Chapter Ninety-Three: Hunting Brute Beasts
"Be careful of the realm, there are hammerhead pigs nearby!" Wu Long stood up after lying on the ground and checking the footprints, and yelled at the people behind him.
"The scouts have drawn the hammerhead pigs over, and the rest are ready to fight. Wu Long said to the wolf fang who was riding on the horse, and the wolf tooth nodded, and slapped the horse away, revealing two snow-white bone scimitars behind his back, and the rest of the soldiers began to prepare for battle.
Hearing the heavy footsteps getting closer and closer, everyone's faces gradually became solemn, although it was not the first time they hunted brute beasts, but every hunt was an adventure, no one knew what accidents would be, even if the brute beasts that fell to the ground and struggled unconsciously shook their heads and tails, it could lead to casualties.
When he saw two hammer-headed pigs with red eyes rushing towards them, Wu Long waved his hand, and the soldiers below who were already familiar with all this immediately prepared.
There is no queue, they are in a team of three or five, holding special javelins and scattering, making it difficult for Hammerhead Pig to lock on to the target, whenever Hammerhead Pig rushes towards a team, the nearby team immediately uses the javelin in their hands to use the standard chrysanthemum stunt to attract the attention of the other party, so that the targeted companion can get rid of the pursuit.
These people are all veterans, and they can throw heavy javelins at a distance of nearly 100 meters while penetrating heavy armor, not to mention that the position they aim at is so delicate, even if this hammerhead pig has practiced the outer door horizontal kung fu, it can't practice the large intestine, and the hammerhead pig that will be held open by the javelin will fall to the ground weakly.
Chrysanthemum remnants are not fatal injuries, but these javelins are hollow, filled with special anesthetics, and after injecting chrysanthemums, they are absorbed by the intestines of brute beasts with strong absorption ability, and the natural effect is full.
The vitality of the brute beast is extremely tenacious, especially the hammerhead pig, even if it falls to the ground, no one dares to be careless, after all, there are not too many rookies who die of carelessness every year, and the brute beast will never be careless in the face of the brute beast who can survive, unless the head of the brute is cut off, otherwise even if the heart is pierced, simply relying on the contraction of the arteries can make these tenacious brute beasts continue to struggle for half an hour, causing a large number of casualties.
Throw the rope far away, and use the brute beast tendon rope mixed with copper wire to firmly tie the hammerhead pig to the ground, and then the most experienced soldier takes a special armor-piercing cone to the place where the back of the hammerhead is connected to the spine, and smashes it hard, and the strong man with the war hammer behind him then smashes it on the armor-piercing cone, completely destroying the link of this part of the spine and paralyzing the hammerhead pig, even if its vitality is useless.
By this time, the hammerhead pig was no longer a threat, and the warlocks, who had been protected by the soldiers, went forward to bleed with bags of animal skins, which were filled with anti-blood clotting agents that could be disposed of when they returned.
After a brief process, Wulong sent a team to transport the hammerhead pig's carcass back to the village for further processing, and notified the merchants to come.
The rest of the people need to continue their search for their targets, but this time they are clearly unlucky, and they encounter the Scythe Wolves.
The sickle wolf is a relatively common brute beast, the sickle wolf in a group activity has high requirements for territorial food, and rarely goes down the mountain to find those unpalatable livestock and humans, only the same brute beast can meet their needs, so they are rarely seen under the mountain, only those lone wolves who are injured and disabled or driven out of the wolf pack by old age and infirmity will gradually lose the ability to prey down the mountain, the threat is not great, and soon they will be skinned and dismantled by the tiger army that heard the news and turned into wealth.
This time they were unlucky, and they encountered a few adult sickle wolves, not the old, weak, sick and disabled, which was a problem.
Although the hammerhead has the upper hand in size, they would rather encounter a pack of hammerhead pigs than a sickle wolf, as the adult sickle wolf can run faster than the best warhorses, and has the stamina to escape, once hunted down, the possibility of escaping is very small.
Moreover, the scythe wolf has an amazing jumping ability, and the way they hunt large brutes is to jump onto the opponent's back, and then use their sickle-like fangs to create terrifying wounds to bleed their prey.
At the same time, the sickle wolf is very flexible and cooperates tacitly, which leads to the ineffectiveness of the standard chrysanthemum tactics at all, and in order to penetrate the thick fur of the sickle wolf, and also for the hit rate, they must pull the distance to a very dangerous level, for the sickle wolf who is good at breaking out, it is only a jump distance, and it is difficult to avoid casualties.
"Be careful, don't make a noise, they've hunted enough food to quietly retreat. Wu Long frowned, staring at the five sickle wolves who were dismantling a hammer-headed pig with their sickle-like fangs.
This newly grown hammerhead pig is enough for the five sickle wolves to eat for two days, as long as they don't provoke them, it's fine, after all, brute beasts are beasts, they won't kill each other because they don't like their eyes, and if they are full, even if a rabbit rolls around in their mouths, they can't open their mouths.
However, this time Wu Long didn't have much hope for his previous experience, and sure enough, the sickle wolf, who was supposed to watch them leave and continue to eat, began to redden his eyes after smelling the scent of humans, and without hesitation, the meat that had been thrown into his mouth rushed towards them, which was completely unreasonable.
"Damn, I fucking knew there was a problem!" Wu Long pulled out the blade at his waist and scolded viciously.
Although he is just a small person at the bottom, he is also keenly aware that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind the huge change of the brute beast, but even if he knows that there is a conspiracy, as long as he is still eating this bowl of rice, he has to rush to the front as cannon fodder.
In the face of the sickle wolf, the javelinmen who had just made a meritorious service did not rush ahead, but obediently stayed behind a group of soldiers with nets on their backs, and at the same time, several worshippers also moved their hands and feet, jumped out of the carriage and joined forces to block the three-headed sickle wolf.
This is already their limit, after all, their strength is not very high, and being brought by Hu Tiejian is just a number, but even this greatly reduces the pressure on the soldiers.
Yan Xu and Hu Tiejian didn't make a move, any of them could solve this crisis, but after all, they were not members of the Tiger Army, and they couldn't protect them for a while, instead of solving this crisis as easily as heroes, it was better to let Wulong and them adapt as soon as possible under the care of the two of them, at least the casualties between the two of them would not be too great.
Wu Long was not distracted to ask Yan Xu and Hu Tiejian why they didn't make a move, but stood beside the soldiers to stabilize the soldiers' emotions, boost their morale, and make them not make mistakes because of panic.
Wu Long knew very well in his heart that whether it was those worshippers or Yan Xu and Hu Tiejian, they were all leaving, and now that there were masters in charge, if they couldn't adapt as soon as possible, their fate would definitely not be good.
