Chapter 70 Rolling Stone Mountain
After recalling the surrounding terrain, Fengyun soon had a target.
Not too far away is a mountain named Rolling Stone Mountain, which is very desolate.
Although it has not yet reached the point where there is no grass, but at a glance, most of the places are gray-white rocks.
It will be violently named Rolling Stone Mountain, not only because of its desolation, but more because of its unique state.
Even if there is no disturbance, there will often be many stones rolling down.
There is often no warning before the stone rolls down, which is very dangerous.
It is even more dangerous if you climb it.
I don't know which foot to step on, and the stone under my feet will collapse.
The stones of Rolling Stone Mountain are also very deceptive. It is difficult to judge whether they are strong from the outside. Some seemingly strong stones will collapse immediately as long as a small force is applied.
Fengyun's destination this time is Rolling Stone Mountain.
Although Rolling Stone Mountain is very dangerous, it is a very good hunting ground.
A wild beast called Panhorn Sheep chose Rolling Stone Mountain as its habitat.
The danger of Rolling Stone Mountain was cleverly used by them, and it became a natural barrier for them to resist the attacks of natural enemies, preventing them from being hunted by them.
Panhorn sheep are different from ordinary sheep in that they have strong climbing ability and can walk freely on almost straight rock walls.
In addition, they also have a special ability.
They can accurately judge which stone on Rolling Stone Mountain is dangerous and which one is safe, so Rolling Stone Mountain, which is almost a forbidden area for other animals, has become their back garden.
There are advantages and disadvantages, which also exposed the whereabouts of the Panhorn sheep.
In addition, the stones of Rolling Stone Mountain are too fragile to form caves. Most of the panhorn sheep can only rest in the open air, and it is relatively easy to find them.
If Fengyun can climb Rolling Stone Mountain, he will be sure to hunt Panhorn sheep.
As for the risk that Rolling Stone Mountain would bring to him, Feng Yun didn't take it very seriously.
Don't say that Bao has revealed the secret of Rolling Stone Mountain to him, even relying on his own ability to go up the mountain is not a big problem.
With his skill and reaction, he can easily resolve most of the dangers. Even if he encounters an extreme situation and rolls down the mountain with the falling rocks, with his physical strength, it will not cause too much damage.
After about an hour, Fengyun arrived at the foot of Rolling Stone Mountain.
Before he got close, a lot of stones rolled down in front of him accompanied by puffs of smoke.
In the process of rolling all the way, they collided violently with other stones, made a loud noise, and splashed a lot of sparks.
Regardless of their danger, the scene before Feng Yun's eyes can be regarded as a strange sight.
Fengyun paid no attention to the falling rocks that almost passed by, and gathered his eyes to observe the mountain body of Rolling Stone Mountain.
He was looking for a safe way up the mountain.
As long as it is stepped on, it will leave marks, and rocks are no exception.
Panhorn sheep can make sure that the rocks they step on are safe, and they will leave marks on those rocks.
It may not be noticeable once, but many times, even over time, it will become very obvious.
Animals have a characteristic that if they find a road safe, they will walk along it until something happens.
Panhorn sheep also have this characteristic.
They will go up and down the mountain along a relatively fixed path, leaving more obvious traces over time.
The hunters in the Yan Snake Tribe discovered and mastered this secret.
The hunting of panhorn sheep has become a reserved item of the tribe's annual winter hunting.
Even in order to make the panhorn sheep live a more stable life, breed more offspring, and grow fatter,
The hunters in the tribe seldom go to Rolling Stone Mountain to hunt on weekdays, so as not to disturb them.
After some observation, Fengyun has a clear idea of the path up the mountain.
Even though it was dark now, with his eyesight, it was not difficult to see the situation clearly.
I checked my clothes to make sure there was nothing hanging about my clothes.
He has found a way up the mountain, but there are many footholds that are not connected. Sometimes the distance between two footholds is even several feet, and if one is not careful, he may step on the air.
During the annual winter hunting of the Yan Snake Tribe, the hunters who drive the Panhorn sheep up the mountain are the best among the hunters. Even so, there are still frequent casualties.
Tightening the spear in his hand, Feng Yun lifted his foot and stomped heavily on a rock, like a powerful arrow that left the bowstring, flying twenty or thirty feet away.
When the body was falling, the spear in his hand stuck out, hit a point on a large falling rock, used his strength to fly into the air, and continued to shoot up the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, he passed the rolling stone area at the foot of the mountain, which was more than five hundred feet long.
This part is the first barrier to prevent other beasts and humans from going up the mountain, and it is also the best place for Panhorn sheep to show their special abilities.
Since there are often stones rolling down the mountain, adding to the rolling stone area at the foot of the mountain will also cause disturbance to them.
Therefore, their status is constantly changing, and it is difficult to find the so-called safe path. Panhorn sheep also rely on their special abilities to pass.
Almost every winter hunter is injured in the process of passing through this rolling stone area during winter hunting.
Fengyun went up the mountain extremely fast.
Although compared to the tall mountain, he is just an insignificant little guy, but his jumping power is really good.
It can rise several feet with a single jump.
Due to his strong control over power, the spear in Fengyun's hand seemed to be his third leg.
Most of the time, he didn't need his feet to be in direct contact with the rock at all, as long as he tapped the spear lightly and borrowed his strength, he could continue to climb up the mountain, and the effect was not bad at all.
After a while, Fengyun approached a depression below the top of the mountain.
This depression is the place with the most lush vegetation in the entire Rolling Stone Mountain, almost completely covering the rocks.
Perhaps because of the existence of vegetation, the rock mass there is relatively stable, and it has become the main resting area for argali sheep.
Panhorn sheep are also very smart, they never eat the vegetation in that depression.
The spear lightly tapped on a protruding rock, and Fengyun used his strength to move sideways, drifting three or four feet away, and landed next to a big tree on the edge of the depression.
He squatted down beside the big tree, using the vegetation to cover his figure.
Panhorn sheep also have pretty good night vision and are very vigilant. At night, there are special sheep standing on high places to guard. Once they find other wild animals approaching, they will immediately sound the alarm.
Since the hunters of the Flame Snake Tribe come to hunt the Panhorn sheep every year, they have already regarded humans as their enemies. If the sheep in charge of vigilance find him, they will definitely raise the alarm immediately.
He just wanted to hunt one or two arbor sheep quietly for food, and he didn't think about scaring them.
The hunters of the Yan Snake Tribe do not often come to Rolling Stone Mountain to hunt, just to reduce the vigilance of the Panhorn sheep, thereby reducing the difficulty of winter hunting.
Gently pushing aside the blades of grass in front of him, Feng Yun looked at the situation in the depression through the gaps between the vegetation.
What caught his eyes was a large area of gray and yellow.
Grey-yellow is the basic color of Panhorn sheep. They are connected together because there are a lot of them and they are all crowded together.
"There are a lot of them. It seems that today's winter hunting should have a good harvest."
Fengyun nodded, and was very satisfied with the number of Panhorn sheep.
Their growth is also very good, all of them are fat and strong.
He would think of hunting the panhorn sheep, but in fact it was also to complete a task assigned by Bao.
Bao once told him to check the population status of Panhorn sheep when he had time, so as to make a reference for the estimation of winter hunting production.
Hunting Panhorn sheep occupies a very important position in the annual winter hunting of the Yan Snake Tribe, and each time it can account for one-tenth of the total harvest, or even higher.
If the population status of argali sheep is not ideal, in order to ensure the total output of winter hunting, it is necessary to tilt to other hunting grounds and increase the hunting quantity of other wild animals to make up for this part of the shortfall.
vice versa.
Soon, other hunting grounds will also be visited by dedicated hunters to prepare for winter hunting.
Bao asked Fengyun to inquire about the situation of the Panhorn Sheep because he took a fancy to his skill and could deal with the dangerous terrain of Rolling Stone Mountain.
Fengyun's eyes left the flock of Panjiao sheep, and began to look for the sheep in charge of vigilance.
If you want to hunt quietly, you must not disturb them.
After some searching, Fengyun found a total of four panhorn sheep serving as security missions.
They are not particularly tall in the whole population, but they are very alert, with smart eyes, looking around from time to time, not only paying attention to the downhill, but also looking up at the sky.
They are also well-chosen, with a wide field of vision, and it is extremely difficult to escape their sight.
Fengyun frowned slightly, the situation was more difficult than he expected.
It is quite difficult to avoid their surveillance, and it is even more difficult to complete the hunt under their noses, almost an impossible task.
The frown quickly subsided, and his eyes began to light up, full of fighting spirit.
Only when there is difficulty can there be a challenge, and he can just use this extremely difficult hunt to test the results of his special training with Bao.
Fengyun expanded the scope of observation, not only including the flock of Panjiao sheep and the sheep responsible for vigilance, but also the entire depression into the field of vision, and even extended further.
"Just now, I was scaring myself a little bit. It's not too difficult."
The expansion of reconnaissance brought Fengyun a harvest, and also opened a gap for his extremely difficult hunting this time.
Although the vision of the four eyes responsible for vigilance is very good, it is impossible for them to see every corner.
The vegetation in the depression provided help for the panhorn flock, but also blocked part of the vision of the vigilant sheep.
As long as he uses that part of the vegetation to block him, he can get close to the sheep without anyone noticing.
As long as you keep him close, it shouldn't be too hard to stun the target sheep without disturbing the flock.
"Meh..."
Just as Fengyun deduced the specific whereabouts plan, a high-pitched and mournful sheep cry woke him up.
"Find me? Impossible? I haven't taken any action yet."
Fengyun showed a look of astonishment, but he soon discovered that it was not he who alarmed the guard sheep.
The target came from a sky, and a black shadow was approaching rapidly.
