Wangshan ran a dead horse, and everyone deliberately slowed down. So after more than ten days, reaching the Lingjin Mountain Range is still far away.

But everyone was assigned a simple animal skin garment, which, combined with the stretchy fabric they wore, made it easy to keep warm in the harsh nights. In each of the guardians, a dagger-turned-spear or a longbow and arrow made of tough vine and hardwood.

It's like a primitive tribe on the move. According to the plan, everyone will be stationed in the open grassland highlands at their feet for a long time of repair and training.

Everyone was busy, leveling the ground, cutting down trees, making some simple cooking utensils and tents, and even setting up a rudimentary wooden fence around the heights.

Everything was planned and looked well organized. The main thing is that for half a month, except for a few people who were slightly injured in the hunt, there were no losses in personnel.

"Maybe! This will be another starting point for humanity in Sirte! Li Ling squatted down and gently grabbed a handful of brown dirt.

An implicated ant pinched his skin fiercely, and Li Ling smiled and gently took the new neighbor down and put it back in its original position, hoping that his tentacles would help him find his way home.

When he turned around, Li Ling saw Qin Xiaoyu sitting on a cut tree trunk, using a spike to concentrate on sewing the clothes that were too rudimentary for him. Because the sun here was too scorching, Qin Xiaoyu's head was covered with a large thick leaf, but his sun-tanned face was still flowing with crystal sweat.

Li Ling couldn't help but sigh at the warmth and beauty of this picture, and was also glad that he could have this cross-time and space feeling.

"Yikes!" Qin Xiaoyu screamed softly, as if her fingertips had been pierced by spikes, but she immediately rubbed it on her body, pretending that nothing had happened, as if she was afraid that others would think she was clumsy.

Li Ling was stunned for a short time, and then secretly blamed himself for his selfishness. He was originally a child from a mountain village, and although Qin Xiaoyu had been trained in the army, he grew up in a bustling city, and he was a very emotional girl. How could she get used to such a rudimentary life?

Li Ling secretly vowed not only to protect Qin Xiaoyu, but also to take care of her feelings, so that she could easily integrate into the life here.

Of course, as an adjutant, he has the same responsibility for everyone else.

There was a "rubbing" of footsteps from far and near. The honest man Wang Yue hurriedly ran over. Judging by his stumbling steps and heavy gasps, it seemed as if something important was going on.

"What's going on? Wang Yue! Li Ling immediately rushed up and asked.

"Report to Adjutant Li!" According to Ge Jin's request, Wang Yue hurriedly and respectfully gave a military salute. "Big guy! The hunting party has met the big guy! Commander Ge has already passed, let me call all the guards to help! ”

"Has anyone been hurt!?" Li Ling was taken aback. How tricky it must be for a beast that even Gejin can't deal with.

"Not yet!" Wang Yue took a few more breaths before saying, "Don't get me wrong, we surrounded those two brutes!" Captain Ma Qiang said, put down those two big guys, the bare fur is enough for us to make a few big blankets! Let's get over there! ”

"Then lead the way!" Li Ling relaxed, and as he spoke, he clutched a pointed spear in his hand.

"I'll go too!" Qin Xiaoyu threw the clothes he was sewing to the ground, and held his dagger in his hand, looking even more excited than Li Ling.

"No need beauty, it's a great achievement for you to help the chief mend his clothes!" Li Ling quipped. In his mind, Qin Xiaoyu has always been the beautiful and proud little girl who needs protection, and this has been the case since they first met.

"What, look down on me? I'm a guardian, a soldier with the title of King of War! Qin Xiaoyu picked up the dagger and swung it a few times, and the sharp blade drew several bright arcs, which was very beautiful! That's the perfect combination of power and speed.

"But ......" Li Ling still felt that it was inappropriate. He believed in Qin Xiaoyu's combat effectiveness, but felt that it was difficult for her to adapt to that kind of bloody slaughter.

Wang Yue couldn't help but urge: "It's okay, Adjutant Li, I'll let my sister-in-law stand farther away, just don't let the blood of those beasts stain her beautiful clothes and beloved little dagger!" With that, Wang Yue took the lead and ran into the distance.

"What do you say?! See if I don't clean you up! Qin Xiaoyu smiled and chased after Wang Yue.

Li Ling shook her head, thinking that it would be good for Xiao Yu to see the hunting scene, she would get used to it sooner or later. Thinking of this, he no longer insisted, and chased after him.

……

Before the three of them could reach their positions, the howl of piercing the eardrums rang out from a distance, and Li Ling felt that the ground under his feet was also trembling by the impact of sound waves.

From a distance, Li Ling saw two giant beasts that were much larger than African elephants surrounded by everyone, their bodies were covered with long white hair, and even their heads and faces were covered by long hair, and they couldn't see their appearance clearly.

At this moment, the two giant beasts had a lot of arrow feathers stuck in their bodies, and their bodies were leaning against a raised mountain rock, as if they were planning to resist to the end.

There was no need to think about it, Li Ling also knew that if those two big guys wanted to escape, no one would be able to stop them. But strangely enough, they have been hovering next to the boulders.

"Oh my God, what kind of animal is this, it's even taller than an African elephant!" Qin Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise.

"You're right! Madame Sir! Ma Qiang shouted next to him. This guy is supposed to be a short-nosed mammoth! I once read it in an old book! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, captain, you haven't graduated from junior high school, and you've read ancient books?!" Wang Yue laughed as he raised the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed at the giant beast.

Perhaps by luck, Wang Yue shot an arrow into the neck of a giant beast, causing it to roar again. Everyone couldn't help but cover their ears!

"Don't get close, stand ten feet away, shoot from a distance!" Ge Jin shouted a few times in the other direction.

Soon, more arrows and spears rained down, almost covering the ground beneath the behemoth's feet, and one of the hairy monsters howled and protected the other.

"Look! And a small one! Someone shouted.

Li Ling took a closer look, and sure enough, under the boulder, there was a cub less than a meter long. And the two full-grown long-haired beasts were apparently its parents.

Judging by their vastly different sizes, the cub must have just been born, and was curled up in a corner in horror, refusing to stand up despite how its parents could fiddle with it.

It seems that this is a family of three in the wilderness of Sirte Star, who originally lived a leisurely life on their own turf. And now, their peaceful lives have been shattered, and they are even about to be ruthlessly killed by their own intruders!

To be honest, Li Ling never liked such things. Even if it was a bug, he could feel the desire to survive. Not to mention this huge life!

"Perhaps, this is the law of nature, the destiny given to the individual by the Creator!" Li Ling made excuses to comfort himself.

As a commander who is respected and trusted by everyone, it is impossible for him to hide in the rear with peace of mind and just wait to enjoy the results when everyone is unanimous with the outside world.

"Stop! Stop it! Caught off guard, Qin Xiaoyu rushed forward screaming, stopping less than two feet away from the giant beast. They're taking care of a baby, don't you see?! ”

It was as if a cold wind was blowing, and everyone froze there.

Li Ling felt that the blood in his whole body was congealed, and he collapsed his body tightly, ready to sprint: once the two adult giant beasts made any abnormal moves, he had to rush forward to rescue Qin Xiaoyu back.

Those seemingly gentle beasts would not understand Qin Xiaoyu's kindness, and they might launch a surprise attack on her.

But right now, Li Ling must not rush forward rashly, otherwise the two injured giant beasts may go crazy immediately.

Worried that the flying arrow would injure Qin Xiaoyu by mistake, the others also put away the hard bow in their hands.

Ma Qiang looked at Li Ling suspiciously, and complained heavily: "Li ...... Adjutant Lee...... What kind of thing is this?! ”

"Shut up!" Li Ling stopped the captain's complaint and shouted at Qin Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, come back quickly!" Wounded brutes can easily rise up and hurt people, and you will die! ”

"But didn't you see that?! They would rather get an arrow to protect their young! They're not those savage brutes! They have feelings! Qin Xiaoyu glanced back, as if he saw that the behemoth was staring at him, begging for her mercy and help.

"Every life has feelings!" Ge Jin yelled impatiently. "We've done harm. If they don't end their lives, sooner or later they will come to take revenge on us! ”

"But......" Qin Xiaoyu knew that Ge Jin was right, but she thought to herself that she couldn't just give up, she had to fight for something. Otherwise her conscience would be troubled.

Qin Xiaoyu glanced back again, and then stubbornly stood up straight, with a look of carrying it to the end.

"Little girl!" For Li Ling's sake, Ge Jin patiently persuaded. "How about we promise to give these three big guys a happy death?"

Qin Xiaoyu's face was red and white for a while, and he looked even more angry, and he even turned his head and showed an indifferent look.

Someone had already become impatient and shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

Li Ling knew that if Qin Xiaoyu was not persuaded to come back as soon as possible, if there would be any danger, everyone would put the blame on her head.

But Qin Xiaoyu was able to sacrifice his life to protect the giant beast family, so naturally he would not give in easily. She must at least feel that she had helped the poor beast, even if it was the slightest help.

"I promise!" Li Ling shouted at Qin Xiaoyu - and at the same time shouted to everyone. "Make sure you don't hurt that cub, okay?"

Qin Xiaoyu hoped that this sentence would be said by Ge Jin, so that it would not cause trouble to his beloved Li Ling. But she knew that it was impossible for everyone to make any concessions because of their willfulness.

Glancing back again, Qin Xiaoyu slowly retreated into the crowd unwillingly.

The two long-haired giant beasts had been surprisingly quiet during the confrontation between Qin Xiaoyu and the others.

And now, in a few deafening hisses, the two hairymen stood up separately, keeping their cubs out behind them.

Li Ling had a strange feeling. The two hairymen understood their conversation and were ready to accept death in exchange for the cub's chance to live.

Arrows rained down through the air, sticking densely into their wall-like bodies.
