Chapter 9: Weapons

  The time when the wolf pack and Lin Bei fought was actually not long, excluding the probing time, the actual attack time did not exceed thirty seconds, but it was extremely fierce.

  Through this battle, Lin Bei thoroughly understood a truth, that is, the battles between animals are all-out, which is different from ordinary people fighting, it's not you die or I die, so Lin Bei must adapt to this point in the future.

  In addition, Lin Bei also recognized his own inadequacies. After adapting to this body, Lin Bei was full of confidence in the future, thinking that he could absolutely roam freely in the forest. However, it seems that this body is indeed powerful, but far from being invincible. The protective power of the scales is not as impenetrable as Lin Bei had imagined, and even wolf teeth can pierce through. So, when encountering bows and arrows or large knives and other cold weapons, this body still appears to be quite fragile. Therefore, he must not be careless.

  In addition, through the wolf pack, Lin Bei saw the role of teamwork. To put it bluntly, if there was only one wolf, it would not pose any threat to Lin Bei at all. However, once the number increased, the power became greater. The reason for the victory earlier was more due to Lin Bei's use of his own wisdom, but this was only twenty or so wolves. What if there were more? For example, if the number reached one hundred? In the face of absolute strength, the role of wisdom becomes negligible. To put it simply, if you can't beat them, then you just can't beat them.

  Through the wolf pack, Lin Bei also thought of humans. Now he was a giant python, and meeting humans would likely end in death or injury. Humans were much stronger than wild beasts, and a few soldiers with cold weapons could probably kill Lin Bei. This was something Lin Bei did not want to see happen. No one wanted to die, and neither did Lin Bei.

  So Lin Bei must increase his strength, whether facing beasts or humans, so the root of the problem is still in increasing strength.

  To be honest, Lin Bei didn't want to isolate himself from the world in the forest. He was still human at heart, so he yearned for communication and connection with others. This meant that Lin Bei had to leave the forest, which was the thought that flashed through his mind when he realized he was now living in ancient times.

  Modern society is too dangerous, with all sorts of technology everywhere, even if Lin Bei hides in the Amazon forest, he'll probably still get caught. But ancient times were different, with low-level technology and cold weapons, even if someone knew about Lin Bei, they wouldn't be able to catch him if he wanted to hide. Lin Bei has this confidence.

  In ancient times, the deep mountains and old forests were absolutely off-limits to humans. Let alone a few hunters, even if several tens of thousands of troops were sent in, it would be the same. Otherwise, the ancient mountain barbarians wouldn't have lived so comfortably. So Lin Bei wasn't too afraid even when interacting with people, first trying to see if he could blend into human society; if not, then going back into the forest was also an option.

  After thinking for a while, Lin Bei examined his injuries and was astonished to find that the original bleeding holes had stopped bleeding. The muscles had contracted, as if slowly crawling, and the wounds were healing at an abnormally fast rate. Even the wolf teeth embedded in the muscle were being squeezed out by the muscle's natural movement. According to Lin Bei's estimate, this injury would heal completely within three days at most, a speed that was simply terrifying.

  "A sturdy physique." Lin Bei sighed again.

  The snake's vitality is the longest, which means that snakes are not easy to die. Now, with its amazing recovery ability, Lin Bei believes that as long as it doesn't kill it once, it will be back to normal in a few days, and this undoubtedly adds another layer of security to Lin Bei's life.

  His stomach growled, reminding Lin Bei that he was hungry and needed to eat. If he didn't, even if the snake wasn't easy to kill, he would still starve to death.

  Lin Bei climbed down the big tree, originally wanting to climb towards the direction of those hunters, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and turned back to the battlefield with the wolf pack.

  Lin Bei killed a total of fifteen wolves, and the scene was extremely bloody due to their violent deaths. What's strange is that there are no living creatures around now, not even birds chirping, and the scene is eerily silent.

  It's not surprising, actually. Lin Bei and the Wild Wolf are in a battle that can be said to be between the two top creatures in the forest. Those animals who think they're inferior will definitely be scared away and flee the battlefield. For a short period of time, this place will become a forbidden zone for animals. Only after some time has passed and the auras of the Wild Wolf and Lin Bei have gradually weakened will other animals dare to come here.

  Fifteen wolf heads had almost all become meat pies, but the wolf skins were still well-preserved. Lin Bei took a rough look and estimated that there were about ten intact wolf skins. He used his tail to roll up a thick rattan beside him, preparing to gather these wolf skins together, when suddenly his body froze.

  "Damn it, how stupid I am?" Lin Bei cursed himself.

  Lin Bei was a human, and the biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use tools. Just now when he wanted to tie up the wolf skin with a rattan strip, this thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he realized that he had really acted stupidly.

  When fighting with the pack of wolves, he actually forgot to use his tools and fought solely on instinctual power. What else could this be? Lin Bei used his tail to knock his head forcefully, feeling somewhat helpless and amused at the same time.

  "If I used a tool just now, then I shouldn't be hurt, right? But what kind of tool should I use?"

  Lin Bei didn't have four limbs, so some tools were definitely unusable, such as bows and arrows. Soon, Lin Bei already had an idea.

  He looked around and Lin Bei saw the target, a small tree about the thickness of an adult man's thigh. The small tree was straight and about 10 meters high. Lin Bei swam over, wrapped himself around the small tree, and then suddenly exerted force. With a cracking sound, the small tree was snapped in two by Lin Bei.

  Then the tree tip was also broken, Lin Bei used his tail to roll up the trunk, and then made a few loud noises on the big tree, shaking off the branches and leaves on the trunk, finally forming a long stick of more than five meters.

  This simple wooden stick can't be called beautiful, but Lin Bei was very satisfied. He wrapped the stick with his tail and swung it in the air a few times, feeling quite light, although he didn't dare say it was like swinging a straw, but swinging for an hour or two Lin Bei thought it would still be fine.

  Lin Beigong played for a while, and the effect was quite obvious.

  The wooden stick was like an extension of Lin Bei's body, swinging it at high speed could produce a sonic boom, and the shrubs and wild vines would break as soon as they touched it. The tree stick was very long, equivalent to Lin Bei's attack distance increased by several meters. Lin Bei believed that even if the opponent was a giant bear, as long as he was hit by the stick, he would definitely end up with a brain explosion. If he were to fight the pack of wild wolves from earlier again, Lin Bei probably wouldn't even get hurt.

  Lin Bei was overjoyed to have made his first weapon, and the forest would never be short of wood. If Lin Bei's body could grow a bit more, he could use even longer tree branches. With a weapon in hand, his strength increased greatly, but more importantly, Lin Bei had found his direction for the future.

  Xing Gaocai was so excited that he almost forgot his hunger, found a few thick rattan sticks, tied the wolf's bones and skin together with the rattan, and then tied a rattan knot. After tying the tree stick through the rattan knot, he rolled up the wooden stick and rushed towards the direction of those hunters.

  Along the trail left by the hunters, Lin Bei hurried back to this side of the small river. The hunters were heading upstream towards the small river, and Lin Bei followed them for a while before feeling the presence of humans from afar - it was those hunters from earlier.

  A small stream flows through the gaps between some rocks, in front of which is a large mountain wall tens of meters high. On top of the mountain wall, an old wooden shed was built, similar to a watchtower. The hunters were on it, one of whom lay in the grass outside the shed, vigilantly watching the surroundings, apparently with division of labor. And that big cow was placed behind them by the hunters, and should be eating grass now.

  The wooden shed was in a commanding position, making it easy to see the surrounding environment clearly. Lin Bei walked along the road without hiding, so the male hunter had already seen Lin Bei. At first, he rubbed his eyes incredulously, and then his face changed drastically.

  Lin Bei's current image is indeed quite eerie, not to mention his physique, but also using a thick and large tree stick to hold up a big bundle of wolf skin, this kind of action similar to humans would make any hunter boy shocked if he wasn't surprised.

  Then, the male hunter saw Lin Beifang stop and use a tree branch to lift up the wolf skin and wave it a few times, as if beckoning him over. This guy was already somewhat stunned.
