Chapter 367: Delta
In the face of the fierce offensive of the leopards, Wang Yang and the others were not in a hurry, calmly responded, and more dangerous situations had been experienced, but now they were just surrounded by a group of leopards, which was nothing.
Although those leopards attacked fiercely, they were by no means hard, they were all looking for flaws, and it was not difficult to simply defend.
Compared with the calmness of Wang Yang and others, the emotions of the leopards are a little anxious, they have a lot of them, and they naturally need a lot of food every day.
If Wang Yang's six people can be taken down, they can eat safely for a day or two without hunting.
As for the four leopards who went to chase after a dozen craftsmen, they obviously didn't have any expectations, six people were still so difficult, let alone a dozen?
The reason why I chased it was mainly to be responsible for driving away, avoiding the other party from attacking together, and eating these few six people with peace of mind was the king.
This method is basically the most common method used by predators living in groups, whether it is a wolf, a lion, a leopard, a hyena or something.
But the leopards only judge their strength by numbers, which is really a big joke, if they all go after the craftsmen who are tied to their hands, they will definitely get a lot of food, how can they be so helpless as now.
After resisting a few more attacks, Wang Yang's heart slowly sank, he was not afraid of the leopards guarding himself, after all, hunting pays attention to efficiency.
If they can't attack for a long time, the leopards will definitely retreat, but the problem is that the longer the time drags on, the farther the craftsmen will run, and it will not be easy for them to catch up.
At this point, the craftsmen were left with only a small spot, and watching them run in disarray, they thought that they had untied the rope along the way.
As for how many craftsmen remain. Wang Yang didn't have time to count, he could only glance at it occasionally. Don't dare to wander for too long.
"Roar~" The leopards already seemed very irritable, and many attacks were ineffective. Let them understand a truth, either retreat or fight to the death with this group of guys.
As for the injured leopard, there were not many breaths left, and the blood was flowing all over the ground.
The group of leopards hesitated, judged, and were unwilling, and while thinking about revenge, they hunted and killed six people. While thinking about it, there is no point in spending any more time here.
Although they are hungry, they are not so hungry that they need to pay a terrible price to fight, if they are really hungry to that point, they will not fight with Wang Yang and them, but there are only six people, how many taels of meat can they have?
After a few more stalemates, the four pursuing leopards returned.
Wang Yang glanced at it and saw that under the mouths of the four leopards, each biting a corpse. Slow dragging.
The smell of blood stimulated the leopards' sense of smell, and they were surprised to find that the four companions who were responsible for driving them had a big harvest!
Under the stimulus of gore. They ran to their companions and no longer besieged Wang Yang and the six men.
"Whew~ It's okay, it's only been more than half an hour. Not too long, or else. There is really no trace of the craftsmen. ”
When I looked up, the craftsmen were gone. It is impossible to annihilate the whole army, in the end, it is only four leopards, and it should have run away.
But it didn't matter much, Wang Yang remembered the direction of their escape, even if he didn't remember, he could follow the trail.
The traces of survival in the wild, Wang Yang dare not say that he is an expert, but it is almost there.
"Retreat carefully." Wang Yang glanced at everyone, afraid that they would not understand, so he deliberately made a gesture.
Seeing that everyone nodded, they circled the leopard herd and withdrew in the direction where the craftsmen had fled.
The leopard group stared at them with flickering eyes, so that several people did not dare to run wildly directly.
It wasn't until he was at least 200 meters away from the leopard that he turned around and ran wildly.
On the way, they saw the corpse of a craftsman, and they wanted to be killed by a leopard, but unfortunately four leopards could not drag back five people, but they didn't have to think about it, and the leopards would soon come and eat them.
No one dared to stay for a long time, and continued to speed up.
Their speed is not fast, this is a real gun practice, Wang Yang has been trained since childhood, but that group of craftsmen has also exercised the ability of long-distance running during this time.
After chasing and catching up like this, two hours have passed, and I haven't caught up yet.
For another two hours, under the scorching sun, Wang Yang and the others were exhausted, and they didn't know how much sweat they had, and finally saw a group of craftsmen at the end of the horizon.
There were only ten of them left, and it seemed that they were going to stop and rest, after all, it was already dusk and it was getting dark.
"Chase!" Wang Yang refused to stop, continued to pursue, and finally chased some, and the group of craftsmen also found Wang Yang and quickly fled.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark, and I could vaguely see the craftsmen in front of me, never out of sight.
"Stop, stop chasing." Wang Yang raised his hand and stopped.
The five people behind him suddenly felt like they had been amnestied, lying on their backs on the ground one by one, breathing heavily, their chests rising and falling violently.
In fact, they have reached the limit of their physical fitness, running in the winter and running in the tropical in the afternoon is really different, and the physical exertion is very terrifying.
They couldn't run for a long time, but Wang Yang didn't speak, so they gritted their teeth and continued to run wildly.
was able to run down, completely relying on stubbornness and tense nerves.
It was precisely because he discovered this that Wang Yang asked them to stop, he had not yet reached the limit, and he originally wanted to chase the craftsmen to "the moon black geese fly high, and the craftsmen escape at night".
Now it has to be stopped.
After resting for a while, everyone finally sat up, intending to take food and drink, but suddenly found that the food and drink were all on the craftsmen, and they were completely dumbfounded......
"Uh......" Wang Yang was also stunned, and then almost burst out foul language, at that time, he hung food and cans and other things on the craftsmen, because the six of them had to be on guard at any time, and there would be no obstacle in case of emergencies.
Which thought came to be, but it fulfilled that group of craftsmen.
"The plan can't catch up with the changes, and the people are not as good as the sky."
Fortunately, he also brought a net and other hunting tools, and immediately cast a net to catch fish.
Not to mention, there are a lot of fish in this river, which are big and fat, and it is really worthy of learning a text called "The Great Northern Wilderness" when I was in elementary school.
After solving the food problem, Wang Yang wanted to take advantage of the dark night when the craftsmen had no light source to chase after him.
Originally, this was an excellent method, but the craftsmen had no light source, and if they walked around, they would die at any time.
Having your own light source can deter some beasts from approaching and reduce a little trouble.
As soon as they thought of it, they took torches and followed the footsteps of the craftsmen.
But an hour later, they came to the place where the craftsmen had stayed, and they were a little speechless.
It turned out that his own torches not only frightened the beasts, but also frightened the craftsmen, and when they saw the light of the fire moving, they fled at night.
"Forget it! It's okay not to chase it. Wang Yang figured out that unless he extinguished the torch and went through the dark, it would be impossible not to disturb the craftsman.
But if the torch is extinguished, and the black paint is black, even the direction of the craftsmen will not be discovered, and many wild beasts will covet it.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the pursuit began again, everyone was chasing frantically behind, and the craftsmen were running frantically in front.
While running, I gnawed on steamed buns, and even saved time for hunting and eating.
Wang Yang was also angry, caught a raw fish, and gnawed it, good guy, I haven't eaten raw for many years, and I don't need to adapt to eating it at this time.
At the end of the day, I was stunned that I didn't catch up with the craftsmen, and it could be seen that the craftsmen were also tired, but those who could escape from the leopard's mouth were also the elite of the craftsmen.
But they are slowly drifting away from the river.
Wang Yang found that it was definitely not a way to chase down like this, and according to the map drawn by the craftsmen, he had to keep moving along the river.
But the river is not a straight line, and Wang Yang will catch up when he turns around, and the craftsmen simply run to the prairie.
Looking at the discarded bottles and cans on the ground, Wang Yang calmed down, analyzed carefully, and felt that there was no need to chase so closely, and if the chase was too tight, the farther the craftsmen would deviate, which would be detrimental to the search for copper mines.
Nowadays, in order to run faster, craftsmen throw away the jars of water, which must be supported by water.
Sooner or later they will return to the river and approach the copper mine on their own initiative.
All you need to do is not to lose them.
As soon as he thought of this, in the next few days, Wang Yang did not continue to chase after the craftsman.
Sure enough, the craftsmen returned to the river because there was not enough water and continued along the river.
They sometimes slack off, don't want to run for their lives anymore, and plan to settle down and rest, but whenever they slacken, Wang Yang will appear in front of them and remind them, if you don't hurry, I will catch up!
The craftsmen dragged their extremely tired bodies and had to die every day.
Along the way, Wang Yang found that there had been changes near the river, and the Sumang grassland had disappeared again, and the familiar tender green grass had appeared, and there were more stones.
Now that they have straw sandals, they are not afraid of being scratched by stones.
After another two days, the scenery has changed greatly, there are tender green grass everywhere, and there are some small flowers, blooming alone and proud.
There are trees on both sides of the river, and it is a complete transitional stage, without abrupt tree lines.
Maybe it was because they saw green things, Wang Yang and others felt that the sun was not so vicious, but it was still very hot.
After a little pondering, Wang Yang felt that they might have reached the junction of the tropics and temperate zones.
In the last two days, they have noticed that the river has become a little wider, and today they can hear a lot of running water, which sounds like they have reached the confluence of two rivers.
The banks have also been replaced by dense forests, and in the distance there are high mountains, and round stones have appeared on the ground, typical of river pebbles.
A little further on, they came to a delta, and they were in the middle of the delta, and on either side were the rushing waters, which were very wide, and the water was very fast and deep.
When he arrived here, Wang Yang knew that he was close to the copper mine...... (To be continued......)
