Age of Behemoths

Qin Jixun and Shen Yifei knew very well that it was impossible for them to leave this place in a short time.Even if you want to rush into the ice and snow world outside again, you must have sufficient food reserves and all the family members, big and small, are healthy and strong.Because rushing out in this situation is certain death, no matter how dangerous it is to stay here, at least there is still a glimmer of life.

What I have now is just a doubt and a question.

The doubt is, listening to what Sun Heng said, especially about how they dealt with the insect corpses, it feels like they have been in this place for a long time.However, it has been more than two months since the sudden change in the weather, less than three months, so why didn't they leave in the face of the threat of insect corpses?

This doubt can be put aside for the time being and resolved later.What needs to be solved now is the imminent problem, and the problem that makes both of them entangled - whether to join the small human group or not.

If they join, the advantage is that they can live in sheltered houses again, and hunting is more convenient.But of course, this convenience does not mean that they just enjoy not working, neither of them have that kind of habit.But at least there are people familiar with the terrain, and more collaborators.If what that person said was true, then there would be more people fighting side by side when insect corpses attacked.

But the disadvantages are even more obvious, so many bodies of the dead are still lying in the ground.Could the relatives and friends of those people have no hostility towards Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun?

The most obvious advantage of not joining is that they don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.In particular, although animals are sensitive, they are also innocent. No one knows what will happen when they stay with people with unclear purposes.Although they didn't have so many mutants fighting side by side, the fighting power of the mammoth mother didn't know how many mutants they could stand up to.The only thing to worry about is that the abilities of the worm corpses are the same as that of the mutants, they are all kinds of strange, and the animals may have more difficulty coping with them.

The downside is that it's likely to turn that human camp into a hostile force as well, or at least they'll have to guard against each other.In this way, in this seemingly large shelter, which is actually not too wide, their safe activity space will be further compressed.

Both of them are thinking hard, there is no distinction between pros and cons, even if he puts forward different opinions, he will always stand in the same camp - all for the continued survival of himself and his family.

The next day, the two of them already had an idea. They got up together in the morning and set off. Originally, they were heading towards the lake, but now they turned slightly and rushed into the dense forest.This time it was the mammoth mother who pulled the sled. Gradually, the mammoth mother found the rhythm and the most moderate speed of pulling the sled.Shen Yifei took Big Big Wolf and the other three giant wolves and split up with them. They were going to hunt.

And with Big Big Wolf's nose, Shen Yifei wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to find the camp.

The movement of the mammoth mother's running startled the beasts living in the dense forest from a long distance away.If Shen Yifei and the others followed the mammoth mother, they would return empty-handed unless they found the beast that couldn't leave because of brooding like yesterday.But after being separated from the mammoth mother, this news became their cover instead.

Not long after they separated, Big Big Wolf suddenly changed its direction. The other three wolves and Shen Yifei all changed their direction as fast as they could and kept up with it—no matter how they usually are, Big Big Wolf is an excellent leader when hunting .

After running for another 2 minutes, Big Big Wolf's footsteps became slower and slower...

Shen Yifei, who tried hard to use the trees to hide himself, finally found the prey they were hunting. It was a very beautiful deer, which was different from those big-horned deer he had seen before. Although these deer were bigger than the deer he had seen before Three or four times higher, but they don't look huge at all, but they make people feel delicate.

Their fur is pure white, without the slightest variegation, but the stag's antlers are an overly conspicuous dark red in a black and white world.Shen Yifei simply called them snow deer. In his sight, there were twenty or thirty snow deer in this herd, including strong males and females with young deer.

The snow around here is already very thin, and you can almost see the grass blades below, and even some dark green plants that look like moss, growing vigorously under the thin snow. This group of deer Life is very leisurely.

Big Big Wolf has already led the giant wolves to lower their bodies and carefully move towards the herd of deer.Shen Yifei stopped when he was 50 meters away from the nearest deer.Now is not the time for him to use his special ability to gamble on whether the deer will accept him, and even if hunting like that is easy, there will be no joy of a good harvest.And now this distance is the shortest distance he can be sure that the deer will not find him.He didn't have a protective look, and if he continued to approach, there would be no cover for him to continue approaching.

Shen Yifei could only hide behind the tree a little wretchedly, watching Big Big Wolf, the first time these big guys attacked, he would follow and rush out!

Suddenly, the Big Big Wolf, which lowered its waist and crawled forward, stopped moving when it was about 15 meters away from the prey, and it stopped.The other giant wolves scattered in their respective positions also stopped.Big Big Wolf moved on the spot, but it just tilted his head. If it wasn't too cold, he would even think that this big guy was hiding from flies.But the other giant wolves that had stopped moved, just a slight adjustment, but from Shen Yifei's perspective, he could clearly see that a stag and two female deer had been enveloped in the fan shape formed by the dead wolves.

Shen Yifei didn't know who Big Big Wolf's main target would be, maybe even all of them.But every time he saw these giant wolves hunting with telepathy, he would be amazed.Even he and Qin Jixun still need some gestures to communicate, how could they know what the other party is going to do just by tilting their heads?

Big Big Wolf's movements changed again, and Shen Yifei also didn't know why it didn't turn around, and could sense whether its companions were ready or not.But now, its entire body language clearly expresses the meaning of "this is not the preparation stage, I will attack immediately", and the other giant wolves, together with their leader, adjusted their posture within a few seconds. state.

Every muscle in these hunters is now full of thirst for blood.

Shen Yifei was also infected by them, his muscles tensed and his heart beat faster...

attack!

The hunting of the four wolves, the order is also silent, only the leader leads by example!The silver-gray shadow rushed towards the prey that lowered its head and gnawed on the blades of grass in an instant. It was two snow deer, one male and one female.Many herbivores close their eyes when eating to prevent blades of grass from piercing their eyes, and these deer do the same.Because of the distance, Shen Yifei was two steps slower.

When he rushed to the front of the herd, the female deer had already been bitten by two giant wolves by the neck and the snout by the other, and fell to the ground.The stag, which was one size bigger than the female deer, was much stronger. When Hui Tailang first rushed towards it, it shook its neck when it touched its head, and its dark red antlers almost swept Hui Tailang's head directly.

The Monkey Head, who followed Big Big Wolf to attack, seized the right moment and bit the back of the stag's neck.The stag raised its front hooves, trying to throw the monkey head out, but the monkey head's mouth bit it tightly.The repelled Big Big Wolf wanted to rush over, and the stag rushed out. Although the monkey head was still hanging on it, it avoided the Big Big Wolf's pounce.

Shen Yifei also arrived at this time, and jumped out without even thinking about the situation.As soon as he hugged the deer's neck, the stag dragged one of its front paws to grab it, and its mouth was biting the wolf, and there was a man hugging his neck, running wildly.The height of the stag, Shen Yifei hugged its neck, his feet couldn't even touch the ground, tried to grab its fur, and climbed up its back.

The stag probably thought that wolves were more threatening than humans, so he slammed straight into the tree. The monkey head had no choice but to let go of its mouth because it didn't want to be hit with broken bones.But this also slowed down the stag's own speed. From an angle that Shen Yifei couldn't see, Big Big Wolf pounced on it and tore a piece of flesh from the stag's thigh.Shen Yifei finally climbed onto the stag's back, grabbed the stag's fur with one hand, and took the ax off the back with the other hand, and struck it on the spot where the monkey's head bit it just now, blood spurted out instantly.

——Even if it is the first time to face this kind of beast, the wolves seem to have a natural hunting instinct, knowing where the prey's weakness is...

Getting off the snow deer that was hesitant due to excessive blood loss, Shen Yifei was the first to meet the flying lick of Big Big Wolf. It and the monkey head running behind didn't care about the prey, but threw themselves on Shen Yifei's body. Around him, licking and rubbing, as if celebrating something.

Due to physiological reasons (the tongue is not that long and not that big), Shen Yifei can't lick them back, and can only rub their wolf fur enthusiastically.After about two or three minutes of celebration, Big Big Wolf and Hericium finally stopped and lay down on Snow Deer's wound to suck the still warm blood.

From their vantage point, they could see the other two wolves also drinking the blood of their prey.But they don't eat meat.Shen Yifei didn't know if all the wolves were like this, or only theirs. When they hunted outside, they would not touch them and drag them back home to divide them.

But today... the prey is too rich, and it is a bit difficult to pull it back...

That night, Sun Heng placed the new campsite on time amidst the aroma of roasted venison.

Shen Yifei was sitting by the campfire eating venison, Qin Jixun walked over to deal with this unwelcome guest: "Thank you for your kindness, but we are used to being wild, so we should just stay outside."
