"You have lost someone?" Mai asked in surprise, the hunt had just begun, and there was no one missing, obviously something unusual.

"Three were lost, and while we were resting at the first base, the three of them went to fetch water, and then they never came back. Ballast spoke in a harsh voice, and it was clear that this incident had dealt a big blow to their hunting team. If something happened during the hunt, it would have been fine, but it disappeared inexplicably, and the body could not even be found, so it was unwilling to give up.

"The place where the water was drawn was also on the mountain, not too far from the cave, and there were no dangerous beasts, but until the evening there was no one to see them. Ah Cheng took people to look for it, but he didn't find it, and only found some traces near the place where the water was taken, but it was not enough to find people. After that, we waited for a little more than half a day, and everyone searched everywhere, but we still couldn't find it. However, I came across a lot of this stuff when I was looking for someone. ”

Ballast rubbed his tired face and pointed at the bats on the ground, "They took the initiative to attack the hunting team, and it was still during the day, there were more than a dozen, and our team injured several of them." Ah Cheng asked me to bring someone over to ask you for help, but I didn't expect that these things had already flown here. ”

Shao Xuan listened to his words and noticed that there was something wrong with Caesar next to him, and looked at its wounds, which did not deteriorate. The color of the blood was still healthy, but it looked very sleepy.

"It's bitten, isn't it?" said Ballast, "after being bitten by those things." You'll be weak, but you'll not die. Give it some of this. ”

Ballast handed Shao Xuan something in the shape of a tree root. After following witchcraft for so long, Shao Xuan naturally knew it. This root is refreshing and can also relieve some narcotic poisons. However, it is difficult to find in hunting grounds. Moreover, they were not optimistic about Caesar before the hunt, and they laughed at Mai's behavior of allowing Caesar to accompany the team, and now Ballast was willing to take it out like this.

Seeing that Mai and Lang Ga and others also looked over, he said helplessly: "I still have to count on it to help find someone." ”

That's just as well.

Makes you laugh before, but now you need help to get it back, right? But the thought of what happened made my heart heavy again.

It disappeared inexplicably, and I couldn't even find anyone, which was chilling to hear. They are not afraid to fight fierce beasts, but they always have a kind of apprehension about the unknown.

"What did Ah Cheng say?" asked Mai.

Ah Cheng said that the person who fetches the water may have been bitten by those things, and they may not be able to resist, and they may have been dragged away by those things. It's just that there are not many traces to be found, and it is difficult to find people. Ballast once again looked at Caesar, who was already in good spirits. "Hopefully it works. ”

Shao Xuan examined Caesar's wounds, and after making sure that there was no problem, he turned his attention to the two dead bats.

The saliva of these bats has a strong anesthetic effect, Shao Xuan used a stone knife to pry open their mouths, and found that their incisors were much larger than the other molars, and the canines were even more knife-like, extremely sharp, and the bite on Caesar's body was the credit of these teeth.

Creatures with such teeth are obviously flesh and blood eaters.

Besides. This bat has sharp claws and powerful hind limbs. And a pair of very large eyes.

"How about it? Can we go over now?" the ballast was a little anxious, and the longer the delay began. The harder it was to find someone, he still didn't know what was going on with the hunting party.

Mai looked at Shao Xuan, and when he saw Shao Xuan nodding, indicating that Caesar had recovered, he said, "Okay, let's go." ”

The hunting team first went back to the cave, brought some more stone tools, and was on guard.

Ballast with them, did not go from the mountain, although the mountain is relatively less dangerous, but need to take a long detour, they are in a hurry, must be as far as possible to arrive, so, directly chose the shortest route.

On the way, they encountered several more of those big bats, and they joined forces to slash and kill.

"Everyone be careful, the scratch is fine, the important thing is the bite, I don't have enough medicine in my hands anymore. Ballast reminded.

"There was a lot less prey in the hunting grounds, the herds of bighorn deer and the herds of giant cattle left where they came from, and ran farther, and even the beasts came out less...... These are things that have never been encountered before. ”

When you hear this, you know it's not a good sign.

With fewer prey, they may have been captured by other predators, and herds of bighorn deer and giant cattle migrate at this time, probably to avoid this dangerous place. However, even the fierce beasts have come out less, what is there that even they will be afraid of?

"It's not a good thing. Lang Ga whispered, they had a bad premonition when they saw those big bats, and now they were even more certain.

As he was walking, Shao Xuan suddenly heard some unusually sharp chirps, which came like sound waves. However, looking at Lang Ga and the others next to him, there was no reaction, and they didn't seem to hear it.

The fur on Caesar's back stood on end again, and his eyes were wary of the sky.

Ballast, who was walking in front, and several intermediate totem warriors such as Mai, suddenly stopped.

Mai gestured to the others, signaling everyone to be quiet and vigilant, while he listened carefully.

"Are they?" said Mai in a low voice.

"Hmm. Ballast nodded, "However, their target now is not us, they should have found other prey." ”

"Did you hear anything, Mai, why didn't I hear anything?" asked Langga.

"You are not enough. Mai said and listened carefully, then pointed in one direction and said, "Go up the tree!" ”

Since Caesar couldn't climb trees, Shao Xuan let him hide in the grass.

Flexibly climbing up a big tree next to him, until he was tall enough to see somewhere not far away, Shao Xuan found a thick forked branch with dense leaves to hide.

Looking up, on a branch diagonally above, stood a beaver. At this moment, the beaver was tense, and its fur exploded. The mouth was wide open and the eyes were filled with horror. Such precautions and fears are not aimed at Shao Xuan. It's the creatures in the sky that are approaching. However, it was just on the alert. Shao Xuan jumped up suddenly, startling it and almost falling off the branch.

The beaver's round eyes stared at Shao Xuan for a while, and after making sure that Shao Xuan was not a threat for the time being, he bared his teeth at Shao Xuan, and the uneaten arthropod that he was dragging in his claws threw towards Shao Xuan, as if Shao Xuan was angry and scared it.

Shao Xuan's head to the side. Avoid the half of the insect that is thrown at you.

The insect smashed directly into the trunk of the tree, but the green liquid that spilled flew a few drops onto Shao Xuan's face.

Shao Xuan wiped the insect liquid off his face expressionlessly, and scolded in his heart: This little thing is really bad-tempered.

However, Shao Xuan will not be angry with it for this matter.

Suddenly, the beaver twisted its head and looked in one direction.

Over there, that's where Mai was pointing.

Shao Xuan, like everyone else, hid in the branches of the trees, shielded by the leaves. Look through the gap between the leaves.

It was quiet, but there was an air of fear.

A meadow not far ahead. Four toothed deer stood there, facing in four directions, with erect ears and wary eyes.

Whew-

A black shadow flashed in the sky and landed on the grass.

There was more than one bat, there were eleven bats that landed, and they surrounded four roe deer in the middle.

For most bats, their movements are very tough when they are on the ground. Even if it can move, it is very slow. But. After the bats hit the ground, their wings folded. What is left is a pair of powerful long legs and forearms.

Any of these eleven bats was bigger than the one Mai had hunted.

After the eleven bats landed near the roe deer, they quickly ran and rushed towards the roe deer.

The roe deer wanted to jump out of the encirclement, but just as he could jump, he ran into a large bat that also jumped.

A large bat was knocked out a few meters away, rolled on the grassy hill, got up again, and continued to attack the tooth roe deer. The sharp teeth are like razors, biting off a piece of the skin of the deer.

Bloodshed began to spread.

The bitten tooth deer were getting slower and slower, they had not been able to escape at first, and now, it was even more impossible.

All four of them have been bitten on their bodies, and one of them has begun to weaken.

The bats did not take advantage of this opportunity to continue biting, but waited patiently.

When the last roe deer finally fell to the ground, they did not immediately start enjoying the meal, but two or three joined forces to grab the incapacitated roe deer, spread its wings, and fly away.

After the bats left, the hunting party gathered under the tree, and everyone had a bad look on their faces.

"They don't seem to want to eat their prey right away. Mai said.

His face was gloomy, "So Ah Cheng said that let Kuài find the missing person, at least after seeing those things, as long as they are not eaten immediately, the missing person may still be alive." ”

"It's like they're stockpiling food, but winter is over. One of the older fighters in the team said, "So, who are they going to take this food for?"

There was silence in the ranks.

"Let's find the missing person first. He sighed.

Ballast took Mai and his party to the first stronghold of their hunting team, and when they met Cheng, the leader of the hunting team, Ah Cheng was smearing people.

"What's going on? Attacked again?" he hurriedly walked a few steps to see how the wounded were doing.

"It's okay, it's not overly heavy. Ah Cheng got up and walked towards Mai, and finally showed a smile on his sad face, "You guys are finally here." ”

Ah Cheng's gaze swept around, and fell on Caesar who was standing beside Shao Xuan, "I didn't think about it, I really have to rely on it this time." ”

While the two team leaders were exchanging information, Shao Xuan observed the situation inside the cave.

The warriors of the hunting team, who were still in high spirits when they set off, are now wilting one by one, probably because of the inexplicable disappearance of their companions and the possible big crisis.

Everyone has injuries on their bodies, but fortunately, most of them are scratches, and there are relatively few bites.

"The most fortunate thing is that I didn't bring those boys with me this time. Otherwise......" Ah Cheng didn't say any more.

If there are newly awakened young warriors in the team this year, they will definitely be the ones who will be attacked the most, just like Shao Xuan last year, the newly awakened young warriors don't have much hunting experience, and if one is not good, they will die.

"Ah Xuan, it's up to you and Caesar next. Cheng said.
