The sky was getting dark, and although they had not slept in the wild for a long time since the arrival of the leader, the experience in this area had long been integrated into their bones.

Before it got dark, they had found a fairly suitable place to stay nearby.

After a simple dinner and making arrangements for the night watch, I went to bed early to recharge for the next day's action.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Ye Jinghong and the others were already ready to go.

In this era, if you want to increase your chances of catching prey, you have to set out before dawn, so that you are more likely to encounter animals that come out to look for food in the early morning.

Of course, there are also nocturnal animals that come out to look for food at night.

But the almost invisible environment at night is really too dangerous for humans in this era.

As for holding up a torch for lighting...

Of course they can do this, but the cost is that the animals will run away before you find them, making your entire night's action a pure waste of time.

The sky was gray in the early morning, which was the best time for them.

Breathing the air with the heavy scent of morning dew, Ye Jinghong asked each team to disperse and start taking action, and he himself led a team to carefully explore the surroundings.

After walking for a while, Ye Jinghong, who seemed to have discovered something, took two steps forward and then squatted down.

A series of animal tracks were found on the dirt ahead.

Ye Jinghong stretched out his fingers and touched the soil.

"The footprints are about two fingers wide. They shouldn't be of any large animals. The footprints are still very new. They probably haven't traveled far yet."

There was no need for Ye Jinghong to say anything next. The team members behind him had already tacitly lowered their bodies and stepped closer to reduce the chance of disturbing the target.

Following the footsteps, they moved forward carefully.

In the process, they gradually discovered that the footprints around them became more numerous and chaotic.

The width of these footprints ranges from three to two fingers, which shows that they are not from the same animal.

This situation made Ye Jinghong's heart beat faster.

Because this often means that there is a large group of animals living nearby.

With excitement, Ye Jinghong and the others continued to move forward, pushing aside the grass that almost reached their chests. Soon, a group of animals came into view.

These animals are almost half a person tall, 160 centimeters long, and covered in brown fur with some black stripes.

The most conspicuous feature among them is undoubtedly the pair of extremely conspicuous long horns on their heads, which makes it impossible not to notice.

If Zhou Xu were here at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize these animals, which are very similar to the antelopes in his original world.

These animals are in groups, and at a glance, there are twenty or thirty of them, and they are currently grazing in various directions.

Although Ye Jinghong had never seen this kind of animal before, he still knew the survival common sense of animals that eat grass.

But this time, he had no intention of attacking these herbivores.

They are an exploration team, not a hunting team. Their mission is to discover these things, not to carry out hunting operations.

This area is most likely the living area of ​​the group of herbivores in front of us.

If he takes action rashly, he will 100% scare these herbivores.

Just like the leader of the Black Moon tribe originally tried to capture the animals that went to the lake to drink water, over time, the nearby animals realized that there was danger here and no longer easily approached the lake.

If their actions keep this group of herbivores away from the area, they will lose more than they gain.

In this way, rather than acting without permission, the safest option right now is to hide in the dark and observe, and then bring the news back to the tribe and let the leader make arrangements.

Of course, before that, what he has to do now is to continue observing to obtain more information.

During this period, with his excellent eyesight, Ye Jinghong keenly discovered that there was a herbivore that was different from the others that were grazing around. It put its head into a bush, as if it was eating something.

This move undoubtedly attracted Ye Jinghong's attention.

Before setting off this time, their leader also mentioned that they should pay more attention to the plants along the way to see if they could find anything.

Just when Ye Jinghong was thinking this, in the grass in the distance, a burly beast with ferocious teeth suddenly rushed out and pounced on the herbivore closest to it at the time!

The opponent's explosive power was so fierce that the herbivore didn't even have time to react before being bitten by it.

The huge and ferocious sharp teeth easily broke through the flesh and bit through the opponent's fragile neck. Blood continued to flow down the sharp teeth, dyeing the beast's jaw and neck hair red.

The terrifying and fatal scene caused the entire animal group in front of them to start running away in panic, and in the blink of an eye they were completely gone.

The beast that had successfully caught the food obviously had no interest in chasing it. It bit the prey's body and turned away.

During this process, Ye Jinghong and others, who had witnessed the entire process, held their breath the entire time, lying in the grass and not daring to move, for fear that the beast would discover their presence.

In terms of speed, their explosive power is obviously no match for that group of four-legged herbivores. Once they are targeted by that beast, they will probably be dead.

Maintaining this state and hiding for a while, they finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the beast was completely gone.

Only then did Ye Jinghong and the others realize that their entire bodies were drenched in cold sweat.

"Minister, let's leave quickly. Who knows if there are still monsters like that around here?"

Obviously, the terrifying posture of the beast had made his subordinates want to retreat.

But Ye Jinghong quickly calmed down after taking a long breath.

"Wait a minute, I have to confirm something."

While speaking, Ye Jinghong took another look at the direction the beast had left, and then quickly approached the bush with light hands and feet.

After walking in, he quickly discovered that there were scarlet fruits growing in the bush. Each fruit was about the size of a finger, and there were a lot of them.

Needless to say, the herbivores at that time were eating this fruit.

Animals living nearby will eat the food, so there is a high probability that there will be no problem. This is also their common sense of survival.

Ye Jinghong, who confirmed this, looked around again.

There is no doubt that this is a new discovery.

"Quickly, go find if there is anything like this nearby. Let's dig it back up!"
