Chapter 59: The Forest
Time is like an arrow
Time flies
Left the warmth of spring
It's summer heat
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since the last harvest, and Su Ming and his exploration team have never found anything of value again.
The daily tedious and tedious investigation tasks sharpen everyone in the team. Even Heida, who originally came with him and was very lively and excited, now has no vitality at the beginning, and now he is slowly following the team.
During this long journey, their only pleasure was hunting. Hunting those prey that you see along the way, there are wild beasts, there are also wild beasts, especially those who have never seen before, and they are even more active.
At first, everyone was very excited to harvest the furs, but now, except for the discovery of new beasts or wild beasts, and the harvesting of some complete furs, some of the other people in the team have stopped harvesting.
After repeated hunting, they lost the initial excitement, even those newly discovered beasts or wild beasts, because there were enough furs now, and they were still not the same, but the two-horned horses could no longer put it on their backs.
A large pile of fine furs, often have to choose from which the quality is slightly worse, reluctant to discard, at the beginning everyone is still very heartbroken, reluctant to give up. But as the number of discarded times increased, everyone slowly got used to it and no longer felt heartache.
"Look, there's a forest up ahead!"
The long legs who climbed on the high mound to observe the direction shouted directly excitedly. They had been walking on the plains for too long, and the same scenery had long exhausted the people who had been hurrying.
Now there is actually a forest, of course, everyone is excited, after all, in addition to long legs, Su Ming and the others live in the forest for a longer time, and they still have to feel more intimate with the forest.
For a while, the originally sluggish team erupted into a strong passion for hurrying, and after being tortured for so long, it was finally possible to change to a new map.
The sunset is like a song
The wind is soft at dusk
There were already a few impatient stars in the sky, and before the sky was completely dark, Su Ming and the others finally rushed to the outskirts of the forest and found a mountain col to set up camp.
Although the encounter with the forest lifted everyone's already sluggish spirits, new problems also appeared, and the roads in the forest were difficult to navigate, and the mountains were full of high and low mountains, instead of being flat like the plains.
"Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Su Ming said to the tribesmen sitting around the campfire, "Don't worry about anything, you can talk freely." β
"The road ahead was rough and difficult, and I thought I would have to split into two groups, one to explore the forest, and the other to stay in the camp. Trim rotations are performed at regular intervals. Hei Er then offered his opinion.
"I agree, the plan to explore will continue, but before we go into the forest to explore, we need to strengthen this camp and build fortifications. White Fang made some additions.
"I suggest that at least one wolf smoke be raised every day in the camp to point people in the forest in the direction and prevent the team from getting lost. Shan Xiong also suggested on the side.
"It seems that the detachment has reached a consensus, so let's start grouping. β
"White Fang and I have to draw a map, we can't be in a group ......"
......
The next day, Su Ming and all of them began to carry stones, cut down trees, build animal pens, build improvised houses, and fortify the defenses of the camp. They were going to spend the whole summer and part of the autumn here.
"Roarβ"
A loud and majestic roar from the sky interrupted Su Ming's busy work. I saw that there was a black shadow in the sky in the distance, which was rapidly getting bigger, and after a while, Su Ming and the others could clearly see their whole picture, and they also recognized the behemoths flying in the sky, which were huge flying lizards.
"Flying lizards of this size, they're at least a third bigger than the original one. Oh my God, how do they grow, I used to think all the flying lizards were about the same size as the one we killed. White Fang looked at the flying lizard that flew over his head and sighed a little distractedly.
The long legs of the flying lizard, who had never seen it before, had already been shocked by the appearance of the flying lizard, but when they heard White Fang say that they had hunted one, they fell into a stupor.
It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a huge flying beast, let alone hunted it.
As they flew by, the hard scale armor that Long Legs could clearly see reflecting the golden sun's rays was probably not something he could break through now, not to mention that it still had that huge size, and it was even more difficult to kill.
If Long Legs hunts it, it is not known how many rounds he will be able to hold out in the hands of the flying lizard. Although he had already rested on the Intermediate Body Forging Technique, and now his strength had increased greatly, he still didn't have the slightest confidence.
"Things are in trouble. Looking at the swarms of huge flying lizards that had already flown away, Su Ming frowned and said involuntarily.
These flying lizards are significantly larger than regular flying lizards, judging by the fact that the flying lizard they hunted last time was already an adult. The emergence of this situation shows that the influence of aura on these wild beasts has begun to bear fruit.
And what made him even more headache was that the flying lizards that used to live alone were now gathered in groups.
It can be inferred from this that they are so powerful, and now they have formed their own groups, either as enemies with great threats, or they have already shown their intelligence.
But no matter which one it is, it is not good news for Su Ming.
night
Still by the campfire
"You have seen the situation today, and time is running out. So I'm going to take one or two powerful people into the forest to explore. Su Ming said with a rare expression, "And the concentration of aura in the forest is so high, there must be a lot of magical plants inside." β
"Wouldn't that be too dangerous? White Fang said worriedly.
"Yes, no one knows now, how many such wild beasts are still gathered in the forest now, the situation is unknown, it is too dangerous. Hei Er also objected on the spot.
"However, if the powerful people can't get out of the way, then those who enter together with the relatively weak people still need the distraction of the powerful people to protect them when they encounter danger, so that everyone's situation is not even more dangerous. Shan Xiong listened to their words and said subconsciously.
"What are you talking about!" White Fang and Black Ear stared at Shan Bear tightly at the same time, and a spark of anger flashed in their eyes.
"Well, I didn't say anything just now. Seeing this situation, Shan Xiong directly refused to admit that he had just said the living words.
"Well, don't say anything, it's settled. Recharge your batteries and explore the forest tomorrow. After Su Ming finished speaking, he got up and returned to his tent and began to close his eyes and rest.
