The one down the hill is comparatively fatter.

Fitch and Tron used all the ropes, and it took a full day to finally descend to the bottom of the cliff and dissect the Horned Wing Beast before coming to this conclusion. Tron harvested the materials used in the second enhancement ceremony, and Feige received an answer and more questions.

What exactly is the Cult of Destruction and Rebirth for? What does increasing the number of wild creatures have to do with their behavior of infiltrating the fortress and modifying the magic circle? On the way back, Feige kept thinking about this question, but in the end he didn't find anything. He believes that it is not a problem of brain power or divergent thinking, but rather the lack of information that can connect the two.

He began to get worried. Because the more information that is missing in the middle, the larger the scale of the other party's plan, the more considerable the harm that may be caused. He is just a small person in the entire Sunset Mountain Church Fortress, one theory is that the sky falls and there is a high one on top, but there is another theory that "there are no eggs under the nest".

They had just overturned the horn-winged beast's nest and eaten the eggs inside, so they had a first-hand experience with this.

Isn't it good to give a safe and stable environment to study magic, why did I have an accident as soon as I came to the Ice Peak Fortress? Fei Qi even suspected that after his intelligence increased, he also gained an unlucky ability similar to Edogawa Death. Of course, this kind of nonsensical thing is just used to relax the tense emotions, and it should not be taken seriously.

With the joy of victory, they returned a little faster than they had gone. In this, there is an extra person who is willing to be obedient and can help people, and the weight that has been lightened by consumption also helps a lot. They didn't encounter any more bad luck on the way, and the animals in the Sunset Mountains were probably too busy giving birth and raising children to take care of them. A few days later, they made it back to the Icepeak Fortress.

Ice Peak Fortress really feels like a fortress this time - it used to be more of a tourist attraction. Cael took Wu Mama and Ramsden to bring out the traps, obstacles, and garrison equipment from the warehouse and set them up. Although the drawbridge was lowered, the stout metal gates were closed, and the walls were covered with a protective coat.

"Is this the armor of the city walls?" Feige walked under the walls, looking at the strange thing in front of him. From a distance, it looked like a giant fishing net covering the wall tiles, and when you got closer, you found that it was a shiny material similar to spider silk, with many jagged spikes attached to it irregularly. Needless to say, the spikes, whether they are held and stepped on or scraped, will leave a large number of terrible wounds. Interestingly, the spider-like material here is very smooth, very malleable, and can be pulled for a long time. It has a good rebound ability, and the longer it is, the thinner, and the easier it will be to slip. Once rebounded, slenderness and toughness equals sharpness, and the serrated blade above deepens damage, making it a difficult defensive tool.

Of course, this thing is useless against siege ladders, and is simply used against beasts with the ability to climb walls. After all, human intelligence can come up with more than a dozen ways to crack it, but the beasts don't have it. Feige's idea was tested, and he found four four-legged beasts that had fallen to their deaths in the moat that was about to dry up.

The thick head and broad shoulders with solid muscles present a formidable trapezoidal structure that ends in a mouth full of sharp teeth. This vicious, large, canine-form beast has naturally red eyes, and even when it falls in a pool of blood, it looks cold and terrifying.

"It's a hyena, two in the prime of life, and the other two are small, certainly no more than a year. They tried to climb the walls, but were thrown off by the disintegration nets, bleeding to death. Tron observed, then frowned, "Feiqi, maybe you're right. These two small hyenas were born last fall, not much older than Midnight, and they are not yet old enough to come out to hunt, let alone follow their parents out to attack human territory. ”

The hyena is a very threatening creature for human villages. As adults, they are 1.8 meters tall at the shoulders and more than three and a half meters long, and with their powerful limbs they can quickly catch up with panicked fleeing horses, not to mention slow humans who only move on their legs. With the huge impact brought by his weight of eight hundred catties, coupled with the ability to suddenly jump and attack, even the heavily armed knights did not dare to confront it head-on. Unless it has crust thicker than its claws and teeth, any living creature is a favorite target for hyenas. Even if they are all hiding inside sturdy houses, the garbage of human communities can still attract hyenas.

It's a dangerous creature that "sees it and destroys it."

"Hey, Tron and Feige are back, and they've captured a goblin!" Ramsden's voice came from the city, and then Chubby's round head with an iron helmet and his cheerfully waving arms came into view. "Wait a minute, I'll go and call Wumama. Two people can raise the gates, so wait at the gates of the city!"

After a while, Feige heard the sound of chains driving gears and gates slowly rising. The gate didn't rise very high, and Tron and Feige had to bend down and go in. Kelie greeted them right behind the gate, keeping a straight face, and shouted "Close!" as soon as they passed through the gate, he shouted inside, "Close!"

"What, what's wrong?" Feige asked, frowning. After a winter of getting along with each other, and the fact that Feige had become a full member through the Enhancement Ritual, he didn't cower in front of Kylie like Tron did. "If you're worried about the bad guys behind us, you can raise the drawbridge and then open the floodgates. ”

"There aren't that many people. But you two are back, and you can do the same. Kailie raised his hand and pointed at his friends: "Why is this goblin not tied up with a rope?"

"My goblin, it's not a captive or a prisoner, let's ...... Let's be an informant. ”

"Informant, you're not kidding, can you trust the goblin, let it live outside the castle, don't come in and become the enemy's insider. Goblins can't do anything else, and they're the best at secretly wiping their necks while people are sleeping!"

Peng Peng doesn't understand lingua franca, but he can read other people's expressions. Seeing that Kylie hated himself, he bared his teeth at Kyre. Kylie snorted, "Look, the wild is untamable, and it's all trouble to bring in." ”

"That's my trouble, too, I'll take a fancy to him. Feige thought for a moment and reached out to grab Midnight. Although he was reluctant in every way, Midnight would never tear down Feige, so he honestly let go of his claws and honestly put them on his friends' heads.

Punpeng is about half the height of Feige, but the width of his head is about the same. The rugby-shaped skull that sits horizontally has the natural advantage of providing a more spacious shelter for Midnight.

It was only slightly dissatisfied with the taste of the goblins.

"It helped us in the fight, and it also indirectly saved my hair. Feige pointed to his head. The wound from the midnight scratch healed, but the missing hair didn't grow back as quickly. "Kele, don't worry about these things I can handle by myself now, let's talk about the situation of the Ice Peak Fortress!"

"The fortress is fine, but it was attacked last night. You've definitely seen the bodies in the ditch, and you didn't have anyone to clean them up before you came back, so that's your job. Kele thought for a moment before adding, "None of them were hurt. ”

"It's good that it's not hurt. Feige pointed at Tron: "This time we went out and encountered two horn-winged monsters, and in the end we killed them all, and brought back two materials for the enhancement ceremony." Do you have enough auxiliary materials in the castle twice now?"

"Enough. When I bought the accessories for your enhancement ceremony, I bought three more sets by the way, and I just had to wait for Lord Kiplin to come back. Kele thought about it, and for the first time, he didn't object. "If one of the two of them is willing to take the risk of failure, there can be a person who can try. Tron, if you want to, go talk to the two of them. The potion materials are yours and we have no authority to deal with them. Feige, come with me, I have something to ask you. ”

Kelie turned and walked away, and began to climb the walls along the steps of the inner courtyard. Feige asked Tron to look at his friends first, and hurried to follow.

Witch Marma and Ramsden lowered the gate and came over to greet their friends, but they were glared back by Kyrie and gave up the chance to hug Feige. The unsmiling Cayette took Feige around the passage on the city wall for half a circle, and then patted on an ordinary battlement: "There is a problem here, can you see it?"

"I'll take a look. Fei Qi first looked at the relative position of the place, and saw that it was exactly where the raiders of the Cult of Destruction and Rebirth had climbed up. After having doubts in his heart, he used his eagle eye global vision to change the angle to observe the city bricks outside, and soon found the problem.

"It shouldn't be moss...... I'm sure there's a stain on the wall, dark green. Are you referring to this?"

"Yes, that's it. What else can you find?"

"I feel like you're going to ...... school" Feige looked at it for a while, but he couldn't tell anything from the color. So he pulled out a handkerchief, poked his head out, moved it with his mind, wiped it on the stain, and retrieved it.

"Some kind of potion, it still smells...... Fei Qi rubbed his nose and looked surprised: "After a winter, it still smells after so long, but why haven't we smelled it?"

"Because the snow suppresses the smell, and the water from the melting snow is just right for it to work. Kylie sighed: "This is a bait, a very old formula, because it is not safe, so it is not used now, I don't know who turned it out again." It attracts wild beasts, as if beckoning everyone to eat. You can think about how attractive this message is at the beginning of spring. ”

"Can you get rid of it?"

"It's a little late. After the smell is released, the beast will come. If they find something they haven't eaten, they may leave, but if they don't find the location of the potion, they will keep searching, which is more difficult to deal with. The hyenas were the first ones, and there will definitely be more to come. ”

"If you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't, you can hide. As long as they are not fed, they may fight each other. Feige thought for a moment, then asked, "What are you worried about, it won't be just for the beasts in the mountains, right?"

"You're smart. Kylie nodded: "The beast has no brains, it acts with instinct, and it is easy to deal with." What I'm really worried about is people. I've had the feeling these days, as if someone was being watched, that some kind of plan was unfolding, and that the Icepeak Fortress was in danger. ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's do what we can do first, and then worry about the impact of tension and fear. ”

Kyle looked at Feige and nodded vigorously, "Master Kiplin's assessment of you is correct. So there's one thing you have to do: give them three an enhancement ceremony before tonight. Don't worry about the adjuvants, Master Kiprin has already prepared in advance when you are studying the circle. What we've been lacking is just glands. ”

"There are only two copies of the Horned Wing Beast. ”

"There are two adult hyenas outside, two small ones, which together are enough for one piece. It seems that Kelie had premeditated: "Ramsden's training is not yet at home, and the effect of the hyena is relatively weak, which is suitable for his current level." ”
