What happened to me? Why did my thoughts become so clear? I kept repeating Bing's words "I need you" in my mind. It was like a source of strength for me, allowing me to deal with all the things I was facing with an extremely excited brain. What was going on? Although I didn't know why, I didn't hate this feeling. As long as... we could successfully complete the training this time.

——Angel of Annihilation Ling
I slept peacefully in the den without being disturbed by any creatures. Because before resting, Ling sprinkled a piece of raw meat with blood and hung it on a tree a few hundred meters away. This was a very useful bait for us. Thanks to it, we were not disturbed by wild animals along the way. In the morning, the children ate the remaining meat in the den and kicked down the obstacle at the entrance of the cave. Taiyi and Mary lifted me up again. Although I could move without any problem, since they were willing to lift me, I just continued to lie down.

"Bing, if it were you, what would you do in the morning?" Ling walked up to me and asked.

"Hmm?" I was stunned by Ling's question. I thought about it and said, "Drink water, eat, and go to the toilet."

"So, this is also the behavior of animals, right?"

"..."

Seeing my helpless expression, Ling smiled softly. Then she led Taiyi and Mary to the high ground not far away. After arriving at the foot of the high ground, she asked the children to be on guard around. She flexibly climbed to the highest point and looked around. Lying on the stretcher, I watched Ling's vigorous steps climb to the high ground, while watching the surroundings to see if there were any snakes. It can be said that her performance this time was very good.

Soon Ling came down from the high ground and issued the next order.

"I saw a herd of bison moving not far away. If they are going to drink water in the morning, I think if we follow them, we can find green land and water."

"What's the target?" Taiyi asked.

"Let's find some water first." Ling said decisively. "As long as we have supplies, we can do more. And where the bison drink water there will naturally be other creatures. We might even encounter a lion. We can still do it."

"But Brother Bing's injury..." Mary looked back at me on the stretcher.

"Cover it with dead grass and animal feces." Ling's lips curled up in a playful arc.

"Hey, you don't have to torture me like this, do you?" I said dumbly. "I said I didn't give you any hints this time, but I am also a patient after all, how can I..."

"If you are a patient, you should act like a patient." Ling walked over to me, grabbed a bunch of green grass from the ground, and smeared it on my coat. "You are a patient now, you should rest, don't worry about anything else."

"At least provide a sanitary environment or something." I said with a wry smile.

"Or do you have a better idea?" Ling smiled. "For example, give us some tools to cover up the smell?"

"Hey girl, you have already planned this, right?" I tried to pinch Ling's cheek, but she dodged me. "Okay, okay, let's apply it. It's not the first time." I said carelessly. Then I watched Ling and the others put me on the ground, and then smeared grass leaves all over my coat. As they walked, they searched for herbivorous animal feces, and stuck them on my coat after finding them. Because of the coat, I was not afraid of the wound getting infected, but the sour smell really gave me a headache. Although there were many sprays in my necklace that could cover up my own smell, since it was Ling and the others' training, I didn't plan to use them. I just had to endure it.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

Ling's idea was correct. We followed the herd of bison and soon found a water source. We did not encounter any danger during the process. It can be said that it was smooth sailing. After finding the water source, Ling asked all of us to bend down, while she closely observed the surrounding situation.

This is a very correct move, because not only are we interested in the water source, other creatures will naturally be greedy for this contested land. If carnivores appear, they may not even let go of the herd of bison.

We lay in the grass for about half an hour, and finally, the kings of the grassland began to show their majesty. A male lion and several lionesses began to spread their encirclement. We were in a downwind position, so unless they attacked from behind us, the lions would not find us. Watching these grassland kings chasing the bison, the children smiled happily, which might mean that they would have a considerable income from food.

The lion group was very organized, and it was not the first or second time that they had done this kind of thing. Several lionesses easily occupied the encirclement and gradually shrank it. The buffalo group did not notice it at first, and licked the water in the pond with their rough tongues. They did not notice any danger approaching, but soon, the buffaloes at the outermost edge began to paw and stir, and the lions saw the opportunity and rushed up. As a result, the buffalo at the innermost edge could not run fast at all, and was soon pounced on the ground by the leaping lions. The terrible bite force easily tore the throat of a buffalo, and bit it tightly, shaking it from time to time. In a few minutes, the buffalo fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss. The other buffaloes did not dare to approach the water again, but just looked at the pool and the bodies of their companions from a distance, let out a series of wails, and fled.

"The lion is really powerful. It only took it a short time to destroy a bison." Ling clicked her tongue.

"After all, they are the kings of the grasslands, the creatures at the top of the food chain." I continued. "It's not an exaggeration to say that they can kill a person with one claw, and their strength is even more terrifying. If it was a lion instead of a hyena that bit Ling last time, Ling's leg could have been amputated directly."

"Hmph." Ling snorted in dissatisfaction. "Sooner or later, I will fight them one-on-one and win for you to see!"

"If you have enough weapons and equipment, I won't worry at all. But if you want to fight them with bare hands, forget it." I smiled, "Even I don't have that ability."

"What if we only kill one?"

"One?" I thought. "Well... if I were given two daggers, it shouldn't be a difficult task. Of course, I can't do it now. I have to wait until I'm fifteen or sixteen years old. It's too early now. My body functions haven't been fully opened yet."

"Really?" Ling put her finger to her lips and thought. "Then, I will also fight one alone at that age. As a test for my graduation."

"Okay~ This assessment is enough." I reached out and touched his head.

"Brother Bing, these lions won't just lie down by the pond to rest after eating, right?" Taiyi said, looking at the lions still eating in the distance.

"It's very likely. But they will leave in two hours at most." I explained. "Because of the noise, the scavengers will come out immediately. For example, vultures and hyenas."

"Hyena..." Ling's eyes were filled with anger. "Humph, if I run into them again, I'll kill one by one!"

"Haha, yes, then we'll wait here, they'll be here soon." I chuckled. "The moist smell mixed with blood is their favorite smell." Sure enough, within an hour, a group of khaki canine creatures began to approach the pool and began to circle around the lions.

"Are they planning to attack the lion?" Taiyi was shocked. "Are they starving?"

"No, they are just waiting for the lions to finish eating so that they can eat the buffalo's internal organs." I explained. "And the lions don't like dealing with hyenas. Anyway, they also know that these hyenas don't have the courage to snatch food from their mouths."

"Hmm..." Ling didn't say anything, but just looked quietly at the four or five lions and seven or eight hyenas below with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Want revenge?" I asked, looking at Ling.

"Yeah." Ling turned around and smiled at me. "I suddenly thought of something very interesting."

"Oh?" I was slightly surprised. "Girl, why do I feel that your smile and tone are so similar to mine now?"

"Hehe, you taught me that." Ling giggled. "Taiyi, Mary, give me your water bottles, and then you take the ice and retreat to... under that tree over there." Ling looked around and finally fixed her sight on a big tree about 300 meters away from us. "Then you just wait there for me. I'll be back in a while."

"Girl, the lions and hyenas are all down there. Are you sure we should go get water now?" I was stunned as I looked at Ling who was ready to go.

"Hehe, just watch!" Ling didn't give me a chance to speak and directly signaled two people to carry me away.

"This girl..." When she was carried away, I thought carefully about why Ling was willing to take such a risk. After thinking it over, I focused my thoughts on the red liquid in the three bottles.

"Mary, what did you do after you killed the antelope yesterday?"

"Eh?" Mary was stunned by my question. "No, we ran away after dismembering it."

"Didn't you get anything else from the antelope? Like... the skin?"

"No," Mary recalled. "But Ling seemed to have taken the stomach of the antelope. She said she suddenly thought of something and cut it off intact."

"No wonder." I thought thoughtfully. "Taiyi, Mary, hurry up, let's get to that tree."

"Yes."

"Yes." Hearing this, the two quickened their pace. In about ten minutes, we were under the tree. After I was put on the ground, I ordered Taiyi to squat down, and used his shoulder to directly set up the sniper rifle. I aimed at Ling's position. I guessed Ling's action and I had to monitor her every move, because this was a very risky behavior. If she failed, Ling might have to face the pursuit of lions or hyenas. Hyenas are not a big deal, but if she is discovered by lions, she will not be able to return alive.

"Mary, climb the tree. Aim at the lion's head. Shoot when I say so. Don't do anything until I say so." I pulled out a sniper rifle from my necklace and handed it to Mary. The children were already used to me pulling out weapons at any time. Mary climbed up the tree without saying a word and found a comfortable position to set up her gun.

"Taichi, be alert all around. If you see anything, just speak up. But don't move. I don't want to accidentally hit Ling."

"Yes." Taiyi picked up the dagger and began to guard the surroundings, but his shoulders were as still as a rock. Very stable.

"This girl is so brave." I smacked my lips. Then I focused my attention and soon found Ling who was almost integrated with nature in the downwind.

The camouflage uniform and the straw hat she knitted helped Ling hide herself well. In addition, she was at a disadvantage, so the creatures on the other side of the pool did not notice her presence. In this way, Ling crawled to the other side of the pool little by little. She looked across the ten-meter-wide pool to the other side, while also being cautious about the movements around her.

About fifteen minutes later, the lions had basically finished eating, with only the last lion still gnawing on the dead buffalo carcass. The hyenas also began to slowly move forward and began to devour the scattered internal organs.

The well-fed lions rested under the trees, and the hyenas approached their prey cautiously. As long as the prey did not actively attack the lions, the well-fed lions were unwilling to pay too much attention to them. After all, the food types were different, and the hyenas preferred to eat the internal organs, and then the meat.

Just like a buffet, the lions finished their breakfast and the hyenas came up to clean up the remaining food. Everything was so harmonious. Of course, if Ling was not here.

Yes, because of Ling's appearance, all the balance was broken. At the other end of the pool, Ling lay in the grass without moving, only her hands were constantly moving. From time to time, she would look around. Through the scope, I could clearly see Ling's movements. She unscrewed three bottles containing half a bottle of antelope blood, and at the same time took out the complete stomach bag she cut off from the antelope yesterday. One end was tied with the newly woven straw rope, and the other end was poured into the three small bottles of blood. Finally, the other end was tied tightly, turning it into a blood bag. After that, the little girl slowly stood up and, without disturbing any creatures, made a throwing posture.

The pool was about ten meters away, and the lion eating was only five or six meters away from the pool. Throwing a sleeping bag at a distance of fifteen or sixteen meters would be no problem for an ordinary person. So. With Ling's chuckle, a bag full of blood flew over from the other side of the pool. This also alerted many animals on the other side. The lions even stood up directly. However, only the lion that was still eating did not raise its head.

Bang!
The blood bag fell to the ground, and the huge squeezing force caused the straw ropes tied at both ends to burst. The blood inside splattered. Ling had to say that she had a good control of the throwing force. The blood bag happened to fall on the lion that was eating. The antelope's blood instantly splattered all over it. This action also alarmed the hyenas and the lions resting nearby.

Roar!!! The lioness who was eating jumped up and quickly jumped away from the food in front of her. The stomach full of blood also fell to the ground. However, the blood inside was soaked all over her head.

The lion didn't know where the blood bag came from. But this behavior definitely angered it. And who frightened it? Undoubtedly, the lioness locked her killing intent on the hyena that had just retreated a few steps in fear. The hyenas on the other side suddenly smelled the blood of the antelope, and in an instant, their eyes turned red. Eight hyenas surrounded them in an instant.

So... a fierce battle broke out.
