Five steel spears flew out from the northeast corner and pierced the bodies of the five bugs with precision. Immediately after, in the same direction, the same number of steel spears swept up again, once again nailing the same number of insects firmly to the ground.

"It's the third squad, it's the third squad that escaped. They came back to save us! Behind Tianxiang, a hunter who had been looking a little nervous shouted happily. Soon, an emotion of excitement and excitement permeated the entire squad. Tianxiang also lost no time in leading all the team members around the area where the lice swarm was located, and joined the third team from the side. He took the extra throwing spears in their hands, and threw them vigorously towards the swarm of insects that had been attracted by Ye Zhanfeng's team.

There are not many insects anymore, and although the degree of assembly can barely be regarded as a "swarm", compared to before, it has long lost that huge and vast momentum. To put it mildly, the current colony of black lice is nothing more than a nest of pitiful insects that have suffered heavy casualties under the ferocious attacks of the hunters. Although the remaining swarms of black lice are still frantically launching a final attack on their enemies. But such attacks are clearly no longer feared.

Because, the first few insects had been quite surprised to see that the humans who had fled in a panic before were now uncharacteristically standing up from their hiding places, carrying the last spear in their hands, shouting, and rushing towards them.

Several rounds of spear attacks have already reduced the remaining bugs by half. Although the remaining black lice still have a firm advantage in numbers, even if they are distributed to individuals, they are only two or three per person. Perhaps when a person is faced with five black lice at the same time, it can be a bit of a scramble, and it will have to be done at a terrible cost before they can all be eliminated. Even when faced with ten or more black lice, the only option is to run away. But no matter what, even the weakest and most physically weak hunter can easily kill two black lice when they are alone.

After all, no matter how disgusting and terrifying this bug may seem, it is nothing more than a grass-feeding insect. Their food sources already determine their character, and they are destined to be less violent and ferocious than carnivores.

The hand-to-hand combat that swarmed up was simple, and Tianxiang felt that he was simply poking a spear gun into the ground. Then he strung the poked worms one after another on the top of the steel spear. It was as if I was reaping my fair share on the hunting grounds.

One hundred and thirty-two black lice, none of them were pulled down, and all of them became the contents of this hunting party.

"Tell me, at the beginning, who didn't obey the order and threw that shot without permission?" When all the prey is gathered together and the hunters are all gathered around. Tianxiang suddenly frowned, and asked sideways towards Xia Dong, whose face was full of joy and excitement.

The question was so loud that it could be heard very clearly not only by summer and winter, but also by all hunters.

“。。。。。。 Be...... It's me! After hesitating for a long time, the squad leader, who had a panicked look in his eyes, finally opened his mouth to admit his behavior.

"Bang-", a fist full of power, slammed into Xia Dong's somewhat emaciated face quite accurately. The muscles that had been violently struck swelled, and a huge lump bulged up on the injured man's cheek.

"Why don't you listen to my orders? Did I not say it clearly enough beforehand? Or do you not grasp what I mean? Tianxiang's words were clearly filled with irrepressible anger.

“。。。。。。 I...... I...... I just saw, saw that you didn't do anything for a long time。。。。。。 So... So that's it。。。。。。 Xia Dong's voice was obviously a little timid. However, the resistance of any man after being attacked inexplicably is also manifested in him. I saw that after gently rubbing the wounds on his face, he suddenly roared in a low voice.

"I 。。。。。。 It's wrong for me to do that, but aren't we just killing all the bugs? Although the process is a bit dangerous, it doesn't kill them anyway. What's more, if I hadn't brought someone back in time, I'm afraid you would have been bitten to death by those bugs a long time ago! ”

"You bastard!" Several hunters around Tianxiang could no longer stand this trickery, and rushed forward, knocking Xia Dong to the ground. They are all people who accompany Tianxiang's team, and naturally they know better than anyone what happened before and after. What's more, facing the new patriarch with such a rude attitude is simply an offensive act.

"Wait a minute!" Tianxiang shouted to stop everyone's behavior. With a cold expression, he pulled Xia Dong up from the ground, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "I know you are not convinced. Yes, we were rescued because of your help. But have you thought about it? If it weren't for the fact that you were making a claim, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't listen to orders, would that dangerous situation happen? Because of your impulse, you almost buried all of us here. As for speaking of rescue, huh! If it weren't for our attack on the insects, I'm afraid that you would have been bitten by the insects right now, and you would not be able to find a complete place. ”

All the people didn't speak, just stood there silently looking at Xia Dong, who was half-lying on the ground with red and swollen cheeks. They all understood that the patriarch was right. If it weren't for his impromptu response, let alone the prey, I'm afraid everyone would have been bitten alive by the black lice. Therefore, no matter how severely he punishes Xia Dong, no one will object to this. What's more, to defy the majesty of the patriarch in public is a terrible mistake in itself.

"Pack up your things and take some of your prey back first. Both the old man and the woman should be in a hurry. To everyone's surprise, Tianxiang didn't mean to punish Xia Dong. After a slight glance at him, he turned and picked up a steel spear with four black lice strung from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and strode in the direction of the camp.

Since the patriarch is close, others can only do it.

More than a hundred bugs, that's a huge fortune. The black lice are quite heavy, and the weight of one has reached about ten kilograms. From the perspective of the existing people, it is obviously impossible to carry all the insect corpses back at once. It's just that the unexpected harvest made everyone feel joy and excitement. And Tianxiang, who is the patriarch, shows strength that surprises everyone. At that moment, there were a few guys who thought they were full of strength, and they skewered the same four bugs from the ground in the same way. Then he threw it behind him and folded it heavily on his shoulder.

In this way, nearly half of the more than 100 heavy black lice were carried away by these strong guys.

The way home was obviously easier than when I came. Although hundreds of pounds of things were carried on his body, no one said anything because of this. The joy of abundant prey has completely filled people's chests, and the imagination of the surprise and surprise of waiting for their loved ones at home to greet them makes these young hunters feel a pang of excitement. For a moment, there seemed to be infinite strength in the body. Even Xia Dong, who was punched hard because of his mistakes, was completely infected by this warm atmosphere. Enthusiastically, he picked up a steel spear full of insects from the ground and happily joined the ranks of the carrying team.

Tianxiang walked very fast, of course, because of the operation of the Tai Chi method in the body. more, it's because he wants to see his sister's cute smiling face earlier. But I don't know what the reason is, the closer he gets to the camp, the more inexplicable unease Tianxiang feels in his heart.

Reality soon confirmed Tianxiang's inner throbbing. Just as the hunting party returned to the camp, everyone was stunned by the terrible scene in front of them.

The camp, which was originally a bonfire, was a mess, and the necessities of life, which had been placed in an orderly manner and had been sorted and placed at any time, had now been turned into a mess. Broken pieces of cloth and utensils littered everywhere. However, it was nothing compared to the shocking bright red liquid that flowed all over the ground.

Blood, that's human blood. It is blood that flows from the bodies of those left behind in the camp. Because, right next to the blood, was a mutilated corpse.

"Who? Who did it? A tall and stout man, bent down and hugged a female corpse whose hands and feet were no longer there, and roared with tears streaming down his face. Tianxiang remembered that the old female corpse should be his mother.

No one answered. Not only him, except for Tianxiang and Ye Zhanfeng. All the young hunters rushed into the pile of corpses and rummaged wildly. They are looking for, looking for their relatives. A great grief suddenly enveloped the camp where the entire ethnic group lived.

Tianxiang didn't move, but that didn't mean he didn't have anger in his heart. Although from the beginning, he keenly felt that Tianrou, Liu Rui, and some people he knew well were not lying in the pile of corpses. But no matter what, it's a race of its own. No ruler can see his subjects under his jurisdiction suffer an inexplicable slaughter without grief, anger, and the desire for revenge.

"Wait! There seem to be survivors! Luckily, Tianxiang's thoughts clearly felt the slight movement emanating from a rather secluded corner of the camp. Judging from the specific energy fluctuations, it should be a living person.

It was a mezzanine in two walls close to each other. The small gap has been completely filled by panicked and frightened old people. Although these people were ragged and unarmed, they were still alive. It was only when they saw that the hidden cover on their heads was lifted, revealing familiar faces, that they erupted in mournful cries as if they had been relied upon.

Tianrou is fine, she is grabbing the corner of Liu Rui's old man's clothes with a frightened face. It wasn't until he saw his brother appear that he threw himself into Tianxiang's arms and cried "wow-".

Thirteen people. This is the number that Tianxiang counted later, and it is also the number of all the survivors hiding in the wall, including Tianrou. This means that more than half of the campers, who had more than 100 people after the hunting party left, have been turned into corpses or disappeared.

"Who did it?" Without waiting for people's emotions to completely calm down, Tianxiang asked questions to the surviving old man Liu Rui in a terrifyingly calm tone.

"Gesa, it's Gesa's ethnic group." The old man angrily stroked a bruised part of his left shoulder, and said hatefully, "A hunting tribe that lives in our neighborhood. Not long after you left, their men attacked our camp. At that time, we simply didn't have time to fight back. I just had to take these people to hide in this hidden place. As for the rest, they were completely plundered or killed by them. ”

"Why? Do you have enmity against them? Tianxiang's tone was still so indifferent.

"Hatred? Ha ha! With whom would we, a race almost entirely old, weak, sick and disabled, have enmity with? If there is hatred, at most it is those of us who are about to die of old age, and we are not willing to honestly make food in other people's mouths. The old man said miserably: "Don't you see those corpses with only torsos and no limbs?" That's their masterpiece. The attackers killed them and feasted them with their meat. As for those who were taken captive, it is believed that they would also be guarded as their flesh men, and used as the best food when prey was scarce. ”

"Where's the gun? And what about the gun I gave you? Why don't you use it? ”

"Gun 。。。。。。" Speaking of this, a layer of shame suddenly appeared on Liu Rui's face: "I, I put it in a dry hole like a baby。。。。。。 After all, it was a powerful weapon left behind by the ancients。。。。。。 Something precious。。。。。。 I thought, I think。。。。。。 Save it for later and use it slowly。。。。。。 ”

"You're really old!" Tianxiang's words were full of reproach and emotion. Xuan Ji said in the same cold and irresistible tone: "Go, bring the gun and hand it to me!" ”

The cry continued in the camp, and the deep sadness that permeated it was even more inexplicable in everyone's hearts. There are fewer people, and I am afraid that the days to come will be even more difficult.

"Don't cry!" With a simple and crisp sentence, Tianxiang jumped in front of all the people who were rummaging through the corpses to find the remains of their loved ones, and shouted, "It is useless to cry bitterly at the dead. If you are really sad, really sad, then you should go to the person who caused all this pain and revenge. Cut their throats with his own hands to get justice for those who have died. ”

"Patriarch! You say! What to do? A female hunter with a headless corpse in her arms strode up to Tianxiang with tears stained, picked up a steel spear from the ground that shook off her prey, and waved it vigorously, responding loudly to Tianxiang's words. Driven by her, all the members of the hunting team also looked angry and stood in front of the new patriarch. Behind them are all the remaining survivors. It's just that, compared to just now, although there is still sadness on their faces, there are still tears in the corners of their eyes. However, a new emotion, along with the patriarch's words, had completely penetrated their whole bodies and filled their brains.

Revenge! I want revenge!

"You don't have to go too many people. As in the previous arrangement, the women, children, and the elderly were all left behind. Others, come with me. ”

Tianxiang's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly. This young patriarch has already proved that he is up to the task with his actual actions in the previous hunting. No one dared to question his words anymore. No one dares to argue with it. Soon, after sorting out the order and bringing all the weapons, all those who participated in the hunt, marched towards their goal of revenge. Soon disappeared from the sight of the old people left behind in the camp.

The ethnic group of Gesa is not far away, only a few kilometers away from the existing camp. However, they are strong. There were as many as 200 able-bodied male hunters alone. If we add the women and the elderly who are responsible for the daily management of daily life, the number has exceeded 300. However, judging from this point alone, this guy named Geza should actually be more or less a person who sympathizes with the weak. After all, in the dark world, few clan managers would be willing to provide protection for a group of elderly people and children. Not to mention feeding it with precious food.

But in any case, these are not reasons to satisfy one's own appetite with other people's bodies. Because their relatives are starving, they have to kill other people's parents and use their flesh to feed their parents. This kind of behavior is no different from those insects that feed on people.
