After calculating the supplies for the second team, businessman Larkin asked He Boqiang: "What do you need me to prepare for you this time?"
‘A bag of salt, five alloy bows, five daggers, two ax blades, and a bag of fine steel arrow clusters.’ He Boqiang wrote on a piece of parchment.
"That's all?" Businessman Larkin asked He Boqiang.
He Boqiang nodded.
"Well, just wait for me, it won't take too long."
With that said, the merchant Larkin walked out.
Not long after, the businessman Larkin brought back a leather bag, which looked a bit heavy. He placed the bag at the door of the tent, opened the bag and revealed a fine steel arrow cluster as big as two little fingers. This kind of arrow cluster only requires
Attach a hardwood round pole and wedge a piece of feather into the tail, and you will have a fine feathered arrow.
Those indigenous people do not know how to smelt iron. In addition to wooden spears and wooden bows, the only weapons in their hands are stone axes and bone-tooth sticks. The indigenous people have no problem using these weapons to hunt small beasts in the forest, but if they want to hunt large beasts
, if you want to resist the attacks of those ferocious monsters in the forest, you can only rely on fate. At that time, only those who can run fast can survive.
The great wizard liked the weapons that He Boqiang brought to the great wizard Inoyatila last time. Therefore, during this trip to the indigenous village, He Boqiang planned to bring as many weapons as possible, hoping that these weapons could improve the living conditions of the indigenous people.
Businessman Larkin wrapped the alloy bow in oil paper and tied it to He Boqiang's sleeping bag. A heavy bag of fine steel arrow clusters and salt hung underneath. Five daggers were inserted into his belt, and two ax blades were tied with ropes.
Strung together and tied around his waist, these things weighed more than two hundred pounds. Even if He Boqiang had the buffing effect of the 'Blessed Body' at the moment, carrying these things was almost to the limit of his physical ability.
He Boqiang set out from the forest camp in the scorching sun and climbed to the ridge next to the river valley. When he waded through the shallow stalls in the valley, he almost became food in the mouth of the Tim fish, but He Boqiang had no idea of hunting the Tim fish.
This dense forest is inaccessible and very far from the forest farm camp. The hunting team from the forest farm will not easily come here, so the indigenous villages here have always been a hidden existence.
Stepping into an oak forest, He Boqiang stepped on the rotten leaf soil full of dead branches. There was a crackling sound when the dead branches broke, startling a group of birds in the forest to fly up.
At this time, a short low roar came from the dense forest, and a violent earth bear suddenly poked its head out from behind the oak tree in the forest and roared at He Boqiang, which startled He Boqiang.
When he looked at the crescent pattern on the chest of the Geomaniac bear, he found that it was actually the familiar Geomaniac bear. The expression on He Boqiang's face was also very exciting. There was some surprise of reunion, but also fear of such a ferocious beast.
Fearful, He Boqiang hesitantly wanted to get closer. The bear also stared at the He Boqiang with its eyes as big as copper bells. When it saw He Boqiang trying to get closer, it let out a warning growl.
He Boqiang spread his hands, indicating that he had no other actions, but was approaching the Earthly Bear step by step. However, as He Boqiang pressed forward step by step, the Earthly Bear took two steps back and let out a low roar of warning again.
Seeing that the violent earth bear didn't want him to get close, and didn't make any move like pounce or bite. It just stood there quietly. He Boqiang shrugged his shoulders, carefully passed by it sideways, and walked towards the depths of the oak forest without saying a word.
Thinking of the violent earth bear twisting its huge butt and following behind He Boqiang.
One person and one bear walked in this forest for a long time.
When it got dark, He Boqiang found a place with higher ground, unloaded his heavy goods, took out a simple hammock and tied it between two trees, and spread his sleeping bag on the hammock. He packed up the
After everything, a clean open space was cleared, a bonfire was lit, and some marching rations were cooked in an iron pot.
This rice cereal-like thing didn't taste very good. He Boqiang pinched his nose and ate a little before losing his appetite. He threw the iron pot aside and took a sip of water to clear the taste from his mouth.
The Geomancer was sitting not too far across from the fire. Under his paws was an elk that had shed all its blood. The Elk's belly had been hollowed out by the Geomancer, and it was now tearing it apart.
Touch the fattest part of the elk's tail.
When it saw He Boqiang stopped, it shook its body and stood up from the ground. While He Boqiang walked to the hammock, the violent earth bear slowly walked to the bonfire and cut a bear's face covered in blood.
Reach into that iron pot.
The Dire Bear stuck out its tongue and licked the edge of the iron pot. When it tasted the extremely delicious food in the iron pot, it rolled its big tongue twice and licked all the batter in the iron pot.
.
Then, the violent earth bear pushed the iron pot with its paw and growled at He Boqiang.
He Boqiang was still in a daze, but the Geomaniac Bear had turned around, twisted its fat body to pick up the half-eaten elk, threw it in front of He Boqiang with a 'plop', and once again used its claws to pluck the iron in front of him.
pot.
This time, He Boqiang finally understood. The Big Earth Bear just wanted to eat the marching rations. He Boqiang picked up the iron pot on the ground and cooked a pot of rice paste on the bonfire. The Big Earth Bear was greedy and saw the iron pot.
It was still bubbling, and he wanted to come over to eat the rice cereal in the pot. He Boqiang was worried that the rice cereal would burn its tongue, so he subconsciously pushed its big head away.
The Earth Dire Bear roared at He Boqiang reluctantly, its mouth covered in deer blood was right next to He Boqiang, filled with a strong fishy smell.
He Boqiang was startled. Only then did he realize that the Big Dire Bear was only one foot away from him. The man and the bear looked at each other for a while. The Dire Dire Bear did not do anything dangerous, so He Boqiang put the iron pot aside.
The Earth Dire Bear got the iron pot filled with rice paste and was immediately attracted by the iron pot. However, it did not forget the elk in exchange. It pushed the remaining elk to He Boqiang.
He Boqiang was not polite. He used a thin-skinned knife to cut a strip of fresh meat from a selected place on the elk's back, and used a wooden stick to skewer the meat and roast it over the fire.
The violent earth bear lay quietly next to him, tasting the pot of rice cereal carefully without even looking at He Boqiang.
And He Boqiang got the most tender eye meat of the elk, and the barbecue was extremely delicious.
He Boqiang brought a total of three days of marching rations this time, and cooked them all for the Earthburst in one go. However, this small amount of marching rations was still enough for the Earthburst to eat. Fortunately, there was still the half of the elk, and the Earthburst even had its bones.
After swallowing all the meat into his stomach like eating carrots, he lay down satisfied.
At night, the earthburst slept next to the bonfire, its curled body lying in the forest. The earthburst was almost as tall as He Boqiang.
Such a ferocious beast only makes slight breathing sounds when it sleeps.
Lying in his sleeping bag, He Boqiang felt a little incredible when he thought that he actually spent the night with a giant george bear.
Feeling sleepy and confused, I fell asleep without realizing it.
The next morning, He Boqiang woke up from his sleep and found that the violent earth bear was still sleeping soundly. He jumped down lightly, carried his luggage on his back, and planned to leave the forest. Unexpectedly, he had just moved forward.
After a few steps, he found that the ground behind him kept shaking, and the violent earth bear followed him again.
Until He Boqiang came to the mouth of the valley where the indigenous village was located.
Standing in front of the valley, He Boqiang was worried that if he brought a geomantic bear into the village, the bear would become ferocious and eat the indigenous people in the village...
But the violent earth bear stopped in the dense forest first. After roaring at He Boqiang twice, it turned around and walked silently into the dense forest.
Only He Boqiang was left to walk into the valley where the indigenous village was located...
