Chapter 240: Black Bear
No matter what happened between El and Dragontide, the huge team arrived at the Royal Tree Farm in a timely manner. After a few words in a wheelchair, Grievous the Great finally began.
Under the banner of their own family, a team rushed out with a large number of hounds and hunters. The participants in this hunt are basically young people from major families, and the old authorities regard this hunt as another tea party, or a dinner party, and they are old and frail to devote more energy to contacting feelings and talking with each other, of course, it is inevitable that there is a clash of words and a secret exchange of interests.
Young people will not think about it so much, although it is much worse than the martial atmosphere when the Kingdom of St. Teresa was first established, but the future stars of these kingdoms still hope to let the elders of the family, His Majesty present see their bravery, of course, more importantly, let those delicate and lovely young ladies see their heroic appearance, if the gods bless, can really stand out among the many young talents, and win the first place in the hunt, it is a great honor, which can ensure that he will be the shining star of all the balls in Hawley District within a yearใ
Al was listless compared to his enthusiastic peers around him, and while the hunters of the brigade rode past him, leaving nothing but dust, the Venerable Marquis of Iron Thorn rode alone into the woods. Occasionally, he would wave his sleeves to dispel the nasty dust that choked people, and muttered and cursed, "What are you doing running so fast, rushing to have a tryst with those beasts." It was only when he scolded him that he seemed a little energetic.
Who knew that as soon as he entered the forest, he heard an angry roar, and a gust of fishy wind was blowing in his face not far away, and a large black bear of astonishing size rushed straight towards El with overwhelming momentum, and along the way, I don't know how many trees that blocked the way, looking at the appearance of the black bear, hitting these thick trees was like tickling.
Al's mount was frightened on the spot, and the well-trained horse ran backwards with a scream, almost throwing Al off his horse. If it weren't for his quick reflexes and his equestrian skills, and his legs clamping the saddle with his entire upper body crooked, Al would have been dragged to the ground by the horse, and would have been seriously injured if he didn't die.
However, even so, the crisis was not over, and Al could clearly perceive the black bear behind him catching up, and the seeping howl was like thunder in Al's ears. Al tried three methods in a row in a very short period of time, but he couldn't control the fast horse that had gone crazy with fear, and he even felt that even the reins were about to be broken by the crazy horse.
"It can't go on like this, if the black bear pounces on it from behind, it's really over. A flash of fierceness flashed in Al's eyes, and he pulled out the saber at his waist, and thrust it into the throat of the mount under his crotch with extreme precision, and slammed it down!
The horse let out a muffled low, severed throat that could not make a sound, and the whole horse fell to the ground. Al, who had already expected it, tilted his body, held his head in his hands and shrunk into a ball, and rolled out with his strength like a round ball.
That's why Al didn't cut his horse's throat instead of slashing or attacking his brain. He was afraid that he would not be able to kill with a sword, and the crazy horse under his crotch was even more crazy under the stimulation of pain, so he adopted the most instantaneous way to kill.
Al rolled twice on the ground before he could get up, only to hear another roar, and Al looked up, only to see the black bear leaping high in the air, and slamming it like a meteorite on the poor horse's carcass. Like a strong man popping the tomato in his hand with all his might, a large amount of blood sprinkled all around him like a heavy rain, painting the world formed by green and black with a large patch of dazzling bright red, and even Al was stained with some of it.
"Snap", it seems that something hit Al, he fumbled to pick it up and looked, it turned out to be a long, white rib, it should be the big bear smashed on the horse's corpse, the powerful force squeezed the horse's whole body bones, ejected out, this tragic scene even if Al has seen the cruel battlefield, it can't help but be in a staggering position.
However, the black bear did not seem satisfied, and he raised his head and howled again, and then lowered his head to nibble on the carcasses of the horses, which had turned into a mass of meat sauce. Seeing this, Al stood up quietly, ready to quietly slip away while the big black bear focused on the horse meat.
Before he had walked a few steps, the big black bear raised his head suddenly, and just met El's eyes, staring at each other with big eyes. The black bear's mouth was covered with blood and flesh, and there was a piece of intestines chewing on the side of its mouth, which looked extremely hideous. It sank down slightly, kicked its four paws, and rushed towards El again, seeing that even if there was a big mountain in front of it, the black bear would crash out of a hole in the mountain.
In his heart, Al scolded the officials who were in charge of this hunt, how did they manage the royal hunting grounds? In the western realm, Al also followed the duke and duchess to participate in such an aristocratic hunt, the fierce beasts in the hunting ground were cleaned up in advance, so as not to cause accidents, and the prey in it was generally put in a few days before the hunt began, the most were generally rabbits, elk, etc., and some would put some wild wolves in order to pursue excitement, but this is already the limit, as for bears, tigers and other fierce beasts are unlikely to appear in the hunting ground.
But no matter how much he scolded in his heart, he couldn't help the current Al. He took two quick steps, leaped hard, and dodged the black bear's pounce in a few moments, almost until the soles of his feet were pierced by the black bear's sharp claws. The el, who had dodged it, had no time to breathe, and after he landed, he adjusted his direction and sprinted two more steps, once again dodging the black bear's ferocious pounce. The huge weight pressed on the ground, and every time the black bear pounced, the earth shook like a mountain, and it seemed that even the whole earth shook three times, and those who didn't know thought that there was a big earthquake here.
The most critical point now is that under the constant pursuit of the big black bear, Al can't find a way to fight back for the time being, so he has to run for his life.
