Chapter 13: Killing
In order not to panic the townspeople, the mayor concealed the information of the unknown monster, declared that the murderers were a group of robbers, and warned the townspeople to stay in the town for the past few days and not to go out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
He also ensured that the clean-up work would begin immediately, and the battle plan was drawn up in front of the townspeople.
By the time the townspeople turned to leave, the entire convoy was left behind by the mayor to renegotiate the plan.
"From the traces of the monster and the wounds of the corpse found at the scene, it was concluded that
1. The size of the magic object is huge, surpassing that of wild bears.
2. Monsters have the ability to fly.
Third, it is murderous and bloodthirsty, most of the corpses at the scene have few traces of being eaten, and it is obvious that the killing is not just for food.
It enjoys the process of killing its prey, indicating a certain amount of wisdom.
Let's talk about your suggestions. β
One of the team members said, "Since monsters can fly, then we must each be equipped with a bow or crossbow arrow, and there must be a long-range attack." β
"The blacksmith has always had a very low production of crossbow arrows, and it is estimated that they are not evenly worn.
Phelps analyzed: "All beasts generally have a sense of territory, and the place where the caravan was attacked is two miles northeast of the town, can we guess that the area of the monster is its own territory." If so, their nest should be in that area. β
"You mean to search that area?"
"If we find the base of the monsters, we can track them even if they escape. β
"Who can guarantee that the search will not startle the snakes?"
"Besides, monsters can slaughter the caravan one-sidedly, and it is by no means easy to match, but I know that there is a guard in Gogol's team whose swordsmanship is not inferior to that of the captain. β
The discussion was quite hot, but Rodin shook his head when he heard it.
Jeff keenly observed this phenomenon: "Rodin, is there anything you can do. Let's talk about it. β
Rodin hesitated slightly, but in the desire to fight and the safety of his teammates, he still chose the latter.
"I think we can do thisγγγγγ"
As Rodin spoke, the players' eyes lit up.
"I can't see that Rodin has such a bright head. If this method works, then we can capture the enemy without hurting a single soldier. β
Seeing the cheerful appearance of everyone's clothes, Rodin replied uncertainly: "We don't know how cunning the monster is, whether it will be fooled." So be prepared for plan failure. Bow and crossbow and the like should be prepared. If you can, add a little spice to the crossbow bolt as well. β
After studying the details of the plan and clarifying the division of labor, the convoy moved vigorously.
From the morning to the afternoon, everything was ready.
The number of crossbows was quite different, only about a dozen, and Rodin, because he was the one who proposed the plan, was also given a crossbow and ten arrows.
The arm is long and short, but it is a big killing weapon, which can effortlessly shoot through leather armor and kill people from a hundred meters away. The danger is extremely high, the town guard was not equipped with the originally, and the blacksmith shop has very little stock and is not sold to the public.
The sheriff wasted a lot of effort, and it was difficult to buy it with emotion and reason.
As soon as the convoy departed, several townspeople closed the gates.
After a short time, the team drove a cow to the vicinity of the incident site, and took out a bucket of pale green juice, which was coated all over the old cow's body, and fed the old cow a lot by the way.
The old cow was then driven into the path where the incident occurred, while the people took refuge under the cover of bushes and overgrown weeds.
Then came the long wait. After the old cow was driven in, he fell into a coma on all fours in an instant.
The team members held their breath and waited solemnly.
Thankfully, it was a cloudy day and there was no light breeze. The evaporation time of the juice on the old cow is greatly extended.
"Ahh
"Oh my God. Rodin was amazed. Dozens of meters away, what kind of creature was that!
It is about twice the size of a grizzly bear, and looks like a standing lion at a glance. When it fluttered its wings and landed on the ground, a burst of sand and rocks flew away, and the wind was agitated. With a wingspan of about 4 meters, it looks like two huge gray and yellow umbrellas on both sides.
It has a striking eagle face, a hook-like beak that exudes a faint cold light, and a pair of eyes that are orange like owls, with only a little pupil in the center as black as ink. Except for the vigorous dark brown hair between the neck,
The rest of the body is smooth and hairless, and the skin is coarse and appears a putrid gray.
Beneath a pair of wings, the muscles of the two legs are knotted, and the three sickle-like claws on the fingers are long and sharp, and from time to time they draw clear scratches on the ground.
This is a griffon! How similar to the griffin seen in fantasy movies and television works in my previous life, or a subspecies of griffin.
Rodin unconsciously began to get excited again, and in the blink of an eye, the players were all in high spirits, especially Fletcher's face was flushed as if he was about to drip blood.
"Eat, eat. β
A group of people prayed silently, and the monster that resembled a griffin was now like an emperor looking around the sleeping old cow carefully. Flap your wings or grab your feet from time to time.
However, seeing that the prey did not move for a long time, it seemed to be annoyed all of a sudden, and suddenly began to attack the target brutally. The beak that flashed with a faint light was like a dagger, pecking a bloody hole, and the claws on his legs were even more terrifying, pulling on the old cow for a while, cutting the broken bones and dripping with blood, and in a short time, the poor old cow was dismembered by the whole city, piece after piece of flesh and blood.
Its head was tossed aside by the griffon's grasp, and the griffon pecked intermittently, swallowing some flesh, most of course, to waste.
Oh wa, Rodin couldn't hold back his nausea, most of the militia members could still bear it, but Fletcher and a few others couldn't bear it anymore and vomited on the spot.
The griffon, immersed in the slaughter, suddenly woke up, what a cunning monster, and almost instantly realized the abnormality, and immediately spread its wings to escape.
"Shoot it!" Jeff ordered, and nine crossbow arrows hit the griffon's body in an instant, and Rodin was embarrassed to shoot it crookedly.
How strong the anesthetic is in the body surface and blood of the old cow, in order to be foolproof, the concentration of the anesthetic is piled up to death, although the griffin has not eaten for a long time, it has been significantly affected, and its physical strength and reaction have decreased a lot.
Two more rounds of shooting, the entire griffin was shot into a sieve, and bewitching blood flowers bloomed on its body.
The power of the crossbow was on full display at this moment.
In a short time, the griffin hung its wings and head weakly, and crawled to the ground motionless.
"One more round" Jeff ejaculated several more times uneasily, and finally let go of his hanging heart when he saw that the griffin was not moving.
Commanding the crowd, slowly approaching it.
"Wow, what a huge guy. β
"Did we kill us?"
Seeing the griffon up close, everyone was even more amazed by its violent appearance.
"Phew, this brute!" many people stepped forward and gave a few kicks.
"Rodin, this time it's really a loss to you, otherwise if we really fight with real guns, we may really be wiped out"
"Go back, if nothing else, I'm sure I'm going to reward you well. β
Jeff, who was not smiling, finally showed a relieved expression.
"Yes, Rodin, you have done a great job. β
"You saved us. β
"Where, it's all everyone's credit, I just put forward a little opinion, the plan, everyone implemented it together, and the credit is also everyone's. β
"Let's transport this guy back to town and let everyone see it. β
"Okay, roast it and eat it, and report it back. β
Everyone immediately took off their vigilance and began to laugh.
