Chapter 381: So Accurate?
In the dense forest, tall trees can be seen everywhere, and the part near the canopy of the tree has three people hugging the trunk, but the trunk close to the ground cannot be hugged by ten people.
The roots of the above-ground part of the tree bent and staggered, extending around, and rose and fell on the ground, like the great claws of an ancient beast clinging to the ground. Passing through these places is like climbing a hill, but this is not a problem for people who often hunt in the dense forest.
One by one, figures shuttled through the dense forest, and after going deep into the dense forest, everyone scattered in one place, and each team went in all directions. This time it was not a hunt, and the team was relatively scattered.
Shao Xuan and some young warriors, there are more than 20 people in the team, Tao Zheng and Xiao are there, the leader of this team is Wu Chop, originally according to the status, the position of the leader should be held by Shao Xuan, but because Shao Xuan is only joining this team for the first time, he is not familiar with others, and he has not taken over the position of leader.
Everyone in the team cooperated very well, except for the fact that the others were a little restrained because of Shao Xuan at the beginning, but later they got used to it much better, and restored the atmosphere of hunting in the past.
There are no words, just one action, one look, you can know each other's meaning, and cooperate tacitly.
Tao Zheng was told by the leader, the leader, his father, and several uncles before he set off, asking him to take care of Shao Xuan more, although Shao Xuan has the strength and is still an elder, but after all, he is there, and he may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the hunting team quickly. Therefore, after getting closer and closer to the previous hunting location, Tao Zheng thought about whether to stop and explain to Shao Xuan first.
But soon Tao Zheng found that Shao Xuan not only didn't need their prompts, but also adapted very well. Just like when he encountered a strange situation just now, Tao Zheng made a gesture, and the people behind him dodged, and Shao Xuan's movements were not slower than others. There is no need for another hint at all.
Behind the bushes ahead, on a tree that was not too tall, there was a shaking of the treetops. Because of the shrubs and dense grass, the people in the group could not see clearly.
Tao Zheng made a gesture, and the people behind him immediately slowed down and stepped more lightly. Slowly approaching that side. The skull and the other man jumped up to a nearby tree like a monkey and looked ahead. If there's prey, be ready to hunt.
Shao Xuan, through his special ability vision, was able to see a little shadow behind him through the bushes, looking at the outline, the beast over there was not big, looking at the bones, it was still in its infancy.
The jumper who jumped up the tree glanced over there and shook his head at Tao Zheng.
There's a clawed beast there. Their heads look very similar to those of horses, with slightly longer necks and strong torsos, and they usually walk slowly and slowly, but when they encounter danger, it is different, and their speed soars a few notches. Their hooves are not only large but also hard, and it is not pleasant to be kicked.
Clawed beasts are also among the prey of hunting parties. But it does not include young animals. In general, if not particularly lacking in food. When encountering such a young beast in the mountains and forests, most of the warriors of Yanjiao will not make a move, first, there is no challenge, and they can't prove their strength if they hunt, and second, there is not much meat on the young beast, which is much less than that of an adult fierce beast. It's better to save your energy to deal with the others.
Therefore, for such a young beast, the warriors prefer to save it for later hunting, or leave it to their offspring to solve.
At this time, the clawed beast, which was still a child, was supporting it on its hind legs. Standing upright, holding the trunk and eating the leaves and fruits of the tree, its ears swinging and listening to the movements around it, it did not notice that a hunting party was approaching it, and it did not know that it had escaped before it was an adult.
Further on, there is a river with a sandy and gravel area on its bank, and there is no sign of other animal activity around.
"We don't usually go to the river to get water, it's too dangerous, and if we want to get water, we can take it from some trees and grasses that carry water, or go to some mountain streams. Tao Zheng introduced to Shao Xuan in a low voice.
"What's in the river?" asked Shao Xuan.
"There are some fanged fish in the river, and sometimes anacondas lurk, but that's not the main reason. Tao Zheng pointed to the sandy area by the river, "There may be bone beasts there, and when they are there, the river is very quiet, and the fish and other underwater beasts in the river will avoid it." ”
"Bone Stone Beast?" This is a new name, and Shao Xuan has never seen it.
Looking at the sand by the river, Shao Xuan didn't find anything wrong just by what he saw, but his intuition told him that there was something there, and it was still a dangerous thing.
"The bones of the Bone Stone Beast are very hard, suitable for making bone tools, and the bone knives made are all very good things, however, the Bone Stone Beasts are not easy to hunt, their skin is too hard, and the skull is more like a layer of hard stone, and the strength is very large. If we don't have absolute certainty, we won't easily provoke the bone beasts there. Other than that, they are cunning and very well camouflaged. ”
Shao Xuan looked at the sand and gravel land on the shore again, and changed his vision, through the sand on the surface, he could see a huge skeleton that was very obvious under the sand.
There was a bone-stone beast there, no smaller than the dinosaur he had seen some time ago. And that bone stone beast, as Tao Zheng said, its head seemed to be covered with a stone helmet, or a stone helmet of high-grade stone, Shao Xuan could judge at a glance that it was very hard. At this point, the Bone Stone Beast buried its body under the sand and gravel ground, with only its head resting on the ground. Closing your eyes, pressing down your ears, shrinking your nostrils, slowing down your breathing, at first glance, it looks like an ordinary big rock on the ground. There are also some cyan moss and other plants on the stone, which are very similar to other stones on the sandy ground on the shore, and if you don't know about the bone stone beast, you probably won't think that it is actually the head of a giant beast.
Not only are they well camouflaged, they also know how to create cover-ups. If there are no large enough rocks around them to cover up, they will also look for some stones that resemble their heads, kick them to the bank of the river, and put them to make it look like they are real. It can be said that more than half of the boulders in the sandy and gravel land on the bank of the river were brought by bone stone beasts, otherwise each stone would not be extremely similar in shape.
"There's a bonestone beast there. Shao Xuan pointed to the "stone" and said. It seems that the Bone Stone Beast is a solitary species, if it lives in a group, it will be much more dangerous, you don't need to look at it at all, you can take a look from a distance and leave decisively.
Tao Zheng looked at Shao Xuan's point, he couldn't accurately determine which of those big stones was the head of the bone stone beast, but why was Shao Xuan so convinced?
In the past, hunting was too dangerous, one of the reasons was that they could not accurately judge the specific location of the Bone Stone Beast, and once they found the wrong one, they would be seized by the Bone Stone Beast to raid and fall into passivity. But if they can be sure, they may be able to hunt the bone stone beast with a little more preparation.
At the thought of hunting bone stone beasts, Tao Zheng's heart suddenly became hot, after all, they were young, and they were more inclined to challenge.
"Are you sure?" Tao Zheng asked again.
"Sure. ”
After a pause, Tao Zheng asked again, "Are there any other bone stone beasts around here?"
"No, only that one, but it's big, bigger than the dinosaur the tribe caught. Do you want to hunt?" Shao Xuan looked at Tao Zheng, whose eyes were shining.
"I'll talk to you about it. "After all, it is with a team, Tao Zheng can't act alone, ignoring the wishes of others, such a giant beast, if you want to hunt, you still have to rely on everyone, he can't do it alone.
Tao Zheng told everyone about the matter, as Tao Zheng expected, everyone is still very interested in hunting that giant beast, and if they can judge the specific location first, they will not fall into passivity at the beginning, as long as they are well prepared, even if the hunt fails, they can get out of the way.
"How can you be sure that it's the Bone Stone Beast?" he asked with a questioning and suspicious tone as he stared at Shao Xuan. was pulled by Tao Zheng and ignored it.
Others also have doubts in their hearts, but they don't have the courage to say it directly. No wonder they don't believe it, even some experienced veterans in the tribe may not dare to assert it at a glance. What if Shao Xuan is an elder? Why does he have to convince everyone in a word? Hunting is not a game, and a single mistake in judgment can put everyone in a predicament, and even cause death and injury.
Shao Xuan didn't answer Xiao directly, but looked around, pointed to the ground two steps away, and said, "There's a stone of this size down here. Shao Xuan stretched out his hand and gestured, drawing the size and shape of the stone.
Xiao and the others looked at the place Shao Xuan pointed to, where there was a thick layer of rotten leaves, and there were many relatively fresh leaves that had fallen on the surface, as well as various broken branches.
Xiao looked at Tao Zheng, saw Tao Zheng nodded slightly, then walked over quickly, took out the short knife in his hand, brushed away the broken branches and leaves on the upper layer, and dug a thin layer of soil, and saw a stone, the shape of the stone was just as Shao Xuan had depicted.
Seeing this, his eyebrows kept rising.
So accurate?!(To be continued......)
