Chapter 243: Cunning
Carefully observing these pioneers, Ye Ziqing found that the eyebrow bones on the eye sockets of these animals grew very specially, and they all stretched out from the eye sockets like a light rain, but their lower eye sockets were parallel to the eyeballs. This eye structure allows these bulls to see objects near and above, and can only see things on the ground at level or downward.
Probably because of the large size of this species, there are no flying predators here, and in addition, they spend all day and night on the ground looking for grass to eat, so they don't need to raise their eyes to look at the sky, so they slowly evolved into this. Ye Ziqing estimated that these reckless cows still have the problem of myopia, because they went from far to near, and they couldn't find themselves in the distance, which is enough to show that they can't see things in the distance very clearly.
In order to find out why these big guys were called fools by everyone, Ye Ziqing took out a rope from the flying sword, and tied some cyan spirit grass to it. Then select one at the edge of the colony, fly to the top of its head, and hang the rope tied to the spirit grass in front of its eyes. It's like a child grazing a buffalo on the earth, and in this way the cow is drawn aside.
led the reckless cow to walk two miles, Ye Ziqing felt that it was almost far enough, so he threw the rope in his hand to the ground. Seeing that the spirit grass fell to the ground, the reckless ox stopped moving forward, and lowered his head to gnaw on the spirit grass. Ye Ziqing and others are the opportunity for it to bow its head, so that its horns can be in a position where it is easy to cut from top to bottom. said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Ye Ziqing cut off a flying sword that he had already held in his hand, and cut it off according to the horns of the mountain mangniu, "Click! After a sound, a cow cornered, and Ye Ziqing flew up fiercely with a flying sword.
After being about 10 meters from the ground, Ye Ziqing looked down and was dumbfounded. I saw the Kaishan Mangniu who thought it would be like thunder, but he was frightened by the horn that fell from his head, and he didn't dare to continue to eat the spirit grass, so he stretched out his head and sniffed the horns, and found that the thing on the ground was no threat to him, as if nothing had happened, he turned his head again, and then continued to gnaw on the spirit grass on the ground.
Ye Ziqing, who saw this scene, couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that this thing was really stupid, what fell on his body, it didn't know that it was its own, and it didn't seem to matter to them anything except eating. This is good, everyone can complete the task with peace of mind. After cutting off the other horn of this mang-niu as it was, looking at the mang-niu who not only finished gnawing the spirit grass, but also ate the rope that tied the spirit grass, Ye Ziqing picked up the two horns of the cow and sighed, set up a flying sword, and flew towards the direction of the small mountain col where the senior sisters were.
In an hour's time, each of them got 10 horns of the Ye Ziqing team, and after leaving thirty bald cows without horns, they left the seemingly scary area of the mountain-opening cows and rushed towards the next task point.
The next task is to collect the spirit bones of the snow-striped leopard. This task is not so simple. Although a few people have to deal with just a demon beast, this guy is much more difficult to deal with than the Kaishan Mangniu Cong.
Snow leopards are solitary, cautious and cruel by nature, good at hiding themselves in the ice and snow, often without other monsters noticing, suddenly burst out of hiding to give their opponents a fatal blow. Therefore, when doing this task, you must be extra cautious, otherwise you will risk being injured by it.
Ye Ziqing's team began to be on full alert before approaching the territory of the snow-striped leopard marked on the map. Although it is still some distance from their habitat, there is no guarantee that these creatures will not move outside their territory.
Just as everyone cautiously moved towards the territory of the snow-striped leopard, a group of herbivorous red deer beasts suddenly ran out of the woods, looking at their panicked appearance, everyone guessed that they must have been attacked by some demon beast in the woods, so they fled in such a panic, maybe the attack on them was the snow-striped leopard that everyone was looking for, so everyone sped up and touched the direction of the red deer beast's escape.
Not far into the woods, the sharp-eyed Xia Ziqian found a red deer beast repeatedly trampling on it in the low bushes, and there were traces of falling to the ground and struggling. I didn't find any demon beast corpses nearby, only a half-meter wide and shallow snow mark extending to the depths of the woods, if it snowed at this time, it is estimated that this trace will be covered by heavy snow for a while, and disappear. What is this trace? Looking at the snow marks that neither looked like drags nor footprints, everyone wondered for a while.
In order to find out who made this snow mark, Ye Ziqing and the others followed this trace and walked to the depths of the woods. After walking for a few miles, the snow mark suddenly disappeared in a patch of bushes. Seeing the traces disappearing, everyone was really nervous for a while, according to ordinary experience, the disappearance of the traces means that the demon beast that created the traces is nearby. This time, however, this argument did not apply, and after a careful examination of the vicinity, it was found that there was no living creature or trace of it, except for a red deer beast with two legs missing from the bushes and snowdrifts.
This is really strange, after the monster beast bites other creatures, the scene will be bloody and messy. However, there is no such phenomenon in this incident today, first, there is no blood of the red deer beast, and second, there is no trace of footprints left by the perpetrator. Now that the only clue has been lost, everyone can't even tell the direction of the murderer, which shows how cunning this monster is!
"What the hell is this!" After checking around, Ye Ziqing, who didn't find anything, scolded. Unwillingly, he squatted on the ground again to check the body of the red deer beast, and found that the red deer beast was directly bitten by the throat, and the blood in its body was all gone, from the torso that lost its two legs, it could also be seen that the exposed flesh had turned white, and there was no blood oozing, which meant that the blood in its body had been drained.
In such a short period of time, the blood of such a large animal was sucked dry, which shows that the murderer is also very large, but it is really incredible that such a large animal can slip away without leaving a trace, unless this guy can fly.
Seeing the power of this demon beast, Ye Ziqing, who had no choice, didn't dare to let everyone scatter and search. Looking at the corpse of the red deer beast on the ground, Ye Ziqing, who was helpless, had no choice but to order everyone to divide into two groups, hide in the nearby trees, and wait for the rabbit to appear on its own. Now we can only hope that this demon beast will return here today and continue to deliver its food.
