Chapter 436 First Encounter with a Ferocious Beast
The hunter simply bent down and then, holding the torch, took the lead and crawled in.
"Big brother, what, what should we do?"
Hei Lang hesitated somewhat.
They had already said that there were definitely prey inside, but still, they resolutely crawled in.
Wouldn't this be equivalent to them willingly walking to their deaths?
"Didn't you hear what he said just now? If we stay outside, we're just as dead. It's better to go in and come up with a strategy. Maybe those beasts won't even come near us?"
"It seems we have no other choice."
Without hesitation, Hei Lang then dragged his own pack and directly squeezed into the cave entrance.
In an instant, all four of them had entered.
In front of him, he saw a very large cavern, and at that moment, he could clearly hear what sounded like the dripping of water.
"There's a water source here, and I believe if we keep going upwards, there will be an underground river. If we follow this direction, we might even find another exit."
The hunters quickly made an accurate assessment of the environment.
"You haven't been inside this cave before, have you?"
"I used to take the detour path around the other side and never came this way, so I'm not very familiar with this cave, but I estimate that it must be at least 200 to even 300 square meters in size."
"Hmm, I can feel it, even when we speak, the sound seems hollow, and there's even some echo."
"We'll now follow the direction of the water flow and go that way."
While talking, the hunter also pricked up his ears, listening attentively here.
"Oh, it's over here."
He quickly determined the direction.
Then the group quickly got to their feet and walked towards that place.
With a torch held in front, he could basically illuminate their surrounding environment.
He saw the area around was all bare rock, including the ground they were stepping on, which was also all stone.
After walking forward for a distance, suddenly, he saw several lights flickering straight ahead.
"What is that?"
"I've already said that there are fierce beasts inside, and if I'm not wrong, that should be their eyes."
"What? Eyes?"
Lin Yi's eyes widened in surprise.
He felt that those eyes were at least the size of apples.
Typically, beasts don't have such large eyes.
This gives an idea of just how massive the creature must be.
Afterward, the group slowly came to a halt, leaning their bodies against a slab of stone.
Though there were no shelters here, leaning against the stone felt as comforting as swallowing a sedative pill.
"What do we do now?"
"Don't you have some tools with you?"
"The environment nearby is complex, and the distance is considerable. Besides, there's a warm air flow here, so I can't shoot directly."
Although Lin Yi didn't quite understand what he meant, he assumed it was feasible since it was being suggested.
"Hei Lang, what tools do you have?"
"Oh, I have this."
While talking, Hei Lang pulled something out of his bag that resembled a bow and arrow.
He felt that the arrowhead was extremely sharp, and if it really could penetrate him, it might be effective.
"Big brother, this one is fitted with an infrared night vision device. We just need to turn it on, and we can basically lock onto their exact position."
"Good, if that's the case, it seems this is the only thing we can use. By the way, does the arrowhead contain a tranquilizer?"
"Don't worry, each one is armed with a tranquilizer, and even if they don't kill them, they'll drop right here."
This had been specifically instructed to him by Lin Yi previously.
Because only by doing so would they feel doubly assured and at ease.
"You guys, what is this? And is this a bow and arrow? If it really is, I'm afraid it will have no effect whatsoever."
The hunter beside them was obviously unfamiliar with this device. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
He had seen basic bows and arrows before, but this seemed somewhat different.
Uncertain of what it was, he could only try to describe it that way.
"Oh, this is nothing like the bow and arrow you're thinking of. Its penetration is extremely strong. If the penetration of an old-fashioned bow and arrow could reach 100 jin, then this one can exceed 1000 jin."
"What? One thousand jin? Such enormous power?"
He was surprised to learn that such powerful devices existed outside.
Though it couldn't rival his bullets, such penetration power was already incredibly strong.
"Because it's an electronic launching device, it's nothing like the bow and arrows pulled by hand, so, rest assured about this one."
"I was saying, the hides of these beasts are extremely thick, and under normal circumstances, regular arrows wouldn't even scratch them."
"Yes, I understand that, which is why this bow and arrow is specially customized. Don't worry, there will be no problems."
"But from such a distance?"
Now, that was what he was grappling with.
The surrounding environment was so dim, he could only use the brightness of the beast's eyes to determine its rough direction.
Yet, in that distance, what unpredictable factors could occur was completely unknown.
"Hmm, didn't you see that there is a display screen on it?"
Lin Yi held the bow and arrow and then gestured in front of him.
"Hmm, I saw it, but what does it mean?"
"Come, let me turn it on for you, and you will see what it means."
After speaking, Lin Yi simply pressed a switch on it, and quickly, the pitch-black screen began showing a black and white image.
Especially, he could clearly see two very large beasts directly in front of him.
He could make out their general outlines, but the hunter found it strange that there were some red things on the screen that seemed to be pulsating.
"What, what is that?"
