Chapter 71: Survival of the Fittest, Capturing the Male Rock Wildebeest
Before the operation to capture the first-level male rock hornbill began, Chen Shanshan, under the leadership of Lin Feng, put on level 10 light armor and met with Duncan's team.

Duncan's team was shocked by the seventh person who had been hiding in the tram and had never shown up.

Even Lisa, who had red eyes and looked depressed, showed a look of surprise when she saw Chen Shanshan.

Then he quickly realized that Liu Qian, who had always been following Lin Feng, was not the second in command of their team.

The female evolver in front of him, wearing armor and holding a silver spear, is Lin Feng's hidden trump card.

"The first-level female rockhorn beetle we killed earlier has actually evolved to level eleven. Luckily, we were able to extract two evolutionary agents."

Lin Feng explained and looked at Old Duncan:
"Now that there are three Evolvers in total, our chances of capturing the male first-level rockhorn horse alive are even greater. Let's make a quick decision."

Old Duncan looked at the fully armed Chen Shanshan and nodded solemnly.

It was obvious that the Lin Feng team in front of them, like them, came prepared.

The armor suitable for the evolvers has been prepared in advance, so that they can kill the rockhorn beetle, achieve evolution, and quickly form combat effectiveness.

The evolver wearing armor can easily defeat the entire Duncan team.

No wonder Lin Feng was so outspoken and kept probing people.

With two evolvers and a set of armor, the strength comparison between the two sides has been reversed.

Fortunately, there is still a group of rock wildebeests in the rift valley. Compared with a fight with Duncan's team, hunting rock wildebeests is obviously less risky and more profitable.

"Okay, the team members we left behind have already selected the target through observation."

As he spoke, Old Duncan led Lin Feng and the other two to the edge of the hillside of the rift valley.

There is a drop of three to four hundred meters down, and a steep slope of more than seven hundred meters. The steepest part of the slope is sixty to seventy degrees, like a cliff.

Trams definitely can’t go downhill, only mountain bikes can be ridden downhill flexibly.

Those wandering single male wildebeests gather at the edge of the rift valley, at the bottom of the slope.

They will first fight with each other to assess their own strength and hone their fighting skills. Once the strongest ones emerge, they will confidently walk into the rift valley and engage in a fierce and bloody duel with the veteran male rock wildebeests that own their own tribes.

For wild animals, the fight for mating rights has always been a matter of importance second only to life and death.

Even under the stimulation of hormones in the body and the manipulation of genetic inheritance, they may lose their minds, be covered in scars, and fight to the death.

So sometimes, as long as the predator is brave enough and wanders into the edge of the cave in the rift when the forbidden area of ​​​​the scorching sun is about to be covered, it can pick up some dead remains.

If the original pack of wasteland wolves had not been injured in the ambush on Li Hu's team, they would have followed the herd of rock wildebeests and come to this rift valley.

Relying on this feast of life that is about to end, they give birth to offspring, reproduce, and follow the migrating herds all the way, growing strong and healthy.

Now that there is no threat from predators, the migration speed of the rock wildebeest herds has gradually slowed down.

What followed was a more crowded rift valley and more frequent fights between males.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for capture missions.

The advantage is that it is easier to lock on to a living target. If you observe for a while, you can see several exhausted male rock wildebeests lying on the edge of the rift, panting.

The downside is that the bottom of the slope, where there were originally few horses, is now crowded with rock wildebeests.

It's like the subway or tram during rush hour, with people so crowded that there's no way to get through.

There were even quite a few small, newly evolved level 10 male rockhorn horses that squeezed into the herd and secretly rode on the female horses while the herd leader was not paying attention.

Comparable to Fast and Furious.

Many thieves were caught by the tribe leader and were directly hit head-on, making the scene extremely tragic.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng's mouth twitched.

This kind of eunuch male rockhorn is considered useless and is worth less than a female horse.

Old Duncan's target was an alliance of five male rock wildebeests.

They occupy the base of the slopes on the northeastern side of the rift valley.

Not far from the two teams' camps.

Two of them are very powerful and have evolved to level thirteen. They are the best among the early first-level ones and are the decisive ones in the northeast area.

These five rock wildebeests, who look similar, were expelled from the same tribe, grew up together, and formed an alliance.

This is very common among wandering male rock wildebeests. The opponents they face are often the herd leaders who are in the middle stage of the first level.

Going it alone will definitely put you at a disadvantage.

So they will unite to deal with those old leaders who are weak and incompetent due to old age.

And after gaining power, this relationship will continue stably.

The main difference is the size of the rock wildebeest after evolution.

Generally, a male rockhorn beetle in the middle stage of the first stage has reached a size of seven or eight meters, and it is difficult for it to mate with a female in the late stage of enhancement that has not evolved. These members will be handed over to the younger brothers who are still in the early stage of the first stage.

Therefore, for the leader of the horse herd, the only ones that are truly important are the first-level females, and the other members will not be affected even if their cubs are lost.

When Lin Feng killed a first-level female rockhorn horse before, he angered the male leader of the herd, who turned around and fought back.

What everyone has to face now is a group of young and energetic male rock wildebeests.

In terms of threat level, it is no less than the leader of the horse herd.

"They come from the same tribe, and they were able to produce five first-level males. This means their father is at least a leader-level rockhorn horse, which means he is in the late first level."

"There's no problem with the bloodline potential."

"Full of confidence, they will immediately challenge the leader of the herd, but the first attack usually doesn't go smoothly..."

"A young male rock wildebeest must fail at least a dozen times before gaining the experience to win."

"What we have to do is wait until they are discouraged and frustrated, then we can grope over and capture the weakest one among them."

Lisa, who had recovered, spoke slowly.

Under the careful guidance of old Duncan over the years, her familiarity with the wild wildebeest herds is no less than that of the Li family in Nongzhuang Village.

Lisa handed the braided rope, which was twice as thick, to Old Duncan and continued seriously:
"I want to participate in this operation as well."

Old Duncan stared at her for a moment and nodded:
"Let's go, we need to hide in advance."

"This is the leeward slope, and the wildebeests won't be able to smell our scent, but we must be careful to conceal our bodies and not make any noise."

"You followed me, treading the same trail."

Lin Feng and the other man nodded.

The number of people in this operation is more important than quantity. The more people there are, the more likely it is to cause stress to the rock wildebeests, resulting in more male rock wildebeests gathering into groups and rushing forward together.

So there are four of us in total.

Old Duncan was responsible for trapping the target, Chen Shanshan stepped forward to suppress it, and Lin Feng assisted the two of them. At the same time, he used his gun to suppress the firepower of the remaining male rock wildebeests that were attacking.

Lisa, who joined temporarily, was responsible for making up for the loss when old Duncan missed and for observing the situation.

The experience of hunting a first-level rockhorn beetle was invaluable. Even with all the dangers, Old Duncan needed Lisa to have this experience; it would undoubtedly benefit her in the future.

As the operation began, the group of four made a big circle, avoiding the gathering place of rock wildebeests, and headed towards the target location cautiously.

The monsoon blowing from the dry seabed, carrying moist air, blows from east to west into the bay canyon, then rushes down into the rift valley, and finally falls on the back slope of the coast on the Linfeng side.

A backflow cyclone was formed, which also created the current wild rift gathering place.

The water vapor in the moist air flow liquefies into water droplets.

Not only do the water pools in the rift caves, but even the bottom of the slopes at the edge of the rift are covered with weeds, full of vitality and green.

A young, single male horse occupies this precious land.

They are in no hurry to leave.

This is where they defy fate and change their destiny.

The countless herds of rock wildebeest that come and go are the goal of their lifelong struggle.

And now, an alliance of five young first-level male rock wildebeests has defeated other of their kind and has become the controller of this small oasis.

Full of confidence, they decided to take an important step in their horse life:
Defeat the leader, start a family and achieve success.

The two strongest leaders set their sights on the leader of a horse herd that had just finished a fight.

Its group has finished drinking water and is preparing to leave.

The leader who walked out of the rift not only had bruises on his face, but also had the rock armor on his chest punctured, and was covered in blood. However, thanks to his powerful self-healing ability, the six or seven centimeter wound had scabbed over and stopped bleeding.

But it had long lost its former charm and was now exhausted and weak.

At the call of the two elder brothers, the Five Horse Alliance immediately approached the target group.

First, he approached the female horses in the team, showing his youth and strength to attract their attention.

The tribe leader, who noticed this, immediately became furious and rushed over panting.

The two sides are about to draw a confrontation line.

But the leader of the tribe was unreasonable and took the initiative to launch a sneak attack, using the power advantage of his own evolutionary level to rush towards one of the strongest challengers.

With a weight of three tons, a speed of over 60 kilometers, and a pair of huge horns, the impact force is no less than that of a small truck.

The target was immediately knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, another young rock wildebeest attacked, but because it was not prepared in advance, the force of the collision only made the leader tremble violently, but did not fall down.

But the leader of the horse herd did not withdraw his hands. Instead, he continued to charge towards his fallen opponent, using his horns to push hard against the challenger's chest and horse head.

It didn't raise its head until it completely fainted, and then faced the next challenger.

At this moment, it was covered in blood.

There was not only his own blood, but also that of his fallen opponents, which looked hideous.

This scene directly frightened the other three companions of level 11 and level 12 who were responsible for supporting the formation.

They were just playing with the mares, but in just five or six seconds, one of the big brothers had fallen to the ground.

Although the other big brother was still in confrontation, he had also lost the confidence to continue the attack.

In the subsequent head-on struggle, he was knocked out by the leader, and was so dizzy that he could hardly get up again.

The leader of the horse herd, his head covered in blood, looked viciously at the remaining three young stallions. The latter were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly and hid aside.

After defeating the challenger, the leader of the horse herd let out a long roar towards the sky, declaring his victory.

Then he led his tribe out of the rift valley.

Soon, the two male rock wildebeests regained consciousness, dragging their wounded bodies back to the edge of the oasis to think about their lives.

While they lick their wounds and rest and recover...

A group of human figures had already quietly groped up, holding the hemp rope snares tightly in their hands, ready to put shackles on one of them.

Old Duncan had a sharp eye and quickly locked onto the more seriously injured rockhorn. Although it was the strongest, it was also the weakest.

His rock armor was shattered by the horse leader's collision, and he has not yet fully regained consciousness.

When he found that the distance to the target was less than 20 meters, old Duncan, who was hiding behind a huge rock, decisively threw the trap in his hand.

Because the target is crawling on the ground and is stationary, there is no difficulty in aiming, and you can basically hit the target every time.

But the real difficulty is how to subdue it.

When a level 13, first-stage male rockhorn beetle struggles, it can unleash a force of more than three tons. Even if the thickened braided rope can withstand it, the steel triple grappling hook will be directly deformed under the drag of this huge force.

Fortunately, the other end of the rope had been wrapped around the huge rock in front of him by Old Duncan in advance. Although it was also locked by three hooks, the pulling force from the rope was mostly offset by the friction when several turns of the rope were tightened.

And then, Chen Shanshan, who had been eager to try, pounced directly.

When the male rock wildebeest stood up and dragged, he took advantage of the target's front legs jumping off the ground and knocked it to the ground with all his strength. Then he used the titanium gun in his hand to press on the rock wildebeest's neck to prevent it from standing up.

Old Duncan followed closely behind, took out a rope and tied up the target's hind legs.

But the rock wildebeest was not so easily captured after struggling violently, and kept kicking back with its legs.

The power of the kick is comparable to a punch weighing several tons.

He was accidentally kicked and was seriously injured and half-crippled.

Lin Feng originally wanted to go forward to help, but the neighing of the male rock wildebeest had already attracted its four brothers.

The other male rock wildebeests nearby also heard the sound and were gathering here.

There was no other way, Lin Feng could only pull out the level 10 grenade launcher to suppress the group of rockhorns that were about to rush over.

At this moment, Lisa stepped forward!

Risking a headshot from a hoof, he helped Old Duncan hold down the horse's twitching back and fix the direction of its hind legs.

Chen Shanshan also swung her fist and hit the hard horse's head, trying to knock it unconscious.

With the help of both sides, the two hind legs were successfully tied up, and the capture operation was almost successful.

With the close cooperation of everyone, Old Duncan successfully tied up two pairs of horse legs within one minute and captured the rockhorn horse alive.

During this period, the grenade launcher in Lin Feng's hand also played a huge role, repelling the rockhorn horse companion that was about to charge towards him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the muzzle and the impact of the explosive bullet made the rock wildebeest instantly give in and run away in shame.

A few minutes later, Lin Feng and the other two lifted the two-ton male rock wildebeest and climbed up the slope.

The first arrest operation ended without any danger.

　I wrote too much and it’s a little late.
