Chapter 367: Delta
Faced with the fierce attacks of the leopards, Wang Yang and others were calm and responded calmly. They had experienced even more dangerous situations. Now they were surrounded by a group of leopards, which was nothing.
Although those leopards attack fiercely, they are definitely not attacking hard. They are all fiddling to find flaws. If they are just simple defense, it is not difficult.
Compared to the calmness of Wang Yang and others, the leopards were a little anxious. They were in large quantities and naturally they needed a lot of food every day.
If Wang Yang and the six men could be taken down, they could eat for a day or two without hunting.
As for the four leopards who were chasing more than a dozen craftsmen, they obviously didn't have any expectations. The six people were so difficult to deal with, let alone a dozen people?
The reason why I chased was mainly to drive away, avoid the opponent from attacking together, and to eat these few six people with peace of mind.
This technique is basically the most common technique used by predators in collective life. Whether it is a wolf, lion, leopard, hyenas, or other animals, they do it like this.
But the leopards only judge their strength from the quantity, which is really a big joke. If they all chased the craftsmen with their hands, they would definitely get a lot of food, and they would not be as helpless as they are now.
After resisting several more attacks, Wang Yang's heart slowly sank. He was not afraid of the leopards defending themselves. After all, hunting requires efficiency.
If you can't catch it for a long time, the leopards will definitely retreat, but the problem is that the longer the time goes, the further the craftsmen will run, and it will be difficult for them to catch up.
At this moment, the craftsmen were left with only a small dot. Seeing them running around in a mess, they thought they had already untied the rope along the way.
As for how many craftsmen are left, Wang Yang didn't have time to count, so he could only take a glance occasionally and didn't dare to be distracted for too long.
"Roar~" The leopards seemed very annoyed, and their multiple attacks were ineffective. Let them understand one thing, either retreat or fight against these guys.
As for the injured leopard, there were only a few breaths left and blood flowed all over the floor.
These leopards hesitated and judged, feeling unwilling to accept revenge, and hunted six people while thinking about taking revenge. It was meaningless to spend it here.
Although they were hungry, they were not as hungry as they had to pay a heavy price to fight. If they were really hungry, they would not fight with Wang Yang and the others. Just six people, how many taels of meat can they have?
After a stalemate for a while, the four leopards who were chasing came back.
Wang Yang glanced at it and saw that each of the four leopards was biting a corpse under the mouths and dragging it slowly.
The bloody smell stimulated the leopards' sense of smell. They were surprised to find that the four companions who were responsible for driving them out had a great harvest!
Under the stimulation of blood, they ran towards their companions and stopped besieging Wang Yang and the other six.
"Huh~ Fortunately, it's only been more than half an hour. It's not too long, otherwise there would be no trace of the craftsmen."
When I looked up, the craftsmen were gone. It was impossible to wipe out the entire army. After all, only four leopards should have run away.
But this didn't matter much. Wang Yang remembered the direction they ran away. Even if he didn't remember, he could follow the trail.
Wang Yang dare not say that he is an expert in the tracking traces of survival in the wild, but it is almost the same.
"Retreat carefully." Wang Yang winked at everyone, afraid that they would not understand, so he made a gesture.
After seeing everyone nodding, they circled the leopards and evacuated in the direction where the craftsmen ran away.
The leopard group stared at them with flickering eyes, making several people dare not run wildly.
It was not until it was at least two hundred meters away from the leopard that it turned around and rushed wildly.
On the way, they saw the body of a craftsman again. They wanted to be killed by a leopard, but unfortunately, the four leopards could not be dragged back five people, but without thinking, they knew that the leopard group would come to eat them soon.
No one dares to stay for a long time, so he continues to speed up and run wildly.
Their speed is extremely fast. This is something they have practiced with real guns and ammunition. Wang Yang has trained since childhood, but the group of craftsmen have also developed the ability to run long distances during this period.
After two hours of chasing, I haven't caught up yet.
It took another two hours, burning with the scorching sun, Wang Yang and others were exhausted and sweated a lot. Finally, at the end of the horizon, they saw a group of craftsmen.
There were only ten people left of them, and it seemed that they were about to stop and rest. After all, it was already dusk and the sky was getting darker.
"Chasing!" Wang Yang refused to stop and continued to pursue. After finally chasing some, the group of craftsmen also discovered Wang Yang and ran away quickly.
Before we knew it, the sky gradually darkened, and in a vague way, we could still see the craftsmen in front of us, never leaving our sight.
"Stop, stop chasing." Wang Yang raised his hand and stopped.
The five people behind him were suddenly as if they were granted a general amnesty, lying on their backs on the ground, breathing heavily, and their chests fluctuated violently.
In fact, they have reached the limit of their physical fitness. Running in winter and running in tropical afternoons is really different, and their physical energy consumption is very terrifying.
They had long been unable to run, but Wang Yang didn't say anything, so they gritted their teeth and continued to run wildly.
The reason why I was able to run was entirely due to a stubborn force and tense nerves.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Yang asked them to stop. He had not reached his limit yet, and he was still thinking about chasing the craftsmen to "the moon-black geese fly high, and the craftsmen escape at night."
Now I have to stop.
After resting for a while, everyone finally sat up and planned to take food and drink, but suddenly they found that everything they had eaten and drunk was all over the craftsmen, and they were completely stunned...
"Uh..." Wang Yang was also stunned, and then almost sweared. At that time, he hung food, jars and other things on the craftsmen because he had to be on guard at any time and would not happen if he encountered an emergency.
Obstacle.
It didn't happen, but it made those craftsmen successful.
"Plans cannot keep up with changes, man's calculations are worse than God's calculations."
Fortunately, he also brought hunting tools such as this and immediately fished.
It’s true that there are many fish in this river, big and plump, which really matches the text "The Great Northern Wilderness" I learned when I was in elementary school.
After solving the food problem in just two ways, Wang Yang wanted to take advantage of the darkness that the craftsmen had no light source to chase after him.
This is an excellent way to come. Craftsmen have no light source and will die at any time if they walk around.
Having a light source yourself can shock some wild animals to get close and reduce some trouble.
When they thought of it, they did it. They took the torch and touched the footsteps of the craftsmen and chased them.
But an hour later, they arrived at the place where the craftsmen had stayed, and they were speechless.
It turned out that their torches not only shocked the beasts, but also scared the craftsmen. When they saw the fire moving, they ran away at night with no chance.
"Forget it! It's better not to chase after it." Wang Yang thought clearly that unless he put out the torch and went through the dark, he would not be able to disturb the craftsman.
But when the torch is put out and the paint is smeared, even the craftsmen cannot be found, and they will be coveted by many wild beasts.
No words all night.
The next day, the pursuit unfolded again, and everyone chased after him, and the craftsmen ran wildly in front. Although both sides fought hard, the craftsmen were really fighting hard.
While running, I chewed steamed buns, and even saved time to hunt and eat.
Wang Yang was also angry and caught a raw fish, and started eating it. Good guy, I haven't eaten raw for many years, and I don't need to adapt to the food now.
After a day, I didn't catch up with the craftsmen. It can be seen that the craftsmen are also tired, but those who can escape from the leopard are also the elites among craftsmen. Their temporary life is really not inferior to Wang Yang.
But they are slowly deviating from the river.
Wang Yang found that it was definitely not a solution to pursue this way. According to the map drawn by the craftsmen, he had to move along the river.
But the river channel is not straight, and Wang Yang will catch up with him after turning around, so the craftsmen simply ran to the grassland.
Looking at the discarded bottles and jars on the ground, Wang Yang calmed down and analyzed it carefully. He felt that there was no need to chase it so tightly. If it was too tight, the further the craftsmen would deviate, which would be detrimental to the copper mine.
Nowadays, craftsmen run faster and throw away the cans containing water. There will definitely be no support from water sources.
Sooner or later they will return to the river and take the initiative to approach the copper mine.
All you need to do is not to throw them away.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yang did not continue to pursue the craftsman in the next few days.
The craftsmen did not have enough water to return to the river and continued along the river.
Sometimes they will relax and don’t want to run away from their lives. They plan to settle down and rest, but whenever they relax, Wang Yang will appear in front of them. Wake them up. If you don’t hurry up, I will catch up!
The craftsmen dragged their extremely tired bodies and had to die every day.
Along the way, Wang Yang discovered that there had been changes near the river channel again. The Xumang grassland disappeared again, and familiar tender green grass appeared, and there were more stones.
Now that they have straw sandals, they are not afraid of being scratched by stones.
Two days later, the scenery has changed drastically, with tender green grass everywhere, and some small flowers blooming alone, arrogantly.
Trees gradually emerged on both sides of the strait, which was a complete transitional stage, without abrupt forest lines.
Perhaps because of seeing green things, Wang Yang and others felt that the sun was not that vicious, but it was still very hot.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Yang felt that they might have reached the junction of the tropical and temperate zones.
In the past two days, they have found that the river surface has become a little wider, and today, they can hear a lot of flowing water, which sounds like they have reached the confluence of two rivers.
The two sides of the straits have also been replaced by dense forests, with mountains in the distance, and round stones and typical river pebbles appearing on the ground.
Going further forward, they arrived at a delta. They were in the center of the delta, with turbulent rivers on both sides, with wide river surfaces, very fast and deep water.
