Chapter 43: Heavy setback

The elephant family seemed to graze on the valley floor very comfortably, and Yang Zilu counted the number repeatedly, and there were a total of thirty-four elephants. Asian elephants are the most distinguishable, and female elephants do not have long tusks. Yang Zilu counted out at once that the elephant family consists of nine male elephants, fifteen female elephants, and ten baby elephants.

Yang Zilu observed the surrounding terrain and found that these elephants were really lucky, this is a relatively flat valley, there are small hills nearby, only there is a cliff on the mountain at the mouth of the valley, but this cliff is still composed of valleys. Therefore, if you want to drive the elephant to the cliff, you have to go around in a big circle, and the road is seven or eight hundred meters away, which is not an ordinary effort.

It is estimated that because of this, the original Shanyue tribe made the elephant adapt to the flame a little, knowing that this was just a paper tiger, plus the cliff was behind, and chose to resist, after all, the torch is so palm-sized flame, the elephant's skin is rough and thick, and a small-caliber gun may not be able to penetrate his skin, let alone the power of the palm-sized flame that even people can't burn to death.

However, it is really difficult to deal with so many elephants, but it is a heavy blow to Yang Zilu's prestige now, not to mention that Yang Zilu's current reputation is only slightly improved, and it can't withstand much of a blow.

"Master, you should divide and attack!" Kan Pingtian, who was on Yang Zilu's side, suggested in a deep voice.

"Can you get a share?" Yang Zilu was puzzled by this, if he didn't know if these elephants chased half of them and went back, even if he ran away in vain, the person who went to lead the elephants must be full of complaints.

"How do you know if you don't try this, I'll try it myself!" Kan Pingtian stretched out his hand to take the hunting bow from the Imperial Guard, and said with a resolute face.

"Use this!" Yang Zilu took out the crossbow, thanks to Kan Pingtian, who took it out of Yang Zilu's house.

"Nope! It's easier to use this one! Kan Pingtian smiled, his slender fingers slowly stroking the bowstring, as if silently telling something.

"Then use this too!" Mitsu took off the bony wrench on his finger and handed it to Kan Pingtian.

Kan Pingtian was also not polite, and nodded to Yu Yu to express his gratitude. took the wrench, put it on his thumb, nodded to Yang Zilu and said, "Master, you take someone down to prepare!" ”

Yang Zilu pursed her lips and patted Kan Pingtian's shoulder, silence is better than sound at this time.

Yang Zilu ordered to take people to the forest near the foot of the cliff to ambush, and at this moment the Shanyue people couldn't help but admire this thin slave.

Seeing Kan Pingtian appear, the elephant didn't react much, only an elephant rushed to Kan Pingtian and raised its trunk high, letting out a hiss, as if to warn Kan Pingtian that this was their territory, don't get too close.

Kan Pingtian didn't pay attention to it, and moved forward very calmly and slowly. But the elephant did not warn again, but focused on the hay under his feet. Happily, he rolled the hay into a circle, grabbed the grass ball with his elephant trunk and put it in his mouth. Obviously, for them, Kan Pingtian's small point is not as attractive as the hay under their feet.

When Kan Pingtian slowly walked to a distance of about 100 meters from the elephants, the elephant herd began to react. An elephant rushed forward a few steps, Kan Pingtian hurriedly turned around, spread his steps and ran back. But after running for about twenty meters, he couldn't hear any movement, Kan Pingtian turned around with some doubts, only to see that the elephant had returned to feeding just now, and it turned out that it was just a scare.

It made Yang Zilu and other bystanders sweat.

Kan Pingtian rested for a while, and then moved forward again, but this time it was much smarter. For the scare of the elephant, just turn around and see that the elephant is just scared and does not move. Kan Pingtian had reached about 70 meters when the elephant began to twitch a little. Kan Pingtian quickly raised his hunting bow and threw an arrow in the direction of the elephant herd, without looking at the result, and quickly ran towards the meeting without looking back.

I saw that the arrow landed on the body of an elephant, but it was obviously not as deep as the flesh, and it looked like it was crumbling on the elephant's body. The elephant that felt the sting was furious, let out a hiss, and led the nine male elephants to charge towards Kan Pingtian alone. Female elephants are left behind to protect their baby elephants, which are still in their infancy.

Nine elephants galloped, even more majestic than a hundred war horses. It was like rolling thunder, the smoke was boiling, and the earth trembled at the feet of the elephants. That momentum, not to mention the immersive Kan Pingtian, the Shanyue people hiding in the woods all felt frightened and sweated for Kan Pingtian.

What's even more surprising is that this big guy who seems to be moving slowly can run much faster than a human. But fortunately, Kan Pingtian was smart and used some small trees along the way as obstacles. Although they were all bulldozed by bulldozer-like elephants without exception, they also slowed down the elephants a little, so that they were not caught up by the elephants before they came to the ambush site.

This made Yang Zilu and them breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Zilu gestured to the back and shouted: "Go and prepare, the elephant is almost here." ”

Everyone was busy and nervous to prepare, Yang Zilu picked up a torch the size of a bat and was just about to light it. Yu Yu suddenly stopped Yang Zilu and said, "Master, look! Those elephants are gone! Don't chase anymore! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to look over, only to see that those elephants were chasing near the mouth of the valley and no longer chasing. Kan Pingtian was also anxious, but just now he threw aside the hunting bow and bow and arrow in order to facilitate his escape, and now he wanted to provoke with a bow and arrow and had no tools, so anxious that fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. However, as soon as the person was in a hurry, his head turned to write quickly, Kan Pingtian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way. Kan Pingtian glanced a few times at the ground, quickly ran to a place and picked up an angular stone, risked rushing to the elephant's place of no more than twenty meters, quickly stopped his footsteps, and threw his hand hard.

However, the elephant's skin was rough and thick, and the distance was indeed a little far, and the stone was thrown on the elephant, and the elephant did not react, and continued to go back slowly. Yang Zilu also keenly discovered that none of the nine elephants had arrows on their bodies. In other words, the arrow just now fell during the run, and I am afraid that no matter how deep it enters the flesh, it will not be more than a few inches deep.

Yang Zilu couldn't help but be a little frustrated, could it be that he worked so hard and was useless?

"Brother Yang, are you going back?" The black bear hesitated, but still stood up and said.

"Yes! Brother Yang, people should do what they can. A Shanyue man who was not convinced by Yang Zilu stood up and said proudly. His words were more sarcastic than comforting.

"Brother Yang, don't be weird." The black bear is honest, sandwiched in the middle, quite embarrassing.

Yang Zilu gathered his mind, shook his head and said, "What they said is not wrong, we only have one day's food!" This time I miscalculated the elephant's capabilities, sorry guys! ”

Seeing Yang Zilu's sincere apology, Shanyue people are relatively simple in the end, and it is not good to continue to be sarcastic.

"Let's go back!" Yang Zilu's voice was full of helplessness and decadence.

But at this time, a sudden opposition sounded, "Wait! We'll have a chance! ”
