Chapter 22: Who Eats Whom
The cold moonlight shone down, and the steep cliff edges were filled with smoke.
Halfway up the mountainside cave, two behemoths tumbled and fell out.
At the moment of falling out of the cave, the lioness grabbed the male griffin, who had completely lost consciousness, flapped his wings vigorously, and flew into the distance. They thought they could escape, but they had barely flown more than five hundred meters away when they were chased by four Bloods with their wings outstretched.
It was clear that they didn't intend to let the two griffons live. In mid-air, the battle between the Bloods and the Griffins begins again.
Aang··· Hiss...
After a wail, the battle ended, and since the lioness had refused to let go of the male griffin, she could only passively dodge in mid-air. Under the fierce attack of the four Bloods, it only lasted less than half an hour before Chrissy tore off one of its wings and fell with the male griffon.
Although it is not the top of the mountain, it is at least more than 1,000 meters above the ground. Falling from this position, even a griffin will turn into a puddle of flesh.
With their worries resolved, the four Bloods flew back to the cave.
At this time, the cave was in shambles, and Clyde, who was missing an arm, was sitting in the corner of the cave covering his wounds. After seeing the four Bloods return, he raised his head to reveal a bloodied face, and asked, "Is the griffon solved?"
Chrissy replied and settled.
"Haha... Then we can go get our loot. After a few laughs, Clyde got up from the ground and walked with everyone into the cave.
The two griffons are huge, and the nest they live in is naturally not small. Dylan and the others walked the same way as they had fought before, turned a corner, and walked forward for about ten minutes before they reached the innermost part of the cave.
Along the way, everyone didn't say anything, but the other four people faintly formed an encirclement, surrounding Dylan in the middle. Sensing that there was something faintly wrong with the atmosphere at this time, Dylan didn't look at the others, but just put his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist seemingly inadvertently.
At the end of the cave, there was a stone platform six feet above the ground on the wall at the end of the cave. The platform was piled with straw and feathers. Between the straw and feathers, there are all sorts of things scattered around. Among them is a red gem that sparkles in a dark cave and is not ordinary at first glance.
Clyde, who was walking behind Dylan, slowly put his hand into his pocket, and in his pocket was the weapon 'Holy Water', which was used against the Blood. Chrissy, who was walking ahead at the same time, pointed to the table above and spoke, ready to attract Dylan's attention:
"That's all the griffon's treasures, Dylan, look at ······ there"
Before everyone could react, Dylan quickly flew onto the stone platform. With super fast hand speed, I grabbed everything into the pocket that I had prepared long ago. No one thought that Dylan would have such a play, and everyone was stunned.
Dylan turned around, looked at the stunned crowd below, and said with a smile on his face, "Now that the treasure has been obtained, let's go." If you're faster, you'll be able to get back to Birmingham before dawn. ”
Looking at the smile on Dylan's face, the color on Clyde's face changed a few times, and he gritted his teeth and shouted directly: "Leave everything behind, I can let you leave now." ”
"Let me leave?" Dylan looked at Maria, who was already standing not far behind them, and said with a strange expression, "Aren't you going to leave? ”
"Hey, hey, hey····· Mr. Dylan has such a good sense of humor, and your jokes make me like you a little. Clyde said with a gloomy face at this time: "But I don't have the patience to tell you jokes now, otherwise such a good scenery as Gonzeniel is not just the right place to bury bones as a baron." ”
Dylan glanced at Maria, touched his chin and said, "That's what Baron Clyde thinks?" After saying that, Dylan looked at Mary and made a throat-slitting gesture with his right hand.
Clyde realizes something is wrong, and is about to turn around.
A blade of wind struck from behind him with great speed, arcing through his neck. Suddenly, a fountain of blood erupted from his neck, and as the blood squirted his head into the air, a figure passed through the air at a rapid speed. I saw her reach out and take Clyde's head in her hand. Then just like that, holding his head in one hand, it landed beside Dylan, and looked coldly at the three people below, dumbfounded.
Maria stood there, the coercion of the viscount mixed with the murderous aura that kept emanating outward. Under this kind of coercion, Clyde and the others did not dare to act rashly, for fear that their heads would fall off if they were not careful.
With the sound of blood spurting from Clyde's neck, Dylan said cheerfully, "Let me introduce you, this is Miss Maria." As you can see, a viscount. Since Miss Mary has generously complied with his request, you should not object to Miss Mary and take a portion of the treasure as your reward. ”
"No! ”
"Of course not. ”
"Honorable Viscount, please take the treasure that belongs to you. ”
In this way, Dylan and a few friends happily reached a consensus together.
Before leaving, Dylan didn't forget to pit Chrissy once. He took it out of his pocket, pulled out the ruby containing the blood of the philosopher, and threw it directly in front of Chrissy. Chrissy subconsciously took the gem before she reacted, and her face immediately changed.
"The blood of the sage is left to you, I had a lot of fun with this expedition, and the next time there is such an event, remember to come to me." With that, he took Mary out of the cave.
Chrissy looked at Ruby, and then at the other three people, whose eyes were gradually becoming a little wrong, and wanted to cry without tears.
··············
Great harvest!
Regardless of how to divide a gem among the four people, Dylan returned to the hotel and poured out all the contents of the bag.
Griffons are better than dragons in that they only collect magical items, and in their collections, there are no large piles of shiny glass. Looking at the dozen pieces on the ground, all of them are things with magical fluctuations, this expedition Dylan really made a lot of money.
In a good mood, Dylan sorted through the things on the ground. A black dagger, 6 gold coins, a statue of unknown material, a small mirror, and 4 bones with magical fluctuations.
The bones are supposed to be the bones of a kind of Warcraft, and they are not of much use. The material of the dagger looks pretty good, and I gave it to Maria when I returned it, after all, she also had a hard time. The magic on the gold coin is obviously a creation of black magic, and I will talk about it later. The mirror looks half the size of a palm, such a delicate and small mirror, as well as the delicate patterns on it, all illustrate····· I don't know this thing.
