93. Puzzle
There are a lot of beasts in the Valley of Thorns, this is a very ancient primeval forest, few intelligent creatures are involved in destruction, for a long time, trolls are the only masters here, and they get along well with natural creatures, they just play the role of a high-level predator, carve out their own territory, hunt their own prey, and occasionally fight because of the territory, never destroy the ecological harmony.
This may have something to do with the loa gods that the trolls worship, after all, most loa gods are animal gods.
If trolls develop a Druid Sect, they may be more favored by the spirits of nature than the Night Elves, but unfortunately they believe in Voodoo.
A panther was running in the night, its expression was very unnatural, it sniffed east and west, and it could be seen that its mood was very nervous and irritable, as if something was stimulating it.
At this moment, its gaze suddenly focused on one place, where an equally black head emerged from the grass and groaned menacingly at it.
It was a panther that was a lap smaller than it.
"Roar~~~!" The terrifying roar alarmed all the small animals in the forest, and for a time they scattered and fled, and there were other predators who heard such a roar and played a high-pitched game with it, but it ignored them, it looked intently at the provocateur in front of it, this kind of person who had invaded its territory and defied its authority, and pounced on it without saying a word.
However, seeing its movements, the black panther who provoked it suddenly showed a treacherous and successful look, and then, I saw a net suddenly stretched out from the ground, and the black panther was caught in the net in one fell swoop.
"Great, this is the third one of the day!" Then, a group of humans ran out from behind the panther, and they took the life of the panther with simple wooden spears and sticks.
"Alright, pack up the nets and see if there are any gaps, and we'll go somewhere else to provoke the beasts. At this time, the panther actually spoke, and the humans were not surprised that it suddenly spoke, but honestly acted according to its instructions.
"This panther is at least more than a hundred pounds, and if we can catch seven or eight, we can at least get a pound of meat each. While heading to the other beast territory, a captain of the Night's Watch said to the panther-like Zhang Li.
"We also dug up some wild vegetables and ate them with meat, and although we couldn't eat enough, just a little bit of food would make a difference for us. "A pound of meat is not much bigger than a fist, and it is not enough for these people who are heavily tired and have not eaten for nearly two days, but as this person said, eating something will change the state of mind, and for survivors, the state of mind is sometimes more important than the actual calories.
"Don't worry, the night has just begun, and maybe everyone will be able to eat enough tonight......"
Zhang Li had already explored this jungle when he was "catching the baby" before, there were a lot of beasts in it, and when he walked around the sky, he found various beasts such as black panthers, tigers, velociraptors, and gorillas, and their camp was closest to the domain of tigers and panthers.
Tiger he tried to catch as a baby during the day, but he didn't know how to catch the baby, he just felt that the tiger was windy, and he could still be a mount if he really caught it, so he tried indiscriminately, he tried to become a tiger and communicate with them, and then if you don't agree, I will beat you, but unfortunately they are beaten to death and do not give in.
Later, when the night watchman was weaving that net, he turned into a human form and beat a few tigers, which attracted an oversized tiger king, he vaguely remembered that there were two tiger kings in the Valley of Thorns, one was an elite white tiger Bangarashi, and one was an ordinary quest monster, named Sindal, unlike the ultimate boss of Bangarashi's hunting mission, Sindar was a garbage in the game, but it turned out that Sindar was indeed a garbage in the game, but here it was not in vain that it was the title of the tiger king, and the tiger that Zhang Li became was like a little tiger cub in front of itγ
Zhang Li beat up maybe his subordinates, Sindar was angry when he saw Zhang Li, fortunately Zhang Li would turn into a shadow and fled there before it went berserk, so he didn't dare to provoke the tiger area, so he could only go to the leopard area to provoke the black panther.
At this time, of course, Zhang Li was using the "metamorphosis" ability to transform, human urine does not contain enough pheromones, which can't attract anything, only if he becomes a real beast can attract the owner there.
They caught almost a dozen of them throughout the night, which was a difficult challenge for Zhang Li's kidneys, but he managed to feed those people for seven or eight minutes, but unfortunately he didn't have a meal.
..................
"Li, we have something to discuss with you. β
As soon as he woke up in the afternoon, due to the intense exercise at night, Zhang Li returned to the camp and fell asleep after eating something casually, and he didn't change back into human form, and after being woken up by hunger, those captains found him.
"What are you discussing?" Zhang Li found that the captain who came to inform him did not look very good,
"Between us...... Well...... There was some disagreement, so I wanted to hear your advice. β
"Oh?" Zhang Li showed a very interested expression, but his leopard face was not visible to others.
"Then lead the way. β
......
"We can't stay here!We have nothing, and there's nothing but beasts and man-eating trolls here!We've just escaped from the ogre's mouth, are we going to send ourselves to the trolls?!"
"But it's too dangerous to climb the mountain, we have no food, no water, and who knows we're going to be in the mountains for a few days? β
"What are they going to do to support us?!The Night's Watch is basically all we have left, do you want them to use those garrisons?"
"But ......"
Before they got closer, Zhang Li already had a rough idea of what they were arguing about.
There must be a leader for social animals, regardless of the number of people in the group, otherwise it will definitely be chaotic.
The captains of the Night's Watch were of the same rank, and none of them could hold everyone down, so they disagreed about the future of the party.
Decisions on major issues such as this can be divided into two camps, radicals and conservatives, and the same is probably true here.
The one who has been saying that people should go to climb the mountain immediately is a radical, you must know that the current Valley of Thorns is not the Valley of Thorns in four years, there is basically no way to reach the Twilight Forest from here, and the human special forces codenamed "Kurson Special Operations Force" have not yet gone to the Valley of Thorns to perform any confidential missions (I don't know what they are going to do, only that most of them are crazy), so this also means that the mountain road in the game has not been opened up.
If there is no way, you can only climb the mountain, maybe the goblins know a few smuggling trails, but they definitely don't know, so it is definitely dangerous to climb that mountain range rashly, Zhang Li remembered in a trance that there were several bridges on that road, and now there are no bridges, and it is definitely dangerous for them to climb over the cliff.
However, it is also unsafe to stay.
Zhang Li also just learned that when he was sleeping, someone picked up something in the forest that was obviously the product of a troll, a scrap of some kind of totem, humans and trolls have been fighting for territory for thousands of years, and they have absolutely no possibility of admitting mistakes for such an obvious thing, so this means that they may be attacked by trolls at any time if they stay here.
Then the quarrel began, some people felt that it was more dangerous to climb the mountain, and some people felt that it was more dangerous to stay here, and since they were of the same level, no one could convince anyone.
