Chapter 217 Jungle ([-])

Lin Huo sighed helplessly, then woke up the resting soldiers and continued on their way.

It got dark very quickly in the forest, and it took less than four or five hours from noon to night.

The soldiers who were exhausted all day leaned against each other and fell asleep around the fire.

Ever since they lost their way, the group of people in the half-day world didn't have a good way to arrive, so they could only try their luck by heading east.

The rations carried by the soldiers could only last two days. For the next journey, Wang Lang did not intend to use these life-saving food. If he wanted not to starve to death in this jungle, he could only hunt while walking.

After spending the night peacefully, the soldiers who recovered their physical strength packed up their things and continued to move towards the unknown deep forest.

The soldiers all knew that the food they carried was for emergency use. From this day on, everyone on the expedition searched for all edible things all the time.

In the afternoon, when the expedition team passed through a palm grove, they saw a huge animal sitting on the ground enjoying the trunk of the palm tree.

"Hush! Everyone, keep your voice down!" Wang Lang motioned for everyone to quiet down.

The soldiers licked their lips. If such a big animal was killed, it would be enough to eat for a long time.

"Lin Huo, take the archers and lurk in the nearby trees. Kong Yi, follow me and lurk in the grass with the spearmen. Be careful, don't scare this big guy away." Wang Lang told everyone separately Schedule tasks.

After Wang Lang finished speaking, the team split into two groups.

Lin Huo led twenty archers, bowed his body, and cautiously approached the animal.

Seeing that Lin Huo had already moved, Wan Gang waved his hand forward, and the spearmen dispersed and moved forward slowly.

"To be able to meet a big sloth is really bad luck for you, a beast. I will borrow your life today to support my subordinates." Wang Lang secretly said.

The large sloth, weighing several tons, didn't realize that the danger was approaching him. The starchy palm tree trunk made him get carried away with eating.

With such a size, generally speaking, few animals can threaten him. Even carnivorous dinosaurs would shy away from such a big sloth.

Seeing that the archers were ready, Wang Lang waved to Lin Huo to let him attack.

Lin Huo nodded towards Wang Lang, and said in a low voice, "Shoot!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Twenty arrows roared and flew towards the big sloth. It was very difficult to miss its huge size.

The sudden attack immediately made the big sloth panic, and roared to find out the enemy who attacked him.

But everyone hid, so that the big sloth got nothing and could only roar angrily at the surroundings.

After being shot by twenty arrows, this big sloth can still move freely, which startled Wang Lang, he never expected this guy to be so rough and thick.

Lin Huo saw that the first round of attacks had no effect, so he immediately launched a second round of attacks.

This unlucky big sloth was full of arrows in a blink of an eye, and blood flowed down the gray fur, making it a little short of breath.

It wanted to find out the enemy who was attacking it, but there was nothing around it except the sound of birds chirping. It was frightened and wanted to leave this terrible place.

Wang Lang sensed that his prey was planning to escape, so he stopped hiding and rushed out from the low bushes with his spearmen, and rushed towards the big sloth with teeth and claws.

Seeing that he was surrounded by these tiny animals, the bleeding sloth roared angrily, realizing that it was these creatures that attacked him just now.

The huge body was covered with scars and rushed towards several soldiers. It wanted to kill these creatures that brought pain to itself.

However, before it ran to the enemy, seven or eight spears flew over from behind, piercing its two hind legs in an instant.

"Boom" with a loud noise.

The heavy body fell heavily to the ground, and the body twitched a little due to the pain.

Seeing the prey in the end, everyone was extremely excited. The spearmen swarmed forward and stabbed the big sloth with their spears indiscriminately. In a blink of an eye, the animal, which was still alive and kicking, became a bloody mess. .

Holding the dagger, Wang Lang cut the sloth's throat at once, ending its suffering.

When such a large prey was hunted, the people were overjoyed, and several soldiers held the daggers to decompose the huge prey.

"Peel off the skin, the skin is useful." Wang Lang ordered.

Such a large animal skin is a very rare thing, as long as it is processed, it is a good bowstring material.

The soldiers carefully disemboweled and skinned the big sloth. The strong smell of blood made people sick.

Wang Lang frowned, the strong smell of blood might attract other carnivores.

"Leave four people to deal with this thing, and the others will be vigilant around!" Wang Lang ordered.

At this time, Lin Huo walked towards this side with the archers and joined the guard team.

At this moment, Wang Lang noticed the palm tree that the big sloth ate just now. He walked to a palm tree with a short sword and stabbed it down.

I thought this tree was very hard, but after poking it, I found that this tree is as fragile as tofu, and it is easy to prick into it.

Wang Lang slashed hard with his dagger, and immediately cut a huge opening. Pushing hard, the palm tree more than three meters high was easily pushed down.

Lin Huo walked up to Wang Lang, saw Wang Lang's strange behavior, and asked in confusion, "Lang, what are you doing?"

Wang Lang didn't speak, but squatted down and dug out a piece of white substance from the trunk of the palm tree with his dagger.

Carefully took this thing in his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, but there was no smell.

Wang Lang broke off a small piece and licked it lightly with his tongue, his eyes lit up immediately.

"It's actually sweet." Wang Lang muttered to himself.

"What sweet?" Lin Huo scratched his head and looked at Wang Lang suspiciously.

"Try this too!" Wang Lang handed the piece to Lin Huo.

Looking at the white mass, Lin Huo took a sip, the faint sweetness made him unable to describe what it was like at this moment, and he ate the big piece with just a few mouthfuls.

"Lang, what is this, it's so delicious." Lin Huo asked.

"I don't know what it is. I saw that thing eating this just now, so I came here out of curiosity. I didn't expect to find an edible plant." Wang Lang said slowly.

"Then shall we get this thing back?" Lin Huo asked.

Although this thing is rich in starch and sugar, judging from the current situation of the expedition team, it is an impossible task to take away this palm tree.
