Chapter 0065: Griffin
The cavalry split the heads of the water ghosts, collected the alchemy materials, and cleaned and packed them nearby.
Sean squatted beside the crate with the lord - he wasn't used to the butcher's craft.
Professional businessmen, tasting items is simply handy.
The little man pushed the silver ring of the frame, squinted his eyes and opened the compartment between the goods, and the fragments poured out.
"White ground painted pottery, tin carved decorative pottery, according to the traces of layered arrangement, at least two months of running, should be from the south. They waited for the bandit frenzy on the other side of the mountain range to end before entering central Hangena, but unfortunately an accident still happened. ”
Adam closed the dead man's eyes with his hand, rubbed the blood on it, and pinched the red away.
He got up and walked back to the side of the hill and opened his mouth to analyze.
"The blood stains did not stain the land, this happened in the past two days, maybe even last night."
The ruts on the ground twitched suddenly, like a distraught painter spilling on the paper.
"The attack was sudden, and the monster came at the horses. Look, jump out directly, and freak out the coachman.
That thing can fly, kill it directly, kill one on the spot, and the other end should also break the noose, plant it in the pit, and break its neck. ”
After walking a short distance along the trail, I opened the broken branches, and saw a few pieces of broken wood and two silent bodies.
【Pack Horse Carcass (Fresh)】
【Coachman's corpse】
"Loaded."
Lukka came over to report, and Sean explained the scene to him, of course, using the words of the lord just now.
【Explore the scene of the accident and get a little loot】
Adam also received a note prompt at this time.
【Golden Crow X1 Silver Python X30 Bronze Wolf X75】
【Fine Ceramics】
【Stoneware tableware】
【Pewter】
……
They had more than a dozen war horses, which were simply packed with cloth and leaves, and they could all be taken away by simply distributing the weight.
But Adam found something else in the leaf gap.
The mountain breeze was gentle, and a dark brown feather was caught in a branch, like a prey trapped in a trap, dancing and trying to break free.
【Flying Monster Feather (Bloodstained)】
If you are patient enough, you can return to the stronghold with more loot. 】
"It's wounded, let's go take a look, be careful of the attack, stay vigilant."
Adam gave the command, rode his horse for traces, and led the team to action again.
The further he went, the tighter his brows locked, the horse's hooves became haste, and he even prepared a steel sword in advance—the clue was the direction of the stronghold.
The trail continued throughout the afternoon, increasing in blood clots and damaged feathers as time and distance lengthened.
Even, they found half of the horse's body, which was left on the site of a simple meal.
The behemoth seemed to be on the run, it was a little weak and hungry, so it had to attack the caravan in exchange for a meal, and after a few quick bites, it set out again.
Adam relaxed, and they rode fast horses, without the burden of goods, and hurried with all their might, so that they could return to the stronghold before the sun set tomorrow.
Mi Rat's restless night.
The morning when the dew was shattered.
By the time the glimmer of light shines through the branches of the trees, the brown snake is already crouching in its burrow.
The march slowed down, and the cavalry was a little tired.
Sean was almost faint from exhaustion, lying on his stomach in the saddle and struggling to rest, while Lukka helped him with the rope.
"Thankfully."
From here, the trail began to deviate from the avenue, turning into the wooded area, and had slightly deviated from the stronghold.
"Its destination is somewhere else, or it may be physically exhausted and trying to hide and recover."
Adam probably understood what was ahead of him.
He left a few outside to guard the horses, and with the rest of his men, he marched into the bushes in full gear.
The mud bore leaves footprints, and it's a good place to hide, with the occasional insect crawling over the tips of the boot and being ruthlessly trampled to pieces.
Suck!
Qing Yin echoed with a warning, and a flock of bamboo shoots and birds swooped up in a panic.
Adam noticed that the minimap had appeared in blue"? ”。
At the same time, several red dots were expelled by the screams.
It was already close at hand, the branches were shaking, and the smell of the wind mixed with the fishy smell hit the face, which was a little disgusting.
Aside from the last of the plants, the boulder clings to the moss and weeds, and the monster gasps below.
【Royal Gryphon (Severely Injured)】
"Hehe, what a coincidence."
Adam led the team into the open field.
On the Tegangda lawn, they had a brief eye contact.
The fork-tailed dragon had been pierced by a steel spear, but I didn't expect it to survive.
The half-cut chain was still wrapped around its claws, and several arrow shafts were exposed behind its back.
The griffon lay on its side, its inky pupils filled with rage, its chest heaving, its lacerations opening and closing, its flesh and fascia covered by blood clots.
"Look at yourself,"
Adam stepped forward with broken feathers and crouched down in front of the proud eagle's head.
"Such a strong desire to survive! To be honest, I appreciate it more than the muddy guys. ”
The wings fluttered weakly, and the snort intensified.
[From the head to the tail, the griffin can be sold for a good price. You know that if you stick the steel sword under your neck, you'll get a good catch. 】
Adam didn't do anything, but it had passed out, and the body would not be at peace if no one cared for it.
The map is deliberately marked, which means that this griffin is not so simple.
He raised his arm, and the cavalrymen understood the meaning of the gesture: raise their weapons and shrink the defensive circle.
As the giant beast lost its movement, the red dots approached again, scattered and scattered, about a dozen.
They walked slowly from the bushes, their pupils scarlet, their mouths quivering, and sticky saliva pouring out from the gaps in their fangs.
【Wild Dog X11】
[You're guarding their dinner, so the other party plans to change the menu.] 】
"Come closer, watch out for your leg bones and neck."
Adam joins the defensive front and protects the griffons behind him.
Wow, wow!
They barked and pounced, their moss-mottled and sour stench.
Adam blocked the bite with his steel sword, and with a sudden force, he slashed into his mouth.
Kick the other dingos in the ribs.
It felt like kicking on a solid haystack, heavy, the ribs were hard, and the diaphragm hurt a little in the instep.
The others reacted poorly, and could only rely on each other's cover and support to gain an advantage from the wild dog siege.
Attacks alternate like waves.
Adam erected a dike, moved and moved, and fought at any time in the most dangerous places to defend the line.
They stayed here to fight, and the sun cleared, and the pillars of light broke through the cracks in the leaves like sharp arrows and pierced into the surface.
Wild dogs used to be domestic, and when wars destroyed their homes, they had to gather and attack all kinds of animate monsters.
Maybe it's a water ghost, maybe it's a carrion......
In short, something poisons the brain, turns it into a muddle of attackers, gnawing everywhere, forever hungry.
The corpses had piled up, and the horn of the counterattack sounded at some point.
Adam broke the formation first, and swept away the remnants of the opposing force with his lightly wounded cavalry.
[Battle End, Wounded 4, Killed None, Fame 10]
"Take away the dog fat and teeth, there is acid in the meat, we can't touch it, leave it to it."
Adam commanded the end as usual.
The strong man was about to start dealing with the griffin, but when he heard this, he looked over in a daze.
He had to explain.
"Oh, yes, I'm going to save it. Go to the horses and bring the potion, find firewood, and make a fire. ”
The crowd was scattered and busy.
Adam crouched down again, remembering the royal Floma.
"Some inspiration is flashing through your head, why don't you try it?" 】
He took off his leather gloves and stroked them gently on the warm hide.
The fluff is a little hard, and something special pops into my mind.
The silver light of the lord's ring dimmed, as if something had struck his brain from his fingertips as if something had been running up his veins.
"It's emotion, it's feeling...... Anger, unwillingness, longing? ”
Adam withdrew from that state, and immediately felt a slight ringing in his ears, his skin tightened, and for a few moments, he even suspected that he was seriously injured.
[Elves can listen to all things, and the dwarves preserve it with their skills, and bestow this talent on those who are recognized through their rings.] 】
