Chapter 53: The Earth Armored Beast Under the Thunder Tree
The colorful pheasant was put into an animal skin bag and carried forward by Jiang Xuan.
The pheasant had poor night vision and it was very dark in the animal skin bag. Without any light, it struggled a few times and then stopped making noise.
The four continued to move forward, looking for more prey.
“Ouch!”
In the distance, there was a saber-toothed tiger roaring angrily, and it seemed to be fighting with some ferocious beast. It was very ferocious.
Jiang Xuan and others avoided that area because they were too small to withstand the attacks of the wild beasts.
"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 traveled more often, and some routes are traveled less often.
Obviously, this place is now one of the less visited routes.
"Yes, I have been here. There should be a forest of thunder trees ahead."
Chishao has an excellent memory and she remembers this place.
"Now I remember, there is indeed a forest of thunder trees."
After being reminded by Chishao, Jiang Xuan also remembered where this place was.
They had been here before in the spring and encountered a patch of thunder trees.
However, at that time, the Thunder Tree had just sprouted, and its magical powers were not fully revealed.
"Sister, I remember you said that there is a fruit on the Thunder Tree that explodes when it matures, and there is also a ground armor beast under the tree that steals prey, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Chishao answered affirmatively.
"Okay, then let's go over and see if we can catch a ground armor beast and bring it back as a sacrifice!"
Jiang Xuan left as soon as he said he would. Uncaria and Nanxing were also very excited because they had never seen such a magical plant.
As Chishao walked, he reminded them earnestly, "The thunder tree is very dangerous now. In the past, the hunting teams of the Deer Tribe had to go around it when they encountered it, and they dared not go under the tree to catch the ground armored beast. Don't get close to it easily later."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I won't be reckless."
After becoming the leader, Jiang Xuan's personality became more stable.
Because he controls the entire Teng tribe, if he makes a wrong decision, it is likely to kill everyone, so he must remain calm.
Chishao was also quite confident in Jiang Xuan, so he didn't say anything more.
"boom!"
As soon as they approached the thunder tree, they heard a loud bang and some fragments flew around at a very fast speed. The leaves along the way were smashed, which was very scary.
"Is this the explosion of the Thunder Fruit?"
Jiang Xuan looked at this scene in surprise.
The power of this fruit is even greater than Jiang Xuan imagined. No wonder it can kill wild beasts.
Chishao stared at the head-sized fruits vigilantly and said, "Yes, this is the explosion of the Thunder Fruit. If you get close to it carelessly, it can kill you."
Gou Teng pointed to the tree and said, "Chief, there is a gray rabbit that was blown to death under the tree."
At the explosion site, there was a large gray rabbit, which had been blown into a bloody mess.
When the Thunder Fruit explodes, some fruit pulp will also be scattered on the ground. This is the bait used by the Thunder Tree to attract animals.
This gray rabbit was probably attracted by the fruit flesh and ended up losing its life.
The gray rabbit is one of the large wild rabbits in the jungle. It is very large in size, and an adult gray rabbit can weigh thirty or forty kilograms.
One of the domestication targets of the Teng tribe is this gray-haired rabbit, because it is herbivorous and reproduces very quickly, making it suitable for breeding.
Jiang Xuan said: "Then let's see if the bloody smell of this gray-haired rabbit can lure out the ground armor beast underground."
Jiang Xuan wanted to see what the Earth Armor Beast looked like. If he had the chance, he would like to catch one and bring it back as a sacrifice.
The ground beast is very precious and is also an excellent sacrifice.
The four of them hid in a nearby big tree, and looked down at the holes on the ground to see if any ground beasts would come out.
Not long after, Jiang Xuan saw a head poking out from a hole under the Thunder Tree, looking sneaky.
This thing looks a bit like a pangolin, with thick scales all over its body and relatively small eyes.
But its head is much bigger than that of the pangolin, and its mouth is also big, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, making it look quite ferocious.
“Boom!”
"boom!"
The Thunder Tree seemed to sense the movement coming from the ground. Two Thunder Fruits as big as human heads on the tree fell off instantly, dropped to the ground, and exploded with a loud bang.
However, the Earth Armor Beast seemed to be very experienced. When the Thunder Fruit fell, it quickly retreated back into the earth hole, and the two Thunder Fruits could not reach it at all.
"This Earth Armor Beast is indeed a habitual offender. Even the Thunder Fruit can't blow it up."
Jiang Xuan was amazed at what he saw. The world is so big that there are so many wonders.
Chishao said: "I heard from the hunting team that a small number of ground armor beasts with slow reactions were also killed by the explosion. Perhaps because of this, those who can survive and steal prey are very smart."
After a while, the sound of digging was heard from underground. Obviously, the ground armor beast was digging a hole.
During this process, several Thunder Fruits fell down, but even if several holes were blown out on the ground, it could not do anything to the ground armor beasts underground.
This is the saying that there is always someone better.
After the ground armor beast obviously saw the location of the gray-haired rabbit that was killed by the explosion, it wanted to dig a hole underground, dig directly under the gray-haired rabbit, and steal the gray-haired rabbit's body directly.
This is also a trick they always use.
"How can we catch the Earth Armor Beast without getting hurt by the Thunder Fruit?"
Jiang Xuan fell into deep thought, trying to come up with a safe and effective solution.
He thought for a long time and finally set his sights on the Thunder Fruits.
"If I detonate the thunder fruits on the tree directly, then all the thunder fruits on the tree will explode directly!"
"In this way, when we go down the tree to catch the ground-armored beast, won't it be safe?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
"But how do I detonate the thunder fruit on the tree?" Jiang Xuan fell into thought again.
These thunder fruits should explode directly after being hit. This can be seen from the fact that they explode after falling to the ground.
Jiang Xuan glanced at the tools around him and finally set his sights on the bow and arrow.
"Yes, shoot with a bow and arrow!"
"However, if so many thunder fruits explode at the same time, the power should be terrible. We can't shoot them from the tree. We have to find a place to hide."
Jiang Xuan looked around and found several huge rocks.
"Go, get down from the tree, get behind the boulder, and hide after you finish shooting."
The four of them climbed down the tree one after another and walked behind the huge rocks.
At this time, Jiang Xuan's hard-trained archery skills came in handy.
He took the bow and arrow from his back, took a deep breath, then drew the bow and aimed at the thunder fruit on a tree.
The thunder fruits are relatively large and there are many of them. They are not far away, so it is relatively easy to hit them.
"call out!"
Jiang Xuan aimed at the largest Thunder Fruit and shot an arrow.
"Squat down."
After the arrow was shot, Jiang Xuan had no time to look at the result, and directly pulled everyone else 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 appeared.
“Boom boom boom…”
All the thunder fruits on the tree were affected, and a series of explosions occurred.
There was a continuous roar in the forest, which seemed like thunder, scaring the nearby birds and animals so much that they fled madly.
Even the ground 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 it weren't for the huge rock blocking them, they would have been in danger.
Chishao, Uncaria and Arisaema were so frightened that they covered their ears tightly.
When everything was over, the branches of the thunder trees were broken by the explosion, and there was not a single thunder fruit left on the trees.
Even the nearby trees were destroyed in large areas, the scene was terrifying.
