Chapter IV
After appeasing his sister, Li Zhan convened a meeting of his subordinates to formulate a plan to enter the forest. In the end, it was decided that Wei Zheng was thoughtful and responsible for observing the surrounding situation on the way and during the hunt; Lu Zhidao was good at hiding and took two people to hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity; Cui Yu, fast as a cheetah, walked at the front of the team and was responsible for finding food; Zhong Kui, fierce and brave, took two people to take charge of the break and walked at the back of the team. Xie Bi'an is thin and weak, and Fan Wusu is short in stature, and he is responsible for catching prey at the first time. The rest of the people, waiting for Li Zhan's orders, gathered together, did not shout loudly, and did not act privately.
After making a plan, everyone dispersed and went back to their tents to rest.
The next day, before dawn, Li Zhan and the others had already prepared weapons, shields, and witch medicines, and set off.
Entering the forest, walking on the forest road, there are miserable bird calls all around, which seems to express the panic and irritability in the hearts of everyone, and I don't know when, a wild beast will rush out of the grass.
"Coo...... the rabbit's cry came from afar.
"Cui Yu, find the rabbit..."Before Li Zhan's words fell, Cui Yu had disappeared from the place.
"Woooo The crowd quietly arrived.
"Xie Bi'an, Fan Wujiao, prepare!" Cui Yu shouted in a low voice.
I saw that the three of them each moved to a direction, forming a round-up formation, and after eye contact, they pounced together and grabbed the hare. Zhong Kui took the rabbit, twisted his hands, and the rabbit fainted. After Fan Wusu took it, he put the rabbit in the basket.
Li Zhan looked at the surrounding environment and whispered, "Quickly dig a big pit here, spread weeds, and when you return the same way, see if you have luck catching prey." Wei Zheng and Lu Zhidao should be vigilant. Li Zhan and the others dug the big pit in the shortest time and continued to walk deeper into the forest.
The crowd caught a lot of prey along the way, and although there were wild beasts attacking, they were all small beasts with weak attack power, and all of them were subdued by everyone. Several baskets were almost full.
"There's an orchard in front of you. Cui Yu, who went to explore the way, returned to the team and said.
"Lead the way. Li Zhan replied. Everyone then followed Cui Yu to the fruit forest.
After arriving at the fruit forest, Li Zhan signaled Wei Zheng to be vigilant, Lu Zhidao continued to hide in the shadows, and the rest of the people quickly climbed the fruit trees to pick.
"Dumbfounded... "There was a sound in the grass.
Wei Zheng immediately blew his whistle to remind everyone. When everyone heard the whistle, they stopped their movements and looked around.
"Roarβ" Several fanged beasts burst out of the grass. Unlike the beasts that had been seen before, these beasts had a head on the front and back, and their bodies were black, and their body was very similar to that of a wild boar, but they were larger and had longer fangs, like evolved wild boars, and they looked very vicious.
"Attention, in teams of three, attack in a defensive position. This beast is not quite the same as the previous one, everyone be careful. Li Zhan shouted.
"Yes. The crowd replied.
"Yikes... Ahh
Three men fended off a wild beast, one rode on it, and the other two struck one each.
Li Zhan wanted to end the battle quickly, and if it took too long, such a movement would inevitably attract more beasts. But this beast was more ferocious than it had encountered before, and it was difficult to defeat for a while.
"Roar..."Sure enough, several more beasts came.
"Ahh Save it. But the beast did not fall, and continued to attack them with a body with only one head left. Seeing this, Lu Zhidao shouted at Li Zhan, "Li Zhan, quickly think of a way, this beast's vitality is very tenacious, it is too tricky, we can't resist it at all." β
"Quick!Wei Zheng, throw some prey out!" Li Zhan shouted at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng threw some prey around and at the herd, and the beasts swarmed up.
Seeing this, Li Zhan shouted. "Take the fruit and get out!"
The people took food and fruit, and quickly left the fruit grove and ran in the direction of the clan land.
"Don't panic, don't shout, move quickly. Cui Yu continued to explore the way, Lu Zhidao and the others continued to hide in the dark, Zhong Kui and the others broke off, clean up our traces, and the rest of the people followed me closely, don't mess up the formation. Li Zhan shouted to everyone in a low voice.
"Yes. The crowd replied.
Everything went smoothly according to Li Zhan's idea, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, they returned to the place where the trap was set before, and Zhong Kui and the others also caught up with the team.
"Roar..."The sound of a wild beast came from the pit, and everyone approached to see that it was a huge bison.
"Oh no, if it screams like this, it will surely attract other beasts. Come on. Cui Yu said anxiously.
"Roar... Roar..."As soon as Cui Yu finished speaking, the beast from before galloped from a distance.
"Run!" Cui Yu shouted. The crowd fled in a hurry, but it was too late. Soon the crowd was surrounded by wild beasts.
"Do you want to keep throwing prey?" Wei Zheng asked.
"Throw!" Li Zhan shouted. Wei Zheng threw some prey out of the basket again. However, the beasts seemed to have learned the lesson of the last time, and only some of them picked up their prey, while the rest of the beasts were still staring at them.
"What should I do, throw it all away, even if I escape, there is no food, how can we explain to the clansmen. Big deal, a small number of people bring food out. Even if it's just one person. Zhong Kui asked.
"No, the sacrifice is too great, and the possibility of taking the food out is very small. Wei Zheng replied.
"Then what do you say, this is not good, that is not good, just stand and wait to be eaten?" Zhong Kui reprimanded angrily.
"Li Zhan, do you have any way?" Cui Yu asked as he looked at Li Zhan, who had been silent.
"The road is blocked, and we can't escape until we throw away all our prey, attract some of the beasts, and take the opportunity to climb up the trees. Li Zhan replied.
"We have to fight hard, the best outcome is that we all escape, and the worst outcome is that we stay here forever and the food cannot be taken away. Li Zhan continued.
"Li Zhan has failed you. Leave it to death and come back to life, rush, warriors. Li Zhan shouted.
"Ahh Yikes..." Everyone rushed forward with Li Zhan. The beasts bit and trampled on everyone, and the battle was very fierce, and everyone was seriously injured, although they all had only one breath left, they still continued to fight. Soon, some people couldn't hold on anymore and were torn apart by the herd and swallowed into their stomachs. Just when Li Zhan felt that he was about to lose his hold, suddenly a red light flashed in front of his eyes, and the beast in front of him was slapped down on the tree by the red light.
"Saved. Li Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. He fell to one knee and looked towards the source of the red light.
