Chapter 193 Collaboration
Blood splashed everywhere, and the bear's mouth was knocked crooked.
The thin man fell down and hit the giant bear's shoulder, rolling down along its smooth fur, grabbing the spear with one hand.
The spear was stuck in the bear's back, which had already made it bleed profusely. Now with the weight of a living person on it, it was so painful that it scratched with its claws.
Fortunately, with the help of this stagnation, the thin man had stabilized his body and climbed down the tree quickly with his hands and feet.
He had just stood firm when he saw the giant bear falling from the sky and hitting the ground with a bang, splashing mud and dust all over his face.
"Ah, huh, huh, huh!" The thin man hurriedly stepped back a few steps and saw the giant bear prostrated on the ground, motionless, and he didn't know whether he was dead or fainted.
Six or seven people came out from the trees, the woods, and the sorghum fields and surrounded the giant bear.
The thin man gasped for air and spoke incoherently: "Poison, didn't they say that if I hold on for twenty breaths, it will, will be poisoned to death?"
He was chased for half a cup of tea, and he was about to vomit bile and sweat. This bear is really stubborn, chasing him instead of others!
"The bear is too big, and the medicine is insufficient." The only female soldier in the team carried a bow on her back, "Didn't you add two more arrows?"
She had thin eyebrows and eyes, and her face was tanned by the sun on the Chiba Plateau, and her facial features looked tough.
The thin man was still very angry: "You are too bad! It was the Broken Knife who saved me." Otherwise, the bear would have chewed him like a grape and had his mouth full of juice, "Huh? Where is the Broken Knife?"
"Here."
Another person came out from behind the tree and just picked up the knife that had exploded the bear's cheek.
It was He Lingchuan.
In this team of nine people, he nicknamed himself "Broken Knife".
The basic unit of the Panlong Patrol Army is the "fire", usually also called a squad. Every ten people form a fire, and there is a fire chief. This team lost two people not long ago, and another He Lingchuan was added, so there are only nine people for the time being.
Fire chief Liu Tong pulled the spear back from the bear: "Don't chat, get down to business first! Willow, you chop off the bear's head."
Willow is the female archer who shot arrows just now. She has a graceful figure and does look a bit like willow.
After the fire chief made such an assignment, the thin man curled his lips and felt indignant. According to the unwritten rules of the patrol army, the person who beheads or chops off the ears in a team will get the greatest credit. He contributed the most in the bear-killing operation and paid the highest price. Logically, he should chop off the bear's head.
However, Willow has the longest seniority in the team, second only to the fire chief, and is also the main attacker.
She took the giant axe from her teammate.
Even when the bear demon was lying down, it was still as tall as a small mountain. She had no choice but to step on the bear's head with one foot, hold the axe with both hands, and chop it down fiercely.
Before the axe blade reached the neck, the unconscious giant bear suddenly jumped up.
Liu Tiao was unstable and had no time to retreat. The giant bear grabbed her calf with one claw, and she screamed in pain.
The giant bear held her down and was about to tear her alive.
Tigers and leopards would strangle their prey by the throat and eat them after they died, but bears often like to disembowel their prey and eat them alive.
The giant bear also knew that its life was coming to an end. It only wanted to cut open her chest, tear apart her intestines, and vent all its hatred on its opponent.
Just as its fangs were about to pierce into Liu Tiao's belly, a cold light suddenly flashed above it.
The bear's head suddenly fell off, and the hot blood from its neck sprayed all over Liu Tiao's head and mouth.
It was the thin man who was closest to it who picked up the axe and brought it down with his hand.
The bear's head rolled twice on the ground, and the upper and lower steel teeth suddenly closed with a "click", and the scarlet eyes were still wide open.
Willow Tiao, who was pressed under the huge bear body, shuddered when she saw this.
If she had been a breath later, there would have been a big hole in her belly.
This time the bear monster was really dead, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Help me..." Willow Tiao asked for help with difficulty.
The team members tried hard to push the bear corpse away, and Willow Tiao cried out in pain, because the bear's claws were still hooked on her calf, and the wound was bloody.
Another big man "Menban" replaced the wound medicine and helped Willow Tiao treat the wound. Liu Tong said to the others: "Go dig a pit and bury the villagers."
The team members returned to the village and looked for hoes and pickaxes.
The ground was in a mess here, with a big hole in the wooden house, and overturned furniture everywhere. The body could be found along the bloodstains.
The bear monster killed eight people, but only ate children and teenagers, especially liked to eat eyeballs, and the remains were horrible.
One of the team members joined the army three months ago and had seen dead people before, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw the dead man's mouth opened wide, and a pair of bloody holes without eyeballs stared at him.
He couldn't help it and vomited.
The scene was too tragic, and it also shocked He Lingchuan. He turned his head and silently said to himself, "This is a dream."
Everyone quietly collected the body and took it to the open space behind the village to bury it properly.
The bear monster rushed out of the mountain. The Military Merit Department received a request for help from the village, so it sent He Lingchuan's team to eliminate the monster.
Everyone was digging holes and communicating at the same time, and they all said that the monsters eliminated recently were much more powerful than those a few months ago.
In the world of Panlong City, it has been two months since Emperor Liujiang appeared in the world, and the sequelae of the Emperor Liujiang incident have also been revealed, that is, new monsters that have been enlightened in the entire Panlong Wasteland have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and old monsters are becoming more powerful.
A new monster that has just attained enlightenment is like a young boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. His strength and confidence increase dramatically, and he has the illusion that he is the best in the world. His intelligence is still a little confused, but his temper becomes extremely immature and violent, and it takes several months for the temper to slowly subside.
At this time, they are a great threat to humans. Whether in Panlong Wasteland or Chiba Plateau, reports of monster attacks are endless. Population is one of the most valuable resources of Panlong City, and the authorities will not let man-eating monsters go unpunished.
Since joining the patrol team, He Lingchuan has carried out seven missions to eliminate monsters. The old team members said that the Chiba Plateau before Emperor Liujiang was very peaceful, and it might not have accumulated so many cases in half a year.
Before the burial, He Lingchuan reached out and closed the eyes of the deceased.
This is the experience he must endure.
Fighting and killing are the best ways to sharpen the blade and will.
But human life is so fragile, whether in Panlong City or the real world.
Menban found a few incense sticks and lit them on the grave, reciting eulogies, wishing them to be reborn in the kingdom of God.
He Lingchuan has heard it many times and knows that the object of their prayer is "Mitian Niangniang", that is, the god who gave the Dafang Pot and General Hong and has been protecting Panlong City.
After taking care of the villagers' funeral, the team found a forage cart to carry the bear's body, and then put on the horses and headed for Panlong City.
This was the team's trophy. The bear's head was to be sent to the Military Merit Department as a token for registration, and the rest was distributed by the fire chief to the team members. Those with more merits would get more, and those with less merits would get less.
As soon as they loaded the bear's body, a huge sika deer suddenly walked out of the woods. Moss had grown on its spectacular crown branches, and two small flowers were blooming. It was not afraid of people either. It came over and spoke in human language: "Qianling Shanze asked me to tell you that many unfamiliar monsters appeared near Baitou Mountain, including birds and beasts."
Fire chief Liu Tong stepped forward: "Aren't they new monsters?"
"No." The sika deer said, "They appeared with the new monster wave after Emperor Liujiang, trying to get away with it. But Shanze judged that they were from outside."
"Thank you for letting us know, we will report it as soon as possible."
After Emperor Liujiang came out, there were many unexpected things, some of which were caused by God and some by man.
The sika deer nodded, turned around and walked slowly into the forest.
As the overlord of the wilderness, Panlong City firmly controls the entire Chipa Plateau behind it. The mountains, lakes and water spirits here are all appointed by it to perform the duties of collaborative management.
Otherwise, the plateau is so vast and empty, and the enemy's spies and spies can always come up. How can Panlong City's manpower drive them away?
At this time, the Chipa Plateau was covered with forests on the upper slopes of the distant slopes, showing the majestic mountains and the rivers were as clear as jade belts, winding in the golden wilderness.
The vastness and magnificence of the world was enough to sweep away the misery and anger that everyone had just experienced.
He Lingchuan took a long breath, and the air here seemed to be sweet.
But he had indeed seen the Chipa Plateau two hundred years later.
What kind of power can turn the smart and beautiful mountains and rivers into a dry and monotonous sea of sand?
Now, he may be walking in a world constructed by this power.
Thinking about it makes me a little excited.
Not long after, the team returned to Panlong City and went straight to the Military Merit Department.
After the task is completed, they can distribute the spoils.
Panlong City is prosperous in all kinds of industries, with a very detailed division of labor. There are even professional hunting houses for patrol guards to deal with the spoils obtained in the wild. Bear monsters are one of the most popular species. Their claws can be used to refine weapons, their fur can be used to make soft armor and cloaks, and their gallbladders, eyeballs and inner elixir can be used to refine medicine. They are full of treasures.
He Lingchuan was also thinking in his mind that after receiving the credit this time, the accumulated military merits should be enough to exchange for another magical power.
He had already seen it, and he wanted the art of "Li Dai Tao Jiang".
The description of this magical power is also very simple: it can make the user and a specific "Cicada Shell" instantly exchange positions, provided that both parties are in the same space and the distance is no more than five feet, and it can only be used once every three hours.
Just this sentence, the usage scenario is enough to make people imagine. Needless to say, Li Dai Tao Jiang not only makes He Lingchuan's fighting methods more flexible, but also adds a life-saving skill.
As for the spoils, He Lingchuan got half a bear paw, a bear kidney, and the thin man handed him an eyeball.
This is also an unwritten rule. If your life is saved by your teammates, you must be rewarded in kind. So He Lingchuan did not refuse and happily accepted it.
Few people eat this kind of tonic directly. He Lingchuan can ask A Luo to make it into a pill, or hand it over to the Military Merit Department in exchange for credit, or sell it directly. There are many uses.
The thin man over there was listless.
Originally, he led the bear to run wildly as bait today, but was slapped by the bear and fell to a tree, and a talisman was scrapped.
If there is no protection of this talisman, I am afraid that the bear monster will be able to open a skylight on his back with one palm.
This kind of life-saving thing is not cheap. He felt distressed when he thought about it, and his back was still a little painful.
At this time, Willow Tiao came over and gave him the most valuable bear gallbladder to thank him for saving his life. The latter's resentment disappeared immediately, and he smiled with teeth showing.
