In the northern forest, prey is relatively abundant, but the view is not good.
Finding prey is difficult.
To the south is the wilderness, the view is wide enough, but there are few strange animals.
Finding prey is not easy either.
It would be nice to have a hunting dog.
"Quack!"
The blood crow crows and jumps around in the cage.
"Well, maybe it's okay with you?"
Tang Wen came to the courtyard and opened the blood crow's cage.
The blood crow spread its wings and flew into the sky, hovered for a while, and landed back on Tang Wen's shoulder.
After a brief preparation, Tang Wen went out of the east gate and entered the forest just like last year.
The difference is that last year he was walking and now he is riding a horse.
A few minutes later, a group of scavengers armed with sticks followed him into the forest.
Although they saw the knife on Tang Wen's back.
I also understand that he may be difficult to deal with.
But what to be afraid of?
He is only one person, there are many of us!
Da da da!
The horse started to trot, and Tang Wen got rid of the dog skin plaster behind him.
But the unclear horse hoof prints on the ground still pointed the direction to the scavengers.
No one would pass through this forest on horseback for ten days and a half.
The war horse ran for an hour, and the scavengers behind it disappeared.
"I've run so far, and if those idiots still dare to chase me, they really deserve to die."
Tang Wen tied up the horse, shook his shoulders slightly, and the blood crow flew up: "Go and find where there are wild beasts."
Thrilling.
As soon as the words fell, the blood crow spread its wings and flew towards the north.
Tang Wen was wandering around.
"Chi Chi Chi Chi"
A familiar and friendly voice sounded.
A warm smile appeared at the corner of Tang Wen's mouth: "Red-billed bird."
He looked at the five red-billed finches with loving eyes, just like an old farmer looking at the harvest crops in the field.
He skillfully found a pebble and was about to take action when he raised his hand halfway, looked at the pebble, and put it down again.
Pebble, it's big and round, almost twice the size of a towhee.
If you want to smash them over, it always feels like bullying the weak.
Moreover, along the way, I don’t know why, I rarely see red-billed finches.
It would be unbearable to smash it over.
"You're lucky."
He continued to wander around the forest, looking for signs of the beast.
"Quack quack"
The blood crow flew back and found its owner exactly.
Bada.
The claws loosened.
A pine cone falls.
Tang Wen didn't pick it up, but patiently combed the blood crow's fur: "I don't want pine nuts, I want prey that can run and has meat."
As he spoke, he took out the dried meat of the exotic beast, broke it into pieces, and placed a small piece in the palm of his hand.
The blood crow pecked it, swallowed it in its belly, turned its little eyes around, and flew up to the sky with a squawk.
Tang Wen didn't see Blood Crow coming back for a while.
He simply didn't wait any longer, mounted his horse, and chased in the direction of the Blood Crow's flight.
Quack quack!
The blood crow flew back.
Hovering above Tang Wen's head, he screamed.
The art of beast control is only at the entry level.
He could only half-guess: "You mean there is something in that direction?"
Quack quack!
Crow and others talk.
Tang Wen listened hard, trying to discern the meaning through the different sizes of its calls.
But this thing is even harder than high math.
After a while, he gave up, waved for Blood Crow to fly to his shoulder, and rode away.
If you don’t understand, just go over and have a look.
In the forest, horses cannot run fast.
About half an hour later, Tang Wen saw the shadow of a building in the distance.
He was speechless for a moment: "Isn't this what you're talking about?"
"Ga"
Blood Crow screamed.
"who?"
The people on the stone wall shouted when they heard the movement.
This is a sentinel point in the camp.
Tang Wen rode closer and said, "It's me, Tang Wen."
"Tang Wen?"
"Are you Commander Tang Wen?"
Tang Wen showed his leadership badge and threw it onto the wall nearly ten meters high.
The other party caught it.
The sentinel point in front of us was built recently.
It occupies a small area, only a few hundred square meters, and its shape is a trapezoid with a wide bottom and a narrow top.
Although it is ten meters high, except for a few lookout points, there are not even a single window.
"Confirm identity, it's Commander Tang Wen. Open the door!"
There was a shout on the wall, and then the voice of Caracalla sounded.
"Do not bother."
It's a bunker-like building with a huge stone door that needs chains to hang up.
It's troublesome to open the door, but they opened it at this time to show respect.
Tang Wen tied the horse to a tree, picked up his luggage, jumped into the air with a little force, and put his toes on the city wall.
Then it landed lightly on the wall.
"What a handsome kung fu!"
There are about ten people on the city wall, a hunting team, under the control of the inner city hunting camp.
"Commander Tang Wen, your token."
Captain Tian, the leader, stood up and handed back his identity token.
They invited Tang Wen into the house and were curious about his origin.
Hearing that Tang Wen was here for hunting, Captain Tian smiled and said: "There are a lot of prey in this forest, and we occasionally go out to hunt to improve our food. But you have to be aware that this area is the territory of the Silver Wolf. And..."
Speaking of this, Captain Tian hesitated.
After a pause, he said: "Try not to hit the female beast."
It is a hunting tradition not to kill the female animal.
But Tang Wen asked: "When the drought comes, do you still care about this?"
Captain Tian spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I can't help it. The rules here are set by Silver Wolf. Even the strange beasts in the forest are not allowed to eat the female beast."
"What?"
Tang Wen was surprised.
Everyone in the hunting team explained at once that Silver Wolf likes to demonstrate and often drives prey to this area to kill.
They had met three or four times, but every time, the silver wolf would let the mother and the cubs go.
"They quite understand sustainable development." Tang Wen sighed, and then asked: "They didn't attack?"
"No, Silver Wolf is very smart. After fighting with us last winter, they stopped invading each other."
Captain Tian said sternly: "Silver wolves regard this forest as their territory, especially as the drought becomes more and more serious, their activity range is getting closer and closer to the outskirts of the forest. You must be more careful when hunting."
The most common silver wolf also has the level of a medium exotic beast.
Those who live a few more years often become higher-level exotic beasts, equivalent to human martial arts masters.
As for the Silver Wolf King, not to mention, that is a terrifying existence that can control wind, ice and snow.
The queen can't kill the other party either.
Tang Wen alone would suffer a loss against a pack of ordinary silver wolves.
"I understand. But if there is danger, how will you evacuate?"
"Don't worry, sir, we have a secret passage."
"That's good."
I replenished the purified water and didn’t stay here any longer.
Tang Wen let go of the blood crow and walked out of the sight of the sentries.
He immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp.
Are you kidding me? Why would I stay and compete with Silver Wolf for food?
Although I am a great martial artist, I have nothing to be embarrassed about.
Can't a martial artist escape?
Martial arts masters can run much faster than ordinary people!
"drive!"
The scholar of Tang Dynasty lay on his horse to avoid the branches and whipped his horse faster.
It's no better than before, and the forest is not suitable for hunting now. It's better to go to the wilderness.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of the horse, and then with a bang, it was hit by the horse and flew to a stone half a man high.
Red and white splashed everywhere.
"Silly roe deer. Any unexpected gains?"
There was a patch of tender grass on the ground, with tooth marks clearly visible on it.
The silly roe deer was grazing here just now. He was so frightened that his brains were knocked out.
Tang Wen dismounted and picked it up, smiling with satisfaction: "With this, you don't come empty-handed. So what about Silver Wolf's territory? Can it still delay my commander's hunting?"
"Ouch!"
There was a roar behind him.
Quack quack!
The blood crow flapped its wings and rushed into the sky, heading straight towards the camp.
Silver wolf!
Tang Wen's expression changed, and without caring about anything else, he turned over and rode, hitting the horse and running wildly!
This is not fear, just avoiding a pointless fight.
