Chapter 265: Kariam's Lie
Luo Han still has a lot of questions, such as how did Kariam know where the baby beast is infested? Why are young beasts more difficult to see than adult beasts? Why aren't the cubs protected by adult beasts? Unfortunately, Kariam was not interested in answering, so he just cut a piece of meat from the python and went to the side to make a fire and roast it himself.
Luo Han asked the others to dispose of the snake meat, and walked around the neighborhood by himself. Based on Kariam's performance, he should have known that there were young beasts here, but the strange thing was that Luo Han only found traces of the python's activities nearby, and there were no clues of the existence of other animals. Could it be that this is the private kingdom of this python? Are all young animals one in one place?
With doubts, Luo Han walked to the bushes where the python was stabbed, picked up the bushes, and examined them carefully, but still found nothing. Luo Han stayed away from here again, wandered around, and finally brought in the nightmare and asked him to help identify the smell, and finally found a possibility.
In a circle with a range of tens of meters centered on the location of the python, there was a faint fishy smell. Linked to the behavior of many beasts marking their territory, it can be speculated that the python should have been kept in captivity here. Perhaps because its parents had gone out foraging for food, Kariam, with his long experience in the jungle, smelled the scent and led the crowd over to hunt the young. The only thing I can't understand is, how does Kariam know that the adult beast is not at home? Luo Han could only understand it as the experience of the old savage.
After a group of people processed the python meat, they feasted on it, and a python ate it clean. After eating his share, Kariam took the lead and set off again, resuming the direction he had started.
This trial is destined to be an extremely long journey. Kariam led everyone through the jungle, and at first they all chose a route that did not infest the evil beasts, which was quite smooth. Except for taking the Storm Squad to hunt a young beast to eat meat every morning, the old savage usually eats the fruit, and sleeps on the tree every night, without any communication with others. Stormtroop encounters several attacks each night, but all of them are dangerous. However, on the fourth day, Kariam told Rohan that the rest of the journey was an area they had not explored, that it was no longer safe, and that they must be prepared for an attack at any time.
At noon on the fourth day, the Storm Squad was attacked by a giant cat with extremely sharp claws, and many people were scratched, and the giant cat successfully escaped after being injured. The following afternoon, it seemed to be back to the time when he first entered this jungle, large and small attacks continued, the only difference was that Luo Han found that Kariammu could always sense the attack of the evil beast in advance, and climbed the canopy first. Finding this made Luo Han prepared, every time Kaliam climbed a tree, Luo Han put the team into a defensive stance, a few elders with special physique stood outside, carrying the first wave of attacks, and others brewed an attack to repel the attackers. As a result, the probability of injury is greatly reduced, and the excellent defense and recovery of the physique elders allow them to recover on their own without even treatment.
At night, Karianmu went up to sleep in the trees as usual. Luo Han wanted to learn from him, but considering that the trees were vulnerable to insect attacks, Kariammu obviously had a way to avoid insects, but he didn't teach them, so he could only continue to camp on the ground.
Today's vigil is Lin Ya and Meng Fei, and it is still a combination of perceptual expertise and physical strength. After nightfall, it was dark. Lin Ya sat on the edge of the tent holding the guqin, which had been rated as an iron-grade weapon by the trial ground, vigilantly watching the movements around her, while Meng Fei simply sat outside the tent, leaning against the big tree where Kariammu was.
Kariam slept peacefully in a high hammock, which swayed gently in the night breeze. Meng Fei glanced up, his eyes full of disgust. Over the past few days, Kariam has left the impression of being selfish, greedy, and rude to the Storm Squad. If it weren't for the need for him to lead the way, Meng Fei would have beaten this bad old man all over the ground to find his teeth.
Just as Meng Fei was thinking about the plot of Crazy Flat Kariam, a spider the size of a millstone crept up from a nearby tree along the dense branches.
Lin Ya heard the sound of spiders crawling, and carefully watched the movements around, but she didn't notice the insect slowly crawling overhead.
The big spider quietly approached Kariam, stopping on a branch that was still five meters away from Kariam, and the six slender spider legs were slightly bent, accumulating strength. Kariam, who was asleep, seemed unaware, and her breathing was still even and smooth.
The great spider was full of strength, and suddenly leaped out, straight at Kariam. The jumping movement finally alerted Lin Ya, and with a flick of her fingers on the strings, she woke up the others.
Luo Han opened his eyes and saw the big spider fall on Kariam's hammock, and he was shocked. Although I don't like this old man, but without this guide, how can I go about finding the Crown of Tegus? At the moment, with a little charge, it is necessary to hit a vacuum wave. But I saw Kariam's hammock shake for a while, and a big hole was broken at the bottom, and Kariam fell directly from the hole, avoiding the big spider's attack. The big spider landed on the hammock, and before it could stand firmly, the hammock fell apart. The large spider hurriedly squirted a wisp of spider silk from its abdomen, wrapped around the branches, and hung in the air and swung.
Luo Han saw it clearly, Kariam's hammock seemed to be specially designed, and once it carried too much weight, it would collapse, allowing the person sleeping on it to immediately fall and escape. Sure enough, people who can survive in this kind of place for a long time are not so simple.
Luo Han sighed in his heart while beckoning everyone to attack, and the weapon containing the true yuan brought up a ray of brilliance and hit the big spider. The hapless spider was beaten to pieces, its sap splashed, and it jumped rapidly from branch to branch, and finally escaped the attack and disappeared in the dense foliage.
The old man's body was still strong, he fell from a tree more than ten meters away, and without doing anything, he patted his ass and climbed up the tree again, and rearranged the hammock for sleeping.
Luo Han was a little curious, climbed the big tree and looked at Kariam, and found that this hammock was made of slipknots in many places, and it would collapse with a little force. It seems that Kariam has empirically judged a structure that can support his weight, and then maintains a stable sleeping position when sleeping.
Luo Han got off the tree and did not intend to follow suit. Not to mention that there is not enough experience to compile, the team is still more reliable to support each other, and can unite to defend against enemies in the event of an accident.
However, Luo Han did not plan to continue sleeping, but entered the dark jungle alone.
With his unparalleled speed, Luo Han shuttled through the jungle like a gust of wind, and occasionally a vicious beast tried to attack and was left behind by Luo Han.
Luo Han had a whim, and Kariam could lead the Storm Team to find a lone young beast every morning, which had always puzzled Luo Han. Why would a baby like that, completely preyed on in the jungle, be left there by its parents?
Since it was already very unsafe at night here, Luo Han didn't care about disturbing the evil beasts, so he simply went to investigate. After traveling through the jungle for some distance, Luo Han came to a clearing and found a tiger that was slightly larger than a normal tiger. Based on the beast's sheer size, it should be a young beast. Luo Han climbed a big tree and observed condescendingly.
The tiger lay on the ground, wagging its tail listlessly and occasionally letting out a boring growl, not like it lived in a treacherous jungle, but like it was kept in captivity in a zoo for people to watch.
Luo Han held his breath and looked around the tiger. The python can go without food for several days, but the tiger can't, and someone will definitely bring food to the tiger every day, and there will inevitably be traces of other biological activities around it.
At this moment, a half-meter-long caterpillar squirmed and approached the tiger, quickly crossing the safety zone. It seems that this caterpillar beast is trying to fight the tooth sacrifice. Luo Han became nervous, not knowing how this little tiger who could survive in the jungle would behave in the face of a beast with great strength. You must know that Kariam's killing of this red-blooded creature is one spear and one spear, and he doesn't see what this red-blooded young beast has to do.
But something strange happened, the caterpillar squirmed forward, and when it reached a position more than ten meters away from the tiger, it suddenly convulsed, and it didn't take a few strokes to stand up. The tiger got up lazily, walked slowly, pulled the caterpillar's corpse with its claws, then lifted one hind leg, and discharged a puddle of body fluids like a dog in the caterpillar's upright position, and then began to tear open the caterpillar's hairy skin with its sharp front paws, and gnaw on the tender flesh inside.
Luo Han was dumbfounded, he suddenly remembered the smell he had smelled near the python, and a ridiculous thought came to his mind.
These red-blooded creatures are not so-called young beasts at all, but mutants of the evil beasts. They are similar to normal creatures elsewhere, with the only difference perhaps being that their bodily fluids are extremely lethal to these grey-blooded beasts, and are capable of devouring grey-blooded creatures. That's why these creatures are rarely infested with evil beasts in their vicinity, and they can live comfortably in comparison, even if they are weak in combat. Just sprinkle xia ti liquid nearby and quietly wait for the unwitting beast to come and send it to death. Perhaps only this explanation can explain why there are fewer so-called young beasts than normal evil beasts, and there are no powerful evil beasts to protect them.
Luo Han watched the tiger finish eating the caterpillar of the evil beast, dug a soil pit in the ground, buried the remaining fur, moved in his heart, jumped off the tree, beat the big tiger down in three or two strokes, took out a cow tendon rope to tie the big tiger tightly, carried it up and ran back, and at the same time commanded a few words in the channel.
When Luo Han returned to the vicinity of the campsite, the three of them were already dragging two evil beasts and waiting.
Evil beasts are rampant in the jungle, and those who dare to attack the storm squad are some of them with strength, and those with insufficient strength often shrink their tails to be beasts. Normally, the Storm Squad doesn't bother to take care of these evil beasts, after all, they can't eat them, so there's no need to waste time. But if there is a need, it is still easy to catch.
One of these two beasts is in the shape of a fox, not counting the tail that is two meters long, and the other is a monkey as tall as a man, and his muscles are comparable to that of Mr. Bodybuilder. It's just that the two ferocious monsters met the more vicious humans and were beaten to death.
Luo Han threw the tiger on the ground, took out bi shou and cut a hole in the tiger's body, took a bowl and filled half a bowl, and then sprayed the tiger with some hemostatic spray, and then poured red blood on the fox beast, only to see the fox beast writhing a few times wildly, kicking his feet, and swallowing his last breath.
The wild dragon smiled: "Captain, you are even more poisonous than the Ten Thousand Poisonous Ancestor, you see the blood sealing your throat." ”
Luo Han frowned, cut himself with a bi shou knife, and released half a bowl of blood on the monkey beast, but the monkey beast just bared its teeth and grinned.
"It seems that only the red-blooded creatures native to this jungle are useful." Although he had expected this result for a long time, Luo Han still couldn't help but sigh, and then pinched the tiger's jaw and squeezed out a few drops of saliva and sprinkled it on the monkey beast.
"Captain, what kind of divine beast are you? That's amazing, isn't it? The shadow was stunned: "With this thing, can't we walk sideways in the jungle?" ”
Luo Han looked at the campsite through the dense trees and said in a low voice, "You have to be glad that this thing is harmless to us, otherwise we might be like these two evil beasts now." ”
The mad dragon's eyes showed a cold light: "Why didn't the old man say this kind of thing earlier?" We also let us eat the prey we caught earlier. I think this guy is sincere in asking us for trouble. ”
Luo Leng smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that I happened to bump into this tiger eating, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that this so-called young beast is the nemesis of the evil beast." Shadow, tomorrow you keep an eye on where the old man passes, and see if there are any special markings left. You have the ability to stealth, and if you find a mark, look for an opportunity to secretly erase it. ”
Zhao Qian was surprised: "Captain, do you suspect that the old man is using us?" ”
Luo Han nodded: "If my guess is correct, it won't be long before we come across a lot that we have to go through a fierce battle to pass." The old man deliberately did not reveal the key information to us, I am afraid that he had the intention of consuming our strength and faciding the last mantis to catch cicadas. Also, don't say anything to your face, I don't believe this dead old man really can't understand Chinese. ”
Shadow nodded, "I'll keep an eye on it." What about this tiger? ”
Luo Han gently stroked the fur on the top of the tiger's head, like caressing a big cat, and roared aggrievedly regardless of the poor little brain axe.
"Such a cute pet, of course, you have to keep it. Let's go, go back and see how Kariam reacts. Anyway, without us, he wouldn't have been sure to go to the lava lake, otherwise he wouldn't have fooled us under the guise of a guide. ”
Meng Fei saw Luo Han riding a big tiger back, and said with envy: "Boss, where did you catch the mount?" It's just mighty and domineering. ”
Luo Han glanced at the indifferent Kaliam in the hammock above his head, and said with a smile: "This is not as simple as a mount, I found that the body fluids of this tiger can poison evil beasts, do you say it is powerful?" I don't know if other animals have this effect? "Baidu: The Final Trial of Death: Jiezhong Literature" The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
