At the foot of the mountain is a large area of red pines and low grass, and the view is much wider.

Zhang Luo proposed: "City Lord, after this thorn forest, the mountains are the area where those wild beasts are active, why don't we catch some bait first and rest here tonight?" ”

If you go into the mountains, it will be difficult to find a relatively safe camping place.

Ji Yuning nodded and let everyone disperse.

Some people set up tents, some people cooked, and Su Xiaoting followed one or the other to hunt wild animals.

One of the two uses arrows and the other uses throwing knives, but more often they are guarding the hole and waiting for the rabbit.

First, he is very experienced in finding an exposed hole in the ground, and then igniting a special grass stick at the mouth of the hole, and when the rabbit in the hole comes out of another hole, he will be shot by the two who have been watching nearby.

Su Xiaoting was amazed, and she didn't know how many rabbits the brothers had caught together, so they cooperated so skillfully.

An hour later, the two had caught two rabbits and a large pheasant with a flower tail.

Su Xiaoting deliberately observed, the rabbit was really quite futuristic, not to mention the big size, the hind paws were stronger, and when he ran just now, he was stunned and splashed the dust on the ground.

Besides, the pheasant was not lying in the grass, but was shot in the trees, and it was obvious that his flying skills were not weak. Thinking of those mutated 'big cats', I feel quite understandable.

"Xiaoting, what do you want to eat? I'll get it, and I'll use the rest as bait for tomorrow. One of them turned his knife and looked triumphantly at the prey behind him.

"I'm okay, I couldn't see the prey all the way just now, it turns out that they are so good at hiding!"

"Haha, it's not, from the village to the thorn forest, the people in the village have almost swept away, otherwise there will be more prey, and it will be easy to attract those fierce beasts. The boss said, what is this called... Solid wall clear! ”

By the time we arrived at the camp, several tents had been set up, and several guards were counting the loot they had captured.

I saw Zhang Luo carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and the basket revealed his bright head.

Su Xiaoting chased after her, "Where are you going?" ”

"Oh, I'm going to send Daguang to the hill ahead, tomorrow we're going to go through the valley, there are fewer big cats on the hill, it's safer."

Su Xiaoting hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I send it with you?" ”

Zhang Luo nodded, and the two chatted while walking, and climbed up the mountain after almost a meal, and there happened to be a towering tree on the top of the mountain, shading a piece of green grass.

Zhang Luo took out a handful of venison jerky from his pocket and put it on the ground, "Daguang, you can't be too picky about a bird in the future." ”

Su Xiaoting saw that the strong roots under the tree had formed several natural root holes, so she ran to the vicinity to pull out some long grass and spread it into a root hole.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Daguang finished eating the jerky, Zhang Luo said with some heaviness.

"You go first, I'll see if this tree nest can get in."

Zhang Luo nodded, looked grateful, and turned to leave.

"Daguang, come, do you like it here?" Su Xiaoting beckoned to Daguang.

Daguang actually understood her gesture, went around the roots of the fence, and carefully drilled in. Then, lying down on the haystack like a chicken, "Woohoo! As if in response to Su Xiaoting, it was very satisfied.

Su Xiaoting couldn't help laughing, reached out and touched the miscellaneous hair on its head, "Daguang, thank you today, I have never seen such a brave bird as you!" ”

When she saw it so weak and bravely rushed out to protect her, her first reaction was to never let it get hurt.

From that moment on, it was no longer a ridiculous strange bird.

It's a pity that they can't bring it with them, not to mention the dangerous trip ahead, and they haven't prepared Daguang food.

Zhang Luo said that he picked it up on a similar mountain, and that there should be food for it nearby, and maybe it could grow feathers.

Looking around, Su Xiaoting took out a blue bead from her body, "Daguang, I hope that next time you see you, you will have grown beautiful feathers!" ”

After feeding Daguang and eating the beads, Su Xiaoting slowly walked down the mountain.

A bonfire has been lit in the camp, Su Xiaoting has been assigned an independent small tent, and after eating the dough cake and drinking the pheasant mushroom soup, everyone is already chatting enthusiastically.

Most of them are old guards and guides who share their past encounters with ferocious beasts and the dangers they may encounter in the forest.

There were 21 people on this hunt plus guides, that is, there were 18 guards, and 6 of them were selected this year.

The chief of the guard said that hunting is not only the hunting of fierce beasts, but also a test of cooperation and group consciousness, and the sharpening of personal will, and only those who pass the test can stay.

This is also why, Mu Ling has obviously accumulated a small amount of high-tech equipment, but prefers to use traditional hunting methods.

However, Ji Yuning still prepared a suit for Su Xiaoting in the clothes of the United States, which are warm and waterproof, and have excellent toughness.

Before going to bed, Su Xiaoting mended the clothes scratched by the big cat, if it weren't for the special material of this clothes, I am afraid that there would be a bloody mark on her arm.

Then took out the dagger that Ji Yuning borrowed from her for self-defense and looked at it carefully, the blade was light and decorated with a few magic crystals, there was a kind of low-key luxury, and at a glance, you could see that the craftsmanship was extraordinary.

Su Xiaoting's heart was warm, and she fell asleep with peace of mind holding the dagger~

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, each of them carried a waist knife, carried clothes and food, stored the necessary items close to his body, and took only two horses with his burden, and marched towards the valley in front of him.

There are small rivers flowing from rainwater in the valleys, and the trees are sparser than in the mountains.

After walking for more than half an hour, except for the 'roe deer' who was drinking at the water's edge, he saw them flee quickly, and did not see the shadow of half a fierce beast.

"There are roe deer, and it is estimated that those beasts are not far away!" Ah Tao said.

Ji Yuning raised his hand, "Chief of the guard, you take a group of people to the back mountain, and the rest of the people will go up from here with me, and after one and a half hours, they will meet in the valley in front, and Zhang Luo and Xizi will stay to guard the horses." ”

"Yes!" The chief of the guard agreed, and divided half of his strength to go to the fork in the road.

Ji Yuning carried a bow and arrows and quiver, and walked towards the mountain with his personal guards and the rest of the people.

When we arrived at the mountain, we were separated by a group of 3, but we made sure that we could take care of each other.

"Those beasts have too good noses and sharp ears, and they don't dare to come out when there are too many people." One of them whispered.

Su Xiaoting looked at Ji Yuning, who had changed into a dark green power suit, and felt extremely relieved. It's just that his erected white hair is still too eye-catching. I really don't know if it's easy to attract wild beasts or scare away those fierce beasts.

Suddenly, the tall back in front stopped, and Su Xiaoting almost hit it, but fortunately, the brakes were in time, but a few strands of hair brushed between her nose.

"Boss?" one of them.

"Don't move!"

Su Xiaoting froze, and could only lean back slightly, turning her head slightly to look ahead.

After a few breaths, with a strange grinding sound, a golden spotted python swam out of the low tree 5 meters in front of the left.

Although Su Xiaoting couldn't see its full face clearly, she could feel that it was swimming very fast, and the python body was thick and long.

It did not seem to find a potential enemy and continued to swim forward.

At the moment when it passed by a few people, Ji Yuning jumped up, as fast as lightning, pulled out a feather arrow, and shot it with a bow in the air.

Su Xiaoting was able to see clearly that the golden-colored python was actually double-headed, and the seven inches of a snake's head had already submerged into a cluster of arrows.

At this time, Ji Yuning's second arrow had been shot at the head of the other snake, and the big snake seemed to feel danger, and its body contracted sharply, like a spring, and it bounced towards the grass opposite.
