Chapter 426: Killing a bear with bare hands
“Prioritizing the search for victims actually has another purpose.” Anhir continued.
“Another purpose?”
“The airship was shot down by Lan Long. Some of the information that the survivors paid attention to was not given time to feed back to the guild. Is it reasonable?
While they were hiding around, it was very possible that they made some additional discoveries, right?
All in all, as long as the victims are found, there is a high probability that more information will be obtained, which is much more efficient than running around like headless flies in Lanlong's lair.
In the final analysis, the most important issue is ‘bringing the news back’. As Hayata just said, if the information is discovered but the person dies, what is the difference between that and not discovering it? "
Gordon picked up a branch, broke it off and threw it into the bonfire, "Then let's do this. After setting off tomorrow, we will go straight to the south area of the main peak of Lingfeng and use the cover of the mountain to search for the victims.
If the victim is dead and no more useful information can be obtained, we will look for a suitable observation point to hide, observe for a long time and from a long distance, and we should be able to collect some intelligence. "
Alva was short and walked silently but quickly.
Suddenly, he heard some noise, so he immediately lay down and remained motionless.
Different from the "bush disguise" that he wore a few days ago, which was inconvenient for movement and a little silly, under the guidance of the professor, the practicality of his current disguise has been improved by several levels.
It was a khaki cloak, modified from the canvas Alva brought back from the wreckage of the airship.
It was dyed with mud and plant juices and wrapped around the body, looking like a rock covered with moss.
Similar stones are common around here, and as long as they remain motionless, they don't look out of place.
The movement disappeared, it was probably just some kind of small animal passing by.
Alva got up and continued moving forward. His goal for this trip was the berries in the forest.
There is still some food left in the wreckage of the airship, but the professor said that emergency food is crucial in the wilderness, so he must find other alternative food.
In fact, he hopes to find some medicinal herbs more than food.
This magical plant is the main raw material for making recovery medicine. Eating it directly can also have a good healing effect. If you can find more of it, maybe the professor's injury can be slowly healed.
Of course he knows what medicinal herbs look like, but the Lingfeng Mountains is a strange place. It is obviously rich in natural resources, but not even a single medicinal herb can be found.
I don’t know if it’s bad luck or some other reason.
Alva thought sadly in his heart.
Maybe it’s because of the abundant rain? There were a lot of berries in the forest, and Alva also collected a lot of mushrooms and pine cones, all of which were confirmed to be edible.
He put all these into the book bag beside him.
Just as he was about to return, a buzzing sound came into his ears.
"bee?"
Alva looked around and soon found a huge beehive on the branch of a big tree.
"Honey."
Alva licked his lips.
He didn’t want to cause trouble, but honey rich in nutrients was the best nutrition and might make the professor feel more energetic.
By the way, how to get honey? He hasn't tried it? If you start directly, you will be bitten to death by bees. What about smoke? But will the smoke column attract Lan Long here?
While Alva was hesitating, deep in the forest, a bloated figure staggered over.
He trembled all over and his limbs became stiff.
Green Bear Beast.
what to do.
Alva forced himself to calm down. Green Bear had poor eyesight but a keen sense of smell. It probably hadn't noticed him yet at this distance. It would be easy to smell him if he hid. Now was the best chance to evacuate!
He began to back away slowly.
With a crisp sound, half a dry pine cone was trampled to pieces.
Alva and Green Bearmon paused at the same time.
It’s over.
Alva's face turned pale. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but suddenly he remembered that the green bear beast could run in the forest much faster than humans.
You can't escape by running, and you can't show cowardice. Green Bear is not a high-level predator, and there are even records of ordinary people scaring it away.
He suppressed his fear and tried to open his hands to make himself appear larger.
Then he yelled at the green bear beast that was rushing towards him.
“Ahhhh—!”
“Ouch!”
Green Bearmon felt offended and rushed faster.
At this time, Alva had no choice but to turn around and run wildly. He couldn't help shouting as if he was giving up on himself, "Didn't I say that I could be scared away? Why weren't I scared at all?"
He kept turning left and right between the big trees, trying to distance himself in this way.
It's a pity that the effect is not good. With the size of the green bear beast, it is not easily disturbed by the trees, and the distance between the two is constantly shortening.
Just when he was about to be overtaken by the green bear beast, a figure rushed over and blocked the giant green bear.
Perhaps because the distance was too close and inconvenient, or perhaps because he felt it was unnecessary, the visitor did not draw his weapon, but directly hit the iron mountain support, hitting the green bear beast in the face with his shoulder.
The protruding sharp teeth on the shoulder armor smashed into the green bear beast's flesh and blood, and it howled miserably and stopped.
However, the visitor did not intend to let it go so easily.
He stretched out his arms and clamped the Green Bear beast's neck, then clenched his fists and punched the Green Bear beast's head and face several times until the Green Bear beast's howl turned into a whimper, and then he relaxed. Open your hand.
Green Bear Beast ran away quickly with its short tail between its legs.
Alva stared at this scene blankly, his mind a little confused.
This man just beat the Green Bear Beast away with his fist?
“Huh—, it’s a bit cool.”
The man took off his helmet with his blood-stained gauntlets, revealing a face that was quite familiar to Alva.
“Brother Gordon?”
"It's you, Alva." Gordon didn't say anything like "what a coincidence".
Rather, he had some guesses about the identity of the airship victims from the beginning - as witnesses of the Lan Long incident that year, the professor and Alva were the most suitable candidates to detect the Lan Long.
Hayata, Ansir Pork Chop and the others also ran over.
"Are you okay, meow? Are you injured, meow?" Xianglan ran to Alva's side and patted him.
“I’m fine.”
Alva, who once again narrowly escaped death, was still trembling when he spoke. His thoughts were a little knotted, and he stammered a question that was somewhat inappropriate, "So, why... with fists?"
“Uh,” Gordon gestured with his arms, trying to explain, “It’s just, do you understand the distance? At that distance, it’s not very convenient to pull out a big sword.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, meow.”
Pork Chop exposed Gordon's lies mercilessly, "You can understand that he has some problems with his brain recently and needs to get used to it for a while."
"Senior Gordon, you are so messy." Hayata couldn't help complaining.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." Gordon felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject, "This is Lanlong's lair, and it can't be said to be safe.
Alva, is there a suitable hiding place? We need to hide first and then discuss what to do next. "
“Yes! The professor and I found a good place, come with me!”
