Chapter 7 Falcon Fangs
The afternoon sun baked the land hot, and the white mist next to the puddle blocked the dark shadows that came to drink.
The dark shadow slowly approached the puddle, occasionally looking up. The vague figure gradually became clear, it looked like a wild boar, with three fangs side by side on either side of its mouth, the longest one in the middle, a small one on the top of its nose, three more on its head forward, and a few scattered on its neck, and its front legs thick and small in its back.
This...... Could it be the legendary "Falcon Fang"? He looked at the boss Nan Zichen with suspicion. It doesn't look much different from a wild boar, is it that powerful?
"This is the Falcon Fang?" He Ku couldn't help but ask.
"Shh~", the second Nan Zihao turned around to stop He Ku's question, and his gaze continued to return to the wild boar-like animal. It hovered around the puddle, looked around, and saw that there was no movement, so it lowered its head and sucked the water in the puddle that was slightly bubbling with white mist.
"Boom~" A rush of footsteps came from a distance, and five strange-looking animals rushed down from the hillside to surround the wild boar. Their eyes were fierce, their eyes were as sharp as eagle's, their U-shaped beaks were lined with irregular serrated fangs, their heads were covered with spikes, their half-length necks were covered with scales, and a row of spikes reached their shoulders, their front clutches were feathered with wings, which were more like wings than their front paws, their hind legs were strong, their toes were sharper than eagles, and their long tails swayed in the air as if they were cobras dancing in the air.
The wild boar was so frightened that he panicked and tried to find a spare time to run out. It was too late at this moment, and the wild boar should have felt desperate in the face of these slender monsters that were more than two meters tall, and it could only prick up its fangs and howl wildly. These monsters bent their long necks, bared their teeth, and stared at the wild boars, from their mouths from time to time saliva down the whiskers of their jaws.
The wild boar was surrounded by a mass and could only spin in place. From time to time, the wild boar looked for an escape opportunity, and it suddenly ran to the left front. A small exit was revealed in front of it, and just as the boar thought it had a glimmer of life, a powerful large paw slapped at the boar, and the boar was kicked back like a football, and the spikes on its back cut through the ground, and the dust flew to the puddle, splashing everywhere.
Not far away, another monster was walking this way, similar in appearance to the five of them, but twice as large as them, stronger and more ferocious. It walked into the circle, and the other five made way for it, and it looked at one of the monsters that had just been exposed, raised its right paw, stretched out its front finger, and slapped it with a fierce rage. As if he had done something wrong, the little one lowered his head and accepted his father's reprimand. The father pointed to the hillside in the distance, and the little one walked slowly towards the hillside with his head down.
At this time, the wild boar is like a lamb to the slaughter, although it has been looking for an opportunity to escape, but in the face of such a powerful creature, no matter how much it tosses, it is in vain. The big monster looked down at the four little ones, and the little ones seemed to understand their father's will, and lowered their heads and walked towards the wild boars. The boar screamed and slammed left and right, and the monster on the far left raised its claws and grabbed directly at the boar's back. The boar violently broke free from the monster's claws.
"Bang~" Another monster smashed into the left side of the boar, and the boar suddenly flew up and flew towards another monster. The boar was pinned to the ground on all fours.
"Huh~" The boar's stomach was directly cut open by the monster's claws, and the wild boar howled and struggled desperately. The monster opened its mouth wide and its sharp teeth cut straight into the boar's throat. For a moment, there was no more sound.
The little monster picked up the boar's carcass and placed it in front of his father. From his father's eyes and expression, it can be seen that his father is very satisfied. The father looked at the four little ones and walked straight forward, and the little monster grabbed the carcass of the boar and followed him and disappeared into the distant hillside.
"Let's go", Nanlan got up and motioned for everyone to follow her.
Dozens of people with weapons passed by the place where the wild boar and the monster were fighting just now, and the second child, Nan Zihao, turned to me and said, "Those few just now are falcon fangs! Father hunted with his children! It was the fanged wolf pig that was killed." ”
He Ku asked curiously, "Where did it go to another falcon tooth just now?"
"You'll find out in a moment!" said Nan Zihao, the second child.
Turning over the small hill in front of you, you will see a low-lying area. The surrounding mountains are rocky, and there are many animal bones. There were several goshawk-like birds circling in the sky, occasionally making long calls. A flock of crows flew around in the distance, perhaps they had already smelled the carrion of dead bodies. On the opposite hill, several wolf-like animals also probed their brains and watched every move in the depression.
Under a dead tree in the depression, there was a falcon fang, which seemed to be the little falcon tooth that had been slapped by his father just now. When it saw us walking towards it, it sat up with its front paws on the ground and its hind legs bent on the ground, and glared at us with a fierce look in its eyes and bared its teeth.
"Big brother, you distract it, I'll find a chance to shoot it in the heart!" Nanlan took the bow from his back.
"Okay!" Nan Zizhi dragged his big stone hammer towards the falcon fang, and the other companions also surrounded the falcons, with weapons.
"Hey!" the third one roared, picked up the sledgehammer and swept it towards the right claw of the falcon fang, the falcon lowered his head, stood up on his hind legs, and spread his wings to easily dodge the three hammers. It seemed to understand the intentions of the group in front of it, and its paws returned to its chest to form a protective position. The boss slashed at the falcon's tail with a long-handled two-handed knife in his hand. The "......" boss cut down except for a crisp sound, but it did not have any effect.
Falcon Fang also seemed to know that this weapon couldn't help it, so he didn't even dodge and took the boss's knife.
"Brothers, you want speed!" Nanlan said loudly with some impatience.
"Big brother and third brother, you two attack its left, five brothers and six brothers attack its right, and the others attack its hind legs, be careful of its wings and tail!" The second brother said to everyone with an iron fan in his hand. He Ku and I don't have much experience, so we can only take our weapons and follow everyone up, and then look at Nanlan standing beside Nanlan with a pout, holding a short sword in her hand, looking at us blankly. The monkey next to him jumped with a small dagger and shouted: "Go ~ go up ......". How could such a cute girl have experienced such a scene, let alone such a ferocious beast in front of her. Seeing her at a loss, but now no one cares about her, and no one cares about her, everyone's goal is focused on the little falcon in front of her.
Although the falcon fang was fierce, he was also a little frightened in the face of the siege of more than 20 people in front of him, and the falcon fang, which was caught between the left and right, spread his wings, kicked the ground with his hind feet, and took off to get rid of the entanglement of this group of people.
Just as it was about to hit the ground, an arrow shot into its chest. The falcon ran forward through the crowd, its wings not flying like a bird, but increasing its speed. It ran forward more than ten meters, slowing down, and blood was spilled behind it. It also has a pile of bones on its left, and a high rock wall on its right. When I looked up, I could see the wild wolf on the hill glaring at it, and the crow of the crow poured into my heart and lungs.
It stopped, and it slowly turned its head, gasping for air, its right paw raised to look at the crowd of people rushing towards it. The little falcon blinked, tears streaming down his sockets to the corners of his mouth and then down the whiskers of his jaw. At this time, it was impossible to tell whether it was tears or saliva, and it could only be seen from its eyes how desperate and lonely it was. The blood in his chest ran down his left paw, already drenching a large area of red earth underground. A crowd of people stood in front of it panting, weapons in hand, watching it.
"Huh~" Suddenly, a long howl pierced the temporarily quiet air in front of him, like a wolf howling and like a goshawk's howl. The little falcon raised its head and craned its neck to look up at the sky. This long howl seemed to be resentment against a group of ruthless people in front of him, and it seemed to be a grievance against the abandonment of his relatives. The little falcon bent its neck, kicked the ground with its hind legs, and slammed into the rock wall to the right.
"Bang......" The rocks on the rock wall fell down with a clatter, and the body of the little falcon fell to the ground, the sharp horns on his head had been broken, and blood flowed down his eyes, not so much blood as tears...... Little Falcon Fang would rather commit suicide than die at the hands of the group of people in front of him, how helpless and sad it is. With such integrity, why would its father abandon it!
Seeing the look on my face, the eldest Nan Zichen seemed to see something, walked up to me and said, "They don't allow the weak and the falcon fangs that have made mistakes to stay in the clan. That's why they're getting stronger and smarter. ”
"Why do we have to hunt them for food?" I asked rhetorically.
The second child, Nan Zihao, also heard my rhetorical question, and said while cutting the meat: "Falcon Fang can eat the flesh of any creature, but we can't." The meat of most animals is as poisonous as the fanged wolfpig. He gasped and continued, "The flesh of the Falcon Fang is the only meat that humans have been able to use as food so far. In order to live, either they eat us or we eat them, and the law of survival of the jungle will not change on any planet!"
The boss and the others have divided the body of the falcon fangs, leaving the head, neck, tail, and internal organs. Everyone walked back with the fresh and tender meat of the falcon teeth. When I went back, I was happier than when I came, and the third child was still humming a little song, making everyone happy from time to time.
I followed the boss Nan Zichen, and I had a question that I couldn't understand, so I asked him: "Boss, so many people can obviously bring back the entire falcon fangs, why do you want to leave a part of it?"
The boss's originally happy face became a little sad: "There is a saying that those who see have a share!"
"This has to start with the fourth......"
