Chapter Eighty-Four: Bear Hunting

I slept in the afternoon, ate a good meal in the evening, and a group of people all set out with a little glass of wine and a shower.

Bathing is to remove the smell from the body, and the smell of savages is very strong and can be easily detected and avoided by wild animals.

Delen explained various precautions to Lawrence, "When hunting bears, you must find the bear first, if it is found by a bear with its head bowed like a bug, it will die like a bug." ”

Lawrence asked, "What is the bear's main food?" ”

Delen: "Pigs, deer, cattle and sheep, fish in the water, and big seals on the ice. ”

Pigs and deer and sheep are easy to understand, and there are indeed many corresponding wild animals here.

People here can't distinguish between animals that are too detailed, those who look like wild boars are pigs, those with horns and thinner ones are sheep, and those with horns are deer.

"Will bears still go down the mountain to eat cows?" Lawrence felt that the bear deserved to die.

The warrior of ClΓΈda, beside Delenn, replied: "There are bison in the mountains, and they like to rush down from the mountains, and their horns are very sharp, and they are very stupid, and they are almost dead, and they are rare now." ”

Lawrence asked, "Can it be domesticated?" ”

Delen replied: "No, we have tried this and failed, these cows will take the initiative to attack people when they grow up, and they will kill people if they don't give them food in winter, and the rest of the time they will be attacked by them as long as they have their backs to them." ”

Saliel nodded and said, "The same goes for the Dom sheep, I was hit by Nala when I was a child, and I got up and beat it. ”

Cattle and sheep have an instinct to sneak up, especially rams and bulls.

It's the same with chickens, it's not the spirit of rebellion, it's the instinctive gene of rebellion.

Even if it is domesticated for thousands of years, this gene will still exist.

The larger the number, the more such cases.

Cattle and sheep are already considered good, pigs are more aggressive, and bears are significantly more dangerous than wild boars.

Once the body size becomes larger and the male hormones are too strong, then it is inevitable to be brave and ruthless.

"Delen, I remember you said before that you wanted to domesticate the Earth Storm Bear, and failed?"

Delen replied seriously: "No, what I want to domesticate is a violent wild boar, the earth violent bear cannot be domesticated, and we can't raise such a big bear." ”

Bears are carnivores, and they are large in size, so they are indeed difficult to domesticate.

Lawrence lost an apiary this time, and all ten beehives inside were wiped out.

A family can eat honey for a month, which is obviously a matter of bite for the earth bear and the violent bear.

Bees in the wild will build their nests on cliffs, and after the hometown is taken away this time, the surviving bees will basically not choose to build their nests on the ground.

However, there are basically no surviving bees, and this time the losses are heavy.

Fortunately, he has long understood that eggs cannot be put in one basket, and Lawrence's sense of crisis is reflected in many aspects such as his residence, apiary, ranch and blacksmith shop.

There are also apiaries in the downstream zone, and three beekeeping bases have been opened.

No. 1 is the earliest base and the site of this disaster, and it is dominated by flowers from the mountains and forests and the nearby valley meadows.

No. 2 is an open area near the mountainside, where the former missionaries and Lawrence branched out, closer to the flower gathering area below and on the mountainside.

No. 3 is the area south of the stream, and Lawrence opened up the lower reaches of the area before the discovery of the Foresters, relying on the power of Kehalan to grow some flowers and plants for beekeeping and medicinal purposes.

After there are many people, there will be No. 4 and No. 5 bases, and this year I am busy with things such as defending against foreign enemies and going to sea, so I don't have time to do this.

The yield of beeswax is low, and there is generally no intention to buy it, so both southern and western merchants prefer to buy crow dung, medicinal powder, or ironware.

Honey is mainly eaten by oneself, and beeswax is stored a lot and is reluctant to use it for oneself...... Usually at night, the brazier is burned, and it is warm and bright.

Lawrence wasn't nervous about the bear hunt, he had enough firepower, enough people, and an experienced hunter like Deren to assist.

The Claudans have all experience in hunting, and this time the main force is the Clauda, followed by the remaining Bhumesi.

Because of the time, it was too late to inform the old knight of Tulaka, but at noon he had already sent someone to call him back, and if he could not meet the bear today, he should be in the hunting party tomorrow night.

Loshanda stayed at the manor to prevent his hometown from being stolen.

"There are two apiaries, I take people to sit there in the middle stronghold, and the rest are divided into two groups, Delenn and Brick take people to No. 2 apiary, Sariel and Sophia go to No. 3 base, and Keharan and I are ready to support."

The crowd quickly separated, and Lawrence was stationed on the hill with the largest number of men, the closest center to the manor, the mountainside, and the mountain.

Men had been stationed here to monitor the massive attacks from the south, but this was not the direction of the Stahl's territory.

Most of the mountainous and plain areas have more than one road, and the only transportation artery such as the village of Kur is more competitive and must-take because of this unique advantage.

The weather in autumn has become colder, especially in the mountains, which are already cooler than in the areas below.

Kehalan and the rest of the men patrolled the neighborhood, surrounded by soldiers and shield maidens, and Lawrence sat alone at the fire thinking about things.

A bear can contribute a lot of meat and fur, but for the bear to mobilize more than 50 people to hunt for itself, production in the territory must be temporarily suspended.

The hives destroyed by the bears are nothing, mainly honey and bees, which are hatched one by one and have been accumulated for more than two years.

Originally, it was planned to continue the expansion next year, but it will be delayed for a few years.

The Earth Storm Bear is difficult to deal with, this is Delen's judgment, and Lawrence believes Delen's judgment.

If you can deal with it, you will definitely be able to kill the Earth Storm Bear, but it can't be without a price.

More than fifty people have to give some rewards regardless of success or failure, and these rewards are easy to say, Lawrence mainly does not want anyone to be hurt, and does not want to die because of this bear.

Lawrence pondered how to fight, how to command, and how to rescue the wounded if he encountered the Earth Storm.

For all the nobles and chieftains of this era, it is worth exchanging a few lives for a bear, and this kind of good thing wishes to come a few more times.

Lawrence just wanted to avoid this kind of thing.

"Wang!!"

"Wang!!"

In the distance, a dog barked in the forest, and Lawrence, who often feeds the dog, quickly stood up and vigilantly looked for the direction of the sound.

"Wow!"

"Wang!"

The sound seemed to come from all directions, and Lawrence reacted quickly after listening for two or three seconds!

"It's the direction of the manor!" Lawrence could hear the threat and warning in the barking, which was clearly a sound that only came when encountering danger.

"Let's go back first! Salavin went to inform Sariel! There's Brick there in Delen, and she'll be back on her own! ”

"Go home!"

Lawrence decisively gave the order to return to the reinforcements, and quickly ran back towards the manor.

Keharan quickly followed, and the shieldmaidens and soldiers nearby sped back.

Everyone's family members were in the manor, and after discovering that the manor was in danger, they naturally rushed back to the rescue.

Idiot! Lawrence was angry in his heart that he had ignored the laws of nature!

It is impossible for the bear to eat honey because of its size, and it is not easy for a bear in the wild to encounter honey that can be reached, and the bear is reluctant to accept the honey here, but it must also fill its stomach.

However, the large prey in the vicinity was basically killed, or it had already been driven away, and when the bear was hungry, it naturally hit the idea to the place where the smell of cattle and sheep was strong.

Most of the people in the manor are small children and women, and they all have a unique smell on them, and there are a large number of pickled food from the villagers randomly placed near the door of the house, which are all things that attract bears.

Lawrence only cared about using honey as bait to catch bears, ignoring that honey was just a bear snack, not a staple food!

Keharan sensed Lawrence's nervousness and comforted: "It's okay, there are more than a hundred people on the guard in the manor, as well as men and dogs, and Loshanda is also waiting for us to go back tonight, maybe the bear will be dead when we go back." ”

"Hmm." That's all Lawrence can think of.

Ever since he was attacked by Doug's son, Lawrence had divided his farm tools and weapons among his slaves and serfs, and every family had weapons to work and defend.

And there are three watchdogs in the manor, and these three dogs can detect the approach of the bear in advance.

In addition, the main force of each family went out to hunt bears tonight, adults except children were waiting for news, and there were also special people patrolling to prepare to respond, and several places in the manor were lit up by fires.

By the way, there are also crows, those crows can also detect the traces of bears in advance, these crows have a very sensitive sense of smell, but their eyes are not good at night.

There are mistakes, but there are also a lot of preparations, and a lot of advantages accumulated over a long period of time make up for occasional mistakes.

The most important thing is the existence of Loshanda, in the event of a sudden danger, a leader with experience in dealing with it is more important than anything else.

Lawrence ran for more than ten minutes before he saw the bear's shadow.

In the moonlight, a huge creature standing on two legs was standing facing the little man in the camp.

What Lawrence saw was a fat tower-like wall.

Although not as large as the Colossus of Ravenfeather, this is a living beast!

The beast quickly turned its head and looked at the approaching villain below.

Lawrence saw the face of the Earth Storm Bear, and despite the distance of more than fifty meters, the appearance of the Earth Storm Bear was still clear and shocking.

Its head is a little triangular because of the protruding mouth, which is not ridiculous, the shining quiet eyes are full of the fierce cold light that chooses people to devour, and the mouth that is slightly open and panting is also dripping with a large amount of fresh blood.

"Wang!"

The three dogs kept barking at the Earth Storm, and Lawrence quickly shouted, "Don't come near yet!" ”

Lawrence, Khallan and the rest of the group had exerted a lot of energy, and it was not a good time to go toe-to-toe with this behemoth.

Lawrence also quickly judged the general condition of the bear, who was over six meters tall, very fat, looked very strong, and definitely weighed more than six tons.

Because of the dog's barking, the Earth Storm Bear quickly looked at the man and the dog in front of him again.

Beneath it was the corpse of a Durella woman, a patrolling woman who was first spotted by the Earth Storm Bear, and then slapped to the ground and shattered her head.

Lawrence was waiting for someone to come back to help Saliel and Delen, and for himself and the warriors behind him to recover.

Loshanda didn't give Lawrence much time, and after seeing Lawrence come back, Loshanda felt even more that this was not a thing.

"Attack!"

Lawrence heard Losanda shouting and understood her plan.

Unlike wild boars, Earth Storm Bears are more aggressive, especially if they are disturbed while eating, they have absolutely no habit of tolerating.

Extreme food protection habits make them even more violent when they are disturbed when eating, and they will not run away at this time, but will kill people when they meet them.

Of course, Loshanda is not afraid of this, she only needs someone to contain the Earth Storm Bear, and this time is enough time to complete the witchcraft.

There is no problem with this plan, the only problem is that it will die.

This is an inevitable thing, just like fighting will kill people, you can try to avoid this kind of thing, but you must not avoid the battle!

"Prepare for a sneak attack from the rear!" Lawrence quickly teamed up with Los Sanda to minimize the damage.

A large number of rocks and iron axes and javelins flew out of the camp.

This time the battlefield was in the camp near the lumberyard, where there were more cattle, sheep and pigs, and the smell of people was stronger, and it was also the only way to approach the manor from the north.

Stones and sticks had fallen from the head and body of the Earth Storm Bear, and these killing things were a little too small for this behemoth.

The bear skin and heavy fat on the body made the Earth Storm bear unharmed.

It was only provoked and stimulated.

The Earth Storm Bear quickly landed on the ground, let out a roar, and rushed into the crowd.

The warriors in the crowd stabbed their two-meter-long wooden spears at the Earth Storm Bear.

The big gun that the three of them were holding together quickly pierced into the mouth of the Earth Storm Bear.

The furious giant bear bit the wooden stick, stood up and shook its head violently, and the three men holding the wooden spear were thrown away.

The men and women around him quickly roared and threw stones at the giant beast a few meters away, trying to attract the beast's attention.

The beast walked quickly, its fat and bulky hands quickly pinning a man to the ground.

Click!

The blood on the man's body was pressed out!

Like a bird and a mouse trampled to death, this giant beast is an invincible giant to all.

The Earth Storm Bear looked at the crowd, drooling heavily from its open mouth, and looked at the dwarf animals with ferocious eyes looking at food.

"Boom!"

A huge ball of fire burst from the Earthstorm's mouth, and the hairs on its face and head burst into flames as the Earthstorm Bear howled and spat out the horrific flames.

The Earth Storm Bear let out a scream quickly, clapping his hands on his face.

Just as the people around him were about to approach the giant beast that had been burned by the flames, the Earth Storm Bear lay down on the ground and began to roll because of the pain and the flames spreading from its claws.

Its body was so large that when it lay down, it rolled a little around and crushed three or four people nearby, smashing even the houses and wood.

Seeing this, Lawrence quickly shouted, "Spread out!" ”

Without Lawrence's command, after seeing the terrifying power of this Earth Storm, men, women, and children all ran quickly in the direction of the church.

Lawrence discovers that this Earth Storm Bear is extremely dangerous!

In any case, the children in the nearby house are in danger.

The giant bear wallowing on the ground quickly rubbed its burning palms and face on the ground, but fortunately, the mountain forest was humid at night, so that there were no branches, leaves, and wood on the surrounding ground.

It took two or three minutes for the Earth Storm Bear to extinguish the flames on his body, and the smell of roasted meat was now coming from his face and hands.

The giant bear, which had stopped rolling, let out a fierce roar at the crowd and rushed directly at the nearest person.

The distance of more than ten meters only required two steps to almost arrive, and the Earth Storm Bear quickly opened his hands and pressed down.

Lawrence looked at the crushed soldier and was extremely calm, "Follow me!" Can't let it keep killing! ”

Keharan and the others approached cautiously.

Saliel and Delen soon returned, and the two sides came together.

Delenn reminded again: "When the Earth Storm Bear hunts, it will crush the prey under its body, and when it encounters something that it doesn't want to eat or there is prey under its body, it will use a slap, which is more dangerous!" ”

Sariel said calmly: "I already knew! ”

Delenn quickly replaced it with a long-handled broadsword, which was the weapon of the previously slain knight Aru, which was sharper and stronger than the iron knife made by Lawrence, and was clearly not an iron weapon.

While the Earth Storm Bear was busy killing the ordinary people in the camp, Delenn rushed out, his light body turning into an accelerated blade.

In the moonlight, the silver blade emitted an elegant and beautiful arc, and slashed violently into the hind leg socket of the Earth Storm Bear!

After chopping, the Earth Storm Bear, who was about to choose a person to devour, quickly bent his injured thick leg in pain, and sat down in place at once.

Deren quickly evacuated the location of the Earth Storm, and the flames of Loshanda struck again.

The fur around the Ground Bear's ears and eyes burned again, and the intense pain caused it to lose its sense of smell and sight.

But the destructive power of this giant beast at this time is still amazing.

As Lawrence pondered how to deal with the terrifying writhing beast, Doug rushed over and barked excitedly at the nearby mountain.

Lawrence looked over and saw that it was Doug's good friend Pig.

Pig was clearly attracted by Doug's incessant screams, and after coming over to see the massive Earth Storm Bear, Pig was wary but slowly approached.

Pig, who is 1.5 meters tall and more than 2 meters long, has grown sharp fangs, and the violent instinct hidden in his genes has gradually awakened.

Soon the boar began to rub its front hooves on the ground, lowered its head and made an offensive stance,

"Let me come!"

Deren shouted, and quickly jumped onto Pig's back, holding the metal broadsword in both hands, "Pig! Rush! ”

Pig's relationship with the rest of the people is average, including Delenn.

However, at this time, Pig didn't care about the people on his back, and directly and bravely charged at the earth storm bear lying on the ground and covering his face with his hands to extinguish the fire.

The goal of one person and one pig is the same!

With his mount, Deren became even more courageous, aiming the sharp tip of his broadsword at the Earth Storm's egg bag with both hands, and holding the handle tightly with both hands.

The Earth Storm Bear, who was putting out the fire, only felt a cold under his body, then a heat, and the next moment he was like a frog kicking his legs, pushing his hands the ground, and his brain and body were transmitting a pain that was so great that his whole body was weak.

This is what happens to beasts that don't wear armor, and some organs exist only to reproduce, not to survive.
