Login Before Others: Stone Age - Chapter 271
271 Judgement
Before they set off, Lin Fang had already set the rules.
Within half an hour, regardless of whether they could catch any prey or not, they had to return to this temporary base to report their situation.
After hearing Lin Fang’s words, the team member in front of him was slightly taken aback. Then, he said with a lack of confidence, “I’m not too sure about this Captain. They should be back soon.”
“Did something happen that caused the delay?”
!!
Lin Fang furrowed his brows. His intuition told him that something was not right. After looking around, he said, “What about the people who are scouting nearby? Let’s call them back first.”
“It’s been so long, but not a single Hunter has returned. Something’s not right.”
After hearing Lin Fang’s judgment, the team member did not dare to delay any further. After nodding his head repeatedly, he turned around and left the place.
As he watched the figure of this team member leave, Lin Fang retracted his gaze and looked around once more. His brows furrowed even deeper.
He had only brought a total of 50 or so team members with him this time.
In order to hunt and investigate the situation earlier, more than thirty of them were sent out.
There were at most twenty people left in the hall, which made him feel a little uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
However, after 15 minutes, something that made him even more uneasy happened.
That team member still hadn’t returned!
Lin Fang’s brows were tightly knitted together, and he could not help but stand up. His gaze swept around the surroundings uneasily.
The team members who were assigned to Scout the area would not be too far away from their base.
Fifteen minutes had passed, and neither the previous team member nor the scouting team member had returned.
In this situation, even if one used one’s butt to think, one would be able to notice that something was wrong.
The other team members had also clearly noticed that something was amiss. They subconsciously moved closer to Lin Fang’s direction.
“Captain, what’s the situation? Why haven’t those people returned yet?”
Someone couldn’t hold back the uneasiness in his heart and couldn’t help but speak subconsciously.
His words resonated with the others. Some people couldn’t help but nod and echo his words.
When Lin Fang heard the uneasy reaction of his team members, his brows furrowed even more.
Lin Fang’s gaze swept around the vicinity of the pond. Just as he was about to speak, his pupils suddenly contracted.
“Be careful!”
A sharp arrow flew through the air, making a sharp sound that made people’s hearts sink.
Some of them were unable to dodge in time and were pierced through the shoulder by the arrow on the spot, heavily nailed to a towering tree behind them.
With a loud thump, he tried to struggle, but he couldn’t break free from the powerful arrow.
He was like a specimen, firmly nailed to the wall.
It was only then that he felt an intense pain from the arrow that had pierced his shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain.
Uh ah!!!
After the scouts saw this scene, some of them subconsciously wanted to help him and save him from danger.
However, just as he was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by Lin Fang, who had a serious expression on his face.
“Don’t move! Let’s find the enemy’s position.”
This person was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted and also scouted the nearby situation with a serious expression.
However, before they could get into position, the second wind-breaking sound came again.
The second arrow shot through the air, its speed leaving everyone dumbfounded.
There was another loud noise, and someone was immediately nailed to another towering tree.
Then, the third and fourth mist appeared.
In the primeval forest, there was no lack of giant trees that were now used as a judge.
One after another, sharp arrows shot out from the darkness of the forest. They were not visible, but they were extremely real and carried a sharp threat.
As long as he relaxed a little, he would be the next person to be nailed to the giant tree.
This huge, invisible pressure seemed to have turned into a substance at this moment, pressing down on the hearts of every member of the scouting team.
An unspeakable fear began to spread among the crowd.
This kind of fear and pressure made their mentality more and more unbalanced, and they were even more unable to maintain their calm judgment.
Some people even wanted to escape from the field.
“Don’t move! Calm down!”
Lin Fang wanted to stop his team members, who had clearly lost their composure, but under these circumstances, his calmness was useless.
Under the mental breakdown, these team members all lost their usual sense of propriety.
But to be honest, they couldn’t be blamed.
Not only did half of his teammates mysteriously disappear, but he also had to face such a terrifying invisible enemy.
They were in a completely passive position, and they couldn’t find any hope of turning the tables. They couldn’t find any way to calm down and judge the situation.
After they had a mental breakdown, the situation was very one-sided.
One after another, sharp arrows shot out, and one by one, the members of the small team were pierced in the shoulders, waists, and other non-fatal parts, which were enough for them to feel intense pain. They were nailed firmly under the huge trees that reached the sky.
In the end, Lin Fang was the only one left standing in the same spot.
He glanced at his teammates who were nailed to the giant trees around him. They were like sinners who had committed a terrible crime and were nailed to the gallows of the kingdom.
Lin Fang took in a deep breath. His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat that slid down his solemn face. His gaze was sharp and frenzied, like a wild beast that had been forced into a desperate situation in the battle of a trapped beast.
A hoarse and heavy voice came out of his throat. After scanning the darkness of the forest with a ruthless gaze, he finally opened his mouth.
“I’m the only one left now. Can you show yourselves?”
Under the current circumstances, Lin Fang could no longer find any chance to turn the tables.
In the process just now, he could only watch as his team members were taken care of one by one.
As the team leader, he couldn’t even find the other party’s whereabouts.
The difference in strength and experience between the two sides was so great that it made people despair.
Therefore, he could only use this method to make the other party appear from the darkness.
After a short silence in the forest, the sound of footsteps slowly came from the darkness in the forest.
Finally, someone slowly revealed himself from the darkness of the forest.
