Chapter 36: The Trapped Beast
In the afternoon, after setting up camp, all kinds of arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner under Qin Feng's command and Zhang Luo, and they were not all completed until the unitary hour.
After the soldiers had eaten dinner, Qin Feng ordered the sentry post to be withdrawn, and the camp was empty, and all the soldiers in the camp entered the camp tent and were not allowed to come out without an order.
At night, the temperature drops and the mountain wind begins to howl again.
The tent inside the camp was blown to the ground, and from the outside, the whole camp looked like an empty camp except for some burning firewood.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the wood was burning, and there was a crackling sound from time to time, Qin Feng was wiping the war knife with a piece of cloth, and Yang Hong and Yan Xiang were kneeling face to face, both closing their eyes to recuperate.
At this time, the voice of the guard armor came from outside the tent: "I've seen Miss Qiao!" ”
Xiao Qiao's voice came in: "Go and report, I want to see Qin Wuyi!" ”
"Miss Qiao, please!"
After speaking, the armor man turned around and entered the big tent, and reported to Qin Feng, who was wiping the battle knife: "Captain Qiyu, Miss Qiao is asking to see you outside the tent!" ”
"Please let her in!"
"No!"
The curtain was opened, and Xiao Qiao walked in with his hands crossed in front of his lower abdomen, "Qin Wuyi, why did you only march for half a day today, and the atmosphere in the camp was abnormal, what happened?" ”
Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and the others hurriedly got up and saluted Xiao Qiao, "I've seen Miss Qiao!" ”
Xiao Qiao also felt a little rude at this time, and hurriedly said a blessing to the two.
Qin Feng put down the rag, put the knife into the sheath, and wanted Yan Xiang to signal him to introduce it to Xiao Qiao.
Yan Xiang had no choice but to tell the story of the beast's cannibalism, and when Xiao Qiao heard that many soldiers had been eaten by unknown beasts, his face immediately pale.
She fixed her mind and said, "Didn't you meet a demon?" ”
"Demon?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, this is not a mythical world, where are there any demons?
He turned his head to look at Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, "Do you two gentlemen know if there are demons in this world?" ”
Yang Hong touched his long beard, "There have been rumors of demons in the world, but no one has really seen them, and I don't know if there are really demons in this world, at least I have lived so much in the world, I have never seen it!" ”
Yan Xiang also shook his head, "I haven't seen it either!" ”
Qin Feng spread his hands and said to Xiao Qiao: "Look, I haven't seen a demon, I'm afraid that these legends are all false, but they are used by adults to scare disobedient children!" ”
Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, "I think it's better to be careful, in this deep mountain and old forest, I don't know how long no one has come, maybe there will be some fierce monsters!" ”
Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, I know!" The hour is not early, so I will send you back to the camp. ”
"No need, I'll go back!" After Xiao Qiao finished speaking, he said a blessing to everyone and turned to leave.
Qin Feng sent her out of the tent until he saw her enter his tent before turning back.
This night, Qin Feng and the others waited for the rabbit, but they didn't expect that it would be calm and quiet, and nothing happened.
By daybreak, the officers and men of the battalions gathered in the battalion to count the number of people, and none of them were absent from work.
After hearing this, Qin Feng frowned and waved his hand: "Let the soldiers have dinner!" ”
"No!"
During breakfast, Qin Feng asked people to call Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Jun Song, Huang Yi, Lu Sheng, Lu Meng and others over one by one to discuss.
"I'm well prepared, everything is ready, just wait for the beast monster to come to the door, I didn't expect to wait in the sky last night, could it be that the beast has become a spirit? Know we're waiting for it? Qin Feng looked at everyone and expressed the doubts in his heart.
Yan Xiang pondered and said: "Captain, in my humble opinion, this beast is only afraid that it already has some wisdom, judging from the sneak attacks of the officers and soldiers in the army one after another, this beast picks on the weak points of our army's defense, and takes advantage of the time when the soldiers go to the toilet on the way to the army, this is definitely not something ordinary beasts can do!" ”
Lu Meng said at this time: "I agree with what Mr. Yan said, to deal with such a fierce beast, you can't do it by ordinary means!" ”
Qin Feng pondered about everyone's words, he thought about it for a while, and nodded: "Yes, let's treat this beast as an enemy with intelligence, but no matter how smart it is, it has to eat, this is a fact that cannot be changed, as long as it still treats us as food, it will come!" ”
"Order the officers and men of each battalion to continue to rest for a day, and wait for the next military order when to start!"
Juniper, Huang Yi and others stood up and clenched their fists and agreed: "No!" ”
Qin Feng said to Lu Meng again: "For the time being, I will give you a long deserved, if you deserve it well, then you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, if it is not deserved, you will give me an ordinary soldier!" ”
Lu Meng immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Captain!" ”
Next, Qin Feng changed his strategy, he no longer made a fuss, but adopted the method of loosening the outside and tightening the inside, on the surface, it seemed that the soldiers in the camp were loose and casual, and there were no sentries and patrols.
But in fact, many of the soldiers in the camp were ready to attack at any time.
The day passed quickly, and at nightfall the soldiers had eaten their supper and gossiped around the fire in the camp, and patrols and sentries were dispatched.
As the night deepened, the soldiers went back to sleep in the tents, and the camp gradually became empty, and the fire that had been burning vigorously continued to burn, but the fire became darker and darker.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Feng and the others were closing their eyes to recuperate, and the faint fire of the oil lamp next to them was originally burning quietly, but at this time, the curtain was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and the flame of the oil lamp was blown away and swayed.
"Jingle Bell ······" A string of bells hung from the camp pillars, and at this time there was a slight sound.
Qin Feng opened his eyes violently, his face was fierce, his hand tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, and the other people in the tent also opened their eyes one after another, and their faces changed drastically.
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!
This bell is connected to the cordon outside the camp, once the cordon is touched, the bell rings, it means that something is close to the camp, this cordon is very secretive, and the line is very thin, if you do not pay special attention to observation, it is impossible to find.
At the edge of the woods, a huge monster appeared, it walked upright, covered in colorful hair, gasping for breath in its nostrils, and mucus dripping from the corners of its mouth, it stood under a large tree and observed the camp, and quietly walked towards the edge of the camp.
Walking to the edge of the camp, it stood still again and observed, and only entered the camp when it saw that there was no abnormality.
When it came to a tent, it cut through the cloth with its sharp claws, and when it poked its huge terrifying head in, it found that it was empty.
Puzzled, it walked to another tent and lifted the curtain to look in, but it was empty.
The monster seemed to get a little angry, it gasped louder, and continued to the next camp, no one!
Then it continued to search, and before it knew it, it had reached the middle of the camp, and suddenly, it was trampled under its feet, and its huge body fell into a deep pit with a loud bang.
"Whew-" The huge beast roared out, its figure clad in pain and anger.
At this moment, a rapid gong sounded: "Dangdangdang······"
"Kill—" Countless shouts of killing came from the various camps, and the soldiers came out of the camps with weapons, bows and arrows, and surrounded the pit.
Immediately afterwards, many fires were lit in the camp, and suddenly the flames rose to the sky, as if it were day.
Juniper held the hilt of the knife and shouted: "Pull the rattan net over the old, hurry up!" ”
Dozens of soldiers ran over with a rattan net made of rattan and tough bark to cover the hole in the pit.
At this time, the beast that fell in the pit finally reacted, and learned that it had fallen into the hands of humans, and immediately let out the above roar, and struggled to pull its body out of the spiked stake, until it was dripping with blood, and its two thick upper limbs were swept away, and the spikes and stakes in the pit were all swept away by it.
At this time, Qin Feng also rushed out of the big tent, he walked to the side of the pit to check, and before he could see clearly, he saw a huge black shadow rushing up to the bottom of the deep pit, and the rattan net covering the pit was raised two meters high by this black shadow, and the soldiers who grabbed the rattan net were all pulled to slide towards the edge of the pit.
Qin Feng immediately yelled: "Stop, quickly pull the rattan net, don't let it run!" ”
Many soldiers stepped forward to help, pulling the rattan nets, and with the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, the rattan nets were finally flattened and re-covered the deep pit.
The strange saying was not willing to be trapped, and jumped up and down with a roar, but it was blocked by the rattan net, and it couldn't jump out anyway.
After several attempts, the monster seemed to feel that it was in vain, and it quickly changed its tactics, reaching out with a huge grasp to grab the rattan net.
"Click, click······"
What? Qin Feng and everyone's faces changed drastically, only to see that the fierce beast directly grabbed a big hole in the rattan net with its sharp claws, and as its claws kept cutting, the rattan nets on the rattan net were broken one by one.
"Oh no, it's going to rush up, is there a rattan net? Pull the rattan net! Someone shouted.
There were no rattan nets, and everyone had to wait with weapons and bows and arrows.
Qin Feng immediately commanded: "Pull the rattan net to the east, quickly pull it to the east!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately pulled the rattan net, and finally re-covered the deep pit with the intact part of the rattan net, but before everyone could be happy, the rattan net was scratched out of a hole by the fierce beast with its sharp claws.
"Bring the oil, go get the oil!" Qin Feng commanded loudly.
Soon a soldier came over with buckets of fire oil, and Qin Feng shouted: "Pour it in, pour it in quickly!" ”
Several barrels of fire oil were quickly poured in, which also stopped the beast from continuing to destroy the rattan nets.
Qin Feng snatched the torch from a soldier next to him and threw it into the pit, and with a "boom-" sound, a burst of fire rose into the sky.
"Whew-" The beast let out a loud roar of pain and rolled violently through the pit.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how fierce you are now, you should be burned to death, right?
If nothing else, an accident will happen soon!
Everyone would soon be burned to death because of the beast, but they saw it struggle and roll in the fire, then crawled up, and then opened its bloody mouth and roared.
A huge roar came out, and a violent wind rolled up at the bottom of the pit, and in an instant, the fire was extinguished instantly, and the blackened beast rolled at the bottom of the pit a few times, and the fire on its body was also extinguished.
"it!" Qin Feng's eyes were about to pop out when he saw it.
The others weren't much better, they all looked at this scene in disbelief, this beast is too flexible and smart, right?
How is it possible, how is it possible? This beast is smarter than a man, and the soldiers were stunned by this scene, and their minds stopped turning.
Some people came back to their senses, and their footsteps began to move back slowly.
