Chapter 21: The Black Giant Rat
It was hot, and there was not a hint of wind on the road.
Early in the morning, Binger and Cobier drove for several hours, and finally arrived in the town of Green Wilderness before noon, and without bothering to greet familiar people, he hurried straight to the castle.
After Alan got the news, he decided to let Antonio run, after all, in addition to his own knight, the territory will also break through to become a knight, and this matter can be solved by letting Antonio go, and he is still nesting in the study to write his plan for the territory, and the pursuit is comprehensive, after all, the more detailed the planning of the territory, the better.
Alan was afraid that Antonio would have an accident, just in case, before Antonio set off, let him bring fifty cavalry to follow him, with the cooperation of fifty cavalry, even a powerful low-level demonic beast can compete with one or two, as long as there is no middle-level demonic beast, Antonio and the cavalry are basically not in danger.
After receiving the order, Antonio took the cavalrymen in leather armor, took their weapons, and set off towards the village of Fengguo.
On the way to Fengguo Village, Binger looked back at Antonio, who was wearing iron armor and had a blank face, hesitated for a while, but slowly slowed down the speed of the horse, slowly approached Antonio, and stopped after a distance.
Binger is not too familiar with Antonio, the captain of the knights' squad, so it is not good to get too close.
"Sorry, Lord Antonio, I didn't have time to congratulate you on breaking through the knight?" Bing looked at Antonio next to him.
"Hmm. Antonio, still expressionless, hummed softly.
"Well, Lord Antonio, I don't know exactly what I've been involved in, I'll tell you about it. ”
"Hmm. ”
After seeing that Antonio didn't like to speak very much, Binge no longer tried to set it up, and simply told Antonio what had happened carefully. After all, Antonio is here to solve the trouble for their village, and if something goes wrong, he will be very responsible.
After hearing this, Antonio turned to Binger and said, "Chief Binger, now we don't know where this beast is, is there any way you can find it?"
......Bing was stunned, he thought that if he handed over the matter to Antonio, the beast would soon be caught, but now he had to find the trace of the beast himself.
"Yes, Pine! Pine must have a way. Binger thought of Pine the Hunter, who had been hunting in the forest with his father since he was a child, discussing the familiarity of animals, and no one in the village could compare to Pine, Binger was not sure if Pine could find the unknown beast, but he could ask Pine for help, which was the best option right now.
"Pyne?" asked Antonio, slightly curious.
"Yes, Pyne is an Orion in the village, he has a lot of experience, he knows all kinds of beasts, he must have a way to find it!" Binger said to Antonio with certainty.
When the team arrived at Fengguo Village, Binger led the group to Pine's house.
"Pine, is Pine there?" Binger tapped on the door of Pine's house.
After about a while, the wooden door was opened, and it was opened by a little girl, with big eyes and two ponytails, very cute, it was Pine's daughter Silky.
"It's Mr. Village Chief, and my father hasn't come back from hunting?" said Si timidly.
"That'...... Mistress Antonio should come to my house to rest first, and it will probably take some time for Pyne to return. Binger laughed.
"No, let's wait here!" Antonio motioned for the cavalry to dismount and rest.
Time flew quickly, and as evening approached, Pyne saw a large group of people in front of his house in the distance, and hurried over quickly.
"Chief Binger, what's going on. Pyne saw Bing in the crowd.
"Pine, you're here just in time to introduce you, this is Lord Antonio, the Baron sent to help us capture the beast, these people are Lord Antonio's subordinates. Binger saw that Pine had finally arrived, and hurried to introduce Pine.
After some explanation, Pyne finally understood what had happened, and handed the hare and pheasant on his shoulder to his daughter Small, telling her to go home first, and then follow everyone to the village chief's house to discuss the matter.
"Pyne, we can't be sure of its whereabouts right now, I heard from the village chief that you might have a way?" Antonio said directly to Pyne.
After hearing this, the village chief Binger smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Pine, you are experienced, there must be a way to find the traces of this guy, right?"
"Village Chief, Lord Antonio, in fact, the trace of this guy is really difficult to find, I have been hunting for so many years, and I can't guess what kind of monster it is, but since it has been poaching domestic animals, I think I can start from this aspect. Pine said earnestly.
"What do you mean...... Are you trying to seduce?" asked Antonio, confused.
"That's right, sir, we can set a trap and lure it in!" Pine nodded.
After thinking about it for a while.
"Then it's decided, since it's always been a night operation, then lure it tonight, Pyne will leave this matter to you, and once it appears, I'll kill it immediately. Antonio left the matter to Pine.
"Yes, Antonio-sama. "As an old hunter, Pyne is all too familiar with setting traps.
Let every family in the village bring their own livestock and poultry into their homes, and several cows in the village are also pulled into special cow houses, so that the beast will not have a chance to poach poultry and livestock, Pyne also struggled.
Pyne had a few cavalry brothers dig a deep pit in the road to the village, rebuild it with slender bamboo branches and thatch, and cut off the legs of a chicken contributed by the village chief's family and tied it to the sacrifice.
I have to say that Pyne thought very well and cut off the chicken's two legs, which not only allowed the smell of blood to spread, stimulated the beast's sense of smell, but also prevented some beasts from being uninterested in dead things, so he kept the chicken alive.
The cavalry was arranged to hide in the surrounding houses with spears in hand, and the others also retreated to the houses, and the rest was to wait quietly.
The moon began to rise high, and on the trap, the chickens were losing more and more strength due to the loss of blood, and all that was left was the sound of Antonio's gentle breathing.
Time passes little by little.
......
"It's coming!" Pyne said softly.
Everyone looked in the direction of Pyne's finger, and a shadow appeared in the alley not far away, gradually leaking out of the alley.
As the guy slowly walked from the dark alley to the moonlit road, it was only then that everyone could clearly see the original appearance of the mysterious beast.
This guy is a huge black mouse, with four strong and powerful claws, a pig-sized body, and a pair of red eyes, full of wildness and cruelty.
Antonio was shocked, the so-called mutated monsters were those animals that were once ordinary, mutated after unknown reasons, absorbed the power of the elements into the body and became mutated monsters.
