Chapter 4: The Herd
In the canyon, two hunters tiptoed under the steep mountain wall, and in the early morning the cliff wall grew wet and slippery, and the hunter held a hunting halberd against the cliff wall and kept walking deep into the mountain stream. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A cool breeze blew in along the narrow mountain wall, and the two hunters felt a chill in their bodies......
In the deep canyon, on top of a cyan boulder in the winding mountain stream, a silver creature turned into a wind shadow and ran towards the dense jungle outside the canyon.
Outside the canyon, dozens of hunters couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they saw that their two companions had not returned.
"Brother Gu, Gu Man, are they in trouble?!...... so long"
The hunter, who was crawling in the grass outside the canyon, looked at the two companions and never returned, and said to the leader who was crawling in the grass beside him.
"Woo ......"
An inexplicable roar of beasts was heard in the dense jungle.
"Alert!!" the sudden roar of the beast startled many of the hunters, and the leader hurriedly shouted.
"Uncle Gu, there are wolves!" At the moment when the leader of the Orion shouted, a young hunter who had been assigned to cover on the outer edge hurried over, but was blocked by the dense branches on the ground and fell into the grass fiercely.
"Uncle Gu, wolf... Wolf... A lot of strange beasts!" said the young hunter, as if stimulated by some fear, and looked at the leader in horror.
It takes a long time for spirit beasts to evolve different from human beings, and it took a year for a second-order high-level silver wolf to be promoted to a high-level beast king, nature is fair, and it takes a thousand years for a rare spirit beast to advance to the third order.
Just as it takes decades for human spirit martial arts to cultivate to the spirit body realm, it is undoubtedly a heavenly barrier for the long life of spirit beasts, and after crossing this beast tribulation, these demonic beasts will revive the extraordinary bloodline of their ancestors in their bodies and promote fierce beasts with terrifying potential.
Whether it is the outer edge of the Qilian Mountain Range, the second-order golden eagle bird in the sky or this silver wolf with rare demonic beast bloodlines, when they have not revived the ancestral bloodline, they are just spirit beast kings on the outer edge, but once these two beast king ranks succeed, they will have the hope of being promoted to the terrifying ancient fierce beast-level demonic beasts.
"Woo....... "The beast's low roar came one after another.
The hunters hurriedly covered the traps with fluffy grass and gathered together with hunting weapons to defend themselves against the surprise attack of the herd.
The sky gradually darkened, the hunters in the jungle were covered in cold sweat and crawled in the bushes, carefully covering their bodies, the beast attack generally only comes in the dark night, but the hunters have no choice, rushing out rashly will obviously crash directly into the beast herd, and the trap laid before will be useless.
The dense bushes are full of traps, and several leader-level spirit beasts in the jungle are extremely vigilant, and the beasts gradually surround the bush area where the hunters are in the jungle, and the hunters are waiting for the beasts to step into the trap and escape from the jungle, and a large number of hunting traps are arranged in the mountains outside to prepare for retreat.
This hunting party was clearly different from the ordinary hunters in the nearby villages, and even the few young hunters who had begun to panic from the herd slowly calmed down and waited for the night to fall.
The Orions confront the native beasts in this dangerous jungle......
Outside the two hostile groups, in the jungle of ancient trees, the boy lay drowsy on the thick branches.
The sun sets in the west, the setting sun scatters a soft light, and the entire mountain range is covered with red clouds, and the mountains are quiet and peaceful in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Night fell.
.....
"Roar... "The sunset is fading, the sky is getting darker, and the silence of the jungle is a little eerie...... The beast roared in this mountain forest seemed to be a little helpless, and the low beast roar continued to come from the gradually dark and silent jungle.
"Brother Gu! these beasts can't help it......" Listening to the roar of the beasts coming from around the jungle getting closer and closer, several skilled hunters in the grass frowned.
"Alas.... This time I'm in a hurry... Although there are no high-level fierce beasts in this jungle, that beast king can actually drive some alien brute beasts, this time it is a bit troublesome!" Listening to the low tiger roar, leopard roar, and even some strange beast roars from the beast herd, the leader was a little uneasy.
The jungle was full of beasts, and there were also more than a dozen huge brute beasts, with huge bodies like houses, full of violent aura.
"It's coming!!" A sudden alarm came from the bushes, and the hunters waited for the attack of the herd.
.....In the dark jungle, two or three pairs of scarlet eyes, exuding gloom, were eerie, and several brute beasts gradually attacked the area where the hunters were ambushing.
In the dark night, several pairs of scarlet beast pupils, the fierce aura that could not be concealed, three behemoths suddenly appeared in the jungle, each of which was seven or eight meters long, comparable to the giant elephant cubs in the forest.
Dressed in brindle fluff, three fierce beasts shaped like tigers and leopards proudly walked forward from the jungle, their sturdy fur revealing from under the bushes.
The three adult Pixiu, each seven or eight meters long, were dressed in brown striped fur, the body shape was like a tiger and a leopard, with a hideous appearance, with sharp and sharp teeth, with the fierce aura of a brute beast.
The two beasts had apparently been sent by the herd to 'scout their way', lurking in the jungle and searching for the Orion's thicket areas.
"Woo....!" one of the adult Pixiu in the lead roared to warn his companion.
A Pixiu stared at its companion who had almost stepped into the trap, prostrate on all fours on the ground, vigilantly observing its surroundings and letting out an uneasy roar.
Pixiu, who stepped on the trap, looked at the shiny metallic luster under the beast's hooves, exuding a bloodthirsty edge through the dirt and dry grass, carefully withdrew his hooves and slowly retreated backwards.
The three brute beasts roared as if they had human intelligence, and it was clear that these brute beasts had experience in dealing with hunter traps.
The earth-shattering roar of "Roaring !!" spread throughout the silent mountains.
One Pixiu couldn't step into the irretrievable trap and was pounced on by the trap on the top of the bush, and the other two were frightened and trembling by the miserable roar of their companions, but the roar of the leader came from the jungle, and they had to look at their companions with pity and continue to sneak.
"What a clever brute!!" the leader of the Orion frowned, hearing the miserable roar of the beast stepping on the trap, and it was clear that only one or two beasts were lurking.
The roars of humans and beasts were heard in the forest, and on the branches of the giant trees not far away, the young man looked intently at the canyon in the distance, as if looking for the trace of the silver wolf.
The fight between humans and beasts from ancient times to the present, the battle for survival, it doesn't matter whether it is good or evil, each population has its own rules of survival, the boy grew up on the beast mountain since he was a child, and saw many adult beasts preying on the cubs of natural enemies, and high-level beasts devouring weak brute beasts, he can't interfere with this balance of nature, after all, this is the law of survival of the fittest in this world, even if he helps this group of beasts now, or supports the same kind, he can't change anything, the laws of nature are not something that anyone can destroy.
