Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hunting in the Woods
The ambush of the numberers failed completely, and after paying the price of several soldiers, they finally escaped the gorilla's pursuit. The numbered ones who regrouped found themselves scattered in the process of running away.
Hu Bin gathers with Sujia and Howard and the three Swadian Numberers, while Fanta joins Kane's gang in the other direction, and through the contact of the Magic Slate, Hu Bin learns that four Swadian Numberers are missing, and the other team does not know their location and cannot join Hu Bin.
"Can you locate it by wolf smoke?" In correspondence Fanta advised.
"No, you managed to get rid of that orangutan, it must still be around here, you did this to show the beasts a target." Hu Bin, who is of half-elf blood, didn't want to light a fire in the jungle.
"What then?" Fanta actually has a sentence that hasn't been said, that is, there is only one compass, and it is still in Hu Bin's hand.
"We are already very close to our destination, we are based on the current position of the sun, the correct way is about 2:30 o'clock, and then we contact every two hours to redirect, there should not be much deviation." Hu Bin finally decided that the two teams would act alone.
Kane's team was outnumbered, and Fanta, a scout and bait, was there, and the Svadia numberers paid a little to get Fanta, who didn't like them, to agree to lure the monster, and then started a new round of hunting, after all, the previous gorilla was just an accident.
However, apparently this time they were still unlucky, as Fender the Scud provoked a feline beast and was chased too closely to escape, so they had to passively escape. The attacks of the numbered ones could not keep up with the movements of the leopard-like beast, and they almost accidentally injured their own people, if it weren't for Fanta's agility, and the beast also had a teasing mind, it is estimated that the battle would have been over long ago.
Compared with the Kane team, where there is Fanta, there is joy, Hu Bin and his party are obviously more low-key.
Although the number of numberers is small, the number of subordinates brought by Hu Bin and the followers of others combined is quite impressive. Someone found a vacant lot very close to the water source, and Hu Bin simply rested here. Many of the people who had been injured in the previous ambush of the gorillas were much luckier than those who had already died, but they couldn't just leave it alone. Fortunately, for the numbered and their entourage, the recovery of injuries was relatively fast, and with Lorraine's bandaging treatment, the team that recovered all its combat effectiveness was still very strong.
Hu Bin put his hand on the trunk of an old tree, he had not used the racial talents of other elves except for Eagle Eye since he entered the warband world, and this action in the jungle made him feel that although he didn't like this kind of environment very much, he still felt like a fish in water. His perception was much broadened, and Hu Bin could instinctively avoid stumbling roots and branches, quickly stealthily walk through shadows and trees, and even judge danger to a certain extent, which can only be done by the perception of a high mage.
Like Hu Bin's current practice, he is using trees to amplify this feeling, to reconnoiter the situation in the vicinity, and he is not willing to rest for a night in fear. Although the warband world is close to the end of the law era, and it is impossible for trees to generate spiritual intelligence, Hu Bin still perceives a lot of useful information. For example, there was a nest of large monkeys on the branches of trees in the south of their camp, and a pack of hungry wolves lurking in the west under the calm surface, unaware that the bushes by which they hid themselves were the culprits who exposed them.
The people who were digging traps around the camp saw Hu Bin's return and were relieved to learn that there was not much danger nearby.
The night in the forest was so noisy that even Hu Bin had to agree to light a bonfire to expel some of the small animals, the pits around the camps were dug large and deep, specifically to deal with the large tonnage beasts, and the cover would not be triggered by small animals, including those about the size of sheep.
Hu Bin slept soundly, as if he was born to adapt to life in the jungle, and the others were not so comfortable, but they could still eat with their physique. In the early hours of the morning, the companions of the vigil woke up the others, and a large, bruised wild boar broke into the camp and was trapped in the pit.
"Hey, it's time to open meat for breakfast, I've had enough of jerky and bread." Howard shouted happily, and the numbered person next to him nodded straight, Ted's saliva was already flooding.
It took a little effort to deal with the wild boar, and soon the aroma of roast meat and stewed broth filled the camp. Although many big stomachs opened their bellies to eat, most of the meat of the wild boar was left, and everyone found that pork could speed up the recovery of injuries, and they all saved a large piece in their backpacks as a concoction for the next few days. But the trouble still came, and the wolves, who had tracked the seriously injured prey, found the camp, but the fire and the presence of the pit kept them from rushing up. The smell of cooked meat made these hungry beasts refuse to leave.
The numberers had already spotted the wolves, but Hu Bin told them not to panic because he felt that the wolves were not willing to attack them.
Hu Bin, the daring artist, took a piece of leftover pork and roasted it, and then threw it into the forest outside the camp, which then provoked a fierce reaction from the wolves and scattered, and finally some wolves couldn't resist the temptation of the smell of meat, and finally all the wolves joined in the scramble.
Everyone simply cut the rest of the meat and roasted it and threw it out, anyway, they couldn't bring that much with them, and the result of this was their unexpected reward.
"I said Reed, it's okay to do this, how do I feel unreliable." Howard sat tremblingly on the backs of giant wolves, watching Hu Bin scratch the sensitive parts of another wolf, the buffalo-sized wolf was actually like a pet dog, honestly lying on the ground with a lustful expression, he really wanted to ask, are you a wolf, are you really not your close relative husky? .
"It's okay, dumb, that stupid dog is stronger than them, rest assured." Su Jia hugged the inseparable dumb and stayed next to Hu Bin, and a giant wolf was also sitting.
Howard had to swallow his doubts, although he didn't quite believe Su Jia's words, but he felt that the beast under him was very quiet, and there was no sign of disadvantage to him, and sometimes he licked his palm that scratched the back of his ear, but Howard still sensitively noticed something, that is, all the wolves were very affectionate to Hu Bin, but they were very in awe of Su Jia. Looking at the tortured dumb who was held in Su Jia's arms, Howard pondered Su Jia's words.
An accident caused by a barbecue caused everyone in the team to be equipped with a wolf, which greatly increased the speed of Hu Bin's movement in the forest, and everyone roared through the forest and quickly rushed to their destination deep in the jungle.
After eating up the fresh meat in everyone's hands, the wolves left Hu Bin and his group, causing a few unpleasant Svadia numberers to scold the white-eyed wolves for running away after eating, but they were still much faster than the other group. In order to wait for them, Hu Bin decided to hunt some wild beasts around here, after all, the materials on their bodies were still good, and the fangs of that wild boar were excellent dagger materials.
Everyone ambushed the monster den detected by Hu Bin, but who would lure the monster? That's a problem. At this time, Howard missed the Lord of Fanta in his country, although sometimes unreliable, Fanta's talent for attracting monsters is still very commendable.
Hu Bin smiled and took out the remaining pig tail from before, tied it to the bow and arrows, pulled the bowstring and shot it far away, Dumb rushed out happily, and after a while, he quickly returned here with the pig's tail and the dog's tail, and took the initiative to hide behind Su Jia and whimper. A roar ensued, causing the numberers to recover from their stunned eyes. Notice that a large wave of beasts is approaching.
Taking stock of the afternoon's harvest in the evening, Howard couldn't help but sigh that it only took four or five traps for two dozen people to solve most of the beasts that had entered the ambush site, and then Lord Reed and his men solved the fish that had slipped through the net in a few clicks, and a large wave of beasts that could wipe out the team was solved in this way.
Looking at the beast meat that was about to be put into the pot and the beasts in the pit that could only roar and could not escape, Howard made up his mind not to provoke Lord Reed, a black-bellied man. This guy dug the trap very big, and dug it more than ten meters deep, and the beasts that fell down are estimated to break their legs, and once the trap is triggered, the surrounding beasts will also suffer, they are now crowded into the pit like stacks of arhats, and the bottom is estimated to be dying. And the adventurers only need to catch one like fishing, and they can solve everyone's dinner.
