Chapter 157: The Forest at Night
()
Jiang Shaowen completed the goal he had set for himself, cutting the herd to less than thirty before the herd caught up with herring fish.
In fact, there is still a period of time before the beasts catch up with the herring, but Jiang Shaowen and the giant eagle have no strength to chase after them.
Jiang Shaowen rode a giant eagle and stopped on a hill and looked at the giant wolves who were far away.
"That's when I realized how wise it was for you to grab the wolf first."
The giant eagle is now on the top of the mountain, spreading its wings, allowing its wings to be fully exposed to the sun, while Jiang Shaowen is lying on one of its wings, closing his eyes and enjoying the gentle breeze blowing on the great plains.
This feeling is very good, Jiang Shaowen breathed a long sigh of relief: "The giant wolf pack commanded by a wolf is different." ”
Jiang Shaowen felt that the influence of the head wolf on the giant wolf pack was limited at first, but comparing the giant wolf pack led by the head wolf and the giant wolf pack led by the head wolf, Jiang Shaowen saw the difference, and the importance of the head wolf was immediately revealed.
Jiang Shaowen used the [Longbow] to attack the newly arrived giant wolf pack, and only eleven of them were captured, which is indeed a lot more than the previous giant wolf pack, but don't forget that Jiang Shaowen shot them one by one with the [Longbow], and what about the previous giant wolf pack?
The previous giant wolves were all caught and killed by the giant eagles sent by Jiang Shaowen one by one, even then, the losses of the previous batch of giant wolves were still as many as five, so it can be seen whether the leadership of the head wolf has any effect.
There was no wolf before, so Jiang Shaowen dared to let the giant eagle go down to catch the giant wolf, but in the face of this group of giant wolves, Jiang Shaowen didn't dare, even if the falcons were all long-legged.
But Jiang Shaowen still uses his own principles: in case of instigation in advance, it is okay to die, without bringing relatives and friends.
Jiang Shaowen leaned on the giant eagle like this, and sent a message to the herring fish, telling them that the giant wolf had gone in their direction, and at the same time asked about their specific location.
After resting for a long time, Jiang Shaowen's physical strength finally recovered to 689 percent, and he turned over and looked at the giant eagle: "Man, let's go?" ”
The giant eagle tilted his head and looked at Jiang Shaowen, and his thoughtful appearance made Jiang Shaowen secretly say that it was not good, this stupid bird wouldn't realize that something was wrong, right?
Phew!
The giant eagle flapped its wings with joy.
The giant eagle obviously didn't realize that after colliding with the beasts from the front, it had gone astray, and it was originally going to kill Jiang Shaowen, but now it has become Jiang Shaowen's mount.
Jiang Shaowen turned over the giant eagle, and then the blue fish replied with a message, and the general content was that they had entered the forest, but now it was almost time for the sun to set, and the specific direction of the high priest tribe was not clear to the explorers, so they were stranded in the forest.
Jiang Shaowen patted the giant eagle: "Man, you can't seem to let go of it in the forest." ”
Phew!
"Then you just gave me a natural help." As he spoke, he took out his gold pocket watch and began to compare the direction with the sun.
There is a mantra about using a watch to discern the direction is: half of the time is for the sun, and 12 refers to the north.
According to the mantra, at any time in the sunlight during the day, the direction can be determined. However, it must be oriented accurately, and a needle can be erected next to the words "half of the hours", and when the needle shadow passes through the center of the surface, it means that it is aligned with the direction of the sun, and at 12 o'clock on the dial is north. For example, at 10 a.m., the number of hours 10 is divided by 2, and the quotient is 5. Align the 5 on the dial with the sun, and the 12 direction is north. Once the north is determined, the other directions are clear at a glance, and in this way the accuracy of the compass is no less than that of the compass.
Jiang Shaowen discerned the north, at this time, as long as he remembered his own direction and returned to the original walking route, Jiang Shaowen had the ability to discern the direction without relying on the sun.
By the time Jiang Shaowen caught up with the giant wolf pack again, the giant wolf pack had already bitten the herring fish tightly, and now all the personnel, including the scouts, were involved in the battle, in order to protect the five brute bulls.
Phew!
The giant eagle chirped and attracted everyone's attention, and Jiang Shaowen flew directly on the giant eagle.
Jiang Shaowen originally thought that the density of the forest was not suitable for a creature like a giant eagle to fly, but the actual gap in this forest can run elephants, and it is not wrong to think about it, after all, the small tribe is going to transport sacrifices to the high priest's tribe through here, so the wild bull must go in.
Jiang Shaowen flew down directly on the giant eagle, and when he was close to the trees, Jiang Shaowen jumped directly from the back of the giant eagle and jumped down through the trees.
Jiang Shaowen's participation in the war was tantamount to giving everyone a shot in the arm, and the efficiency instantly increased.
The giant wolf pack was consumed by Jiang Shaowen all the way on the road, and when they chased Qingyu and the others, they were already tired, and the herring fish and others had already prepared, and the giant wolf pack was quickly wiped out.
Jiang Shaowen stabbed the last giant wolf to death with a spear and walked back: "What about the casualties?" ”
Bai Sugar Wine looked at the corpse of the giant wolf in the distance: "I thought you would keep it and domesticate it." ”
"I'm not interested in giant wolves now." Jiang Shaowen said lightly: "So are there any casualties?" ”
Qingyu also walked over: "So far, there have been no casualties among our people and brute bulls, but the detectives have already killed two and injured one. ”
"That's not bad." Jiang Shaowen nodded, it seemed that his efforts were not wasted: "What about your consumption?" ”
Herring: "It's okay, but the physical consumption is a little larger, and the loss of blood is not much." ”
"Well, very good." Saying that, Jiang Shaowen raised his hand and patted Qingyu's shoulder: "You are not bad." ”
As soon as Jiang Shaowen said this, Qingyu also smiled shyly: "Hehe, it's okay." ”
"Yike, this thing is the new means of transportation that I said before?"
Jiang Shaowen followed the prestige, and saw the second master looking at the giant eagle that stopped on the ground from a distance, although he wanted to go over and touch it, but he himself was a little flustered.
"Be careful, he understands what you're saying."
Jiang Shaowen's words teasing the second master obviously didn't take it seriously, so he finally mustered up the courage and walked over to the giant eagle.
The giant eagle glanced at the second master, flapped its wings and flew up, and stopped not far away, obviously to keep a distance from Jiang Shaowen.
As soon as the giant eagle ran, the second master relaxed instantly, because it could be seen that the giant eagle was the object that could be communicated, not the master of oil and salt.
"Wow, you don't want to do this, just let me touch it."
Hongdou and Hongying also walked over after making sure that the wild bull was not harmed, Hongying went to the side of the second master to see the giant eagle together, and Hongdou walked to Jiang Shaowen's side and counted whether the parts on Jiang Shaowen's body were confirmed.
Ahem!
The herring on the side coughed and said, "That red bean, Yike is not wearing an animal skin coat yet." ”
As soon as Qingyu said this, Hongdou's face turned red instantly, and he ran to the side to see the wild cow.
Speaking of which, Qingyu and the others scraped together to replace the hay skirt on their body, but because Jiang Shaowen never came back, Jiang Shaowen is still wearing the previous hay skirt and has not been replaced with the leather coat of Qingyu and others.
may be the characteristic of this secret realm, although Qingyu and the others are wearing metal armor, they still show a hay skirt.
Jiang Shaowen scratched his head and thought about it, and suddenly thought of [Fool's Bag], but then broke off this thought, because [Fool's Bag] may be able to have a surprise effect under certain circumstances, and now Jiang Shaowen doesn't seem to take it out too early.
Qingyu scratched his head and looked at Jiang Shaowen's now bare upper body: "What about Yike's clothes?" ”
After all, the four explorers had been stripped of all the herring in advance, and now each of them only had a hay skirt.
"It's okay." Jiang Shaowen waved his hand: "That thing is dispensable now." ”
"So what do we do now?"
"Now? Without resting, he went to the tribe of the high priest overnight and tried to solve the matter in the shortest possible time. ”
Qingyu gave the current problem: "But we don't know the way!" ”
"I know." Saying that, Jiang Shaowen whistled, and the giant eagle hurriedly flew over and stopped at Jiang Shaowen's side.
Hongying also followed the giant eagle over: "How can you argue without the sun?" ”
Jiang Shaowen smiled: "Who said that only daytime can argue the position?" It's okay at night. ”
"At night? You also need to know the specific lunar year, month and day when you take the moon position, but we don't know anything, how can you judge? ”
Jiang Shaowen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Hongying would also use the moon to judge the location, but Jiang Shaowen didn't plan to use the moon to judge the direction: "You think too much, I counted the direction during the day, so I know the direction of the south." ”
Hongying was stunned for a moment: "That's not right, even if you know, but the forest is intricate, and the direction you know may have been wrong a long time ago."
Jiang Shaowen turned over the giant eagle, and after listening to Hongying's words, he said lightly: "I have a good brain." ”
After that, Jiang Shaowen jumped up on the giant eagle and went directly to the sky.
"Follow me, quick." Jiang Shaowen looked behind him, night is usually the best background for the script to do things, so Jiang Shaowen felt that there would be no accident that there would be a night attack by a beast.
Jiang Shaowen rode the giant eagle and led the way in front, and the second master and the others could only salivate below, watching Jiang Shaowen ride the giant eagle back and forth, envious.
Looking at the endless forest in front of him, Jiang Shaowen still felt that his speed was a little slower: "Hurry up." ”
As a result, as soon as Jiang Shaowen finished shouting, he heard the system notify: [The beast will arrive here in three minutes, please protect the sacrifice (yourself).] 】
Sure enough, Jiang Shaowen was a little uncomfortable, this group of beasts was really annoying.
But why three minutes?
Jiang Shaowen turned on the [Pathfinder] effect and looked around, wanting to find them before the beasts attacked the brute bulls.
The second master shouted below: "Yike, why is it three minutes?" ”
"You also ask me, I'm not a system." Jiang Shaowen said a little like vomiting blood.
The blue fish on the other side said: "Could it be because Jiang Shaowen found the beast herd in our rear earlier, so it was broadcast in advance?" ”
"I'm leaning more towards the other." Jiang Shaowen still said his own opinion in the end: "That is, the beast herd attacked this time is not the same system as the daytime one, so they start anew." ”
"It's not a system?" Qingyu frowned, obviously he didn't understand, but the second master understood: "That is to say, it is the wolves that attack us during the day, but at night it may be other groups." ”
Qingyu nodded and said to Jiang Shaowen: "Will the number also decrease?" ”
Jiang Shaowen suddenly saw something moving in the distance, so he replied casually: "I think so." ”
"That's still a blessing, otherwise it would have broken 100." The herring fish patted his nervous heart very happily.
But Jiang Shaowen's face was not very good-looking: "It's not that it's lucky, it's bad, because of the new race, so we don't know everything about them, even their attack direction is unknown, and this must be a race that has adapted to the night and the forest." ”
Jiang Shaowen was about to say something when he saw a black shadow not far away suddenly accelerate: "Prepare for defense, there is a beast attacking in the direction behind the red tassel." ”
Red Ying reacted the fastest, jumped up directly from the back of the brute bull he was sitting on, drew out the [Orlante Lord's sword] and turned to look behind him.
Hongying's [Orlante Lord's Sabre] is the only two metal weapons in Jiang Shaowen's team, and the other is the [Heavy War Hammer] of the second master, because it is made of metal, even Jiang Shaowen has to be afraid of her ability to break defenses.
also took out the [longbow] and looked around the entire team with his eyes, in case the beast was deliberately let Jiang Shaowen see it to attract attention, Jiang Shaowen did not put all his energy on Hongying's body, but placed it around the entire team.
Sure enough, as Jiang Shaowen expected, there was a beast behind the second master who was slowly approaching, because of the attack of the giant wolf pack before, Qingyu and the others had not had time to prepare the torch, but fortunately, the moon was very bright tonight, and Jiang Shaowen and the others did not plan to light the torch again.
By the moonlight, Jiang Shaowen could clearly see that it was a humanoid creature, but it had a long tail behind it, and it was a group of monkeys.
Jiang Shaowen didn't give any hints to the second master, so he set up a bow and led the arrow, and directly aimed at an arrow and shot it over.
Creak!
With a miserable scream, the second master turned around and saw the corpse of a monkey behind him.
At this time, the monkey squatting behind Hongying also took advantage of Hongying's turning of his head to pounce, but Hongying was not the careless person who teased the second master after all, she directly used the kung fu of turning around to launch the [Draw the Sword], and pierced the attacking monkey with one sword.
Then the white sugar wine was in a hurry, and he was surrounded by four monkeys.
The second master just pulled out, and went up to support with the [heavy war hammer] in his hand, and after some smashing, the four monkeys passed away one after another.
"It's all settled?"
"No, I think there are at least eight of them."
