Chapter 228: Brother Stone
Zhang Qiru didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up, he found that it was already a little dark. Maybe he was too tired, Zhang Qiru still felt a little dazed. He forced himself to pick himself up and prepared to go to the ground. As a result, he looked to the ground and was startled. I don't know when, a big cat was resting under the tree, it should have not found Zhang Qiru, otherwise he would not be so honest.
Zhang Qiru didn't dare to make any big moves, for fear of disturbing this guy. If the big cat is a solitary animal, Zhang Qiru will not be afraid, but unfortunately, the last experience told him that the big cat is a typical social animal, so it is better to cause less trouble. Zhang Qiru looked at the big cat very quietly, constantly thinking about how to get out.
It didn't take long for it to get darker. Zhang Qiru hadn't come up with any good ideas, when he suddenly heard a slight footstep not far away, although the sound was slight, but Zhang Qiru heard it clearly. The big cat seemed to notice it too, and immediately raised its head and stared around vigilantly.
Zhang Qiru also looked at the surroundings cautiously. Condescendingly, Zhang Qiru saw several vague figures approaching the big cat, holding weapons in their hands, but they couldn't see what they were. The big cat, already completely sure that someone was coming, stood up slightly, looking ahead.
Zhang Qiru was a little puzzled. Since these people live in the forest, they should know about big cats, but their approach is obviously not very reasonable, and attacking social animals is not a good choice. Obviously, these guys seem to have a lot of self-confidence and don't worry much about being attacked by the other big cats, and their formation is clearly in a surrounding posture - a tactic that is only possible when I am outnumbered.
"Could it be that this big cat lives alone?" Zhang Qiru muttered.
In fact, not all social animals live in groups, and there are also individuals who live alone, such as lions, and all lions that have been expelled from the lion pack live alone, so the occasional appearance of individuals living alone is nothing new.
"Looks like these guys have been staring at the big cats for a while!" Zhang Qiru thought that if he wanted to determine whether an animal lived alone, he still had to go through a certain period of observation.
The group kept approaching the big cat, without impatience, and kept approaching step by step. The big cat noticed that there were a lot of people on the other side, and it was a little timid, but it did not flinch, but bared its teeth and roared at the crowd.
Sou! The sound of a crossbow arrow piercing the air came, and Zhang Qiru could hear that these people were using crossbows and bows and arrows, and they were very powerful. The arrow did not hit the big cat, but it startled the big cat and immediately jumped back. Then, more bolts were fired, and the sound of whizzing wind breaking was very imposing.
When a dozen crossbow arrows were fired in a volley, the big cat could not avoid all the attacks anyway, and about three or four crossbow arrows were fired. The big cat was injured and knew that he couldn't beat the gang, so he began to prepare to escape. The big cat turned around and ran. However, the gang had no intention of chasing, but just followed behind, blocking the way of the big cat.
The big cat continued to run forward, and suddenly let out a scream. Zhang Qiru followed the sound and saw that the big cat was hanging by a rope net, and several people were holding sharpened wooden stakes to stab the big cat's body. The big cat screamed miserably, and the gang showed no mercy, stabbing dozens of times in a row, and finally stabbed the big cat to death on the spot.
"Good tactics!" Zhang Qiru said with emotion.
First let a group of people attack from a distance, forcibly repel the big cat, in the big cat is afraid to escape on the way to not know the trap, the big cat panicked and will inevitably fall into the trap, at this time another fatal blow, it's perfect! It not only ensures the safety of their own people, but also ensures the success rate of hunting.
"I hope they didn't find me!" Zhang Qiru said.
He climbed high enough to be unspotted under the shade of dense foliage, and with the green camouflage uniform on his body, he should have been a better camouflage. But Zhang Qiru never fully believed this, and he was still ready to be discovered.
"Brother Shi, it's not early, let's hurry up and go back!" A black figure said to the other.
"Well, hurry up! Hunting has been getting harder and harder lately, and several food sources have been taken over by evolved creatures. Another said.
This person's name is Brother Shi, and he should be the leader of this group. Zhang Qiru could feel that this person's ability was not ordinary, and he was likely to be the boss of the entire team.
After Brother Shi finished speaking, a group of people began to lower the rope net, and then tied the body of the big cat with a rope and hung it on a large log, just like people carried a fat pig in the past. The big cat should have more than 100 pounds, and it doesn't take much effort for three or four big men to carry it. A group of people packed up and were about to leave.
Zhang Qiru held his breath on the tree and watched the actions of a group of people not far away. After a while, these people left, and they should not have found Zhang Qiru. After the group walked away, Zhang Qiru waited a few more minutes before jumping off the tree. Looking at the direction in which a group of people left, Zhang Qiru thought about it and decided to follow.
Zhang Qiru held the knife in his hand, buckled the equipment on his body to avoid making abnormal noises, and then began to track. Zhang Qiru followed for ten minutes, and those people were always in his field of vision, but they were all relatively blurry. Walking and walking, Zhang Qiru felt that something was wrong, these guys' tactics were so good, their vigilance could not be so low, and besides, the person named Brother Shi should not be an ordinary person.
Zhang Qiru was pondering in his heart, when his feet suddenly slipped, and he felt that his ankles were put on a rope. Zhang Qiru secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and at the last moment, Zhang Qiru suddenly lifted the foot that was covered, so as not to be pulled down by the rope and lose his balance, and then raised the knife and cut the rope directly, avoiding the dilemma of being hung on the tree.
As soon as Zhang Qiru escaped the catastrophe, he felt that someone was sneaking up behind him. He hurriedly bent his knees and bowed his head, and a stick swung directly through the back of his head. Zhang Qiru got up slightly, kicked out with his right foot, and directly kicked the person behind him more than a meter. Then, Zhang Qiru ran forward a few steps in a row, and distanced himself from the two people who suddenly came up behind him, causing their attacks to be missed. Zhang Qiru turned around and stood still, took out his pistol and prepared to shoot. At this time, Zhang Qiru felt the danger coming, and subconsciously hid behind the tree.
Sou! A crossbow arrow came over and almost hit Zhang Qiru. Zhang Qiru knew that this was a prepared ambush on the other side, and he no longer stayed in place, but ran violently into the distance. Running, rolling, jumping, a series of movements in one go, dozens of crossbow arrows shot over without touching the corners of Zhang Qiru's clothes. Soon, Zhang Qiru ran out of dozens of meters and escaped from the attack range of the crossbow.
"Brother Shi, do you want to chase?" One asked.
"Wait where you are, don't act rashly. It's a master, it's not appropriate to run away and chase him, see if you can ambush him again. Brother Shi said.
"Okay!" The man agreed.
Zhang Qiru watched from a hundred and ten meters away that these people neither pursued nor retreated, and knew that he had met a real master again.
