Chapter 70 No chance

Lin Qi found a stone on the lawn to sit down, then opened her backpack and took out first the scallion pancake, then the boiled eggs, and finally the military water bottle.

The scallion pancake has a very overbearing taste, and it is still very fragrant even when it is cold.

Lin Qi took a bite, and loud swallowing sounds were heard around her.

She paused and turned to look around. Everyone turned their heads away in panic.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Lin Qi was a little hesitant. Should she continue eating?

"Lin Qi, where did you buy the military kettle?" Jian Tongyi interrupted the silence.

"It was given to me by someone else. I don't know." As to who it was, Lin Qi did not say clearly.

"I've wanted this kettle for a long time. Can you show it to me?" Jian Tongyi was indeed jealous of Lin Qi's kettle. His father had one, but his father had three sons, and my brother and younger brother also wanted it, so his father didn't give it to any of them.

I didn’t expect Lin Qi actually had one. Who gave it to her?

Lin Qi took a sip of water, screwed the bottle shut, and handed it to him.

Jian Yi took it carefully and said in surprise, "It's actually brand new!"

"What else?" Lin Qi was puzzled. Is there anyone who uses something like a kettle that has been used by someone else?

Jian Tongyi smiled and said, "If you have an old one, sell it to me. I won't mind."

"No." Lin Qi refused bluntly.

The lunches that others brought were either multi-grain cakes or cooked sweet potatoes and taro. The water was either in bamboo tubes, glass jars, or glass bottles for infusion.

In this comparison, whether it is food or water containers, Lin Qi is the clear winner.

As expected of someone who hunted ten (fifteen) wolves, her living standard is really not bad!

"Hey, there are animal footprints here." A team member suddenly said.

When the others heard this, they immediately ran over out of curiosity.

“So many footprints!”

"There's a path here that seems to be heading over there. Let's follow it and see if there's prey ahead."

They left as soon as they said they would. Everyone quickly packed up their things and followed.

"Are we going too?" Luo Cheng didn't move and asked Lin Qi's opinion first.

Lin Qi hummed, "Hold your knives and be alert."

As soon as she said this, the others suddenly became nervous.

Jian Tongyi asked, "Lin Qi, did you find anything?"

"Not yet. But there is water over there." Lin Qi said, "There are many footprints on the ground, which shows that there are many animals here. I just don't know if we are lucky enough to encounter them now."

Jian Tongyi, Luo Cheng, Luo Dali and Luo Qingbai looked at each other and clenched the knives in their hands at the same time.

After walking about two hundred meters, everyone heard the sound of flowing water.

"It's a small stream, the water is very shallow and clear, not even knee-deep."

"See if there are any fish?"

"There's no way to catch fish even if there are any. I don't even have the right tools."

"Hey, I found one. It's the size of two fingers. It swims pretty fast and is hard to catch!"

A group of people were by the stream, some washing their hands, some catching fish. The atmosphere was cheerful until a black bear slowly walked over to the other side of the stream.

The black bear was huge, and its presence was very strong as it walked towards them step by step. The people present spotted it almost instantly.

What a big guy!

Compared to the last time they encountered the python and were at a loss, this time everyone held their breath and retreated carefully.

They retreated and the black bear advanced.

It also discovered them, but did not retreat because of their "power in numbers".

The black bear was not slow and soon reached the water's edge.

On the human side, everyone had retreated to Lin Qi's side.

"Lin Qi, are you sure?" Lao Gao was nervous and excited. He had only heard of bear meat and bear paws but had never tasted them.

Lin Qi narrowed her eyes slightly. "If there was only this bear, then there would be no problem, but things are not that simple. Look over there—"

Lin Qi pointed in a direction and everyone looked in the direction of her finger, only to find that when their attention was on the black bear, a leopard came not far away.

A bear and a leopard, two big guys, were moving towards them with a fierce look in their eyes.

"What kind of luck is this!"

"Shall we run?"

As soon as the word "running" was mentioned, everyone immediately became eager to move, but no one moved. They were all waiting for an order to tell them how to run and in which direction to run.

If we get separated from everyone in this deep forest, the situation will probably not be any better than it is now.

"Fuck! There are also some behind us!" one team member cursed.

"What?"

"Where?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked behind them.

"There, see it, tiger!"

"My God, are they planning this?"

"But aren't they three species? There's no communication barrier. How is it planned?"

How can they escape when they are attacked from three sides?

Everyone's face turned pale. They just wanted to kill a few wild boars, but why didn't they notice the wild boars, but the pythons, black bears, leopards and tigers were already arranged.

"Lin Qi, what should we do?" Lao Gao trembled.

"Calm down, don't be afraid." Lin Qi's voice was still calm, with a certain calming power, "Everyone gather together, and those with knives stand on the periphery."

"Everyone, do as Lin Qi says. Those who have sickles or axes should stand outside, and those who don't have knives should stand inside." Lao Gao gave the orders quickly.

Lin Qi stood at the edge of the team, and the vine in her hand was split into two parts, holding one part in each hand.

A bear, a leopard, and a tiger slowly walked towards them as if they had made an appointment. As the distance between them continued to shorten, their hearts rose to their throats. Although it was late autumn, they were all sweating profusely.

The heavy breathing became more and more rapid. The three beasts seemed to sense the fear of their prey and moved forward a little faster.

It’s this distance!

Lin Qi first picked up a stone with her toes and hit the black bear hard. Almost at the same time, a piece of her vine flew towards the leopard on the side, entangled one of its hind legs, and pulled hard. The leopard lost its balance and fell to the ground, being dragged for a distance.

The next second, she pulled the leopard and ran two quick steps towards the tiger on the other side.

Bang!

The vines slapped the tiger's huge body hard.

roar--

The tiger felt pain and took two steps back in fear.

Lin Qi didn't even look back, dragging the leopard and dodging to the side. The black bear had recovered from being hit by the stone and was about to pounce on the crowd.

There was another crisp sound.

A bloody mark appeared on the black bear's rough belly. It couldn't understand why the vine still fell on it even though it pushed its head away?

Black bear retreats——

"Lin Qi!" Luo Cheng shouted. At this moment, the tiger was only two or three meters away from him.

The tiger jumped up, and Lin Qi threw the leopard that was entangled in the vines away.

Bang!

The two beasts collided with each other and fell to the ground.

Lin Qi didn't even look at it. She waved the vines with both hands, quickly and fiercely, hitting the black bear with each whip more ferociously than the last. In the blink of an eye, blood marks appeared on the black bear's body.

It wasn't even touching the opponent's body, but it was already crying and screaming. What's the reason for this?

The black bear let out a strange cry, then turned and ran away.

As the black bear ran away, Lin Qi flashed to the side of the tiger and leopard.

However, before she could swing the whip, the tiger and the leopard ran away and rushed into the forest without looking back.

Is this the end?

Everyone was a little confused. They had already prepared to fight to the death, but the enemy ran away before they even moved a hand.

thump!

Someone sat down on the ground.

"I was scared to death!" Lao Gao touched his chest. He had lived for almost fifty years, but this was the first time he had experienced such a thrilling experience.

"It's scary, but it's exciting, isn't it?" someone said.

At this moment, a series of passionate and admiring gazes fell on Lin Qi.

Lin Qi lowered her brows and slowly wrapped the vine back around her hand.

"Lin Qi, you are so amazing. You actually threw such a heavy leopard away!"

"Your vines are amazing. They dance like snakes. They're so flexible!"

"It's a pity that we didn't fight alone, otherwise, Lin Qi, you would definitely be able to keep any one of them alive!"

"What a pity! Who knew there would be three of them at once?"

"Will there be other beasts coming over soon? Should we rest or hurry up and leave?"

“........”

Everyone was talking at once, as if only by talking more could they ease the fear they had just felt.

"No need to go, just wait here." Lin Qi said.

She walked to the water and washed her hands in the cool stream.

Everyone was confused, "Aren't you afraid of other beasts coming?"

"There shouldn't be any other beasts." Jian Tongyi answered, "There's an old saying that there can't be two tigers in one mountain. There can't be too many beasts in one place because the prey is limited. The black bear, leopard and tiger just now must be a coincidence. This also shows that nearby animals should come here to drink water. The black bear, leopard and tiger are gone, and other animals should be waiting to come."

"That makes sense, so we just need to wait here."

Therefore, everyone simply sat down where they were. Some of those whose legs were shaking no longer tried to hold on, but slumped to the ground and leaned on the people next to them.

"I've even thought of my will just now."

"What kind of will are you thinking about? You've been eaten, so there's no time to write a will. I'm different from you. I'm just sad that I didn't get to eat meat before I died."

“........”

Everyone waited quietly by the stream, and first a musk deer came, which Lin Qi killed by herself. It was not until the sun was about to set that the herd of wild boars they had been looking for for a long time finally arrived.

"One, two, three... eight in total!"

The team members' voices trembled with excitement.

"Wild boars are as ferocious as tigers, so everyone please be careful," Lao Gao warned.

The team members gripped their weapons tightly and nodded secretly.

Here we come!

The wild boar was coming in their direction!

The herd of wild boars that originally wanted to drink water, after discovering Lin Qi and others, actually rushed directly towards them.

“Spread out!”

"Throw stones!"

"Be careful of their long fangs!"

"......"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

ah--

“Save me! Save me!”

One team member was knocked to the ground by a wild boar. When he saw the wild boar was about to pounce on him, he hurriedly asked for help.

The next second, a stone passed through the wild boar's head, and blood and brain matter sprayed all over his face.

vomit--

The team member lay on the ground, vomiting continuously.

There were eight wild boars, and besides Lin Qi, there were 45 other men at the scene. In Gao Ren's opinion, even if Lin Qi was very powerful, with so many people working together, they could kill one or two of them.

As a result, when the wild boars came, they panicked and fled in all directions. Some were caught up by the wild boars and had to fight back, but the wild boars were ferocious and they were lucky not to be injured, as there was no way they could hurt the wild boars.

"If several people work together to deal with one, there might be a chance." Lao Gao murmured.

But they were destined to have no chance, because Lin Qi acted too quickly. She wiped out eight wild boars, six big and two small, in less than ten minutes.

Alas~

Lao Gao felt regretful but fortunate at the same time. This was a good result. Although they failed to hunt the wild boar, no one was injured and everyone was safe. He didn't have to worry about explaining himself when he returned.

"Lin Qi, you can also kill the black bear, leopard and tiger just now, right?" He killed eight wild boars so easily, which shows that he still has some strength left.

Lin Qi did not comment, "We need to save our energy to kill the wild boar."

Lao Gao sighed, "We already have black bears, leopards and tigers, why do we need wild boars?"

Lin Qi didn't respond. Wild boars reproduce quickly, but black bears, leopards and tigers do not. If it is possible not to hunt them, then naturally don't kill them.

"There's not much time left, let's go back." Lin Qi reminded.

There were eight wild boars and forty-four young men on the scene. Naturally, Lin Qi didn't have to take on the task of carrying the wild boars. Everyone chopped down trees, cut vines, twisted straw ropes, and worked together to tie up the pigs. It wasn't too strenuous for four people to carry one pig.

By the time everyone started their journey, the sun had already set. It got darker faster in the forest, and it was completely dark before we had walked far.

"Find someone with a good sense of direction and lead the way with a flashlight." Lao Gao said.

"Let me do it." Lin Qi said.

"This is your first time here. Do you remember the direction?" Lao Gao was not very reassured.

"Remember." Lin Qi took the flashlight from his hand, "I don't trust others to lead the way."

The corners of Lao Gao's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, I'm still worried about you leading the way.

"Lin Qi walks in the mountains every day. Captain Gao, just let her lead the way." Luo Cheng said. He trusted Lin Qi more than anyone else.

"Okay, then you go ahead." Lao Gao handed a flashlight to Lin Qi and took one for himself. "I'll walk at the end and use the flashlight to light the way for everyone."

Someone is needed to clear the way when entering the mountains, but when it was Lin Qi's turn to lead the way, not only did she not need to use a sickle to clear the way, the plants and trees seemed to have consciousness and were extremely obedient. Not to mention blocking them, there was no one even trying to trip them up.

How strange!

Could it be that the plants and trees were also frightened by Lin Qi’s mastery aura?

Everyone was puzzled and just felt that the journey was extremely smooth. Although it was dark, they didn't need to worry about their feet and just had to keep moving forward.

After all, Lin Qi even kicked the troublesome stones aside for them.

It took a whole morning to get into the mountain, and less than three hours to get out.

When they saw the house in the distance, everyone couldn't believe it. It came out already?

"Why does it feel like we've only been gone for a short time?" Lao Gao asked everyone's question.

Lin Qi hummed, "Because it's walking in a straight line."

Lao Gao: “…”
