Dumb slowly turned its head, its stiff spine making cracking sounds.
Every time it turned its head, the bones in its neck would explode like a firecracker.
Dumb's soul flame, which had been burning peacefully, suddenly froze.
At this moment, the world seemed to have stopped.
Dumby was just like its name. It turned its head around and looked behind it.
The soul flame in Dumb's eye sockets suddenly shrunk inwards, and in the next moment, it suddenly bloomed.
Raging flames filled its eye sockets, and its bloodshot heart beat wildly, as if it was about to explode from its chest.
"Roar!!!"
The crazy roar reverberated in the dense forest, reverberating endlessly.
Dumb turned around and stomped on the ground with its right foot, kicking up a large amount of sand. Dense leaves scattered all over the sky.
The falling withered leaves were broken by a black shadow. The violent wind blew the fallen leaves to a halt, and then scattered in all directions.
Dumb covered seven to eight meters with each step, its strong and powerful bones roaring through the wilderness like a high-horsepower off-road vehicle.
It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay!
Dumb's chest whistled like a bellows.
.....
This was a monster hunting team of a dozen people.
They were fully armed, wearing helmets and holding hunting rifles.
Nearby, there were familiars running through the dense forest. Most of these familiars were canines. Canines had a super sensitive sense of smell, were flexible, and had strong loyalty. They were one of the most common types of familiars.
Although the Huaxia region still had gun control after the Cataclysm, it wasn't as strict as it was before the Cataclysm.
As long as you put in some effort and had the right connections, you could still get your hands on some beginner firearms like hunting rifles.
"Brother Li, why do we have to go through so much trouble to catch these Red River Apes? They're not precious monsters," a burly man in the team said coldly.
Brother Li was the leader of this monster hunting team. He loaded the bullets in his hand into his shotgun one by one and said calmly, "Miss Zhou of the Zhou family's Familiar likes to eat the hearts of Red River Apes recently, so they're buying the hearts of Red River Apes at a high price. The price of a Red River Ape's heart has already tripled on the market."
The Zhou family!
The burly man who asked the question shrunk his neck as a trace of admiration flashed through his eyes.
Lizhou City was a small base city. There weren't many powerful forces in the city, and the Zhou family was one of them.
However, none of this had anything to do with them. They only knew that the price was three times higher!
No wonder Brother Li brought them here to hunt the Red River Apes. At this moment, these Red River Apes were no longer monkeys in his eyes, but bags of moving cash.
The initial attack had caught the Red River Ape off guard.
Monsters of the Elite tier and above had extremely high defense against firearms, and Commander tier monsters were basically immune to conventional firearms.
However, Normal-ranked monsters were still very dangerous when faced with firearms. For example, while ferocious beasts like wolves, tigers, and leopards could slaughter civilians, bullets could still kill them if they hit their vitals.
Brother Li narrowed his eyes and raised his head to look at a female ape that was fleeing in the distance. Its fur was smooth and shiny, and its heart was obviously not bad. It could definitely be sold for a good price.
He raised his gun and aimed at the crosshair. "Bang!"
This shot missed, the bullet landing about five or six meters away from the female ape.
Brother Li pulled the bolt and narrowed his eyes. The crosshair in his hand swayed with the female ape's movements.
He had already treated this hunt as a game.
A group of Normal-ranked monsters, and this was the middle of the Red Sand River. It was almost impossible to meet a powerful monster, so there was no need to worry about encountering one.
Suddenly, the sound of violent shaking came from the forest behind him, and the faint sound of heavy footsteps could be heard.
Moreover, judging from the commotion, the size of the monster was definitely not small. It had been attracted by the sound of the gunshot.
Brother Li's expression became serious.
He waved his hand at the Ironback Blue Wolf lying next to him, indicating for it to stop the monster that was charging from behind.
At the same time, Brother Li put away the shotgun in his hand and carried it on his back. He turned around and ran towards a nearby tree. With a strong and agile body, he climbed up the tree trunk in a few steps.
Normal monsters couldn't climb trees, and there were many leaves on the tree, making it easy to hide. Brother Li quietly poked his head out, looking in the direction the Ironback Blue Wolf was running towards.
Suddenly, he sensed the Ironback Blue Wolf's extreme fear through the Blood Contract. Immediately after, he lost contact with the Ironback Blue Wolf.
Brother Li's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly climbed higher.
Some of the more alert members of the Monster Hunting Team climbed up the nearest tree as soon as possible.
These were all experienced hunters who had been in the wild for a few years. They knew what to do when and what to do. They definitely wouldn't be greedy because of their prey, because greedy people eventually died.
A black shadow was thrown out from where the Ironback Blue Wolf had disappeared. It drew an arc in the air and landed steadily on the ground.
Bang.
It landed on the ground, splashing a large number of leaves.
Finally, it landed steadily under Captain Li's tree.
The Ironback Blue Wolf's four limbs were broken, and its head was twisted 180 degrees to the back of its head. The wolf's eyes were wide open, staring at Captain Li in the tree. Its tongue was hanging out, and blood was seeping out from the edge of its tongue.
It was like a broken gunny sack, with broken bone spurs protruding from its joints, and blood was flowing out continuously from it.
The atmosphere in the forest suddenly became tense.
This Ironback Blue Wolf was one of the strongest familiars in their team. Even among the Elite monsters, it was one of the best.
But looking at the miserable state of the Ironback Blue Wolf, everyone hiding in the tree felt a chill run down their spines.
A burly body tore through the bush, and a strong heart let out a dull thud, like a heavy drum beating in everyone's hearts.
After seeing Dumb's appearance, everyone hiding in the tree was dumbfounded. Since when did ghoul-type monsters appear in Lizhou?
But Dumb's powerful aura couldn't be faked. This was a Commander-tier monster!
Everyone present felt bitter. How could they be so unlucky to encounter a Commander-tier monster?
Now they could only pray that this monster couldn't find them, or that this monster wouldn't climb up the tree.
Dumb looked around, then walked straight towards a certain direction. The whole time, it was silent.
If it didn't speak, the people in the tree didn't dare to speak. The familiars under the tree didn't dare to make a sound either.
A small female ape trembled as it looked at Dumb, who was getting closer and closer. Its eyes were full of spirit. There was a scratch on the small female ape's arm.
As if it smelled something, the small female ape tilted its head and looked at Dumb suspiciously. It wasn't as scared as one would think.
Dumb bent down, picked up the small female ape, and gently placed it on its shoulder.
Some of the Red River Apes let out angry roars, wanting to rush up to save the small female ape.
"Roar!" Dumb growled in a low voice.
All of the Red River Apes that were rushing up stopped in their tracks. They looked at Dumb with fear, confusion, and disbelief.
Abba's strong forelimbs tore through the leaves and landed on the ground. Gao Peng sat on Abba's back.
Sensing Stripey's Commander-level aura, the faces of the people in the trees turned pale. Then, they saw Gao Peng sitting on Stripey's back, and a strong desire to live emerged in their hearts.
