Chapter 862 - "Something Wrong!"
Looking east from under the walls, I watched as the trees thinned out and knee-high grass drowned out the soldiers' vision.
The weeds that are so vigorous are still green this winter, and they don't change even in late autumn.
Snow fell from the sky, and the soldier tightened the rope on his fluffy hat to bring the fluff around his hat closer to his face.
The soldier, who finally felt the warmth, let out a long sigh of relief, and with his right hand with thick gloves, he picked up the binoculars placed on the table next to him, and looked farther with the help of this tool.
By adjusting the tube, he saw a herd of deer galloping across the steppe, it was supposed to be the small-horned deer that had flowed from the Black Forest to the savannah, and now the group had multiplied into a large race on the savannah, but it was still at the bottom of the food chain.
"Hey!" the soldier waved his fist excitedly, he felt as if he had seen something just now, but he didn't expect it to be!
The wolves are far behind the deer, sometimes accelerating suddenly, startling the deer, and sometimes slowing down, making the deer let their guard down and look like a skilled hunter.
It's an instinct that's engraved in the veins of animals like wolves, and they're born with this.
In the eyes of the soldiers, these small-horned deer are probably going to die today, because they will not fight the wolves, and if the wolves pounce on a deer to the ground, they will immediately stop and eat quietly from a short distance, ignoring the wolves who are not far from them.
It's also their instinct, and in order to reproduce, they have to run away with all their might, and then try their best to fill their bellies, especially in this winter when food is scarce...... Well, it should have been the winter when food was scarce.
The soldier was not surprised by these phenomena that defied natural sense, and this was the second year he had seen such a sight, and since last year, the green grass of the prairie will wither and break, but it will not wither and yellow.
According to the mages, it was the magic elements that gradually affected the grassland, so even the plants changed.
"Huh?"
His eyes narrowed behind the telescope, and the soldier felt as if he had discovered something unusual.
He adjusted the distance between the objective and eyepiece again, zooming in on the distance, his gaze sweeping over the belly of the deer.
At this moment, a small-horned deer that had landed at the end of the line was thrown to the ground and let out a terrible wail, and although it was not audible here, the soldier could still feel the despair of the small-horned deer.
But his attention was not on that side, and his gaze quickly turned to the deer, which slowed their run, their bodies trembling with their breath, but soon lowered their heads again, and nibbled on the green grass at their feet, along with the snow on the blades of grass.
After a moment of careful observation, the soldier's eyes suddenly widened, "That, that's?!"
He could finally be sure, it wasn't him who was dazzled just now, but really saw it!
The son of a farmer, he had been exposed to livestock since he was a child, and he also went on several hunting trips with the team during his years as a soldier.
When hunting, all hunters have a consensus, that is, never kill pregnant female beasts, although it is not necessary to kill, but only a very few people will deliberately hunt this type of female beasts, other hunters find that their prey is pregnant, even if it takes a lot of effort, will only secretly curse "bad luck" and let the prey go.
This is the consensus of all hunters, and the soldiers who go out hunting with the team certainly have the ability to tell if the female is pregnant.
But what is he seeing now?
Most of the females in the herd are pregnant, and at the end of this winter!
And they must not have been pregnant for a short time, otherwise it would be impossible for the soldiers to tell the difference.
Just kidding, the estrus period of the lesshorn deer is in early spring, and the pregnancy time is about three to four months, and it is born in late summer.
Even though the soldier had already seen a lot of violations of common sense, he was still deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and opened the 'emergency manual' on a table in the sentry with a trembling right hand.
Because of the compulsory learning of the army, they have been able to read and write, so he should know what to do, and he should know what to do now......
"Call the mage, yes, call the mage!"
Turning the familiar "Emergency Manual" to page thirty-two, the soldier found the answer he wanted, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and kept muttering this sentence in his mouth.
Flipping through the drawer, the soldier found the hammer marked 'Call', picked it up, and smashed it against the small clock beside it.
When—
The sound of the bell made the soldier's ears ache, and he clutched the hammer tightly in his hand and gasped.
"Calm down, calm down!" the soldier admonished himself, "it's nothing to be afraid of, it's just that the herd of deer is pregnant......
Carefully placing the hammer on the table, the soldier did not intend to put it away, he slowly raised his hand, and his gaze was once again on the distant herd of deer.
But the scene he saw through the telescope made him feel as if his blood was frozen—a vicious chill surged up from his spine and hit the Heavenly Spirit Gai!
"Sizzle!!"
With a sharp gasp, the soldier involuntarily clenched the barrel of the mirror in his hand.
What did he see?
He saw it...... The carcass of that pack of wolves hung from the antlers of a pack of small-horned deer!
"One, two, three, four......" The soldier counted the number of small-horned deer he saw in a trembling voice.
Much more!
So much more than the Horned Deer he had just seen!
It's not just a herd of deer, have these guys learned how to work together?
But where did they come from? Why didn't he notice the other deer just now?
Not only did he not find it, but the soldiers thought that even the wolves had not found it, otherwise they would have chosen another method to hunt these small-horned deer.
Soldiers have seen in the savannah that the cunning and cruel wolves will drive away too many prey, because they are no match for the huge prey, and although the prey does not dare to resist, if the prey is in a hurry, the prey may also turn around and bite them.
However, the wolves he saw just now did not react in any other way, that is, the wolves may not have even found any trace of other small-horned deer before they were killed, so where did they come from?
Could it be that these animals have learned to ambush and besiege?
It was already strange enough for a herd of deer to become pregnant in the winter, and with the scene he was seeing now - what was going on with these animals?!
Click!
A small voice sounded in the sentry that had no sound but the wind, and the soldier was startled, turned his head suddenly, and shouted: "Who?!"
The soldier who pushed the door and walked in was startled and froze in place.
He looked at his stunned colleague and was stunned for a moment before he whispered, "What, what's wrong?"
The soldiers who stayed behind at the sentry gasped, and it took a long time before they slowly calmed down.
"No, it's nothing......" he exhaled, pressing his left hand on his beating heart, "scared the hell out of me......"
"What did you call just now?" asked the visiting soldier, confused.
Hearing this question, the soldiers who stayed behind immediately jumped up from their chairs and stammered and hurriedly shouted: "Out, something is wrong!
The visiting soldier's eyes widened and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Deer, Smallhorn Deer! Kill ...... Kill the wolf!"
The visiting soldier blinked, "You, are you sure?"
The soldier who stayed behind nodded firmly, "OK!" (https:)
