Survive in the beast world

Chapter 79 Ambush in the Snow

Under the signal of Baihu, everyone wiped the herbal medicine to eliminate the smell on their bodies, and continued to play this terrible game of hide-and-seek.As they spent more and more time circling in the territory of the Horror Beast, Li Shizhen gradually had a map in his mind.

The more he knew the terrain, the more Li Shizhen admired Baihu's courage and grasp of timing.Several times, they passed by the Horror Beasts dangerously across a mountain peak. The two clear three-toed footprints of the Horror Beasts on the snow clearly indicated that these two giant beasts had just passed by this place a few minutes ago. At that time, they were on the back of the mountain.All the thrilling things in it are hard to describe in a few words.

Li Shizhen was very confused, he had no idea how Baihu did it.To be able to control the distance between them and the Horror Beast so safely and wonderfully.At the same time, he couldn't understand why the white tiger took such a big risk to get close to the two terrifying beasts.If he wanted to intercept and kill Li Shizhen, he would not believe that Baihu would choose to attack head-on.

He tugged at the snow-white fur under his body, frowning and thinking hard about this guy's plan.

With more and more "close encounters" with the same horror beasts, the people in the team have become more and more familiar with the surrounding terrain and the living habits of this terrible monster.

Probably because the snowfields are cold and the vegetation is scarce, and the prey is relatively small. The territory occupied by these two dire beasts is very vast, and the dire beasts often patrol this wide territory in search of food.

The forest that the orcs talk about is located at the northernmost point of this territory, connected to a cliff so steep that even falling snow can't cover it.The area of ​​this forest is very small. It may be because it grows on a sunny hillside, and there are cliffs to shield it from the cold wind, so there are many tall trees, and there are some bushes covered by heavy snow under the trees.There are also many shrubs and dry grass growing on the cliffs further north.

At this time, the woods were covered with heavy snow, and the bare trunks with no leaves were covered with thick snow, and the coniferous trees without leaves were also covered with thick snow padded jackets, with only a little bit of green showing, indicating that the leaves were still there.

Such an inconspicuous grove is the only hope for many herbivores around to survive the heavy snow season. The fallen leaves, rotting wood and shrubs left under the trees are the only sure food source within an unknown number of meters.So even if you know that there are terrible giant beasts living in the woods, in the desperate severe winter, there will be herbivores rushing like moths to the flame from time to time, risking their lives just for that bit of bitter cannibalism.

Because of this geographical advantage in attracting prey, the two dire beasts used this place as their base camp, and they would only leave temporarily when they went out to hunt.

Creatures that can survive in a dangerous environment have extraordinary abilities. This iron law also applies to the animals living around this forest. It is not so easy to be neighbors with dire beasts.

They either have keen five senses and quick reactions, like those small mammals and small dinosaurs running around in the forest, or have impenetrable defenses, like the ankylosaurus that wandered in the forest and encountered several times, or have swift speed And a superb level of acrobatics, like the group of creatures in front of you.

These are a group of snow-white mammals that can't tell whether they are sheep or cattle, with brown and strong curved horns growing on their heads. At this time, they are scattered on the cliffs where snowflakes cannot stay, eating hay, shrubs and various moss leisurely.If they are sheep, sheep will not have such a strong body; if they are cattle, which family's cattle can come and go freely on a steep mountain wall close to [-] degrees?

This should be the only animal that doesn't have to worry about food sources during the snow season. Although the shrubs and moss are hard and hard to swallow, the number is guaranteed. The plants on the cliffs are enough for them to supply them all winter. There is absolutely no problem.

Seeing that sturdy figure running nimbly on the mountain wall, Li Shizhen was out of breath several times just watching from the sidelines. Obviously, the rocks under their hooves rolled down several times, as if this huge animal was in the next moment. They will accidentally roll down and fall into a bloody mess. Facts have proved that this situation is purely imaginary. These robust animals can always find their balance quickly and continue to walk on the vertical cliffs as if walking on the ground.

Presumably only such superb skills, almost acrobatic, can eat food that other animals cannot reach.No creature that can survive in a difficult environment is simple.

Like this kind of animal that lives on the mountain wall, the dire beasts have nothing to do with them, they can only hunt or ambush them when they occasionally come down into the forest.

Despite being the only top predator in the area, it seems to be the norm for the dire beasts to go hungry during the snow season. Since their last feeding, the two dire beasts have tried to ambush the animals, but all ended in defeat.The checks and balances of the laws of nature are everywhere. It allows the Dread Beast to evolve many terrifying abilities, and it also allows the residents around the Dread Beast to evolve the ability to resist these abilities.

In order to fill their stomachs, today the two dire beasts gave up squatting in the back garden of their home and set off to the south of the woods, where a group of mammoths are active. Compared with the animals on the mountain wall, mammoths are obviously It was even harder to deal with, but the group of guys on the mountain never came down, and the hungry predators had to try their luck at the mammoth.

Li Shizhen didn't quite understand why the white tiger had been playing hide-and-seek around the scary beasts for so long, and then suddenly gave up following them and stayed in the north instead.

After the Horror Beasts set off for a while, Baihu arranged for Xiao and another wolf orc to go to the south of the grove to guard. It seemed that he decided to make a big move in their lair while the Horror Beasts were away.

It was only then that Li Shizhen realized that the reason for keeping the wolf orcs in their human form was very simple. The wolves in their animal form could not climb trees. In case of a situation where they needed to evacuate, the tree was undoubtedly the safest escape route.The alert location of these two wolf orcs will definitely choose a big tree with a wider view.

Seeing that the giant beast finally gave up and left, the animals on the mountain seemed to be relieved. They were used to seeing such terrifying predators as Direbeast. The same animals are put in the eyes.These white guys descended into the forest one after another, some licked the snow water, and some began to look for some food on the ground that was not available on the mountain wall.

The tiger orcs dispersed silently without warning, and Li Shizhen also left the white tiger's back tacitly, and quickly found a big tree to climb up.The wolf orcs also chose their own places to ambush.

Li Shixuan sat on a high tree fork, took out dry food, and began to eat with snow water. Since the beginning of this terrible hide-and-seek game, not only the tiger orcs were hungry, but the others also followed suit. After all, eating It would be too tragic if something or something attracted the beasts to follow the smell and turn around to find it.

The vision from the high place is very clear, and Li Shizhen is very thankful that he chose a good angle and clearly saw an exceptionally exciting hunting.

Seven or eight tigers spread out, subtly switching positions under the cover of the bushes under the forest, as if they had a tacit understanding in the usual training, the white tiger took the lead in attacking the group of animals.

Although the group of big guys ran in fright at first, seeing that the intruder was not big, they all turned around and lowered their heads, preparing to resist the attack with their own corners and heavy impact.

However, behind them, several tigers also launched an attack at the same time, which caught the group of animals off guard. Suddenly, they had no time to adjust their formation, they panicked at first, and then they didn't know which one suddenly took the lead, and fled towards the mountain wall. go.Experience accumulated over the years in the struggle for survival against the Dreadbeasts has taught them that mountain walls are the only safe sanctuary.

This also brings a negative negative effect. Whenever danger occurs, their first reaction is not to deal with it head-on but to flee to the mountain wall. It is undoubtedly a stupid way to expose the back to predators.

The tigers obviously have a lot of experience in rounding up such large creatures. Several tigers run close to their bodies to squeeze out their space, and the other few attack and threaten them from the side. They used to run in groups to form a natural protection with their speed and weight. In this way, the ethnic groups were divided.

From the perspective of Li Shizhen, this scene is really shocking. The animals running in groups are stepping on the snow, and the snow foam is surging like waves. A few orange dots are like the precise cutting lines when cutting a cake. This mass of running white cake was cut into pieces, completely losing the terrifying power of the impact.But the only white tiger was at the back of the team, driving the whole group of animals towards the designated direction.

In the end the tigers surrounded a small group of five or six animals, including a very young individual.At this time, there is no need for complicated tactics anymore. The tigers swarmed up, and two or three people stared at one and started bloody probing and biting. Some climbed up the back of the animal from behind, and some attacked the throat from the side. Besieged by predators, the fate of these animals is self-evident.The two animal tigers who escaped the siege didn't pay attention to them, and didn't even cast their eyes.

The two panic-stricken animals who had just escaped just let go of their hearts and ran towards the mountain desperately. Many javelins flew from different angles, completely shattering their last hope. The escaped prey were pinned down one by one.

At this time, the white tiger listened attentively, but there was no news from the wolf orcs who were on guard in the distance.This is good news, it proves that the Horror Beast has really gone looking for the group of mammoths, and it is afraid that it will not come back in a short time.

The white tiger gave an order of "嗤", and the tigers began to eat. At this time, the prey's chest was still emitting steaming heat. This was undoubtedly the best food that the tigers could eat for many days.

The white tiger took a prey to the tree, and gave a "wow" to Li Shixuan above.

Li Shizhen fell down the tree neatly, and some of the wolves who came out of nowhere were carrying their prey and were treating them with snow water, and some were still holding the firewood they picked up, and they quickly started a fire.They have done this set of neat procedures many times on the road, and they are very proficient.

The little animal held by the white tiger has a javelin stuck into its body. It is not an obsidian tip, but a white tip. It is the tyrannosaurus javelin used by Li Shizhen.Li Shizhen took down the javelin, but the white tiger didn't intend to eat the prey immediately. Instead, it climbed up the tree with the prey in its mouth and put the prey on the tree fork.

The place for cooking was chosen on a slope where the forest and the cliff transitioned. No one knew how long it would take for the Horror Beast to come back. It was all done quickly, and they had to reserve time for more preparations.This forest seems to be the cemetery chosen by the White Tiger for the Horror Beast. After understanding this, Li Shizhen kept replaying the various terrains in the vicinity while cooking, trying to find a more favorable way to defeat the Horror Beast. .

Undoubtedly, the conditions this time are much harsher than last time, they don't have much time to prepare, don't think about activities like digging holes, one is that there are not enough people, and the other is that the ground is frozen hard , I don’t know how much effort it will take to dig a trap.

The last time I dealt with the female tyrannosaurus, I couldn't dig the well, and there were stones... There are no other high grounds besides the cliffs where the animals live. To lure the dire beasts to such a close place, you have to be on such a high cliff. It is even more unrealistic to pile enough big and enough rocks on the top and get rid of two horror beasts at once.

However, there are naturally ways to deal with the enemy on the snow. Looking at the white prey on the ground, Li Shizhen's heart moved, and he began to write and draw with the white tiger on the snow while eating barbecue.At this time, Baihu didn't intend to be a fool anymore, which surprised Li Shizhen to his plan.However, it is obvious that Li Shizhen has more ideas in his mind for this kind of hands-on work.The plan was almost perfected in the effort of a meal for the two of them.

In fact, there is no need for too complicated ideas at all, as long as it is effective, a set of plans is enough.

After simply filling their stomachs, the fire did not go out immediately, it was still heating the ice and snow in the pot, and then everyone started to work separately.It can only be said that it is very wise for the White Tiger to reserve the decision of the wolf orcs to maintain their human form. The plan they finally settled on requires a lot of manpower to execute. After all, the animal form is not as flexible as the human form.

The first place Li Shizhen and Baihu chose was in the woods, between two tall trees, which were about seven or eight meters apart.After Li Shizhen tied the eye-catching animal skins on the tree trunk, a group of people began to get busy.They cleared the snow first, and then drove slender wooden sticks into the ground like piles according to the positions marked by Li Shizhen's drawing and Baihu.

These wooden sticks were brought out from the valley under the instruction of Baihu. They were originally used to make javelins, but they were cut into two, because they were already thin, so they were easily nailed into the ground. The length left outside was only thirty Then, the insidiousness of the white tiger was completely exposed. He motioned to a wolf orc to pour out a pile of things from the animal skin. Amidst the clattering sound, these black things glistened in the sun. It is to deal with the obsidian gun head that is not installed.

Everyone put the heads of the guns on the wooden sticks on the ground one by one as they usually assemble javelins.The obsidian javelins inserted upside down on the ground reflected dazzling light in the sun.Li Shizhen stepped forward and adjusted the angles of the javelins one by one, making them all slightly tilted towards the south at a seventy-degree angle, and even supported them one by one with Y-shaped twigs.

Then an orc came over with a pot full of melting snow water, sweating profusely. Li Shizhen took it and poured the snow water down the javelins one by one, making sure that the bottom of each javelin was soaked.Then Li Shizhen opened his backpack, and in addition to the food, it contained the "learning results" he had studied with Yang Apa for such a long time.

Li Shizhen opened a wrapped dry leaf and carefully applied the powder on the javelin one by one.Then put away the folded leaves densely, and carefully clean your hands with the ice and snow on the side.

The busy tigers on the other side had already returned. They were afraid that the snow next to them would not be enough. The white tiger took the lead, and the animal skins they dragged were covered with snow.

Li Shizhen and a group of wolf orcs spread the soft snow on the javelin layer by layer, especially around the javelin, being careful not to overwhelm the javelin, and let the snow completely cover it.When it was finally complete, Li Shizhen finally swept it lightly with a big broom made of a branch, and the ground was white again, smooth and clean as before, and there was no way to see the many murderous intentions buried deep under the thick snow.

Li Shizhen made a thin rope with the snow-white skin of the animal just now, and after properly arranging it on the two trees, Baihu checked it carefully, and found that there was no problem.

The group retreated to the small slope again, and the second pot of snow water had already melted.The wolf orcs inserted the wooden sticks upside down about ten meters below the small slope almost parallel to the slope, installed the javelin heads as before, and arranged them properly.Everyone began to water the slope, repeating the actions of melting snow and watering non-stop. The temperature of the water formed by the snow was not high. Once watered, the entire side of the small slope quickly froze.

This small slope is a slope that slopes downward from south to north. Forty degrees is not too steep, and it is only a hundred meters long.Seeing the upside-down javelins on the ice that is not covered by ice and snow is like a hideous barb on the ice and snow armor, which is daunting.

Finally, under the sign of the white tiger, some water was also poured on the edge of the high ground on the small slope.Li Shizhen used some branches to tie up a flat-shaped thing, and he didn't know what it was going to be used for.

After Li Shizhen arranged everything and repeatedly explained all the plans and steps, the orcs finally hid in the big trees on the edge of the highland, holding the thick rope specially made in the valley, holding their breath, Just waiting for the arrival of the beast.

This time the wait was extremely long and anxious.

After a day and a night, the long-lost warning whistle sounded, and it rang again in one long and two short intervals. There was nothing wrong with it. It was not the song of a bird, but indeed a signal agreed in advance.

Li Shixuan responded with two short and one long tweets, indicating that the signal had been received. At this time, he was squatting on the big tree at the first ambush point, and the white tiger had already set off with the dead and stiff animal in its mouth.

Not long after, as Li Shizhen and Baihu explained to everyone, everyone heard an earth-shattering roar of anger.Even though all the orcs were mentally prepared because of the advance confession, and even they all had the experience of bloody battles in the wild, they were still frightened by this terrible sound, such a terrible howl close to their ears, It was as if the giant beast opened its bloody mouth in front of its own eyes.

This kind of impact of facing a powerful and invincible opponent is completely different from the previous cautious hide-and-seek. Although the latter is exciting and thrilling, the horror beasts always have an advantage in the light and in the dark.This loud roar is telling everyone that this advantage is gone, and the terrifying beasts have already known their existence, and they must face this terrifying predator head-on!

This is not the first time for Li Shizhen to hear this kind of roar that seemed to be spouting lava from the depths of hell. Lost his sight, he couldn't see the white tiger's condition clearly for a while, however, no sound at this time is the best news.

Soon, the white tiger appeared intermittently in Li Shizhen's sight with its prey in its mouth. His speed had obviously reached the limit on the snow. Li Shizhen's pupils shrank. How could the beast be so fast? !This speed was already faster than their estimates, and even the white tiger was forced to run away at this extremely exhausting speed!

But all of this is still in their pre-arranged script. Their poaching behavior and the bloody smell of their prey in the territory of the Horror Beasts have greatly stimulated the Horror Beasts. They really will not let this behavior go. , the ownership of the prey will most likely become a life-and-death struggle in the end.

Moreover, the prey chosen by the white tiger was something that the Terror Beast had not caught for many days, which ignited the Terror Beast's anger.

It’s like planting a fruit tree in the back garden of your home. The owner has coveted it for a long time, but because the fruit grows too high, he has to go out to satisfy his greed. When he comes back, he finds that the fruit has been picked and the thief is still holding it in his mouth. No one can swallow the breath of Guozi showing off in front of you, let alone the most terrifying top predator in the whole north.It can only be said that Bai is really good at attracting hatred. In the game, he is a proper MT talent.

They have occupied such a vast territory for a long time, and the provocateurs, including their kin, were severely defeated by them, and their lives were spared!How dare this little guy challenge the dignity of a top predator!Only blood can wash away this shame and appease the anger of the top predators. Of course, the prey must be kept!

With the sound of heavy and quick footsteps, Li Shizhen heard the rumbling pace again, which was different from the unique vibration of the tyrannosaur's pace, and the pace of the dire beast was lighter and lighter. It's really fast, not one or two o'clock.This is probably the advantage brought by those more slender legs.

The white tiger was running fast under the tree where Li Shizhen was with its prey in its mouth. Outside the heavy feet of the beast, Li Shizhen could still hear the sound of snowflakes and heavy panting from the white tiger's running.Holding the javelin, Li Shizhen narrowed his eyes as he watched the fearsome beast getting closer and closer. Success or failure depended on this moment.
