Verse 117: This is the Needle Master whom I follow
Once again, the sun released the heat of the whole day and began to set to the west.
The vast forest gradually darkened, and everyone's figures were stretched by the setting sun, completely covering the deep pit trap in front of them.
In the depths of the pit, a monkey-tailed brown bear let out the last roar of its life.
The roar was extremely low, and in an instant, it collapsed in a pool of blood and no longer breathed.
It was almost covered with arrows, and the pit was a mess, littered with broken spiked stakes that had been knocked over by brown bears. The walls of the trap are also not smooth, and it is clear that the monkey-tailed brown bear has spent a lot of effort on this in order to climb out.
Bang.
Mango jumped down first.
He leaned over to check the state of the monkey-tailed brown bear and made sure that the latter was completely dead, so he found a hand and asked the rest of the people to come down and deal with it.
Blood is also collected, which can be exchanged for supplies and cannot be wasted.
The whole bear is too big to be dismembered. Each part of the body would be covered with hemp rope and pulled up by the people on the edge of the trap.
It took about half an hour for the monkey-tailed brown bear's carcass to be disposed of.
Mango led the party and began to return to the camp.
In addition to the corpses of four monkey-tailed brown bears, several monkeys, squirrels, snakes, and a half-elf.
After killing a monkey-tailed brown bear, the half-elf was the first to jump out of the pit to harvest the bear's carcass. As a result, the bear did not die completely, but passed out. Awakened by the pain, it smacked half of the half-elf's waist and kidneys.
With such a heavy injury, and no magic or magic, the half-elf took a few breaths and died completely.
Since then, Mane has been the first to jump out of the trap and personally check the condition of the monkey-tailed brown bear.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the entire team.
The team returned with a full load, and although one companion died, everyone's face welled up with the joy of harvest.
People talked and laughed and went all the way back.
They used to be members of the mercenary group, and they have taken the death of their companions and themselves lightly. Some even rejoiced that the half-elves finally didn't have to suffer on this damn island!
Mango walked at the front of the group, still cautious and preoccupied on reconnaissance for a possible sneak attack.
Three knives walked up from the center of the line.
He hurried a few steps to Mango's side, and took out the map from his arms: "My lord, there are not many bears left. I think we'd better see these heads wiped out tomorrow. We march in this way to minimize the consumption of time and energy. ”
Mane Ge glanced at it and saw Sandao's fingers comparing it on the map, and he knew that the route that Sandao had studied was no different from what he had imagined.
As for the map, Mango had already memorized it. This is the excellent tactical literacy that he once cultivated in the army.
Sandao was worried: "After killing these last three monkey-tailed brown bears, we have to think about what to choose as a target next." ”
"My lord, I don't think the flying squirrels can be touched for the time being. Flying squirrels are small, and the big guys are not very reliable in archery. Most of us are better at melee combat, but the Warcraft-level flying squirrels are able to discharge, which is too restrained for us. ”
"My lord, what do you think of the goal of the crocodile hammertail?"
"On the exchange list, one crocodile-headed hammertail is almost worth two monkey-tailed brown bears. ”
Mango shook his head slightly.
He had encountered the crocodile-headed hammertail python before, and it was very difficult to achieve victory.
"The skin is very thick, and most of our arrowheads are either wooden or bone. Iron arrowheads are rare, and only iron arrows can inflict trauma on alligator-headed hammertails. ”
"If I really want to deal with the alligator-headed hammertail anacond, I can't contain it head-on. The deep pit also does not limit the climbing of the crocodile-headed hammertail anacone. ”
Mango explains why.
"Then our next goal is to choose the manta monkey group. ”
"That's what they're aiming for. ”
"On the exchange list, the value of the manta monkey is not high, but it is better than the quantity. In the forest near the camp, the most wild animals are manta monkeys. ”
"It's just that in this way, we're going to have to compete with them for the manta monkeys. Compared to archery, we are a little worse than them. ”
Sandao analyzed.
He has a precise eye and an accurate assessment of the strength of both sides.
The needle gold side is indeed more long-range firepower, and the needle gold is a very powerful archer with a bow and crossbow. The rest of the crew practiced archery on weekdays. After all, in sea ships, artillery, bows and crossbows are conventional weapons.
Sandao saw the map rolled up, stuffed it back into the inside of his clothes, and took out the exchange list.
Ever since he got this list, he pondered it when he had nothing to do.
The three knives are goblins, and even if they are honest, the shrewdness of the race has not been extinguished. He used to be the leader of the Three Swords Mercenary Group, and the head of the family knew the price of oil, rice, salt and sugar.
"My lord, I've analyzed it. Now that our crossbow has been replaced with a new arm tension crossbow, our hunting efficiency has increased a lot as a result. Other bows and crossbows are negotiable, and it is not cost-effective for us to exchange them for crossbows and so on in a short period of time. Replacing the arm tension crossbow early is tantamount to waste. ”
"What we need most now is iron-headed arrows!"
"Iron production has been low, and I suggest that we exchange all the Iron Arrows in our inventory today before exchanging them for other supplies. ”
Mane Ge nodded and patted Sandao's shoulder: "Okay, you analyzed it very well, just follow this plan." ”
Receiving Mane's recognition and affirmation, a flash of joy quickly flashed in Sandao's eyes.
However, they had a good plan, and when it came time to exchange it at the camp, they were told that the iron-headed arrow had been rounded by needle gold.
"He, they came back earlier, earlier. As soon as I came back, I changed it. "Fat Tongue is in charge of the exchange.
"Last time it was a crossbow, this time it's an iron-headed arrow...... Why can't we get the most valuable item every time?"
"Y-You can come back early, early. Fat Tongue said.
Sandao sneered: "The reason why we returned late is because we spent time on clearing up." Look, here's our harvest for today, four monkey-tailed brown bears!"
"We have hunted so many Silver Monsters, not only in our efforts, but also in the life of one of our members. ”
"As a result, due to the delay in time, we were unable to get the supplies we wanted. Do you think that's reasonable, is that fair?"
"As I remember, the Templar Lord Needle Gold was among the people who promised us fairness. But now, it's not fair at all. ”
"Wait, what's that?"
Sandao's eyes were sharp, and he saw Bai Ya holding an iron cage and walking past the tent in the distance.
Sandao immediately rushed to Bai Ya, his eyes widened, and he was full of anger: "An iron cage? Can anyone explain this to me?"
"Iron production has always been small, is that how you use iron?"
"We wanted an arrow, but you brought it and saw it poured into a cage. Do you know how many iron-headed arrows can be made?!"
Bai Ya was blocked by three knives, looking at the goblin in front of him, although the goblin had a black iron level of cultivation, but Bai Ya was not afraid.
He held the iron cage and looked down at the goblin in front of him by relying on the height of his body: "Lord Sandao, this iron cage is much more useful than you think. ”
"Oh, boy, I'm going to see what good excuses you can find. Sandao hugged his arms and sneered.
Bai Ya smiled: "It seems that you still don't know, just last night, behind the night patrol of Lord Needle Gold, he got the instructions of the gods. He bravely went deep into the night forest alone, and found the silver manta monkey that had escaped and killed the flying squirrels in the middle of the night. ”
"Lord Needle Gold killed the silver manta monkey, and even wiped out the largest group of flying squirrels in the camp, bringing back a number of flying squirrel monsters that had passed out. ”
"This iron cage is used to hold black iron flying squirrels and bronze flying squirrels. ”
"With these live flying squirrels, Lady Zidi will be able to keep experimenting, and the hope of concocting a potion against the flying squirrels has greatly increased. ”
"We should all know that with our current means and strength, there is a great risk of clearing the flying squirrel colony. ”
"What?" Sandao and the others all showed a look of consternation.
Even Mane Ge has a constricted pupil.
It was indeed the first time they had heard the news.
They were all seasoned men, and they knew very well in their hearts that these new achievements of Needle Gold were greater than those of the four monkey-tailed brown bears.
Because the four monkey-tailed brown bears are easy to deal with, it is not easy to get rid of a silver manta monkey flying around, as well as the largest group of flying squirrels.
"Emperor Shengming ...... again Did you point to Lord Kim?"
"That's good luck!"
"Templar ......"
"It's not luck, who dares to wander alone in the forest? ”
"It seems to be a bargain, but it's actually very difficult. The silver manta monkey is not seriously injured...... Needle-sama is truly heroic. ”
People talked.
The smile on Bai Ya's face became even worse, and his head gradually rose up.
Although Bai Ya has heard such comments many times.
Throughout the day, the people in the camp talked about this record of needle gold, and there was no one who did not praise it.
Now Bai Ya still feels proud, glorious and joyful when he hears the comments of these people.
"This is the needle gold lord I follow......"
Mane Ge was silent, his hand subconsciously stroked the handle of the hammer behind his back, and secretly made a decision: "We can't go on like this, we must fight with Needle Gold as soon as possible! A sacred duel...... The Templars would not have any reason to turn me down. ”
