Section 08 The Beast

Go home.

What ordinary two words.

After School ......

After Hours......

After the meal......

After a business trip......

But when this fantastic thing happened to Chen Yin, in fact, he was already very clear in his heart that the word "home" may only be a luxury from now on.

Although he pretended to be optimistic and set goals for himself, forcing himself to believe that there was still hope. But if you think about it, the chances are hopelessly slim.

But now, the word "home" doesn't seem so far away.

Although the witch may not have a way to send her back, Chen Yin at least has a real goal to pursue.

After seeing the female thief in black clothes and black dress leave, Chen Yin returned to the kitchen, scooped out the coarse rye flour from the wooden box containing the flour, half-filled the life-saving box that had been washed and dried, and stuffed the half-cooked meat steak into the life-saving box after thickly smearing it with a layer of salt.

Finally, he put away the hides on the table and cautiously walked out of the town with his shotgun.

It seems that Chen Yin's caution is superfluous, and Chen Yin has found no other traces except for hoof prints on the ground. It seems that the dangerous woman really just came back looking for that card.

After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Yin's speed became faster.

The quality of the dirt road in the other world is not bad, although it is inevitable that there are potholes, but compared to the high mountain valleys encountered during archaeology, this dirt road through farmland is better to walk.

As we got farther and farther away from the ruined town, the farmland on both sides of the road thinned out. Eventually, all traces of human activity disappeared on both sides of the road, leaving only tall weeds and a few scattered trees.

Judging by the vegetation on both sides of the road, there should be less rain here, and there should be no major rivers nearby - if the water source is abundant, the trees will grow more densely and even form forests.

In this way, Chen Yin observed the lonely progress of the vegetation on both sides of the road. All he could do was the scorching sun in the sky and the sweat running down his cheeks.

After a simple meal of compressed biscuits at noon, Chen Yin embarked on the journey again.

Constant repetition is very patient draining, especially when it comes to simple repetition with no hope. Just when Chen Yin felt that his patience was almost exhausted, the scenery in front of him finally changed.

After climbing a small hill, the fields as far as the eye can see are finally gone, replaced by mountains and jungles.

To Chen's left, a lush forest stretched across the dirt road; On Chen Yin's right, the half-human-high grass formed a vast grassland.

The grassland gradually climbs higher with the terrain, and with a very gentle slope, it becomes a mountain range in a far, far distance. The peaks of that mountain range are not steep, but tend to be flat from some angles. Chen Yin suddenly remembered what the two big men were talking about before, what "Orc Plateau", could it be here?

"Uhhhhhhh

Suddenly, there was a strange roar in the sky with a long tail.

A ghost-faced bird flew over Chen Yin's head.

Just when Chen Yin was still marveling at the ugliness of the strange bird, the grass in the distance suddenly shook violently, and then a swaying grass line stretched quickly in the direction of Chen Yin, and almost in an instant, Chen Yin judged that he would never be able to run away, even if he threw away the baggage, he couldn't escape! The speed of that wild thing was very fast, and it only took a few tens of seconds to pounce in front of Chen Yin!

There is an ambush?

No, it's not like an ambush by humans, it's more like some kind of beast.

Or more specifically, this is supposed to be some kind of group-hunting beast. In addition to the grass line rushing head-on, the weeds in several other directions were also shaking slightly, although it was not so intense, but Chen Yin's experience told him that it should be several beasts of similar size.

Launching an onslaught with one of them to attract attention, while the other members surround and ambush, is a core tactic of group hunting.

Wolf?

Or a lion?

Chen Yin has broken his ribs by a dying wild boar, surrounded by a wolf pack of dead members, followed by a hungry mountain lion for 7 days and 6 nights, and overturned by a brown bear who guards his son. In the past few years of following Professor Joshua's death, in addition to the rapid improvement of archaeological knowledge, Chen Yin has also exercised a big heart.

Although he is nervous in the face of danger, he will not be as nervous as a rookie. Stimulated by a large amount of adrenaline, Chen Yin unhurriedly took off the small suitcase containing the bullet from his backpack and hung it to his side, while his brain spun rapidly.

Medium-sized animals.

Deer bullets are not necessarily reliable.

They want to ...... Kick me out of the forest?

Then I'll have to go into the forest!

Chen Yin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Hanging the lifebox containing food on the suspension system under the backpack, and freeing his hands, Chen Yin broke the barrel of the gun, replaced a scattered bullet in the magazine with a single-headed bullet, closed the gun magazine with a "snap", held the shotgun horizontally, and walked down the roadbed of the dirt road with a grim face, splitting the tall weeds, and facing the beast in front.

From the sound of the strange bird's whistle to Chen Yin's decision, it was only a short dozen seconds.

Accurate and rapid judgment left Chen Yin with a glimmer of life.

Behind Chen Yin, the others were still sneaking in the grass, and they didn't notice Chen Yin's behavior that was different from that of ordinary prey, so their positions began to disconnect.

At least for a minute, Chen Yin only needs to face the one in front of him.

First of all, the first level that Chen Yin has to pass is to accurately hit the attacking beast under the interference of weeds.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The adrenaline and the weight on his back made Chen Yin's breathing start to heavily.

The weeds around him were shoulder-high, and since he stepped down from the roadbed, Chen Yin's vision suddenly became very narrow, and it was difficult to see movement in the distance. It's a great experience like stepping on your feet and looking out in the crowd during the Chinese New Year's holiday, or looking out in the heat of summer when you're in a swimming pool with only your head out of the water.

Shooting in this case becomes difficult, the vision is not good, and the surrounding weeds will also act as bulletproof, and as the grass splits will also cause the projectile to lose most of its energy.

But this is a difficulty that must be overcome.

Standing on the roadbed will have a better view, but the shooting range is still bad, and only when the beast is about to break out of the grass can the projectile bring enough energy into the beast's body, in contrast to being besieged by more beasts. So after just a second of thinking, Chen Yin decisively gave up the false sense of security brought by a wide field of vision, and only in this way can he survive!

The sound of weeds shaking is getting closer!

Suddenly, a pitch-black figure sprang out of the grass! Rushed at Chen Yin!

"Bumper!!"

Two gunshots rang out in almost no particular order!
