Chapter 471: Poacher and food chain

Among the sparse woods on the edge of the vast grassland, several meters of female African elephants are leading the elephant family, mostly females, with more than twenty heads.
This road, which is very conspicuous among the vegetation and has been trampled by the largest species on the land for a long time, is abnormally flat and solid, allowing its behemoths weighing tons to walk easily.
They are qualified to be leisurely--the huge size and horrible weight allow them to smash any hunter who dares to attack them, whether it is a lion or crocodile, and it takes extraordinary courage to attack giant elephants.
On this earth continent, unless it is hunger and dizziness, no natural creature will take the initiative to challenge these seemingly meek herbivores.
Except ... Arms yourself with wisdom to create tool weapons to jump to the top of the food chain.
In front of the elephant group's walking path, four men with shotguns and dusty men stepped off the off-road vehicle. While observing the elephant group in the distance with a telescope, they approached the elephant path in the forest.
In the half-open trunk of the off-road vehicle with a guard, you can see large and small white ivory with a trace of blood.
The status of the firearms and knives was familiarly checked. Several men worked together to set up a trap device that was removed from the car near the elephant path, and then they squatted a little further with the cover of plants. Whispered--
"It's so small ... what did these mother elephants grow up that can't grow their teeth ..."
"It's pretty good. Some time ago, I even saw an elephant with no teeth."
"No way?"
"Who told you not to read any books? I know this. I remember it was called natural selection? Hey, or artificial selection--
"Anyway, the elephants with long teeth are all lightened first, and the remaining elephants are short-toothed or simply toothless, and their offspring are naturally more likely to have toothless."
"That said, the elephants in the future will have no teeth produced? Hiss-the price of that ivory has not risen in situ? I should leave some good products."
"How long does it take for a ghost to know that? Maybe the elephant herd was killed before that ... but what do we care about in the future? Thinking too much is useless, and it is enough to have money now."
"Also ... hush, they are coming soon."
Perhaps the poachers were too active on this land. The mother elephant, the leader of the elephant herd, noticed something vaguely, stopped with a group of elephants, and whistled a little uneasily.
"Cut, can you smell the car so far? It's getting harder and harder ..."
The leading middle-aged hunter made a gesture, and then he adjusted the position of the shotgun behind him and led several others through the woods.
All the way away from the messy branches and stepping on the stacked leaves, the poachers slowly approached the elephant herd around an arc.
Experienced humans have already summarized many effective hunting rules. They have tacitly circled the main goals and driven the elephants to move with their own movement.
Elephants weighing several tons have a terrifying vitality, and their bodies are still struggling for a long time when they are hit by bullets.
Even if the weapons in their hands are powerful, to really kill the target, they still need to get close to them and hit the elephant's relatively weaker defense denomination from the front to ensure that the attack can directly damage their brain.
This is a test of skill and courage. If you miss it a little, the elephant that has not been killed once will launch a charge and crush the enemy in front of you.
Rather than being struck by an elephant, it might be better to be hit by a car.
But skilled poachers did not give the elephant a chance to fight back.
After some entanglement, the middle-aged poacher walked in front of the mother elephant who placed the order, and he looked at the behemoth with his handsome nose and his head, looking at him less than ten meters away. Speed ​​lifted the double-barrelled shotgun.
"Uh-"
In the smoke-filled room, huge creatures several meters high fell to the ground.
A killing was done neatly. The middle-aged man blew his muzzle. Then he slowly opened the barrel and replaced the shotgun with a new bullet.
The gun is really a good thing. Even a huge creature with a weight of dozens or hundreds of times can be easily solved with the movement of a finger ... this is power, which is the power of humans to surpass nature.
Looking at the giant creature whose legs and feet were still slightly convulsing, the middle-aged man shook his head and was ready to rush to the direction of the elephant screaming on the other side.
But at the moment when the middle-aged man wanted to turn his eyes away, a blood-red color fell from the sky along with the howling wind, and a flesh cave was blasted on the tough flank skin of the elephant.
"What is that ... the red eagle?" The middle-aged man with red afterimage in his eyes stiffened, staring blankly at the huge blood hole on the elephant, a sense of inexplicable fear Gradually spreading in his heart--
The sound of torn flesh and broken bones spread from the elephant's corpse. There seemed to be a monster in the blood hole, swallowing the surrounding food.
Thousands of giant elephant carcasses are shrinking and shrinking at the speed visible to the naked eye ... As several blood-red tentacles travelling through the flesh have torn apart, the wounds of the elephant's denomination were exposed to the air, and the middle-aged poacher is finally out Come back to God.
"Monster ..." The man murmured silently did not have the courage to use his weapon to fight the unknown creature in front of him, and he forcibly controlled his body, which was constantly shaking with fear, trying to slowly move back with the slightest movement. .
However, it is very difficult to move without a sound in the forests with deciduous branches.
As the voice of the man stepping on the broken leaves spread, it seemed that the elephant carcass with only a layer of skin suddenly stopped wriggling.
The next moment, a black and red insect-like creature less than the size of a man's palm slammed out of the elephant's wound and rushed towards the poacher with swift action.
"Fack!"
At the moment of flashing light, the middle-aged man broke his own limit in the face of huge life threats. He burst out with all the potential to shake the muzzle in his hand, and pulled the trigger at the monster that rushed to his feet.
The bullet that erupted from the muzzle accurately hit the high-speed moving black shadow, and the powerful metal bullet broke the weird black shadow on the spot.
However, the monster's first half of the scorpion still rushed to the man's feet under inertia. When he saw the sickle-like arthropod in the volley, he instantly inserted the sharp teeth and sharp arthropods into the man's feet when he touched the ground. wrist.
The severe pain came in an instant, but it disappeared in an instant. The middle-aged man caught the hot gun barrel in a panic and hit his own foot with the handle to try to escape the attack of unknown creatures.
But soon, in vain, he could see the weird sight of his feet-the monster's remains are being integrated into his feet in a supernatural way.
The terrible numbness spread from the right foot without a wound, and the half of the body fell into the ground under the action of unknown toxins. The man fell to the ground ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Then he saw that the monster The interrupted second half of the torso was twisted and transformed into a complete individual smaller by the side of his face.
But the next moment, the monster stopped moving.
In the fear of freezing the soul, the middle-aged man saw the elephant corpse before, a human-like appearance but absolutely impersonal existence, and slowly stood up from the skin of the elephant.
The shudder from life's instinct reminded the middle-aged man desperately-now appearing in front of him are the horrible monsters living on the upper level of the food chain.
In the desperate sight of the man, the creeping monster crawled back like an obedient pet, quickly jumped on the palm of the man's outstretched, and slowly merged into his palm after being looked at it for a while.
A young Asian man full of streamlined muscles slowly walked to the front of the paralyzed middle-aged poacher. Between his walks, a layer of black "cloth" resembling leather was knitted on his body surface.
The young man squatted down. He looked at the man full of fear in his eyes, and said a fairly standard international phrase: "Now, in what century?"
