347: C347 Hunting

C347 Hunting

Unknowingly, over ten days had passed, but Lin Long's research still had not progressed at all, and his mastery of the rune apparatus had not increased by much either.

This morning, Huo Yi came over just as he was thinking about whether he should change the method he had to use to hunt for the Huo Family and the Liu Family. Although they were not strong enough, as a member of the Huo Family, they had to go out with them.

Lin Long nodded in agreement before following Situ Feng out.

After staying here for so many days, Lin Long knew that the main source of food for the people in the tribe were the powerful fierce beasts outside.

Therefore, the people of the tribe would often go out to hunt, usually with the tribe as their unit. If necessary, or if they found a place with a large amount of crystals, and there were powerful beasts guarding the place, the brave warriors of the tribe would usually go out.

It was rare to see Huo Yi's son going out alone.

Just as Lin Long was wondering how they could avoid such a large amount of fierce beasts outside, a young man from the Huo Family suddenly walked out of the group. He blew a few strange whistles towards the pile of boulders in front of him, and then, a squirrel-like creature suddenly came out from beneath a boulder.

This creature's eyes were sharp, it was not as ruthless as the other beasts that Lin Long had seen.

After arriving in front of the youth, it immediately used its hind legs to fight, eagerly looking at him.

The young man took out a potato that had been grown by a member of the tribe and placed it on his palm. The creature picked it up and started to eat it.

Without waiting for Lin Long to ask, Huo Yi, who was at the side, laughed, "This is a Stone Forest Rat, the only creature that is different from the other beasts here. When the other beasts see us, they will want to eat us, but they are different, they are the only creatures that can live in peace with us."

"Is that so?" Lin Long nodded.

"They are not very strong. It seems that because of this, their numbers are extremely limited. It seems like there are only three of them in this place." Huo Yi sighed.

"Is there something special about them?" Seeing Huo Yi like this, Lin Long could not help but ask.

"What's special about them is that they can sense the presence of a large group of Fierce Beasts from very far away. With them, we won't be surrounded and attacked by those Fierce Beasts." Huo Yi explained.

After hearing what Huo Yi said, Lin Long understood. Presumably, this Stone Forest Mouse had an important role to play in this place.

"Uncle Yi, if that's the case, why didn't you bring him back to be raised?" Situ Feng said.

"We want to as well, but these Stone Forest Mice have no way of surviving within the tribe. If we bring them along, they'll be in great trouble after a few days. They'll only be able to recover their spirit after returning to this place." Huo Yi said.

Subsequently, the Stone Forest Mouse that had eaten its fill led the way in front, and they followed behind the Stone Forest Mouse as they slowly walked forward.

Unknowingly, the group had walked for two hours and during this period of time, they had encountered many fierce beasts, some of which were in the early stages of martial arts domination. However, because there weren't many of them, they were easily dealt with.

These beasts that they had dealt with had all been chopped into pieces, and the edible parts had all been put into the bags that they had brought along with them.

After walking a little further, they suddenly saw seven to eight fierce beasts similar to Spirit Monkeys in front of them. The strange thing was, they did not attack Lin Long and the others, but instead, they walked straight towards a pile of boulders.

Before Lin Long could ask what was going on, the surrounding people started shouting excitedly.

"Normally, when these Fierce Beasts see us, they would attack, but right now, they have turned a blind eye. This means that there is something even more important than us." Huo Yi laughed.

"What's more important?" Lin Long could not help but ask.

"Of course there are crystals, so there's a high chance that there are crystals around the area where these monkeys used to live." Huo Yi said.

The group of people immediately followed behind these vicious beasts.

After arriving at the pile of boulders, the vicious beasts went into the large holes one by one. Soon, they disappeared without a trace.

Two young men of the Huo Family immediately followed along, together with the Stone Forest Mouse.

After the two of them went down, they quickly came up. They said that there were three tunnels and that they couldn't find the whereabouts of those vicious beasts for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yi made everyone go down, and when they arrived at the bottom, Lin Long realized that the tunnel below was actually very wide, allowing three to four people to go through it at the same time. However, looking at the structure of the cave wall, these holes were obviously dug by some kind of ferocious beast.1

Carefully looking through a few passages, Huo Yi realized that each passage had traces of ferocious beasts on it. Hence, Huo Yi finally made the decision to split the people into three groups to enter these passages.

Lin Long and Situ Feng were in the same group as Huo Yi, and there were also three Huo Family youths.

After walking for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they heard the roars and fighting sounds of fierce beasts coming from in front of them. The few of them immediately slowed down their footsteps, approached and found a large cave in front of them, three fierce beasts similar to spirit monkeys were entangled together with a strange beast that was completely covered in a hard shell.

In the corner of the cave, there was a small pile of those green crystals.

Seeing these crystals, the eyes of the few of them lit up. Huo Yi signalled to them not to rush.

That vicious beast with the hard shell on its back was clearly stronger than its opponent. However, because of the difference in numbers, it could only fight him to a draw.

Although it was difficult to determine the victor of these four berserk beasts, at this rate, they would inevitably be the ones to profit.

After a while, when the four fierce beasts were almost done fighting, Huo Yi ordered them to take action. After the few of them appeared, they easily killed the few exhausted fierce beasts.

After that, Huo Yi walked over to the corner and discovered that there were actually more than twenty of them.

This was a huge harvest, so Huo Yi immediately revealed a smile on his face.

Just then, a loud * Bang bang * sound came from the cave wall, and before anyone could understand, the cave wall had already been broken by a bunch of fierce beasts with hard shells. There were at least 10 of them, and they immediately surrounded Huo Yi, Situ Feng and the other two.

Due to the powerful strength of the beast, Huo Yi and the rest were all forced to a corner.

If not for the fact that Lin Long and the other person were facing towards the outside, they would have been trapped inside.

This situation caused their expressions to greatly change.

"Quick, Huo Fan, Lin Long, quickly go out and call for reinforcements!" Huo Yi shouted loudly.

After exchanging a glance with that person, the two of them immediately sprinted forward.

And behind them, there were also two vicious beasts chasing after them.
