Chapter 45: Stormhorn Bull

While resting at the waterfall at Black Rock Cliffs, Garr announced the purpose of their trip, which was to collect black honey syrup. Ken, who had never been a talker, listened to Garr's plan and still had no attitude, as if he had anticipated this huge adventure plan of Prince Garr.

So when everyone was shocked, Ken never made any comments, and everyone was surprised and acquiesced in the prince's adventure. In the end, when they learned that the purpose of the trip was to help the wife of the deputy Scondona to cure his foot disease, they felt that it was a worthy adventure, and even the prince wished to help Abes regardless of his safety, and of course they did not hesitate.

After Ken led the team into the Maka Heights, he did not stay away from the Alien River along the way, but slowly marched along the Alien River to the depths of the Maka Heights, so that they would not lose their way when they returned.

As Ken's team progressed, the upper reaches of the river became quieter and quieter, and the river was almost static in this section, and the surface of the river was calm like a mirror. On both sides of the river, dense water trees slowly appeared, the trunks of which were twisted and strange, and countless vines and plants grew in the middle of the trees. The dense woods and grasses and vines made it difficult to walk for a while, so Ken led his apprentice Ali and the two of them in front of him with machetes in front of him, and Ma Anna and Rigyangda walked in the middle and rode on the back of the purple concubine, and Heijia and Man Awang and Jia Ear Pads behind.

"Moo......" Suddenly there was a low strange sound in front of me.

Everyone stopped when they heard this, and at this time, Rigyangda, who was riding on the back of the purple concubine, looked in the direction of the voice in front of her, and suddenly gasped unconsciously. A huge beast and two other beasts could be seen fighting between the sparse rattan in front of them.

The giant beast had two large, straight horns, which grew symmetrically on either side of the head, and were forked at 60 degrees, which was clearly the Bighorn bull that Rigyanda's grandfather used to describe to her when she was a child.

Stormhorn bulls are extremely powerful and mighty, they can defeat all demons and monsters, and when he was a child, his grandfather often described to Rigyangda the mythical beast Stormhorn in the hearts of the Antmen.

"Front...... That's a Stormhorn! Rigyanda lowered her voice as she turned back to show Anna. Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and Hei Jia first calmed down and gently walked to Ken in front of him, ready to cooperate with him at any time.

Among them, only Black Armor and Ken are of the same generation, Black Armor is also an excellent mentor, he is 2.16 meters tall, strong, and experienced, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting Prince Jia'er. Black Armor doesn't like to talk either, but after a period of contact between him and Ken, the two have a tacit understanding, they basically make eye contact, and their opinions are almost identical in common idiosyncratic events. Although the two wonderful elders rarely communicate with each other, they respect each other.

Ken seemed to know that Black Armor was coming, and he looked back at Black Armor and raised his hand to point ahead. Heijia immediately understood what he meant and nodded, he knew that Ken was going to go to the front to observe.

Ken carefully stepped over a few vines and crouched in the grass in front of him, gently pushing aside the weeds that stood in his way.

I saw a small green lawn about 10 meters away, and next to the grass more than a meter high on the edge of the lawn, a stormhorned cow and two centipedes were facing each other. It seems that the territory where the two centipedes were feeding was encroached upon by the later Stormhorn Ox, and they were working together to drive the Stormhorn Bull and swear their sovereignty.

The wild centipedes are relatively docile, with two big creatures reaching about 3 meters tall and 7 meters long, with sickle-like tusks brushing at the Stormhorn Cow, and they hissed at the same time to warn the Stormhorn Cow not to approach.

Although they are said to be temperamental and brute-forced, they tend to be relatively friendly to other small animals such as centipedes, slenderfoot beetles, and jumping bears, which are also herbivores. This is a male bull that is staggering 3.5 meters tall, 5 meters long, and weighs at least 5 tons.

Obviously, even in the face of two adult centipedes, with the strong size and weight of the Stormhorn Ox, it can completely ignore the two centipedes. Today, however, the Stormhorn showed enough patience to bow its head in front of the two angry centipedes. Holding its big nose, the Stormhorn cautiously leaned over to the two centipedes, sniffing left and right.

"Hiss......" One of the centipedes, provoked by the Stormhorn Bull, angrily swooped a few steps towards the Stormhorn. The vigilant Stormhorn was precautionary, and it quickly jumped back two steps to avoid the threat of centipedes. The centipede watched the bull retreat, and immediately after that, it retreated back to keep in line with its companion. Seeing this, the mischievous Stormhorn Bull followed two steps further, and the trick was repeated.

Centipedes are lower animals after all, they do not have the high intelligence of mammals such as the Stormhorn Bull, and they don't know how tired and flexible they are after being provoked several times by the Stormhorn Bull.

In the end, the Stormhorn Bull probably felt tired of playing this game, and finally let go of the two cute centipedes and turned away, generously giving up this lush lawn to the centipedes, and walked into the depths of the dense forest.

The two centipedes saw that the Stormhorn was gone, and continued to graze leisurely, as if nothing had happened before, and slowly crawled side by side towards the southwest corner of the lawn.

Ken hid in the grass and watched the Stormhorn disappear before slowly standing up, turning back and waving to the crowd, motioning for them to follow and continue on their way.

"But uncle, the centipede is still there!" Riding on the back of the purple concubine, Rigyanda couldn't help but point to the centipede in front of her to remind Ken that she had seen the situation clearly.

"Don't be afraid." Ken looked back at Rigyanda, said a rare word, and continued walking towards the lawn in front of him.

"Sister, don't worry, you can trust Uncle Ken completely." Maana, who sat behind Rigyanda, comforted her.

So everyone followed Ken carefully across the lawn, and sure enough, the two centipedes saw that the strange Ant-Man did not take them as a threat, and still ate the grass leisurely.

The sound of grazing wafted on the peaceful edge of the river.

While Rigyanda was still looking back at the two grazing centipedes, Ken had already crossed the lawn first. Ken gently brushed aside a row of banana leaves on the edge of the lawn, revealing a lake in front of him. Ken's gaze went from near and far, looking at the peaceful surface of the lake, the expression on his face did not change, and he just stood there quietly without any reaction.

The people who followed behind were a little curious as to why Ken stood motionless, and everyone came over one after another. When they saw the vast lake in front of them, they were silent.

No one expected that there would be such a vast and great lake in the Maka Heights, and they could not help but marvel at the beauty and wonder of nature at the same time, and it was clear that this is the source of the Mana River.
