128. Dancing with the bears
After calculating the supplies of the second squad, the merchant Larkin asked He Boqiang, "What do you need me to prepare for you this time?" ”
'A bag of salt, five alloy bows, five daggers, two axe blades, and a bag of steel arrows. He Boqiang wrote on a piece of parchment.
"That's all?" Businessman Larkin to He Boqiang.
He Boqiang nodded.
"Okay, you wait for me, I won't be delayed for too long."
With that, the merchant Larkin walked out.
After a while, the merchant Larkin brought back a leather bag, which looked a little heavy, and he placed it at the door of the tent, and untied the bag to reveal a cluster of steel arrows the size of two little fingers, which required only a round hardwood pole and a feather wedged into the tail, which was a fine feathered arrow.
Those natives don't know how to make iron, and the only weapons in their hands are stone axes and maces in addition to wooden spears and bows, and the natives have no problem hunting small beasts in the forest with these weapons, but if they want to hunt large beasts, and want to resist the attacks of those ferocious beasts in the forest, they can only rely on their fate, and only those who run fast can survive at that time.
The weapons that He Boqiang brought to the Great Wizard of Innoyatila last time were very much liked by the Great Wizard, so on this trip to the indigenous village, He Boqiang prepared to carry as many weapons as possible, hoping that these weapons could improve the living conditions of the indigenous people.
The merchant Larkin wrapped the alloy bow in oiled paper and tied it with He Boqiang's sleeping bag, and a heavy bag of stainless steel arrows and salt was hung underneath, five daggers were inserted in his belt, and two axe blades were strung with rope and tied around his waist, the weight of these things exceeded two hundred pounds, even if He Boqiang had the buff effect of the 'Divine Blessed Body' at the moment, carrying these things was almost to the limit of his physical strength.
He Boqiang set out from the forest camp under the scorching sun, climbed the ridge next to the river valley, and almost became food for the Tim fish when he waded through the shallow stalls in the river valley, but He Boqiang had no idea of hunting the Tim fish.
This dense forest is inaccessible and very far from the camp of the forest farm, and the hunting party on the other side of the forest farm will not easily run here, so the indigenous village here has always been a hidden existence.
Stepping into an oak forest, He Boqiang stepped on the humus soil full of dead branches, and when the dead branches broke, there was a crackling sound, startling a group of birds in the forest fluttering up.
At this time, there was a short low roar between the dense forests, and an earth storm bear suddenly poked its head out of the woodland from behind the oak tree and roared at He Boqiang, startling He Boqiang.
When he looked at the crescent moon pattern on the chest of the earth storm bear, he found that it was the familiar beast bear, the expression on He Boqiang's face was also very exciting, some surprises of reunion, and also fear of the fierce beast of the earth storm bear, He Boqiang hesitated to get closer, and the bear also stared at He Boqiang with big copper bell eyes, and when he saw He Boqiang trying to get closer, he let out a warning roar.
He Boqiang spread out his hands and signaled that he had no other movements, just approaching the Earth Storm Bear step by step, but the Earth Storm Bear took two steps back under He Boqiang's pressure step by step, and let out a warning roar again.
Seeing that the Earth Storm Bear was unwilling to let him approach, and there was no action such as a pounce, just standing there quietly, He Boqiang shrugged his shoulders, cautiously passed by it sideways, and walked to the depths of the oak forest, but he didn't expect the Earth Storm Bear to wriggle its huge ass. Follow behind He Boqiang.
One man and one bear, just walked in this woodland for a long time.
Until it got dark, He Boqiang found a place on higher ground, unloaded the heavy goods on his body, and took out a simple hammock and tied it between two trees, and spread the sleeping bag on the hammock, he cleaned it all up, cleared a clean open space, lit a bonfire, and cooked some marching rations in an iron pot.
This kind of rice cereal-like thing doesn't taste very good, He Boqiang pinched his nose and ate a little bit before he had no appetite, threw the iron pot aside, and took a sip of water to clear the taste in his mouth.
The Earth Storm Bear sat not too far from the fire, and under his paws was the elk that had been bleeding all the time, and the elk's belly had been hollowed out by the Earth Storm Bear, and now it was tearing at the fattest part of the elk's tail.
When it saw He Boqiang stop, it shook its body violently and stood up from the ground, and while He Biqiang walked to the front of the hammock, the earth storm bear slowly walked to the side of the bonfire, and put a bloody bear face into the iron pot.
The Earth Storm Bear stretched out its tongue and licked the edge of the iron pot, and when it tried the iron pot, it was so delicious that the big tongue curled up twice, and the batter in the entire iron pot was licked away.
Then, the earth storm bear pushed the iron pot with its claws and roared at He Boqiang.
He Boqiang was still in a daze, the Earth Storm Bear had already turned around, twisted his fat body and took the half-eaten elk in his mouth, threw it in front of He Boqiang with a 'plop', and pulled out the iron pot in front of him with his paws again.
This time He Boqiang understood it, the earth storm bear just wanted to eat the marching rations, He Boqiang picked up the iron pot on the ground, and cooked a pot of rice cereal on the bonfire, the earth storm bear was greedy, saw that the iron pot was still bubbling, and wanted to come over to eat the rice cereal in the pot, He Boqiang was worried that the rice paste would burn its tongue, and subconsciously pushed its big head away.
The Earth Storm Bear roared at He Boqiang very reluctantly, and his mouth stained with deer blood was next to He Boqiang, full of a strong fishy smell.
He Boqiang was startled, and only then did he realize that the Earth Storm Bear was only a foot away from him, and one person and one bear looked at each other for a while, and the Earth Storm Bear did not have any dangerous moves, so He Boqiang put the iron pot aside.
The Earth Storm Bear got the iron pot with the rice cereal and was immediately attracted to the iron pot, but it did not forget the elk in exchange, and pushed the elk that it had eaten to He Boqiang.
He Boqiang was not polite, using a thin-skinned knife to cut a piece of fresh meat in a good place on the back of the elk, and using a wooden stick to skewer the meat and roast it on the fire.
The earth storm bear lay quietly beside him like this, tasting the pot of rice cereal carefully, and didn't even glance at He Boqiang.
And He Boqiang got the most tender eye meat on the elk, and this barbecue was extremely delicious.
He Boqiang brought a total of three days of marching rations this time, and cooked them all to the Earth Storm Bear in one go, but this marching ration was enough to make the Earth Storm Bear full, but fortunately, there was still the half of the elk, and the Earth Storm Bear swallowed all the bones and meat into his stomach like eating carrots, and then he lay down contentedly.
At night, the Earth Storm Bear slept next to the bonfire, its curled body lying in the woodland, and its body was almost as tall as He Boqiang's.
Such a ferocious demonic beast only had a slight breathing sound when it fell asleep.
Lying in his sleeping bag, He Boqiang felt a little unbelievable at the thought that he had actually spent the night with an earth storm bear.
Confusion and sleepiness came up, and in the midst of cranky thoughts, I fell asleep unconsciously.
The next morning, He Boqiang woke up in his sleep and found that the earth storm bear was still asleep, he jumped down lightly, put his bag on his back, and planned to leave this woodland, but he didn't expect that he had just taken a few steps forward, and found that the earth behind him kept trembling, and the earth storm bear actually followed again.
Until He Boqiang came to the mouth of the valley where the indigenous village was located.
Standing in front of the valley, He Boqiang was worried that if he brought the Earth Storm Bear into the village, the bear would be ferocious and eat the natives of the village......
But the earth storm bear stopped in the dense forest first, and after roaring at He Boqiang twice, it turned around and walked silently into the dense forest.
He Boqiang was left alone to walk into the valley where the indigenous village was located......
