Ta's hunting team was about to set off again. The people in the tribe were used to seeing a different animal on the Path of Glory. So far, it was the only animal that could hunt with the team.
At first, no one thought that Caesar could be so successful, and that he could follow the hunting team for several times in a row.
Now, there were two scars on Caesar's body. The wounds had healed, but the hair on the wounds had not grown back. The wounds looked very obvious. They were caused by an adult giant-clawed beast during one of the hunting trips.
That time, the Shao Xuan was shocked. If Caesar had reacted a little slower, he would have been cut in half by the giant-clawed beast's claws. Later, when they returned to the tribe, the Shao Xuan planned to let Caesar rest a few more times. Unexpectedly, on the next hunting trip, Caesar took the initiative to follow them again, and the Shao Xuan could not drive him away.
He liked to run in the forest, and he liked to hunt prey that were much bigger than him. Every time the hunting time approached, Caesar would be very excited. When he was recuperating, the Shao Xuan asked him to stay in the tribe, and the whole wolf became listless.
Now, the wounds were all healed, but the hair did not grow back. Mai and the others said that the hair around the two scars might not grow back.
Just like the people in the tribe, the scars on the body were the proof of battle achievements, proving that they had faced prey that was stronger than them. Therefore, the scars on Caesar's body did not make people doubt Caesar's ability. On the contrary, they praised him.
This time, before entering the forest, several team leaders talked for a short while, and one of them mentioned Caesar.
The other four were very envious of Mai. Since they had Caesar, Mai and the others had several unexpected surprises. From the fire crystals at the beginning to some hard-to-find medicinal materials, they were all found by Caesar's wolf nose. In addition, when hunting, he could also help attack. How could they not be envious?
"By the way, Mai, you should pay attention to the ferocious beasts and wild animals in the hunting area. There may be some changes." Said Cheng.
"Speaking of changes, there seems to be some. The giant-antler deer herd, the bison herd, and even the wolves seem to have changed. "Mai also said.
"What happened?"
The other team leaders also asked curiously. After all, the forest was so big, and the hunting area was only a small part of it. Generally speaking, the wild beasts and ferocious beasts in the forest would not change their living area at will, unless the seasons changed. Most of the time, they would stay in their own territory to hunt.
However, Cheng Hemai said that there were changes in the area where the wild beasts and ferocious beasts were active. This was unusual.
"Did something happen on your side again?" One of the team leaders asked, referring to the strange bat incident at the beginning of the year.
"No, it's not." Cheng shook his head. "But it does have something to do with those bats."
The bats had gone to take over a large territory. All the ferocious beasts on the mountain had been chased away, and the ferocious beasts that had left had to look for new territories. The battle had been going on until now. Coupled with the threat of the bats themselves, a large area of wild beasts and ferocious beasts in the surrounding area had changed.
The birth of a powerhouse would cause a large-scale restructuring of the local power structure.
In addition to the new mountain occupied by the bats, there were also changes in the giant pit.
Cheng planned to go to the giant pit again to see if he could dig out something, but when he went again, he could not enter. The giant pit, as well as the stone crevices and caves, were all filled with poisonous miasma. There used to be some sparse grass on the top of the mountain, but now it was all dead. The whole place looked gloomy and horrible.
"Did those bats go back?" Mai asked.
"I don't know. I didn't see any bats there." Cheng said.
"Then they shouldn't. It's probably caused by the dead bats and other animals in the cave." A team leader said.
Hundreds of ferocious beasts and bats in the transformation period all died in there. They probably caused the formation of the poisonous miasma.
The first three members of Cheng's team to go missing were sent back to the tribe and treated for a long time. It was obvious that the poisonous miasma was very powerful. Even if the others were unconscious, Shao Xuan quickly carried them out of the poisonous miasma area. They did not stay there for long.
Knowing how powerful the miasma was, Cheng did not dare to rush in with the others. He had to give up and ask the others to stay away.
The mountain where the giant pit was located and the territory occupied by the bats were not on Mai's hunting route, but they would affect their hunting.
"Don't mess with those bats." Mai said.
"Of course I know." Cheng understood, but he was not willing to give up and just complained.
After entering the forest, the hunting groups split up. Mai led the others to the hunting area of the first stronghold to hunt.
There was nothing different on the first day, but Mai also told the others in the hunting group to be careful during this period. There might be some ferocious beasts that had not appeared in this hunting area before. They should also pay attention to the changes in the herd.
There was a giant-antler deer herd in the hunting area of the first stronghold. Mai led the others there to hunt.
"Mai, have you noticed that we have not encountered the wolves that used to attack the giant-antler deer herd several times?" A middle-aged warrior in the hunting group said to Mai.
"Yes." Mai did not say anything.
Caesar didn't encounter that pack of wolves during his first hunting trip. Everyone in the hunting group had been worried about what would happen if Caesar encountered that pack of wolves. However, they hadn't encountered any of them this year. The first time was because of an accident and they left the hunting route. The second time, they only saw a few wolves from the original pack from afar, and those wolves didn't look so good at that time.
Until now, they had not seen a single wolf, which was a bit strange. That pack of wolves should have appeared around the giant-antler deer herd, but …
"Everyone, be careful." Mai said.
Without the wolves to compete with them for the giant-antler deer, every time the hunting group came, they would hunt a lot of giant-antler deer.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Several spears appeared on two giant-antler deer that were distracted by the appearance of Caesar.
Lang Ga and the others dragged the two giant-antler deer to the side and quickly dealt with them. They would bring them back later.
Caesar jumped on the back of an old giant-antler deer and bit its neck. However, compared to the giant-antler deer, Caesar did not have much advantage in terms of size. Even though the giant-antler deer was old, its strength was still not to be underestimated.
After getting rid of Caesar, the giant-antler deer ran away. Caesar could not catch up with it. After chasing for a while, he slowed down and looked at the deer that ran farther and farther away.
Lang Ga and the others, who were dealing with the prey, had been paying attention to that side. The bitten giant-antler deer had already run away and only a small shadow could be seen. They were about to comfort Caesar. After all, Caesar had helped a lot during these hunting trips. He would not cause trouble like the cubs in the tribe. Everyone had a better impression of him and was not so afraid of him.
Just as they were about to say something, everyone's eyes froze. Lang Ga and the others stopped what they were doing. Especially Caesar, who was about to turn back. Unexpectedly, the moment before he turned back, he saw that the giant-antler deer was bitten by a big wolf that suddenly jumped out.
The huge impact made the giant-antler deer stumble and fall. It struggled to stand up, but the reality did not give it a chance. Then the second, the third …
A group of wolves surrounded the giant-antler deer. Even from a distance, Lang Ga could see the bloody meat that was bitten and thrown out.
"Those wolves …" Lang Ga had a bad feeling.
"They are not from the previous wolf group." Mai's face darkened.
Every hunting team had a certain understanding of the prey and predators in their hunting area. The wolf group was an important part of that. Naturally, they knew which wolves were active in this area in the past.
Although they were far away and could not see clearly, judging from the hunting style, they were not from the previous group. The wolves that appeared now were more cruel. They did not bite the giant-antler deer to death directly, but bit and gnawed it to death.
Caesar stared at the wolves in the distance. The skin on his nose wrinkled, and the fangs in his mouth were exposed. He also growled in a low voice.
"Caesar, come back!" Shao Xuan shouted.
Caesar was similar to the previous group of wolves here, but the wolves that appeared now were more dangerous. Caesar could not be allowed to touch them. Not to mention that he was outnumbered, even if he fought alone, Caesar might not be able to win. The wolves were generally larger, and their style was quite ferocious. It would not be good for him to go there.
Normally, when hunting, the warriors of the hunting team would not provoke the wolves. The wolves in the forest were very vengeful. Unless they were all killed, they had to be careful of their revenge.
Since there was a new wolf group, the warriors of the hunting team did not stay for long. They hurried to leave with the prey. Anyway, it was late, and they had to go back to the cave.
"Caesar, stop looking. Let's go!" Shao Xuan saw Caesar was still looking back, so he shouted.
After taking one last look at the wolves in the distance, Caesar followed Shao Xuan and ran back to the cave of the first stronghold.
At night, the warriors were barbecuing meat and chatting in the cave. The entrance of the cave was blocked by a big stone, and the wind could only come in through some gaps and openings. Ever since the incident with the Thorn Black Wind, Mai had found this cave as his new base.
While they were chatting, Mai suddenly stopped talking. The others also stopped talking and listened carefully.
There was the sound of wolves howling.
It was not very close, and people with bad hearing might not have noticed it. However, the warriors here had much better hearing than others.
"Is it the same pack we saw during the day?" Tu whispered.
Now Tu and Jie Ba had both joined Mai's hunting team. This was their third hunt. Their appearance did not change much, but their aura had changed a lot. They were no longer the two kids who lived in the cave and thought about what to eat the next day. They were real warriors!
"Be careful tomorrow. It's probably a new wolf group. As for the old ones … they must have been defeated." Mai said.
There was an overlapping area between the territories of the wolf groups. It was possible to see wolves from two groups, but this was not their overlapping area.
But now, the wolves at the foot of the mountain were openly showing their presence. Obviously, the old ones were either defeated or dead.
While the others were talking about the new wolves, Caesar kept staring out of the cave.
Noticing Caesar's look, Shao Xuan thought that he had to keep a close eye on this guy for a while.
