Chapter 86 Heavy
Lin Yan didn't insist on keeping vigil either. Her body really couldn't hold on.
At night, I can no longer resist my body's instinct and become drowsy.
That night, Kurotsuchi divided the people into two halves and took turns keeping watch. He was afraid that the vicious beast would catch up and was prepared in advance.
As the night got darker, Lin Yan couldn't resist and fell into a deep sleep.
Just when everyone thought everything was normal and nothing was out of the ordinary, a black shadow quietly approached.
It is like a ghost, its flexible body is very agile in the dark night, it makes almost no sound, and blends into the dark night.
Huang Li and Huo Qiang stood on guard outside, holding spears in their hands, waiting attentively. If there was the slightest movement, they would be ready to pursue and attack at any time.
When a group of black shadows rushed towards them, the spears in their hands were thrust out at the same time, but they all missed. The black shadow jumped in between the two of them.
Huang Li hurriedly shouted: "The enemy is attacking!"
Black shadows moved among the crowd like smoke and fog, making it difficult for people to guard against them.
After a while, I heard the muffled scream of someone being hurt.
Unable to see clearly what it was in the darkness, Kurotsuchi immediately ordered: "Light the torch."
Everything happened in an instant, without warning and no time for people to react. The people guarding outside were slightly confused and then immediately restored order.
They must hold on and not let the vicious beast break into the middle.
After the torches were lit, people saw the true face of the black shadow. They clenched their weapons and quickly attacked the black shadow.
In less than ten minutes, the black shadow was stabbed to death with various sharp weapons and turned into a ball of flesh and blood.
Lin Yan woke up when the chaos started and was quickly picked up by Mao Mu, ready to escape at any time.
After the black shadow was killed, Mao Mu took her to the black shadow and said, "What is this thing? It's silent. Our people didn't notice it at all."
Seeing everyone gathered together, Kurotsuchi said hurriedly: "Those who are not injured should be on duty and be alert at all times."
He walked up to the black shadow, observed it for a while and said, "I have never seen such a ferocious beast before."
Everyone looked at Lin Yan expectantly, waiting for her to speak.
Lin Yan read the introduction to the black shadow in the science and technology museum. To be honest, she really couldn't tell what the bloody mass was.
Without the Pang Bao plug-in, the black shadow would have appeared there intact, and she wouldn't have been able to recognize it.
"This is a lynx. It is shaped like a wolf and a cat. It is also called a wolf cat. It feeds on rats, hares, etc. It likes to live alone, is good at climbing and swimming, is not afraid of severe cold, and often comes out at night. It is known as a night hunter."
What Lin Yan didn't say was that the size of this lynx was more than twice the size recorded in the science and technology museum.
Lan Yue was the first to react, "So, is this the only one?"
"That's the theory." Lin Yan wasn't sure if there were any other lynxes. "It's not safe at night, so we can't let down our guard."
Kurotsuchi said solemnly: "We shouldn't let down our guard. One of them is already very difficult to deal with. We just injured six people, two of them were seriously injured. Their legs were bitten and the bones were visible."
"I'll go over and take a look." Lin Yan said hurriedly.
On this trip, the team had prepared herbs to stop bleeding and detoxify.
After seeing the injured with their own eyes, Lin Yan, Lan Yue, and Mao Mu all fell silent.
The wound was too big and the bleeding wouldn't stop. Even with hemostatic drugs, it was of no avail. They tried their best to treat it, but nothing could be done.
Half an hour later, the lives of the two seriously injured people came to an end.
Everyone was silent. They were originally full of confidence, but reality poured down a basin of cold water on their heads. It was biting to the bone and made them deeply aware of the cruelty of the wild.
Lin Yan and Lan Yue were still young and faced death for the first time, and the bloody fact was right in front of them.
They watched with their own eyes as their companions who were still alive a moment ago closed their eyes forever, and they could no longer see the sun tomorrow.
At this moment, they deeply understood the fragility of life, the terror of ferocious beasts, and their own insignificance and humbleness.
This night, no one could sleep anymore.
Those who died in the wild would be buried on the spot by fellow tribesmen, not wanting their bodies to be poisoned.
The sun rose as usual the next day, and everyone was silent in the morning light. With a heavy heart, they dug a pit and buried the two seriously injured people on the spot.
Seeing the living life turn into dead bodies, buried in the soil, and disappearing forever. Lin Yan's whole body was shrouded in grief. She felt so uncomfortable.
Although she had seen the ferocity of ferocious beasts, there were no dangers every time. This time she was not so lucky, someone paid the price with their life. Only then did she realize clearly that this was a primitive jungle, where the jungle was strong and the jungle was strong, and humans were far less conscious than she was.
So powerful.
Only through personal experience do I understand that human beings are vulnerable to vicious beasts.
Just one lynx killed two and injured four in less than five minutes.
Lan Yue patted Lin Yan's shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Lin Yan took a look and saw that everyone had packed up and was ready to set off again. She took a deep look at the two raised earth bags on the ground, then turned and walked towards Maomu.
In the next few days, the people in the team spoke little and were doing their own things in an orderly manner. But everyone tensed up and was ready to rise up and kill the enemy at any time.
Lin Yan was silent for a day, the smile on his face disappeared, and he lay on Mao Mu's back, his head empty, his thoughts fluctuating and spreading, without any focus.
Lan Yue glanced at Lin Yan from time to time, and she was keenly aware that something was wrong with Lin Yan's state. Everyone was sad when their companions left, but Lin Yan's grief was different.
She seemed to have been hit hard and fell into it for a moment, unable to extricate herself.
"Maomu, walk slower so Lin Yan can see more clearly."
Mao Mu looked at Lan Yue in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
Lan Yue blinked at him, then looked at the person behind him, and Mao Mu understood belatedly.
He slowed down and reminded Lin Yan to take a look when he saw a flower. When he encountered a tree, he would hold Lin Yan and ask for a long time.
Lan Yue saw Mao Mu being so successful and pulled Lin Yan out, temporarily relieved.
Since encountering the lynx, the vigilance of the team has been greatly increased, and more people are keeping vigil every night. Everyone forms a circle and holds their weapons in their arms when sleeping.
After walking for ten days, we encountered a herd of cattle. Fortunately, we did not attack them. They got out of the way in time and there were no casualties.
When we arrived at the forest where we met the hedgehog for the first time, everyone called it the hedgehog forest, and we saw a lot of hedgehogs. Someone was accidentally pricked by a hedgehog, and it only stung slightly. After observation, it was found that it was not poisonous and had no other symptoms.
Complete peace of mind.
After passing the hedgehog forest, we walked for three days to reach the mine.
There were no surprises along the way and we arrived at our destination safely.
It took eighteen days for the team to arrive at the mine, which was much shorter than the first time.
Everyone gradually relaxed when they saw that the mine was still the same as before, that the tools they left behind were still there, and that there were no traces of the activity of vicious beasts.
People who came to the mine for the first time were curious and climbed into the cave to look around, and couldn't wait to start mining.
Ore is valuable, everyone knows this.
1 kilogram of iron ore is worth 1 dime, which made them all clearly see the value of the ore.
