Chapter 392: The National Treasure on the Mountain Road(1/2)
The wind in the mountains was originally very wild.
These wild mountain winds swept through the grass tips wantonly.
After passing through the dense woods, the vines were torn into wisps of breeze.
When it blew onto Luo Xuan's face, it had become gentle on the fingertips.
These evening breezes are as silky as Takumi's skin, and are not only carrying a gentle mist.
and.
There is also a trace of wild animal scent mixed in, and there is still a trace of blood in it...
"This should be a semi-large beast that seriously lacks hunting experience."
As for the smell of blood?
I'm afraid it's that beast that has captured its prey and is busy eating there...
Luo Xuan's nose twitched slightly.
Putting the lantern in his hand on the ground, he carefully identified the source of the fishy smell.
While taking the rifle off his shoulder, he slowly pulled the bolt.
Tuo Shizhan, who was standing behind Luo Xuan, flipped his wrist and three gleaming flying knives quietly fell from his cuffs...
Takumi Rei pulled out a machete from her back as a close-defense weapon.
A petite little girl held a machete about one meter long in her hand.
No matter how you look at the picture, it feels a little out of place...
actually,
This is a tacit understanding that Takumi Rei and his grandson, who have been bullied by others for many years, have already developed: Takumi's throwing knife is a light weapon used for long-range attacks.
The machete in Takumi's hand and even the dagger tied to her calf are sharp weapons for close combat.
"boom--"
Luo Xuan roughly determined the place where the unknown beast lurked, which should be a place 20 meters away on the right front, surrounded by arrow bamboo and weeds.
Then without thinking, he raised his hand and shot there!
It's dark everywhere, and the mountain is full of dangers.
Luo Xuan was not interested. He went up and slowly checked whether it was a blind bear or a cheetah.
No matter what it is, jujube or not, let’s hit him first!
At least this sudden gunshot shook the mountains and reverberated.
Countless pheasants were frightened by this and immediately lost their feet and fell to the ground from the branches of the trees.
I cursed for a while, then slowly climbed up the low tree branches in the dark...
At this time, there was light and smoke everywhere outside the mountain.
Many birds and beasts were frightened and fled into the deep mountains and forests one after another.
The strong pungent smell created by diesel and sulfur is unbearable even to the most adaptable humans.
What about those wild animals?
Therefore, around Da Laojun and Xiao Laojun Mountains, which still maintain an original ecology, during this period, more and more birds and beasts came from all directions.
What golden pheasant, pheasant, partridge, owl, eagle...
The more prey there is for prey, naturally, there are more and more ferocious beasts of all kinds...
So much so that some time ago, the guys in the hunting team were no longer interested in hunting hares.
I have no interest in even looking at a pheasant weighing less than 2 pounds...
Therefore, as there are more and more wild beasts in the mountains, the composition of the wild beasts is becoming more and more complex.
For safety reasons.
Luo Xuan would rather just fire a few shots blindly to scare the beast away.
It's good for everyone to be at peace with each other.
"boom--"
When the shot was fired, there was no loud noise near the cluster of arrow bamboos, and there was no violent shaking of the thatch.
This shows that the beast lurking there has no intention of escaping!
Damn it!
Is your head pretty strong?
then,
Luo Xuan moved the muzzle of his gun and fired another shot in that direction!
"Ouch——"
This time, the beast finally responded enthusiastically to the 7.62mm bullet.
"Oh, uh uh--"
A howl, followed closely by waves of deep roars!
"What kind of beast is this?"
Standing behind Luo Xuan, Tuo Shizhan, who was on guard, tilted his head.
Listen carefully for every little sound the beast makes.
"How does this feel? It's a bit like the sound of an iron-eating beast?"
Listen for a moment,
Tuo Shizhan frowned and murmured to himself, "I haven't heard the sound of an iron-eating beast for many years. I never thought that I would encounter this vicious creature here tonight!"
The name "Iron-eating Beast" comes from the time when the Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You in ancient times.
According to legend, Chi You's mount was an iron-eating beast.
In fact, it is the national treasure of later generations: the giant panda.
Although Tuo Shizhan said that he has been living in the city and making a living by practicing medicine.
But in the past, doctors wanted to ensure that the medicines they prescribed had real, effective and controllable effects.
At the same time, it is also to reduce the cost of medicinal materials,
therefore,
Most doctors of that period, when they had free time, would go into the wilderness to look for various Chinese medicinal materials they needed.
Therefore, although Tuo Shizhan was a doctor in the city, he was no stranger to various wild beasts in the wild.
Even more familiar than Luo Xuan...
"Giant panda?"
Luo Xuan raised his gun and stared over there, asking Tuo Shizhan, "Are you sure that beast is this thing?"
"Sure! Yes, now I heard that this thing has been renamed a giant panda."
Tuo Shizhan answered affirmatively: "I remember it was four or five years ago. At that time, I would often take my son to visit the mountains of Mingchuan, specifically to explore various deep mountains and old forests.
I just want to find some rare medicinal materials or visit a famous teacher to improve my son's medical skills."
"I remember once, when I was walking towards Ya'an with my family, I encountered an iron-eating beast."
Tuo Shizhan said: "We had never seen this thing at that time. We only saw some pictures of iron-eating beasts in some ancient books.
But you also know how good those painters are, they can make a cockroach look like a worm."
"The reason why I remember this murderous creature so deeply."
Tuo Shizhan said: "That year, my son and I met one in the woods.
At that time, my son saw that this thing was furry and distinct in black and white, and he fell in love with it.
I want to go up and tease him.
Unexpectedly, I was slapped by that guy and broke two ribs! If my son and I hadn't fought hard with him, we finally drove him away.
I'm afraid that my place was already buried in the belly of the beast by the time we were four or five years old...
Tuo Shizhan sighed: "Although the iron-eating beast was driven away by us, it's a pity that my son was bitten on the face while fighting it.
So much so that his originally intact lips eventually turned into cleft lips."
As soon as he heard that it was the cry of a giant panda, Luo Xuan felt inexplicably calm.
After all, that guy is also a national treasure.
Although no one has the consciousness to protect it now, Luo Xuan, as a descendant, knows how precious it is.
