[Beast Control, Introduction (711→719/1000)]
"quack!"
The blood raven spread its black wings and hovered in the sky.
Tang Wen asked in an uncertain tone: "You mean, there are two prey?"
"Gah!"
Yelling should mean confirmation, right?
He guessed and asked a few more questions, and Blood Crow responded.
It should be stable.
Tang Wen was very pleased to be able to communicate smoothly with Blood Crow.
I specially brought out food made of minced animal meat mixed with animal blood and corn.
It's a meatball the size of a Malice, medium rare, bloody, and absolutely tender.
After eating, the blood crow flew even more happily.
It's very fun in the air.
It flew towards the barren hills.
The hooves of horses and deer crushed the dehydrated and weathered stones on the ground, and the south wind blew up the sand and gravel.
As soon as we arrived at the foot of the barren hill, a faint roar could be heard.
"This movement?"
Tang Wen left the horse and deer where they were and quietly took out his telescope to observe.
Not far from the barren hills is a dead river.
By the river, dozens of strange beasts were catching and killing each other, roaring loudly and making sand and rocks fly.
On one side are sand lizards and on the other are black hyenas.
At a rough count, there are more than thirty heads.
Tang Wen looked at the sky speechlessly: "Are these the two preys you mentioned?"
"Quack, quack", the blood crow cried out firmly, raising its head as if it was right.
The sand lizard is a gray lizard with a body length of two meters. The black hyena is three times larger than the giant dog in the previous life.
The former is slow and powerful.
The latter is agile enough and does high damage.
They are both medium-sized beasts, but when they fight, they are equally matched.
Rivers dried up, plants died, and herbivores were hard to find.
Tang Wen understood the reason for the fight between the two sides. With the advent of drought, the wilderness was most severely affected, and the strange beasts were also unable to eat enough.
They were probably fighting for territory and water.
But while he was sighing, he felt strange in his heart.
Since the water source is so tight, the alien beasts are not ordinary beasts without intelligence.
Seeing that the population is about to be greatly reduced, why don't they go to the lake to hunt and survive?
Although the water level of the Great Lake is declining rapidly, the water source is still countless times more than here in the wilderness.
Speaking of which, the terrain around the camp is interesting.
Covering lakes, forests, mountains, wilderness, swamps and other terrains.
From north to south, the temperature difference is very obvious.
In terms of terrain, the altitudes in the east, west, north, and south fluctuate with almost no rules.
Mountains on Earth include snow-capped mountains at the top, and permafrost, grasslands, cold-resistant forests, and lakes below depending on the altitude.
The different landforms around the camp should also be caused by the altitude.
Ouch~
The wolf howls vaguely.
Tang Wen looked from a distance and couldn't see anything.
The drought has arrived, and the ice cellar at home is far from full.
He was sure to eat the following group of medium-sized exotic beasts.
Not even if the sand wolf comes.
As soon as the idea came up, a wolf howled in the distance.
Ouch!
The howl of the wolf gradually became clearer.
The two sides fighting by the river stagnated for a moment, and then pounced on their opponents with more violence.
After all, the wisdom of the alien beast is limited. At this time, it is red-eyed. What it wants is not to stop the loss in time, but to win quickly.
Stupid choice.
Tang Wen waited no longer, gathered his momentum, stood on tiptoes, bent his waist, and floated downward like a shadow.
Some sand lizards and black hyenas noticed his presence.
But when the fight is so indistinguishable, no one can care about a human being.
Tang Wen came to the south bank of the river and stood on the east side, about four to five hundred meters away from the fighting parties.
Wow, he opened the bag containing the stones, rummaged through it, and took out a pile of "disk-shaped" stones, or stone flakes.
These stone flakes have been simply polished and are very regular in thickness and size.
Anyone who picks it up will have the urge to throw it away.
There are ten stone flakes in a stack.
Tang Wen walked from east to west, approaching the battlefield.
Five hundred meters, four hundred and fifty meters, for fear of alarming both sides, he walked very slowly, but the distance was not long after all.
When he counted "559" in his mind, he was less than a hundred meters away from the battlefield.
"Ouch!"
The howling of wolves was like a reminder, and the two warring groups fought even more crazily, preparing to finish off their opponents completely before escaping for their lives.
Anyway, the sand wolves' territory is in the south, so they won't stay by the river.
Sudden.
A sharp scream sounded that had never been heard before.
It was as if someone was holding a sharp object and sliding it rapidly on the iron sheet.
It’s so sharp that it makes people’s backs itch!
The sound was so loud that it drowned out the crazy roars from both sides.
Alien animals are far more sensitive than humans.
The moment the sound rang out, more than thirty sand lizards and black hyenas all frolicked.
As if receiving some kind of order, he turned his head at the same time and cast the cruel red light in his eyes in Tang Wen's direction.
Then he looked away at a faster speed, ignoring the opponents in front of him, and each made running and explosive movements in all directions.
But even with this delay in turning around, it was already too late to escape.
Tang Wen quickly visualized the explosion, and ten locust stones were fired from five directions: "high, middle, low" and "front and back", locking the space for them to escape.
A series of sonic booms, like thunder.
There was fire flowing in the air.
The heat was rising by the river.
The stone fragments frantically broke into the bodies of the sand lizards and hyenas, flying out with large pieces of flesh and blood, and then shot into the next target...
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams were miserable.
More sand lizards and black hyenas use the bodies of their companions or opponents to block.
Survive and run away.
Tang Wen exploded ten times in one breath. After adjusting for a few breaths, he rushed to the river with a knife and stabbed each wailing prey.
The roars of the sand wolves became clearer and clearer.
He ignored the careful cleaning and ran back to the barren hills, taking the horse and two moose to the river.
Tie the thirteen prey animals on the ground in groups of two.
I quickly calculated in my mind: One moose carries four, two moose carry eight, and the remaining three are for the horses!
You must be able to take it away easily... right?
He picked up two black hyenas and hung them on the moose's back.
The moose's hooves immediately became weak, it staggered two steps, made a mournful sound, and was unable to walk steadily.
"Useless things."
Tang Wen cursed and had no choice but to take out the rainproof cloth he had prepared earlier.
Pile the prey on the cloth and let two deer and one horse pull it away.
"Ouch!"
Before Tang Wen could cross the river, the sand wolf's figure appeared in the south.
One head, two heads... five heads.
Just these few?
His eyes twinkled.
Five sand wolves, medium strength beasts, can you come over and help me transport the prey?
The next second, he gave up his fantasy. After all, the sand wolf was a medium-sized alien beast.
One or two is fine, but catching five alive is almost impossible.
"Ouch!"
Farther away there were wolves howling.
The five sand wolves smelled the smell of fresh flesh and blood and trotted closer.
At their speed, Tang Wen would have to catch up within three to five miles.
"Bullying the minority with the greater number does not show martial ethics."
Tang Wen grabbed the pebbles and threw them out, making the air roar.
But the distance was too far, and in the short time it took to fly over, the sand wolves had already fled far away.
The locust stone hit the hill, an explosion was heard, and the ground collapsed, forming deep pits.
The sand wolves hesitated and did not dare to come forward. After a while, they slowly came to the edge of the pit and lowered their heads to observe for a long time.
But after all, he didn't dare to catch up.
The effect of the Grandmaster Level Locust Stone is far beyond the awareness of the sand wolves.
After Tang Wen took the moose and horse away, the sand wolves approached the south bank of the river and lowered their heads to lick the remaining flesh and blood on the ground.
"Hunting is fun for a while, but transporting meat is really hard!"
When there was no trace of the sand wolf behind him, he picked up the hand crossbow and shot it into the sky.
"Huh!"
The sounding arrow traced a long tail sound across the sky.
This was the signal agreed between him and the wilderness hunting team.
When the hunting team hears the signal, they will send people to respond.
"Tap tap tap"
In less than ten minutes, there was the sound of horse hooves.
so fast?
impossible.
Could it be that someone happened to be nearby?
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.
"Help!"
"Well, it seems not."
Tang Wen's smile froze on his face, he rubbed his temples and cheered up.
