Chapter 48: The Hunt
A long roar came into Ji Yuan's ears, and Ji Yuan, who was walking around the following Ji Yu, was particularly familiar with this sound, which was a roar emitted by a humanoid intelligent creature.
In the early days when intelligent beings did not have language, they relied on this kind of roar to convey their meanings to each other.
After Ji Yuan heard this, he turned the direction of the aircraft, increased the altitude, turned on the overall stealth function, and flew in the direction where the sound came.
The aircraft was flying forward at a constant speed, and suddenly a big black shadow jumped up from the ground below and jumped directly to Ji Yuan's side not far away. Directly Ji Yuan, but was taken aback.
Ji Yuan raised the height of the aircraft a little more, and she thought that the stealth function of the aircraft was broken and was seen by the creatures below.
After the big black shadow jumped up, it fell straight down from the air again, but just landed and jumped straight into the air.
Ji Yuan fixed his body shape, and then he saw that the big black shadow was a bunching antelope, and its face was very similar to that of an antelope on the earth, but its body was larger, and its forelimbs were shorter than those with particularly developed hind limbs. The only difference is that he has a pitch-black fur and only a horn in the middle of his head, and when he encounters danger, he will use his talent for jumping to escape.
I saw the jumper jump a few hundred meters high, and when it fell, it was already a few hundred meters away.
It's just that no matter how it jumps, Ji Yuan saw that there were always three figures in the woods behind it closely following it, and Ji Yuan knew very well that these people were hunting the bunching antelope in front of it.
They also jumped forward one by one, and unlike the jumper, although not as high as the jumper, the lowest one was about twenty meters high, and they were not on the flat ground.
Instead, it is on the branches, although it is not as flat and convenient as the ground, but the advantage of wide vision is also obvious, and the direction of the escape of the bungee can be better determined.
Ji Yuan stood on top of the flying machine and chased in the direction of the jumper's escape, following closely behind the three figures all the way.
After getting closer, Ji Yuan was overjoyed, judging from the body shape behind the three figures, these were the three humanoid creatures, but they were still in the early stage of humanoid civilization, and they were naked, only the lower body was wrapped with some animal fur or huge leaves.
The physical appearance of these three people is roughly the same as that of human beings on the earth, the difference is that their taller stature is generally close to about two meters five, like the three people in front of Ji Yuan, the height is already close to about two meters eight, in addition to this, the most obvious difference is that the three of them also have long tails behind them.
Ji Yuan was not much surprised by the appearance of the three of them, she had seen all kinds of creatures over the years, not to mention long tails, even humanoid creatures with wings or horns.
Ji Yuan once asked Ji Yu why these people looked so strange, obviously they were all humanoid.
Ji Yu gave her a detailed explanation
"In fact, the environment of each planet is different, and the creatures cultivated must be different, although humanoid creatures are not easy to be born, but for the entire universe, there are many places to meet the birth of humanoid creatures."
"Because of the different living environments, the advantages of humanoids are manifested: evolution. Depending on the environment in which they live, they will evolve some necessary limbs to help them survive, such as wings, tails, horns, etc. These evolved limbs can help them better survive in their own planetary environment. ”
"This is the most obvious manifestation of the advantages of humanoids over other creatures."
Ji Yuan didn't think much about it, and still followed closely behind the three of them.
Ji Yuan was not close to the three of them, but followed behind the three of them from a distance, the tails of the three were swinging left and right, trying their best to maintain the balance of their bodies, or jumping, or jumping, or swinging, although the movements were not very elegant, but the speed was not slow at all, and they were closely chasing the bungeal in front of them.
The three of them chased and roared.
It was like some kind of communication, or driving the bungee somewhere.
In this way, he hid his figure all the way and followed behind.
After ten minutes of heeling, Ji Yuan found that the bunguling antelope in front of him had shown fatigue, and the height of the jump was no longer as high as the previous jump of several hundred meters, and the highest was more than a hundred meters, and the height was still slowly decreasing.
Obviously, its physical strength is no longer good.
The three people who followed closely behind them finally moved, only to see each of them pull out a one-meter-long thin tube from their waists and fill it with a spike.
The entire spike is shiny black and a full ten centimeters long.
While the tube was removed and the spikes were attached, the three of them did not stop moving between the branches, and were not affected in any way.
After the reloading, several people did not attack directly, but continued to chase after the direction of the jumper's escape.
After a while, Ji Yuan noticed that there was a lot of movement on the left and right sides of the front.
After a look at the vehicle's heat source detector, it was found that there was a team of three people on each side, each with a thin tube in his hand, and two of them also had a boomerang made of animal bones in their hands. Directly in the direction of the bungling, he flanked it.
The encirclement of the three squads was getting smaller and smaller, and the three-person squad that Ji Yuan had been following, one of the humanoid creatures roared almost never stopped along the way.
Ji Yuan will be able to see clearly, this is exactly the information that transmits the direction of the prey's escape to the other two team members.
Ji Yuan could see that the bouncing antelope in front of him was exhausted, and the height of the jump was no longer one-tenth of the original.
After a while, the three people who Ji Yuan followed stopped directly on a thick branch on the top of a towering tree. Lifted the thin tube up and took a deep breath the amazing lung capacity was shown through the high bulge of the chest ji yuan finally sighed.
"The evolution of humanoids is really the most powerful weapon in this world."
The three of them put the tube directly into their mouths and aimed at the same target: the bouncing antelope in front of them.
Immediately after that, several people from the other two directions also put the thin tube into their mouths and aimed at the bouncing antelope in the center.
The few people did not attack immediately, and after observing for a while, they all turned their thin tubes in front of the bungee, and the aiming point was changed to a ground not far in front of the bungee.
I saw that after the jumper jumped up, it fell straight down towards the ground where several people were aiming at it, when it was still ten meters above the ground.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
One by one, the spikes were blown out, and a crisp sound came out, and the spikes shot towards the target ground like bullets.
The bouncing antelope was still falling, completely unaware of the danger, and as soon as its body landed on the ground, its hind legs bent rapidly, ready for the next jump.
Just haven't waited for it to move.
"Plop, pounce." The sound of spikes shooting into the flesh came out, and the ten-centimeter-long spikes all pierced into the body of the bunchbuck.
Although the spikes had stabbed its body, it was not enough to make it lifeless, and the bouncing antelope propped itself up, just about to flee to the other side.
There were two more thuds, and two boomerangs made of bones were stuck straight into its head.
After blowing the spikes out just now, the two people holding the boomerang did not stop for long, relying on muscle memory, they directly turned around and twisted their bodies, and relied on inertia and their own arm strength to directly throw the dart towards the springy antelope.
Now the bouncing antelope was finally dead, and one of them yelled again.
Only then did the nine people form a small encirclement and walked towards the jumper.
All this, Ji Yuan saw clearly from a distance.
First chase the bungee with a few good physical strength, let it be physically overdrawn, and finally unite with the other two squads to surround it, after the gymnasium is overdrawn, the spike's hit rate will be greatly increased. The spikes are not lethal, but they can make the jumper lose the ability to escape, and then deliver a fatal blow to someone with strong arms.
Ji Yuan has analyzed all this after reading it, and it is already eight or nine.
Although Ji Yuan looks quite simple, it is not a simple matter for the emerging civilization below.
First of all, you will use your brain to think about the strategy, if you directly attack the bungee head-on, then maybe the bungee will run away without a shadow, and it will waste weapons in vain, and secondly, it will be divided into groups, give full play to everyone's strengths, and most importantly: language communication.
Which one has been roaring has played the most critical role, otherwise the three teams will lose their prey, and no matter how much the prey is lost, it will be useless.
Ji Yuan said to the few people below.
"It's not bad, it's not too stupid, it's a bit of a brain, and it knows how to use stratagem."
All in all: a good hunt.
