In the Magic Gun World, hunting was a very dangerous thing.
Especially when acting alone, it was basically courting death. Because of the thin fog, vision was very limited. The further away one was, the harder it was to see clearly. Under such circumstances, hearing and smell were even more important. However, hearing and smell were obviously not the advantages of humans. Wild beasts were better in this aspect. Entering the wilderness without a large team to hunt was courting death.
When Tang Shidao was traveling, he also noticed that there were a small number of half-orcs in the hunter's team, half-orcs with beast heads and human bodies.
For example, rabbit orcs, eagle orcs, and very few cat orcs and leopard orcs.
It was obvious.
In the Magic Gun World, there were very few half-orcs, but they were all used by the major cities. There was no need to guess where they came from. They must be the descendants of travelers. Tang Shidao did not believe that half-orcs would be born in such a 'magic free world'. Think about it, if the travelers of the eagle orc race entered and left behind descendants, their bloodline would easily spread.
The human race also needed these good helpers. Even if they were restricted from expanding, they would still leave some behind.
Entering hunting mode, no one said much.
Even if they needed to speak, they would usually use gestures instead. Tang Shidao had read the cooks' information book. There were several dangers of sound in the wild. First, it was easy to be locked on by wild beasts with strong hearing. Second, it was easy to attract small poisonous bees or insects. Third, it was easy to scare away prey.
In this misty world, the sound of wild beasts was completely different from that of humans.
"There's one more thing." Captain Tang Tong walked in the middle and occasionally whispered to 'Mr. Long'. "If you make a sound, other hunters may hear you. It's hard to say whether the other hunters are enemies or friends, so try not to speak if you can."
"I see." Tang Shidao also engraved it in his heart.
Not long after.
The leopard orc in charge of reconnaissance reported, "A herd of deer has been found ahead, but there are also a large number of snake dens around."
Tang Tong frowned when he heard that.
This was a bad sign.
Hunting was a necessary means of replenishment. However, no one wanted to exchange their lives for food. After all, the Magic Gun World had weapons like the Magic Gun, and the human race was not trash. From the perspective of intelligent life, exchanging one's life for food was very stupid.
"Mr. Long, what do you think?" Tang Tong was not in a hurry to decide and asked again.
"On the surface, it looks like the deer herd is very smart. From the perspective of nature, the main enemy of deer herds is the wild wolves, not us. They purposely stayed beside the snake cave to protect themselves. Because the wild deer were not worried about the speed of the serpents, it was difficult for the serpents to hunt them. On the other hand, if the wild wolves wanted to ambush them, they had to take the risk of being killed by the snakes. The wild wolves can't outrun the deer herd, so they have to hide. If they hide, they might be killed by the snake. "
"Is this just on the surface?" Tang Tong and the others were puzzled. Wasn't this the truth?
"Yes, this is only the surface. Personally, I felt that there was another meaning to the actions of the deer herd. It felt like someone was directing them. Of course, it might not necessarily be a person. It could also be something else. In short, the deer herd has a kind of 'pastoral' feeling. Their actions are not very realistic. "
"Is that so?" Tang Tong frowned and did not order the hunt to begin.
At this moment.
Tang Yan, the co-pilot, said, "Mr. Long, let's not talk about whether your guess is right or wrong. Let us suppose that you are right. Then, there was a problem. Our patrol team was in the sky, but they didn't find giant eagles or giant bats. On the ground, we have cat people, leopard people, and other scouts. It's impossible to miss the enemy's traces. The enemy can herd deer, so it shouldn't be a small guy. There must be some footprints on the ground. "
"Yes."
"Then, Mr. Long, where did the enemy come from?" Tang Yan and the others were puzzled. If there were no traces, where did the enemy come from?
"I'm not sure. However, if I were a monster herding deer and my body was big enough, I would choose a route that no one could see. "
"There are no traces in the air or on the ground," Tang Yan repeated.
At this moment.
Tang Shidao pointed in a direction: the river.
"Swam here?" Tang Yan also frowned.
"No, I think they walked here, walking in the river …" Tang Shidao said his thoughts, but before he could finish.
"Lake trolls," Tang Tong interrupted him in shock.
At this moment.
Quickly, all the hunters and soldiers took out their magic guns and began to lock onto the position of the river.
Was Mr. Long right?
Let's not talk about it first.
In their hearts, everyone knew that it was possible.
In the ordinary land, a correct piece of information could save a large army. This was an ironclad fact. Here, no one would bet on the option of "maybe not". As long as there was a possibility, no one would let it go. There was only one life, and no one was willing to gamble.
"What's a lake troll?" Tang Shidao asked softly.
"It's a giant monster that can stand upright and crawl on all fours. They usually stay in large lakes and swamps, and occasionally enter plains and forests. Lake trolls are very troublesome. They run very fast on all fours, and when they stand upright, they can swing broken wood or throw stones. Moreover, there are many lake trolls. Once they move in groups, the hunters can only run. "
"What are the benefits and countermeasures?" Tang Shidao asked again.
"The heart of a lake troll may be demonized and can be used as an upgrade material for some magic guns. To deal with them, we have to discover them first, then let the iron airships bombard them with cannons. Hunters have teams that can fight, but the sacrifices will be great. Unless we have no choice, we should take a detour and avoid them. "
"I see …" Tang Shidao fell into deep thought.
Trolls were very dangerous.
Their bodies were huge, and they could crush people to death when they fell.
"Mr. Long, do you want to take the risk?"
"I have a few questions to ask." Tang Shidao nodded slightly.
"You're so bold. Okay, ask."
"First of all, do lake trolls have good eyesight?"
"This … Iron Cat, go ahead." Captain Tang Tong waved his hand, and a cat-person scout came over.
"Their eyesight is not good, and they usually only recognize the shape of life," Iron Cat replied.
"Okay. How do they find the enemy? If we kill a herd of deer, do they find us by smelling the smell of blood in the air? Or do they find us by the blood in the river when we wash by the river? Or do they find us by hearing the cries of the deer? "Tang Shidao asked in detail.
Hearing this, everyone was a little stunned.
Was this guy really a hunter? He investigated the enemy so carefully?
"The sound is the farthest, followed by the smell of blood." Iron Cat wanted to answer this easily, but he did not expect the other party to be so professional.
"Are you sure? This has to do with our lives. "
"I'm sure."
"Okay. Let me give you another example. For example, if we make some dummies, such as wood dummies, tree dummies, and grass dummies, can we fool the lake trolls' throwing attacks? Also, if we pour beast blood bags on them and shoot their ears with explosive arrows, can we make them go berserk and kill each other if they recognize the wrong target? "Tang Shidao asked again.
This time, Iron Cat thought for a long time.
His forehead was covered in sweat.
Finally, he nodded seriously and added, "They're afraid of fire, and it's easier to make them go berserk if we pour ignition oil on them."
At this time, Tang Tong also said, "There's a poisonous mushroom that's useful. I think it's called the Mad Sheep Mushroom, right, Tang Yan?"
Tang Yan nodded slightly.
Hearing this, everyone knew what they had to do.
Tang Shidao spoke again, "Is there a way to lure those giant snakes out at the same time?"
Hearing this, all the hunters and soldiers were completely stunned.
"Yes!" Tang Tong nodded heavily.
Half a day later.
Wild deer carcasses.
Python carcasses.
Lake trolls' carcasses were piled all over the ground. The hunters and soldiers didn't do much. They just watched the crazed lake trolls kill each other, and then a group of giant pythons joined in. What the hunters and soldiers did was … shoot at the panicked deer herds, and shoot at the half-dead pythons and lake trolls. This time, no one was injured, let alone dead.
Everyone spread out to harvest the spoils. At this time, they couldn't help but look at Mr. Long, who was collecting the beast teeth.
Was this guy's first time in a team hunt?
Was this his first time in the Magic Gun World?
In the past, he had never seen a Loch Troll, nor had he even heard of one. Today, with just a small plan, he took down a group of them so easily? Was this guy a monster? Was he not only a genius in the Magic Gun World, but also a survival and hunting genius?
Captain Tang Tong also watched the whole operation.
Mr. Long didn't use the Magic Gun World.
He only used the crossbow.
He shot a total of 16 arrows, and each arrow was aimed at the lake trolls' eyes.
None of the 16 arrows missed.
"Captain Tang, I found something."
"What is it, Mr. Long?"
"I found that some nocturnal crocodiles in the river ran away. They don't seem to be avoiding us. They seem to be afraid of the lake trolls' blood. "
"So?"
"We didn't know where they were hiding, but now we can 'test' it out. Moreover, it's possible to 'drive' them into some places that are advantageous to us, so we can gather them together and annihilate them. The nocturnal crocodiles must have some weaknesses during the day, so they can't hunt by themselves. Instead of waiting until night to be on guard, it's better to annihilate them during the day. "
"…" Tang Tong was stunned. This guy wasn't lucky. He was really a hunting genius.
Others were afraid of wild beasts and were on guard against them.
He was different.
He only respected nature. He wasn't afraid of giant beasts or herds. In his mind, there was only the right way to do it, not the right way to do it.
Half a day later.
A large group of nocturnal crocodiles turned over, but the hunters and soldiers still didn't hurt a single one. Because everyone was stained with lake trolls' blood, the nocturnal crocodiles had poor eyesight during the day. They mistook everyone for lake trolls and didn't dare to attack.
Without the python and nocturnal crocodiles nearby, their opponents were only wild wolves and wild deer. It was too easy to hunt again.
With the level of wild wolves, they couldn't even bite the lightly armored soldiers.
At night.
The hunters and soldiers lit a fire and sprinkled some lake trolls' and nocturnal crocodiles' blood. They were safe and undisturbed for the whole night. Even the wild wolves didn't dare to come close. It could be said that they had hunted for more than ten years, and this was the first time they had such a peaceful time. In the past, they would have been woken up by more than four or five explosions. If they couldn't stay any longer, they might have sent out a distress signal to ask the iron airship for support.
Late at night, looking at some distress signals in the distance, like fireworks, the hearts of the first team were filled with pride.
With a 'hunting genius' in the team, they could just lie down and win. There was no need to take risks at all.
Thinking back to before.
When Captain Tang asked everyone, the other teams didn't want to let Mr. Long join them. Only First Mate Tang Yan agreed. Now, see, this was the importance of making a choice. If you made the right choice, you could get rich … The heart of a lake troll, the gallbladder of a python, the horn of a wild deer, and the skin of a nocturnal crocodile … Oh, I can't think about it anymore. If I do, I'll be too excited to sleep.
This was only a day's income.
"Everyone, speak softly. The captain has an order. Yesterday, Mr. Long leveled up twice in a day must not be spread. This is an order, understand? "
"Yes!"
"Speak softly, bastards."
"Yes!"
