The Shadow of The Beginning

Chapter 266: Analysis and fire

Views:

After lying by the river to rest for half a day, Jobtran woke up from his sleep.

The feeling of weakness coming from his limbs clearly conveyed to Jobtran's mind that he was still weak.

He opened his eyes and saw a mouse looking at him with a sad face, with some herbs beside it.

"My lord, you are awake."

Joe Butran stood up and said weakly,

"I didn't realize you could mix potions. My Icelandic krona looks like it was well spent."

The mouse scratched his head shyly.

"Actually, these herbs suddenly appeared outside the tent, and I don't know if they will work."

When Jobtran heard this, he suddenly became interested.

"Give me a hand."

The mouse half-knelt and gently helped Jobtran sit up straight, then handed him the herbs in the wooden bowl.

When Joe Butran saw these familiar medicinal herbs, his heart warmed. He had already guessed who the kind-hearted person who sent the medicine was.

A warm smile rose unconsciously on his face, and then he said to the mouse seriously,

"I'll lie down for a while while you go to the river and catch some fish."

The mouse was startled when he heard this.

"Grilled fish tonight?"

Jobtran smiled and shook his head.

“A gift of return.

What about Hoover

"We are guarding outside the tent. There are many large animals in the deep mountains and forests. If we don't guard against such a simple camp, it will be easy to be attacked."

The mouse said seriously.

“Tell him to come in and rest. This is the territory of an old friend of mine. He will be fine.

By the way, where is the gun in my hand?"

Jobtran remembered the energy weapon he brought from the Ancient One, and found that there was no trace of the weapon around him, so he asked the mouse about it.

“I put it in your bag.

Can this gun be a help to us?"

Mouse pointed to the backpacks stacked in the corner.

“Well, last time in the hallway we proved that the hound had substance.

If that's the case, this gun can cause damage to it.

The reason why the ancient creature in the ice cave was able to survive was probably due to this gun.

But I think this gun must have some weaknesses, otherwise the ancients would not have deliberately built an arc-shaped room for self-protection."

Joe Butran recalled the details of the time and analyzed.

“I also noticed that this gun seemed to have a strong recoil.

When the Ancient One was fighting you, it seemed that he suffered a strong recoil when he fired his gun. "

The mouse recalled what he had seen from the corridor and tried to analyze it.

"There is also the issue of the interval between the shots. The Ancient One did not fire the second shot after firing the first shot.

If the second shot had been fired, I might have been the one to die in the ice cave."

Jobtran said with lingering fear.

"Um.

My lord, you are really brave.

If it were me, I would have died at the hands of the Ancient One."

The mouse scratched his messy hair and said shyly.

Joe Butran chuckled.

“Remember before the adventure when you said you wanted to join

This kind of stimulation will be your daily life from now on, right?"

The mouse shuddered as he recalled all the thrilling battles.

"No way?"

"You're lying. We have a clear classification system in our investigation bureau.

The lowest-level dog-level investigators would at most come into contact with mysterious items with weak curses or mysterious creatures with weak combat capabilities.

Only when there is an extreme shortage of manpower will you be able to take on tasks with higher risk levels.

So, don’t worry.”

Joe Butran lay down, exhaled lightly and said.

“Then I feel much more at ease.

I thought a newbie like me would have to fight, wouldn't that be suicide?"

The mouse smiled awkwardly.

“My lord, please take some time to rest, the hounds may come and attack us again.

I can only rely on you then."

Joe Butran nodded slightly, then continued to close his eyes and rest.

——

As the blue light flickered, Silas came back to his senses and found that he seemed to be in another world.

There are towering trees around me, each of which is as tall as several floors in modern times.

The moist air carried a hint of grass, and I could hear the rustling of insects rising and falling in the nearby grass.

The soil beneath Silas's feet was wet with morning dew, and a footprint of some depth had been left where Silas stood.

Unlike the coarse linen clothes he wore when he was transported to the Ark, at this time Silas only had a piece of what looked like yak fur covering his vital parts. He didn't even have a pair of shoes on his feet, and he was holding a spear made of wood in his hand.

Before Silas could explore the new scene, he heard vibrations coming from the soil on the ground.

At first it was just a slight tremor, but later the whole earth seemed to be shaking.

Silas heard the sound of trees falling and the roar of animals coming from afar.

Silas had no time to think about what happened next, because he saw rabbits as big as foals running out from the grass.

They walked right past Silas without even a glance at him.

Next, a large group of wild boars with a pair of fangs like scimitars appeared. The wild boars became furious and ran away.

Running desperately, trying to escape from the disaster chasing after him.

Silas realized that something was wrong, so he used his spear to propel himself on the ground and rolled over to one of the wild boars, which looked fat but was actually full of tendon meat.

"Dang Kang! Dang Kang!"

The boar was frightened by the sudden attack and started to shake its body, but Silas grabbed the boar's tusks and clamped his legs around the boar's body.

Silas had no way to stop the wild boar from swinging its weight on his back.

Its eyes turned red as it got angry. It dug the ground vigorously with its front hooves twice. A stream of white liquid spurted out of its long pig nose, and then it used all four hooves to crash into a nearby large branch.

"Fuck!"

The wild boar showed no intention of stopping and was about to hit the tree. Silas deftly touched the boar with his toes, then flipped backwards and used the toe of his right foot to leverage on the boar's butt to throw himself out.

The wild boar's pair of sharp fangs were embedded in the tree trunk, and the wild boar itself was seeing stars and looked like it was about to faint.

It used all four hooves to try to pull itself out of the tree trunk, but the curved shape of its fangs made this extremely difficult.

Its eyes were filled with helplessness and fear. It looked at the vibrations behind it getting closer and closer, and its body couldn't help but begin to tremble.

"Dang Kang! Dang Kang!!!"

Silas noticed the boar's plight after landing and sensed the impending crisis.

It was obvious that he could not outrun the unknown behind him with his own legs. At this time, he had only one choice, which was to help the wild boar.

The other wild boars had already fled for their lives. If I caused the death of this wild boar because of my own mistakes, I would feel guilty.

Silas walked to the side of the wild boar and patted its head gently.

"Don't move."

The boar glared at Silas with human eyes, as if complaining.

"This is not your fault."

Silas thrust his spear into the trunk, piercing a part of the trunk from another angle, then exerted force with his hand and created a crack in the entire piece of bark.

He put his fingers on the crack, and then there was a click and the bark cracked.

The wild boar took advantage of the situation and used all its strength to move its body. In this critical and difficult situation, it pulled out its proud fangs, but it also fell to the ground and was covered in mud.

"Dang Kang, Dang Kang! Dang Kang!"

The wild boar called out happily a few times, then shook its fat, splashing mud and water everywhere.

Silas, who was standing next to the wild boar, was hit first and had mud splashed all over his face.

There was no time to find water to wash off the dirt on his body. Silas once again turned over onto the wild boar, then gently pulled the pig's ears hanging on both sides.

"Run for your life, man!"

"Dang Kang!"

Luo Li, who was outside the field, saw this scene and rolled on the ground, holding her stomach.

"Horse Rider Silas! Hahaha!"

Silas naturally couldn't hear any information outside the scene. A man and a pig performed a fast and furious show in this place that was completely unfamiliar to Silas.

The wild boar didn't stop until it came to a rushing river.

There is no way to go ahead, and a large number of animals have gathered here in panic.

Most of the animals on the river bank were species that Silas had never seen before, but they were all very large.

Even in front of a cute but huge cat, Silas felt that his body was as humble and small as a cheap toy.

The long river in front of us is two hundred meters wide, and the water is rushing at an extremely fast speed.

Silas knew that jumping into the water was not a wise choice, but on the other side of the river was a bottomless waterfall, and jumping from the waterfall would surely be a dead end.

A few brave animals jumped into the river, but were washed under the waterfall screaming.

Faced with this predicament, Silas had no idea what to do until he had an idea.

"Pig is counting on you!"

Silas grabbed the boar's ears tightly, and the boar ran upstream in pain.

"Dang Kang!"

Seeing this, the other animals followed Silas. Instead of waiting to die in a hurry, they chose to follow this little guy to take the adventure.

For a moment, Silas thought he had become the king of beasts, until he saw the huge creature running out of the woods, crushing the towering trees.

It has a long neck that is as tall as the clouds and a huge body that is highly recognizable.

Every step left a deep footprint on the ground.

This huge quadruped had many scars on its body, and after it appeared on the scene and let out a long roar, it fell to the ground with a bang.

Silas looked in the direction where the giant creature fell, and only then saw the reason why the animals fled.

The sky, which should have been blue, was filled with dark clouds, and a terrible storm was brewing amidst the lightning and thunder, but this was not the scariest thing.

Fiery meteors with long tails streaked across the sky, and many flaming meteors hit the ground one after another, forming shock waves.

What followed was black smoke and continuous fire.

These towering trees become the best fuel for fire, and it only takes a short time for a spark to ignite a tree and then ignite the entire forest.

The animals have no place to hide at all. Animals that used to rely on tree holes for survival have abandoned their territories and habitats in order to barely survive.

However, many animals did not have time to react and fainted in the thick smoke, and were then burned by the flames into charcoal-like corpses.

Silas looked at the sky. There would be more and more fireballs like this, and there would be basically no escape from the living environment on the ground.

The most fatal thing is that one of the fireballs is extremely large. It is hard to imagine what consequences this meteorite will cause if it hits the ground.

Was Silas desperate? He was desperate, but he was still thinking about how to survive.

Looking at the fallen behemoth, Silas came up with an idea.

He shouted,

"Whether you can understand or not, just come and help!"

He jumped off the boar and pushed the four-legged animal hard towards the river bank.

The wild boar looked at Silas's actions blankly and tilted his neck.

Silas' face turned red with anxiety, but the fallen creature in front of him was too heavy, and he couldn't move it even a little bit with his own strength.

The beautiful meteor brings to the world not the beautiful wishes that people make in their hearts, but a devastating disaster.

A smaller fireball with an orange-red tail flame hit the bushes near Silas, and the creatures began to feel uneasy. They stood up and roared towards the sky, as if they were complaining to the master of the sky about the injustice of the world.

They received no response, only more meteors hit the ground.

The wild boar made a few clanging sounds, and then did something that Silas didn't expect.

It abandoned Silas and returned to its own tribe.

Silas smiled bitterly.

"It won't be a problem if Cenetri dies, right?"

He closed his eyes and waited for the impact of the largest meteorite.

"Dang Kang! Dang Kang!"

The scene changed dramatically as wild boars and their herd came running from the river bank.

Hundreds of wild boars attacked the now dead dinosaur.

Even though their tusks were broken and their noses were bruised and bleeding, they did not stop their hooves.

Silas opened his eyes and looked at the wild boars in disbelief.

“So you didn’t give up.”

Silas whispered to himself.

The body moved slightly, but it was still not enough.

Seeing this, other animals joined in pushing the corpse, and then with a splash, they pushed it into the river.

Before Silas could cheer, his expression changed.

Its body blocked the river, diverting the water into two directions, and the rushing water rushed towards the river bank.

Silas used his hands and feet to climb up from its tail, and the other animals followed suit and climbed up the dam of flesh in their own ways.

They crossed the river, reached the other side, and gained a glimmer of hope.

Silas understood that the catastrophe of this world had not yet ended, but had just begun.

"Dang Kang Dang Kang!"

The wild boar rubbed Silas from behind, as if calling on him not to give up.

"Okay, Dang Kang. Let's go up that mountain."

Silas rubbed the pig's ears affectionately and cast his gaze towards the mountains behind the jungle.

If a meteorite brings an impact, only the high mountains will be spared.

To gamble or not to gamble

The answer is obvious.
