Chapter 31: Fierce Tapir
"Knock knock ......"
Heavy footsteps were heard, and he could tell from the sound that the beast was large and herbivore.
Carnivores generally don't make such loud noises when walking, they are more cautious and like to hide themselves and deal a fatal blow to their enemies.
Herbivores, on the other hand, are large but not as athletic as carnivores, and inevitably make footsteps during their movements.
"Up the tree. ”
The captain watched for a moment, listened to the sound getting closer, and then ordered.
The other eight warriors quickly climbed up the trunk of the tree beside them, and the high place was more conducive to archery, and this huge beast suffered a lot from the frontal confrontation with the warriors.
"Rustling ......"
The sound of leaves scraping against each other suddenly became louder, and a figure shot out from the direction from which the footsteps came.
"Captain, it's a ferocious tapir, a pregnant tapir, as if frightened, running towards us. ”
Shi's figure appeared, he had just run for a while, and then he noticed movement on the right side, so he turned to take a look, and found the fierce tapir running this way, so he hurried back to remind the captain.
Fierce tapirs, the Fire Tribe is no stranger to them, and in the woods to the west of the Fire Tribe, there are several fierce tapirs that live.
They are huge, more than two meters tall, and look a bit like giant elephants, but they are different.
Their snouts are shorter than giant elephants and their limbs are shorter, but they have a hard cuticle on the outside of their skin, which gives them the same level of defense as a giant elephant.
"Can't let it run over, behind it is the Fire Tribe granary, where someone is sorting out the frozen fish. ”
The captain said, looking back at the warrior beside him.
"You go back, remind the tribesmen to pay attention, and also, call more people to help, the fierce tapir that is frightened when pregnant is difficult to deal with. ”
The warrior nodded, immediately untied the quiver at his waist, handed all the arrows to the warrior on the side, and turned around and ran towards the Fire Tribe.
"The weak points of the tapir are the abdomen and eyes, and if there is a chance to provoke his tail, it is okay to attack the buttocks. ”
The captain quickly recounted the news he knew about the tapir, reminding the soldiers to take precautions.
"Don't think about breaking the cuticle on their body, arrows and stone knives can't cut it. ”
The fighters nodded, and someone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
This herbivore goes crazy, sometimes more terrifying than a carnivorous beast.
In order to survive, they have a lot of hard skin, and they can't attack it at all, unlike those carnivorous beasts, most of them won't make their skin tough to this extent for the sake of physical flexibility.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The footsteps were getting louder and louder, and the tapir was clearly getting closer.
"Shi, you move flexibly, move behind it, if you can attract it to run, it would be the best. ”
The captain said to the stone.
Shi nodded, indicating understanding, and tightened the bow and arrow in his hand at the same time.
"...... Tsu"
With a roar, the tapir's figure finally appeared, and it sprinted forward frantically, as if something was chasing it from behind.
"Are there any beasts in the back?"
The captain looked at the fierce tapir running in the distance and asked Shi.
"No, I went to see it. ”
Shi replied immediately.
The captain nodded, and said to everyone, "Hold the arrow, wait and listen to my orders, shoot the arrow together, and face it in the eye." ”
Everyone responded, and then they all bent their bows and arrows, ready to launch a fatal blow when the tapir entered the shooting range.
The eyelids of these beasts are very strong, and if the first wave of arrows does not break through the defenses, they will squint their eyes and be very alert, making it very difficult to exploit the weakness of their eyes.
"Ready. ”
As the tapir rumbled, the captain put his right arrow on the bowstring, and the other warriors followed suit.
"Shoot. ”
The warriors bent their bows and shot arrows together, and the arrows "swished" out, so startled that the tapir suddenly stood up and closed his eyes.
"Bang Bang ......"
There was a crunch, and the arrow fell down on its hard cuticle, useless.
Only one of them did not finish shooting, and until the tapir stopped, he did not bend his bow and arrow, and when the tapir closed his eyes, he suddenly drew his longbow.
This person is Shi, he is waiting for the opportunity, and he is also seizing the opportunity.
"Whoosh. ”
The arrow pierced through the air, piercing the tapir's left eye the moment it opened its eyes.
"Roaring ......"
The tapir opened its mouth and roared in pain, its legs bouncing on the ground with a rumbling sound.
"Spear, thorn. ”
Seeing that the stone had hit the tapir in the eye, the captain was very happy, but did not have time to praise, he hurriedly said to the warrior in the tree.
Spears were handed down from the trees, frantically stabbing at the tapirs, but unfortunately they couldn't break the defense at all.
"Roaring ......"
There was another roar, and the tapir finally ran madly, and the captain was shocked when he looked in that direction.
"Chase, you have to stop it. ”
The crazy tapir is running towards the fire tribe, although the speed is not fast, but looking at its crazy momentum, the damage caused will not be small.
The tapir's short legs and heavy body made it difficult to run, and the warriors either jumped in the trees or pursued on the ground, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with the tapir.
But neither on the tree nor under the tree, their attacks did not cause any specific damage to the tapir.
"What to do, Captain?"
Already fighters have made anxious inquiries.
The destructive power of these fierce beasts is much greater than that of these totem warriors, and if they are allowed to run into the tribe, the damage caused will be even greater, and a way must be found.
Seeing that the end of the jungle was in front of him, Shi suddenly spoke.
"Captain, let me go up and try it. ”
"What can you do?"
The running squadron leader asked.
Such a fierce beast attacked, not to mention eight or nine of them, even if more than 20 people did not form a battle formation, they would not be able to bear it.
"I attacked from behind. ”
Seeing that the fierce beast was about to run out of the jungle after running for a while, Shi hurriedly said.
"Try it. ”
The captain glanced in the direction of the tribe, and could already see the tribesmen cleaning up the warehouse, gritted his teeth and ordered.
"Good. ”
The stone suddenly accelerated, and the whole person slammed forward, jumped down from the tree, and caught up with the fierce tapir in a few steps.
By this time, the tapir had run out of the jungle and saw the panicked people with his uninjured right eye.
At the moment when it was startled by the sudden appearance of the crowd, Shi had already rushed behind him, and pressed the spear forward and backward, and the spearhead slammed at the tail of the fierce tapir.
The moment the tail was jumped, the left hand holding the back of the stone spear suddenly retracted, and the spearhead of the stone spear fell rapidly.
At the moment when the spearhead was aimed at the harsh tapir's backyard, Shi did not hesitate, and the whole person burst out with the strength of his whole body and stabbed forward violently.
"Poof. ”
The stone spear stabbed directly into the tapir's fragile backyard and into the intestines.
