Red kangaroos, as the largest marsupials, are covered with solid muscles.
Moreover, these big guys are very good at jumping, and each leap can exceed a ter when moving slowly.
But once they are frightened, these big guys run for their lives.
Each of their jumps can reach over 9 ters!
Their short-term escaping speed can reach 50-64 kiloters per hour!
The average speed of humans is only about ten kiloters per hour.
Even if Bolt was brought in, his maximum instantaneous speed is only 44.7 kiloters per hour.
Can’t even reach the baseline for red kangaroos.
Therefore, chasing red kangaroos for hunting is impossible.
Everyone sat around the camp, contemplating for a long ti.
Finally, Chen Wen said, "Sitting around won’t solve anything. I’ll go try to see at what distance they notice us and react."
No one objected.
Even Dennis didn’t know how far the kangaroos’ alert distance was.
With this thought, Chen Wen picked up the long spear and walked slowly towards the forest where the kangaroos were.
Four hundred ters, three hundred ters, two hundred ters...
Soon, when he was about a hundred ters from the group of kangaroos.
A red kangaroo squatting around the forest spotted Chen Wen.
It raised its head to observe this strange animal, eyes flashing with vigilance.
This red kangaroo imdiately made a cough-like sound, not very loud, but it reached Chen Wen.
After hearing this sound, he imdiately stopped in his tracks.
The coughing sound is a signal kangaroos give to alert the group when scared.
It also serves as a warning to outsiders.
If you continue to approach after hearing this sound, red kangaroos will imdiately thump the ground with their hind feet, creating a loud noise.
The entire group will then flee and won’t stop until they’re several kiloters away.
Chen Wen knew this well and imdiately retreated slowly, not alarming the group of red kangaroos.
And the sentry red kangaroo, seeing Chen Wen retreat, didn’t continue to raise the alarm.
Watching Chen Wen departure thoroughly, it continued to crouch on the ground as a lookout.
...
"How’s it?"
Seeing Chen Wen return, Hua Yun eagerly asked.
Chen Wen shook his head slightly: "Without any cover, at about a little over a hundred ters, red kangaroos can spot us."
Hearing this news, everyone’s expressions froze.
A little over a hundred ters!
At this distance, unless with a hunting rifle, no other weapons can reach the red kangaroos, and even if they could, neither power nor accuracy would suffice!
Chen Wen was pondering whether to try using the long spear.
With the [Giant Strength] effect, he should be able to hit the group of red kangaroos from about a hundred ters away with the long spear.
But the hit rate was all up to luck.
Shaking his head, Chen Wen didn’t ntion this thought.
It wasn’t stable enough.
Everyone remained silent, contemplating other hunting thods.
After a while.
Chen Wen said, "I thought of two thods; see if they work."
"The first thod is ambush hunting: have soone lay in ambush and others try to drive the group of red kangaroos into the ambush range, then hunt them. What do you think?"
This thod...
Hua Yun and Adam felt it was worth a try.
But Dennis shook his head: "I think we should hear the second one; driving them is risky. Although red kangaroos are timid, if cornered from both sides, they can attack."
Hua Yun and Adam shivered at the thought of the hefty muscles of the red kangaroos.
Unlike the close combat-skilled Chen Wen, they were better at long-range attacks.
Getting close to those strong red kangaroos, they risked getting injured.
Chen Wen also considered the nine-ter leap ability of red kangaroos.
At this speed, even he might not accurately predict and hit the red kangaroo.
Chen Wen nodded and said, "The second thod is that I’ll try it out myself."
When everyone heard Chen Wen wanted to try himself, they got interested.
"This thod is for to hide among a cal group, driving them closer. Red kangaroos are wary of us but much less so of cals, making it easier to get closer."
Chen Wen said, "Once within fifty ters, I can try to hunt them."
Fifty ters, for Chen Wen, the chance of hitting a red kangaroo exceeded fifty percent.
This probability was worth a try!
"This thod seems viable, but why can only you try it?"
Dennis was puzzled.
He didn’t distrust Chen Wen, just curious.
Chen Wen explained, "One thing is that you may not be able to drive the cal group and get them to behave; another is you can’t mask your scent. I have a local thod I can only use myself."
Now no one had any other objections.
And as Chen Wen said, he was the only one who could drive the cal herd.
At this ti, Hua Yun ntioned, "Actually, I feel neither plan conflicts; whether or not Chen Wen manages to hunt the red kangaroo, we can still lay in ambush. Once the kangaroo herd is startled, they’ll scatter, and with so luck, we can try hunting the incoming ones."
Chen Wen didn’t object: "But you guys should be careful, best in pairs, to avoid being unable to counterattack when red kangaroos get close."
Hua Yun and Adam weren’t skilled in close combat but Fred was a real close combat expert.
Having seen Fred in action before, he used techniques similar to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
And although Dennis wasn’t good at fighting, a strong adult man with a machete surely wouldn’t be weaker than a red kangaroo.
They discussed and decided Hua Yun and Fred would team up to guard the northeast direction of the red kangaroo herd, while Adam and Dennis would guard the southeast direction.
Chen Wen would launch an attack from the west side.
After finalizing the hunting plan, they imdiately dispersed.
The falcon and buzzard followed each group respectively.
Once in position, Hua Yun and Adam gently patted the raptors on their bodies.
Receiving the signal, they imdiately flapped their wings and took off.
Returning to Chen Wen’s side, giving him the signal to attack.
Upon receiving the signal, Chen Wen imdiately told the cal king: "Take your harem and let’s head over to that grove!"
The cal king nodded, happily accepting Chen Wen’s arrangent.
After all, he was very pleased to have moved from the barren desert to this lush area.
Thus, the cal king made a series of peculiar sounds.
It summoned its harem and offspring, gathering them into a group, and leisurely heading towards the forest where the red kangaroo herd was located.
And Chen Wen silently followed within the cal group.
He hid behind the cal he tad, walking leisurely.
anwhile, he activated the [Gua Fragrance] to mask his scent.
