After leaving the stockade, heading north, you enter the fertile plain. At the end of the plain is the continuous Mogu mountain range. Bran must first cross this plain, and then cross the Mogu Mountains, before entering the trial ground. The mountain range is like a barrier, separating the wilderness from civilization.
There are large and small settlements in this plain. The number of people in the northern settlements has always been small. There are dozens of people and thousands of people. Most of them stay at around hundreds of people. Natural split migration. Gathering too many people in a limited area is a disaster for the Northlanders. Fortunately, the Northland is vast enough, and now the Northlanders only occupy a corner. As long as you guard the gateway to the Northland, you can ensure sufficient space for survival and development.
...
Bran stumbling forward, his current small body is a bit difficult to walk through the grass. The black cat Huahua stayed in his arms as always, making his situation more difficult. Habits are always terrible. Even in this more difficult situation, the black cat Huahua still habitually lays in Bran’s arms. Bran habitually holds Huahua. The two sides didn’t feel anything wrong. It seemed that only this was justified. .
In the current environment, Bran finds that even if various crises can be detected in advance, it is difficult to effectively avoid them. Mainly because of his current small size, speed and endurance, he can't make the best response. What makes Bran even more annoying is that natural evolution can always find a better way out. In this environment, he cannot perceive the hidden hunters in advance, and they are perfectly integrated with the environment. Usually when Bran finds the opponent, the opponent also enters an effective attack range.
Bran was careless, and the scope of the castle was not comparable to the pure natural environment. This also put him in a real crisis, and a group of jackals surrounded him. These disgusting-looking guys are now salivating, and they keep spinning around him. Huahua launched several attacks before being called back by Bran. Although the necks of these guys were scratched and ripped apart, they didn't hurt the blood vessels under the neck. Natural evolution once again taught Bran an impressive lesson.
Humans use wisdom and tools to make up for their own shortcomings, while animals in nature directly evolve their bodies to cope with various injuries. Huahua's effective attack on humans, when replaced with animals, becomes less lethal. If only facing one or two jackals, Bran and Huahua can easily deal with them. But when faced with a group, coupled with the influence of the surrounding environment, Bran found that he could not use it at all. The jackals were digging around in the grass, and his knives couldn't leave his hands. Once he leaves his hand, the chain that controls the short knife will be entangled by the grass path. If the short knife cannot be recovered, it will only plunge him into a greater crisis.
A jackal is too careless, trying to distract Bran from the post-interview provocative. A blade of light swept across its neck. This time it was not as lucky as its previous companions. Its throat was cut open, and after jumping a few steps, it fell to the ground, beginning its last struggle in life.
Bran's weapon also showed defects at this time. If he had a spear or a long knife, he would not be so embarrassed. He habitually brought all the bits and pieces into this place to deal with human thinking, and now he must pay for his carelessness.
Bran can only walk slowly and staggeringly, trying to get out of this grassland. As long as there is an open area of several meters, he can kill or drive these nasty guys more easily. But no, even if he puts his perception to the extreme, there is still nothing in his perception.
Now we can only compete for will, who can't hold on first. Bran walked forward firmly, and the jackals also turned around him patiently.
The knife light flashed again, and the third guy whose throat was cut.
These guys are becoming more and more cautious, they carefully test Bran's attack range, and constantly tease Bran. The dense grass blocked Bran's vision, making him accustomed to vision feeling very uncomfortable. Although Moli.com can still feed back all kinds of information, especially in the area directly covered by Moli.com, this feedback is more precise and clear, but he is not used to it or not, which makes his actions a little hesitant. At this time, the black cat Huahua had already jumped to the ground, and followed his steps.
A jackal trying to attack Huahua, was found by Huahua, hugged his neck directly, and bit his throat firmly, then Bran stayed beside Huahua, watching the jackal gradually stop struggling.
He could hear the chirping and commotion of the jackals around him, but there was no fear or retreat.
Come here first, Bran stopped. The smell of blood will attract all kinds of predators, and the chaotic scene may provide a chance to leave. But before that, take part of this jackal as food.
Bran opened the jackal's back and removed the two pieces of meat attached to the vertebrae. At this time, the three guys who went around behind Bran thought they had caught the opportunity. They handed out their paws toward Bran's back. Bran's knife light spread again. Two guys with broken paws screamed and ran away. One guy with a severed neck became a new snack.
Now Bran is sitting in front of the corpses of the two jackals, holding a piece of meat in his hands and slowly biting bit by bit, while Huahua is also chewing on the other. The surrounding jackals burrowed in the grass and made rustling sounds, and they also called out the howling sounds of the same kind.
Bran didn't understand that this is not the season for lack of food. This group of jackals should also have good wisdom, why they will entangle themselves endlessly. Especially after killing and wounding a few animals by themselves, they should give up. This is not the response of a group of good predators.
I must have neglected something, that is why this result was caused, but what is it that I have neglected?
Originally, Bran hoped that there would be a few white wolves among the beasts attracted by the blood, so he could follow the white wolves and leave. But with more and more rustling in the grass, Bran no longer reported this extravagant hope.
Long Jin, who had been assimilated by Bran, slowly opened, covering his body and Huahua's body like skin. This time I am afraid it will be a head-to-head contest, not the previous temptation. But why is this? Head-to-head is good for Bran, who is worried about endless harassment. As long as he enters his attack range, he doesn't mind telling these beasts what Bran's knife is.
