After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the grandparents could only sigh.
After listening to this, Qiqi remained silent. At just over three years old, Qiqi is already quite sensible and can help with some chores around the house.
Although he still didn't know what kind of ability Qiqi had awakened, Lu Yuan still felt quite indebted to the little girl, as he had spent too little time with her.
After a day of packing, Lu Yuan and his group said a simple goodbye to their families and immediately returned to the grasslands.
Upon arriving at the grassland again, Lu Yuan and the others were stunned by what they saw.
The entire grassland was densely covered with bison. The bison were very tall, with a shoulder height of nearly five meters and a body length of more than ten meters.
The two enormous bull horns give it a powerful and aggressive look.
Nearby, numerous herds of animals, including cheetahs, lions, and hounds, circled overhead, while vultures waited to scavenge for carrion. The atmosphere on the grassland was tense, with all sorts of large carnivores waiting for their chance.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Yuan immediately recalled the documentaries he had watched on television. Wasn't this exactly what happened on the grasslands? The migration of bison represented a bloody and unsavory path.
Each migration results in the death of many of their kind, but also the birth of many more calves.
They migrate from one place to another in order to find more suitable grasslands to feed their offspring. They are the largest group in the entire grassland and migrate every year. Lu Yuan doesn't know if they will stay here indefinitely.
After a brief discussion with the others, Lu Yuan quickly identified several potential locations for settling down nearby.
"It's dangerous here, and it's different from before. There are a lot of wild animals guarding this place, and we can't get close at all. So the best way to avoid trouble is to stay away from them and choose a safer place. We've just identified these locations using drones."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he drew several circles on the map with a pen.
"The first location has very few animals, but it's the furthest and safest place, about 20 kilometers away from where wild animals roam! If you want to get to the grassland as soon as possible, you'll probably have to drive for a while, and the road conditions aren't very good!"
"There are a few wild boars at the second location, but these creatures don't pose a significant threat to us!"
"The other locations are fairly standard, not particularly dangerous, but there is still a slight risk involved. What do you all think?"
After exchanging glances and having a brief discussion, the group decided to choose the location for the first meeting.
Although this place is far away, it is very quiet and there are no other natural enemies, which ensures that they can live here in peace.
Secondly, the roads here are relatively flat, so there shouldn't be any problem for cars to drive through.
After selecting the location, everyone immediately made plans for the surrounding area and then used drones and various surveillance equipment to camouflage the area.
Then they found lion droppings nearby and scattered them around. Lion droppings are something that all animals on the entire grassland are very wary of.
This way, the wild animals that were looking for food would miss the place.
After everyone had prepared everything, they began packing their things, ready to head to the grasslands.
They have several types of drones, all of which are very lightweight and can better detect terrain. The only drawback is that their battery life is not very good.
For this reason, Lu Yuan and his team formed several small teams to search for any dead prey that had been spotted in the vicinity. They didn't want the whole body of the prey, but rather its skull.
During the following period, everyone went out to hunt for prey on their own each day.
Three days have passed, and Lu Yuan compared the various pictures sent that day.
What they need to do now is to organize the collected video information one by one, leaving no frame unchecked. As soon as they see any valuable information, they immediately lock onto the location and then lead their team there.
That very night they had collected dozens of prey.
These prey were either wild animals trampled to death during research or bison killed by wild animals.
Looking at their prey, Lu Yuan and the others' eyes turned red.
"My goodness, so much prey! We probably won't be able to finish it all in one day tomorrow!"
"Yeah, wow, dozens of prey! So many in just one day! And we haven't even collected them all yet. If our drone hadn't run out of power, we probably would have had even more!"
Lu Yuan was also excited. He took the map and marked all the coordinates of the geographical locations, and then determined the locations based on them.
"Not all prey can find crystals; there are many places that can't be entered at all, and some places are simply inaccessible."
That area is infested with wild animals; going in is certain death. Having ruled out those inaccessible places, we're left with fewer than ten areas we can search. Everyone, be prepared and set off tomorrow!
Upon hearing this, everyone wore expressions of helplessness. After all, entering the pack of wild beasts meant certain death, so they had to find the unclaimed skeletons.
The next morning, before dawn, Lu Yuan and the others had already packed their bags and started heading towards the first location.
