Chapter 137: Bad intentions (additional update for 600 monthly tickets)
At the same time, at the grassland camp...
On this day, Ye Jinghong stood on the mound next to the camp On the top of the room, his eyes kept scanning back and forth around him, and his whole expression looked gloomy.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Recently, more and more animals come to the river to drink water and bathe, and their appearance frequency is becoming more and more frequent.
Considering from the perspective of resource acquisition, this is undoubtedly a good thing, but considering their situation, this is not so good...
Obviously, Ye Jinghong also thought about the issues that Zhou Xu was worried about before.
This forced him to appropriately strengthen the surveillance of the surrounding area. In addition to arranging scouts and patrols to guard the surrounding areas, many times, he himself would go into battle himself and conduct surveillance, just like now so.
Looking across the distant river bank, he could see many grassland herbivores drinking water in groups by the river, and some even simply plunged into the river.
Just when Ye Jinghong was about to look away, a commotion suddenly came, and the group of animals fled in all directions in a panic.
【What's going on? ! 】
At the same time that this thought flashed through Ye Jinghong's mind, a burly beast appeared in Ye Jinghong's field of vision among the lush grass.
“That’s it?!”
The appearance of this beast surprised Ye Jinghong.
When they first arrived in the grassland, they followed the footprints and found traces of a herd of wild antelopes.
If he admitted it correctly, at that time, it was this guy who suddenly came out and killed a wild antelope in one bite.
The antelope herd was frightened and fled in all directions.
Ye Jinghong had never seen such a ferocious beast before. The pressure was even stronger than the giant spider they faced back then.
And precisely because of this, this beast left a very deep impression on Ye Jinghong.
From the moment the camp was set up on this grassland, Ye Jinghong had been thinking about whether he would encounter this beast again.
Now this beast really appeared in front of him again!
This is not a good thing for Ye Jinghong.
He has been thinking about this issue, not because he wants to see this beast, but because he believes that the existence of this beast is a threat that cannot be ignored for them.
If the opponent's activity area is nearby, then they have to be careful.
As soon as this beast appeared, Ye Jinghong undoubtedly immediately got into high spirits.
Thanks to the blessing of their leader, his eyesight is far superior to that of most tribe members, which allows him to observe the beast more clearly.
[The steps of this beast are very heavy, and it feels like it is very laborious...]
By observing the body movements of the beast, a doubt emerged in Ye Jinghong's mind.
【Did something happen to this guy? 】
With Ye Jinghong's thought, the beast in the distance moved slowly to the river with heavy steps, as if intending to drink water and rest.
As a result, after just two sips, the beast seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned its head and let out a menacing roar at the lush grass behind it!
This roar seemed to form some kind of invisible sound wave, shaking the large grass nearby.
From a long distance away, when the roar came, Ye Jinghong's hair stood up instantly, and a strong sense of oppression followed. But Ye Jinghong knew that the roar was definitely not directed at him. At most, he was only affected.
It is hard to imagine that the roar of the beast is so amazing!
Until now, Ye Jinghong’s face was full of horror and disbelief.
And just after this roar, the beast plunged into the lush grass.
In an instant, there was a commotion in the grass.
The grass grew so tall and dense that Ye Jinghong couldn't see anything from a distance.
But with a flurry of excitement, the guys lurking in the grass quickly broke into Ye Jinghong's sight.
【A hyena man? ! 】
The name hyena was proposed by their leader. After that, Ye Jinghong and the others followed suit.
Since their camp was established, it has been located on this grassland for some time.
In these days, although they followed the leader's instructions and kept a low profile throughout the whole process and did not have any contact with these 'neighbors' on the grassland, in the process of avoidance, they would also hide in the grassland for the time being. Observing and gathering intelligence in the dark.
This also gave Ye Jinghong and the others a basic understanding of these hyena people on the grassland.
To put it simply, this is a race of bandits who like to steal and play tricks.
Rather than hunting themselves, the hyena people prefer to directly rob other people's prey, just like they did when they robbed the centaur's prey.
In the absence of sufficient benefits, hyena people rarely behave so actively.
Now that these hyena men are eyeing this beast, there must be some reason.
According to Ye Jinghong's observations so far, these hyena people probably want to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of their competitors in the ecological chain of this region.
In the same area, under normal circumstances, food is limited, which allows predators to form a very direct competitive relationship in the regional ecological chain.
Just like Zhou Xu and the others were with the giant spider.
Under this premise, facing weak competitors, it seems natural for the hyena people to want to get rid of them.
Ye Jinghong has no interest in getting involved. For this kind of thing, just watch the show from a distance.
[This is the location, a little close to our camp, so I’m afraid...]
However, his thoughts had just arisen, and he hadn’t even finished thinking about the next thing. This scene completely changed his expression.
"What a hell!"
At this moment, the beast was so stubborn that it actually led the group of hyenas towards their camp!
Right now, Ye Jinghong didn't dare to bet that the beast would suddenly turn around and take away all the hyenas before they discovered their camp.
Almost as soon as he discovered this situation, he quickly spread the news and put the entire camp into combat mode as quickly as possible!
After this, the miracle did not happen. If they survive here, their scent will inevitably be left nearby.
The hyenas who were chasing the beast at that time were clearly aware of their presence. To put it bluntly, the beast might have rushed over after smelling their scent. No matter how they looked at it, they were not at ease!
