Chapter 53: The Ground Armored Beast Under the Thunder Tree
The colorful pheasant was put into an animal skin bag and carried forward by Jiang Xuan.
The colorful pheasant's night vision is relatively poor, and the animal skin bag is very dark. When it couldn't see the light, it struggled a few times and stopped making noises.
The four of them continued to move forward, looking for more prey.
"Ouch!"
In the distance, a giant toothed tiger roared angrily, as if it was fighting some ferocious beast. It was very ferocious.
Jiang Xuan and others avoided that area because their bodies were too small and could not stop the beasts from attacking.
"Hey, it seems like I've been to this place before."
As he walked, Jiang Xuan found that the surrounding environment gave him a familiar feeling.
In order to obtain more prey, they often take different routes every time they go into the mountains to hunt. Some routes are longer and some are shorter.
Obviously, this place is one of the less visited routes.
"I've been here before. There should be a thunder tree ahead."
Chi Shao's memory is very good, she remembers this place.
"I remembered, there was indeed a thunder tree."
After being reminded by Chi Shao, Jiang Xuan also remembered where this place was.
In spring, they had been here before and encountered a thunder tree.
However, at that time, the Thunder Tree had just sprouted, and its magic was not reflected at all.
"Sister, I remember you said that there is a kind of fruit that will explode when ripe on the thunder tree, and there is also a ground beetle under the tree that can steal prey, right?"
"Yes, that is indeed the case." Chi Shao replied affirmatively.
"Okay, then let's go over and see if we can catch an armored beast and bring it back as a sacrifice!"
Jiang Xuan left as soon as he said so. Uncaria and Nan Xing were also very excited because they had never seen this magical plant.
As Chi Shao walked, he reminded seriously: "The Thunder Tree is very dangerous now. In the past, the hunting team of the Deer Tribe had to walk around when they encountered it, and they didn't dare to catch the ground beast under the tree. Don't do it easily later."
Close."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, sister, I won't be reckless."
After becoming the leader, Jiang Xuan's character became more calm.
Because he holds the entire Vine Tribe in his hands, and if he makes a wrong decision, it may kill everyone, so he must be calm.
Chi Shao was also relatively reassured about Jiang Xuan, so she didn't say anything more.
"Boom!"
As soon as they approached the thunder tree, they heard a loud noise, and some debris scattered at an extremely fast speed. The leaves along the way were smashed, which was very scary.
"Is this the Thunder Fruit explosion?"
Jiang Xuan looked at this scene in surprise.
The power of this fruit is greater than Jiang Xuan imagined, no wonder it can kill wild beasts.
Chi Shao stared at the fruit the size of a human head warily and said: "Yes, this is the Thunder Fruit explosion. If you get close accidentally, it can kill people."
Uncaria pointed to the bottom of the tree and said: "Chief, there is a gray rabbit that was killed under the tree."
At the place of the explosion, there was a large gray rabbit, which had been blown to pieces.
When the Thunder Fruit explodes, some pulp will be scattered on the ground, which is the bait used by the Thunder Tree to attract animals.
This gray-haired rabbit was probably attracted by the pulp and lost its life.
The gray rabbit is one of the large hares in the jungle. It is very large. An adult gray rabbit can weigh thirty or forty pounds.
One of the domestication targets of the Vine Tribe is this gray-haired rabbit, because it eats grass and reproduces very quickly, making it suitable for breeding.
Jiang Xuandao: "Then let's see if the bloody smell of this gray-haired rabbit can draw out the underground beast."
Jiang Xuan wanted to see what the armored beast looked like. If there was a chance, he would also like to capture one and take it back as a sacrifice.
The earth armored beast is very precious and is also an excellent sacrifice.
The four of them hid in a nearby big tree and observed the holes in the ground from a high position to see if any earth-shelled beasts had come out.
Not long after, Jiang Xuan saw a head emerging from a dirt hole under the thunder tree, looking very sneaky.
This thing looks a bit like a pangolin, with thick scales all over its body and smaller eyes.
But its head is much larger than that of a pangolin, and its mouth is also larger, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, making it look quite fierce.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Thunder Tree seemed to feel the movement from the ground. Two thunder fruits the size of human heads fell off the tree instantly, fell to the ground, and exploded.
However, the Earth Armored Beast seemed to be very experienced. When the Thunder Fruit fell, it had quickly retracted into the hole, and the two Thunder Fruits could not explode it at all.
"This Earth Armored Beast is indeed a habitual offender, not even the Thunder Fruit can explode it."
Jiang Xuan was astonished at what he saw. The world is really huge and full of wonders.
Chi Shao said: "I heard from the hunting team that a small number of slow-reacting ground armored beasts will also be killed by explosions. Perhaps because of this, those who can survive and steal the prey are very smart." p>
After a while, the sound of digging soil came from the ground. It was obvious that the armored beast was digging a hole.
During this process, a few more Thunder Fruits fell, but even if they blasted out a few craters on the ground, they couldn't do anything to the Earth Armored Beasts underground.
This is one thing reducing another thing.
After the armored beast obviously saw the location of the gray rabbit that was killed by the explosion, it wanted to dig a hole from the ground, dig directly under the gray rabbit, and steal the body of the gray rabbit directly.
This is also a trick they always use.
"How can we catch the Earth Armor Beast without being hurt by the Thunder Fruit?"
Jiang Xuan fell into deep thought. He wanted to come up with a safe and effective way.
He thought for a long time and finally set his sights on those thunder fruits.
"If I directly detonate the thunder fruits on the tree, then all the thunder fruits in the tree will explode directly!"
"In this case, wouldn't there be no danger if we go under the tree to catch the ground armored beast?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up and he thought this idea was a good one.
"But, how to detonate the thunder fruit on the tree?" Jiang Xuan fell into thinking again.
These thunder fruits should explode directly after being hit. This can be seen from the explosion after they hit the ground.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the tools around him, and finally focused on the bow and arrow.
"Yes, shoot with a bow and arrow!"
"However, with so many Thunder Fruits exploding together, the power should be terrifying. We can't shoot on the trees, we have to find a place to hide."
Jiang Xuan looked around and found several huge rocks.
"Let's go down the tree, go behind the boulder, and hide after shooting."
The four of them climbed down from the tree one by one, and then walked behind the huge rocks.
At this time, Jiang Xuan's hard-earned archery came in handy.
He took off the bow and arrow from his back, took a deep breath, then nocked the bow and arrow, and aimed at the Thunder Fruit on a tree.
Thunder Fruits are relatively large and numerous, and they are not far away, so they are relatively easy to shoot.
"Whoops!"
Jiang Xuan aimed at the largest thunder fruit and shot an arrow.
"Squat down."
After the arrow was shot, Jiang Xuan didn't have time to see the result and directly pulled the others to squat down.
"Boom!"
The thunder fruit was shot and exploded, with the shattered shell flying around at a terrifying speed.
Then, a terrible scene occurred.
"Boom boom boom..."
All the Thunder Fruits on the tree were affected, and a series of explosions occurred.
There were thunderous explosions in the forest, which were continuous and frightened the nearby birds and animals into running away like crazy.
Even the armored beast underground stopped digging and hid in a deeper cave.
Jiang Xuan felt all kinds of dirt, gravel, and fruit fragments flying around him, and his face turned pale. If the boulder hadn't blocked them, they would have been in danger.
Chi Shao, Uncaria, and Nan Xing were also so scared that they covered their ears.
When everything was over, the branches of the thunder trees were all broken by the explosion, and there were no thunder fruits left on the trees.
Even the nearby trees were destroyed in large areas, and the scene was very scary.
