25. Into the mountains

Ling Li opened the way in front, and Zhu Fatzi and a few others walked more than ten meters behind him.

This is a requirement at the time of school training, and it is also the standard formation configuration of the combat group when the army is in the field.

As for why Ling Li is in front: Zhu Fatzi's size can't be a sharp soldier, and the compound crossbow in his hand is the strongest long-range weapon in this group, Chen Chaoyang carried a standard spear, and carried a crossbow box for Zhu Fatzi. As for Tang Zhi, it is mainly because he is a spearman and is good at close combat......

Human strength lies in teamwork, not in silos.

Although most of the protagonists in the novel are so-called "lone rangers", in reality, the probability of death is much higher for such guys who wander alone in the wild. The worst thing to say is that you really encounter that kind of powerful beast, and when everyone scatters and flees, you can still have teammates who can help you share the chance of being caught and killed.

At this time, the probability of the strong man in the team fleeing for his life is much greater.

When a beast hunts, it usually stares at the weakest prey.

Dead friends don't die poor...... Human beings are not so noble or mean, and the moral standards of the vast majority of human beings are on a level.

In the case of a huge gap in strength and too late to escape, those guys who still want to fight with their lives to save others are not great, but really stupid......

For example, their team, because of the existence of the fat man, a seventh-level martial artist, when encountering a low-level first-level beast, that is, a low-level martial artist, they can have the strength to fight with each other in the case of mutual cooperation. But when you unfortunately encounter a high-level beast or higher, everyone should run for their lives.

At this time, as long as you can escape with your life, it is luck.

Ling Li and the four of them were all in the wild for the first time, and they had no experience in hunting, and when they really entered the mountains and forests, they found that there was still a huge gap between theory and practice. For example, now, after climbing over several mountains, the four of them feel that they are at a loss and don't know what to do.

Although there are also a lot of wild beasts living on the periphery of this big green mountain, most of them have long since disappeared after the arrival of so many humans. Some of the more stupid herbivores have been killed by hundreds of hunting teams in the past three days. Heaven and earth have changed dramatically, and after gradually adapting to the new rules of heaven and earth, humans and beasts have become stronger at the same time, and in comparison, the changes of beasts are only greater.

The most disadvantageous thing for mankind is that all the thermal weapons before the cataclysm are unusable due to the change of the rules of heaven and earth, and they can only pick up the cold weapons that have been eliminated for hundreds of years.

In fact, the biggest threat to humanity are those alien invading star beasts and creatures that have mutated due to the rules of heaven and earth. The star beasts themselves can absorb the source energy of the stars and refine the physical body, and their strength is very strong, and those mutated beasts are also able to absorb the source energy of the stars in this heaven and earth, and their strength has skyrocketed.

The beasts were ten times stronger than ordinary beasts of the same kind, and each one was equivalent to the king of the same group.

Martial disciples like Ling Li, who have not yet entered the realm of martial artists, who have not yet been able to absorb the source energy and star source power to refine their bodies, and who have really begun to cultivate, may not even be able to defeat the most common mutant gray squirrels or grass rats in the mountains and forests. You must know that a mutated rock sheep is as powerful as a bison before the cataclysm, and it is nearly three times faster.

How can this be fought?!

Therefore, the rule of the human survival base is that if you do not become a warrior, you must not enter the wild.

Of course, this does not apply to self-killers who are willing to be food for wild animals.

Because of the memory of Blue Star, Ling Li may be the most well-informed among these four people.

Now, Ling Li, who was leading the way in front, stopped, leaned down, and carefully observed the ground.

"Ling Li, what are you looking for?" Zhu Fatzi rushed over and asked.

"Footprints, feces...... Rodents such as grass rats and rabbits are used to following a fixed path, and even if their bodies have changed, some of their past habits have not changed much. Ling Li lowered his head for a while, then shook his head, "The footprints on the road that this rabbit used to walk were all several days ago, and this litter of rabbits has already moved or become someone else's prey. ”

"How can you tell it's a nest of rabbits?" Chen Chaoyang said.

Ling Li smiled: "This footprint is different in size, is it a rabbit?" ”

Tang Zhi said: "Should we find a water source, is it more likely?" ”

"What you said is that the problem is that the probability of encountering danger will also increase greatly, with our current strength, we can only find some small animals to hunt, if we encounter strange beasts, there is almost nothing left to escape." Ling Li said, "Then we will go upstream from this mountain forest to the river, and there will be no way to collect some wild vegetables and mushrooms, by the way, there are also medicinal herbs that can be regarded as harvesting." ”

After some discussion, it was decided to walk through the woods again and turn back to the river.

After walking in the mountains and forests for more than an hour, it may be that the wild beasts in the mountains and forests have been like frightened birds for the past few days, and they have avoided far away when they hear human voices, and they still haven't seen any living creatures such as birds and beasts. It's just that it's not without harvest, and in addition to collecting a large bag of wild vegetables and mushrooms, more than a dozen herbs have also been collected.

Although these herbs are not expensive, if they are brought back to the city, they can be sold for more than a dozen yuan. Although the mosquito is small, it is also meat, and this thing is also a loss that Ling Li knows, and everyone usually doesn't care much about it.

Seeing that they were almost at the river, everyone walked nearly twenty kilometers, looking a little depressed, not expecting that hunting in the wild would be so difficult, and after half a morning in the mountains and forests, they did not even see a single beast hair.

At this moment, the sound of birds' wings fluttering suddenly sounded in the forest in front of him, and Ling Li suddenly stopped and widened his eyes. The three people behind him also stopped at the same time, quietly observing the movement in front of them. But the fluttering of wings in the forest became more and more intense, and there was no sign of movement.

Ling Li suddenly became excited, and then took a step, and quickly rushed towards the place where the sound was made.

When Zhu Fatzi saw this, they also followed.

Not far into the woods, he hid his figure behind a large tree and quietly poked his head out. I saw that under a huge old banyan tree, a pheasant the size of a baby goat was fluttering vigorously on the ground. And one of the legs of the pheasant has been bitten by a python about three meters long, and the snake body is also rolling towards the chicken at the same time.

The pheasant was also strong, its wings fluttering, and it kept scratching at the snake body that rolled towards him with its other claw, and the huge beak of the chicken's hard head was also pecking at the python's seven-inch vital point, pecking the snake bloody and trying to get rid of the python's entanglement.

A chicken and a snake are fighting fiercely......
