Mountain and Forest Kingdom

In the early morning, Lawrence formed a team of five people to explore the forest.

In addition to the five people, there were two dogs.

The puppies that were three or four months old are no longer small. Now the two lively puppies are as big as big roosters.

Because Salil and others have been protecting the chickens, and they were often chased by the big rooster when they were young, the two puppies never dared to provoke the big rooster. If they were chased by the big rooster, they would scream and howl. .

What Lawrence doesn't want is this kind of coward who just knows how to play. It's a good thing that he doesn't dare to bully the chickens. After all, he needs to form his own recognition in the manor.

You can't be so weak when you go out. This time you take two puppies with you to hunt, just to gradually develop the hunting awareness of the two dogs.

It was not Lawrence who was responsible for leading the two puppies, but Sophia.

Sophia held a shield in one hand and shouted to the two running puppies with the other: "Jim! Lim! Follow!"

The two puppies rarely leave the manor, and this is the first time they come to this side of the forest.

The outside world was too new for the two puppies, and they quickly ran away, lowering their heads and sniffing randomly among the leaves and branches.

Hearing Sophia's call, the two puppies quickly ran over with cheerful steps.

Lawrence and others were not moving very fast. Seeing that the two puppies were in such good spirits, Salil said, "Put them in the basket, don't get lost."

Lawrence said: "It doesn't matter, Sofia is watching."

Salil reminded: "Let Seravan watch. Sophia's eyesight is better than ours. Taking care of two dogs will interfere with her concentration."

Lawrence suddenly realized that he had forgotten one thing. Sophia was not an ordinary little girl.

"Sofia, don't worry about the two dogs. Follow behind Reglo and be careful around you!"

"Yes, Master!" Sophia also wanted to come in handy and quickly walked from the back of the team to the front.

After the two puppies followed Sophia for a few steps, they were quickly attracted by the plants, grass and berries on the left and right. They lowered their heads and curiously looked for something on the ground.

Lawrence ignored the two puppies. They would bark when something happened, and they would rely on their noses to get back if they got lost.

If it doesn't know how to follow its owner, doesn't have a keen sense of smell to follow the scent, or doesn't have vision and memory, and doesn't know how to yell for its owner, then it is equivalent to a useless dog.

Lawrence and others walked forward for more than ten minutes, and the surrounding vision became dim. There were tall trees over forty meters high everywhere. There was little sunlight in the forest, and the temperature dropped significantly by several degrees.

Salil looked back and found that there were tall and similar cedar trees everywhere behind her.

"Lawrence! We're lost!" Salil panicked.

Lawrence looked back and said calmly: "No, we are walking in the southeast direction. If we go to the west, we can see the river, which is the river in front of our house."

Salil breathed a sigh of relief, "Really?"

Lawrence didn't waste any time and changed direction and said, "Let's go this way. Let's walk along the river and pay attention to see if there are any traces of wild beasts nearby."

Several people followed Lawrence to the so-called west side. Only Lawrence could clearly distinguish between east, west, north and south. The others almost forgot about it after entering the forest.

In addition to pine trees, there are also oak trees nearby. Lawrence thinks that if he continues walking, he can get closer to the area of ​​​​the Ug people, but for safety reasons...

"I suddenly remembered that a lot of people died there among the Ug people, and Doug would definitely not have buried all the bodies, nor would he have taken the trouble to bring them back."

Lawrence said calmly: "Maybe a wild beast was attracted."

Reglo asked: "I'll go over and take a look."

"No need." Lawrence said: "It's far away from us. The distance is enough to cope with it for a while. When the Pumi Xiu people come back, we can join forces to hunt there. Now everyone is not short of food."

Reguero agreed, and everyone followed Lawrence for three to four hundred meters. Sure enough, they saw the river behind a few big trees.

The river here does not flow towards the place where the Pumixiu people live, but winds down towards the south.

Lawrence did not remember that there was a river near the Ug people. This river should have been bypassed from a remote place. Considering that the Ug people had their own mountain spring water to draw from, the river should have flowed away from the Kingdom of Luofen. of.

Where exactly will it be extended?

When Lawrence was thinking about the unexplored areas ahead, Sophia shouted excitedly: "Master! There is a wild boar there!"

Hearing the wild boar, Lawrence quickly took off the bow and arrows he was carrying.

Sariel said quickly: "It's a dead pig."

Lawrence looked in the direction Salil was looking and saw the wild boar lying next to a gray mound of grass.

The wild boar is not very big. It looks about 1.78 meters long, about the same as an adult domestic pig of this era.

An adult boar can reach more than two meters in length, has a majestic body, extremely strong fighting ability, and is ferocious and aggressive.

Generally, except for breeding boars, all other boars will be killed in advance. No family will raise two adult boars at the same time.

Lawrence approached the boar that had been dead for about half a month. The pig's body had been eaten away by insects and wild beasts, leaving only a layer of skin and bones.

There was an obvious round hole in the skin of the abdomen, and there were also obvious holes in the remaining rotten flesh of the wild boar, like fatal wounds from a fight.

Lawrence quickly said: "It must have been an accident while fighting for a mate. If he was killed by wolves or bears, the bones in his body would not be so intact."

Salil retorted: "Wild boars prepare to give birth to piglets at the end of winter, and it should be over now."

Lawrence asked: "Then what do you think was the cause of death of this wild boar?"

Salil said blankly: "How do I know..."

Seravan, who had been silent all this time, said: "Maybe it was killed by a male wild boar. This wild boar broke into another wild boar's territory."

Lawrence looked around and said, "It seems there are other male wild boars here."

Salil ignored that and looked at the wild boar's body and said, "We can take out the pig's teeth and make them into daggers and weapons!"

Lawrence shook his head, "The best tusks are taken out when they are freshly killed, especially the tusks close to the brain are the easiest to preserve."

The tusks of most giant beasts are difficult to maintain and should not be exposed to wind or sun, nor should they be soaked in moisture or water.

The bones of dead beasts will soon lose their value. Many hunters kill toothed creatures such as giant elephants and take away the part of the tusks with brain blood, also called blood teeth.

Salil asked: "Then you don't want this pig tooth?"

Lawrence turned around and said, "No, there are too many bugs on it and it's too troublesome. Besides, there are iron tools, so why don't you ask for pig's teeth?"

Everyone walked back along the river, and after walking out of the cedar forest, they looked at the fish in the fish pond by the river.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the two tired puppies finally realized that they were lost and howled loudly in the forest.

Sofia shouted into the woods, and soon the two puppies followed the sound and ran back excitedly.

After confirming that there was a wild boar on the opposite side, Lawrence was not in a hurry to develop the forest, and planned to wait until autumn to find trouble with the wild boar.

The blacksmith must be very busy recently, and Lawrence needs a lot of iron tools.
