Chapter 38: The Pursuit
"Bang"
A giant bear paw more than a foot high, black all over, and no miscellaneous hair slapped down was blocked by Li Moke with one hand, and then the other fist swung up, and the fist with the finger tiger hit the black bear's head firmly, and the black bear couldn't stand Li Moke's huge force and fell to the ground.
There was already a noticeable depression in the head of the black bear that had fallen to the ground, which showed how amazing Li Moko's strength was. Li Moke held his left wrist with his right hand, and his left hand swayed from side to side at will, and said disdainfully: "It's really weak! I can't help a fist, and I dare to take the initiative to provoke." What a death!"
Suddenly, Li Yihan, who was not far from him, couldn't help but sneer when he heard it: "You can be so happy with a fourth-level fierce beast? ”
Hearing this, Li Moke's face suddenly darkened, and his fists gradually clenched his bones, and the sound of crackling sounded: "Hmph, it's just careless that I lost to you once." Crazy what? I kind of do it again now, and let me teach you how to be a human being. ”
"Hahaha, come on. Afraid you won't make it?" said Li Yihan's long knife was already in his hand.
"Easy Cold"
"Moko"
Just when Li Yihan and Li Moke were facing each other, the voices of Li Ayasheng and Li Jinli sounded at the same time, stopping the battle that had not yet happened. And Li Mo turned a deaf ear to all this, his left hand was across his abdomen to support the elbow of his right hand, and his right hand was clenched into a fist, and the tight and powerful knuckles were propped up on his chin.
This is Li Mo's standard contemplative posture, which comes from the detective animation he loved to watch in the present world when he was a child, and Li Mo, who was too lazy to change it when he grew up, has continued this habit to the present.
And Li Mo has maintained this posture for a long time, since a quarter of an hour ago, when he arrived at the place where Li Jinli and others found the iron-backed porcupine hoof prints, Li Mo has unconsciously become like this, which means that Li Mo has been pondering for a quarter of an hour.
At this time, he was always staring at the ground, purely subconsciously walking, so Li Mo, who had been at the forefront of the team, seemed to have made some new discovery, half-squatting on the ground and observing something. Then he reached out and picked up a handful of dark red dirt from the ground, crushed it, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
Li Ayasheng, who had just withdrawn his attention from Li Yihan, noticed this detail, hurriedly sped up a few steps to Li Mo's side and squatted down, and asked, "Second brother, have you made any new discoveries?"
After a deep groan, Li Mo pointed to the ground and said, "The iron-backed porcupine has strong endurance, but it is not suitable for explosive activities such as strong running. So they rarely run strongly, but you can see that the hoof prints are spaced and disorganized, indicating that these ironback porcupines experienced a mess a day ago. And the iron-backed porcupine herd is in groups, and the number of this pig herd is more than a hundred, and the weaker sixth-level fierce beasts dare not provoke them.
What can make them so chaotic in the Fierce Beast Forest, except for the large-scale round-up of our own family, is that there is only a powerful seventh-level fierce beast that may be in the central circle. There was also a pool of dried blood, which confirmed the accuracy of my suspicion that something was chasing them. And my other guess you should know, right? But I haven't figured out why until now. ”
Li Ayasheng actually had a guess in his heart when he saw the hoof prints of the iron-backed porcupine from the very beginning, and he was also thinking about this problem along the way. And the reason why he asked so much just now was only because he saw Li Mo squatting on the ground as if he had found something, and he did it out of politeness.
But he didn't expect that Li Mo had already sorted out a process, and he also thought of the deeper doubts like him. As a result, Li Ayasheng also glanced at the Li family's single name who had basically never communicated with him, but had only heard of it.
Li Ayasheng's thoughts flashed in his heart, and he immediately took over the conversation: "Indeed, I still haven't understood why this seventh-level fierce beast would run from the center circle to the edge of this inner circle from a distance of dozens of miles. This journey of more than seventy miles, even if a seventh-level fierce beast will not be harassed by a low-level fierce beast, it will take at least more than an hour to run all the way. But this is strange, why would a seventh-level fierce beast that doesn't worry about eating and drinking even in the central circle come so far to hunt?"
Li Mo also shook his head when he heard this, he had never been able to figure out this very strange question. The seventh-level fierce beast ran to the edge of the inner circle to hunt, which was no less than leaving the big meal at the door and then walking for a day to eat garbage far away.
Although the gap is not so big, but the nature is about the same, and this is not a disease, what is it? But the fierce beast that does not have too high intelligence, but only relies on instinct to do things, obviously does not have mental illness, and there must be some reason for this.
And the current situation is like this, but in the face of such an abnormal situation, Li Mo can't come up with a reason.
Just when Li Mo was also silent and Li Ayasheng was relatively speechless, Li Jinli's voice suddenly sounded in front of him: "There is a big pool of blood here, judging from the degree of dryness, it should be four or five hours ago, there was an iron-backed porcupine here who was seriously injured by disembowelment. ”
Li Mo looked up, and Li Jinli was already six feet away in front of him at some point. Half a meter or so under his feet was dark red, but this was not a strange place, how could the soil be dark red? I think it must have been blood soaked in the soil to make it what it is now.
And that pool of blood was at least dozens of times larger than the fist-sized blood stain here from Li Mo, even if the iron-backed porcupine was relatively large, but after shedding so much blood, I am afraid that it would die.
Then, without waiting for Li Mo and the others to speak, Li Jinli continued: "Let's not talk about anything else, the top priority now is to find out if the trapper is still there." The seventh-level beast is still a big threat to us, so let's take advantage of it now. We can round it up first to reduce the pressure once we enter the center circle. ”
Li Mo couldn't help but nod secretly when he heard this, in fact, he thought the same thing just now, but Li Jinli opened his mouth first and Li Mo didn't say anything.
"That's right, I agree. Li Mo was the first to speak in agreement, and Li Ayasheng naturally nodded in agreement when he saw this.
After the big goal was set, Li Mo and others gathered everyone to explain the situation to everyone.
And repeatedly instructed not to leave the large army too far, and then they began to continue the pursuit, and after a short time, under the tracking of Li Mo and others, they began to gradually find that these hoof prints had scattered and fled.
Although the hoof prints were scattered, fortunately, Li Mo and the others had not lost their target according to the bloodstains that could be seen from time to time at that time, and some clues found from time to time could also boost their morale.
But at this moment, new difficulties appeared again, after a day's rush, when Li Mo found the traces of chaos in the iron-backed porcupine herd just now, the sky was actually close to dusk. (To be continued)
