Chapter 53: Breaking the Question
Turning over and jumping into the cave, Fengyun walked towards a large rock and pushed it towards the entrance of the cave, finding that it was larger than the entrance of the cave, just enough to block the entrance.
Fengyun immediately realized that this boulder had been specially mined in the cave by Storm and used by him to block the door.
"I didn't expect that Tyranny's mind was so delicate, and even thought of such a trivial matter. ”
Fengyun couldn't help but shake his head, and a trace of emotion appeared in his heart.
The storm on weekdays seems a little rough, but I never thought there was such a delicate side.
With a place to stay, Fengyun jumped out of the cave and began to survey his surroundings.
Not far from the cave, there is a stream of water flowing down from the rock crevice, which is very clear, although the current is not large, but it is enough.
No suspicious animal footprints and feces were found, and there should not be many brute beasts inhabiting the vicinity, so safety can be guaranteed.
Looking up at the sky, the sun had already begun to sink, and Fengyun decided to give up hunting the bamboo-eating beast.
I picked some relatively large leaves, spread them at the bottom of the cave, and put some things that I didn't need for a while in the cave.
With the bow on his back, a dozen arrows in the quiver sewn from the gopher skin, and holding the spear, Fengyun once again jumped out of the cave and walked towards the bamboo forest not far away.
He was going to hunt something for dinner.
After walking for about five hundred zhang, Fengyun's eyes suddenly lit up and stopped.
After thinking about it, he picked up two stones from the ground and put them in a leather bag.
He continued on his way, but noticeably lighter.
After walking about ten feet, he stopped, laid his spear gently on the ground, took off his bow, took the arrow out of his quiver, and stuck it in the ground in front of him.
He took the stone out of the bag, shook it in his hand, shook his hand, and threw it forward.
Syllable!
The stone hit a bamboo tree with a crunching sound, and the sound was loud and traveled far away.
In the next moment, like a fryer, a large gray shadow suddenly appeared not far from the bamboo that had been hit by the stone, and it flew in all directions.
Buzzing......
With the rapid sound of bowstring cracking, arrows streaked across the sky in a faint trajectory, shooting towards the flying gray shadows.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all the arrows on the ground in front of Fengyun were shot by him.
The gray shadow that had been shot fell to the ground with a whirlpool.
With the bow on his back and his spear on his back, Fengyun walked over and picked up the prey one by one.
They are a kind of gray bird with a gray body and a green tuft of long hair on the top of the head, not too big or small, each of which is five or six pounds.
Having picked up all the prey, Fengyun smiled with satisfaction.
He was happy not only because he had a good dinner, but also because his archery skills were indeed quite high.
All the birds he shot were shot in the eye, and they were exactly the same.
Every arrow he shot not only avoided the numerous bamboos, but also achieved such a high degree of accuracy, which was indeed not easy.
You know, he didn't use the Snake God's Vision this time, relying on his true skills.
Removing the hair and internal organs, Fengyun took the same method as he did for the bamboo-eating beasts, and the bird meat was put into a bamboo tube and fired.
But he didn't do it all, he only made half of it, and he baked the rest for tomorrow's breakfast.
Pushing the boulder, sealing the hole entrance, Fengyun lay down on the leaves, and soon fell asleep.
As soon as the light of day dawned the next day, Fengyun pulled open the boulder, jumped out of the cave, washed up with the mountain spring water, heated the roast bird, ate it, and prepared to hunt the bamboo-eating beast.
He strode into the depths of the bamboo forest, but he didn't take a few steps before he stopped again.
He turned and walked back, but instead of returning to the cave, he climbed to the top of the mountain.
The mountain is not very high, less than 200 zhang, but it is still much higher than the surrounding bamboo forests and woods.
Condescendingly, he put his hand on the pergola, urged the eye of the snake god, and looked around.
Fengyun found that the area of the bamboo forest was larger than he had imagined, and with his current strong eyesight, he didn't even see the edge of it.
Looking at the past, the eyes are full of endless greenery, the wind blows, rising and falling, like a sea of green.
He turned his head to look in the direction where Storm had taken him and Thunder, and this time he saw the border, but what really caught his attention was a forest on the left that bordered the bamboo forest.
I don't know what kind of bizarre variety it is, but the leaves are all red and very bright.
At first glance, he thought the trees were burning.
Turning his gaze back, he turned around and went down the mountain, picking up a vine along the way.
Back down the mountain, he jumped into the cave and tied the boulder with vines.
When people come out of the cave, they drag the vines and pull the boulders out to block the entrance to the cave so that other creatures can avoid getting in.
Clapping his hands, Fengyun walked into the bamboo forest, and his footsteps were very light.
As you walk forward, listen intently.
Having had the experience of successfully hunting bamboo eaters yesterday, he had discovered that his ears were more useful than his eyes to spot them.
They have similarities and differences with gophers.
The similarity is that they both like to burrow and dig vertical and horizontal underground tunnels, but the difference is that bamboo eaters rarely come to the surface, and it is not feasible to wait for them to show their heads before hunting them.
Although they feed on bamboo, they don't need to be on the ground at all.
They will bite off the roots of the bamboo, and then drag the bamboo from the ground to the ground to eat, and it is difficult to find their whereabouts.
But just because it's hard doesn't mean it's impossible.
Fengyun found a way to catch them.
They show flaws when they drag the bamboo to the ground, and they make a sound when they eat it.
Relying on these, you can lock down their whereabouts.
However, in order to do this, it requires a strong sense of observation, and there are too many bamboos, and it is difficult to find which one is abnormal.
The sound of the bamboo-eating beast eating bamboo is similar to the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves, and the sound is much attenuated when it reaches the ground through the soil, so it takes a lot of ear power to identify it.
Digging through the ground with bamboo, Fengyun lifted the spear, and the bamboo-eating beast on it was dead, and the hunt was successful, but Fengyun did not show a trace of joy, on the contrary, he frowned.
He really couldn't be happier.
In order to hunt this bamboo-eating beast, he actually spent almost a morning.
At this rate, he could only hunt about two in a day, and only fourteen in seven days.
The task given to him by the storm was to hunt 200 bamboo-eating beasts in seven days, and the number of bamboo-eating beasts killed in one day should reach nearly thirty, which is too much difference.
This undoubtedly dealt a big blow to Fengyun.
He had thought that he had found a way to discover the whereabouts of the Bamboo Eater, and that it should not be too difficult to complete the task.
But the harsh reality told him that he had no chance of completing the task.
"Could it be that the tyrant is deliberately embarrassing himself, deliberately setting his goals very high, making it impossible for him to complete the task? No, no. ”
Fengyun shook his head to deny this possibility.
Although the assessment of violence is very strict, it will not give a chance.
It is possible to pass the assessment, but you must work hard enough and find the most effective method.
"Method? Yes, the key to solving the problem should be to find the right method. ”
Fengyun's spirits were lifted suddenly, and he realized that he had found a direction.
If he could find a more efficient way to find the trails of the bamboo-eating beast, he would still be able to complete the task on time.
"But how?"
The energy that had just come up was discarded again, and Fengyun really couldn't think of any better way.
Mentally sluggish, and the body can't lift up, Fengyun let the body lean on the bamboo, and the back of the head is also pressed on the bamboo, using his brain to figure out a way.
I thought about it for an hour, but I still didn't get anything.
He decided to do some research first to see if he could find any useful information that would inspire him.
He reached out and grabbed a piece of bamboo, and was about to stand up straight.
His body had not yet stood up straight, but his expression changed suddenly, and he immediately put his ear to the bamboo he had just leaned on, listening carefully.
After a while, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"It turns out that the key to solving the puzzle is here. ”
Fengyun jerked up straight, grabbed the spear beside him, and threw it.
The spear pierced several bamboos and plunged deep into the ground.
Fengyun ran over and dug around the spear.
Soon, the entire spear was revealed, and there was nothing on it.
A hint of gloom appeared on Fengyun's face, but he still didn't give up and expanded the excavation area.
When the size of the pit was expanded to the size of two houses, a new discovery was finally made.
An underground tunnel was dug for the bamboo-eating beast, but it was more than two feet away from the spear.
"I see!"
The gloom on Fengyun's face was swept away, revealing a bright smile.
His judgment was right, but the spear thrown out had a relatively large deviation and failed to hit the target.
Retrieving the spear, Fengyun slashed a bamboo with the thick mouth of a teacup, cutting off a section that was slightly longer than his body.
He first opened all the joints inside the bamboo to form a bamboo tube, and finally sharpened one end.
After walking some distance forward, inserting one end of the tip of the bamboo tube into the ground, then pressing your ear to the other end of the exposed ground and listening carefully.
After listening for a while, he would stand up, grab his spear and throw it.
There were exceptions, three or four times out of ten, and instead of throwing a spear, he pulled out the bamboo tube, inserted it in a different place, and continued to listen.
It's just that his efforts are basically in vain, and the spear is thrown again and again, but it is all useless, and there is no gain at all.
However, this changed after he threw his spear for the first time.
After Fengyun dug through the dirt around the spear, a bamboo-eating beast was impaled through the head by the spear and died.
"Whew!"
Fengyun let out a long breath of turbidity, and the whole person relaxed.
Not only did he find a way to quickly lock on to the tracks of the bamboo-eating beasts, but he also had the ability to hunt them, and the assessment of the storm was no longer difficult for him.
