Chapter 195: Sabretooth?
The group from the Green Sparrow Tribe set out with vine shields, stone slings, and stone spears.
First, they arrived at the mulberry forest. After not finding any trace of Fu Jiang, they used the mulberry tree as the center point, excluding the direction of the tribe to the east, and began searching in a fan shape.
After turning half a circle without finding any trace, they expanded the search area and continued to turn a larger half-circle.
The calls for Fu Jiang were incessant, startling countless birds and driving away many small animals.
A leopard, concealed in the shadows, was preparing to charge at its prey not far away. The prey, completely unaware of the danger, was startled by the sudden sound of the grass and ran off. The leopard, too late to catch its prey, stopped and looked at the intruders who disturbed its hunt from afar. In its brown eyes, there was no discernible emotion.
After seeing the intruders who disturbed it, the leopard abandoned its plan to have them for lunch, turned its head to look here, and quickly climbed up a tree.
The group also saw the leopard. They protected Han Cheng in the middle, holding vine shields and stone spears while keeping a cautious eye on the leopard and trying to increase the distance between them, moving around from the side.
Even though they had vine shields and were a large group, they were unwilling to engage in conflict with such a fierce beast.
After safely bypassing the leopard, they continued their search
After passing a small mountain ridge, a somewhat hidden low-lying area appeared in front of them, possibly related to a spring, surrounded by lush trees.
Fortunately, it was autumn, and the leaves had fallen. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see things here.
Now, blocked by tree trunks and dry grass, more than half of the area was not visible.
"Hiss~"
Stepping on the dry grass and fallen leaves, they walked a distance here, and the visibility gradually improved. After seeing the true scene here, even the experienced Eldest Senior Brother couldn't help but inhale sharply, and his body immediately tensed up.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
He made a low sound in his mouth, signaling the people around him.
Walking a bit behind, Han Cheng didn't understand what the Eldest Senior Brother had seen at first. After seeing the look of the Eldest Senior Brother and others, he took two steps forward, and the scene there immediately appeared before his eyes.
His eyes widened, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and his mouth opened slightly.
Encountering such a situation!
Around the spring was a relatively open area. To the north of the spring, two groups of wild beasts were facing off.
There were many animals in one group, roughly more than ten.
Imagine the feeling of these two long fangs piercing into one's body; Han Cheng immediately didn't find these two fangs beautiful anymore.
All the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe were tense, gripping their vine shields and stone spears, standing still in place, confronting these two groups of fierce beasts.
Due to the terrain, when Han Cheng and his group and the two groups confronting each other suddenly discovered each other, the distance between them was less than thirty meters!
The atmosphere was particularly tense at this moment. While the three sides confronted each other, the "Wu-Shu" alliance resisting "Cao" was also forming.
The two confronting groups were very angry at the sudden appearance of the third party.
It was only because this side had many people and didn't seem easy to provoke that they didn't launch an attack rashly.
Han Cheng's heart was pounding. He had never experienced anything like this before. In previous wilderness rescues, the most ferocious animals he encountered were a pair of wolves, and they left from a distance after seeing humans.
Unlike now, facing these fierce animals at close range and without any safety guarantees!
His hand holding the short stone spear was damp.
The more experienced hunters, like the Eldest Senior Brother, were calmer than Han Cheng, but they also didn't dare to act rashly. Such a large and fierce group of beasts was beyond their ability.
They wouldn't choose to fight these beasts if it weren't for the extreme food shortage.
"Let's go back!"
After the three sides confronted each other for a while and confirmed that the wild boars and saber-toothed tigers would not launch an attack rashly, the Eldest Senior Brother said in a low voice.
Following the leader's order, the people remained vigilant with their weapons against the wild boars and saber-toothed tigers, slowly and cautiously retreating
Fortunately, the wild boars and saber-toothed tigers were just moving within a small range in place, showing no intention of attacking. This made the extremely nervous Han Cheng breathe a sigh of relief.
They retreated together, wanting to leave this extremely dangerous place as soon as possible.
What's that?
As Han Cheng, who was retreating, suddenly glanced over, his gaze fell on a gray fur not far from the saber-toothed tiger in the grass.
There was a patch of gray fur revealed from the partially obscured grass. It seemed to be a dead beast
Han Cheng's heart suddenly jumped.
