Over the next two days, the carpenters assembled four three-bow bed crossbows.

At this time, Meng Chen already had five three-bow bed crossbows, but he did not immediately go to the mountains in the northeastern part of the basin to find trouble with the group of vajra orangutans, but let the hunting team familiarize themselves with the use of three-bow bed crossbows and techniques.

After a few days, the soldiers had become proficient in the use of the three-bow bed crossbow.

Through the soldiers' drills, Meng Chen basically figured out the advantages and disadvantages of the three-bow bed crossbow.

The advantage of the three-bow bed crossbow is its great power and ultra-long range, which can easily penetrate solid wood with a thickness of 50 to 70 centimeters within an effective range of 600 meters.

However, the disadvantages of the three-bow bed crossbow are also obvious.

First of all, the total weight of each three-bow bed crossbow was close to 1 ton. In the jungle with complex terrain, it takes six swordsmen to work together to move.

Secondly, the three-bow bed crossbow had a very low rate of fire. Even if the soldiers are already very skilled, each launch requires at least a five-minute gap.

Finally, the shooting accuracy of the three-bow bed crossbow is difficult to control. Even if the shooter instructor personally aims at it, the dispersion of the 300-meter range will reach about one meter.

As for the shortcomings of the three-bow bed crossbow, Meng Chen couldn't find a solution for the time being, so he could only minimize their negative impact through training.

After this period of preparation, Meng Chen felt that he could already try to hunt and kill the King Kong orangutans.

Two months after its founding, the total population of the City of Hope reached 567, including 200 farmers, 50 lumberjacks, 50 quarrymen, 50 coachmen, 2 miners, 80 swordsmen, 80 marksmen, 5 swordsman instructors, 5 marksman instructors, 10 tailors, 4 blacksmiths, 4 carpenters, 4 leathermas, 4 cooks, 4 butchers, 10 tomb keepers, 2 scholars, and 2 doctors.

The light curtain in Meng Chen's mind showed:

Resources: 132 gold coins, 768 soul power, food (gray/white) 7250/10000, wood (gray) 100/1000, stone (gray) 100/1000, metal (gray) 0/1000.

As for the warehouse in the City of Hope, there are 3,684 wood (gray/white), 3,120 stone (gray), and 86,452 grain (gray/white).

Two days ago, Meng Chen laid out two wooden thorn traps on the periphery of the Vajra Orangutan Territory.

Today, Meng Chen led a huge hunting team consisting of 5 swordsman instructors, 5 archer instructors, 60 swordsmen and 40 archers, and five three-bow bed crossbows to the mountainous area in the northeast of the basin to officially launch the hunt for the vajra orangutan.

Because the five three-bow bed crossbows were too cumbersome, it took two hours for the hunting party to reach the ambush site where the Wooden Thorn Trap was located.

In a dense grass fern thicket, Meng Chen ordered, "Line up the five bed crossbows and target the open space three hundred meters away!" ”

"Yes, my lord!" The soldiers responded in unison.

In front of the five three-bow bed crossbows was a vast open space, which was the ambush location that Meng Chen had already chosen.

About 100 meters away from the three-bow bed crossbow is the second Wooden Thorn Trap, and a hundred meters further on is the first Wooden Thorn Trap.

The two wooden thorn traps are scattered, forming two lines of defense nearly 200 meters wide.

A hundred meters in front of the first line of defense, that is, about three hundred meters away from the three-bow bed crossbow position, Meng Chen ordered the bait prepared in advance to be put down.

These baits are not rare, just a lot of fruits, insects, animal meat, and so on.

Vajra orangutans are omnivorous animals, and they should love the "big meal" that Meng Chen prepared for them!

After everything was ready, Meng Chen led several swordsmen and went deep into the territory of the Vajra orangutan.

After this period of exploration, Meng Chen learned more and more about the habits of the vajra orangutans.

Unlike the four-horned monster cow herd, which is always active in groups, the vajra orangutan also lives in groups, but they are more curious, and they are easily attracted by strange things, so they move alone from the herd.

This also made Meng Chen full of confidence in this ambush, after all, if more than ten Vajra orangutans were inseparable, even if there were five three-bow bed crossbows, it would be useless.

At this time, it was almost noon, and Meng Chen speculated that this group of vajra orangutans should be in a shady area at the foot of the mountain.

Meng Chen led several swordsmen, and every time he walked a distance, he would leave a small amount of bait such as fruits and beast meat in a conspicuous position.

Half an hour later, Meng Chen and his party finally arrived near the target location.

I saw that three hundred meters away, a group of muscled reduced versions of King Kong were sitting under a rock wall to rest at the moment.

Meng Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Sure enough, they are all here!" ”

There are fifteen orangutans in this group, of which 12 are adults who are about 3 meters tall in an upright position, and the remaining three are juveniles about 1.2 meters tall.

Adult vajra orangutans are of medium threat and are much more powerful than the average medium threat organism.

According to Meng Chen's estimates, the strength of an adult vajra orangutan is between two and three tons, and the running speed is about fifty kilometers per hour.

At the same time, the skin of the vajra orangutan is very tough, and ordinary weapons do not pose a threat to them.

With Meng Chen's current strength of less than two hundred, if the front is tough, only four vajra orangutans are needed to press Meng Chen's army to the ground and rub it.

Since the vajra orangutans were gathered together at this moment, Meng Chen could only hold back the anxiety in his heart, and patiently hid in the grass fern bushes and waited for the opportunity.

I don't know how long it took, Meng Chen finally waited for a good opportunity.

The two adult adamantine orangutans chased each other while moving away from the group, and gradually moved towards the location of Meng Chen and the others.

"Almost!"

Meng Chen immediately ordered the swordsmen beside him to throw several pieces of blood-soaked beast meat towards the two vajra orangutans fifty or sixty meters away.

Subsequently, Meng Chen left a swordsman behind and asked him to continue to lure the two vajra orangutans.

As for Meng Chen, of course, he took the rest of the people and drove away first!

It was too risky to get up close and personal with the King Kong orangutan, and Meng Chen didn't want to be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Less than five minutes after evacuating, Meng Chen heard two excited howls in the distance.

Oh~! Oh~!

The swordsman who was left behind, following Meng Chen's order, immediately ran towards the ambush site.

With the swordsman's movement speed, it is obvious that he can't outrun the Vajra orangutan.

In less than twenty breaths, the swordsman was stopped by two vajra orangutans.

Undaunted, the valiant swordsman drew his iron sword and slashed at the vajra orangutan.

The strength of an ordinary first-order swordsman is only 3 points, and even if he has the blessing of the slashing skill, it is only enough to cut through the skin of the vajra orangutan.

One orangutan waved his hand and snatched the swordsman's iron sword, while the other took one of the swordsman's legs and lifted the swordsman upside down like a cloth doll.

Oh~! Oh~!

The two adamantine orangutans, waving the "toy" in their hands, howled excitedly.

Looking at the swordsman from afar, being toyed to death by the Vajra orangutan, Meng Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and anger in his heart.
