Chapter 387: Archer
The sky gradually brightened, and after a night's rest, Lin Rui's body recovered slightly, but hunger was still a big problem that bothered him. He hadn't eaten for a day and a night. Lin Rui cautiously walked out of the woods and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
He suddenly realized that there was no sound in the woods. In general, in the early morning, there are always a variety of birds calling in the woods. But there wasn't one, and the silence was unusual. Lin Rui thought about it for a moment and suddenly understood, this was another trick done by the competition.
They must have used a device similar to ultrasonic bird repellent. This device is usually used near the airport, but if deployed near the woods, it can not only drive a large number of birds, but also small animals such as rodents away from the woods.
They did this undoubtedly to squeeze the living environment of the contestants to the extreme.
"Damn. Lin Rui shook his head helplessly, "These bastards really do everything. ”
He thought about it for a moment and felt that it was not a way to wander through the woods with his bare hands like this. I still have to find something to defend myself. He had no weapons on his body, and when he was brought here, the black-clad guards searched him and failed to bring any weapons in.
In desperation, Lin Rui still chose a slightly stronger branch to hold in his hand. He found another stone and put it in the front end, and tied it tightly with a thin rope to make a stone axe similar to that used by primitive people. It's simple, but it's a good idea.
"It's really a night back to primitive society. Lin Rui reluctantly carried the stone axe in his hand and continued to walk into the depths of the forest. Maybe you'll be able to get some luck there. He carefully watched the ground for signs to make sure there were any animals nearby. Unfortunately, there is nothing, and the woods seem to have been cleared a long time ago. There is no doubt that this was done by the man in the suit of the organizer again.
Lin Rui cursed secretly and turned to other places to check, this time he found a few mushrooms under the big trees. He carefully discerned it, picked one, and ate it raw on the spot. He learned a lot of skills from Quentin to survive in the wild, including how to identify edible fungi.
However, this kind of thing can only be used for temporary emergencies, and it is not advisable to eat too much. Because the types of wild mushrooms vary greatly, some have exactly the same shape but completely different effects, and poisonous mushrooms are enough to kill. Even the experienced Quentin has been through Lin Rui and other students, and as a last resort, don't try wild mushrooms lightly.
Although the mushroom soup is delicious, eating mushrooms raw is another matter. Lin Rui frowned, holding back the unique taste of raw mushrooms. He looked around again alertly, it seemed to be safe, no one had been here. There are no traces of trampling on the surrounding grass, and there are no traces left on the soft soil.
But just when he felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the mottled shadows on the ground moving slightly. It's not good to have someone in the tree
Lin Rui's first thought was danger, and he rolled on the spot almost without hesitation, and a crude arrow was inserted into the position where he was originally standing. The attacker in the tree missed the blow and immediately jumped from the tree and ran into the forest without looking back.
Lin Rui didn't catch up, because anything could happen in the woods. Instead of catching up, he drew the arrow from the ground and turned and ducked into the woods. Hidden arrows are difficult to defend, and the opponent uses homemade bows and arrows, which are crude but still lethal.
Lin Rui avoided into the dense forest and took a closer look at the arrow in his hand, which was made of simple sharpening of tree branches, and the arrow was actually metal. Lin Rui could see at a glance that the metal was derived from the metal buckle on the clothes and was polished. Such an arrow can't shoot people, but Lin Rui looked at the arrow carefully and frowned slightly. The arrow has been quenched with poison, and there is a snake in this wood, and the arrow should be snake venom.
It seems that the other party is still a master. If he had been wounded by this arrow just now, he would have been infected with snake venom. If the venom of a scaly rattlesnake were applied to an arrowhead, it would not kill him, but it would be incapacitated.
What made Lin Rui wonder was why this mysterious archer fled immediately after missing a hit. Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't have given up so easily.
However, Lin Rui didn't care about thinking so much, he carefully put away the poisoned arrow, turned around and looked for it. He walked very carefully with his knees bent and bent without making a sound, ready to deal with a danger at any time.
Obviously, the archer who attacked him was no longer there. Marks on the ground indicate that this is a man of not very tall stature, nimble and agile. And it is very patient, at least to make such a bow and poisoned arrows with bare hands, it takes a lot of patience.
Lin Rui frowned slightly and continued to walk forward, and under a tree in front of him, he saw a person who had been knocked unconscious. Lin Rui knew this man, and he was also one of the nine people in the first stage of the competition in Tongguò. But now that the man has been knocked unconscious, the electronic bracelet on his wrist is no longer there, and it is obvious that someone has taken it.
Lin Rui shook his head, these bracelets almost made them the target of public criticism. The organizers of the Waynes contest are killing each other's 45 contestants. Until finally a fifth of the number remains, which in itself is a brutal competition.
Lin Rui looked down at the wound on his neck, the wound was small and shallow, and it shouldn't have been so fatal. Lin Rui took out the arrow in his heart and compared it carefully. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was indeed an arrow wound. It seems that the mysterious archer was very active, and he had already attacked more than one person.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and it seemed that there were quite a few people. Lin Rui immediately dodged to the side and squatted among the dense bushes.
"Be careful, that bastard is an Indian, and he has a knack for making arrows with snake venom and making traps in the woods. So he's very proficient in this kind of unconventional jungle warfare. Someone in the crowd whispered.
"There's another guy here. Someone suddenly exclaimed, apparently they had also spotted the unconscious man on the ground.
"He's unconscious, it's an arrow wound, it's definitely that Indian bastard. The men whispered.
"Damn, this guy was the winner of the first stage, and the Indian got the bracelet. Someone in the team whispered.
"Don't make a sound, the Indians must be nearby. Find him, and I'm going to abolish him. A big black man seemed to hate the archer, and his face was covered with bruises, as if he had suffered the archer's loss
