"I, do you people who come back from grazing every day only know how to count the number of livestock? I don't even know that there are other magical beasts mixed in it! ”
Ning Yue scolded, and drew his sword out of the sheath. Ω Net. However, before he could swing it, two waves of roaring wind shot out, grazed his ears and caused a buzzing sound, and pierced straight into the fence.
Zheng!
The first feathered arrow was broken by the claw of the black shadow that the man was standing up, but the second arrow, which took advantage of the time difference, perfectly penetrated the opponent's powerful forearm defense and was nailed to its chest.
Roar, roar, roar!
Suddenly, the beast roared, its claws slapped indiscriminately, breaking off the tail feathers of the arrow that were still outside its body, and then it swooped down, digging up a large area of dirt, and the gray color filled the fence.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Striding to Ning Yue's side, the feather hunting continuous arrows, relying on the memory of the moment just now, the three arrows from top to bottom were connected, whistling through the dust and nailed into the haze.
At the same time, the rest of the disturbed livestock continued to muddy the situation, the fence continued to tremble, and the sight of several people was chaotic.
"Don't forget what you said yourself, I'll deal with the enemy."
Feather Hunter snorted coldly, jumped up and kicked on the railing crossbar, climbed up the side to the pillar of the roof, condescendingly attached to the pillar with the strength of his legs, and the big bow in his hand was raised again, and in the downward tilt, another feather arrow caught the string of the pull.
This time, however, he was slow to shoot, his eyes fixed on a corner of the inner side of the fence, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In that position, above the ground, there was a hole dug in the ground!
"Hmph, what a cunning monster. Draw some of the strong defenders over and let them see what they are doing wrong, and they still need to be checked on a large scale here. ”
With that, the feather hunt fell directly from mid-air and inserted the arrow back into the quiver behind his waist. Not far away, the receptionist hurried away, naturally doing what the other party had ordered.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yue asked suspiciously, in fact, in his heart, he also had some guesses.
Snorting and laughing, Yu Hunt turned his head and replied, "When this group of livestock calms down, the answer will naturally be known." I'm curious as to how you got the problem there. ”
Ning Yue pointed to a few fences next to him, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The weather is gradually getting colder, and the wind leaks here and does not keep warm, although there is a lot of straw on the ground, but the effect is limited after all. If you look at the rest of the fence, the herds of livestock are gathered together to keep warm. Only here just now, there is one who is staying in the corner, very unsociable. I looked at it a few more times, and now something wasn't quite right. ”
"It's not quite right, that guy just now is completely different from these livestock, how can he be confused when he comes back?" Feather Hunt was puzzled for a while, and suddenly, he remembered the scene he had just seen from a high place.
Next to the frenzied herd, at the edge of a hole that had been dug up, in addition to a few blood stains and broken arrows, there was a limp and collapsed animal, which looked like it had been stolen from its bones.
At the same time, Ning Yue said in a deep voice: "There is a story, I don't know if you heard it when you were a child, it is called a wolf in sheep's clothing. ”
Suddenly, the cold wind swept by, whistling in the unclosed animal pen, Yu Hunter trembled subconsciously, only to feel a slight chill climbing up his back.
"You mean, that unknown demonic beast was dressed in the skin of an animal before, mixed in inside!"
"At least, that's what I saw. The isolated animal I saw at that time had no vitality in its eyes, and something seemed to be wriggling in it. Moreover, it seems to be deliberately hiding something from the rear. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Yue suddenly took a step forward and opened three deadbolts one after another, leaving the gate of the fence open. At this moment, the more than a dozen livestock inside had calmed down and gathered aside. They looked at Ning Yue's entry, but they just turned their heads together to look at it, and there was no other reaction.
"Hey, don't go in all of a sudden!"
In the rear, Yu Hunt hurriedly drank and pulled out a folding crossbow pinned to his waist, and at the same time plucked the short arrow to wind. When he hurried to catch up with the other party, he saw that he directly grabbed the entire animal skin on the ground.
Ning Yue swept the animal skin in his hand and hummed, "Except for the head and hooves, all the flesh and blood in the skin have been shaved clean. However, the beast returned with the rest of the livestock. ”
Frowning, Yu Hunt looked down at the hole in the corner, and wondered: "Could it be that a hole was dug here first, but the demonic beast came out and killed a livestock, and then ......"
Before he finished speaking, he himself felt that that kind of situation was less likely than Ning Yue's bizarre judgment. If it is true that a hole is dug first, and then a single livestock in the herd is hunted, it is absolutely impossible to do it quietly. Besides, outside the fence, there are many strong people staring. Even if they are negligent in their duties, there is no reason to miss such a big movement.
Seeing the change in Yu Hunt's eyes, Ning Yue casually put down the animal skin, nodded and said, "It seems that you have also thought of it, it is unlikely that you will dig a hole first." In addition, the soil here is thick, and it is not easy to excavate. I don't think it's possible that the monster dug such a suitable place at one time. If you dig multiple holes from the bottom up to find a suitable location, it is likely to be exposed outside the house, and there is no reason why no one has been there for a few days. ”
"What do you mean......" Suddenly, Feather Hunt came to his senses, leaned down in front of the hole, grinned and continued in a trembling voice: "They have been digging underneath, using their companions to dig down from above, to confirm the right position, and then break through from the inside?" ”
"Specifically, let's listen to the people who were in charge of guarding this place before."
Ning Yue smiled and raised his hand to point, and at the gate of this beast house, several figures hurriedly came.
"What's wrong, Youxian?"
A burly man ran up in a hurry, looking at it almost two meters high. He rushed into the fence where Ning Yue and the others were, looked at the animal skin on the ground and the conspicuous hole in the ground, and suddenly slapped his head with his big hand and shouted: "Yes, I didn't think that the demonic beast actually came out of the ground." ”
"What, underground?"
The receptionist hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and his eyes changed violently.
"In this way, every time those demonic beasts outside attack fiercely, they are actually just feints, but in fact, they are trying to attract the strong people sitting here...... Every time, we thought that there was an omission somewhere, and the monster was let in, which led to the hunting of livestock, but we didn't expect it to be like this. ”
"This little brother and this young lady, admire. You just came here and there was a problem, and I thanked Xiong Haitai. Leave the rest to us. Hmph, watch me go down and catch one and kill the other! ”
The brawny man roared again and leaped forward.
"Wait a minute!"
Ning Yue hurriedly drank it, but it was too late.
Boom!
The strong man who called himself Xiong Haitai fell, but he did not enter the hole as he wished, and his legs successfully entered, but when he reached his waist, he could not go down anymore and was stuck in the hole.
"Pull him up, quick!"
After drinking again, Ning Yue grabbed Xiong Haitai's big hand, and several people who came one after another also took a hand and dragged him out of the hole together. Fortunately, the demonic beasts that may exist below did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack.
patting the ash on his body, Xiong Haitai scolded: "What kind of ghost and demon beast, I don't know how to dig a bigger hole." Many of the ones they attacked were taller than Lao Tzu. I can't even get down, how do they get out! ”
"Those monsters are bigger than you?" Yu Hunt was startled, looked at the size of the hole again, and wondered: "Is it because we are early now, and the hole has not been dug completely?" ”
Another strong man snorted, "What else could it be!" We've fought with those monsters, and it's clear. You two get out of the way, let's dig this place bigger and go down and see how it goes. ”
The words were confirmed, and several strong men stepped forward together, and the person in charge of the reception reacted, and hurriedly rushed out of the animal house to find suitable tools.
"I don't think there's any need to dig it, it's just that big. If you don't believe me, you can go to another fence and see the fence where the animals that have been attacked before are located. I think it will happen. ”
Ning Yue said lightly and stepped aside.
"It's okay, there's still time anyway."
A strong man nodded, and raised his hand to point to the location of the fence three places in front of him.
"If I'm not mistaken, several livestock died there the night before. By the way, the most expensive snowflake cattle should be checked, they are the main target of hunting. ”
"There is no need to check the fattest and most expensive cattle." Ning Yue reminded again.
However, it provoked a few blank eyes.
"Boy, you're just lucky enough to have some hints on the first day. We people, but we have been fighting those demonic beasts for several days, and we have survived until now, and we have the courage not to run. Don't be presumptuous in front of us, call the shots! ”
One of the powerhouses glared at Ning Yue fiercely, then turned around and walked towards the front fence. On his back, a jet-black greatsword trembled lightly with his steps.
The rest of the people, except for the strong man Xiong Haitai at the beginning, all of them looked disdainful and began to spread out to inspect the fences.
"After a few days of fighting, they couldn't find out the problem, could it be that they also have muscles in their heads?"
Yu Hunt snorted coldly, leaned over to Ning Yue's side again, and deliberately lowered his voice and whispered, "Why did you stop that strong man just now, it seems that the size is wrong at a glance?" ”
At the same time, Xiong Haitai also strode over and said with a smile: "This little brother, my brothers are used to being arrogant, don't be like them." I think you're not an ordinary person, so there must be something else, right? ”
Glancing at the animal skin on the ground, Ning Yue replied: "It's that animal skin is the wrong size, it's a livestock that hasn't fully grown up, it can be regarded as the age of a teenager, and its size is average." But that's right, it's not good to hide too big monsters in animal skins in the herd, and there are more flaws. Brother Xiong, you have fought with those demonic beasts, think about it carefully, every night the demonic beasts that can blend into the Dao are compared to those outside? ”
Syllable!
Raising his hand again and patting his head suddenly, Xiong Haitai nodded and said, "Yes, why didn't I pay attention, none of the ones I fought in it before stood taller than me!" ”
"That way, it's all right."
Ning Yue's eyes widened, revealing a sly smile.
"It was said before that the hunted livestock was only partially eaten and not taken whole. Actually, that's because those small monsters don't have the ability to take the whole livestock away. Moreover, it was not eaten on the spot. All you see is a part of the dead livestock bitten off by the flesh, which is probably carried away through a hole in the ground. ”
With that, he looked at the hole again.
"The large beasts feint from the outside, and the smaller ones use the burrows to carry away the meat they hunt. If it's just Warcraft, I don't think it's possible to have such a resource. Most likely, someone is behind them. Moreover, there is another point that these magical beasts can't do, and someone must be cooperating with them. ”
