Chapter 483: Hanging Horn (1)

The antelope hangs its horns, and there is no trace of it.

This means that when the wild antelope escapes from the predators, it will run quickly, then jump on a high place, use its strong horns to hang itself on a high branch or rock, and when the predator chases, it will find that it cannot find any trace of the prey, so it can only leave.

I don't know why, An Xiaoyu suddenly remembered such a sentence, probably because the awakened beast she encountered this time was a herbivore, and it was also nowhere to be seen.

But think about it, according to the routine of the Awakened Beast, the size is not too small, and such a big guy, even if it is hung on a tree branch or on the edge of a cliff, you can see it if you look up slightly, right? Moreover, humans are not the kind of carnivores that do not look up.

So as soon as this idea appeared, it was overturned by An Xiaoyu.

When they were on the road, An Xiaoyu and they found that the further they went, the denser the animals in the mountains and forests became, and even later, they could see a wave of animal groups warming each other from a short distance, which made An Xiaoyu and them more vigilant.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the first wave of attacks to hit, all kinds of animals surrounded An Xiaoyu from all directions, charging intermittently, if it wasn't for the sufficient ammunition they carried, I am afraid that An Xiaoyu would have used tranquility to shock these animals to death.

It didn't take long for the rushing animals to leave their bodies all over the ground, and eventually retreated, leaving not a single one behind. If it weren't for the fact that the blood on the ground hadn't yet coagulated, the corpses would still be stuck among the rocks and grass, as if they hadn't been there at all.

An Xiaoyu's face was gloomy, he didn't expect the intelligence of this awakened beast to be so high, from the large number of beasts that appeared before, coupled with the encirclement just now, it was obviously a premeditated tactical attack of reconnaissance, dispatch and encirclement, this kind of tactic has only been seen in the history of mankind among wolves.

But these herbivores are so skillful, I have to say that An Xiaoyu began to admire the awakened beast in this forest a little, and wanted to see what kind of species it was, I don't know if it is a primate with high intelligence, or other species that have mutated.

And if it is really an IQ mutation, An Xiaoyu said that he would leave it behind, after all, Xu He needs research materials in various aspects, if he can use star energy to develop a method to stimulate the brain domain, maybe human beings will be able to go further in the direction of the study of divine soul and spirituality.

But Huang Chun and his apprentice were obviously not as optimistic and positive as An Xiaoyu, they had a headache when they checked the ammunition, Huang Chun said: "If we do it a few more times according to the situation just now, it is estimated that we will use up the pill by the third time." ”

An Xiaoyu looked at their sad faces and said, "When you encounter a beast again, don't shoot, leave it to me to solve it." ”

Huang Chun raised his head and asked, "The case is not yet in place, don't boast about Haikou, these guys are no longer the same, do you really have a way to solve it?" If it doesn't work then, we'll all have to answer here. ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "You just have to rest assured, since I said so, I must be sure, next time they come over, you just have to watch." ”

Although Huang Chun was skeptical, but seeing that Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei were watching from the side, they didn't speak at all, and their smiles were extremely relaxed, then they knew that An Xiaoyu must have some means to resist the terrible attacks of these animals.

To tell the truth, after patrolling the mountains for so many years, Huang Chun has never found that the animals in the mountains and forests would attack like this, not that their crazy attacks made him feel afraid, but this abnormal phenomenon made him feel very weird, and there was a trace of unknown fear in his heart.

An Xiaoyu really followed the agreement, and did not let Huang Chun fire a shot next, but directly opened the power of the divine soul and released the coercion at the life level. Compared with the coercion of energy, for such animals with low intelligence and only relying on instinct, the power at the life level is more practical.

In front of An Xiaoyu, all the animals began to retreat, and even some timid animals were prostrate on the ground, making way for An Xiaoyu and them, and only after they passed through did they dare to stand up. This phenomenon made Huang Chun amazed, and most of the fear in his heart instantly dissipated.

It didn't take long for An Xiaoyu to follow the direction of Star Energy with coercion and came to a forest, Star Energy showed that the Awakened Beast was in this place, but An Xiaoyu didn't see any animals here at all, not even ordinary animals.

In fact, when they approached the Awakened Beast, the animals in this area had already retreated outside, and in the eyes of these ordinary animals, the deterrent power of An Xiaoyu's life level was obviously on par with the Awakened Beast, this was a battle between kings and kings.

But Ann whispered here, where is the awakened beast?

An Xiaoyu glanced around, suddenly had a realization, raised her head directly, and saw that on the high branch, there was a figure curled up on his stomach with limbs, and a pair of big crystal eyes, looking down.

When he saw An Xiaoyu find its hiding place, the antelope opened its mouth and shouted, and there seemed to be a trace of energy fluctuation in the entire forest, and then, the antelope hanging on the branch swayed its body, got rid of the shackles of the branch, turned its head in the air, and rushed towards An Xiaoyu with its hard curved corners.

Huang Chun heard the sound of the branches being scraped above, and when he raised his head, he saw a black shadow rushing over quickly, shouting, "Get out of the way!" ”

The young apprentice, Wei Qingxuan, and Xu Hewei raised their heads together, and hurriedly jumped two steps outside, avoiding the antelope's attack range, while An Xiaoyu stood quietly in place, looking at the antelope in front of him, thoughtful.

Because the antelope was so small, even smaller than the stronger ones among the common antelopes, it looked like a female antelope.

The star energy on the antelope's body is probably one unit, that is to say, this is a first-level awakened beast, but I don't know why, An Xiaoyu feels that the star energy enhancement power on this antelope seems to be much stronger than that of the three-star energy.

Coupled with the antelope's IQ mutation, the size and strength of the body, An Xiaoyu guessed that there seemed to be something different about this antelope that made it produce this completely different change? What is the reason?

But when the gratitude swept over the antelope, An Xiaoyu didn't find the slightest abnormality. At this time, the antelope had already rushed in front of An Xiaoyu, she gently raised her hand, pressed her palm on the antelope's hard corners, and threw the antelope to the other side.

Thrown away by An Xiaoyu, the antelope turned another direction in mid-air, landed on all four hooves, raised a cloud of dust, stood in front of a huge rock, and looked at An Xiaoyu and the people behind her, with obvious hostility in their eyes.

An Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, the awakened beast has always only been interested in star energy, and now all the star energy on his body has been sealed by the divine soul, and Xu He has nothing on them, why does this awakened beast have such a huge malice towards them? And from its eyes, An Xiaoyu could see disgust and ferocity, but there was no sense of longing.

Is it just because this awakened beast is repulsive to humans?

Thinking so, the antelope rushed towards them again. Feeling the hardness of the antelope's hard corners, An Xiaoyu reached out and lifted the hem of his long coat, pulled out a snow-white short knife with his backhand, and met the antelope's sharp horns.

Wei Qingxuan, Huang Chun and others took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly ran behind the two huge rocks in the distance, for fear of being affected, so they watched the antelope rush towards An Xiaoyu, An Xiaoyu stood quietly in place, in fact, the feeling had already locked the opponent.

When the antelope's attack was in front of him, An Xiaoyu's feet were slightly staggered, and he dodged to let the antelope's attack pass, and then raised his hand and cut off the antelope's tail entirely.

The short tail was cut off whole, and An Xiaoyu reached out to grab it in his hand, because of the cold weather in winter, the blood in the tail did not flow out quickly. Because of the loss of its tail, the antelope lost its balance entirely, and when it landed, one of its four hooves was unstable and rolled on the ground.

Standing up in a panic, the antelope looked at the person in front of him, a little hesitant, and even because of the lack of a tail, his body was a little uncoordinated when he hesitated, and his buttocks twisted and twisted, like a child with new shoes.

An Xiaoyu was holding the tail in her hand, in fact, just to determine what kind of state the antelope's physical strength had strengthened, and she also wanted to see if its recovery ability was faster than that of ordinary awakened beasts.

But what surprised An Xiaoyu was that the strength of the antelope's body was decent, although it was higher than other awakened beasts in terms of strength, but it was not too difficult to cut off the tail. Look at the incision behind the antelope, the blood on it is still dripping.

An Xiaoyu groaned for a moment, feeling that something was not normal.

The strength of the body is moderate, the strength has increased several times, and the recovery ability is lacking, but the hardness of the pair of sharp corners on the head is really high, and it is almost impossible to catch up with the hard shell of the sand sea centipede, and it is estimated that the knife in her hand is constantly chopping.

So An Xiaoyu fell into thought, and the antelope didn't dare to come up rashly to attack, the whole situation began to become stalemate, a man and a beast stared at each other, and after watching for a long time, An Xiaoyu found that the wound behind the antelope began to stop bleeding, and then there were some signs of regrowth, and the recovery ability was about one-tenth of that of other first-level awakening beasts.

However, at this time, the antelope jumped forward, and just when all of them felt that the antelope was going to attack An Xiaoyu again, it suddenly took a step and turned around directly, twisted its butt with the half of its tail that was still growing, and ran away directly into the distance.

Huang Chun and Xu He rushed out for the first time, Huang Chun looked at the antelope running away in the distance with his gun, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Hewei asked, "Why did you let it run?" ”

An Xiaoyu turned around and asked with a smile, "Don't you feel that this awakened beast seems to be any different from other cases?" ”

Xu Hewei nodded and said, "You are so tempting, I can naturally see that this awakened beast is indeed different from the others, what is the reason?" Don't have a clue? ”

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "I didn't find anything different at all, maybe it's because of the different races?" The awakened beasts we found before were all carnivores or omnivores, and the herbivore department was discovered for the first time. ”

"That's why you let it go?" Xu Hewei seemed to understand something.

There seemed to be a hint in Gu Qingniao's words: "It wasn't that I let it go, it was that he ran away by himself and we didn't catch up." ”

Xu Hewei and Wei Qingxuan smiled, they both understood the meaning of An Xiaoyu, and the three of them looked at Huang Chun and his students together, and the young apprentice didn't know what was going on, and looked at the three people opposite with a confused expression.

Huang Chun's face was complicated, but in the end, he sighed softly and said, "It ran away on its own." ”

An Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Okay, let's go back, I have already left a mark on its body, I think it can't run away, this matter can't be taken over by the border garrison, I will notify the Imperial Capital Military Commission and the Three Thousand Academy, and then discuss the ownership of this awakened beast." ”

Huang Chun smacked his lips, chewed on the meaning of An Xiaoyu's words, and began to mourn for Su Pi. When encountering a tough and skillful student like An Xiaoyu, Su Pi is simply moldy for eight lifetimes, and he usually bullies and bullies ordinary students, and when it comes to this kind of big thing, he still has to be arranged clearly.

So the five of them tacitly did not continue the discussion, after all, the two sides are not on the same camp, although Huang Chun seems to be neutral, but he is a border guard, and the interests must be in the patrol camp, for some interests, who knows if he will reveal anything?

So the way back was extraordinarily quiet.

On the way back, there were no wild beasts, and there were no obstacles, An Xiaoyu and they easily followed the original road and returned to the camp in two days, and when they returned to the camp, the team that went out to patrol that day also came back at the same time.

An Xiaoyu took a look at the condition of the mecha students and found that the injuries were still there, but obviously, the wounds on their bodies were already a little old, and their bodies and spirits were filled with some more ferocious and brave aura, and it seemed that such a battle was still very helpful to them.

After returning to the camp, An Xiaoyu found that the situation in the camp had improved slightly, so she found Leng Yan and asked what had happened in the last few days.

Leng Yan said: "Because these nights there are often wild beasts rushing the camp, and the people patrolling the camp will kill one piece as soon as they shoot, but so many wild beasts always hit but can't die, so they can often see half-crippled ones when patrolling, so everyone's harvest these days is not bad, and they haven't suffered many injuries." ”

An Xiaoyu suddenly nodded and said: "But this situation will not last long, the awakened beast has left, and it is estimated that there will be no more beasts to rush the camp, so you must be prepared." ”

When Leng Yan heard An Xiaoyu's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a heavy face.

In the five or six days that An Xiaoyu left, the whole camp was much more harmonious, and the fundamental source of this harmony was the continuous supply of meat. Because of the beast rushing to the camp, these days, the students of the mecha department go out to patrol, and almost every team can bring back a beast, and the beasts that rush to the camp are not small.

So after a few good days, the students' mood has been relieved, and the construction of the wooden house is nearing completion, the first group of sick people have moved into the wooden house, and there is plenty of food, so the condition has also begun to improve.

If the food they get starts to dwindle, I don't know what kind of emotions these students will have after a few good days.

An Xiaoyu looked at the entire camp and groaned slightly.

The expedition branch of the mecha department, it has been about half a month since she arrived here, whether the situation is good or bad, she herself is a little unsure, what kind of state these people are, and I don't know if the Three Thousand Academy can screen qualified talents in this process.

Originally, she thought that by the time she came back, there should be some new changes in the entire camp, but she didn't expect that the camp of the Awakening Beast Organization had eased their emotions, and such repeated twists and turns had lost the control ability of An Xiaoyu before.

She now has two ways to go, the first is to contact the Military Commission and the Three Thousand Academy as soon as possible, and let their people come and take the Awakened Beast away, and then it can be said that the expeditionary support of the Mecha Department and other students has played a good role, and these students can be sent away justifiably without affecting the reputation of the Mecha Department and the Academy.

The other way is to find a way to make a plan before the next time the lack of food comes, find a way to divide these people into three, six, nine and so on, and in the predicament, artificially screen them, and then be able to give Zuoqiu Zhizuo an explanation.

An Xiaoyu knew that no matter which path she chose, there was nothing wrong with it, and Zuoqiu Zhizuo would not say anything, the key was that An Xiaoyu was still a little unwilling. She wanted to go the second way, but she was afraid that the outcome would be chilling, and she had been worried about this situation for a long time.

At dinner that night, An Xiaoyu finally told Wei Qingxuan what he thought and what else to listen to, and after they listened, they realized that An Xiaoyu didn't care about anything, but had been observing and probing, and after the two of them glanced at each other, they also fell into deep thought.

On the contrary, Ran Ye was more experienced, and said: "I am more inclined to the second type. ”

Seeing that Wei Qingxuan and Xu Hewei did not express their opinions, An Xiaoyu laughed, knowing that this question was still too inexperienced for them, so he said:

"Call Meng Pu over, let's discuss."
