Chapter 12: Departure
In early autumn, the weather gets cooler. Goudan wore a slightly thin white linen coat, and when he went out of the house, Rao was a little unable to bear this autumn morning with Goudan's current physique.
After shuddering, Goudan snorted and tightened the burden on his back, and Goudan strode out of the threshold.
When I came to the stream next to the village, I washed my eggs and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Before arriving at the entrance of the village, Goudan saw from a distance that there were already twenty strong figures standing under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, which were members of the hunting team who went out to hunt this time.
After Goudan hurriedly ran over and approached, Goudan found that these twenty sturdy figures, each carrying two to three bone spears two or three meters long. Only the captain Zhang Li, in addition to carrying three bone guns, also carried the ring-edged knife weighing a thousand catties diagonally.
When Zhang Li saw the arrival of the dog, he reached out and threw a short gun of about 1.3 meters.
"Take it, although it was agreed that you can't shoot, but in case of emergency, you still have some weapons at hand. ”
"Okay. ”
Goudan took the one-meter-three short spear with one hand and weighed it with his hand, and found that this bone short spear weighed 100 pounds. The weight of 100 catties and the length of the short gun are just right for him now, after all, his current height is only one meter two.
He slung the short gun, which was taller than himself, on his waist, and tightened the burden again, just to catch the short gun and fix it on his waist.
Zhang Li sorted out the weapon on his back, turned to a delicate young man and asked, "Do you have enough bone meal?"
This handsome young man is Hu Niu's cousin, named Zhang Muzhi, and is one of the few people in the village with a good name.
Bone meal is a special medicinal powder made from the feces of second-order demon beasts and the bones of first-order demon beasts ground into powder, and then added to a medicinal herb called demonless grass. This thing is a recipe that has been handed down a long, long time ago, and this medicinal powder is sometimes much more important than dry food, and it can even be said that it is better to bring bone meal without dry food.
Without dry food, you can still survive by hunting, and if you don't have bone meal while hunting, those few words can be said to be certain death.
The danger in the wild lies in the fact that there are many demon beasts, and demon beasts especially rely on smell to track their prey when hunting, and bone meal relies on the feces of second-order demon beasts and the bone powder breath of first-order demon beasts to temporarily cover the breath of humans. The demonless grass can be simulated into the breath of plants, and the demon beast hates the smell of the demonless grass very much, and if you want to rest well in the wild, then bone meal is an essential thing.
"Don't worry, Brother Li, it's not the first time I've participated in hunting, bone meal must be enough. It's just that there are only three bottles of hemostatic powder, can it work?" Zhang Muzhi replied.
"Our destination this time is the Qingshui Plain, where there are enough hemostatic herbs, be careful that some three bottles of hemostatic powder are enough. Zhang Zhang said.
The dog didn't say anything, he didn't know anything about it, this time he just had to follow the arrangement.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Zhang clapped his hands and shouted.
A group of 21 people walked by the old locust tree at the entrance of the village in two columns.
"Dog, you're the first time you're participating, just follow me in a while. Zhang Muzhi said.
"Got it, Uncle Makino, you've been involved in two hunts, right?" asked Goudan curiously.
"Well, that's not the two times before I hunted four first-order demon beasts. Zhang Muzhi said with a little pride.
After all, he is still a teenager, and he is a little proud.
The others were chatting with each other, basically discussing the situation of the last hunt.
"Hey, I said that the water rhinoceros last time was really difficult, Brother Li shot it three times, and it was like nothing. ”
"Well, no, who would have thought that it would also have a talent inheritance, and it could heal itself while standing in the water, and in the end, if it wasn't for Brother Li's three knives to cut it down on the door of the head, we would probably have to spend a lot of time. ”
Dogs are listening to it with relish, after all, these are also valuable experiences.
Goudan suddenly turned back to Zhang Muzhi and asked, "Uncle Muzhi, what kind of land is the Qingshui Plain?"
"Oh, the first time I went hunting, I went to the Clear Water Plain. Brother Li said that the Qingshui Plain is the place with the fewest demon beasts and the most medicinal herbs in this area, and the danger is naturally low when there are few demon beasts. ”
Goudan made a note of this place, with the most herbs, and if he came out alone, he might use it sometime.
"What's the most dangerous place?" asked Dogan again.
"Blue Demon Valley and Pingshi Basin Residence say that there are many second-order demon beasts in these two places. Zhang Muzhi stretched out his hand and pointed to the north and said.
"Well, I know the north is the most dangerous. ”
Except for the remaining twenty people, fourteen of them have already entered the training period, and although the other six members of the hunting team have not stepped into the early stage of training, they are also old hunters who have been taking demon beast meat all year round, and their strength is not weak, and their foot strength will naturally not be bad.
After more than ten minutes, the group of twenty people had already left the three-kilometer range of the village, and after arriving here, the group of twenty people changed formation without saying a word.
At least these people have participated in two hunting operations, and at most have even participated in no less than twenty hunts, so they naturally know that they can already encounter monsters in the wild when they arrive here.
Two of the six veteran hunters walked at the front to clear the way for everyone, followed by five members of the early stage of the training team who were quite experienced. After that, there are Goudan and Zhang Muzhi, and the rest of the others, including Zhang Li, protect Goudan and Zhang Muzhi in the middle in a semi-circular arc position.
The dog was protected in the middle by tension because he couldn't shoot, and Zhang Muzhi was protected because he was carrying bone meal and hemostatic powder.
When they arrived here, everyone stopped chatting, looked cautiously guarded, and even their steps were much lighter.
The dog also no longer speaks, hunting is never a play, every time someone will be injured or even killed, at this time it is best to learn from these seniors.
Dog Dan suddenly realized that this place was not far from the place where he had last met the wolf king, because he had already seen the small hill. Thinking of that battle, the dog smiled, after all, it was the first battle after rebirth, of course, the memory is deep.
Behind the hill is a forest, whose leaves are yellowing and the autumn wind is falling.
The yellowing leaves on the ground creaked when they stepped on it.
The people who arrived here could no longer hide the noise under their feet, and had to be more vigilant about the situation around them, especially on the branches of the trees. Because this is the habitat of the fiery snakes, and because winter is approaching, it is now the time for them to hunt.
In addition to the creaking sound of the twenty people's feet, only the sound of continuous breathing was mixed in.
Bang!
Suddenly, an old hunter walking on the right side of the front pierced a tree on the left side with a shot.
The hunter on the left followed with a spear in his hand.
Bang!
There was an explosion, and the tree on the left was cut off with a single shot. A fiery red python crouching on top of it that was about to sneak up on everyone was cut off along with the tree.
This fiery red python is the thickness of an ordinary person's arm, and the whole is more than two meters long, but at this time, this big python is broken into two from a seven-inch position.
The two old hunters at the front were so experienced that they had already heard the subtle sound of the python swimming. After the two approached, they did not hesitate to shoot two shots, one shot fixed it, and the second shot killed them with one blow.
The old hunter on the right side of the front made a horizontal gesture to indicate that the Fire Mulberry Snake was dead.
The members of the One Life Hunting Team who were behind the dog's egg came to the corpse of the Fire Mulberry Snake, took out a short knife with a strange shape like a sickle, and simply handled the meat of the Fire Mulberry Python and then put it into the baggage.
The whole process didn't take more than three minutes, and there was no communication during the whole process, and the fire mulberry python was arranged very neatly.
The dog was amazed, the strength of the two old hunters had not reached the training period, and the limit strength was no more than six hundred catties. It's so easy to deal with a demon beast with the same strength as a one-eyed wolf, which makes Goudan have to admire.
Zhang Li straightened his arm and waved his palm twice.
At first, Goudan didn't understand what it meant, but later he realized that everyone was moving faster, and he understood that it meant to speed up.
This is the habitat of the fire mulberry snake, although this mulberry forest is very large, but the fire mulberry snake's sense of smell is extremely perverted, and the bloody gas of this piece will soon attract other fire mulberry snakes, so leave quickly.
Goudan followed everyone to speed up, and suddenly a black stone bottle was handed over beside him, and the powder was directly smeared on Goudan's head without saying anything.
After Zhang Muzhi smeared the dog's eggs with bone meal, he handed the bottle to the people in front, and then took out a bottle and handed it to the people behind.
After everyone had applied it in turn, it was the turn of the young man who carried the snake meat on his back, who first poured out a handful of powder and rubbed it on the burden of the meat, and then applied the rest of the powder to his head and hands. This was to cover up the bloody smell of the fire mulberry snake meat, and the man's hands had also touched the snake meat, so naturally he was also stained with blood, so he also smeared some bone powder on his hands.
After everyone finished smearing, they handed the bone meal bottle back, and Zhang Muzhi carefully wrapped a layer of cloth and put it into the baggage.
Si!
Three snake chirps sounded, and the dog Dan intently observed the ground covered with mulberry leaves, and found two fire mulberry snakes in the forefront, but there was still one dog egg that he never saw where it was.
As soon as the snake roared, the spears in the hands of the two old hunters in front of him were thrown out.
Two two-meter-long bone powerhouses were projected with a strong wind roar.
Bang!
The two shots were respectively pierced seven inches away from the two fire snakes that were half a cut smaller than before.
The two old hunters made a horizontal gesture to indicate that the two fiery snakes were dead.
At this moment, the sound of thunder bursting through the air sounded.
A spear that looked like a cannonball shot out from the right side of the dog's egg.
Bang!
A thick branch fell from the mulberry tree on the right side of the old hunter, and the spear continued to shoot with a fiery mulberry snake about five meters long.
Si!
The five-meter-long fire snake was not dead.
The five-meter-long fiery snake twisted its body in pain, wrapping around the spear that exploded like thunder.
