Chapter 054: Porcupine
On the way back, Lynch was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, playing with a small black gourd in his hand, and from time to time he held it to his ear and shook it a few times, and there was a "whoosh" sound of water coming out of it, which obviously contained liquid.
The texture of the withered vine treasure gourd is warm, the color is deep, and it is as hard as iron, and it has a very high ornamental value, and it is better than the best jade. But its real value lies not in this, but in its use to store water.
Ordinary containers can hold as much water as they have in their volume, and the capacity of the withered vine treasure gourd is dozens of times or even hundreds of times its own volume according to the quality.
What's even more amazing is that this kind of gourd has the function of "lifting weights like light", even if it is full, it will not feel heavy, but it is a natural space spiritual object.
With this thing, he didn't have to deliberately choose a place near the water source as his residence, and he could even go deep into the desolate waterless land to hunt and explore.
However, Lynch's main concern is not the gourd itself, but the liquid in the gourd. That liquid is a 10,000-year-old vine absorbing various minerals from the earth's veins, as well as the spiritual essence of the mountains, the essence of the sun and the moon, which has been condensed for hundreds of years, and is a hundred and ten times more precious than the liquefied heaven and earth aura, which can be said to be a treasure medicine made by nature.
He has survived in this treacherous mountain wilderness so far, and the Huiyang water brought from home has been completely exhausted, and with these more precious gourd spiritual liquids, he finally has a perfect replacement, once he encounters an emergency, he only needs to take a little, and he doesn't have to worry about the problem of spiritual power depletion.
"Meow ......"
Xiao Qi leaned over to Xiao Hulu with his head pierced, looking very interested.
"Don't worry, can I still have your share?"
Seeing this, Lynch said angrily. Perhaps because of himself, the little guy not only likes to eat cooked meat, but also likes to eat all kinds of plants and trees, which makes him feel more and more that the burden is too heavy and he can't afford to raise it.
The dim forest, the ancient trees are lined up, the grass grows, it is difficult to walk, it is not quiet, it is not noisy, the sound of insects is not endless, and the beasts are crying from time to time. Newcomers must be terrified here, and Lynch has long been accustomed to walking through the deep woods as casually as walking through the streets.
When walking through a bush, Xiao Qi, who was lazily crawling on his master's shoulder and napping, suddenly woke up, his pointed ears stood upright, swaying from side to side, and obviously heard an interesting sound.
One person, one tiger and four eyes facing each other, Xiao Qi whispered at the master, and raised a front paw to make a gesture, I don't know what it means.
"Porcupine, you mean there's a porcupine nearby?" said Lynch, surprised and delighted.
Xiao Qi nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"Lead the way!"
He was overjoyed, and secretly said that today is really a good thing!
Xiao Qi "meowed", jumped down, and immediately ran to the oblique side with his master.
A quarter of an hour later, Lynch followed Xiao Qi to a small river, and found that there were two fierce beasts, one large and one small, facing each other in the shallows not far away. One was a large black porcupine, covered in long spikes, and forced to the water's edge, while the other was a blade-toothed tiger with two scimitars in its mouth that looked like long teeth.
The unique creature of porcupines is not common, as for this long-tailed black porcupine on the shallows, it can be described as the demon among porcupines, even in the great mountain area of Yunlou Mountain, if you want to meet one, you need a little chance.
This black porcupine, with a tail nearly seven feet long, resembles a huge black thorn, and the dense black thorns on its body are like sharp iron drills, constantly swaying, making a "clang" sound, and it looks extremely hideous.
The reason why Lynch is interested in porcupines is precisely because of his black thorns, which for him are natural high-grade arrows.
From Lushan Mountain to Tianque Mountain, and then from Tianque Mountain to Yunlou Mountain, he has been wandering the mountains for nearly two years, and the bow and arrow have become his indispensable weapon. Whether it is hunting blood food or protecting the enemy, bows and arrows are indispensable sooner or later, and it is not too much to say that it is a reliance on survival. Without the bow and arrow, he would not be where he is today.
But Yamanaka was bitter, and his own bow might have been good, but the key feathered arrows were crude, and because they had no arrowheads, their power was greatly limited, and the porcupine's spines were hard and sharp, perfect arrows, and something he desperately needed.
The blade-toothed tiger opposite the black porcupine is the same as the wine ape, belonging to the ancient relics recorded in the "Alien Beast Record", it is an extremely ferocious beast, the physique is two or three times that of ordinary mountain tigers, and the combat power is nearly ten times that of them, and it is one of the few fierce beasts that dare to prey on such an extremely difficult creature as the porcupine.
In fact, saber-toothed tigers generally do not hunt porcupinal pigs simply to fill their stomachs, but mostly covet their unusually delicious meat.
Lynch didn't care about the blade-toothed tiger at all, he just wanted to get the porcupine, and at this time the two beasts were fighting, and he was happy to wait for them to lose and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Fighting with porcupines is about patience.
It turned out that the porcupine's body was densely spiked, which discouraged most of the beasts, and even if they dared to provoke, they had nowhere to put their mouths. But the porcupine is not invulnerable, its belly is not long with thorns, and it is so soft that if you find an opportunity to overturn it, it becomes meat on the board, and it is no longer dangerous.
The blade-toothed tiger is older and has a lot of experience, but the black porcupine is not inferior at all, after more than two hours of fighting, the blade-toothed tiger tried many times without success, and was pierced all over the face, and finally chose to retreat, and fled in a gray way.
At this time, of course, it was Lynch's turn to appear, and the main reason why he waited so long was because he was afraid of annoying the Bladetooth Tiger and having an unnecessary fierce fight with it. As for the black porcupine, it's a piece of cake.
Xiao Qiqiang endured it for too long, and when he saw that the master finally moved, he immediately jumped out of the bushes, swept to the shallows in a blink of an eye, and changed to the size of a cat, and intercepted the black porcupine that was about to leave the riverside, "whooping" and yelling, like a mighty little tiger.
The black porcupine is not even afraid of the blade-toothed tiger, where would he be afraid of this little guy, take care of himself and move forward, Xiao Qi still has self-knowledge, the retreat of knowledge, but the arrogant momentum has not decreased but increased.
Lynch rushed out with his sword, and the long sword was directed at the side of the black porcupine.
Although the black porcupine was slow, it had a good instinct, and Fang Yi sensed that the danger was approaching, and he did not hesitate to use a killer move. It spun its buttocks, its back twitched violently, and rows of spikes flew out of thin air like arrows from a string, "whooshing" and stabbing at Lynch continuously.
Lynch himself is a marksman, and he has been cutting rain and practicing swords all year round, so he is not afraid of this level of attack, the long sword is swung, Bai Sensen's sword shadow is like a spinning wheel, and the black thorn "bang bang bang" is all knocked down, without hurting him at all.
The black porcupine pig's long tail swung sharply, and the huge thorn ball smashed into Lynch's waist and abdomen, Lynch stepped on the unicorn step, a sharp stop, easily avoided, and then jumped and fell to the front of this fang, a fierce sword stabbed out, and the long blade pierced the tough leather armor on its chest, and it was eaten deep into the flesh at once, straight into the heart and lungs.
After a while, the bleeding black porcupine stopped struggling and died.
The mountains and forests are full of dangers, and the smell of blood will attract an endless stream of predators, Lynch did not dare to delay time, collected all the black thorns that could be made into arrows as quickly as possible, took some fresh meat, and left excitedly.
Pity this black porcupine pig, in the face of a blade-toothed tiger several times more powerful than him, he can rely on a spike to save his life, and in the face of Lynch, who is holding a dragon's tooth sword, he is like a lamb to the slaughter......
That evening, under a huge red pine tree, Lynch stewed pork, and made feather arrows out of porcupine bones, and since he got the demon sword, there was no doubt that today was the most joyful day.
The bright moon rises in the east, the moon is like water, the light and smoke are filled in the headland, the rocky peaks, the slopes and valleys are all covered with a layer of frost silver light, the breeze blows, and the flowers hit people.
There is never a quiet time in the deep mountains, not to mention the sound of insects and birds, and the roar of fierce beasts from time to time, shaking the mountains and forests, but Lynch is not strange.
The aroma of the meat began to overflow, Xiao Qi couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance, and ran to the nearby river alone to catch a few silverfin fish, let the owner roast them, and then relieve the hunger for the time being.
"Boom Boom Boom ......"
The sound of the horse's galloping hooves came from a distance, and Xiao Qi was immediately alert, and Lynch was also taken aback, because the sound came from far and near, and it was clearly aimed at where they were.
Under the moonlight, a flying shadow rushed from the sloping valley, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the momentum was amazing, and it came in an instant, and stopped in front of the red pine tree, with a long hiss, deafening.
The horse's hooves hit the ground, and it can be seen that the horse is six or seven feet high, and it is really a big horse. The knight on horseback was very short, wearing a mottled silver helmet on his head and a swarthy iron rod on his back, like a general on horseback.
The knight supported the horse's neck with his strange long arms, jumped off the horse's back, and approached the red pine tree with his short, thick legs, and the moonlight shone on the side of his face, and his face was covered with fine white hair, his eyes were sunken, his nostrils were facing the sky, and his mouth was strangely large, not like a human.
"Wow!"
With a scream, a black shadow flew down from the sky and landed on the knight's shoulder, its wings spread out, and it screamed, it turned out to be a falcon.
