"What a pity, I didn't even get to say hello or ask if you've eaten." After watching the other party leave, Leo did not risk following him. He stood there for a while, then turned around with regret and returned the same way, ending the day's reconnaissance. It's like a tiger whose territory is invaded by a lone wolf. There is no need for any verbal communication. Just a cold gaze is enough to clearly express his will. As the master of this territory, the wild hunter who exuded the aura of a wild beast also told Leo what he meant with just one look. You can stop here. I won’t be so polite next time. Leo had no intention of angering the other party. Growing up as a half-savage, he had an intuition that was unmatched by ordinary people and could better sense the danger of the other party. The forests and plains of Qulangyuan are filled with alien races, large wild beasts, and even magical beasts. It is impossible for the wild tribes to survive there without sufficient military force. Every tribesman in the Wild Folk Tribe is a jungle hunter capable of both long-range and short-range attacks, and those who dare to roam and patrol alone are the best among them. Not to mention anything else, just the two-meter-long woodland yew bow on his back and the heavy arrows as thick as fingers are weapons that can kill brown bears.
The oak-covered shield that Leo stole from Urian was an inch thick, and its craftsmanship and defense capabilities met the standards of the Empire's regular infantry equipment, but it could not withstand the close-range shooting of such a powerful bow and heavy arrows. In the next few days, in addition to training the militia, Leo spent the rest of his time patrolling and scouting near the upstream river, familiarizing himself with the terrain and guarding against foreigners or wild beasts invading the camp, but he would never cross the boulders where the wild hunters had appeared, so as not to be hit by an arrow for no reason. As the scope of the investigation continued to expand, Leo's footsteps gradually went deeper into the forest on the other side of the river. The environment here is more complicated than that near the River Bay Territory. Not only are there more and more wild animals, but also some footprints that Leo has never seen before have appeared. "This should be a wild boar, right? The wild boar has legs? The wild man is chasing the wild boar?" Squatting on the ground, looking at the deep footprints on the soft humus in the woods, Leo muttered to himself and wrote them down. It doesn’t matter if he has never seen it. We have the knowledgeable Uliyan at home. He can just go back and draw it and ask them one by one. "What is this?" Following the footprints cautiously, Leo was stunned in front of a huge claw mark. What caught his eyes was a huge claw print. It looked like a human palm, but it had sharp claws that were a full foot long in total, looking extremely terrifying. Leo wisely stopped and prepared to return to the camp to inform Urian. Don't be fooled by his strong physique and well-trained body, and although he can beat his militiamen as easily as beating his sons, in fact, in the wild, without preparation, they may not be able to defeat an adult brown bear. Leo cannot afford to provoke this unknown creature, whose footprints are far more terrifying than those of a snow bear. He can only go back and call for help, and then find a way to drive it away. As soon as he turned around, Leo felt the ground shaking slightly and the sound of trees shaking in the woods in the distance. Leo climbed up a big tree without thinking, and climbed more than ten meters before looking down. As the ground shook more and more violently, even the pine trees that were as thick as two people hugged began to shake, and a huge creature jumped out of the woods. It was a giant brown-yellow bear that was over three meters long, and looked familiar and strange. It stumbled past the tree, and just its thick buttocks brushed against the tree where Leo was, causing the whole tree to shake violently, almost throwing Leo off the tree. Behind it, four wild boars with one-horned wild boars on their heads that looked like rhinoceros horns were following closely, chasing them hard with grunts. "Go back and fight it! Four wild boars put together are not as heavy as you!" Leo was speechless as he watched them running past him. Although the four one-horned wild boars that looked like little rhinos were much larger than the wild boars he had imagined, they still looked like a group of piglets following a sow's butt in front of this giant bear that was as big as a van.
Leo couldn't understand what the giant bear was afraid of. After staying on the tree for a minute and waiting for the beasts to run away, Leo saw four burly humanoid creatures chasing after him, and hurriedly followed the footprints left by the giant bear. These humanoid creatures are about meters tall, with a very sturdy build and a slightly hunched back. The skin exposed outside the simple fur armor is covered with short, thick, curly black hair. On the top of their heads and backs, there is a tuft of spiky mane. They held bone spears or stone hammers in their hands and carried simple crossbows on their backs. When one of them passed under the tree, it looked up and sniffed around vigilantly, allowing Leo in the tree to see its face clearly. Boar man! A fat man weighing more than 200 pounds, dark-skinned, hairy, with short limbs and a wild boar's head. Leo held his breath and watched the boarmen go away quietly. This was the second alien race Leo had seen after the kobolds. However, they are much more dangerous than the kobolds. No matter whether they are heavy primitive weapons, simple crossbows, or even the ferocious fangs on the pig's mouth, they are all more terrifying than the kobold's spears and stones, and can easily kill him. After waiting for a few more minutes and making sure that the danger was gone, Leo prepared to climb down the tree. But just as one of his feet touched the ground, there was another vibration from the distant forest. The giant bear and the unicorn boar circled around and came back. "I give up. You guys can fight your own people, but can you please stay away?" Leo nimbly jumped up the tree again and sat on a branch, watching the giant bear running around below, circling around the forest with its pursuers. Estimating the distance to another pine tree in front, Leo sprinted two steps on the branches of the pine tree, jumped lightly, and jumped onto another tree. Repeating this operation, Leo moved forward on the branch like Tarzan. After jumping over ten trees in a row, the trees became sparse and Leo's vision became wider. A few dozen meters ahead, the panicked giant bear was forced under a small slope. The slope was not steep and was only seven or eight meters high, but the soft ground could not bear the giant bear's terrifying weight. It climbed up three times in a row and slid down each time. The giant bear's limbs dug as fast as an excavator, but its body stayed where it was, and the mud it dug out almost buried it. Watching the four one-horned wild boars and their owner approaching, the giant bear man stood up, leaned his back against the slope, waved his front paws wildly a few times, and then opened his mouth and let out a scream. "Don't come over here!" Listening to this shrill voice with a childish tone, Leo finally knew why he felt that this giant bear looked familiar and weird! Because this is not a giant bear at all, it's a groundhog! It's just that its body is too large and fat, so it looks almost the same as a giant bear. But when it stands up, opens its claws, and shows its two huge incisors, the characteristics of a groundhog are undoubtedly revealed. It's the screaming groundhog! And can speak human language! After traveling to this world, Leo finally felt that the atmosphere was magical.
