Kumanaka was thinking wildly as he walked along the potholed pavement step by step.

After the snow melted, the ground didn't become very muddy, but it was a little soft to step on, just a little thankful for a little wet.

Some small mushrooms may have been affected by this moist environment and have emerged from the roots of large trees. He could also tell which ones were edible, which were poisonous, and which ones could be medicated.

In terms of eating, his teacher taught him a lot.

After a safe journey, there was not a single animal in the whole forest, only a few small birds landed on the trees, occasionally flapping their wings, indicating that they were not statues or corpses.

I don't know where the animals are hidden.

Just when he was a little confused, the sound of a fight attracted his attention.

The voice sounded like it was coming from a short distance away, and Kumanaka narrowed his eyes warily, trying to look in all directions.

Squinting your eyes allows you to focus your gaze and improve your concentration, although there is no scientific basis for this, but Xiong Zhong did it anyway.

But the layers of trees affect his vision, and when the farthest effective line of sight is actually only three meters, no one can expect how much information the eye can gather for you.

The bear's first reaction to the sound of a fight is to see the excitement – it's actually from humans, or rather primate instincts.

Because primates are extremely emotional, they have an extremely strong curiosity about the unknown.

But this urge to watch the excitement immediately cooled down after turning it around in the brain.

His second reaction was to stay away from the scene of the fight, because the intellect from human society restrained this instinct and told him that it would definitely do more harm than good to see the excitement in this situation now.

There are no guards, no carriages, and if you encounter any danger, you will most likely get yourself in.

Xiong Zhong tried to find the direction from which the sound came from, away from the place where the sound came from.

However, this world is not an idealistic world, and it is impossible for human will to affect this world at all - the sound of fighting is rapidly approaching, and finally, only a "bang" is heard, and a person flies from the depths of the fog.

It was a man dressed in a soldier's suit, and Xiong Zhong could recognize it, this was a disciple of the public loser, and he had come out with him to collect building materials.

It seems that he was attacked by someone or something when it was convenient to leave the team, and now he is covered in injuries and his armor has become tattered.

Seeing this, Xiong Zhong instinctively wanted to go up to the rescue, but a strange low roar made him nervously hide to the side.

The situation is still unclear at the moment, and you can't act rashly!

His eyes were fixed on the soldier, and his hands kept moving, taking some parts from his bag and pocket, and expertly assembling them into a crossbow.

This is a semi-automatic repeating bow crossbow jointly developed by the Gong Loss Class and Ouyang (actually Dai Ochis), which can shoot continuously without the need to wind and reload, which is very convenient. Extremely useful for encounters, ambushes with a handful of enemies one-to-many, and each of them comes out this time with a handful.

Using his hands and feet together, he crept up a very lush and tall pine tree, and Xiongzhong carefully watched the situation there, and took out a sachet.

The sachet contains ginger powder, star anise, fennel and peppercorns, which have a complex flavor and are certainly not intended for cooking, this complex spice prevents wild beasts with a keen sense of smell from detecting the scent of people and thus avoid exposing themselves, and peppercorns also prevent double-edged tentacle zombies.

That is, at the moment when he had just hid, three more figures appeared on the other side of the bush - they were three wolves and not wolves, dogs and not dogs.

They have the body shape and skeletal structure of canines, and their skulls are extremely similar to those of canines, but their mouths burst out with a large number of hideous and sharp teeth, which are uneven and look unusually penetrating.

Their tails have become longer, and instead of having a "broom tail" with broad fur like other canids, they have a stout whip tail similar to that of cats, and the tail hair is not broad.

In the bear's field of vision, the end of the tail appears to be some kind of calcareous white object, which looks slightly hard.

These appear to be "mutant wolves" mutated from timberwolves, and their eyes glint with bloodthirsty longing.

Their eyes were long gone, and they were baring their teeth and drooling, staring at the soldier who had fallen to the ground and got up.

And the latter, after standing up, also carefully took out the semi-automatic repeating bow and crossbow on his waist.

In addition to the housekeeping skills of the public loss class, the carpentry mechanism, they also have to learn geography, biology, botany, astronomy, astronomical astronomy, agriculture and forestry, water conservancy, swordsmanship, equestrianism, archery, multiplication, and fighting, and then they can learn how to govern the country with the public loss class.

Of course, the above proper nouns are sorted and classified by Ouyang Friendship, so that everyone can see more clearly and know what they are learning.

Under the influence of this culture, this soldier can also be regarded as a "battle-hardened" soldier, although he was caught off guard and suffered a lot of injuries, but his movements did not panic, and he did not quickly draw his bow and crossbow to shoot because he was facing a big enemy in front of him.

Because he knows that when dealing with animals, the violent movements of any part of the body may attract a crazy counterattack from the opponent at the first time.

He also did not dare to shout loudly and call out to his companions.

Sometimes a roar can scare the beasts away, but other times, the roar may be a roar and a signal for some beasts to attack.

He didn't dare to stimulate the other party, and he didn't dare to gamble.

Therefore, the soldier's eyes stared at the three "mutant wolves", his eyes did not dare to show the slightest slackness, his hand moved to his waist unusually slowly, gently unbuttoned his bag, slowly took out the bow and crossbow, and installed the box, "click" on the wind, raised his arm, and slowly aimed the arrow at one of the "mutant wolves".

And at the moment when the "mutant wolf" faced the silver arrow, the instinct from the beast made them suddenly alert to the fact that the silver thing in front of them would bring a threat to their lives.

So, they followed their instincts and launched a fierce attack.

"Woooo

"Whew!"

The sound of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air almost overlapped with the sound of the "mutant wolf" that had been killed.

Among the three "mutant wolves", one fell to the ground with an arrow in the neck, and the other two jumped over a distance of two meters and pounced directly on the soldier.

One crossbow shot seemed to fly straight out, while the other plunged into the thigh of one of the "mutant wolves".

Just as Xiong Zhong was about to shoot with a crossbow and make up for two shots to save the soldier, he suddenly saw that the "mutant wolf" who had fallen to the ground actually got up again.

The crossbow arrow that was fired into its neck had already submerged into the feathers, but it was pushed out by a white liquid, and then this white liquid plugged the wound of the "mutant wolf".

"Roaring ——!"

"Bang!"

"Whew!"

Before the bear could be surprised, a sudden mutation occurred!

I saw a black shadow like a black whirlwind flash, knocking the "mutant wolf" that had just gotten up into two.

Is that...... What is it?!

It wasn't until the shadow stopped that Xiongzhong saw what it was—

A wild boar with a fanged face!

Yes, fangs on the face!

Its teeth grew frantically out of its cheeks, and it looked like it had a mask of teeth growing out of its face.

The "mask" reveals only two very small holes, which appear to be the small eyes of a wild boar, and one of the most obvious signs of a pig, a flat pink nose.

The outside of the pig's nose is also protected by long fangs protruding from the impact of the nose.

Not only on its face, but also on its body, there are some spots of white, arranged one by one, which seem to be bone armor formed by some kind of bone matter.

It is extremely large, almost comparable to a domestic pig, and when it runs, it looks like a big bear on all fours!

Being hit by it like this, the "mutant wolf" that struggled to get up was completely dead, and the red blood flowed all over the ground.

"Roar!"

The "tooth-faced boar" cracked open his tooth mask and roared at the two "mutant wolves".

Its mouth was very open, reaching the trachea and esophagus, and it looked like the big mouth of a crocodile, or the big mouth of an anglerfish.

The inside of its mouth is also covered with dense teeth, and it looks very oozing.

"Woooooo

The two "mutant wolves" turned their heads when they heard the voice, as if they were a little afraid of the "tooth-faced boar" in front of them, and did not pounce directly to avenge their companions, but let out a low whimper, and their four legs were slowly retreating.

"Roaring ——!"

The "tooth-faced boar" was not afraid, its two small eyes rolled a little, as if it had chosen a target, and then sprang out.

Another black whirlwind flashed.

"Woo!"

The two "mutant wolves" whimpered twice, and immediately ran separately from one left and one right.

Canines have about 530 million cortical neurons, and from a physiological point of view, wolves are indeed cunning and intelligent, and immediately thought of ways to deal with the "tooth-faced wild boar".

"Bang!"

The body of one of the "mutant wolves" snapped in response, and before it could even scream, it directly turned into two, splashing red blood.

The "tooth-faced boar" stopped, and then looked at another "mutant wolf".

The mutant wolf's leg was shot by the soldier's crossbow, and the arrow went directly through its thigh, and the arrow feathers almost sank into the leg, but it may have felt the threat of life, and it did not affect its movement speed at all, and it ran fast, and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye.

The vitality and resistance of the "mutant wolf" are far beyond Xiongzhong's imagination, and he is no longer the fragile canine he has seen before.

The "tooth-faced boar" looked around with its small eyes, observed for a while, and then paced over to the soldier and sniffed, followed by the muffled grunt of biting, the dying struggle of man, the "whining" of the "mutant wolf", and the feeble attack of the last two crossbow arrows.

"Dingding!"

The arrow hit the mane of the "tooth-faced boar" like a steel needle, and it couldn't even break the most basic defense.

How strong is the "mutant wolf"?

Even if it was an injury that pierced the throat, even if it was an arrow that sank into the thigh muscle, this kind of attack and injury that was enough to kill and disable could not affect the physiology of the "mutant wolf".

And what about the "tooth-faced wild boar"?

In the face of such a "mutant wolf", he actually used the most direct, simplest, and most brutal way to turn the "mutant wolf" into two corpses.

This kind of terrifying combat power is not at all something that a semi-automatic repeating bow and crossbow can kill, and the soldier just now can't break his defense by firing two shots at such a close distance, and most of them can't do it himself.

This made Xiongzhong, who had just come up with the idea of going up to help, stop moving forward - the "mutant wolf" could still use a bow and crossbow to maneuver, but with this kind of physical strength of the "tooth-faced wild boar", Xiong Zhong asked himself that he had no chance of winning, and he would be sent to death if he went up.

Therefore, for the first time in his life, he witnessed the whole process of a living being eaten by animals.

The previous zombies were all over after two bites, just to infect the parasite bacteria, that is, symbolically a few more tooth marks, at most it was just to pull off the arms and legs or something.

But this "tooth-faced wild boar" actually ate the whole person hard, except for the clothes that could not be digested, even the bones were crushed by his "bone hyperplasia" general big teeth.

It's disgusting......

The soldier only held out for a moment under the gnawing of the "tooth-faced boar", and then there was the sound of tooth-aching flesh being torn by teeth.

It was a sound similar to "snort", very similar to the sound of a human tearing through a rag, but with a slightly more "sticky" smell than that sound.

After this sound, it is the sound of pigs and dogs eating - "chirp" and "chirp".

Xiong Zhong had raised dogs in the hunting grounds of the king of Chu before, and had also seen domestic pigs raised, so he was no stranger to this sound.

He even likes to watch pigs and dogs eat. Because he has a slight anorexia, he always has a cheerful feeling when he sees pigs and dogs eating so deliciously.

But at this moment, this voice came out, but it made him feel sick to his stomach.

He hid in the branches of the tree and did not dare to come out, he did not know how sensitive the wild boar's hearing was, but he knew that the wild boar's eyesight was extremely poor, so correspondingly, the sense of hearing and smell would definitely increase, so even the sound of breathing was pressed to the minimum.

However, Xiongzhong still underestimated the sensitivity of the beast.

After eating and drinking, the "tooth-faced boar" turned his head to look at the pine tree where he was hiding, and was so frightened that Xiong Zhong clenched the bow and crossbow in his hand.

It turned out that it had known about the existence of the bear for a long time.
