A forest rhinoceros was drinking water by the stream. The stream was gurgling, the birds were singing quietly, and everything around him seemed very peaceful.
This forest rhinoceros is very large, nearly eight meters long, three meters tall and weighing nearly two tons. Standing by the stream, it looks like a hill. It drinks water quietly, but its ears move around and its small eyes
He was always observing his surroundings and seemed very vigilant.
Suddenly, its ears stopped and pointed in one direction to its side. It seemed to have noticed something. It stopped drinking water and raised its head.
At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow shot down from a tree nearby. With a "plop" sound, it accurately hit the soft meat behind the rhino's ear, and it penetrated the flesh by more than twenty centimeters.
The rhinoceros was in pain and roared to the sky. Its eyes immediately turned red. Because its ears were injured and its body balance was damaged, it stumbled towards the trees.
Just as it turned around, a person rushed out from behind the rhinoceros. He was holding a black spear in his hand. They were very fast and quickly followed Lin Xi's footsteps. The spear quickly stabbed out from Lin Xi's fragile body.
The hind body was thrust in, and it was inserted more than one meter deep. It was stirred up violently, and then it stopped fighting and quickly retreated behind a big tree. Using both hands and feet, it quickly climbed up the tree.
Lin Xi received this shameless sharp blow, and let out a miserable howl that changed its tone. His eyes turned red, he turned around quickly, and stumbled towards the person who poked its hindquarters.
It has gone crazy and doesn't care about anything else. It wants to destroy this opponent.
But just as it turned around, another person rushed out from the side, also holding a spear in his hand. With a lunge, the spear in his hand was like a drill, and he poked Lin Xi's small eye on the side that was protected by a thick brow bone.
'Poof' was still poked in the eye. The tip of the gun penetrated half a meter and hit Lin Xi's head. This was a fatal injury!
This extremely terrifying behemoth's legs gave way and it fell to the ground. It rolled on the ground seven or eight times. It hit a tree with a "boom" and shook all the fallen leaves.
As soon as Lin Xi died, ten people jumped out of the surrounding bushes. These people were all wearing animal skins and were very strong. Each of them held a spear made of hard iron wood, and five of them also carried bows and arrows.
His face was always filled with joy.
"Haha, such a big guy. This meat is enough for the whole village to eat for a long time. There is also such a large piece of rhino skin and rhino horns. Take it back, the leader will be very happy!" A young man with a strong body
The man jumped down from the tree, also holding a hardwood bow in his hand.
His name is Eddie, a highland hunter, and the arrow that shot into the ear just now was his masterpiece.
"Hurry up and cut the body into pieces and take it back. It's getting late and the werewolves are coming out." Another young man with an older look said.
His name was Allen. He was the person responsible for the butthole blow just now, and he was also the leader of the hunting team. When he said this, everyone quickly took out their wolf claw daggers and began to cut up Lin Xi's body.
After a while, the skin of the hill-like forest rhinoceros was peeled off by the hunter with experienced techniques. After another half an hour, the body was cut into many large pieces. Each piece weighed more than 100 kilograms, and they were all pieces of fine meat. The others were worthless.
The internal organs and bones have remained.
Ten people, each divided a piece, carried it and walked away with flying steps. They did not feel any burden at all.
Strong weight-bearing capacity and endurance are the basic skills of every hunter. Especially humans in the world of gods, after receiving good training and sufficient food supply, the upper limit of physical strength is far higher than that in the real world.
Basically, every highland hunter can carry a weight of 200 kilograms and run for 50 kilometers.
As they walked, archer Eddie said: "Alan, the leader is studying the magic seed potion with Mengsa. Do you think they will succeed?"
"The leader will definitely succeed!" Allen's tone was very certain.
"Oh, I really hope the leader will succeed soon. Magic, that is the real power!" Eddie yearned for it very much.
Not only him, but every hunter in the team is like this.
These highland hunters have all practiced martial arts for more than a year. Under Sun Ran's dedicated teaching and clever and reasonable training, they already have good combat power. The only thing missing is magic power.
With magic, they don't have to be afraid of werewolves or elves, and they are truly on the same level as them.
The whole group was filled with yearning, and the team fell silent.
Suddenly, Allen, who was walking at the front, raised his hand and said, "Stop, someone is staring at us."
The hunters immediately put down the pieces of meat in their hands and took up their spears. Several hunters with bows also nocked arrows and looked at the dense forest warily.
The branches and leaves on the tree moved, and two werewolves appeared. Their eyes flashed with red light, and they roared: "Put down the piece of meat, and then...get out!"
Allen raised his spear horizontally and assumed a defensive posture. At the same time, he winked at the others and the crowd quickly dispersed, looking for hiding places.
"If you want our prey, defeat us first!" Allen narrowed his eyes and roared like a wild beast in his throat.
Show your power and never give in, this is the law of the jungle! Here, those who are weak will be bullied, this is what the leader said.
The werewolves looked at each other, a little surprised, and then said: "Don't make us angry!"
This group of human beings is different from those we have encountered before. They have a fierce aura and are very strong in body. They don't look easy to mess with. And there are only two of them. If they do it, there is no absolute certainty. If it were the thin and weak ones in the past,
Humans, they have already rushed forward.
Allen didn't want to conflict. The werewolves were too strong and conflicts would inevitably lead to death. He didn't want to see this happen, so he released a killer weapon: "We are hunters from Highland Village, and our leader is Thrall. You are not afraid of us."
If the leader wants revenge, feel free to come and rob him!"
"What? Are you Highland Killers?!"
When the two werewolves heard this name, their faces changed drastically, they looked at each other, bared their teeth, and retreated into the dense forest unwillingly. They couldn't afford to offend these hunters, because they had seen the pile of heads of the Monta tribe.
The hunters didn't stay long, immediately picked up the pieces of meat and continued running towards the Highland Village.
Along the way, there were no more disturbances, and the group of people successfully returned to the river below the Highland Village.
It was safe once here. The hunters skillfully washed the meat and rhino skins in the river. After the blood and dirt on them were cleaned, they carried the clean meat on their backs. Along the narrow and steep mountain trails, passing through many
level, back to Highland Village.
More than a year later, the size of the highland village is completely different from that of Hetan Village in the past. The number of people in the entire village is far from the 400 people when it was first built, but nearly 1,000. And most of them are
It's young people.
At this time, Highland Village was full of houses, and its area was much larger than when it was first built. In the village, there were more blacksmith shops, bow and arrow shops, clothing shops, etc. to provide houses needed for daily fighting and life.
Along the way, you can often hear laughter. Along the way, you can often see many little ones just over one year old crawling around excitedly in the open space at the door of the house. They are babbling and shouting, full of life.
When they arrived at the grain store in the village, the hunters received a warm welcome. The women took the pieces of meat for processing, and children aged seven or eight quickly brought them water and hot food with respectful and enthusiastic expressions.
The hunters also took a long breath, relaxed their tense nerves, and truly felt the safety and warmth of home.
After the hunters had eaten and drank enough, a child came to deliver a message: "The leader said that all the hunters will come to his house in the evening. He has something to discuss with everyone."
The hunters nodded, ate their food in a hurry, then tidied up their appearance and went to the leader's residence.
The house is very large, built entirely of wood, and is divided into front and rear yards. The backyard is Sun Ran's residence, which is small in size and similar to most hunters' houses in the village. The front yard is very spacious and is the meeting hall of the hunters.
.
When they arrived at the house, they saw that all the hunters in the village were present. There were more than 300 people in total, all young people who were accomplished in martial arts.
The leader, Sal, and the second leader, Mengsa, are both there.
"Everyone, sit down." When Sun Ran saw the hunter arriving, he signaled. When everyone was seated, he said straight to the point: "What I want to discuss with you today is about magic power."
Upon hearing the word 'magic', all the hunters were shocked and listened attentively.
"First of all, we failed again to develop the magic seed potion ourselves." Sun Ran sighed. It's not that he doesn't know how to do it, but that he can't do it. Moreover, this potion requires harsh conditions. Even if it succeeds, there is no way.
Popular but of little use.
"Hey~" The hunters also sighed. They were also very concerned about this magical thing and were looking forward to success.
"But... we have another way!" Sun Ran changed the subject.
The hunters all looked up at him with expectant expressions on their faces.
Sun Ran continued: "In the Falling Star Valley to the east, there is a gathering place for our human race. There are more than a dozen magic warriors in their tribe. I guess they may have found a way to activate magic. I think we should ask
They're gone!"
"Will they say that? I heard that the people in Falling Star Valley are very exclusive and never interact with people from other settlements." Hunter Allen asked.
Sun Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled: "They won't tell us, but they will definitely tell us about the weapons in our hands, right?"
When he said this, many hunters bared their teeth and laughed, but some still had doubts. These hunters were more thoughtful. They were afraid of excessive casualties, and killing members of the same race was against the unity of the human race.
Sun Ran understood this idea and sighed: "Many times, peace cannot solve all problems, and our weapons are the best persuaders."
He looked at the hunters with worry in his eyes: "Our reputation is getting bigger and bigger now, and we are about to attract the attention of the elves. In order to cope with the challenges from the elves, we must have a way to activate magic. This is the foundation of the clan!"
The word "elf" immediately dispelled all hunters' hesitation.
In this forest, the elves are the real and irrefutable rulers. Deep in the hearts of all intelligent races in the forest, there is an instinctive reverence for the elves.
Those creatures with pointed ears and beautiful looks like gods are really too mysterious, too powerful, and too scary.
"We agree!" everyone said.
"Okay, let's make a plan. The principle is to avoid conflicts as much as possible. If possible, we will exchange things with them. Only when it is unavoidable will we take action." Sun Ran said.
"clear!"
After a night of discussion, the next day, half of the hunters stayed in the Highland Village to defend the village, while the other half, a hundred and fifty people, followed Sun Ran down the mountain and headed straight to the Luoxing Valley, two hundred miles away in the east.
