Survival In the World of Beasts - Chapter 78

Facing Li Shizhen’s guess, Bai Hu only gave a calm “whoop” to confirm his thoughts.

Li Zhixuan lowered his body and began to twitch Baihu’s ears, torture, grunt, ask, and get up. Although Baihu couldn’t speak at this time, he and Li Zhizheng had a “wow hoo woo”. Can communicate. The two talked secretly for a long time, and the orcs next to them just smiled when they saw it, and didn’t bother them.

It seems that the forest is not close, and it takes at least a few days to reach it. Tigers are not good at endurance, and the speed of human feet is also limited, so their speed is not fast. Along the way, their route was tortuous, instead of running straight down the mountain. The orcs sometimes stopped along the way and carefully checked the traces. After collecting the information, they reported to Bai one by one. After Bai summarized the information Then make presentations and decisions, and decide the next route.

They were on the road during the day, and at night, they carefully chose a place to rest in place under strict guard. This made Li Shizhen had to guess that perhaps the nighttime predators on the snowy field were more frequent. Even during a short break in the middle of the day, the open place of rest is strictly selected. There are guards and patrols, and the discipline is very strict.

As they progressed, the frequency of the team staying to collect all kinds of information became higher and higher, and the alert posture of the orcs became clearer and clearer. Even at night, no one was deep in sleep, just closed their eyes and rested. In the atmosphere, Li Shizhen would not leave Baihu’s side unless necessary. He knew his physical weakness. At this time, he must not be too far away from this big tiger. In the event of an emergency, I am afraid that the white tiger will be there. The whip is too long, a little distance may become the cause of death.

This kind of atmosphere like a big enemy also made Li Shizhao slowly adjust his state, and his keenness and fighting spirit seemed to have returned to him. Only then did he discover that a comfortable life would actually corrupt people’s will unconsciously. He had never felt like the previous life of arduousness and lack of food and drink, but he felt that way only when he was out of the valley right now. Not adapting, even afraid to leave Bai Hu’s side.

The outside world is icy and snowy, it is harsh, but the valley is warm like spring, and the atmosphere is peaceful. The contrast in this climate is just like the contrast in the living environment. The white and silent world in front of you seems to be real, and life is struggling in the severe cold. Danger is everywhere. In this cold contrast, the peaceful life in the valley is like a dreamland painted on stained glass, beautiful and gorgeous, but fragile.

The orcs of the wolf tribe didn’t become animal-shaped, they just carried some dry food. When conditions permit, they lit a bonfire and gave them to Li Zhizhen to heat up the food. When conditions did not permit, a group of people ate the dry food and drove on the snow water. , Li Shizhao also silently did not have a word of extra.

This makes the orcs look at him with admiration. Females rarely hunt with orcs. One is that they can’t keep up with their physical strength, and the other is that it’s hard for the females to stick to this kind of arduous progress or lurking, and they often fall first. female. Li Zhizhu’s figure was relatively thin even among females, the snowy ground was freezing cold, and the food was hard, so he swallowed it without saying a word.

The tiger orcs are all trekking in the snow based on their prototypes. Although they started out with a lot of food, the energy they need to replenish is huge under the huge physical exertion. At this time, they can see the disadvantages of the beasts. It’s impossible to supply so many tigers with dry food.

There was a strong wind on this day, and the only good news was that there was no heavy snow, otherwise, together with the blizzard, their small team of a dozen people would be swallowed and there would be no trace left behind.

But if you look down from the sky, the snow peaks in the squally wind are undoubtedly extremely beautiful and shocking. Under the endless blue sky, the pure white tall and tall mountains lifted up heavy veils, dreamlike and illusion, as the veils flew up as if the goddess of Xuefeng was waving it and dancing an unknown mysterious dance, touching, Never guess whether the next note is slow or sick.

However, the group of people who were really trekking on Xuefeng was just a row of small black dots from a distance, as if the thin gauze only needed to be rolled a little bit more to erase all the small dots.

In the constant gust of wind, only the sound of “whooping” remained in Li Shizhen’s ears, which was the trembling sound caused by the wind blowing over the auricle. He could no longer stand upright on the white tiger. The whole person was covered with animal skins and pressed tightly against the white tiger. His arms and legs also clung to the white tiger, and his entire face was buried in the white tiger. In the hair, if he doesn’t do this, he is afraid that he will be driven off by this gust of wind in the next second.

Occasionally, Li Shizhu would raise his head and squint to check the direction when the wind was slightly weaker, and then in the next second he would bury his head on the white tiger’s back again in the wind that almost scratched his eyes.

But they can only move forward with difficulty. If they stay in place, they will be brought to a dangerous place by the gale, and if they move forward with great resistance, they can at least choose a relatively safe shelter from the wind.

On the difficult journey, Li Shizhen didn’t mention that Bai Hu walked on his own, and Bai Hu kept his head down. The tigers stood on the outside to block part of the wind for the humanoid companions on the inside. A tiger arched the white tiger and seemed to want him to go inside. Everyone could block part of the wind for him, but the white tiger threw his tail and refused.

The time seemed to be endless. When Li Shizhen felt that his arms and legs seemed to be too hard to feel, they finally arrived at a leeward mountain col and made a short stay.

The cold, tired and hungry group of people couldn’t wait to rest, but Bai Hu didn’t immediately lie down with his companions to keep warm. Instead, he let Li Shizhen go down and check it out near the col alone for a while, and finally picked one on the edge of the col. You can observe the high ground outside lying down.

Obviously, in this kind of weather, it is not only them who need shelter from the wind, but no one knows who the next visitor will be. The sound of wind and snow foam reduced the detectable range of the orc’s five senses, and the high ground just made up for this shortcoming slightly.

The howling cold wind blew Baihu’s fur, and the snow foam he brought up slapped his outer body, but Baihu did not turn his head and back to avoid the wind and snow. Instead, he faced the wind and snow and rested slowly. He breathes calmly. In such bad weather, it is not easy for him to carry a person forward, and he needs to perform the duties of the leader at this time, and be responsible for safety when the entire group is very tired.

Li Shizhao moved his body slightly. There was only snow and ice nearby, and there was no fuel, so he was afraid that he would not be able to burn the fire for warmth. He exercised on the spot to regain some sensation in his hands and feet, and then tightened the fur on his body and walked towards the white tiger.

Li Shizhao took out a fish cake from behind and handed it to the big cat. This cake was different from the dried fir fruit he had eaten along the way. Although it had been made for a while, it was still very soft at low temperatures. Bai Hu turned his head back “Woo “With a sound, he turned his head again, as if to say: The nest needs to be on guard, you can’t turn your head to eat, show the temptation to nest!

Li Zhizong looked at this guy’s turning ears, although he was knowing that he was acting coquettishly and begging for feeding by looking at this guy’s restless ears, but Li Zhizun didn’t grab his ears and ravage him like usual, but instead stretched out his hand. He brushed off the snow foam that had fallen inside his ears for Bai Hu, and Bai Hu squinted his eyes comfortably. In the wind and snow, his white fur seemed to blend with the snow scene.

Li Zhizheng leaned on Baihu, stretched out his arm and fed him a fish cake. He happily held it in his mouth with a scream, oh, sweet, it was not fishy at all! It’s rare that a guy like Baihu can’t bear to swallow something at once. It seems that the wind and snow at this time can’t stop his cozy atmosphere. Seeing this guy’s proudly erected and dangling tail, the wolf tribe orcs are all in succession. Turning back, the tigers turned their buttocks towards this guy one after another: Hey, you are not the only one who has a female! The guy who has not received the engraved weapon is not qualified to show affection!

Bai Hu glanced sideways at the reactions of these guys: The muds were all jealous, Hong Guoguo’s jealous, and then he swallowed the cake after rubbing against Li Zhixun next to him.

Li Shizhao was going to feed the white tiger a little bit more, anyway, considering this guy’s food intake, he did carry a dozen fish cakes on his back. Bai Hu gently licked Li Zhizhen’s hand, carefully avoided the barbs on his tongue, and moved Li Zhizheng towards the orcs.

Li Shizhao smiled, got up and distributed the fish cakes he brought with him to a few tigers before returning to Bai Hu. He ignored the eyes that Bai Hu asked him to go to the shelter to rest, and only wrapped the animal skins on his body. Man shrank under Baihu’s belly, buried his face on the warm fur, closed his eyes and prepared to rest, his hands and feet were still a bit stiff and sour after the rush.

Bai Hu somewhat helplessly and somewhat connivingly, lowered his head and rubbed the female under him, carefully moved his body to cover him tighter, and turned his head to continue to be alert.

When Li Shizhao woke up when he heard the sound, the wind had weakened, but it was still blowing, and a layer of snow foam shook off the animal skin. Seeing that Li Shizhao reacted so quickly, Bai Hu nodded in satisfaction, got up quietly and carefully, and stretched his somewhat stiff body slightly, and gently arched Li Shizhao to let him come up.

The surrounding orcs had already stood up quickly and silently, seeming to be picking up the traces left on the ground.

Soon, Bai Hu carried Li Zhizhen and a group of orcs to evacuate the mountain in an efficient and orderly manner. The snow foam raised by the wind quickly drowned their traces. Li Shizhen’s five senses were inferior to them, and he couldn’t judge what happened for a while. But looking at their actions, it was obvious that some danger came from a distance.

After the white tigers left the mountain col, they climbed up a mountain with twists and turns. Li Shizhao felt suspicious and wanted to avoid the strong wind. Obviously, the shelter was better. Even if the place was too dangerous, there should be other places. Is the wind not strong enough to climb up the hill? Li Shizhen keenly noticed that the wind was coming from the obliquely below the col, unless, with a move in his heart, he was suddenly curious about what kind of animal was causing the white tiger to avoid it so carefully and observe it from a distance.

The weakened wind has improved the visibility a lot. Li Shizhao can already see the vague figure from a distance across the snow curtain. As it approaches, Li Shizhao’s heartbeat gradually quickens, and he has gradually confirmed his guess. , Bai really came for it!

As the distance gets closer and closer, its stature is getting bigger and bigger. Li Shizhen can even see that the shock of its stepping on the snow makes the snow foam on the ground float a bit, and a row is stepped out behind it. The deep three-claw footprints, this kind of wind can quickly conceal the footprints of the white tigers, but it can’t hide the terrible traces for a while.

At this distance, Li Shizhen can clearly see that its head, back, and tail are covered with feathers. The body is indeed very similar to Tyrannosaurus. Both legs alternately move forward. The front paws are also severely degraded short toes. However, they are so close. Looking at the distance carefully, Li Shizhen saw clearly that it exhaled white air while breathing, and at the same time observed the subtle difference between it and Tyrannosaurus.

The most obvious thing is that in addition to the feathers, there are also the legs of this guy. They are not as thick as Tyrannosaurus, but they are more slender. They appear to be taller and more vigorous, even if they are more flexible and faster! It seems that in order to balance this body shape, its tail is stronger and stronger than that of Tyrannosaurus. When it stands upright, its tail even gives a strong support to the body like a tripod. It can be imagined that this powerful tail is even more powerful when fighting. A terrifying whip.

Li Shizhao also saw the protruding bony protuberances on both sides of its nose, which made the nostrils more narrow and long, which was a feature that Tyrannosaurus did not have. At such a close distance, as long as it looked up in this direction, it would definitely be able to see them clearly. As if it was the advantage brought by the downwind direction, this terrifying beast just sniffed the ground in doubt, and then went back and forth around the col a few times.

Probably the orcs cleaned relatively cleanly, and the wind helped a lot and disturbed all the smell. The terrifying beast finally sprayed its nose and made a terrible roar, and then it reluctantly gave up looking for it and squatted. The innermost side of the col.

This terrifying beast was probably the target of Baihu’s group. Li Shizhao didn’t know why Bai Hu’s determination to get rid of it was so firm, even the snowstorm that may occur at any time in the snow season could not stop his decision. He also made such sufficient training and preparation to see the meticulous cleaning work just done by the orcs. That’s it, to remove the traces and smells left behind is obviously to prevent the tracking of the terrifying beast.

Then Li Shizheng was even more surprised to find that such a big horror beast was curled up in a mountain col, with only gray feathers exposed outside. The wind gradually rolled and snow foam piled up on its body. As the light dimmed, it remained motionless. Staying there, one inadvertently ignores it as a boulder in the col. Besides such a terrifying and swift figure, it still has a natural protective color!

Li Zhizhen’s expression is more serious. This dinosaur called the Horror is obviously related to Tyrannosaurus. It may be a subspecies of Tyrannosaurus evolved in the cold north. Look at its survival advantage. In terms of size, the swift movement ability, the terrifying bite force of the Tyrannosaurus, and the protective color for ambush, the competition for survival in the snowy field is so terrible.

Tyrannosaurus in the south can drive prey and get food only by virtue of its size and offensive power, but the terrifying beasts in the north need so many abilities to ensure survival and reproduction.

If Chiapa and the others encountered such terrible creatures, Li Shizhao felt that they could escape back alive as the blessing of their ancestors, and it was inevitable that they would lose their prey or something. Look at the giant beast lying in ambush in the mountain col. It is almost integrated with the surrounding snowy mountains and rocks. It is entirely possible that the tired appars dragged the huge prey into its latent area. Under this kind of encounter, the result is self-evident. One side has a huge advantage in attack power.

In this way, the terrible wound on Chiapa’s body may not be a scratch, but – Li Shizhao quickly sketched the scene in his mind: a snow wolf was caught off guard to face a big mouth that was bitten by a blood basin. A row of sharp and huge teeth severely scraped off a large piece of skin and flesh, and blood spattered during the hasty dodge.

Li Shizhao sighed silently. After seeing this giant beast, he suddenly felt that Chiapa had just lost his beastly form. He was really lucky.

However, in addition to careful observation in Li Shizhen’s eyes, the fear of seeing a prehistoric behemoth has long since disappeared. No matter how terrible it is, it is also an animal with weaknesses. It’s not that I didn’t provoke Tyrannosaurus when I was in the southern jungle. Facts have proved that it is completely possible to bring down such a big guy with caution, repeated planning and full preparation. And the reason why the white tiger beside him was so persistent in dealing with the Tyrannosaurus seemed to have an explanation.

For a while, Li Shizhao really felt so sorry that there was no loose boulder on the side of the mountain, otherwise he would walk around for a while, and it turned out that this big guy is so good that they save them from having to fight for a while.

Seeing this terrifying beast, and looking at the white tiger’s deployment arrangements, Li Zhizhen has probably understood what he meant. The animal-shaped tiger clan must be responsible for the close attack, and the human-shaped wolf clan must be responsible for the long-range attack. Now, without more information, Li Shizhao couldn’t judge the reason for Baihu’s arrangement, nor could he know his more detailed plan.

I looked at the expressions of the young orcs around him. Fortunately, they were all very focused, but they didn’t mean to shrink back at all. Bai Hu did a good job of thinking, and Li Shizhao secretly gave a thumbs up.

A group of people lurked quietly, as if comparing patience with the terrifying beast on the opposite side, a quality that a predator must possess.

When the sky was completely dim, Li Shizhen’s hands and feet were a little stiff, but he didn’t dare to make any major movements. He just moved his limbs gently while the wind was blowing. Gradually, the moon rose, and the snow-foam light spinning that was lifted by the wind made the surrounding snow scenes as quiet and beautiful as a dream. At this time, half of the terrifying beasts were in the shadows and half exposed under the moon, like the rocks under the moon. This part of the beautiful scenery concealed all the blood and all the murderous intent under this bright light.

Suddenly, a few swiftly running figures broke the tranquil scenery and the silent confrontation between the two sides. Li Shizhu squinted his eyes and saw that the speed of this running could not be judged whether it was a herbivore or a carnivore. But judging by the way people travel on the snow, it must be a race that is known for speed. Then, Li Shizhu’s A second huge figure appeared in his sight.

Judging from the scene in front of him, it is clear that the slightly smaller horror beast at the back is hunting the animal in front, chasing and fleeing. Gradually, Li Shizhao could see clearly the appearance of the animals in front of him. He was more like an ostrich than a dinosaur, with a long and sharp beak, slender and powerful feet, and running very fast, with the steps of a terrifying beast. Even if it wants to catch up, it is extremely difficult. This should be a group of predators who are known for their speed.

Looking at the first terrifying beast lying in ambush underneath, it was obvious that their plan was not to catch up with these ostrich-like dinosaurs, but to drive them into their own traps. After all, it is too reluctant to catch up with such a speed predator at the speed of the terrifying beast.

The script was just as Li Shitao had imagined. An ostrich-like predator flew over the rocks beside the col in horror, and looked back at the terrifying pursuer behind him, trying to judge the distance to it. However, it did not expect it to die. The real crisis came from the huge rocks around itself. The “mountain” opened its blood basin and snapped its cervical vertebrae in a single click. In less than a second, this only reacted quickly. The predator is reduced to a good meal.

“Chiji——” A few sharp panic chirps sounded. The death of their companions made them aware of the huge crisis in front of them. There was an ambush before the chase. These predators quickly adjusted their steps and tried to avoid the first one. Where the terrifying beast was ambushing, it had already put down its prey and got up to join the hunt.

Under the bright moon, on the snow-white stage, what is performing is a **** and speedy killing. These predators have been doomed to the final end since they stepped into this trap. The flanking attack of the two horror beasts made their panic escape become useless, and soon there were a few more beaches on the ground. The fresh blood stains, under the moonlight and on the snow, looked particularly shocking.

The onlookers on the top of the mountain, no matter how ups and downs in their hearts, their expressions are still calm and calm, watching quietly how gluttonous the two giant beasts below cooperate with each other, the wind is carrying a strong **** air, and the beasts are also heard. The sound of biting and swallowing.

When the wind stopped completely, the sky was clear, and the snow below was white and clean as before. Even the deep footprints of the terrifying beasts were blurred, as if nothing had happened.

This unexpected encounter did look like nothing had happened. The orcs got up and cleaned up the surrounding traces and proceeded carefully, but the route became more tortuous and the terrain passing by became more and more hidden and strange. Their rest time is no longer regular, and they go and stop. Li Shizhao knows that they are using the surrounding terrain and these two terrible monsters to play a game of life with their lives, a game called peek-a-boo.

At this time, they had penetrated into the territory of the two terrifying beasts.
