Chapter 5 Hunting
A group of people walked through the forest.
After leaving the tribal camp, the hunting team was divided into three teams, two teams of ten people each patrolling around the village, while Rock Hammer took the remaining soldiers north into the forest, including Leon.
The deeper you go into the forest, the higher the probability of encountering fat prey, but it also means more risks, because in the depths of the forest, in addition to beasts and animals, there are also terrible monsters.
The road in the forest is extremely difficult. Countless towering trees are blocking the front. The dense canopy covers the sky. The thick vines hang down from the trees and weave them into green nets. If you don't pay attention to it, you may get lost in it.
The plants in the forest are not all harmless. For example, a giant purple wolf flower more than ten meters high can spray out poisonous fog, drag people into the flower cavity full of sharp teeth after anesthesia and swallowing them up. There are many strange plants, which make the forest dangerous.
However, Rock Hammer and others are quite familiar with the situation in the forest. They can always avoid dangerous areas and find the beast trails trampled by beasts.
Because the hunting team must return before dark and can't sleep in the forest at night, there is not much time for the rock hammer. In order to hunt enough prey today, he had to urge everyone to speed up until the team members were so tired that they were about to get out of strength before ordering a break.
This kind of rushing march consumes a lot of physical strength, but it doesn't have much impact on Leon. Instead, it finds the feeling of fighting in the jungle.
Since he crossed into this world, he found that he not only increased his strength, but also improved his body's sensitivity and perception ability at the same time, and his memory and learning ability were far beyond the past. As long as he listened to the knowledge taught by Elder Munstein, he could be deeply imprinted in his mind.
Perhaps this is the compensation given to him by the god of fate, who suddenly threw him into this world and gave him a little ability to protect himself.
Although he entered the whistling forest to hunt for the first time, Leon is confident that as long as he walks a few times, he can hunt alone, of course, provided that he does not encounter the so-called "Warcraft".
Along the way, Leon felt more and more that the hunting team led by the rock hammer was insufficient. Although the twenty soldiers were huge, their endurance was seriously insufficient, and most of them were in vain due to the shortage of food.
What's more troublesome is that their weapons are very poor. The main weapon is a wooden shuttle gun. Although the gun head is made of iron, the quality is poor. It will be broken and damaged in less than a few times, and a few wooden bows are also unsightly.
You should know that the first team of Rock Hammer is the most elite hunting team of the Crazy Hammer tribe. Rock Hammer is a fourth-level barbarian warrior, and several second- and third-level warriors, but even so, they can't hunt enough food to meet the needs of themselves and the tribe.
These are not the biggest problems. What's really terrible is that all the soldiers, including the rock hammer, lack enough hunting experience, let alone an excellent scout guide.
This is still the rock hammer that took the initiative to tell Leon during the break. The excellent soldiers and hunters in the tribe all died to protect the clan. Many combat and hunting skills have not been passed down. Their younger generation hurriedly picked up weapons to fight for the tribe.
When Rock Hammer tells, Leon can see the sadness in his eyes, but he is more strong.
As the hunting team deepened, there were more and more animals in the forest, but most of them were wild monkeys and pheasants, and the large prey was still missing.
The long-tailed monkeys jumping around in the tree are extremely annoying. They jump around on the heads of the hunting team in groups, and they can't help making sour hiss, making a lot of noise.
In this way, even if there is any prey around, I'm afraid it has already been scared away.
Not only that, the monkeys also arrogantly threw wild fruit branches at the hunters. Several angry warriors counterattacked with wooden bows, but they got nothing but wasted two precious arrows - the monkeys were extremely agile and climbed high enough.
The rock hammer stopped their impulse in time, shook his head and said helplessly to Leon, "These long-tailed red monkeys like to make trouble. As long as we get out of their territory, we will be fine."
Leon nodded and didn't speak before he could speak. Suddenly, the wind suddenly sounded overhead, and a dark thing hit him from the air!
Leon reacted very quickly and dodged. The ball of things fell to the ground and smashed, emitting an unpleasant smell, and he didn't know what the rotten fruit was.
He looked up and saw a strong long-tailed red monkey squatting on a high branch not far away, grinning at himself, and throwing a fruit up and down.
Shit! Leon was furious, and the tiger was not powerful. Do you really think you are critically ill?
He picked up the shuttle gun and rushed forward, raised his arm to exhale, and threw the shuttle gun out with all his strength!
Wow!
The shuttle gun shoots straight out like an offline arrow, drawing a straight trajectory in the air, piercing the air and making a trembling roar!
The long-tailed red monkey instinctively felt the danger. Its legs tried to jump and dodge, but the speed of the shuttle gun was too fast. As soon as it jumped up, the sharp tip penetrated its abdomen!
Squeak!
The long-tailed monkey's shrill scream went straight into the sky, and the shuttle gun completely penetrated its body. The rest of the momentum continued to fly forward for a certain distance, and actually stabbed another monkey squatting on the tree.
One shot, two lives!
When the bodies of the two monkeys fell from the tree, the originally arrogant monkeys immediately collapsed. They screamed and ran away. In a blink of an eye, they slipped away without a trace. Obviously, they were scared by Leon's thunderous means.
There was silence in the woods, and a group of bear men were stunned. It may not be too difficult to shoot a long-tailed red monkey with a shuttle gun, but kill two monkeys with one shot...
"Just lucky!" Leon smiled. He didn't expect such a result. The second one was completely a chance.
But it's not just luck. He shot 30 to 40 meters away, and still hit the slippery long-tailed red monkey from the bottom up. Strength and skills are indispensable.
The rock hammer obviously understood the difficulty of this shot and came over and punched Leon's chest. This represents the admiration for Leon. The heavier it is, the more admiration it is.
The bear men woke up, laughed and learned the rock hammer, and came up to punch Leon in turn.
If the previous test between Leon and Rock Hammer made him recognized by the tribal warriors, then now this shot makes him really integrate into this team and truly become a member of the hunting team.
A soldier ran over and picked up the monkey's body and a shuttle gun. His face was full of happy smiles. No matter how small the mosquitoes were, they were still meat, and the two long-tailed red monkeys were also a little fleshy.
The rock hammer asked the team members to sit down and rest, and introduced to Leon separately: "This is the stone hammer, my brother, this is the storm hammer, this is the hammer..."
Leon is speechless. All his names are with hammers. They are completely a group of bear hammers. No wonder they are called the Crazy Hammer Tribe. Fortunately, there is no stick hammer, otherwise he will really laugh.
Rock Hammer's younger brother, Shi Hammer, has just come of age. His surname is more simple than his brother. He stammered and proposed to Leon that he wanted to learn the skill of throwing a gun, but without saying a few words, a bear's face turned purple.
"No problem. I'll teach you when we get back to the camp!" Leon patted him on the shoulder amusedly.
The soldier who picked up the prey returned the shuttle gun to Leon. Leon checked and found that the head of the gun was broken and could no longer be used.
It's too bad! Leon couldn't help frowning. He heard that these iron gun heads were exchanged by the tribe with animal skins and collected herbs for human merchants. Several animal skins or baskets of dried herbs could be exchanged for one. The texture was so bad that those merchants were really black-hearted.
It's just that the mad hammer tribe has no blacksmiths. They can't make their own weapons or even repair them. If they are broken, they can only exchange them with those black-hearted merchants.
"Brother Leon, you used mine..." The stone hammer handed over his shuttle gun, which was his only weapon.
Leon shook his head, pulled out the tiger saber tied to his leg, tied it firmly to the head of the gun with a rope, and a new shuttle gun came out.
Many soldiers are full of envy in their eyes. Although the tiger saber is only half a foot long, its strange shape, cold blade and ferocious serrated teeth all show its fierceness and strength, which is no different from an artifact for them!
After the break, the hunting team continued on their way and soon came to today's hunting area.
The hunting methods of this group of bear warriors are quite simple. Twenty people spread out from a distance and carefully search the woods in a fan shape. Once the prey is found, they will surround and attack - as for whether they can find the prey, it all depends on luck.
I don't know if it was because there were no monkeys making trouble. The hunting team was quite lucky. After a long time, they actually hunted three pheasants, five forest hares and a spotted roe deer.
Such a harvest made Rock Hammer and others very happy, especially the flower deer shot by Leon with a shuttle gun weighing hundreds of catties, which can make the whole tribe eat a delicious meal.
However, the rock hammer is not satisfied. Now the situation of the tribe is too difficult. Even if he beats one more hare, it is a real help, so he decided to continue to go deep into the forest to find more prey.
Out of caution, he asked the two most agile soldiers in the team to search in front, while the others rested on the spot to eat some dry food to restore their strength.
Not long after, two soldiers in charge of the search came back. They looked very excited and brought back a good news.
There is a small lake outside the dense forest in front of you. There is a group of black thorn porcupines drinking water and playing by the lake, with dozens of them!
"Black thorn porcupine?" The rock hammer's eyes suddenly lit up and immediately jumped up from the ground: "Let's go and have a look!"
