Chapter 219: Hunting Pigg
The mountains and forests of Hill have existed since the birth of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and time flies, and I don't know how many years it has existed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The mountains and forests have their own growth and stories, those dense and dense leaves and branches silently narrate, the ancient trees of the forest are rooted here, and the old age dies here.
The pine where Griffith and Didias live is a pine that has grown for an unknown number of years, a large and magnificent canopy, but now with an empty trunk and a nest of squirrels.
Half-seated on the dry dead grass, Her Royal Highness lifted the corner of the tarpaulin and looked out, the hollow of the tree was high, and below the ground, the rain soaked the ground, and the small stream of water carried the small grass stalks and dirt to the lower places.
In this small and warm space, Dias was forced to huddle with the big demon, and her body was wet from the light rain before, and she felt a chill at this time.
In any case, the first rain in the mountains and forests slowly advanced in a faint atmosphere, and it was not until many years later that it was turned out of the bottom of the heart and turned into something more mellow and intriguing.
A nest of little squirrels huddled in a tree hole on a rainy day shivering, this huge tree hole was originally the territory of these little ones - although it was also a dove occupying the magpie's nest, but it made Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, who was usually in a hot mood but after all had some delicate thoughts, feel guilty.
So she asked Griffith to take some puffed snacks out of his backpack, tear open the pocket, and pour them in front of the squirrel.
The light rain began in the evening, and soon after, when Dias curled up his feet and wrapped his knees around them, slept all night against the hollow of the tree. A few little squirrels huddled up beside her, warming each other, and finally one of them overcame her fear and stretched out her little paws to play with the pale yellow flaky snacks.
Griffith stood up and made room for them. The little ones hugged the little thing like potato chips, 'squeak', 'squeak' and bite quickly......
The drizzle outside the tree hole was still still falling, and the mountain forest had entered the night at this time, and the edge of the tree hole where the big demon was standing was slightly pressing, and the homeless animal dragged its wet body under the tree and walked lonely into the distance.
When I woke up in the morning, the rain had stopped.
Dias secretly sighed that she was lucky, she had been worried about whether the rain would last for many days, and now she was finally relieved.
Packing their bags again, Didias and Griffith set off again, and before leaving, she trimmed up the squirrel's nest and left some food as a thank you for taking the liberty of disturbing the night.
Due to the sudden rainfall, the ground was wet with rain, and the feet became muddy, and the low places were flooded with rainwater, making it difficult to cross on foot, so the original search plan needed to be changed.
Didias bit his pen and looked at the map of the nearby mountains and forests in his hand. The girl's eyebrows were raised, and the terrain was complicated, and he was a little confused about how to choose the right path.
At the same time, as the deeper into the mountains and forests, all kinds of wild beasts increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. In this season of scarcity of food away from civilization, the lure of food and the danger of hunting lurk behind every leaf and dry stalk.
Yesterday, when the midday sun was blazing, Didias and Griffith came across a spotted leopard. The guy was lying on the trunk of a tree, lazily watching the animals and birds walking below, his slender tail wagging at will.
Fortunately, the luck of the two was not bad, the spotted leopard was estimated to have just finished eating, and completely ignored the two humanoid creatures that appeared at the end of the field of vision, just yawning blindly, as if taking a nap.
In addition, the creatures encountered are strange, what zebras, rhinoceros, antelopes, elk, and there are not a few creatures that will take the initiative to attack.
According to the travel plan that Lecturer Anna had made for the five princesses before they set off, she and Griffith had been walking unfast, and the route had been chosen to be of the safe and secure type, and almost all of the territory of known dangerous and large creatures had been bypassed.
But when you come out for autumn hunting, there is no reason to take any risks.
On the way to one of the largest groups of Pilemon, there was an iron-winged bird named Billu, a third-order creature about two or three meters long, and was famous throughout the outer circle of the forest.
Didias, a mere first-order magic envoy, encounters this kind of guy, and it is completely for the sake of delivering food.
Billy, the iron-winged bird, migrated from the inner circle of the mountains and forests, and I heard that when he first arrived, he brought a pair of small birds, which were later stolen and sold by human hunting parties.
Because of this reason, this powerful iron-winged bird has an unusual hatred for humans, and can be regarded as one of the beasts with a relatively high desire to attack and strength attributes on the outskirts of the mountains and forests.
Griffith and Princess Didias are now on the territory of this ferocious creature.
Since the journey to find the Pi Ge Beast was not smooth, the five princesses were swept away in several small Pi Ge Beast common gathering places, so they had to take a risk and try the nearest gathering point of the large Pi Ge Beast to her.
Bille, the iron-winged bird, has a large range, and the probability of facing this giant monster is not high.
However, the iron-winged bird will fly to the sky every few days to search for food, and will also patrol the territory from time to time, if it is too close, it is very likely to be caught by the eyes of the high-speed camera and swallowed in the stomach.
Walking into the territory of this big guy, Didias and the big demon are naturally low-key and cautious.
Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess showed that she had prepared before setting off, took out two 'invisible cloaks' from Griffith's bag behind her, and advanced along the way to the covered landscape.
The so-called 'invisible cloak' is not really invisible, but it is just a 'chameleon trick' that has been solidified at the cost of some related expertise, which will make the material of the cloak spontaneously adjust its color and blend with the different environments.
Under the spiritual guidance of Lecturer Anna, Didias gave full play to the routine of safety first and seeking the near and far, wearing an invisible cloak, and made a large circle around the nest of the iron-winged bird Billu, and finally arrived at the gathering place of the leather beasts.
It's just that it takes a lot of time to do this, and it's not easy to copy, and its replication conditions require magical items like the Cloak of Invisibility and a strong servant like Griffith, who carries two fifty or sixty kilograms of luggage on his back.
In this way, the journey has been going without danger, and even if there are some unexpected situations on the way, with the level of the first-order magic power of Didias, it can be handled.
It is worth mentioning that although Didias and the Great Demon successfully crossed the territory of the iron-winged bird Billu, they were fortunate to enjoy the scene of the two or three meters long giant bird coming out to hunt for food on the way.
With a wingspan of five meters, he spreads his wings and flies into the sky, looking down on the whole land like a king.
Its eyes are pale amber and have good eyesight, like an eagle's eyes that can be seen directly from high above a tiny creature on a grass stalk.
Griffith and the Fifth Princess, wearing their cloaks of invisibility, saw the huge figure, shooting backwards from the clouds to the ground, piercing a giant ape that was climbing between the trunks of a tree like a sword. The purple-black mouth twisted the neck of the prey, and before inertia hit it to the ground, it only flipped its wings and soared into the sky again with hundreds of catties of prey.
All of this happened in just a few seconds.
Witnessing such a domineering hunting method, Didias was shocked at the time, she covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from making a sound, and the other hand pressed the demon's head frantically, telling him to lower his body so that he would not be discovered by Billu.
After this incident, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess was instigated by Anna's self-confidence obviously a little shaken, she is a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but when she really sees the tiger predatoring, she still can't help but feel the gap and fear.
After arriving at the gathering place of the relatively large Pige beasts in the nearby mountains, Princess Didias digested the shadow of the previous fright and resumed her mission.
The place where the Pi Ge Beast was located was a large valley, and this time Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess was lucky not to make a trip in vain as before. Judging from the fresh feces of the Pi Ge beasts in the valley, the Pi Ge beasts here did not have time for a large-scale migration.
The grass-dwelling Pige beast migrates many times a year in the mountains and forests, but there are not many places where the beast likes forage between the mountains and forests, and each place will form a large-scale growth group of Pige beasts in a certain period of time.
Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and the task of hunting and killing the leather beast, finding this kind of creature in the mountains and forests is only one-third of the completion at best, and it is even more impossible to relax.
The plan to hunt the Pige Beast had already been calculated by the Fifth Princess and Mentor Anna long before the autumn hunt began. Before this, there were many people who had done similar tasks, and they had the corresponding experience to learn and accumulate and formulate a plan for animal hunting, which was very targeted and planned.
The Pige Beast is a social creature, which is the basis for this creature that is not very strong in a single body to gain a foothold in the mountains and forests.
The first step in hunting a Pige is to avoid its edge and target a lone individual, preferably a frail individual, an old or young individual - of course, if you have some ambitions and want to do well, you can choose an individual in the prime of life as the next target.
Lying on the top of the cliff on the side of the valley, Didias spent the whole day observing, and finally locked on the object of his action.
He took out the rhizome of the six-leaf moongrass, the fruit of the wisteria flower, and the black seeds of the nine-fold lotus, and had Griffith crush it into pieces, and finally put it in a small glass bottle with a black crystal powder weighing 10 grams.
