Chapter 334: Into the Prairie

The heavy rain did not end until noon, and the dew drops on the grass reflected in the sunlight. The grassland after the rain exudes a clear atmosphere, and a rainbow is beautiful in the sky for a while.

"It's a nice day." The scavenger came out of the cave sheltered from the rain, took a deep breath, his lungs seemed extraordinarily moisturized, and several small beasts kept jumping on the grassland, and the vigorous vitality enveloped the entire grassland.

"The Saker's side has already taken it, and now Hope City is in complete chaos, and we have completely pulled ourselves out of the chaos. So if we can succeed this time, it can be said that the merit is complete. Ray said openly.

Because the Knowing Dao Friend Communicator will be monitored, the Orcs and the Intelligent Clan are very close and leisurely after contacting once yesterday. The scavenger and the others set their friends to a state of silence and did not accept any information from the outside world. However, messages are not accepted in the game, and scavengers and others can also be contacted offline. So there is no problem with the communication of information.

"How about negotiations between Spike and Thundershield and Thunderstorm?" The scavenger asked. Suddenly killed a horse gun scavenger just didn't want to let himself become the target of the public, and at the same time he was extracting himself in advance this time the power to shuffle the scavenger security company should get the benefits.

Now the position of the scavenger security company has been consolidated in Hope City, although the original heroic impression in the hearts of players has collapsed a little because of the scavenger's plan to kill a horse pistol. But the player no longer worships the scavenger security company, nor does it hate the scavenger security company. So the impression of the scavenger security company in the minds of players is half and half. It did not have much impact on the future development of the scavenger security company.

Therefore, the player is not in the scope of the scavenger's consideration in this plan to return to the gun, and the scavenger is concerned about the negotiation with the three major security companies. To know how much benefit Lu Dao can gain from the reshuffle of the Hope City this time, it all depends on how much blood these three security companies have produced.

"The Cheetah Security Company originally wanted to lead the core players to attack the Saker from behind, but it was defused by the Saker. Now he is the most positive one, and it has been determined that he will transfer the latest alloy technology in his hands to us. It was calm on the Thundershield and Spikes' side. However, someone contacted the proprietress in private, as if she wanted to be a peacemaker, let us remember the previous cooperation, and don't be too ruthless with Lei Dun and Spikes. Lei Gong said.

"The cooperation between the Cheetah Security Company and the Orcs and the Intelligent Clan is estimated to be at a critical moment, and the combination of these three forces should do something to Hope City in this reshuffle. And the Cheetah Security Company is the representative of the Orc Clan and the Intelligent Clan in Hope City, and it is estimated that the three of them should be divided equally in this loss, so the Cheetah Security Company does not feel much pain.

Naturally, they want to end the negotiations quickly. Let's put Lieying and the others over to stabilize the situation. In this way, with the secret support of the beast clan and the intelligent clan, they will not necessarily be defeated in this power reshuffle. As for Thunder Shield and Spike to find someone to lobby, it is useless to tell Tranquility who will tell you clearly.

Now they let us think about the previous cooperation, why didn't they think about the previous cooperation when they went to ask them before? The nuclear power technology that Lei Dun Security Company is researching, and the satellite communication technology of the Spike Security Company cannot be allowed. The scavenger said with a sneer.

"They seem to have found a business partner of the boss's father, saying that as long as we show mercy, they can compensate us in reality with some extra compensation." Lei Gong hesitated and spoke, his eyes secretly observing the scavenger's expression.

The villa that Ouyang Boyan gave to the scavenger is still under renovation, so the scavenger is still living in Ouyang Ningning's home. If the lobbyist finds Ouyang Ningning's parents to make it clear. If the scavenger's attitude is still so tough, it is estimated that Ouyang Ningning's parents will be a little embarrassed, and where the scavenger lives will be a little embarrassed.

The change of the scavenger Lei Gong saw it in his eyes, and saw that the former general could live like a normal person, Lei Gong was happy from the bottom of his heart. If the scavenger is upset by the unpleasantness of this matter, it will be a bit bad.

"It doesn't matter who intercedes. Tranquility's parents are quite open-minded, and they can still distinguish right from wrong, so they won't embarrass me in this matter. The scavenger waved his hand to show that there was nothing wrong with him, but when he said that Ouyang Ningning's parents were enlightened, the scene of Ouyang Ningning's last night in his room suddenly flashed in the scavenger's mind.

"Is this something you want to talk to the boss lady about?" Lei Gong said with some embarrassment. After all, this kind of thing involving Ouyang Ningning's family is not easy for him to speak.

"I'll deal with this matter, and the downline told Saker that there is no mercy in this matter. We have to lay the groundwork with that. Otherwise, you will be controlled by others everywhere in the future. Although this time we were plucked out of the vortex of chaos. But now these forces have recognized our threat.

In the future, they will definitely be on guard against us, and if there is any large-scale chaos, we will definitely be the first target of their attack, and it is impossible to play balance, so we must strengthen ourselves. In the future, when you encounter such a thing, you will have the confidence to make your voice heard, instead of surviving in the gap now. ”

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and this sentence is very applicable everywhere. Why did the scavengers choose this risky scheme? It's not because the scavenger security company is too weak, there are too many forces around it. If you don't act crazy, there will be no scum left that has been swallowed a long time ago.

"Well, I know what to do." Lei Gong nodded and went underground to inform the Saker, and the scavenger and the mountain eagle opened a map made of animal skins. The map simply shows some distinct coordinates in the basin grasslands. One of the red lines was discovered by the last time the Tempest Team entered the Basin Grasslands.

There is a road to the Tiger Clan territory on this route. Walking about fifty kilometers from the scavenger, the map is blank, so whether you can find the tribe inhabited by the beast king in a short period of time, and where to kidnap the important people is a big factor.

"We are here now, walk three hundred miles to the south and then move a hundred kilometers to the southwest to reach the tribe of the Tiger Clan. At this time, the rain has passed, and the strong warriors in the tribe should start driving the cattle and sheep to graze, so there may be some trouble on the way.

But once in the tribe, since most of the orc warriors were out grazing, we had much less resistance to capturing the captives. Now we need to choose whether to go straight to the Tiger tribe, or to enter the unknown central region of the Basin Grasslands to find the tribe of the Orcs of the royal family. Mountain Eagle said, pointing to the map.

"How long will our people be able to hold out on to the hump?" The scavenger asked, frowning.

"It didn't last long. However, now that the garrison of Hope City has sent troops to be stationed near the Camel Peak, the Orcs have any bad intentions for the garrison, so they have also sent a large number of Orc warriors to the Camel Peak, as long as the garrison team does not retreat, then most of the Orcs' attention will be attracted to it. ”

"The team of technicians sent to the clinic has successfully rescued the technicians. Orcs are not all well-limbed and simple-minded, and there is no lack of wisdom among them. We did not show up from the very beginning of the war. He did not appear when he rescued the technical personnel, and even attacked the headquarters of the three major security companies.

It is estimated that the beast clan is already suspicious, so the longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility of our exposure, but although the tiger clan is the tribe where the first warrior of the beast tribe in the basin grassland is located, it is a bit uncertain whether it is worth a captive to reach the bargaining chip. The scavenger frowned.

The scavenger is actually very helpless, after all, there are too few people who can use it in their hands. This time it was extremely dangerous to enter the depths of the basin grasslands, and the scavengers had to take all the elites of the company with them. And these people disappeared together, even if others did not know where they went, they could not do absolute secrecy.

There is only one chance to capture a valuable captive from the orc tribe. Afterwards, the orcs will be on guard, and it will be difficult to succeed again. And if the blow misses, the scavenger and the others are exposed, and the possibility of even returning alive is very slim, let alone using the captives to negotiate later. So the higher the value of the captured captive, the more advantageous it is for the scavenger.

And if you want to catch the most valuable captive, you naturally have to go to the place where the king of the beast tribe is, although it is somewhat impossible to catch the king of the Tianpen tribe. But if he can catch his children, then everything will be good for the scavengers.

So in this respect, although the Tiger Clan is the first fighting tribe under the command of the Tianpen tribe, it is a bit textured in terms of the value of captives. I didn't go to the Tiger Tribe, but to find the place where I don't know where the leader of the Tianpen tribe was. There is no doubt that it takes a lot of time, so the danger of exposure increases a lot. So there are pros and cons to both options.

"There's news from the boss's garrison. It is said that the leader of the Tianpen tribe, Shi Lian, was worried that there was a garrison stationed at the border of the basin grassland, so he was ready to lead the elite warriors of the beast tribe to inspect the camel peak. Lei Gong, who went down to inform the Saker Scavenger of the decision, said with a look of excitement after going online.

"Lion's going to the camel peak for a tour, this is a good opportunity. But why did the garrison inform us of this news, they were used by us in the previous plan, so they shouldn't have the kindness to help us, right? The scavenger asked, a little confused.

"It's not for nothing. They say they can help us get enough of the Orc's attention, and they can even do some assassination of the Basin Grassland Leader, Lion's Mill, so that the Orcs can't take care of anything else. And they need us to pay eighty percent of the veins we get after the negotiations. ”

"Eighty percent! Why didn't they rob it? The tiger didn't say anything with an angry face, but then the tiger was stunned and said suspiciously: "How do they know that we will talk to the beast clan about the ore vein?" ”

"They can all guess that we are going to the basin steppe to take prisoners, and naturally they can guess what we are taking prisoners for. But all of a sudden, eighty percent of them really dare to speak. You must know that the way we obtained the ore veins from the beast clan is not a business for nothing. Even if the son of the lion crush is caught, it is impossible for the orcs to give us too many veins for free.

Capturing captives is just a bargaining chip, and if you want to negotiate successfully, it must be a win-win situation, after all, the orcs are not fools. Even if you catch the son of the lion, it's not that you want the beast clan to give anything, there must be a limit to this, they have to open their mouths to eighty percent, and they are really not afraid of death. The scavenger said with a sneer. Although the Zhilu Dao garrison only asked for this price to pay back the money, it would cost eighty percent to open one's mouth, and even if it was cut in half, it would be forty percent, which was too great.

"And how do we answer them?" Lei Gong asked.

"If you don't answer, drag it out and let the Saker talk to them, and say that we have cut off all contact with the outside world now. And this matter is quiet, and they can't be the master. Wait until you get in touch with us. The scavenger waved his hand, and Lei Gong went to talk about the underground line and the Saker again. The scavenger locked his gaze on the map again, and then said with a frown: "Since the lion mill is coming out of the lair to inspect, we will go to the lair of the Heavenly Basin Beast Tribe."

The beast king's journey must be huge, and even if there is no road on the grassland, it will leave some traces behind. Follow the trail and you'll be able to find their lair, but there must be a time limit for that. Five days. Look for the beast tribe's lair for five days, and after five days, if you don't find the place where the tiger tribe is, then return. ”

After making a decision, when Lei Gong went online, the group set off immediately. However, although the basin grassland is the territory of the orcs, there is no absolute control over the orcs here, to be precise, in the entire game world, the most powerful is not the orcs, not the intelligent race and not the player, but all kinds of monsters.

These monsters are everywhere, ranging from low to high. Abilities vary. All sapient races live under their threat and compete with them for space. For example, the bison herd, one of the largest populations in the basin grasslands, is a kind of monster with a large number.

Although the orcs have kept some bison in captivity and turned them into domestic animals, many more bison are still monsters. Whether you see the player or the orcs, or if you see the sapients, they will attack. The intelligent and orcs can only use special techniques to control a small number of monsters for their own use, and most of the monsters are still in a state where no owner will attack.

Although each of the group was carrying fifty kilograms, the speed was fast. In addition, the tiger and others have completed the second step of evolution. The third step of evolution is not far off. Plus there's also physical crafting, and some of the current top-level equipment attribute bonuses. So this little weight is nothing at all.

After a morning, the scavengers traveled more than 100 kilometers, and by noon they stopped for a short break. The mountain eagle takes the leopard to the front to explore the terrain and see if there is any danger around. After a while, the scavenger received a call from the mountain eagle, and then ran towards the place where the mountain eagle was with the resting Lei Gong and the others.

When he came to the place where the mountain eagle was, the first thing that caught the scavenger's eye was a piece of skeleton. Not the bones of a dead man. Instead, there are bison skeletons with fresh stubble, and some of these skeletons are still hung with minced meat and blood, and the traces of gnawing are very obvious.

"There should be a decent number of wolves nearby." Looking at the skeleton scavenger in front of him, the scavenger frowned and said, this piece of bison skeleton was obviously the result of the collective hunting of wolves. There are no less than 20 large and small bison skeletons, such a number of bison. Enough for a hundred and ten steppenwolves to eat at the same time.

And this number is not necessarily the whole number of wolves, because although the wolves hunt in groups, it is possible that only a part of the wolf pack hunts and eats here, and there are other steppe wolves in different numbers who eat elsewhere. This suspicion was quickly confirmed, and leopards that continued to explore found four or five areas of bison skeletons that had been eaten away from only skeletons.

Whether there are such bison bones nearby cannot be explored one by one due to time reasons. However, it is initially estimated that the number of wolves in this pack is at least 500, and such a large wolf pack is rarely seen even in the basin grassland, and generally the number of wolves in a pack can be 100 and is already fierce, and 500 steppe wolves may even be more numerous. Even if the orc army encounters it, it will not be easy to get out.

"Judging from the traces of the scene, there are not many of these grasslands who should still evolve into werewolves in beast form. The wolves know very well the rules of survival in nature, and will not do the thing of drying up the rivers and burning the forests and hunting. Since they have eaten so many bison here, it is estimated that in addition to the terrible number of wolves, the number of bison is no longer a few. Lieying said.

Even wild wolves that have not evolved into a very intelligent beast know that they can't eat too much of one prey at once, otherwise if the prey they eat becomes extinct, they will also perish in the future. So wolves have their own calculations about the hunting of a population.

For example, when they round up and kill bison, they drive the herd of bison away and run. During this long run, some of the young bison in the herd, as well as the old and frail bison, would fall behind the pack due to physical exhaustion, and these bison were the targets of the wolf pack.

And to deal with such bison not only saves their own combat power, but also minimizes the danger. It can also help the bison herd survive better, because the playground is so large. The old and weak bison are no longer able to pass on their ancestry, and living in the bison herd will only waste more grass.

In the bison bones found, the mountain eagle can roughly determine the age of the bison from these bones. Of the nearly 100 bison that were eaten by steppe wolves, at least 34 were in their prime. This situation is a bit unusual.

Because hunting bison in the prime of life is very dangerous for the steppe wolf, there is not much difference between the prime-aged bison and the old bison for the steppe wolf who needs food to replenish their energy, as long as they can fill their stomachs, the age of the bison is not important to them.

Therefore, steppe wolves rarely attack bison in their prime, because the risk factor is too great. And through what has been passed down from generation to generation, it is impossible for the wild wolf pack to do such a dry and fish-fishing thing. Therefore, there is only one possibility that the bison in the prime of life are hunted in large quantities. That is, this steppe wolf pack is very numerous, and they are not afraid to fight bison in their prime. At the same time, the number of bison herds is very large, and the death of so many bison in the prime of life at once will not affect the reproduction of the bison herd. (To be continued......)
