HCB Chapter 70 Heavy Rain
Chapter 70 Heavy Rain
The bearded man looked at the two trembling and dodging slaves in front of him and exclaimed, "What a waste of the fragrance fruit."
"...I really don't know what the leader is obsessed with." The bearded man complained. The deputy captain on the side didn't dare to argue. Compared with the captain of the hunting team, he could not afford to offend the leader.
"Useless things! Look at those two slaves. They can't die yet. We have to lure the beasts into the trap first." The bearded man looked at the timid orcs beside him and became very angry. When he was about to take action, a nine-star black bear rushed into the hunting team.
In an instant, everyone in the hunting team became panicked.
"Why are you panicking? Catch it!" The bearded man was worthy of being the captain of the hunting team. He did have some skills. When he saw the team was in chaos, he immediately spoke out to suppress them. Except for a few orcs who were scratched and bitten, the entire hunting team fought back. Seeing this, the big black bear did not linger for long. He threw the red fruit on his claws to the hunting team.
It seems like they are thrown randomly and without any method, but they hit the target every time.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, the big black bear did not linger on fighting and rushed into the woods beside it. The hunting team wanted to give chase, but seeing the herd of long-tusked beasts, they decided to put hunting first and stopped the pursuit. The big black bear disappeared from the sight of the hunting team.
"Captain, this fruit, this fruit is not right..." The dog-shaped orc of the hunting team touched the juice of the fruit that hit him. He smelled it and found that it was the scent-attracting fruit.
"! What!" The bearded man only then noticed that his body was covered with fruit juice. When the black bear attacked just now, he was the first to be hit, so naturally the smell of the fragrant fruit was stronger on his body.
Before he could react, the group of long-tusked beasts that had been chasing the slaves turned and ran towards them.
"...No one is allowed to run!" The bearded man looked at the group of long-tusked beasts above seven stars, his heart beating fast. He couldn't run at this time. If the other beasts ran away, he would definitely be the first to be attacked. This fragrance-attracting fruit could attract the long-tusked beasts a little bit, but the strong smell they had now would not only attract them, but would also drive the group crazy.
He had the strongest smell, there was no way he would let the team disperse.
After the other orcs were rushed over madly by the beasts, they no longer cared about anything else and ran away in all directions.
The two slaves who were running around before saw the situation change drastically in an instant. The beasts actually rushed towards the tribe's hunting team. They watched them escape and be attacked by the long-tusked beasts. There were no strange beasts or other orcs in the tribe here.
The older, handsome orc looked around and realized that this was a perfect opportunity to escape. If they didn't run today, they would be in trouble if they returned. The other slave they offended, Ya, had already become a clerk around the leader. In addition, they had not completed the hunting mission today, so they would only die if they returned.
In this case, why not fight for yourself and Ah Hu? If you go back, you will die, and if you run away, you may also die, but if you run away, there is still a glimmer of hope.
"Father, let's run..." Before Wenqing could tell Ah Hu his idea, Ah Hu had already analyzed it himself and came up with a plan.
"Okay, let's run. Father will always love you, no matter what happens!" Wenqing, the handsome orc with a long scar on his face, pulled Ah Hu and ran into the depths of the forest with determination.
"It seems that this father and son are not stupid!" Li Mingsheng agreed as he was standing on a distant mountain, looking at the scene in the forest through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
"Xingxing, you've done a great job today! I'll give you a honey comb as a reward!" Li Mingsheng took a small piece of honey comb from the cart and handed it to Xingxing's paw.
That’s right, the strange beast that just rushed into the Nameless Hunting Team and caused trouble and threw the Fragrant Fruit was none other than Xingxing.
Li Mingsheng and Yanli arrived at the hillside about half an hour ago. They had been walking south from the seaside for three days. In the first two days, they walked along the seaside, went into the woods to find caves to rest at night, and came out to continue walking during the day. After walking for two days, they realized that there was a tribe's hunting range ahead.
They turned around and walked deeper into the woods. Once they entered the woods, the cart became harder to pull and they moved much slower.
When they were resting on the hill, they saw the scene below. This nameless tribe was using slaves as bait for hunting. Li Mingsheng and his men wanted to sabotage them, but they did not want to engage in a head-on conflict because this hunting team had quite a lot of people and they were all pretty strong.
Seeing that there was a fragrant fruit tree next to them, Li Mingsheng came up with an idea to let Xingxing go.
Before leaving, Yanli repeatedly emphasized to Xingxing that he would run away after making trouble.
Xingxing the bear is really smart and brave. He went straight for it, causing Yanli to become worried!
"Let's go!" Li Mingsheng stood up and patted his pants to get rid of the crumbs stuck on them.
"...Aren't you going to continue watching?" Yanli finished eating the berries in his hand and looked at Li Mingsheng who had already stood up to leave. He asked curiously.
"Let's stop looking. It's getting dark. I think it's going to rain heavily. Let's find a cave and spend the night there!" Liming looked at the sky. The sun was covered by dark clouds. It seemed that the heavy rain would arrive in an hour or so.
"Okay, Xingxing is up, let's go." Yanli kicked the legs of Xingxing who was sitting next to him and enjoying the delicious honey.
Li Mingsheng and his companions could imagine the miserable situation of the hunting team from the unknown tribe behind them. There must have been quite a few casualties this time. Li Mingsheng curled his lips and was quite satisfied with the result.
"Hurry up, it's going to rain soon!" Li Mingsheng, Yanli, Xingxing, two people and one beast, were running fast in the jungle. Even the cart was lifted off the ground by them. Although the cart was covered with thick animal skins, Li Mingsheng was still afraid that if it rained, the remaining cart of salt would be scrapped.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. They found a cave before it rained. The cave was very wide and deep. After they pulled the cart into the cave, it really started to rain heavily.
The rain was sudden and heavy. If they had really gotten wet, it would have been fine for them, but the salt truck would have probably been at least half soaked. Fortunately, they were lucky.
After Xingxing entered the cave, he sat down on the ground. Li Mingsheng and Yanli exchanged glances.
Disgust: "There is movement and stillness."
Li Mingsheng: "Behind the rock on the right rear!"
Yanli: “Is it a strange beast?”
Li Mingsheng shook his head, then he pointed to the right side of the big rock in the cave, and then pointed to the left side. Yanli understood what he meant. The two of them surrounded them from both sides, holding bone knives in their hands, and the bone knives were wrapped in spiritual power.
Slowly walking to the back of the stone, Li Mingsheng pointed in front of his neck, indicating that if Yanli encountered danger, he should be killed directly.
