Chapter 51: Bait

Haruka, who was chosen by the Spirit of the Ancestors, only meditated for a moment before standing up. The rest of the hunters, including the Great Elder, were still meditating with their eyes closed, trying to memorize the knowledge imprinted by the Ancestral Spirit.

This kind of knowledge dissipates quickly, and how much you can comprehend in a limited time depends on your personal ability.

The Ancestral Spirit did not choose people based entirely on strength, for example, several samurai and arrows were not chosen. It doesn't seem to rely on piety, and the loudest ones weren't chosen.

When Huang Quan was thinking about what the criteria for selecting people from the Ancestral Spirit were, Yao pulled his sleeve and whispered, "The combat skills passed down from the ancestors don't seem to be as powerful as what you taught!" ”

"Of course." After watching the battle of the settlement hunters, Huang Quan was still very confident in this.

A moment later, all the chosen ones, including the Great Elder, opened their eyes. Unlike the ecstasy at the beginning, this time their faces were mostly confused, and they all found that the martial arts obtained from their ancestors were far from being taught by Huang Quan.

And they also knew that what Huang Quan had taught them was only the most basic things, and those who knew it were significantly higher than one level. As for Huangquan himself, the god of war imagined by the people in the settlement is nothing more than that.

The Great Elder was quite able to hold it, but the eyes of the other hunters looking at Huang Quan were a little wrong, and they looked like they wanted to lie down and worship.

The Great Elder sighed, shook his head again, and began to clean the altar, disassemble it, and repack it.

Huang Quan understood the Great Elder's mood at the moment, the precious ancestor sacrifice opportunity, but the battle skills obtained were not as good as the existing ones, which made people regret and heartache.

However, the Great Elder's choice at that time was not wrong, this time he went to the shelter, there was no return, all the knowledge of craft building was not urgent, and the top priority was still on something that could immediately improve his combat power.

By mid-afternoon, when all the preparations had been completed, the Great Elder came to Huang Quan and asked if he could set off.

Huang Quan nodded, and as when he came, he set off with Haruka and the samurai hunters first, heading in the direction pointed out by the ancestors. The Great Elder took the old and weak of the settlement and delayed it for an hour before setting off.

In the rainforest as ever, nothing is different. Not far from the tribe, there are not many traces of cannibals around, and if you go deeper, there are no traces of cannibals.

Huang Quan has come to realize that the rainforest is the home of cannibals. Many of the traces left by ogres are quickly assimilated into the rainforest, and no matter how careful the Lost People are to disguise their whereabouts, it will take days for the traces left behind to be erased by the growth of the rainforest.

The group walked silently through the rainforest, Yellow Springs still leading the way, and Haruka roamed the periphery, ready to hunt any beasts or man-eaters that approached.

I don't know when the rainforest became more and more silent, and there were no more beasts and birds, and even the sound of insects was completely gone.

Eventually, the hunters' footsteps became harsh, and they involuntarily slowed down their movements, but it didn't help, the rainforest was still quieter, and they could even hear their own heartbeat and blood.

What it means to be quiet, the hunters are well aware. They clenched their weapons and held their breath as they became nervous.

Suddenly the voice of Huang Quan sounded in the rainforest: "Relax, the enemy is not nearby." ”

His voice was calm and steady, and the hunters all breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down. In the rainforest, prolonged stress can cause unnecessary physical attrition.

Huang Quan strode forward, but increased his speed slightly.

The enemy hadn't approached yet, but it was certainly there, and the silence of the rainforest meant that this was the battlefield they had demarcated. Huang Quan doesn't plan to follow the opponent's steps and rhythm, and the faster he goes, the less time he has left for his opponent to react.

Huang Quan's footsteps are getting bigger and bigger, and his speed is getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, he is like a galloping horse, and the last step is directly disappearing from the same place!

In the gap between the dense branches and leaves, an eye suddenly opened, the whites of its eyes were bloodshot, and its pupils were green, indescribably weird. This eye kept turning its head, its pupils enlarging and narrowing from time to time, searching for traces of Huangquan.

A large hand suddenly fell from the sky, grabbed its head, and the force was so great that the eyes burst out and almost burst.

The Yellow Fountain appeared in the treetops, dragging it out of the dense foliage.

It was a very strange man-eater, somewhat similar to the lurker of a four-clawed spider, but more thin and slender, and its limbs were unusually long. It clung to the trunk of the tree with its four paws, resisting the pull of death.

However, Huang Quan's strength was so great that it was completely crushed, and the cannibal grabbed the Dao claw marks on the trunk of the tree, but was still dragged out.

Huang Quan threw it to the ground and stepped on it, then looked it up and down.

The ogre had no humanoid appearance at all, its head was elongated, with a large eyeball at the top, and several compound eyes of varying colors and sizes around it. Just now, it opened its main eye on the top of its head to look for the trace of Huangquan.

With Huang Quan's biological attainments, he knows that the luster of the eyes is different, which means that the light range of perception is different.

This ogre has an unusually sharp ordinary vision, and its pupils have the function of zooming in and out, which is completely like a high-powered telescope of a living organism. Other compound eyes have different modes, including infrared, night vision, and possibly even other vision modes.

In addition to that, it has multiple ear piercings, as well as a surprisingly large wet nose.

It's a full-time scout, and it's just as good at stealth. If it hadn't opened its main eyes, Huangquan might not have been able to spot it. A thin and slender body in the rainforest means agility and speed, along with less exertion.

As you can imagine, it should be able to easily lurk for days without the need to eat.

At the foot of Huang Quan, it struggled desperately, constantly letting out a short and sharp roar, and its four paws kept scratching Huang Quan. However, Huang Quan's whole body was heavily armored, and his defensive power was particularly amazing, even if it drew sparks on the armor, it was actually just a few scratches.

Huang Quan's feet were exerted, and the creek sound kept ringing, and the bones of this man-eating ghost were broken at root, and it screamed loudly in pain, and the high-frequency and low-frequency sounds that were constantly inaudible to human ears were transmitted in all directions.

Huang Quan frowned, a little interested.

This ogre has evolved very well in terms of the function of the class alone, not only has a variety of reconnaissance modes, but also has two sets of long-range means of transmitting information, covering the high-frequency and low-frequency areas.

If it weren't for someone who had a deep understanding of it, I'm afraid it would have unknowingly let it pass on the information.

Huang Quan has a large number of biochemical organs responsible for perception in his body, which can switch between multiple modes, and all the secrets of this ogre cannot be hidden in front of him. Huang Quan knew it was calling for help, but let it signal for help.

The complex environment of the rainforest greatly weakens and hinders the transmission of all kinds of information, and the cannibal is no exception. This scout has a limited range of information and a limited number of ogres to be brought in, and they happen to be able to defeat each of them.

Huang Quan didn't want to kill this scout anymore, so he wandered around with him, letting it cries a few times at intervals, and it wouldn't take a few days to clean up a considerable area of man-eaters.

He gestured behind him, and the hunters immediately dispersed, each looking for a place to hide, ready for an ambush. Yellow Springs stood in the middle of the rainforest, waiting for the arrival of the man-eaters.

However, a full quarter of an hour passed, and the shadow of the ogre was nowhere to be seen, and there was still a deathly silence in the rainforest, except for the cry for help from the ogre at the foot of the Yellow Spring.

Cannibals getting smarter? Or what?

Huang Quan was a little puzzled.

Perhaps the ogres in the area have seen through this trap and are gathering and preparing to rush over together. It's just, does the ogre patrol have such a high level of intelligence? Or did the losses of these days make them adjust the composition of the patrol?

Huang Quan looked at the scout under his feet, and felt that maybe it was not screaming hard enough, so he strengthened his feet, and suddenly made its voice even more high-pitched and miserable.

There was finally movement in the rainforest, and a black mass flew out of the forest and smashed into the yellow spring. Huang Quan remained silent, and with a light touch of the warhammer on the thing, he had already dissolved all the power and gently placed it on the ground.

It was the corpse of a hunter, the young face frozen in the last fears and pains before death. His eyes were wide open, still unwilling to accept the fact that he was dead.

This is a hunter who came with Yellow Springs, ambushing the perimeter of the ambush circle.

Huang Quan raised his head, looked in the direction where the corpse flew out, and said, "Since you're here, why don't you show up?" ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to play with the prey before the final hunt? The rainforest is so boring, how can you do it without having some fun. ”

The other party has not yet appeared, but the voice is soft and charming, and there is a faint temptation.

Huang Quan's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "I found that the prey was too ferocious, so you didn't dare to show up." Soul, I didn't expect you to have the audacity to appear in front of me so soon. ”
