The wind blew through the rolling gray hills in front of them, and the meadows on the hills stirred up green waves in the wind, and everything seemed quiet and harmonious.
In the afternoon, with the sun shining overhead, there were several adult moorland horned deer wandering under a low sea buckthorn on the edge of the meadow, keeping their heads down, enjoying the luscious berries of the sea buckthorn trees, the best time of the year for all the animals living in the ice and snow moor.
The wind that blew across the meadow rustled the weeds that were more than a man tall, and at the same time, the wind brought with it some other sounds and breaths in the meadow.
As if sensing something, several of the wasteland horned deer that were eating suddenly stopped moving, raised their necks, looked around, and then galloped in panic at the same time.
Several Wasteland Horned Deer just started to run, and after the swishing sound, several javelins were immediately inserted around the ground where they were just located, and one of the Wasteland Horned Deer was stabbed in the neck by a javelin on the spot, and fell to the ground with a scream.
Seven or eight boys dressed in animal skins burst out of the meadow like leopards and began to chase the two wasteland horned deer that were running fast.
"This one can't run, everyone go chase the ones in front" The boy who rushed to the front shouted, directing the actions of the other teenagers, listening to the words of this teenager, all the teenagers who rushed out quickly swept over the place where the wasteland horned deer were just now, and pulled out the javelin inserted in the ground, and chased after the few escaped wasteland horned deer.
These seven or eight teenagers are only thirteen or fourteen years old, but their bodies have developed quite burly, especially when running, in a short distance, the explosiveness and speed of the teenagers are very amazing, and the few wasteland horned deer who have just started to run can't completely distance themselves from the teenagers for a while.
The boys threw the javelins they were carrying while running, and the javelins thrown by the teenagers chased the figures of the wasteland horned deer and kept sticking them into the ground or in the grass, which made the few escaped wasteland horned deer even faster, and after seven or eight teenagers threw all the javelins on their bodies, another wasteland horned deer that ran at the end was stabbed by the javelin and fell to the ground injured.
The boys ignored the fallen prey, and continued to pursue the remaining Wasteland Horned Deer.
The teenagers chased the wasteland horned deer out of the sea buckthorn forest, and the terrain in front of them suddenly became flat and open, seeing that the speed of the wasteland horned deer was getting faster and faster, and gradually they were about to get rid of the teenagers chasing behind them completely.
In addition to the javelin, another weapon that the teenagers have in their hands is the tripstone.
"Prepare for the tripping stones" The boy who ran at the front shouted, and all the pursuing teenagers immediately took out the tripping stones they were carrying, and waved them quickly as they ran.
"Put" As the first teenager threw the tripstone in his hand, all the teenagers also threw their own tripstones.
The tripstone tied to the rope was accelerated by the huge centrifugal force, and when it left the grasp of the boys' hands, it let out a strange whining sound in the air, and flew towards the horned deer at a much faster speed than the teenagers.
Most of the stumbling stones missed, but one of them wrapped around the leg of a wasteland horned deer in the fly, knocking it to the ground.
The boys shouted for joy and caught up, but before the wasteland horned deer that had been struck by the tripstone struggled to get up, several teenagers had already rushed up to the ground, and pressed it to the ground again, and tied the limbs of the horned deer with the rope tied to the tripstone, and could no longer move.
"Ha, this is a female wasteland horned deer, you can take it back to the village and raise it," a teenager exclaimed with joy, "Now Eda will have deer milk to drink" "Joey, you are really a good brother, why don't you tell your family, let her marry me when Eda grows up, I will wait for her for another ten years, although Eda is only six years old now, but the people in the village say that she must be a big beauty when she grows up" A teenager quipped.
"Roll" The boy called Joey waved his fist, "My family's Edda will marry at least one Storm Bear Warrior in the future, this is what my father said, wait until when you can become a Storm Bear Warrior" The boy named Joey said, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at the young man who took the lead among all the teenagers, that young man was called Ivan, and he was the most likely teenager in the entire village to become a Violent Bear Warrior in the future, and he was also the leader of their group.
Could it be that my father and mother want to marry Eda to Ivan and the boy named Joey had a strange thought in his heart, no, even if Ivan and I are friends, I can't easily take Eda away from him, I have to work hard to become a Violent Bear Warrior, and then I can protect Edda well The boy who was the elder brother thought simply in his heart, thinking that Edda might be taken away by a man in the future, and the boy's heart was like feeling that his most beloved thing was going to be taken away, and in a short period of time, he was once again determined to become a powerful Bear Warrior.
"Pack up our things, let's hurry up and get out of here, it's already a little far from the village" The young man named Ivan put away his javelin and looked around vigilantly, "We have to catch up with a long way to go back to the village, we must go back before dark, if we encounter an iron-toothed hyena, it will be trouble" Because this harvest was good, everyone was very happy, and after listening to Ivan's words, everyone sped up their movements, and the boy named Joey directly resisted the tied wasteland horned deer on his body, and the more than 50 kilograms of horned deer resisted on a teenager's body, and it didn't seem to be difficult.
Everyone returned the same way, and after quickly killing the two injured and incapacitated wasteland horned deer, the boys happily prepared to return to the village.
It's still more than 30 kilometers away from the village, and if you don't lose time, you should be able to get back to the village before the sun sets.
Because the color of the soil and stones on the surface here is gray, so from a distance, except for those places covered by vegetation, the color of the entire hill is gray, no one knows why this strange color is presented here, but there is a theory that the soil and the stones on the surface of the ground were originally underground, it seems to be hundreds of millions of years old, but after the cataclysm, because of the violent geological action was ploughed up from the ground.
And because of this, the soil here seems to contain some strange, rare elements and nutrients in other places, so there will be some special or higher value plants growing here, although not all plants are suitable for growing here, but the plants that can grow here will grow very well, and there will even be some mutated plant varieties that can only be seen in this place.
Even in winter, the surface temperature here is relatively higher than in other places, and many plants that can no longer survive in other places can still grow here, which is the magic of this place.
There is more than one place like this in the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland, but because it is relatively close to the city of Eskil, the straight-line distance is only more than 300 kilometers, so this has become the most famous large medicinal herb store in the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland.
For example, the sea buckthorn forest that the teenagers saw when they hunted the wasteland horned deer just now, the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits of ordinary sea buckthorn have very high medicinal and edible value, and the sea buckthorn in the gray hills is a variant of sea buckthorn that lives on this land, so the value is higher.
Especially the sea buckthorn oil here, the sea buckthorn oil produced in the ice and snow wasteland is the best and most precious sea buckthorn oil in the entire Weiyi subcontinent, the sea buckthorn oil here is one of the most important export materials of Eskir City, and the sea buckthorn oil in the ice and snow wasteland is a must-have for almost every pill pharmacist on the continent in the pill pharmacy or raw material warehouse.
The teenagers carried today's harvest through the gray hills quickly, and it was only an hour's work that they walked seven or eight kilometers, and the harvested prey was carried by several people in turn, while the teenagers who did not carry the prey took the weapons in their hands and walked vigilantly at the front and back of the team.
The long-term cooperation has allowed the teenagers to cultivate a tacit understanding and know when it is time to change shifts, among all the teenagers, only Joey, who has just made up his mind to become a violent bear warrior, has made a special persistence today, and took returning to the village with the prey on his back as an opportunity to exercise himself.
As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of, the teenagers have just been walking for more than an hour, and the thing that worries them the most has happened: they were targeted by a group of iron-toothed hyenas.
The iron-toothed hyena is very sensitive to the breath of dead animals, and has the nickname of the Wasteland Shark, an iron-toothed hyena, which can smell the blood of other animals from a distance of one or two kilometers, so that it can find its prey along that smell.
There were only five or six iron-toothed hyenas that began to appear behind this group of teenagers, and after they appeared, they were unhurriedly embellished with the teenagers carrying their prey, and the number of teenagers and the weapons in their hands did not let them get too close, but followed them unhurriedly.
These iron-toothed hyenas look a bit like dogs, but their heads are shorter than those of dogs, and they look rounder, their skulls are thicker, their front bodies are stronger than their back bodies, their body hair is rough and hard, and their gray bodies have dark and brown spots, which are especially easy to hide under the background of this hill, and it is difficult to spot them if you don't get close.
Of course, whoever wants to treat them as dogs, they will definitely be eaten so that there will be no bones left, there really will be no bones, this is not a joke, everyone in the ice and snow wasteland knows that the strong and sharp jaw teeth of the irontooth hyena are best at biting hard bones, and then allowing it to lick the bone marrow inside the bones.
Bone marrow is a favorite of iron-toothed hyenas.
The iron-toothed hyenas that appeared behind the teenagers were all more than 16 meters long, and each of them exuded a cunning and vicious aura.
After being followed by the iron-toothed hyenas for a few minutes, seeing that they could not get rid of the iron-toothed hyenas and could not kill them, Ivan of the group of teenagers decisively gave an order.
"Drop a Wasteland Horned Deer" Although there was some reluctance, a wasteland horned deer that was killed by the teenagers was quickly thrown behind the teenagers, and dropping a wasteland horned deer could increase the speed of the teenagers' movements, free up one or two people, and allow the iron-toothed hyenas behind them to temporarily follow their footsteps.
It's best to get rid of these iron-toothed hyenas like this.
When it comes to leaving the Wasteland Horned Deer, this is the truest thought in every teenager's heart, and no one knows better than them the horror of these iron-toothed hyenas.
After leaving the Wasteland Horned Deer, the boys ran, and Joey's prey that was still alive was picked up by another man.
It was only a short run after the teenagers had gone for a short distance that they heard a terrible sound behind them of teeth and bones cracking.
The teenagers did not get rid of the pursuit of the iron-toothed hyenas, only after the iron-toothed hyenas disappeared for less than five minutes, behind the teenagers, more iron-toothed hyenas began to appear, this time the iron-toothed hyenas appeared, not five, but a large group, at least twenty or thirty.

When they saw the twenty or thirty iron-toothed hyenas, the faces of the teenagers changed suddenly, they knew that this time, it was really bad, the iron-toothed hyenas were used to group hunting, and the iron-toothed hyenas they encountered this time were not three or five, but a herd with twenty or thirty iron-toothed hyenas.
This time, without even Ivan saying anything, all the teenagers threw away the two wasteland horned deer that they were still holding without thinking about it, and then began to run with all their might, even Joey didn't say anything, because life is more important than anything else.
There are no more milk-producing Wasteland Horned Deer to catch, and once a person is dead, there is nothing.
The iron-toothed hyenas that appeared behind them now were beyond the limits of what they could handle.
The teenagers didn't expect to really encounter the beast tide this time, and so many iron-toothed hyenas appeared so close to the village at one time, this is something that has never happened before, this is not far from their village, it is the traditional hunting range in their village, in the past, even when the beast tide broke out, this area also had a strong deterrent effect on those beasts, but this time, so many iron-toothed hyenas appeared here at one time, threatening not them, but the safety of their entire village.
The teenagers began to run in the direction of their village with all their might, panting one by one, but before the teenagers could run two kilometers away, the iron-toothed hyenas behind them reappeared, looking at them with fierce eyes People can never outrun the iron-toothed hounds in the wild, and if they continue to run, those iron-toothed hounds will only rush up when they are exhausted and easily suck their bone marrow to the point that there will not be a drop left.
The formation of the iron-toothed hounds following the teenagers began to spread out, and there was already a tendency to outflank them.
Seeing a mountain wall in front of him, Ivan immediately shouted, "Where to form a formation" A few minutes later, the teenagers stood tightly together with their backs against a mountain wall, one by one clutching their weapons tightly, and in front of them, a large group of iron-toothed hyenas slowly surrounded them.
Looking at those hyenas, the faces of the teenagers turned pale one by one, knowing that this time it was more auspicious, but they didn't know how many iron-toothed hyenas they could catch this time to put themselves at the bottom.
"Joey, think about it, I just said seriously," the teenager who had joked with Joey more than an hour ago did not forget to add at this juncture.
"Damn, let's wait until you survive," Joey glared at the bastard.
"You two shut up," Ivan shouted.
Just as the group of iron-toothed hyenas got closer and closer, and the palms of the teenagers holding the javelins were already soaked with sweat, everyone suddenly heard a voice with obvious surprise.
"Wow, so many babies, you're all mine" The voice, with its deep surprise, sounded from afar, like a tomb robber knocking on a coffin and seeing a pile of treasure, or a long-time traveler in the desert seeing an oasis full of life.
Hearing this voice, Ivan and Joey were stunned for a moment, such a voice appeared on such an occasion, it was indeed shocking, and what was even more incomprehensible was the meaning of the words, what treasures are there here, are these iron-toothed hyenas or something else Just when the teenagers thought they were hallucinating, a sound sounded, it was like a beep, and it was a little bit like a subtle friction sound of a gear mechanism, which was very pleasant to the ear As soon as this voice sounded, one of the hyenas in the group of iron-toothed hyenas who surrounded several teenagers burst out with a bright blood flower on his body without even barking, and a large hole appeared in his entire body, which was instantly killed by a metal crossbow arrow.
The power of the metal crossbow arrow was so great that after killing the iron-toothed hyena, the crossbow bolt was completely submerged into the ground.
Such a power directly frightened several teenagers.
From this moment on, in front of several teenagers, the strange buzzing began to sound intensively and very quickly, on average about three or four times a second, and every time that sound sounded, one of the iron-toothed hyenas surrounding several teenagers was about to burst a snowflake, and then fell down in a blur of flesh and blood.
Everything that happened just now was so fast that not to mention a few teenagers, even those iron-toothed hyenas didn't react, and by the time those iron-toothed hyenas reacted, seventeen or eighteen iron-toothed hyenas had already been killed In the eyes of several teenagers, a guy rushed down the hillside in the distance, that person was very fast, and he was holding a huge crossbow in his hand, several teenagers had never seen such a big and strange crossbow, and the strange beep sound came from the thing that the man was holding, The man rushed over quickly, while holding that thing to shoot at those iron-toothed hyenas, the arrow was not missing, and the head was accurate, which directly made people feel cold, and in the blink of an eye, several iron-toothed hyenas were killed, and the iron-toothed hyenas who were still eyeing a few teenagers just now screamed, and turned around and fled one by one, and the person chased out of those iron-toothed hyenas without even saying hello to them In the blink of an eye, several more fleeing iron-toothed hyenas burst into blood.
"Baby, don't run," the man cried The teenagers looked at each other, who the hell was this strange guy:
