Chapter 5: Dog Talk, Dog Talk, and Dog Meat
According to the method of finding the three-headed dog of hell, Tang Xian also found the cave of the bone jackal in the afternoon.
Bone jackals are more afraid of water than the three-headed dogs of hell, and they also belong to the canine family, but they are completely hostile to the three-headed dogs of hell. In the laterite forest, it is considered to be the top of the food chain.
However, the Bone Jackal is not a boss-level creature, and in terms of combat ability, six Bone Jackals may not be able to defeat an adult three-headed Hellhound. It's just that their numbers are far higher than those of the three-headed dogs of hell.
Tang Xian was not in a hurry to do anything.
It wasn't until dusk that the red clay was carefully collected and slowly placed near some red-tailed trees.
Winter Dye seems to understand a little.
I just felt that this process was a little disgusting, and Tang Xian would smell it against the soil in order to ensure that it could be covered by the smell.
Tang Xian caught a glimpse of Dong Ran's expression from a distance and said:
"If you don't have strong fighting ability, you have to learn all kinds of skills, and survival is not dancing. Although humans are smarter than other creatures, there are many things that other creatures can learn from humans, such as the bed bug, because it stinks when it dies, so no one wants to pinch it to death. In the same way, if you are afraid of being targeted by hooligans, don't wear Pinru's clothes. ”
Fuyuran blushed, how could this person ...... As if you can see through people's hearts?
Tang Xian has no way to see through people's hearts, but in the current demand analysis of winter dyeing, with the display of gagging, he can guess the girl's thoughts at a glance.
The general work was almost done, and the bone jackal had been out of the burrow for less than an hour, and the red soil stained with the urine of the three-headed dog of hell had taken at least two or three days for the smell to completely dissipate, so he was not worried that it would fail.
It's just that there are some variables waiting for a while, and he has to make sure everything is done before the variables arrive.
Tang Xian looked at the sky, although he began to try to observe the sky in the novice village in the mining area, and slowly summed up a lot of experience in the past six years.
But the time is accurate to the second, and there is still some pressure.
"It's going to rain tonight, so we've got to hurry."
"It's raining?"
I don't believe in winter dyeing, but you also know about meteorological observations in mining areas?
Tang Xian quickened his pace.
The return location is the location of the Three-Headed Hellhound's lair.
Along the way, Tang Xian has been shaking and scattering, and every 100 meters he travels, he will sprinkle some soil under some red-tailed trees.
Dong Ran cautiously followed Tang Xian, expecting something to happen next.
Whether it's a three-headed dog or a bone jackal, such creatures are invincible to humans.
This world has everything that humanity needs, but there is a price to pay for these resources.
It's just that Tang Xian's thoughts are a little crazy, he seems to be using this world itself to calculate this world.
……
……
At dusk, the temperature in the laterite forest begins to slowly decrease, and the golden sunlight is like a thin layer of powder, evenly smeared between the sky and the earth.
Tang Xian couldn't help but think of a cooking method called barbecue, which is also a lot of condiments, constantly smeared on the slightly crispy food roasted.
Tang Xian was a little hungry and looked forward to the dog meat in the evening.
The smell of the red thread grass made Tang Xian and Dong Dye easily detected by the beasts they attracted, but the two of them remained motionless, hiding behind huge rocks, only a hundred meters away from the three-headed dog's lair, in fact, they were already within the range of the three-headed dog and the bone jackal's sense of smell.
There were eleven bone jackals. They are not in line with the Three-Headed Dogs of Hell, one marking their territory under the Redtail Tree and the other marking their territory under the Tsudoji Tree, and although they are hostile to each other, they are difficult to meet.
Raising one's legs to pee to declare sovereignty is not only done by canines, but also by big cats like tigers.
Tang Xian once saw in a book that in the ancient zoo many years ago, tigers would raise their legs to pee, and even sprayed tourists in their faces.
This kind of thing is actually a provocation.
Under Tang Xian's arrangement, the bone jackal thought that it had been provoked, and there were usually five or six bone jackals in a nest. But apparently, these bone jackals are not unfamiliar with the smell of their old rivals, so they began to call for companionship.
Winter Dye's heart has already risen to his throat.
She remembered that Tang Xian had told her that if she smeared red thread grass, if she encountered a creature in the mining area, she would not be attacked if she kept a low profile, just like humans would shoot mosquitoes to death, but not bed bugs.
For existences like the Bone Jackal and the Three-Headed Hell, Tang Xian and Dong Dye are really two little bed bugs.
The Three-Headed Hellhounds are huge, the size of an elephant, which is different from the mythological depiction of Hell lava all over its body.
The three-headed dog of hell that Tang Xian saw in the distance at this moment, whether it was the three heads or the huge body, what he saw was not an unspeakable flame.
It's really as strong as a horse.
Dog meat.
This was Tang Xian's goal tonight, and as for the bone jackal, he didn't care.
The flesh on the bones of the bone jackal seemed to be crystalline, and Tang Xian had not learned the skills of handling similar substances in cooking for the time being.
The battle began.
The huge adult three-headed hellhound and a dozen bony jackals began to bite in an instant.
When the two canines roared, the entire vicinity of the nest trembled slightly.
This is the biggest obstacle for humans in the mining area. These amazing and powerful creatures have a power that the creatures of the real world of Earth are completely unable to match!
Speed, power, destructiveness. All of them are not at the same level.
Even if you use a weapon, it is difficult to inflict heavy damage on the three-headed dog of Hell, but there are talented people who can awaken powerful skills in the mining area, but how rare are such talents?
The course of the battle was shocking.
The tearing and biting force of the three-headed dog of hell and the bone jackal beyond human imagination made Fuyuran's eyes widen and his expression full of horror.
Tang Xian, on the other hand, looked calm, occasionally raised his head slightly, and looked at the sky.
They were more than 100 meters away from the battlefield, so as not to be affected. When the bone jackal and the three-headed dog of hell fight, they must be endless.
So Tang Xian really didn't feel that he needed to care.
No matter how fierce the two canines fight, whether the earth shakes the mountains or the sky collapses, in Tang Xian's view, it is ...... after all
Dog-eat-dog only.
The three-headed dogs of hell were quickly wounded, and the bone jackals were not feeling well. Some of the bony jackals were even slapped to death. Of course, one of the heads of the three-headed dog of hell also paid a big price.
Winter Dye couldn't help but think that if humans were to inflict a shocking wound on one of the heads of the three-headed dog of Hell, it would have to pay a heavy price, right?
There may also be weapons transformed from high-level armed mines, which may require the awakening of powerful combat skills.
The Three-Headed Hellhound is a boss-level creature that is not so strange and mysterious to humans. But because it is familiar, it is valued.
No one will easily offend such creatures, and newcomers are also looking for weaker creatures for the sake of merit and self-prove.
But Tang Xian was lying behind the rocks so gracefully at the moment, calculating this creature that humans feared.
The injuries on both sides continued to worsen.
Winter Dye is thinking, according to the normal process, how much manpower and material resources will be required?
It's just that...... Bone Jackal and Hell Three-Headed Dog, no matter who wins, I'm afraid they will eat their opponents cleanly, how can Brother Tang take out the soul crystal mine at that time?
It's almost impossible for both sides to lose and die together, whether it's a three-headed dog in hell or a bone jackal, even if it's injured, it's still dangerous.
Tang Xian saw Dong Ran's doubts, but he wouldn't explain the problems that had already been explained.
……
……
The battle between the Bone Jackal and the Three-Headed Hellhound continues, and clouds have begun to appear in the sky.
"Actually...... Is it really going to rain? "Dong Dye heard Tang Xian say not long ago that there would be heavy rain tonight, but I didn't expect it to really be.
In a team of six, there are indeed people who can judge the weather, there are people who are proficient in terrain analysis, or there are people who know more about vegetation and animals.
Everyone who receives a survival education will begin to divide their subjects at the age of fifteen. Because the amount of knowledge is too large.
Even the earth, which has thousands of years of human civilization, has many unknowns in various fields, not to mention a new world that has only appeared for a few hundred years?
Dong Ran looked at Tang Xian's side face, with a sense of stability that did not match his age.
After recalling carefully, she realized that Tang Xian's combat actually involved a lot of knowledge.
Use the smell of plants to disperse wild beasts and become unattacked, then use geographical knowledge to find the nest of the three-headed dog, and then use the animal's territorial awareness to successfully attract natural enemies.
Coupled with the accurate judgment of the weather, wait for the heavy rain to reap the benefits of the fisherman?
This process may seem simple when you think about it, but there are so many areas involved. How can one master so many subjects?
Tang Xian's knowledge of the mining area is also too ...... It's a bit too comprehensive.
"Ready, the three-headed dog of hell is seriously injured, the rain will last for a long time, and the bone jackal will be evacuated soon. The heavy rain will wash away the smell of the red thread grass on our bodies, but the three-headed dog's soul crystal mine, after all, is the core of the boss-level creature, and it will have a certain deterrent effect. ”
"Is that also taken into account?" Winter dye opened his mouth wide.
Raindrops fell on the two of them, and although there were boulders to keep out the rain, there was no way to completely cover their bodies.
Tang Xian glanced at the winter dye, and after the clothes were wet, they were a little transparent.
Dong Ran could see the clothes that were close to Tang Xian's muscle line, only to find that this man's figure was very good, and after a few seconds, she realized something, and screamed, protecting her chest with both hands.
"Tsk, aren't they all going to be sold to me, what are you covering?"
"Don't make fun of me ......"
Tang Xian turned his head, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and both the three-headed dog of hell and the bone jackal let out a weak wail.
Although these two creatures are afraid of water, they are not untouchable. It's just that if the enemy meets today, they don't die, and they all happen to suffer heavy losses, and water is naturally more deadly for these two flame creatures. The appearance of rain is very likely to disperse one of the parties.
After a few more minutes, thunder was heard in the sky, and the rain was intensifying.
The last five bone jackals were dying, ready to drag their partner's corpse to escape, and most of the heads on both sides of the Hell Triodle were bitten off, and the middle head was also severely damaged, even revealing part of the blue soul crystal ore on the skull.
Tang Xian stood up.
Dong Ran clasped his hands on his chest and followed behind Tang Xian.
Tang Xian's steps were very slow, and the bone jackals obviously saw Tang Xian, but they didn't pay attention to it, the heavy rain was unbearable for them.
Obviously, they still want to devour the three-headed dogs of hell completely, but if they are not seriously injured, even if they endure the rain, they will swallow all the bones of the three-headed dogs of hell.
But for now, these bone jackals are too weak.
The three-headed dog of hell was also dying, and Tang Xian walked five meters next to the huge creature before stopping.
Seeing that the brown chest of the elite-level boss creature was still rising and falling, he was not in a hurry, let the heavy rain drench him into a soup chicken, squatted on the ground, and waited for the big dog to die.
It was the first time that Dong Dye had seen a creature like a three-headed dog at such a close distance, even if it was extremely weak and could die in the heavy rain at any time, the momentum emitted by the boss-level creature still made people's scalp tingle.
But looking at Tang Xian's calm appearance and his calm and deep eyes, Dong Ran suddenly felt ......
That's what human beings should be.
The overlord who once ruled the earth, created a highly intelligent race of thousands of years of civilization, and stood at the top of all living things with wisdom.
Tang Xian looked at the eyes of the three-headed dog of hell, obviously the same as the eyes of the past, but there was a kind of domineering spirit of a king facing his courtiers.
Thunderstorms.
The three-headed dog of hell was finally dying, and the shimmering blue soul crystal ore began to dim.
Tang Xian was ready to get up, take out the soul crystal mine, and complete the task.
But at this moment, his eyes widened slightly.
He looked around, as if looking for something.
Dong Ran asked puzzledly, "Brother Tang...... What are you looking for? ”
"Did you hear the sound?"
"Don't scare me...... What was that? "Dong Ran thought that Tang Xian was talking about some kind of beast.
Tang Xian slowly looked at the dying three-headed dog of hell, but his steps took a step back.
"Help me, please, save me...... Don't kill me......"
The voice I had just heard sounded again in my head, weak, exhausted, helpless.
It was the first time that Dong Ran had seen a person like Tang Xian, who was well at everything, with such an expression.
"Help me...... You are also a powerful being...... Why ......"
"You're talking to me?" Tang Xian asked.
There was no one around, and the sound of wind and rain washed over the eardrums, and even if Dongran was beside him, he needed to speak loudly to hear it.
But Fang Cai's voice resounded clearly and cleanly in his head.
When all impossibilities are eliminated, no matter how absurd the last case may be, it must be true.
Thinking like this, Tang Xian returned to his old look.
He had never heard of boss-level creatures being able to communicate with humans. It's as if he hasn't known why the data in his eyes is so different from ordinary people, but for things that can't be changed, Tang Xian chooses to accept them.
"Yes...... Help me...... I'm dying......"
"I'm sorry, I'm a little hungry."
The three-headed dog of hell opened his eyes wide, his breathing became a little rapid, and Tang Xian suddenly spoke, as if he was talking to someone, all of which combined to make Dong Ran feel a strange aura and tremble with fright.
"You too...... A powerful being, why stay with such a weak creature? ”
"What do you care about me? What is weak and strong, I just know that I am hungry, and dog meat is delicious. ”
“……”
The three-headed dog of hell probably didn't expect that an existence that could talk to him would actually help humans, even though he looked the same as humans.
It's a little reluctant, but it really doesn't have any strength.
The rain didn't stop, Dong Ran sneezed, and after the three-headed dog of hell completely closed his eyes, more than ten seconds passed, Tang Xian watched this behemoth lose his breath, and then slowly walked towards the three-headed dog of hell.
But suddenly, the creature opened its eyes, and the boss-level creature used the last trace of life force to try to drag this guy who couldn't save him to be buried!
The mutilated head roared, and its claws, covered in tooth marks and blood, flapped.
Tang Xian's reaction was fast, but his body couldn't keep up with his thinking.
Seeing that she was about to be torn apart by the terrifying claws, Dong Ran let out a scream, and a powerful force was released from her hand, which actually pushed Tang Xian away several meters away from the air.
The Three-Headed Hellhound let out an unwilling howl again, but this time, its huge body finally collapsed completely in the rain.
The Soul Crystal Mine also became dull and completely lost its brightness.
"Brother Tang...... Are you okay! Dong Ran ran over and helped Tang Xian up.
Tang Xian nodded, his breathing was a little short, but his expression was quite calm.
"Thank you just now, I was careless, it seems that the judgment criteria for the complete death of boss-based creatures still have to be changed, even if ordinary creatures die, the soul crystal mine will completely lose its light after a while, but boss-based creatures are different."
Obviously, he escaped death, but Tang Xian began to do academic research with a serious face, and Dong Ran didn't know what to say about this person.
"What should we do with such heavy rain?"
Considering that Dong Dye saved himself in the end, Tang Xian's tone was a little softer, and he said:
"The heavy rain will wash away our scents, and it will also wash away the traces of the three-headed dog and the bone jackal's battle, including the things I left along the way, so we will live generously in the three-headed dog's den and eat dog meat."
"You've planned it a long time ago?"
Dong Ran actually had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask.
Tang Xian nodded.
A plan naturally has a beginning and an end. He had planned it before he entered the mine.
But he did miss something.
For example, how to move the huge three-headed dog of hell into a cave.
In the final analysis, the biggest motivation for hunting the three-headed dog of hell is to eat dog meat hot pot once.
