Steven swung the blood-stained straight knife to his side, and with a swish sound, all the blood on the knife was shaken off. Then he inserted the straight knife into the scabbard on his back.
He then turned around and came to the giant's body, standing there observing the giant's body.
At this time, Kate came over and took the giant's huge head to its body and put it on its neck. The two stood next to the complete body and looked at this humanoid creature they had never seen before.
Kate said to Joey who was coming over: "The giant just made a loud noise. If there are his companions nearby, they will definitely hear it. You call a few people to be on guard in the front and left and right directions. After we check the giant's situation,
Get out of here immediately." After Joey nodded, he immediately arranged for several team members to be on guard at the front, and then everyone began to observe the bodies lying on the ground.
The body proportions of this giant are still very different from ordinary humans.
He has a broad body and looks very strong. There is lush body hair on his belly and the roots of his legs and hands. A strong body odor permeates around him.
The proportions of his head and body are normal, but his palms and soles are much larger in proportion, not like humans at all, and he only has four fingers and toes, which immediately reminded the two of them of the ogres in the dark rain forest.
Those dwarfs only have four fingers and toes.
Is there any connection between the two? Steven thought in his mind.
He carefully observed the giant's head again. The facial features were very ugly. The ears on both sides of the head looked very big. The bridge of the nose was flat and the nostrils were very large. The pupil of the one intact eye that stared out was black, just like the indigenous humans in the New World.
, his mouth is still open, and the sharp teeth in his mouth are completely different from humans, but closer to carnivorous beasts.
The pirate team members also gathered around to look at the giant corpse on the ground. They were amazed at the giant's huge stature and thick body hair, and kept sighing. Joey circled around the corpse, and then he took out his dagger and squatted down to grab it.
Cut off one of the giant's ears, and then wrap the bloody ear with leaves.
At this time, Steven and Kate had already checked the giant's physical characteristics. They estimated that the giant had very keen hearing and smell, so it could detect the exploration team in advance.
At noon, after eating dry food, the search team began to assemble. The team members on guard outside found nothing unusual. Steven was still clearing the way at the front. The teams behind him lined up lengthwise and followed behind him, carefully setting off in the direction where the giant had just ambush.
.
After walking for more than three hours, Steven, who was walking ahead, found that the terrain was constantly rising and the rainforest began to become a little sparse. Then he discovered that there were three raised peaks blocking the way in the distance.
As we get closer, rocks appear at intervals on the ground.
Steven found more giant footprints on the ground. These marks were very fresh, and he asked the team to stop.
Steven, Kate and Joey discussed for a while behind a huge rock and decided that the team would retreat some distance back and return to the rain forest. Steven and Kate would go to the peak in front to conduct reconnaissance before notifying the team.
The two followed the footprints and traces left by the giant and explored towards the three peaks in front. If they went in the current direction, they would be able to walk into the center surrounded by the three peaks.
More than 200 meters away from the mountain peak, Steven, who was walking in front, heard a strange sound, similar to the sound made by some kind of monkey, but it was shriller than the monkey.
Steven identified the direction of the wind. There was no wind in the jungle at this time, but the smell of humans would spread far even in the windless jungle. The two of them did not stop and continued to groping forward. There was a cry in front of them.
It doesn't sound like there are many animals.
It wasn't long before Steven felt like he was being targeted by the squealing animal!
He stopped, and Kate behind him also stood behind a rock and took off the hunting bow from his back.
Two wolf-like beasts sprang out from the jungle bushes in front of them and screamed at Steven just like before. Only then did the two of them see the appearance of these two beasts clearly.
They are larger than wolves, between ringed leopards and wolves. Their bodies are covered with yellowish-brown hyena hairs. The hairs on the ridges on their backs are black and extend to the back of their bodies to form a long tail, with two sides of the long tail.
Each has 2 shorter whip-like tails, wrapped in scales, and 5 tails spread out behind them like petals. Their ears are long and pointed, and their lower jaw is divided into two lobes. When they open their mouths to howl, their mouths are triangular.
The mouth is full of fangs and sharp teeth!
The two ferocious beasts roared at Steven a few times, then sprinted towards him at the same time, then jumped up and flew over! The petals-like tails trailing behind them had already been gathered up while they were in the air.
Kate, who was diagonally behind, shot a feather arrow. The fine steel arrow flew into the open mouth of the beast on the right, inserted into its upper jaw and came out from the back of its head!
Although its flying body was still moving forward in the air, it was no longer able to take follow-up attacks. It fell down a few meters in front of Steven and tried to stand up, but the fatal arrow wound caused it to fall to the ground crookedly.
Roll up.
Steven ignored the beast that was hit by an arrow, but instead pulled out the straight knife on his back and slashed at the beast that was charging forward. After the straight knife was unsheathed, the blade slashed across the sky and slashed diagonally in front of him, forming a
A diagonal semicircular mark, along with an afterimage, cut the head of the monster that rushed over into two pieces. With the blood splashing, the monster's body fell to the ground and twitched!
Later, the two of them checked the corpse of the monster on the ground. Judging from their actions and body structure, this monster had very strong aggressiveness and tracking capabilities.
The two decided to adjust their direction and head towards the mountain on the right, because there were more and more traces on the ground. There should be many giants at the foot of the mountain not far away. If they went straight forward, they would inevitably encounter giants directly. But why did these two monsters
Staying near giants, it is logical that they cannot eat giants as food, which led the two to make a not-so-good guess.
After turning to the right, the traces on the ground began to gradually decrease. Following the rising terrain, the two advanced several hundred meters and then began to go up the mountain. The jungle on the mountain was still dense, hiding their figures well.
After a while, the two of them had climbed to the mountainside of this several hundred meters high mountain. They found a position where they could see the plains below. Steven climbed up a tall tree and hid himself among the dense branches and leaves.
Holding a monocular to observe the situation at the foot of the mountain.
In the open space surrounded by three peaks at the foot of the mountain is a row of wooden piles arranged as a wall. A village-style camp is formed inside the wooden pile wall. There are only a few tall wooden buildings, and more are dug out at the foot of the mountain.
of cave.
Some giants were walking around in the camp. Three wooden houses surrounded a large open space. A huge bonfire was burning in the center of the open space. A few meters high wooden frame above the fire was tied to a large open space.
The charred human corpse, these giants were using several long sticks to remove the corpse.
