The Behemoth of Xavier Chapter 4 Encounters in the Cave
Ah Gu picked up a stone and threw it into the cave, and after a sound, he picked up another piece and threw it in. Five pieces were thrown in a row, and no beast came out.
"Looks like the beast isn't at home. Ah Gu drew his scimitar and slowly walked into the cave.
The cave is a little dark, the cave is very large, through the light of the cave entrance, you can also see the stone stalactites on the top of the cave, the cave is a little damp, there should be a water source in the cave.
Ah Gu took out a small leather bag, went up and found a dry branch, and took out a hairy dried animal skin from his pocket.
Open the stopper of the skin, which contains animal fat, and rub it on the fur. Then wrap the fur around the dry branches and take out the homemade fire folds.
"Hu ......" lit the fur and walked towards the cave with a torch.
Ah Gu held the torch and looked around, and found that the drag marks on the ground wider than a person's open arm should be new, and it seems that the animal in the cave has not been gone for long and will come back at any time.
There were some broken bones of animals on the ground, and Ah Gu approached, squatted down and rummaged for a while, and found several human bones under one of the cave walls, which should be the place where animals excrete.
The bones are highly digested and broken, but some of the teeth and jaw features can still be seen as human.
"It was swallowed raw, and it looked like a very large animal and it was not chewed. Ah Gu was a little curious and a little worried.
He had never seen an animal with similar habits, no, I think he had never seen such an animal that could be so big.
Continuing to explore with his torch raised, the cave was quiet, and he could faintly hear the sound of a thin stream of water.
Following the sound, I walked in that direction, lowered the torch, and saw a thin stream.
Following the flow of water and going deeper, Ah Gu saw a half-man-high hole, and a breeze blew out of the hole.
Ah Gu didn't dare to act rashly, knelt down on one knee, raised the torch and looked into the hole. It's still pitch black inside.
Picked up a stone and threw it inside, clanging with a crunch. Ah Gu immediately put his ear to the wall of the cave and listened carefully. There is a slight movement, it should be something inside.
Agu was about to consider whether to go in or not. The space inside is too small, and if he encounters a beast, he can't even stand up, which is not easy to deal with.
"Shhh...... Hiss ......"
Just then, suddenly some voices came from outside the cave. There is also the sound of heavy objects rubbing against the ground.
"Oh no, such a coincidence, the animal has returned to the nest?" Ah Gu's face changed, and he secretly said badly. If you go out at this time, you will definitely collide with the beast.
Listening to the sound of the beast's footsteps on the ground, it's definitely a big guy. Bone extinguished the torch in the water and slowly moved towards the hole against the wall.
"It's a bear, I'm not afraid, I'll quietly touch it and take a look. "Agu has faith in himself.
But as a hunter, there's nothing wrong with being cautious. Quietly move to a place where you can see the entrance to the cave.
Ah Gu bent his body slightly, made a force movement, and then remained motionless, and even his breathing became slow. Through the light of the cave, Ah Gu saw a picture that he couldn't believe.
"What kind of monster is this, why is it so big!"
Although the footprints and traces of the bones dragging on the ground when he was in the cave, as well as the appearance of animal bones being digested, he could deduce that it should be a cold-blooded reptile, similar to a lizard or something.
But in his eyes, lizards are all weak animals, and the largest one he has ever seen is only as long as an arm.
Through the faint light of the hole, it was a large, lizard-like animal. The tail was still outside the hole, and it was impossible to see how long the lizard was.
From the calf that is as wide as a strong man's shoulders, the high huge head is two meters above the ground, obviously this is a big guy, and it doesn't look easy to mess with.
The huge skull, covered in lumps of brown scales, stretched from the bridge of the nose to the back, full of hideous spikes. His mouth didn't open, he just kept spitting out the thick purple core.
The monster lowered its head, twitched the core a few times, and crawled quickly in the direction of Ah Gu.
"It's not good, this cold-blooded animal has a keen sense of smell, it should smell the smell of the living, and found me. Ah Gu was shocked, pulled out his scimitar, and ran towards the monster, it seemed that there was going to be a big battle.
Ah Gu came to the monster, and the monster also saw Ah Gu. He lowered his head, opened his big mouth full of fangs, and bit down.
Ah Gu paused, rolled on the spot, and rolled to the side of the monster's left leg. Before he could get up, he slashed at the monster's left front leg.
The scimitar slashed into it with the power of Ah Bone. The scales of the lizard were thick, but they were still cut open, and blood flowed out.
The lizard roared in pain, turned its head to the left, opened its mouth, and took another bite.
Ah Gu jumped up vigorously, grabbed a bone spur on the lizard's shoulder with one hand, and flipped it up with a strong arm.
He grabbed the bone spur in one hand, stepped on the place on his back where there was no scale armor, and stabbed the lizard on the side of the head.
The scale armor on the head was very hard, and the scimitar did not even cut through the scale armor. The monster's head shook violently from side to side, making it impossible for Ah Gu to cut its eyes.
Bone thrust the knife into the scabbard, then shook his fist, shouted, and slammed it down on the monster's head.
There was a loud bang, and the monster's head was smashed to the side. The monster staggered, and there was another loud roar.
The monster shook its hideous head fiercely, and rolled to the side, slamming Ah Gu to the ground, and then the bone spurs all over his body crushed towards Ah Gu on the ground.
Ah Gu was shocked, his back hit the ground, his feet kicked out, kicked the monster's back, and with the power of the shock, he wiped the ground and withdrew from the monster's crushing range.
"This guy isn't clumsy at all, and he's got to find a way to knock him over. Ah Gu stood up.
The lizard also rolled over and crawled up, accompanied by the rising dust, and the ground was backstabbed to dig out a large pit.
At this moment, the monster actually closed its mouth. There was a twitch in the throat.
Seeing this situation, Ah Gu had a bad premonition in his heart. Hurriedly ran to the depths of the cave.
The monster opened its mouth wide. A golden flame erupted towards Ah Gu.
Ah Gu ran forward, and saw that the cave was bright, and his shadow dragged in front of him, and the dark passage was not good, and the amazing heat came from behind.
He slammed his foot on the ground and threw himself into the stream diagonally ahead. The stream is deserted, but fortunately the water is deep enough. Flames sprayed into the stream, staining the entire surface of the water transparently.
After the flames, Ah Gu stood up from the stream, and before he could turn around, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, accompanied by the sound of the monster's belly rubbing against the ground.
Ah Gu didn't have time to think, and immediately ran towards the half-human-high hole before. I didn't care if there was any danger in the hole, so I bent down and got in.
Ah Gu pulled out his scimitar, lowered his waist, and walked down the passage in the cave. The entrance to the cave was so small that the monster could not enter, only the angry roar of the monster and the sound of its claws scratching the entrance could be heard from outside the cave.
As he walked, he saw a little light, as if he had reached the end of the passage.
Walking out of the other end of the passage, there was a sudden light in front of me, and it was a different world. It's like a small valley, and when you look up, you can see the sky, and there are some trees and ferns in the valley, and further in, there is a small lake.
"There's something!" Ah Gu looked sharply, raised his scimitar and pointed behind a tree. He noticed that something seemed to be watching him from behind the tree, and he slowly walked towards the tree.
"Don't! don't worry! I have no ill intentions, I'll come out now!" a man who looked to be in his early twenties walked out from behind the tree with his hands raised.
Darls was a little frightened, and he heard someone fighting the monster outside the cave in the small valley. He heard shouts and sounded like human.
Dalles was both happy and a little worried, happy that he hadn't seen a human in half a year. The fear is that the monster will eat the human.
When he was still hesitating to rescue this man, he didn't expect him to come in alive.
Dalles looked closely at the handsome young man with black hair and eyes, full of braids, dressed in animal skins, and carrying a scimitar, looking more like an uncivilized barbarian.
"It's human, but what is he talking about?" Ah Gu did not let down his guard, still holding the scimitar.
The human in front of him, in his twenties, was dressed in delicate cloth. Ah Gu had seen a rare thing like cloth in the tribe in exchange for a big tribe. But compared to this man's own, the tribe was simply rude.
He had never seen such a fine cloth, light and soft, brightly colored, and with patterns on it. The man turned out to have blonde hair and turquoise eyes. And it seems that he is talking, just completely intelligible.
"Who are you, why are you here?" Agu asked what he wanted to ask.
It's just a pity that in Dalles's opinion, he didn't understand what the other party said at all. I guess the other party didn't understand what I said.
So Dalles changed several languages. But looking at the puzzled face of the beast-skinned boy in front of him, he knew that all this was in vain, but he didn't expect to finally meet a person of the same kind, and he didn't understand the language.
Ah Gu seemed to see that the person in front of him had no malicious intent, so he slowly put down the scimitar.
Dalles made a gesture to follow me, and walked to the other side of the valley on his own. Ah Gu looked around and walked over as well.
They came to a very shallow cave with some hay in it. Presumably the place where this man slept. There was freshly grilled fish on the ground, steaming hot, and some wild fruit.
Dalles pointed to the food, said a few more words, and then picked up a fruit and ate it himself. Ah Gu could understand that he wanted to invite himself to eat these things.
Ah Gu still did not let his guard down, this was the first time he had seen someone outside the tribe, to be on the safe side, what this blonde man ate, Ah Gu picked up and ate.
