Chapter 1 The Weird

There was a wind blowing across the rolling gray hills in front of me, and the meadows on the hills turned green waves in the wind, and everything seemed quiet and harmonious.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly above the head, and several adult deer were wandering under a piece of low seabuckthorn on the edge of the meadow, with their heads down, enjoying the luscious berries on the seabuckthorn tree, facing the ice and snow wasteland For all the animals living in the world, this time is the best season of the year.

The wind blowing across the meadow rustled the weeds taller than a person, and at the same time, the wind also brought some other sounds and breaths in the meadow.

As if they sensed something, several wilderness horned deer that were eating stopped suddenly, raised their necks, looked around, and then ran away in panic at the same time.

Several wilderness horned deer just started to run, and after the swishing sound, several javelins were inserted around the ground where they were just now. One wilderness horned deer was stabbed in the neck by a javelin on the spot, and fell to the ground with a scream. on the ground.

Seven or eight teenagers dressed in animal skins suddenly rushed out of the meadow like leopards, and started chasing the two wilderness horned deer that were running fast.

"This one can't run away, everyone go after the ones in front..." The boy who rushed to the front yelled, directing the actions of the other boys. Passing the place where the wilderness horned deer were just now, he pulled out the javelin stuck in the ground, and chased the fleeing wilderness horned deer.

These seven or eight teenagers are all only thirteen or fourteen years old, but their bodies have already developed quite burly, especially when running. In a short distance, the explosive power and speed of the teenagers are very amazing. The wilderness horned deer that had just started running couldn't completely distance themselves from the teenagers for a while.

The teenagers threw the javelins they carried while running, and the javelins thrown by the teenagers chased the silhouettes of the wilderness horned deer and stuck them on the ground or in the grass, making the fleeing wilderness horned deer even faster. After the two teenagers threw all the javelins on their bodies, another wilderness horned deer running at the end was stabbed by the javelins. Injured and fell to the ground.

The teenagers ignored the fallen prey, but continued to chase the remaining wilderness horned deer.

The teenagers chased the wilderness horned deer out of the sea buckthorn forest. The teenager is completely free.

In addition to the javelin, another weapon in the hands of the teenagers is the stumbling block.

"Get ready to stumble..." the boy who ran in the front shouted. All the chasing teenagers immediately took out the stumbling blocks they were carrying,

While running, he waved quickly.

"Let go!" As the first boy threw out the stumbling block in his hand, all the teenage boys also threw out their own stumbling block.

Under the acceleration of the huge centrifugal force, the stumbling block tied with a rope left the control of the boys' palms, and made a strange whining sound in the air, and flew towards the horned deer at a much faster speed than the boys. .

Most of the stumbling blocks failed, but there was still a stumbling block that was accurately wrapped around the leg of a wilderness horned deer during the flight, bringing the wilderness horned deer to the ground.

The teenagers cheered and caught up. Before the wilderness horned deer hit by the stumbling block struggled to stand up, several teenagers rushed up and pushed it to the ground again, and tied the limbs of the horned deer with the rope tied to the stumbling block , can no longer move.

"Ha, this is a female wilderness horned deer. It can be brought back to the village to be raised..." A young man yelled happily, "Now Ada will have deer milk to drink..."

"Joy, you are such a good brother. Why don't you tell your family that Ada will marry me when she grows up. I will wait for her for another ten years. Although Ada is only six years old now , but everyone in the village said that she must be a great beauty when she grows up!" a teenager joked.

"Get out!" The boy named Joey waved his fist, "My Ada will marry at least one Violent Bear Warrior in the future, that's what my father said. Let's talk about when you can become a Violent Bear Warrior!"

The boy named Joey spoke, but his eyes couldn't help but glanced at the boy who took the lead among all the boys. That boy was named Ivan, and he was recognized by the whole village as the most likely boy to become a bear warrior in the future. He is also the leader of their group.

Could it be that father and mother want to marry Ada to Ivan? A strange thought flashed in the boy named Joey. No, even if Ivan and I are friends, I can't easily take Ada away from me. I have to work hard to become a bear warrior, and then I can protect Ada well...

The boy who is the elder brother simply thought in his heart, thinking that Ada might be taken away by a man in the future, the boy felt as if his most beloved thing would be taken away by someone. Once again, he reaffirmed his motivation to become a powerful bear warrior.

"Pack up your things, let's hurry up and get out of here, this place is already a little far away from the village..." The boy named Ivan put away his javelin, and looked around vigilantly, "We have to catch up with the people before returning to the village." It’s a long way, and we have to go back before dark, if we encounter iron-toothed hyenas, we will be in trouble!”

Because the harvest was good this time, everyone was very happy. After listening to Ivan’s words, everyone speeded up their movements. The boy named Joey directly resisted the tied wilderness horned deer on his body. The 50-kilogram horned deer It didn't seem difficult to resist against a young man.

Everyone returned along the original road, and after quickly killing the two wilderness horned deer that had been injured and lost their mobility, the teenagers happily prepared to return to the village.

There is still more than 30 kilometers away from the village. If there is no delay, everyone should be able to return to the village before the sun sets.

Because the color of the surface soil and stones here is gray, so from a distance, except for those places covered by vegetation, the color of the entire hill is gray. No one knows why this strange color appears here. There is just a saying that the soil here and the stones on the surface were originally underground, and it seems to have a history of hundreds of millions of years. It was only after the cataclysm that they were plowed up from the ground due to violent geological actions. .

And for this reason. The soil here seems to contain some strange elements and nutrients that are rare in other places, so some special or higher value plants will grow here, although not all plants are suitable for growing here. But the plants that can grow here. All of them will grow very well, and there will even be some mutated plant varieties that can only be seen in this place.

And even in winter, the surface temperature here will be relatively higher than other places, and many plants that can no longer survive in other places can still grow here, which is the magic of this place.

There are more than one places like this in the entire ice and snow wasteland, but because it is relatively close to Eskil City. The straight-line distance is only more than 300 kilometers, so this place has become the most famous large medicinal material library in the entire ice and snow wasteland.

Just like the seabuckthorn forest that the youngsters saw when they hunted the wilderness horned deer just now, the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits of ordinary seabuckthorns all have very high medicinal and edible value, while those from the gray hill Sea buckthorn is a variety of sea buckthorn that lives in this land, so it is more valuable.

Especially the seabuckthorn oil here, the seabuckthorn oil produced in the ice and snow wasteland is the best in the entire Hawaiian subcontinent. It is also the most precious seabuckthorn oil. The seabuckthorn oil here is one of the most important export materials in Eskil City. The seabuckthorn oil in the ice and snow wasteland is almost a must-have for every pill pharmacist on the mainland in the pill pharmacy or raw material warehouse. things,

The teenagers carried today's harvest quickly through the gray hills. It took only an hour to walk seven or eight kilometers. The harvested prey was carried by several people in turn, without carrying The young man who was the prey held the weapon in his hand. Walk vigilantly at the front and back of the line.

The long-term cooperation has allowed the teenagers to develop a tacit understanding and know when to change shifts. Among all the teenagers, only Joey, who has just made up his mind again to become a bear warrior, is particularly persistent today. Taking the prey back to the village as an opportunity to exercise himself.

As the saying goes, come when you are afraid. The teenagers had just walked for more than an hour, and the thing that worried them most happened—they were targeted by a group of iron-toothed hyenas.

The iron-toothed hyena is very sensitive to the smell of dead animals. It has the nickname of the shark of the wasteland. An iron-toothed hyena can smell the blood of other animals from a distance of one or two kilometers, so that it can find itself along that smell. prey.

There were only five or six iron-toothed hyenas that appeared behind the group of teenagers at the beginning. After they appeared, they followed the teenagers carrying their prey leisurely. The number of teenagers and the weapons in their hands did not make them get too close. It's been following unhurriedly.

These iron-toothed hyenas look a bit like dogs, but their heads are shorter than dogs, and they look rounder, and their skulls are thicker. Their front half is stronger than their back half, and their body hair is rough and hard. Gray body With dark brown spots, it is especially easy to hide under the background color of this hill, and it is difficult to be spotted without getting close.

Of course, if anyone wants to treat them as dogs, they will definitely be eaten by them, and there will be no bones left. Really, there will be no bones left. The sharp jaws are best at crushing hard bones, and then allow it to lick the marrow inside the bones.

Bone marrow is a favorite of the irontooth hyena.

The iron-toothed hyenas that appeared behind those teenagers were all over 1.6 meters in length, and each of them exuded a cunning and vicious aura.

After being followed by those iron-toothed hyenas for a few minutes, seeing that they could not get rid of these iron-toothed hyenas, nor could they be killed, Ivan, one of the teenagers in the team, gave an order decisively.

"Leave a wasteland horned deer!"

Although he was a bit reluctant, a wilderness horned deer killed by the teenagers was quickly left behind the teenagers. Leaving a wilderness horned deer can increase the speed of action of the teenagers, freeing up one or two hands, It can also make the few iron-toothed hyenas behind them temporarily follow their footsteps.

Best to get rid of these hyenas like this.

When abandoning the wilderness horned deer, this is the most sincere thought in every teenager's heart. No one knows the horror of these iron-toothed hyenas better than them.

After dropping the wilderness horned deer, the teenagers ran, the still-living prey on Joey's body. It was also picked up by another person.

Just after the boys ran for a short distance, they all heard a terrible sound of teeth gnawing and grinding bones behind them.

The teenagers did not get rid of the pursuit of the iron-toothed hyenas, just after the few iron-toothed hyenas disappeared for less than five minutes, behind the boys. More iron-toothed hyenas began to appear. This time, there were no longer five iron-toothed hyenas, but a large group, indistinct, at least twenty or thirty.

When I saw those twenty or thirty iron-toothed hyenas. The faces of the teenagers suddenly changed. They knew that this time, it was really bad. The iron-toothed hyenas are used to hunting in groups, and the iron-toothed hyenas they encountered this time. Not three or five, but a herd of twenty or thirty iron-toothed hyenas.

This time, Ivan didn't even need to say anything, all the teenagers threw away the two wilderness horned deer they were still holding without thinking, and then started to run with all their strength, even Joey didn't say anything. Because people are alive, more than anything else. If there are no deer that can produce milk, they can be caught again, but once the human dies, there will be nothing left. Those iron-toothed hyenas now appearing behind them are beyond the limits of what they can handle.

The teenagers didn't expect to encounter a beast horde this time, and so many iron-toothed hyenas appeared so close to the village at one time. Far away is the traditional hunting range in their village, in the past. Even when the beast tide broke out, this area had a powerful deterrent effect on those wild beasts, but this time, so many iron-toothed hyenas appeared here at once, and they were no longer the threat. It's about the safety of their entire village.

The teenagers ran towards the direction of their village with all their strength, all out of breath, but before the teenagers ran two kilometers away, the iron-toothed hyena appeared again behind them, and each of them looked fiercely. watching them...

People can never outrun the iron-toothed hounds in the wild. If they continue to run, those iron-toothed hounds will only rush up when they are exhausted and easily suck up their bone marrow without leaving a drop.

The formation of the iron-toothed hounds following behind the teenagers began to spread out, and there was already a tendency to outflank the two sides.

Seeing a mountain wall in front of him, Ivan immediately yelled, "Where to form an formation..."

A few minutes later, the teenagers stood tightly together with their backs against a mountain wall, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and in front of them, a large group of iron-toothed hyenas slowly surrounded them.

Looking at those hyenas, the faces of the teenagers turned pale one by one. They knew that this time there was a lot of bad luck, but they didn't know how many iron-toothed hyenas they could get to put them at the bottom this time.

"Joy, think about it, what I just said is serious!" Among the teenagers, the boy who was joking with Joey more than an hour ago still forgot to add another sentence at this juncture.

"Damn it, let's wait until you survive!" Joey gave the bastard a hard look.

"You two shut up!" Ivan shouted.

Just as the group of iron-toothed hyenas got closer and closer, and the palms of the teenagers holding the javelins were already drenched with sweat, everyone suddenly heard a voice with obvious surprise.

"Wow, so many babies, you are all mine..."

The voice was full of surprise, and sounded from a distance, like a tomb robber who saw a pile of treasures when he opened the coffin, or a traveler who had been in the desert for a long time and saw an oasis full of life.

Hearing this voice, teenagers like Ivan and Joey were stunned for a moment. Such a voice appeared on such an occasion, which really made people feel astonished, and what was even more incomprehensible was the meaning of these words—baby? Is there any treasure here, these iron-toothed hyenas or something else?

Just when the teenagers thought they had auditory hallucinations, a sound sounded, it was like a beep, and it was a bit like the subtle friction sound of a gear mechanism, very pleasant to the ear...

As soon as this sound sounded, one of the group of iron-toothed hyenas surrounding several teenagers burst out with bloody blood without even barking. Only metal crossbow arrows penetrated and killed.

The force of the metal crossbow arrow was very powerful, and it was extremely powerful. After killing the iron-toothed hyena, the crossbow arrow continued to be powerful, and it completely sank into the ground. This kind of power directly shocked the teenagers.

From this moment on, in front of several teenagers, the strange buzzing sound began to rang densely and at an extremely fast frequency, with an average of three or four beeps per second, and every time that sound sounded, several people around One of the boy's iron-toothed hyenas was about to explode with a snowflake, and then fell down in a bloody mess.

Everything that just happened was too fast, not to mention a few teenagers, even those iron-toothed hyenas did not react. By the time those iron-toothed hyenas reacted, seventeen or eight iron-toothed hyenas had already been killed ...

In the eyes of several teenagers, a guy rushed down from the distant hillside. The speed of that person was very fast, and he was holding a huge crossbow-like thing in his hand. None of the teenagers had ever seen such a big thing. The strange machine crossbow, the strange buzzing sound, came from the thing that the man was holding,

That person rushed over quickly, holding that thing and shooting at those iron-toothed hyenas. His arrows hit the target without missing a beat, which directly chilled people's hearts. In the blink of an eye, several iron-toothed hyenas were killed. Just now He also wailed at the iron-toothed hyenas who were staring at several teenagers, and turned and fled one by one. The man seemed to have never seen those teenagers at all, and he took the thing in his hand and moved towards him without even saying hello. Those iron-toothed hyenas chased them out...

In the blink of an eye, a few more fleeing iron-toothed hyenas burst into blood.

"Baby, don't run away..." the man yelled...

The teenagers looked at each other, who is this strange guy... Users please go to m to read.)
