[Ice Age-07]
Mentioning Ke Shaobin's words, Yue Xingwen immediately leaned over and glanced at his laptop.
The energy fluctuations detected by the small image radar scan are displayed in the computer in different colors, for example, metals usually appear as blue, while living heat sources appear as red blobs.
At this time, several huge red clumps suddenly appeared in the laptop, and those clumps were slowly moving towards their position as if they had woken up. Judging from the area of the mass, the giant animals over 2 meters high are likely to be the ancient creatures that Qin Lu said had long since become extinct - the cave bear.
Yue Xingwen quickly looked around. There was a vast white wasteland around him. There was no trace of a tree, and there was no stone to hide. Yue Xingwen clenched his fingers nervously, staring straight ahead.
Ke Shaobin looked at the behemoth in the notebook moving towards them, and quickly typed on the research group channel: "Isn't it blocking the sound? How did they find us?"
Jiang Pingce typed calmly: "It should be the sense of smell. The sense of smell of animals is more sensitive than that of humans. They are likely to smell the smell of fresh food, so they are disturbed."
Yue Xingwen just used the "don't make noise" skill to block the ambient sound, but it didn't block everyone's smell.
Cave bears are omnivorous animals, they eat grass roots, leaves, and meat. In such a wasteland, their food is already scarce, and Yue Xingwen and his party approaching the lair where they live is simply a delicious food delivered to the door!
Yue Xingwen looked back at Jiang Pingce and asked him about the cooling down of his skills with his eyes. Jiang Pingce compared a gesture, meaning that the coordinate system skills can still be used for 3 minutes.
With a coordinate system in hand, even if you can't beat it, you can at least escape.
Yue Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and typed: "There are so many bears, we must not be able to deal with it. We will focus on one of them later, and make a quick decision. The battle will be resolved within 3 minutes!"
Qin Lu typed and said, "I've used up my plate exercise 12 times. The 800-pound bear, how can we move it back?"
Jiang Pingce replied: "3 minutes in the coordinate system."
Everyone suddenly realized that it seems that Xingwen and Pingce have made eye contact and have obtained this key information, so they asked everyone to solve the battle within 3 minutes and let Jiang Pingce transport the bear back to the base.
At this moment, several huge brown cave bears scrambled out of the cave in front of them. They were over 2 meters tall and weighed more than 800 kilograms. Such a behemoth, with a slap, can take a picture of a tiny human in an instant. Mash!
The cave bear saw eight humans ahead, a species they had never seen before.
A few cave bears were obviously stunned, and seemed to be a little puzzled where these "small animals" came from
But they didn't think about it in detail. The nature of animals foraging made them quickly judge that these small guys should be edible.
The leading cave bear opened its big mouth, and the other cave bears also showed sharp fangs, and their eyes flashed with scarlet light. Obviously, they were very hungry!
The next moment, the big bear headed quickly rushed towards Yue Xingwen!
The size of these bears is too large, and the brown-black fur on their bodies is thick and hard, like raised barbs. With a weight of more than 800 kilograms, it is like an earthquake when running, and even the surrounding ground is shaking!
Their movements were not agile, but they rushed in front of everyone in an instant. Several bears locked their prey respectively, and the huge bear paws slapped the prey's heads.
Yue Xingwen said loudly, "Qin Lu, control them!"
The 10-minute ambient sound blocking has ended and he can make sounds.
Ahead, a giant bear was rushing towards Qin Lu. In front of a giant beast that is several times bigger, humans will instinctively have fear, Qin Lu's face turned pale with fright, and in a hurry, he shouted: "Siberia cold!"
The cold current of the geography department will form a large-scale freezing control around it, freezing the targets in the designated area.
Three cave bears were instantly frozen into ice sculptures by Qin Lu.
Their postures are very strange. One of the bears has a huge bear paw that is only 10 cm away from Qin Lu. Qin Lu quickly stepped back a few steps and said in a trembling voice: "The control time is limited, everyone hurry up and focus on this one!"
Zhuo Feng raised his right hand, and a dense golden electric current instantly enveloped the giant bear's body.
The bear let out a deafening roar!
The roar of the giant beast almost shattered the nearby ice field. Everyone was terrified by the roar. Zhuo Feng gritted his teeth and increased the voltage of the high-voltage electricity. The golden current quickly ran around the giant beast. Got electrocuted.
Lin Manluo quickly raised her right hand, and six green vines rushed out like a snake, tightly wrapping the giant bear's body. The vines on the neck tightened more and more. With the tacit cooperation of the two, the ancient behemoth quickly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with a "bang".
This guy was too big, and when he fell to the ground, it stirred up a layer of dust around him. Snowflakes mixed with dust flew in the air and splashed everyone's faces. The students quickly retreated to avoid being crushed to death by it.
At the same time, the two bears that Qin Lu could not control and were out of range were angrily attacking Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce on the side. Seeing that the two bears were about to throw Yue Xingwen down, Jiang Pingce raised his right hand decisively. With his left hand, he lightly wrapped his arms around Yue Xingwen's waist, and instantly flew into the air with Yue Xingwen!
Yue Xingwen said quickly in the air: "You guys don't move around here, I'll buy you an orange."
Teammates: "… "
The two bears were inexplicably affected by the control skills, froze in place and unable to move at all. And the two oranges that appeared in Yue Xingwen's hands were naturally not given to them. Yue Xingwen put away the oranges and said, "Everyone, get out!"
Of the five giant bears that acted together this time, two of them were frozen by Qin Lu's Siberian cold current, and the other two were frozen by Yue Xingwen's orange buying skill. The one closest to Qin Lu was attacked by Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo. was brought down.
Jiang Pingce quickly wrote down a few formulas and said, "Everyone gather, withdraw!"
8 people, 1 bear, under the control of Jiang Pingce, quickly performed aerial movements. Within 3 minutes, they returned to the base at the edge of the ice sheet. Jiang Pingce's skills were just cooling down.
Yue Xingwen glanced at the serious-looking boy beside him, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile, "There is no danger!"
Jiang Pingce nodded: "Yes."
Liu Zhaoqing looked at the behemoth on the ground, squatted down, stretched out his hand and touched its fur lightly, and said, "This guy is about the size of an elephant, enough for us to eat for a long time. Its fur is relatively hard and is used to make clothes... Barely keeping warm?"
Lin Manluo looked complicated: "Do you really want to eat bears?"
Yue Xing Wendao: "Since ancient times, there is a saying that you can't have both fish and bear's paw. In ancient people's recipes, there has always been bear, and bear's paw is a very famous dish. Modern people do not eat bears because the number of bears has changed. It has become a cherished and protected animal. We are now in the Ice Age, and whether we eat it or not, this cave bear will eventually become extinct.”
Qin Lu agreed: "Yes, cave bears belong to ancient creatures. Their fossils have been found in northern my country, which proves that they once existed in the Quaternary Ice Age, and they became extinct at the end of the Ice Age. Whether we eat or not eat, it also depends on whether we eat or not. There is no way to change this result. In reality, rare animals must not be hunted, but now is a million years ago, and everyone does not need to have a psychological burden.”
At this time, Zhang Xiaonian had dug the foundation. When I saw my teammates typing on the research group channel just now, the four people who stayed at the base were very worried. After hearing the conversation outside, Zhang Xiaonian and Xu Yishen immediately ran up to check the situation, and as a result, they saw that everyone came back with a giant bear.
Zhang Xiaonian was stunned: "Are you all okay?"
Ke Shaobin said with a smile, "It's fine, after all, we know magic, and if we cooperate well, hunting is still very simple."
Yue Xingwen said: "Everyone, let's work and bring this bear to the base."
Liu Zhaoqing's scalpel couldn't even pierce a bear's fur, so he had to use a surgical chainsaw. Some people couldn't stand the bloody scene, so they ran to the base ahead of time, out of sight, but Senior Brother Liu looked calm.
He was really hungry after all!
After the big bear was dealt with, everyone returned to the base, Xin Yan lit the fire, and everyone began to roast the bear meat on the fire with the branches of Manluo, and soon, the house was filled with a burning smell.
Ke Shaobin flipped the branches in his hand, and while grilling, he whispered, "I never thought that I would still be able to eat bear meat in this life."
Xin Yan said lightly: "If you like, you can also eat wolves, tigers, lions, and elephants."
The corners of Ke Shaobin's mouth trembled slightly: "My recipes have never had these messes!"
Eat wolves, eat tigers? Ke Shaobin felt that after eating these things, he would definitely have nightmares.
After a while, Yue Xingwen asked, "Are you ready?"
Liu Zhaoqing said in a low voice, "Everyone should be more cautious and bake for a while. We have never seen this kind of ancient creature before. If the meat is not cooked, it will be troublesome."
In reality, you have also heard stories of some pastoral residents eating raw meat and contracting various diseases as a result. Roasting and eating it can kill bacteria and parasites in animals to a certain extent.
Ke Shaobin cut the meat into small pieces and then roasted it. After it was cooked, he tasted it first, and then showed an indescribable expression.
Xin Yan asked, "Isn't it delicious?"
Ke Shaobin said with a bitter face: "It's like chewing wood, and there is no seasoning, it's really hard to swallow!"
Yue Xingwen took a sip and said helplessly: "Let's just take it. In addition to hunting these ancient animals in the Ice Age, we could only dig the permafrost to find weeds to eat. As long as we survive, we can go back."
Jiang Pingce swallowed a piece of meat expressionlessly.
Seeing the ugly faces of the classmates, Yue Xingwen took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere and distributed the oranges to everyone: "Come, eat something sweet and sour to get your taste back."
A group of people ate the strange bear meat that was tough and tasteless, and couldn't help but miss the vegetable soup and instant noodles from the Environmental Institute. Ke Shaobin sighed: "When will these days come to an end? I really want to go back to Hua'an University to take the final exam as soon as possible. I told my parents that after the exam, I will go to the beach for a vacation and eat seafood."
Speaking of this, Yue Xingwen felt even more depressed. The paper he finally wrote has not been handed in, and the newly bought mobile phone has also been lost. It was really bad luck that he was pulled into the library.
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath, smiled and comforted everyone: "After passing the Geography Institute, our minimum credits are 62. It is estimated that we will graduate after 4 to 5 colleges. Let's stick to it."
Ke Shaobin recovered his spirits, took a bite of the bear meat, and said, "It's fortunate that I have you. In this way, my luck is actually pretty good, haha, I have met so many people in the 183 research group."
Lan Yarong smiled and said, "So, we are considered the lucky ones among the unlucky ones?"
Zhuo Feng said: "Let's put it this way! Our research group is making the fastest progress now, and everyone is very strong. There is no need to be discouraged. If even we can't graduate from the library, the failure rate of the library will be 90%. % or more."
Brother Zhuo is very confident in this team, and others are also encouraged by what he has to say.
Ice Age, a 4-credit course is actually not that difficult!
In the freezing weather, they had Xin Yan's distillation bottle, alcohol lamp, Liu Shixiong's gauze, Jiang Pingce's coordinate system and Qin Lu's plate transposition. Sitting in a bottle to resist the cold, I successfully walked out of the boundless glacier.
Now, they have also successfully hunted and killed an ancient giant bear to eat. Although it is not delicious, at least the food and water can be guaranteed.
Then it's a matter of time.
As long as they survive the 10 days required by the exam, they can leave the Ice Age.
