Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Running Beast
After witnessing the legendary monster, Liu Xianyu and his party returned to the reality of completing the task, sitting around the bonfire and eating some dry food, seeing that the night was getting thicker and thicker, and the starry fluorescence began to wander in the forest, leaving Ikatriis and Tangerine to guard the box by the bonfire, Liu Xianyu and Jade walked into the forest behind them with a simple insect net made of branches and rags.
[Look at me!] 】
Jade enthusiastically waved the insect trap net in her hand to chase the fluorescent insects around her, and after a while, she grabbed a lot of them, she squeezed the bag in her hand, and nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the fluorescent light in the bag.
[Hey, Captain Salted Fish, how are you doing over there? 】
Liu Xianyu had also caught a bag full of fluorescent insects at this time, but they were all small insects, and he wanted to try to see if he could find a larger one. Looking at Jade's proud appearance, Liu Xianyu carried the bag in his hand and said:
[It's all small bugs, I want to see if I can find a bigger one.] 】
[That's enough, right?] Large glowworms aren't easy to find. 】
At Liu Xianyu's insistence, Jade accompanied him to look for half an hour, but unfortunately he never found it, and the two of them returned to the direction of the bonfire with two bags of glowworms. Liu Xianyu lifted the bushes and saw Ikatris sitting by the campfire, and Tangerine was already asleep on her lap at this time.
[Shh~]
Ikatris made a small motion, Liu Xianyu and Jade carefully walked around the side of the bonfire, wrapped the two large bags of fluorescent insects in a balloon, until all the insects in it were drowned, and then Jade took out a piece of dry food, melted it with water, and then mixed it with these insects.
[It looks disgusting, can this thing really attract the Running Beast?] 】
Liu Xianyu looked at the large pile of insect corpses and balls made of dry food and looked at Jade suspiciously.
[Don't ask me, I haven't caught a galloping beast either, it's all Terris Sauce told me.] All I know is that the Running Beast likes to eat glowworms, but who knows if it likes dry food or not? 】
Emerald also looked a little less confident, and looked up at Ikatris.
[Don't worry, you can, what we have to do tonight is to have a good rest and then go to capture the Galloping Beast tomorrow with full energy. 】
—————— the dividing line that passed overnight
Liu Xianyu was woken up by Jade early the next morning, and when he woke up full of energy, Liu Xianyu moved his arm.
Where do we put these baits in the first place? 】
Liu Xianyu looked at the bait wrapped in cloth and asked Ikateris.
[Over there, when I passed by yesterday, I saw a small valley blocked at the end. 】
Icatelis said, pointing to a location at the foot of the mountain.
Soon the group came to the valley she mentioned, the small valley was not very large, only a few meters wide, and the end was jammed with various rocks, which was a very suitable place to capture. Ikatris sprinkled the balls as bait on the ground one by one, extending to the outside of the valley little by little, and then the four of them lay on both sides of the valley and began to wait silently, after about an hour Liu Xianyu's jade suddenly lowered his head, Liu Xianyu thought she had found something, but after a closer look, this guy actually dozed off.
[Stupid, wake up! 】
Liu Xianyu stretched out his hand and pushed the jadeite, and the jade looked like she suddenly woke up.
[Ah...... I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep. 】
[Please wipe the saliva from the corners of your mouth before speaking.] 】
[Suck——]
Jade reached out and wiped the saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.
[It's too slow, why hasn't it been so long...... Here it comes! 】
Jade's complaint was only halfway through when she saw a tall pale brown galloping beast swaying along the entrance of the valley, lowering its head and picking up the bait on the ground as it walked, it seemed to like the taste of the bait, and it let out a happy cry while eating, but it didn't know that four pairs of eyes had locked on it.
Liu Xianyu looked up at Ikatriis on the other side, but he didn't expect Ikatelis to gently shake his hand at him, signaling not to worry, Liu Xianyu had to endure his excitement and continue to wait.
Within two minutes, the runaway beast suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, and then at the entrance of the valley, a slightly smaller runaway ran in, and the two runaways happily ate the bait on the ground and walked to the end of the valley little by little.
At this time, Ikatris finally signaled that she could do it, Liu Xianyu and her jumped down from both sides of the valley at the same time, and the two wild beasts found someone behind them and immediately wanted to escape, but there were two humans behind them in front of them, and they screamed in panic.
Ikatrius took the lead in rushing towards the smaller of the two, deftly dodging the attack of the Galloping Beast's spiky beak, and then wrapped her hands around the Galloper's neck and rode on top of the Galloping Beast with a nimble turn.
Liu Xianyu on the other side saw Ikatris's movements and ran over in the same way, who knew that this larger wild beast did not choose to peck Liu Xianyu with its sharp beak, but looked at Liu Xianyu directly with its small eyes.
If you don't attack, there will be no flaws, Liu Xianyu stopped in embarrassment, and one man and one beast began to look at each other awkwardly.
[Goo-goo!] 】
The Running Beast let out an inexplicable cry at Liu Xianyu.
[What the hell, this guy looks weird!] 】
Liu Xianyu shouted at Ikateris while maintaining the confrontation movement. At this time, the Running Beast under Ekatelis's body was already tired of struggling, and began to gradually reduce the range of struggle, Iconelis took the time to look at Liu Xianyu's side, she had never seen the Running Beast actually have such a reaction in the face of humans, so she had to guess and said:
[It probably doesn't feel malice in you, so it's not afraid of you, you try to get a little closer to it and throw some bait at it.] 】
Liu Xianyu listened to Ikatris's words and took a gentle step forward, and the running beast on the opposite side immediately took half a step back, but hesitated when he saw the bait in Liu Xianyu's hand.
In this way, Liu Xianyu broke the bait into small pieces and threw it to the running beast opposite, and after trying to eat a piece, the running beast began to approach Liu Xianyu in small steps, and finally when the bait in Liu Xianyu's hand was about to be eaten, the running beast was already one step away from Liu Xianyu.
Liu Xianyu tried to reach out and touch it gently, but the galloping beast did not react, so Liu Xianyu gently grabbed its neck and turned over and jumped onto the back of the galloping beast, and the galloping beast under him seemed to shake its body twice uncomfortably, but it did not lift Liu Xianyu down, and the voice of the system also sounded in his head at this time.
Ding Ding Ding Dong - The quest capture mount is completed. Earn Protagonist Points x1.
[It's incredible, it seems that you are especially loved by animals.] 】
Ekatelis, on the other side, also relied on fatigue tactics and bait to tame the Galloping Beast under her at this time, and she sat on the Galloping Beast and watched Liu Xianyu's magical taming process and said in admiration.
