Chapter 187: The Pursuer
In the long night of the silent mountains, Mivile and Hess alternate vigils with their mercenary subordinates. Finally, the far end of the horizon glowed with the white morning light, and morning came.
The time came to seven o'clock in the morning, and Mivier, who was sleeping lightly against the stone wall of the cave, suddenly opened her eyes, her biological clock was very deep, and she was never late.
"Get up and keep searching." Mivile stood up and shouted, her voice quiet, but it was extremely majestic. All the mercenaries immediately got up from their bedcloths and put on their arms.
Mivier's two slender legs also look sexual through the black combat pants. Full of feeling, she stood upright, like an indestructible iron pine.
Hess also stood up, straightening his gentleman's hat and glaring at Mivier's face.
The search he had been waiting for had finally started again.
Miviel led the team out of the cave, and as soon as they came out of the cave, the team formation quickly dispersed, divided into scout teams from the southeast and northwest, in groups of two. The rest stayed with Mivile and Hess. Hess stood at the front of the middle group, carefully examining the surroundings with hunters' techniques as he went, looking for traces left by humans.
After about an hour, the scouts from the north returned. The scout mercenary reported: "Report to the commander, deputy commander, 500 meters due north, found a team of 6 people, weapons are bows, spears, shields, dressed very primitively, it seems to be numb, animal skin clothes. None of them met the objectives of the mission. ”
Hess listened to the scout's report, and his eyes fluttered with surprise. The surprise quickly turned into surprise, Hess licked his lips, and was about to speak, when he heard Mivile speak first.
"It seems that there is a large human population in this mountain. Tell the scout in front of you to keep his distance and keep track of him until the Commander rushes over. ”
"Yes." The scout mercenary answered, then quickly returned the way he came, disappearing into the wooded jungle.
Hess smiled playfully, his right hand stroking the gun stuck in his tactical belt through his black trench coat, and he could feel it trembling faintly, making a trembling desire to kill.
"The whole team is speeding up, make sure to catch the unidentified six." Mivile ordered. She was the first to rush out, and as soon as her slender and plump legs stepped out, she instantly opened a distance of 5 meters from the team members behind her.
"Keep up, don't be left behind!" Hess roared, then rushed out at the same speed. The long swing of the black trench coat was raised in the wind, and the hunt sounded, but Hess's speed was not slowed down in the slightest because of the large area of his body hindered by the wind. He quickly ran to a position just one position away from Miviel and maintained the same speed.
The rest of the heavily armed mercenaries quickly followed, and the middle team ran through the jungle at a speed of 20 meters per second. Soon they saw the two mercenaries of the Scout Group to the north, and it only took 1 second to switch from sprinting to stride.
Miviel quickly settled beside the two scouts, and in front of them was a dense bush that was an average of 4 feet tall.
The scout pointed 200 meters ahead, past the upper end of the bushes, and Mivile followed the direction the scout was pointing and saw a team of six that was identical to the description.
The six-person team is the hunter team of Xujiazhai, led by Captain Hong, two melee hunters, a reconnaissance hunter, a long-range hunter, and an auxiliary hunter, which is the most basic configuration for hunting out of the village.
Today, Gao Yuan happens to be among them.
At this moment, the hunter team that didn't notice Miviel and the others was fighting against a mutated clouded leopard.
This mutant clouded leopard has the ability to become a behemoth, with a body length of 130 centimeters, a tail length of 110 centimeters, and a shoulder height of more than 1 meter, reaching the weight of an adult male. The speed of the huge clouded leopard has not decreased, but has increased, and with each culling of its claws, it can scratch the claw marks of the purple shirt with a depth of 5 centimeters, and the whip tail can break the purple shirt tree held by one person.
The mutated clouded leopard was now very hungry, and during the brief confrontation with the hunter team, the open bloody mouth was dripping saliva every moment, and the leopard's eyes glowed with a deep and terrifying green light.
The Hunters had already formed their formation, with two melee hunters in front of the row, and ranged hunters and scout hunters in the back rows with their bows and real iron arrows.
At one point, the mutated clouded leopard burst into action, bursting out at a dizzying speed over a short distance. Captain Hong in the back row immediately issued a quick and accurate order, and the two melee hunters raised their shields and arched towards the head of the mutant clouded leopard from the left and right sides in an angular manner, and blocked the mutant clouded leopard's front paws with a solid and heavy oiled wooden shield.
With a loud bang, the mutant clouded leopard's front paws only left a one-centimeter-deep wound on the surface of each of the two oiled wooden shields and slid open. The two melee hunters not only did not get knocked away by the clouded leopard's assault, but instead caused the slender body of the mutant clouded leopard to stagnate for half a second, revealing a fatal flaw!
When it was too late, the long-range hunter and the reconnaissance hunter loosely fired arrows, and the sharp arrows flew through the air in a spiral attitude, instantly hitting the two shoulders of the mutant clouded leopard! The iron arrowheads, which have been sharpened to a repeating spiral shape with a special process, have excellent armor-piercing ability, and the tough flesh of the behemoth is like cutting paper.
Scorching blood flew out of the mutated clouded leopard's shoulder wound, and the mutant clouded leopard let out a rhythmic roar, the voice sharp and poignant. Its two front legs bent down sharply, as if they had been wounded to the bone.
The melee hunter cooperated tacitly, and at the same time attacked from the left and right, and the mutant clouded leopard's hind limbs stepped rapidly on the ground, trying to retreat and dodge, and then it was unable to use its forefeet flexibly with a shoulder injury, and was chased by two hunters, and was hit on the head by an oiled wooden shield.
The two melee hunters each held a short spear in their other hand and stabbed the clouded leopard into the throat from under the shield, the clouded leopard raised its claws to resist, and its left paw was pierced by the sharp short spear, but it failed to prevent the short spear from the lower right.
Hiss-The short spear plunged deep into the mutated clouded leopard's relatively weak throat, and a large amount of arterial blood poured out like a fountain of blood. The melee hunters who succeeded in one blow retreated three steps in a row, watching as the mutated clouded leopard's body began to stagger. After a fatal wound to the throat, he desperately wanted to fight back.
Two arrows shot out from the exaggerated giant bow, and the mutated clouded leopard avoided the vital point of the arrow attack in the struggle for survival, but was scratched on the right hind leg.
In the next twenty seconds, melee hunters and ranged hunters cooperated tacitly, opening up the camp and playing Tai Chi to consume the last physical strength of the mutant clouded leopard that was bound to die. Twenty seconds later, the mutant clouded leopard's heavy body slammed to the ground, completely cutting off its breath.
No one in the hunter team showed a particularly happy expression, and Captain Hong did not smile, as if hunting an adult mutant clouded leopard was just a routine for them, not a huge achievement.
This battle of less than 40 seconds suddenly began and ended abruptly, deeply reflected in Miviel's eyes. Mivile didn't take this group of weapons as primitive "natives" at all. Luckily, she saw the fight before the attack, and she let go of her underestimating mentality.
