Chapter 43 Dragnet Search
This is not a very big earthen ridge, but despite the severe drought this year, there are many kinds of wild animals on it.
Li Dingguo led his team of sixteen people and moved quietly. From time to time, they could see common animals such as hares, rats, snakes, etc.
There is no need to explain the reason: it is mainly because in this magical world, there are very few people in the mountains and wilderness.
Under normal circumstances, humans dare not enter wild mountains, deep forests, rivers, lakes, seas, or wilderness.
Without humans, the natural enemy of all wild animals, big and small, and without humans' insatiable harm to the natural environment, vast areas that still retain their original topography and landforms are simply a paradise for all wild animals and plants to reproduce rampantly!
Especially animals like wild boars, hares, mice, etc., which have strong adaptability and abnormally strong reproductive capacity.
Take wild boars as an example. They are omnivorous animals with extremely strong adaptability. They eat almost everything. They have thick skin and meat and strong disease resistance. Among ordinary wild beasts, they have almost no natural enemies.
As long as humans do not cause continuous destructive damage to the natural environment and there is enough living space, their reproduction rate will be beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The same is true for wild rabbits. Most of the green grass and tender leaves in nature can meet their survival needs. With their super strong reproductive ability, even if there are many natural enemies in the wild, they cannot stop their population from expanding rapidly.
Most carnivores and monsters only need enough rabbits to hunt as a food source to allow their respective populations to survive and reproduce, not to mention the large number of large and small animals with extremely strong reproductive capacity.
Therefore, despite the frequent natural disasters and man-made disasters nowadays, they have not caused much impact on the various animal populations living in these vast areas that ordinary humans dare not set foot in.
"Snapped!"
Walking on a hill covered with weeds and bushes, Li Dingguo suddenly swept the spear in his hand, and then stabbed it in the air. At the moment he swept away a three-foot-long poisonous snake hidden in the grass, he stabbed it to death in mid-air!
This was the ninth poisonous snake he had killed along the way.
It is easy to imagine how many snakes, insects, rats and ants live in these pristine mountains.
His mental power is now extremely strong, equivalent to the sum of ten ordinary adult men, and his perception and observation abilities are extremely sharp.
Therefore, he can now easily sense the dangers around his body.
This ability, which can only be acquired after becoming a warrior, is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Everyone, be careful!"
After Li Dingguo stabbed the venomous snake to death, he turned around and warned the fifteen young men in his team, "In this world, dangers are almost everywhere in the wild."
"If we are careless, it is very likely to cause unnecessary casualties!"
He has warned everyone this many times.
There was no way. These young warriors had never experienced this before, so he had to remind them more often to avoid tragedies that no one wanted to see.
Seeing that everyone nodded solemnly, indicating that they remembered, he continued, "This mountain is not very big, and because of the drought, the weeds and trees are not very lush. As long as the herd of iron-toothed pigs are still in this mountain, it won't take too long to find them."
"As for the wild animals that can be seen everywhere here, don't bother with them to avoid wasting time. If you can avoid them, avoid them."
"Pig monsters are very large, so they are obvious targets. It won't be difficult to find them."
"However, once their whereabouts are discovered, everyone must immediately try to hide their bodies and breath as much as possible, and not make any noise, so as not to alarm the other party!"
Although he had never fought against monsters before, Li Dingguo did not dare to take it lightly.
Although he can crush warriors of the same level in terms of various attributes and skill proficiency, he is only at the peak of the late first level of martial arts. The most important thing is: not only has he never experienced a life-and-death battle, but the warrior team around him has also never experienced it.
On the battlefield, there is a complete difference between new recruits who have never killed the enemy with their own hands and veterans who have killed countless people.
"Okay! Boss!"
"Boss, don't worry."...
Hearing Li Dingguo's reminder and warning, the fifteen warrior team members behind him nodded hurriedly in agreement.
To be honest, if Li Dingguo had not taken the lead, listening carefully and keeping an eye on all directions, helping everyone to resolve dangers time and time again, perhaps someone in this team would have become a wounded soldier due to poisoning or injury.
And what Li Dingguo said was right. The pig-like monsters were huge in size and there were quite a few of them. It was not difficult to find their whereabouts in this not very big mountain.
Maybe, I will meet him in the next moment.
Therefore, it is always a good idea to be vigilant and prepared for battle.
These young men immediately took action, with Li Dingguo as the spearhead, Tang Guangqiang and Cao Yongxiang, two talented warriors, guarding the two wings, and the rest of the young men lined up in three columns and followed closely behind.
This formation is one of the basic marching formations.
Although it is not a formal military formation, it is much better than a chaotic and disorderly one.
As for the training of military formations, these young warriors have just begun and have not even gotten started.
The reason is self-explanatory. The time I have been a warrior is too short. In addition, in the past month, I have to learn various warrior combat skills and cultural knowledge, and at the same time I have to practice hard. There is not enough time.
If they want to truly form a regular army formation to fight and kill the enemy, these young soldiers will need to train for at least a month before they can barely do it.
As for the other three warrior teams consisting of Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, and Zhang Huier, they were not far away, moving forward in parallel with Li Dingguo's team, conducting a dragnet search while supporting each other.
Unlike Li Dingguo and his group, the other three nearby teams of young warriors had no experience in surviving in the wild mountains and wilderness, and were careless for a moment, so they all suffered several rounds of attacks from venomous snakes and insects.
Fortunately, everyone was a warrior and reacted quickly when attacked, so no casualties were caused.
Of course, this is mainly because the attackers were not monsters or demons, but ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants.
If it was some demons and monsters that attacked just now, even if they were of the lowest rank, it is very likely that they would have caused unnecessary casualties among the young people.
This was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the heads of these young warriors, causing them to wake up completely and raise their vigilance to the highest level.
Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier, who were somewhat annoyed, saw Li Dingguo's team from afar at this time. They began to change the battle march formation and hurriedly ordered the young men in their team to do the same.
Later, the four teams moved forward in unison, covering an area of more than ten feet in radius.
After making full preparations, they once again began a dragnet search.
This mountain is not very big to begin with. It is estimated that it will not be long before we encounter the group of iron-toothed pigs. A bloody battle is foreseeable...
