmosphere, looking at the corpses scattered in the valley in the distance, they felt a thick dead air.
This group of animals is actually fighting for something with their lives. Even the usually timid rabbits also probe their brains, and have the urge to try at the wolves and dogs, which is not creepy, and there is a strong strange smell everywhere in this valley.
Among the animals on the periphery, the most powerful is the wild boar. The twenty or so boars were sturdy, covered with a thick layer of dry mud as their armor, and their two long fangs were their indestructible weapons. At this time, they are like hungry domestic pigs in the pole pig house, they are all screaming, but their manes are full of evil spirit.
The two bison and the four leopards next to them are also not to be underestimated. There are also more than 20 pangolins, all of which are covered in thick armor, and the wolves and dogs should also have a headache.
As for those weak animals, in addition to the more than 100 rats whose combat effectiveness is good, like the group of pheasants and hares, they are completely playing soy sauce. I really don't understand, they will become the belly at any time, why do they fight hard in this soy sauce?
Of all the animals in the field, the group of wolfdogs is of course the dominant group. But now they are standing in the middle of the pit, becoming the target of public criticism, and the situation of this group of ants is not optimistic.
"Hu!"
In the midst of the confrontation between the beasts, suddenly a shouting voice appeared from the cliff.
It turned out to be the Sun Hunter, who found his faithful companion among the beasts, the Hound Tiger. Surprised, and afraid of Ah Hu's death, this Sun hunter forgot for a moment and shouted the name of his dog, eager to recall his former loyal good buddy.
"Get down, get down for me!" Li Xing had rich combat experience and quick response, and when all the animals looked up in unison, these more than ten people were already lying on the ground.
"Sun Zhengtang, you stand up and continue to call your Ah Hu!" Li Xing kicked Sun Hunter, who was lying on the ground, and shouted, the main hall is the name of Sun Hunter.
"What? What the? Sun Zhengtang looked puzzled, do you think it's cool to keep an eye on all the animals? Am I wrong? Brother Xing's face is not like blaming and sarcastic, but why do you ask yourself to stand up and call again? Sun Zhengtang was stunned.
Li Xing lowered his voice and explained: "You stand up and scream again, let the animals below see it, and let them mistakenly think that you are the only one here." If they knew there were a bunch of us hiding here, who knew what might happen. You stand up and drink a few more times, and then pretend to walk down the hill. Just go! ”
So that's the case, Sun Zhengtang suddenly realized, he hurriedly stood up and called a few times to Ah Hu under the cliff. It's a pity that the faithful fellows of the past were unmoved by the call of the old master.
Disappointed, Sun Zhengtang exclaimed: "Ah Hu, you go home with me!" While pretending to go down to the foot of the mountain, he took a few steps, and then he quietly crawled back to the crowd, and lay on the ground in the same way, secretly watching the good play in the valley.
"Brother Xing, why doesn't Ah Hu listen to my call now? It only looked at me once, and it didn't even bother to take a second look. Sun Zhengtang asked softly in frustration.
"When I observed the dogs' minds, they didn't look like they had fallen into an evil spirit, they all behaved as usual, and their eyes were clear. Surrounded by beasts, there was a faint look of joy in the eyes of those dogs. Li Xing replied softly.
"Joy?"
"Yes, it's joy!"
"I've seen this before." Li Xing pondered for a while and said: "Remembering the comrades-in-arms who died in rebellion against the old society, their eyes have a sense of déjà vu with the eyes of the dogs below. ”
"What kind of eyes are that?" Someone next to me asked.
"That's the kind of look that only comes out after finding the true meaning of one's life, at least for those who think they've found the true meaning. A look of death without regrets! ”
"Have those dogs found the true meaning of their lives?"
"Who knows! Let's wait and see! ”
It is said that all the animals in the valley, disturbed by Sun Zhengtang's accident, immediately calmed down after the slightest disturbance, and after seeing Sun Zhengtang walking down the mountain and disappearing, the animals put all their hearts and minds on the things they longed for in their hearts.
On the surface, it has returned to its previous state, but the hearts of some animals have been disturbed by Sun Zhengtang. Because animals with a little bit of intelligence are afraid of humans. Fear of the terrible hands of man; Fear of tools and weapons in the hands of humans; fearful of human wisdom and treachery; Fear of human learning and adaptability??????
Eventually, a bison could not hold back, it was afraid of what it longed for, and it was more afraid of humans than the wolves and dogs in front of it. This honest cow thought to himself, if you want to stop my yearning, then let's fight happily!
The sound of hooves sounded, and the bison rushed like a dreadnought chariot towards the wolves and dogs, towards the mouth of the pit, and fearlessly galloped towards the desire in his heart.
After a few low howls, the big wolf with a pinch of white hair on his chest and the two wolves beside him jumped out, and the three wolves rushed forward in an inverted zigzag, the white hair was behind, and the two wolves ran forward side by side, while the other wolves and dogs did not move.
At a distance of less than 100 meters, the bison was about to collide with the two wolves at the head of the row in a matter of seconds. As soon as the buffalo's head lowered, the muscles in the cow's neck tightened, and the bull's eyes were red, and it was ready to collide with these two wolves.
Just as they were about to be hit by the behemoth of the bison, the two wolves flashed outward at the same time, narrowly avoiding it. And the white hair at the back of the inverted glyph jumped, and jumped on the back of the cow.
Although the white fur tried desperately to tighten the wolf's claws, the huge inertia still caused it to slide straight from the front back to the back of the cow. The wolf's claws scratched several blood marks on the cow's back, and although the remaining momentum was not exhausted, by the time it slid to the cow's back, the white fur had successfully stabilized its body and the slide had slowed down.
The bison didn't feel the heat of the scratches on its back for a moment, but it clearly felt a hateful wolf on its back. In addition to hating, under habit, the bison flung away with a big tail like a fly on its back.
Some people who are not aware of their habits, and some who are inadvertently flawed, are most likely to be used by the enemy and deeply hurt themselves. The bison's habit of throwing the ox's tail to drive away things has exposed itself to the enemy in an unprecedented "broken belly".
With its tail raised high, the bison's "chrysanthemum", or to be more precise, "gerbera" is completely exposed in front of its white-haired paws. When he didn't give in, Bai Mao dug it in with one claw, and then jumped to the ground along the inertia.
With this pull, the wolf's paws brought out a mass of red and white things, and a piece of this thing was connected to the bison's buttocks* eye, and the white fur pulled out the bison's intestines in this way. Unlike monkeys, who have flexible hands, they can't use such ruthless tricks as "monkeys stealing peaches", so they can only use the "anal digging skill", which is a trick for wolves and hyenas to deal with large animals. Coincidentally, even Bai Mao didn't expect it to be so easy to get hold of this time.
Although the bison felt severe pain in its abdomen, under the action of inertia, it had no time to do other responses, so it could only stop its hooves and rush forward. The pulling force that rushed forward hurt it, and the bison felt an unprecedented "pleasure" in its belly and belly. After three or five steps, the bison was already unconscious, his feet were weak, and he was allowed to hit the ground by inertia.
Seeing that the corbel was shaking all the way, and the white intestines on the ground were mixed with thick blood stains and dragged all the way, Li Xing and everyone on the cliff gasped like the animals. Chen Chao hurriedly covered his trembling son's eyes, and thought secretly: "I knew that the scene was so bloody, so I shouldn't have brought Chen Long with me." ”
"Damn! That white hair is so hanging! One sighed softly and said the common voice of everyone.
