Chapter 52: A Little Trial

"What kind of thing is a bamboo-eating beast?"

Fengyun tried to outline its appearance in his mind, but failed.

He got too little information about it. He only knew that it ate bamboo and was good at hiding its whereabouts, and he knew nothing about it.

After thinking about it, he bowed his back, pulled the spear off his shoulder, and held it in his hand.

The bamboo forest is very dense, and it is very inconvenient to walk with a spear on your back. It is easy to get caught in the bamboo, and it will make a lot of noise, which is easy to give away his whereabouts.

In the process of advancing, he used his spear to gently push aside the bamboos in front of him, and his steps were very light, in short, he wanted to make as little noise as possible.

He mobilized all five senses, collected all the information he could, and prepared to find out the whereabouts of the bamboo-eating beast as soon as possible.

His purpose was not achieved.

He spent a full hour, but still didn't get the result he wanted.

During this period of time, he did not find any traces of animals.

He saw several animals, but none of them fit the characteristics of a bamboo eater.

Their front teeth all looked normal.

Baohui promised him to use the bamboo-eating beast's front teeth as proof of completion of the assessment. They must be different, or at least special.

After another half an hour, Fengyun still found nothing.

His brow furrowed slowly.

He couldn't help but want to use the Zombie Eye, but he finally held back.

The snake god's eye can indeed greatly increase his chances of finding bamboo-eating beasts, but it is not harmful to the exercise and improvement of his observation ability.

It's still early, so don't worry too much, if you really can't find the bamboo-eating beast, you won't eat it even if you use the snake god's eye.

Suppressing the urge to use the snake god's eye, his state of mind also changed, and he calmed down a lot, but he still didn't completely calm down.

He walked to a place where the bamboo was sparse, found a space, and sat down.

He wanted to calm himself down completely, and then sort out the information he had obtained from Bao, as well as the information he had collected during this period of time, to see if he could find a breakthrough.

The bamboo leaves are green, the air is filled with the fragrance of bamboo, the wind blows, and the bamboo shadows are whirling... The atmosphere is very good, especially suitable for meditation and thinking.

After a short time, Feng Yun's heart began to calm down, and within a quarter of an hour, he actually reached a state where his mind was almost as still as water.

He closed his eyes. At this time, he seemed to have an illusion. His heart became a mirror, and everything around him was like a reflection on the water, appearing one by one.

Of course, this is indeed an illusion, and he had this illusion because his mind calmed down and he clearly recalled the scene he had seen before.

After about five minutes, he opened his eyes again.

A smile appeared on his face.

He turned his head slowly and looked forward to the left.

His eyes moved back and forth on a cluster of extraordinarily dense bamboo, as if looking for something.

After a while, his eyes stopped on a bamboo.

At first glance, it seems that there is nothing special, almost no difference from the surrounding bamboos, but it is different in Fengyun's eyes.

When the wind blows, it sways with the surrounding bamboos and makes a rustling sound, but its swaying is not only because of the wind.

It was sinking slightly, not much, and it was swaying. Compared with the surrounding bamboos, it was very similar, so it was difficult to find, but its abnormality was still captured by Fengyun.

In fact, Fengyun will find its abnormality because he has discovered a useful piece of information before.

After meditating, Fengyun's sense of hearing also became sharper, and he successfully caught the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves mixed with a dissonant noise.

At first glance, it sounds similar to the sound of wind blowing bamboo, but you can find the difference if you carefully distinguish it.

He immediately started looking for the source of the noise.

He had a premonition that if he could figure out the source of the noise, the bamboo-eating beast would no longer be mysterious, and its true colors would be exposed before his eyes.

Fengyun's gaze never left the weird bamboo, while his hand reached for the spear beside him and held it firmly.

He grabbed a thick bamboo beside him with his other hand, and pressed down with his strength. At the same time, he put his feet on the ground, straightened his waist, and flew into the air, flying as high as three or four floors.

Before the upward momentum slowed down, he threw the spear out.

Whoosh!

Fengyun used quite a lot of strength, the spear made a piercing sound, and penetrated deeply into the bottom of the weird bamboo, and the six or seven long spears were fully submerged in two-thirds of the ground.

The spear quivered as if something had struck him.

"Successful!"

Fengyun smiled.

The movement of the spear meant that his attack had achieved the expected effect.

He walked quickly to the spear, cut off a thick bamboo, inserted it into the ground, and quickly dug.

As he dug, the vibration of the spear diminished rapidly, and soon came to a complete stillness.

After digging down about two feet deep, Fengyun felt that his hands were empty, and when he looked down, he found a hollow below.

He enlarged the cavity and found that it was not a cavity but part of an underground passage, which he dug through.

At this time, he also saw clearly what was stabbed by the spear. It was a gray-white animal with a relatively slender body. The spear pierced through its back and firmly nailed it to the ground.

He seized the spear, drew it, and lifted the animal with it.

When his gaze fell on its mouth, his eyes lit up.

The spear had clearly wounded its guts, and blood flowed from its mouth, but it wasn't that that really caught his attention, but its incisors, flat and flat, sharp at the tip, like a chisel.

If this kind of incisors are not suitable for eating bamboo, Fengyun himself can't convince himself.

With such iconic incisors, the identity of the animal he impaled to death was readily apparent, it was a bamboo eater.

There is another powerful reason for his determination.

It's somewhat similar to a gopher.

Bao told him and Lei that the purpose of hunting the bamboo-eating beasts was to test their training performance, so he was most likely to find animals with similar characteristics to the gophers as targets.

Fengyun pulled the bamboo eater off the spear, opened its mouth, and found that its incisors were deeply embedded in the upper jaw, very firmly.

Pulling it out forcefully, it was as long as a middle finger.

He wiped the blood off his teeth with dirt, and put it in a bag he sewed from gopher skin.

Looking around, he carried the bamboo-eating beast and walked towards a particularly tall bamboo forest.

It looks more open under the big bamboo, not as crowded as the thin bamboo forest.

He found a thick bamboo, nailed the bamboo-eating beast to it with a spear, skinned it, removed its internal organs, dug a hole, buried the skin and internal organs, so as not to attract wild beasts.

Pulling out the knife, he tapped lightly on the bamboo, and then he stopped in front of a bamboo and chopped it in two with a wave of his arm.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of clear water flowed out from the cut.

This is a way to find water that Bao once taught him.

In the bamboo forest, there is clear water in some bamboos, which is very clean and safe to drink.

He gently pulled the bamboo, let it tilt, poked his head, and used his mouth to catch the water that flowed out. It was very sweet, and there was a fragrance of bamboo, which was delicious.

He cut off some bamboos, washed the blood of the bamboo-eating animals with the water inside, chopped them into larger pieces, kneaded them with salt and seasonings, stuffed them into bamboo tubes, put some bamboo leaves, and then used mud Keep your mouth shut.

Go a little farther, dig a hole in the ground, bury the bamboo tube containing the meat of the bamboo-eating beast, find some dead bamboo on it, and light a fire.

This method of handling food can avoid attracting carnivorous beasts due to the aroma of grilled food, and at the same time, it does not delay his feasting.

I put some more dead bamboo on the fire, stood up, climbed up a particularly thick bamboo, wrapped my legs around the bamboo, and looked around to see if there were any traces of dangerous beasts.

When he opened the bamboo tube to eat meat later, it was inevitable that there would be some fragrance.

He opened the bamboo tube and sent the meat into his stomach at an extremely fast speed. With the help of Tun, his body was greatly strengthened, and he was not afraid of being scalded at all.

There was a trace of regret on his face, the meat of the bamboo eater was delicious, and he should chew it slowly instead of swallowing it whole.

I don't know if it's because of eating bamboo for a long time, or because it's cooked in bamboo tubes. The meat has a delicate fragrance of bamboo, which has a special flavor.

Next, instead of hunting the bamboo-eating beast, he quickly ran in one direction.

Just now when I climbed up the big bamboo to check the traces of wild beasts, I found a mountain in one direction.

He is going to have a look, the main purpose is to find a place to store prey and a safe resting place.

This time was different from the last time he hunted gophers in the valley. The test for him was all-round, not only to complete the task of hunting bamboo-eating beasts, but also to be able to survive in the wild.

Compared with building a shelter in the wild, it is undoubtedly a better choice to find a cave for rest, which is firm and safe.

Feng Yun's speed was very fast, much faster than ordinary people running on the road, but when he arrived at the destination, it still took about two hours.

Fengyun still thinks it is worth it.

As soon as he came to the front of the mountain, Fengyun discovered a rock wall. This is not the key point, the key point is that there is a hole two or three feet away from the ground.

If there are no other creatures in the cave, it will be an ideal resting place.

Fengyun picked up a few stones, put them into the animal skin bag, and jumped up. Instead of jumping directly into the hole, he reached out and grabbed the stones beside the hole, hanging in the air.

Taking the stone out of the animal skin bag and throwing it into the cave, there was a crisp impact sound, Fengyun listened attentively.

After throwing a few more pieces, there was still no movement. He put his head close to the hole and squinted inside.

Although the cave is relatively dark, his eyesight is very good, and he can see the inside clearly. There are no traces of other animals.

Still not at ease, he activated the snake god's eyes, and suddenly the entire cave was completely clean, and there were no other creatures.

At the same time, he also discovered an abnormality. There were traces of excavation inside the cave, which was still very new.

A warm feeling surged in his heart, he guessed the identity of the excavator, it was Lu.

In other words, this cave is basically a resting place that he prepared for him in advance, but he didn't say it clearly.
