Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Good Helper
When Snow arrived at the gate of the town, almost half of the inhabitants had gathered under the wall, and looked out of the town with weapons in hand and a little panicked. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It was already noon at this time, and when Snow passed by the room, he smelled the smell of grilled fish.
"Mayor, there are beasts, big beasts." Abra stepped forward and said with a strange expression.
"What beast? How many are there? Snow thought of Elena for the first time, frowning on the surface, but looking forward to it in his heart, not knowing what helper Elena had found him.
"Four, you might as well see for yourself." Abra said.
Snow walked forward quickly, and the residents crowded behind the fence saw Snow coming, and offered to give him a place after giving a salute.
Snow looked out of the town through the wall, good fellows, a man-bear, a deep forest tiger, a gray and white wolf king, and Snow's old acquaintance, the adult black panther who almost killed him. These four beasts can be said to be the overlords of the mountains and forests, but at this time, they each distanced themselves and scattered not far north of the town, lying on the ground and basking in the sun with a lazy expression.
"When did these four big guys come?" Snow suppressed the joy in his heart and turned his head to ask.
"Just now, I thought they were coming to attack the town, so I blew the warning whistle." "But they don't seem to have any intention of attacking, they just scatter in front of the town, just lying on their stomachs quietly, occasionally getting up and walking around, and not approaching us." ”
"Mayor, what do we do now?" Randolph asked, these four beasts are not short-tailed wolves and piezas, they are very fierce and extremely powerful. If it were in the mountains and forests, twenty or thirty people would have suffered heavy casualties if they encountered any of the four heads. Although it is now in the town, the northern wall has not been reinforced. The wall, which was less than a man high, could not stop them at all, and the panther easily jumped on the wall that night, which had been verified.
"Don't worry too much, I don't think they meant to attack the town." Snow said lightly, turned his head to see Mandasen not far away, and waved his hand to call him over, "Mandason, what do you think of these four uninvited guys?" ”
"It's hard to say ........" In the past two days, Mandason has also found that his mouth is very ugly, saying what comes and goes, good and bad spirits.
"It's hard to say, you should know their habits, just talk about how to get rid of them." Snow asked with a deliberate face, he couldn't let others see that he was in league with the four beasts.
"I don't know." Mandason shook his head.
"Don't know? You're an old hunter, haven't you dealt with them before? Randolph asked, incredulous.
"Dealing with them? If I had encountered them in the mountains and forests, I would have been either in heaven or in hell by now. Mandason looked a little frightened at the distance outside the town, where the deep forest tiger was yawning lazily, its mouth open enough to fit into the heads of two people at the same time.
"I remember you once said that you fought with your father against a wild wolf king." Abra said that this was true, and that Mandathan had indeed said that he and his father had managed to escape with courage and experience under the attack of a wolf king.
"I'm talking big, if you look at the physique of the wolf king, I'm afraid that the knight who is a fortress can't resist its sharp claws." Mandason said with a bitter face.
"Regardless, you're the most vocal in our town when it comes to beasts." Snow smiled and said, "Tell me what you think." ”
"Mayor, it's not that I don't say it, it's just that these four beasts are too abnormal." Mandason glanced at the four-headed behemoth in front of the town, and said, "My father taught me since I was a child that the mountains and forests are a place where the weak eat the strong. In the presence of powerful beasts, weak beasts will be reduced to food, which is a common habit of carnivorous beasts. ”
Mandason's statement Snow understands very well, and it is the simplest explanation of the food chain. Different carnivores will only be a relationship between hunting and being hunted.
"It stands to reason that these four beasts have similar attack power. If it is in a situation of hunger, they will definitely attack each other. Even when they are full, they will not choose to stay together, and should return to their respective territories. Mandason looked at the four beasts not far from each other, and said depressedly: "But you see that they are too close to each other, and they are indifferent to the other three beasts that are enough to threaten their safety. It's like...... It's like ......"
"Like four good friends?" Looking at Mandason, he couldn't find the words to describe it for a while, and Randolph on the side said.
"Yes, yes, it's like a good friend." Mandason nodded in agreement, "It's just incredible, it's completely beyond my imagination. So, I can't come up with any useful suggestions. ”
"However, I don't think they have any intention of attacking the town for the time being." Mandason looked at Snow and added, "I'm only talking about temporary." ”
"Although these beasts have no intention of attacking, we can't go out and fish in front of the town." Abra said with a frown.
Snow was slightly stunned, he didn't take this into account. If the four beasts squatted in front of the town, no resident would dare to go out to work, even if he packed the ticket. Not only fishing, Snow also had to deepen the traps outside the walls.
"Looks like I'll have to remind Elena to let the beasts leave during the day and guard the town at night." Because wild beasts like to be seen at night most of the time, it is rare for large numbers of wild beasts to come out of the mountains and forests during the day.
"yes, that's not the way to go." Snow looked at the beasts outside the town and said in a deliberate loud voice, "With them here, we can't go out fishing and deepen the trap." ”
Snow's shout was apparently heard by the wolf closest to the town, and with a twitch of its ears, it slowly stood up and turned its head to look at Snow. With the wolf's movements, the other three beasts also stood up.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they hurriedly took out their weapons, staring at the four-headed beast with fear, and many people couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Under everyone's gaze, the panther shook its head, raised its legs and on the ground, and turned to walk towards the endless mountains and forests to the north. The other three beasts, all of whom had also learned from the panther, got up and peed, and then turned and left.
Now the inhabitants were dumbfounded again, the four beasts were obviously in a group, but they didn't know what their purpose was.
Looking at the beast that was gradually moving away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Snow deliberately made a look of surprise, turned his head to look at Mandarson, and asked, "How did they go?" ”
Mandason is a second monk who is confused, he has never encountered such a strange situation after decades of hunting experience, looking at Snow Dao and shaking his head in a daze. At this time, Mandason felt that the hunting experience he had accumulated over the years was a joke.
