Chapter 06: Hunting
Both falcons and mastiffs are trained and skilled at tracking their prey. It only took a moment for www.biquge.info pen to find the trail of the monkey. Look at the mastiff's tracks, and the direction in which the falcon is circling.
Zhu Changluo said: "Brother Ji is really a clever plan!" This kid really went in the direction of Spirit Stone Peak. β
Ji Qingyun said with a smile: "It's not difficult to guess, this son is nimble, and he has been collecting medicine in the mountains for many years with the old man Sun who collected medicine, and he must know the environment in the mountains well." The Spirit Stone Peak was notoriously steep and difficult to climb, and this time he had to dodge for six hours, of course, the first one would think that he would climb to the Spirit Stone Peak to hide. We're going to be a little quicker, and it's going to be a bit of a hassle if we accidentally let him climb up. β
After speaking, he took a group of family members and followed the mastiff to quickly chase after Lingshi Peak.
When the monkey fled into the mountains, he had already thought about it. Go and climb to the Spirit Stone Peak. Under normal circumstances, experienced herb pickers would not dare to climb it. He didn't believe these rich boys, and he didn't have any climbing equipment with him, so he dared to climb up to Lingshi Peak to arrest him.
At first, the monkey was careful to hide its tracks, trying to avoid being tracked. But later, when he saw the falcon hovering in the sky and the barking of dogs in the distance, he knew that it was useless to hide his tracks, so he ran straight to Lingshi Peak regardless of it.
It's a pity that the monkey is already small and frail, and the body is in pain. His speed was nowhere near as fast as the tracker behind him, and he was being chased closer and closer. When he ran to the foot of Lingshi Peak, the mastiff behind him had also chased after him. The monkey leaped and grabbed a vine to climb to the top. A mastiff dog "Wang" who was chasing in front barked wildly, and pounced on him and bit the monkey's leg. The monkey saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly shrank his leg, and with a "bang", the left trouser leg was bitten off. Xinghao Monkey reacted in time and did not bite the flesh. The monkey did not dare to stop, and climbed the vines and stone crevices, and struggled to climb up.
At this time, Ji and Zhu also arrived with their families. Seeing that the monkey had climbed to a height of more than a zhang, Zhu Changluo was a little anxious, and took out his crossbow to shoot. was stopped by Ji Qingyun and said, "Take your time, it's not fun to shoot to death." β
After speaking, Ji Qingyun asked everyone to put away the crossbow arrows, took out the slingshot, and said, "Use this to fight me." β
With Ji Qingyun's order, the stones fell on the monkey's head like raindrops. The monkey was on top of the cliff at this time, and there was nowhere to hide. I could only grit my teeth and hold on, braving the stones to climb up quickly, until I climbed more than 20 zhang, and then I got out of the range of the slingshot.
At this time, the monkey had been beaten to the point that his head was bleeding and his body was covered with green. He was just about to continue his climb with a sigh of relief when he heard a sharp whistle coming up from below.
The monkey immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately sped up the speed of the climb. After a few moments, I heard the sound of flapping wings overhead. The monkey instinctively leaned to the right and felt a pain in his left shoulder. The falcon that fell from the sky grabbed it fiercely on its left shoulder with its sharp claws, and immediately a piece of flesh was torn off. As soon as the falcon caught it, it flew again. Then the falcon circled in the air and swooped down at the monkey. The monkey jumped to the crevice in the rock on the side, and was able to dodge. The falcon, which had lost its claws, flapped its wings a few times and flew up again, and after a turn in the air, it swooped down again. This time the monkey was unable to dodge, and a deep bloody wound was scratched on his arm.
There were falcons in the way, and the monkeys could no longer climb up. But if you go down now, it's a dead end. Just when the monkey had nothing to do, the falcon rushed down again. The monkey gritted his teeth and made a decision, fighting. Seeing the right time, the monkey kicked his feet on the rock wall, his body rose into the air, and he jumped over in the direction where the falcon was flying, and grabbed the falcon's claws.
Startled by this turn of events, the falcon flapped its wings to get out of it. Where will the monkey let go, at this time the monkey is already in the air. This falcon is also strong, and it is not a problem to mention a hare and a lamb. But now it is replaced by a teenager, it is not the weight that the tower can bear, no matter how hard it flappes its wings, it can't fly again, but it just takes the monkey to the woods not far away, and slides diagonally.
The people below thought that the monkey had no way to retreat, so they just waited for him to come down and tie his hands and capture. I didn't expect him to come with such a hand. Ji Qingyun hurriedly led everyone and chased after the place where the falcon had landed. As the falcon slid to the other half of the mountain, the monkey was gone by the time everyone arrived, and there was only one falcon on the ground with its wings folded, its head tilted to one side, and it seemed that it was no longer alive.
Zhu Changluo was heartbroken when he saw it, this eagle falcon was purchased by him at a great price, and he also asked someone to train it, usually this is the capital he bragged about to others. I didn't think that I would be lost here today, and I was annoyed in my heart as well.
Ji Qingyun showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at the blood stains on the ground, which continued into the depths of the dense forest. Qingsheng said to himself: "Things are getting more and more interesting, don't get caught by me too soon." Then he led the people and chased them into the dense forest, along with the trail of blood.
As soon as he took a few steps, he felt that something was wrong, so he stopped and turned to look at Lingshi Peak.
Zhu Changluo saw that Ji Qingyun was no longer chasing forward, but stopped, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Ji, is there anything wrong?" β
"I remember that there should be a spirit stone on this spirit stone peak, right? Why is there nothing on the peak now? β
"Really! When this Spirit Stone Peak was hunting in the past, I also came a few times, and I really don't know when this stone didn't exist. He turned and asked, "Hey, do you know anything about it?" β
At this time, a family Ding stepped forward and replied: "Hui Gongzi, I heard from the local mountain people that just half a month ago, the spirit stone on the mountain was shattered by a thunderbolt from the sky. β
Ji Qingyun heard this and muttered to himself: "How can this ordinary thunder and lightning shatter stones." Could it be a 'thunderstorm'? Immediately, he thought of the records he had seen in the sect's classics on weekdays. I thought of the monkey's multicolored stone again. He smiled and said, "It seems that I am really blind." β
Zhu Changluo said strangely: "Brother Ji, why do you say this?" β
"It's a long story, let's catch this monkey first, and then we'll talk to you in detail." With that, lead the crowd to chase along the bloodstains.
Speaking of the monkey, he fell from mid-air with the falcon, but the falcon flapped its wings desperately, slowing down the fall a lot. When he fell into the woods, he was blocked by the branches and leaves on the canopy, and when he landed, he was not seriously injured. But the eagle falcon was extremely miserable, a pair of wings were all broken, and it hung weakly. The monkey threw it to the ground with all his might, and then stomped its neck. Then he turned around and ran at full speed towards the depths of the forest.
The monkey grabbed a handful of blades of grass from his side as he ran, but he didn't have time to look closely, so he put it in his mouth and chewed it and applied it to the bleeding wound, so as not to stop the bleeding. Listening to the barking of dogs approaching in the distance, he knew that it would definitely not work to run like this, and sooner or later he would be caught. Now that there were no falcons in the sky, he had tried to leap through the trees a few times to avoid the mastiffs. It's a pity that the mastiff's sense of smell is too sensitive, and it has undergone special training, and the smell of blood on his body is too strong to cover it at all. It didn't have the slightest effect, but because of the injuries on the shoulder and arm, it affected the forward speed and was chased closer. If he reflexively climbs the Spirit Stone Peak again, it will not work, not to mention whether he will run into these people head-on, even if he dodges, in the process of climbing, if he is chased, as long as a few crossbow arrows will kill him, he will not be naΓ―ve to think that this time he will be greeted by stones.
The monkey kept thinking of a way in his head as he fled. If you want to escape, you must first get rid of the three mastiffs, or at least so that they can't track you. But these three mastiffs are extremely ferocious, followed by Ji and Zhu with crossbow arrows and many family members, if they fight, these three mastiffs alone can eat themselves as snacks. Just when the monkey is about to fall into a desperate situation and is at a loss. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "Maybe you can try that." Thinking about this, the monkey no longer hesitated, and after discerning the direction, he quickly fled towards the oblique.
