Chapter 176: When a straw boat borrows an arrow
Tracing animal tracks is a technical task, but tracking mammoths is not a difficult task.
They were running in a hurry, with heavy feet, and there were footprints on the ground, and as long as they followed the footprints, they could be found.
Wang Yang and the others came to yesterday's location, where there were many traces of fighting, dried blood, and fallen trees.
Wang Yang designated the front and chased after it.
It was the north, a place that Wang Yang had never visited.
Wang Yang has always been very vigilant about the unfamiliar environment, because you never know what monsters you will encounter, and you don't know if you can beat it.
The environment here is almost the same, the trees no longer shade the sky and the sun, and the coniferous forests are dominant, sparse and sparse like a plate of loose sand.
Wang Yang asked everyone to be vigilant to avoid disturbing the small animals passing by, the purpose of this trip was completely on the mammoth, and no mistakes were allowed.
They walked and walked, through a series of trees, and finally, after an hour, approached the mammoth.
This area is already very deep, and it should go beyond the canyon, and to the side, there is the familiar area of the left mountain.
The mammoth's footprints are getting shallower here, indicating that they have stopped running and are living nearby.
Wang Yang told everyone to disperse, looking around, and asked them to understand that if they see small animals, don't catch them, don't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons.
This point is extremely important, and he has been warned again and again before leaving, so Wang Yang deliberately drew a lot of pictures to explain this meaning.
Everyone understood, so they quietly searched.
Soon after, the osteologist and the exorcist came to Wang Yang's side and drew a picture of a mammoth on the ground. They found mammoths.
Wang Yang didn't say a word and began to look around for companions. After gathering them, follow the osteologist and the chasers to the mammoth's station.
They hid behind a large tree. Looked over.
In the open space ahead, more than a dozen mammoths are looking for something to eat, and the mammoths are eating in a very peculiar way, not like ordinary elephants, but using their tusks to pierce into the bark, and with a light pick, a piece of the bark falls off.
Then roll it into the mouth with an elephant's trunk.
It seems that they are well adapted to this environment and use their abilities.
Of course, they prefer young leaves, fruits, and grasses. For example, because of its size, baby elephants have been eating grass with their heads down.
And the elephant will go and roll some branches to eat.
There are not many leaves suitable for them to eat, this area is dominated by coniferous forests, mostly coniferous, but there are still some trees with young leaves, more realistically, belonging to mixed coniferous forests.
However, it is conceivable that as long as the temperature continues to be cold, it will gradually turn into a complete coniferous forest. Looking at the trend, it is a "bright coniferous forest" composed of pine and larch.
What is a "bright taiga"? In fact, it means that there is a lot of sunlight in the forest, and you can bask in the sun everywhere, while the dark coniferous forest grows densely. It usually consists of fir trees.
For mammoths, the most suitable food environment should be a little further south.
Wang Yang observed for a while and felt quite disappointed. Because in his impression, ancient animals had to be very big. Strange and quirky.
In fact, many of the animals he saw were huge. So big that Wang Yang had to rub his eyes, such as the cave lion.
But this time he was very disappointed, the mammoth is not big, about the same size as a modern elephant, and it is not a little shocking for Wang Yang, who has entered the zoo.
When he first saw the baby elephants, he thought they were very young, but now when he sees a herd, he realizes that the mammoths are nothing more than a herd of elephants in fur coats.
In any case, Wang Yang still had to catch it, he painted a few pictures on the ground, and told everyone that it was enough to catch an adult elephant, not a baby elephant, and let them grow up.
This principle is similar to breeding, except that one is in captivity, and the other is equivalent to wild stocking.
The crowd did not think of going there, but just obeyed Wang Yang's orders.
Wang Yang selected an adult elephant, then separated from the crowd and suddenly attacked.
In an instant, spear and arrow arrows flew into the sky, stabbing one side of the mammoth into a sieve.
They basically used spear throwers, and in order to concentrate their fire accurately, they had to abandon the slings, which could cause more damage.
The effect is also very obvious, thirty spears and arrows, except for seven or eight that missed, in fact, about twenty spears and arrows, all of which hit the elephant.
It faced the side of the crowd, and it was suddenly covered with dense spears and arrows.
The elephant herd was suddenly attacked, panic and anger broke out instantly, they discovered the source of the attack, and immediately launched an attack on the area under the leadership of the male elephant.
"Knock knock~" The earth shook like a shake, shaking the picture again and again.
Wang Yang was as surprised as the sharp-toothed tiger who attacked the elephant herd yesterday, but he didn't expect the elephant herd to be so irritable, and in the face of the attack, it was not to flee, but to counterattack.
At this time, everyone panicked and looked at Wang Yang blankly.
"What are you looking at! Separate and run away! ”
Wang Yang roared angrily and ran to the right first. And the people scattered as birds and beasts, and ran away.
Seeing that everyone was separated, the elephants immediately divided into four teams to pursue, one of which went straight to Wang Yang.
Needless to say, the speed of Wang Yang's escape, what did he practice in vain in those years? The feet were like oil, as fast as they were, but the mammoth was not slow, and he did not shake off after chasing for two minutes.
"It's not okay to run like this, you have to find a dense forest to limit its speed."
Wang Yang's eyes searched everywhere for possible routes, and at the same time, he kept scolding a documentary he had made.
"Bastard! Isn't it a mistake to shoot the mammoth so weak and so cowardly! ”
Soon, Wang Yang found a dense forest, which was not dense for Wang Yang, but it was too narrow for a large mammoth.
And it's all big trees, it can't all be knocked down, it has to go around.
In this way, with its slow starting speed like a turtle, it was thrown off by Wang Yang in three or two clicks.
Wang Yang threw it away, without saying a word, and quickly went back around the road, he had to take down the wounded spear elephant.
He ran and ran, and suddenly met Xiaohong, who was running together, and he said "woo" to Xiaohong twice and returned with her.
They returned to the elephant colony, where only three females, two calves, and the injured male elephant remained.
The bull elephant didn't look so bad, and although the spear and arrow were sharp, it was difficult to penetrate its thick fat, and it was estimated that it was only a minor wound that could not be fatal.
Wang Yang is not greedy for attack, now he has the ability to attack, and he can continue to attack with spears and arrows.
But he didn't want to startle the snake, one more attack of spears and arrows was not enough to see, and if he wanted to attack, he had to be a bunch of spears and arrows.
He began to quickly shuttle around the neighborhood, gathering the scattered crowd, and this time only a dozen people had gathered, and some people probably didn't follow up for a while.
In the distance, the elephant chasing Wang Yang was returning, and other elephants appeared nearby.
If we get together again and fence the injured elephants for protection, things will be in trouble.
"Don't miss the opportunity, you won't miss it." Wang Yang flashed a hint of fierceness, waved his hand, and led everyone to rush out from behind the big tree, quickly approaching the elephant herd, and at the same time throwing spears and arrows again.
"Cough cough~" More than a dozen spears and arrows whistled in midair.
The elephant screamed and ran to the other end, but it was still too slow, and a dozen spears and arrows filled its butt and hind legs.
Wang Yang felt a pain when he looked at it, not to mention how depressed the elephant was.
It was so frightened that it broke away from the herd and ran into the distance.
Wang Yang wanted to chase again, but the other elephants had already rushed to this side, and everyone scattered again.
But it seems that with the experience just now, everyone tacitly got rid of the elephant's pursuit and came here again.
The injured elephant is gone, and along with it are the baby elephant and the mother elephant, presumably fearing that another member of the elephant will get lost, so they chased after it.
"So united!" Wang Yang muttered, facing a lone elephant is much easier than facing a few.
He didn't talk nonsense and walked forward in search of blood.
It can be seen that on the way forward, some spears and arrows hit the branches of trees and scattered all over the ground, but fortunately they were not broken and could still be used.
The crowd picked up and chased, and soon found the trace of the elephant.
And happily, they met the Exorcist and another member.
In this way, everyone ran all the way and attacked the injured elephant again.
The elephant's wounded side was attacked again, and this time it was really frightened, because there was a wound left on the part where the spear and arrow had fallen off, and when it was attacked again, it had no fur protection, and the attack was very thorough, and it went straight into the body.
It screamed, turned around, and aimed its unhurt side at the group.
Everyone didn't say a word, and there were more than a dozen spears and arrows.
At this time, it was like a straw boat borrowing arrows, one side was covered with spears and arrows, and the back was full of spears and arrows, and even the front side was hit by arrows in many places.
And it seems to want to redefine the idiom of straw boat borrowing arrows, so it turned around and faced everyone with an uninjured face, driven by fear and anger, and made a life-threatening impact.
Wang Yang admired the characters who dedicated their lives to art, and looked at the mammoth that rushed towards him, and reverently threw spears and arrows to help it redefine the idiom.
It was also hit by an arrow in the front, blinded in the eye, slowed down, and spun in place.
The female elephants and baby elephants completely lost their fighting spirit, they had never seen such an attack before, they were too frightened, too weird, and fled in the wilderness.
Wang Yang did not chase it, but took a wooden spear, quietly approached the mammoth, stabbed it into its body, and then quickly retreated.
This time it was really different from using the corpse for testing, the attack of the wooden spear was very effective, and the tip of the spear was tens of centimeters deep into the body of the mammoth.
The crowd followed suit, and the mammoth was mortally wounded.
The other bulls chased after them, attacked the crowd again, dispersed them, and then looked at their companions sadly, and turned to chase the mother and calf. (To be continued......)
