Chapter 490: Chapter 490 Shooting the Monster
This environment, if they wanted to run, it was simply impossible to achieve; on the contrary, running would only make it easier for them to fall to the ground.
“Quick, get everything ready.”
Just at this moment, a hunter suddenly shouted, and then he raised his hunting rifle and took aim at that creature.
Upon seeing this thing, that creature just paused for a moment, and then quickly ran several steps in the opposite direction.
It was very fast, so fast that it had outpaced the swing speed of the hunting rifle.
The hunter quickly turned the gun around, but found that by the time he had the muzzle aimed at the prey, it had once again run off in another direction.
This went on back and forth, countless times.
“Don’t move for now, this kind of tossing and turning is simply no solution.”
Lin Yi reached out his hand and pushed the hunter beside him.
At that moment, the hunter only paused.
Actually, he just wanted to take aim at this prey and fire, but who knew that it would keep jumping around here.
“If we don’t take it down, we simply can’t move forward.”
“But like this, it’s ultimately not a solution, don’t you see? It’s been dodging the hunting rifle the whole time; clearly, it must know this is a weapon that’s bad for it.”
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
“Currently, I don’t have a good solution either, let’s see if we can think of some other way to lure it away.”
“Lure it away? What could we do? Are we really going to rely on food as bait?”
“Ah, right, now that you mention it, using food as bait might just be a good idea?”
“Are you saying, throw the food far away, then let it go search for the food while we take the chance to leave from here or something?”
“Yes, exactly that.”
“You’re thinking too simple. Surviving in the wild is definitely different from domesticated animals, it’s not a dog. If you give it something, it might leave, but it might not really do it.”
“That’s not necessarily true, besides, you also don’t understand what exactly this thing is, right?”
“I indeed haven’t seen it before, haven’t even heard of it. Look, from a distance, it just looks like a tree, but now that we’re closer, it’s clearly not.”
“Get some food out.”
Lin Yi turned his head and then spoke to Hei Lang.
Although Hei Lang also couldn’t understand his behavior, it seemed that under these circumstances, there wasn’t a better solution.
“Big brother, do you think this method will work? Moreover, this is our human food after all; it might not be effective for it.”
“How can you know without trying? Come on, hand it over to me, let’s see if there’s any canned food.”
“There is canned food.”
As he spoke, Hei Lang took out a fast-food can from the bottom and put it in front of him.
Lin Yi took it in his hands and shook it gently, then opened it, and quickly a pungent delicious scent wafted up.
“I wonder if this creature is carnivorous? If it’s really a herbivore, then I’m truly out of options.”
While speaking, he emptied the can and then threw it far away, toward another direction,
but that thing didn’t move at all.
It seemed as if it wasn’t interested in anything he had to offer.
When Lin Yi saw all this, he gradually realized his action was probably superfluous.
“Look, big brother, I told you, throwing those things wouldn’t have any effect at this time.”
Lin Yi’s brow was tightly furrowed, as though he hadn’t really come to realize all that was happening before his eyes.
“It’s strange, with not even a bit of attraction, could it be that it is really a herbivore?”
“That’s right, if it is a herbivore, then perhaps fundamentally it poses no threat to us, can’t we just walk past it then?”
“Just to be safe, we still can’t do that, and besides, we know too little about it, old brother, what do you think?”
“I’m completely out of ideas; I’ve never seen such a thing before, otherwise, I might just shoot it and settle the matter.”
While speaking, the hunter once again picked up the hunting rifle and aimed it at the prey.
But strangely, this time, the prey did not move.
Seizing this opportunity, the hunter suddenly pulled the trigger.
A bullet swiftly shot out, and with it, the prey collapsed to the ground.
It didn’t struggle in the slightest.
Although he felt it was a pity, and he also didn’t know what the other intended to do, now that it had been shot down by them, Lin Yi still felt a strange sensation in his heart.
“Well, it’s finally taken care of.”
After speaking, the hunter let out a long sigh of relief.
“Let’s go, we’ll go see what exactly it is.”
With that, everyone followed Lin Yi and walked forward.
All of them were closely following behind, and in fact, everyone was filled with curiosity about the creature, eager to discover what secrets it hid.
It was only after they approached that they realized its entire body was covered with bark-like material.
Moreover, its head was shaped like a triangle.
Such an odd creature, Lin Yi probably never imagined in his life that he would encounter one.
He just curiously reached out to touch its skin, but the hunter promptly grabbed him.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to feel if its skin is very rough.”
“Whether it’s rough or not has nothing to do with you; don’t you forget? Curiosity could be lethal here.”
The hunter still had a profound memory of the recent events.
His reminder wasn’t for no reason. So, when Lin Yi heard it, he simply nodded lightly.
“Alright then, these things are of no use to us anyways, let’s keep going forward. What’s that?”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi suddenly widened his eyes in horror.
Because he now saw, from all sides, were so many creatures, and all of them looked exactly the same as the one lying on the ground.
