Chapter 47: Losing Both Sides (1)

Move the clock forward by half an hour.

A pheasant leisurely pecks at pine nuts on the ground, and the autumn food is so abundant that its body fat content has risen by a few percent, and this fat will help it survive the long harsh winter.

It had a good plan, but unfortunately disaster fell from the sky, and after a soft whistle, the somewhat cute pheasant was killed by an arrow fired from a distance before he could react to what had happened.

Cheng Kun maintained the posture of opening the bow, the bowstring was still vibrating, and he was the one who shot the arrow. Ling Zhen, who was standing beside him, ignored this scene and didn't blink his eyelids.

Since he and Cheng Kun were divided into a group, Cheng Kun had shot more than 20 prey in front of him in just one day, and he wanted to take the opportunity to hone his archery skills, and by the way, he also solved the food source of several people.

Although there were a lot of these prey, they were not wasted, and in the end they all ended up in the stomachs of the five people.

The amount of food of people who practice martial arts is generally much larger than that of normal people, especially most of the masters in the army practice martial arts related to physical fitness, and the amount of food is also rising slowly while the body is strong, and how to find a way to feed the pot-bellied men under his hands in the military camp has always been one of the headaches for the commanders.

This is also normal, in the words of the popular online novels in later generations, Cheng Kun and the others are still only in the acquired realm.

As the saying goes, "the meat eaters are brave and fierce, the grain eaters are wise and skillful, the gas eaters are gods and longevity, and the non-eaters are immortal and gods", they can only do the first two points at best, only the grandmaster can be regarded as touching the side of the gods and longevity, as for the immortal gods, then they can only be heard as myths.

In addition to Cheng Kun and Ling Zhen, there are three of the five people in this group, Captain Qiao Feng, Junhou Chen Li, and Jun Sima Luoyu.

Qiao Feng's official position and martial arts are the highest, so he became the team leader deservedly. He had been the commander of a scout camp and was no stranger to tracking this kind of work.

In fact, after almost two days of sleepless tracking, he felt that he had vaguely grasped Dai Yue'er's tail.

It's just that he took the other four people along the way to follow the clues he found, and before he knew it, he was far away from the others. Although they left marks along the way to ensure that the rest of the people could find them, it was still a bit dangerous if something unexpected happened.

That's why Qiao Feng stopped, and at the same time, it was convenient for the people behind him to catch up as soon as possible.

Cheng Kun then shot two more pheasants, and the arrows he shot were all taken back, and he didn't have many arrows but only twenty, so it was better to save some money. After the hair and internal organs were cleaned, Cheng Kun wrapped two smooth pheasants in mud and roasted them over a fire.

The dish called flower chicken has been used in the novel, but I have to admit that it is very convenient in the wild and tastes really good.

After the meat was cooked, Cheng Kun extinguished the fire and cracked open the somewhat hard mud shell that had been baked, and the aroma of chicken suddenly spread.

Although Ling Zhen had already tasted this dish before, he was still very interested in this novel method.

At this time, people basically cook by cooking, and there are very few spices, so most of the dishes have no taste, although these few called flower chickens have not put any seasoning, but they have been accustomed to this light few people or quickly ate it up.

After eating, the group began to follow again.

But it didn't take long for a few people to realize that something was wrong, and all the animals in the mountains and forests didn't know why they all ran out of their nests and ran in the same direction as if they were running away from something.

This scene is quite spectacular, all beasts are running together, carnivores and herbivores are mixed, Cheng Kun watched a leopard and a few deer next to each other, in the past, these two completely different animals would have to come out of the dog's brain when they met, but now they don't care about these at all.

From time to time, there are animals that fall behind halfway, these animals are all inexplicably in the process of running suddenly fall to the ground, the body trembles and then the feces and urine flow, and finally they are scared to death, these scared animals are basically herbivores.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon.

It is impossible for such a thing to happen that violates the nature of animals without a reason.

Several people all felt the same way, so the five of them "went upstream" and approached in opposite directions to investigate.

Cheng Kun, who had the sharpest intuition, was the first to feel something strange, the further he went, the faster his heart was beating, and an inexplicable fear arose, and his subconscious was warning him of the danger ahead, and it was best not to approach.

He said his feelings, Qiao Feng didn't say anything, just walked in the front silently, and the five of them quietly formed a small plum blossom array, alert to the dangers that might arise around them at any time.

The animals fleeing for their lives continued, and in order not to be hit by these crazy animals, several people all rose and fell to the trees, and walked between the trees in a vertical leap. This was a helpless move, but I didn't expect this speed to be a little faster than before.

Suddenly, an angry roar came from a distance, and the animals fleeing under the tree became chaotic after hearing it, Cheng Kun could easily see the frightened look in their eyes, it seemed that it was the owner of the roar who caused these strange things.

Although the volume of the roar was already very small when it reached Cheng Kun's ears, he could still hear the power contained in it, and he immediately thought of the most prestigious beast in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range.

Thinking of this, his palms were slightly sweaty, General Peng had already warned everyone, it was best not to provoke the overlords of these mountains, no matter what kind of beasts they were, they were not something that the people of the Dingshan Army could deal with.

If it is really a strange beast, then it should not roar and scare other animals for no reason, and nine times out of ten it has encountered a strong enemy. The opponent may be another strange beast, or it may be ...... Dai Yue'er.

As the distance narrowed, the roar became clearer and clearer, Cheng Kun glanced at the other people, and found that they were all pursing their lips tightly, and their qi was full of energy, as if they were facing a great enemy.

They should have thought of this as well, chasing them all the way, Qiao Feng was already basically sure that this Hun Holy Maiden was going to cross from the depths of Broken Dragon Mountain to the Huns, so the possibility of the other party encountering a strange beast was actually very high.

If it was really Dai Yue'er who was fighting with the alien beasts, a few people would die of laughter, and with the entanglement of the alien beasts, it would be difficult for her to get rid of a few more people.

Qiao Feng had already decided that if he found Dai Yue'er, he would retreat first and then send a signal to gather the other scattered groups, under the shroud of the net, unless Dai Yue'er grew a pair of wings, she would die.

Just as they were about to reach the point where the sound came from, the beast's roar, which had become like thunder, suddenly stopped.

Things changed, and several people looked at each other, and then invariably picked up speed again. Cheng Kun's floating light glimpse was already quite proficient, and under the full force of his exertion, his body seemed to turn into a streamer, and his speed suddenly exceeded the four of them by a large amount, and he ran to the front.

It's a pity that it's still a step too slow.

When Cheng Kun rushed to the place where Dai Yue'er fought with Shanzhen, he didn't find the imaginary beast and the Hun saintess, but only saw a mess. More than a dozen towering trees were broken by the barrage, the dense and luxuriant root system was also torn out, and shallow pits of different sizes were scattered on the ground. An ant's nest is also exposed, and angry soldier ants pour out, their tentacles probing the pheromones remaining in the air, trying to find the culprit who destroyed their home.

Cheng Kun didn't care about these details, his eyesight was amazing, he saw the blood stains on the ground at a glance, he squatted down and twisted it with his fingers, making sure that the blood had not completely coagulated, and the person who left these blood stains should not have been gone for too long.
