Chapter 21: The Hunt Begins
Early the next morning, as soon as Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Hao met, Xuanyuan Yu gave Xuanyuan Hao a punch, and Xuanyuan Hao was stunned and said, "What are you doing here?"
Xuanyuan Yu said angrily: "I couldn't get angry yesterday when there were a lot of people, and you can't escape today!"
Xuanyuan Hao hurriedly dodged and said, "Xuanyuan Yu, what are you doing here?"
"Why did you deliberately admit defeat last night? Don't you know it's dangerous to go out hunting? You still let Tianyou come with you?"
"Didn't you give me a look? You want to establish prestige for your son, and you're embarrassed to lose to your son, so don't you let me come? I've done it, what else do you want?"
"Shenma ?......"
Looking at the scene of Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Hao, the two adults fighting, everyone smiled, both of them were good buddies, and they often made trouble, and everyone was used to it.
Tianyou heard his father's words, and his heart suddenly felt a little warm.
When the two finished fighting, Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Hao led a total of ten Xuanzhi, including Tianyou, out of the cottage, and some people knew that they were preparing for the ancestor worship ceremony.
All ten of them carried broadswords or longbows, and some small bottles and jars hung on their bodies, some of which contained insect repellent powder, some of which contained herbs to stop bleeding, and some of which were medicinal powders to mask the smell, and of course the powder of hemp tendon grass was also indispensable.
Tianyou also has these bottles and cans hanging on his body, and he also carries a large backpack, which contains all kinds of tools for wild life, including ropes. But only Tianyou didn't bring weapons, mainly because the weapons in Tianyoujue's cottage were too light, and they weren't as good as his hands and feet. In the end, in desperation, Tianyou could only carry a large bag of sundries and follow behind everyone.
This is the second time that Tianyou has left the cottage, the last time he was in a hurry to rescue the hunting party, and the soil in that place of Blackwood Cliff is barren, and there are no animals living there.
And this time, God blessed them all the way to the south, the road was full of dense woods, and there were many small streams, along the way God blessed I don't know how many kinds of strange plants I saw, there were vines full of thorns, and the elders were the size of a huge trumpet flower, and there was a big tree more than 100 meters high, with pink fruits the size of a human head hanging on the tree, and the people who accompanied him told him that it was a fire tree, and the whole tree was a little bit, which was natural fuel. Especially those fruits, the juice in the fruit is like fire oil. However, such a fire tree has to grow in a place with extremely heavy humidity, which can't help but make Tianyou sigh at the magic of nature.
On the one hand, because this mission is not urgent, on the other hand, there are a large number of mysterious beasts in the mountains now, and everyone must move forward carefully, but fortunately, there are no flying beasts.
Tianyou also saw many insects and poisonous snakes, some centipedes were the size of a baby's arm, and everyone marked the location, saying that there was a centipede's nest there, and this giant centipede was a good medicinal material, and they would come to collect it later, and then everyone left again.
Although I saw many strange plants and many insects along the way, I did not find a single large beast.
"The big beasts in this area have either been eaten by the beasts or run away by the beasts!" Xuanyuan Yu said, if this continues, these hungry beasts will sooner or later target their thousands of people's cottages!
"Look there!" After walking all morning, they found a quagmire, surrounded by several huge footprints, each the size of a washbasin.
"It's the footprints of the two-horned lizard, everyone be careful! we're already close to its territory!" Xuanyuan Yu said.
"We're going to pick up the pace, we have to get to its cave before dark!" Xuanyuan Hao said in a deep voice.
"Everybody, come here and cover your whole body with this mud!" Xuanyuan Mo said.
"That's right, these muds are stained with the smell of two-horned lizards, so that we can mask the smell of humans on our bodies, and other beasts will not dare to approach us!" Xuanyuan Yu echoed.
Then everyone was wrapped up in clay figures, and Tianyou was no exception, some useless things such as sundries and bags, everyone hid around first, and then traveled lightly.
After passing the quagmire, everyone knew that they had come to the territory of the two-horned black lizard, and everyone became serious, and there would be people standing guard every time they advanced a distance, and then they would follow the team, this was to prevent the sneak attack of the mysterious beast behind the team. Tianyou no longer looked left and right, and followed closely behind the team without saying a word.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at Tianyou at this time, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart: Tianyou has really grown up!
"Look where!" someone said suddenly, pointing to the right.
On the right there was a battlefield, fresh, with blood on the ground and on the trunks. All the trees within a radius of 100 miles were broken, and the ground was in a mess, which was the trace left by the two mysterious beasts fighting together.
Everyone's hearts are a little heavy, the beasts are raging, if this phenomenon is not stopped, the lives of the people in the village will be threatened.
Everyone marched all the way and saw more and more traces left by the activities of the mysterious beasts, and many of the big trees in the sky that could only be hugged by five or six people were broken by the waist, and there were often some footprints of the mysterious beasts on the ground.
"This is supposed to be the footprints of a canine beast. Xuanyuan Yu squatted down and inspected, "But it's been a long time, the lord of this area is the two-horned black lizard, it should be invincible to the two-horned black lizard, and it was driven away!"
The deeper they went, the heavier their hearts became, and the aura left behind by some powerful beasts made them all feel afraid. Now, the mysterious beasts in the mountains are running out, and there is a possibility that a new powerful mysterious beast will occupy this territory at any time.
"We're here!" In the afternoon, just as the sun was about to set, everyone finally arrived at the two-horned lizard's cave.
This is a natural cave, the entrance of the cave is very large, 20 meters, and the depth of the cave is a pool of rainwater. Outside the cave, all the surrounding trees were smashed off, clearing out a lane wide with four carriages in parallel, and everyone was a little frightened, how huge it would be if the black lizard was as wide as this road.
The cave was very cool, and there were even fresh bones on the ground, and there were shredded flesh on the bones.
"That's the bones of the Greyhorn!" The people quickly recognized the huge skeleton on the ground, the Greyhorn was a beast with a body like a cow in tough leather, with a gray horn growing between the valley and its forehead, it was a large beast that would take some effort to hunt even the Mystic.
"Hurry up and set up the trap, the two-horned lizard will be back in a moment!" Xuanyuan Yu ordered.
The clay pot containing the powder of the hemp grass was sealed with mud and fixed to the top of the cave, and the people exited the cave, found a hidden place, and covered their bodies with mud.
"It's going to be up to you in a while!" Xuanyuan Yu said to Xuanyuan Mo.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yu!"
Although Xuanyuan Mo is the youngest person in the crowd except for Tianyou, his archery skills are unmatched by no one in the entire Xuanyuan Village.
The fixed position of the clay pot in the cave is very particular, both at the top of the cave and in the field of view of everyone, so that when the two-horned lizard enters the cave, Xuanyuan Mo can use a bow and arrow to break the crockpot, and then a large amount of hemp grass powder falls from the sky, covering the whole body of the two-horned lizard. It is very difficult to hit a crockpot from such a distance.
Everyone was prostrate on the ground, and the moon gradually rose, and tonight the moon was hooked, silvery-white, like a sharp scimitar.
"Bang!
A heavy sound reached everyone's ears, and everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the path cleared by the two-horned lizard.
Finally, the two-horned lizard appeared.
The two-horned lizard is nearly twenty meters long and is the size of two or three houses connected together. The two-horned lizard is black all over, and its huge scales shimmer with a black metallic luster, as if a pair of armor is split on its body, and it still has black mud on its body, and its steps are a little slow and tired.
The eyes of the two-horned lizard were like two lanterns, emitting a strange yellow light, and there were two horns on the top of its forehead, which were extremely sharp, and there were circles of threads on the horns, and there were some Xuanwen in them. It has large bone spurs on its back, sharp points that can easily pierce the Greyhorn's tough leather armor.
A huge momentum struck, and when the two-horned lizard opened its mouth, everyone could see the filaments drawn from the sticky saliva between its upper and lower jaws. The two-horned Xuanwei is releasing its own Xuanwei, it is swearing its own territory, today there is another Xuanwei to challenge it, and it is defeated and flees, and now there are often other Xuanwei, it has to release its Xuanwei every day to warn other Xuanwei, this is already its territory.
Everyone had some heart palpitations, and the Xuanwei of the ten Xuanmen gathered together was able to fight against it.
The two-horned lizard suddenly glanced at the hiding place of Xuanyuan Yu and the others with its big eyes, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to gasp, if it was discovered like this, then all the preparations would be in vain.
But fortunately, the two-horned Xuanli immediately turned its gaze away, and it didn't find everyone in Xuanyuan Village. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The two-horned lizard's gaze scanned around, then slowly burrowed into its hole. At this moment, two arrow feathers suddenly burst out of the air, and the sound of the wind swished.
The two-horned black lizard reacted very quickly, it turned its head and opened its mouth and roared, although the sound was not very loud, but the breath was very sufficient, the powerful air flow directly blew the two arrow feathers away, and the two wooden arrows broke in half in the air, but then two sharper wind whistles came, and the two iron arrows also had Xuan Qi attached to them, and the power was even more powerful.
The two-horned Xuanshu had just run out of breath at this time, and the new breath had not yet been generated, and the occult technique could not be used in such a short time, so it knew that it would definitely not be able to dodge this blow. I saw the two-horned Xuan Lizard close its eyes, and a layer of black Xuan Qi overflowed to protect its eyes. Its whole body is covered in hard scales, and it has no weakness except for its eyes, which it just needs to protect.
But it didn't expect that when the goal of the people in Xuanyuan Village opened, it was not it, but the clay pot with hemp tendon powder on its head. Two crisp sounds came, a large amount of powder was sprinkled, and the two-horned lizard did not react for a while and inhaled a large amount of hemp tendon powder.
Almost instantly, the two-horned lizard seemed to faint to the ground, but it shook a few times and stood firm again, the two-horned lizard felt a feeling of muscle weakness, and at this time endless anger came out, it was overshadowed, but it did not have the extra strength to roar.
"Others cover!Hao, follow me!" shouted Xuanyuan Yu as he jumped out of the grass.
