Chapter 004: (Dark Bringer)
"Woo ......woo woo
The voice of the giant hyena is low and similar to the barking of a bird, and it is also similar to the laughter of a human.
In the dead of night, this high-pitched, eerie cry is more terrifying than a lion's roar. And judging from the sound, this is not a separate individual, but a group. The number of this colony is at least ten or more.
Howls and creepy laughter came from around the woods, the sounds of giant hyenas rounding up their prey or fighting each other. This sound can be transmitted several leagues away through the sound shell in order to attract more companions.
Giant Buster hurriedly urged, "Iris, climb up the tree, quick." Although Tormund couldn't figure out why the giant hyenas were in the woods, he knew that these ferocious predators could easily tear them apart and devour them.
Terrified, Iris followed the bearded man's orders to climb up the tree, Tormund following him. As they climbed the trunk of the tree, a pair of blood-red/colored eyes gradually appeared in the darkness of the surrounding woods, like fireflies in the night.
At this time, the figure of a giant hyena finally appeared in the grass, and it looked extremely ugly, and it looked like a fierce and vicious appearance, and after it appeared, a foul smell followed, making it impossible to breathe.
A giant hyena with spots all over its body appears under a large tree, its front half is thicker than its hind body, its head is large, its skull is thick, its head is long and its snout is short, and its ears are large and round. Its limbs are each with four toes, and its claws are large, curved, and blunt. It has a long mane on the back of its neck and shoulders, and its tail hair is also long.
The giant hyena bared out its fangs, and still had a few strands of flesh in its mouth, and its mouth was stained with purple-black gooey blood, and let out a low, eerie howl. It spotted two humans on the trunk of the tree, howling as if calling out to their companions.
Sure enough, another spotted giant hyena came out of the dark woods, then a second, a third...... The Seventh Head ...... Until the eleventh head. It's not a huge pack, but they're all big, adult giant hyenas.
In less than a while, more than a dozen giant hyenas gathered under the tree, presumably all of them here, but they were also self-aware, knowing that they couldn't climb trees, so they didn't make any attempts, but waited quietly under the tree, waiting for the rabbits.
The boar king beneath the tree became a delicacy for them to enjoy, and the entire herd of giant hyenas gathered around and gobbled up the feast. Within tens of minutes, the huge prey was eaten by them.
Iris looked under the tree, ahhh
"How many murderous eyes are staring at me?" Iris thought with trepidation. He didn't know how to put his hands down, his eyes didn't know where to look, his head was buzzing, and the most hateful thing was that his legs were a little trembling.
"Boy, are you scared?" Tomund's perceptive eyes noticed the panicked look of the boy beside him.
Iris didn't answer the bearded man's words, but asked tremblingly, "Is this what you call the giant hyena?" The cute little squirrel was still very obediently lying on his shoulder.
Tormund nodded in acknowledgement, then pointed to one of the giant hyenas under the tree and said, "The largest female giant hyena is the leader of this group, and more than hundreds of people die every year in my hometown under their sawtooth. ”
The giant hyena has a strong ability to hunt on its own, and most of its prey is captured by itself. They can run long distances continuously, have a ferocious temperament, and can hunt large prey in packs, making them the most powerful carnivores outside of lions.
They are carnivorous and carnivorous animals, with a large size and an amazing bite that can easily crush bones, making them one of the most dangerous beasts in this world.
The size of the giant hyena can be very different from that of its "relatives", and the huge female giant hyena even exceeds the weight of an adult male lion, so it is fitting to call it a giant hyena!
A herd of giant hyenas can range from hundreds to a dozen, and the leader of each pack is a sturdy female giant hyena. The giant hyena is highly socially organized, and the "mother leader" always gets the largest and best piece of meat when foraging, and this is a matter of course.
Giant hyenas like to hunt at night, so their night vision is very good. The giant hyenas had already spotted the humans hiding in the trunks, and the giant hyenas showed off their fierce physique and large pincer-like jaws to the humans on the trunks with their hideous and ferocious heads.
"Didn't you say that this beast is only found in your homeland?" asked Iris, puzzled. "And how did they end up here?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they're here because of you!" Tormund replied slowly. "The little giant is right," he thought to himself. "I shouldn't have left the castle with my little master at will, I was too confident. 」
"Because of me?" Iris was even more confused, frowning and thinking, "You mean these giant hyenas are domesticated beasts?"
"That's right, boy!" said Tormund in no uncertain terms. "And this man must be hiding nearby, watching us. His piercing gaze searched the woods for enemies hiding in the darkness at the same time.
"And what are we going to do?" Iris looked at the bearded man anxiously, eagerly awaiting his idea! he thought to himself, "What kind of powerful being must be a beast tamer capable of driving such a ferocious beast. 」
"Don't panic yet, these beasts can't hurt you!" Tormund whispered to soothe the boy's panic. "Those giant hyenas below are the targets of your practice, hold the hunting bow in your hand first, attach the arrows, and then shoot them with the archery skills I taught you!"
Iris followed Tormond's orders to clench the hunting bow in his hand, and then attached the arrow to aim at the beast under the tree, but his hand holding the bow trembled a little, and when he released the bowstring and let the arrow fly out, it was clearly lacking in strength. The arrow landed on the ground without incident.
"Boy, what are you afraid of?" the expression on Tormond's face began to change to dissatisfaction. "It's just a bunch of beasts, not to mention they can't hurt you, where is all your courage just now?"
"Have you never been afraid?" retorted Iris, stubbornly. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of!" he told himself in his heart. "But how can this be done?"
It has been said that fear is due to ignorance. In fact, I am more afraid because I know too much. If a person is ignorant, he will not have reason to imagine how things will be. Because I don't have a clue about things, I can't imagine it at all. If a person knows too much, he will be afraid.
"Fear only makes you more afraid, and fear only makes you more cowardly while protecting yourself. Tormonde reminded the boy sharply. "I hope you can remember this sentence firmly in your heart!"
"What can I do to become... Brave...... Becoming no longer ... Scared?" Iris's question turned into a staccato whisper, and the majestic gaze of the other man made him bow his head.
"First of all, you have to stop being afraid of danger. Tormond's voice was full of anticipatory joy, as if he remembered something. "It's only through constant adventure that you learn how to be brave, and when you're used to it all, you won't be scared anymore!"
Everyone understands this, but it's another thing to actually do it. Fear is a natural response for humans to feel their vulnerability, and fear is a common trait of most humans about the unknown.
If a passer-by encounters a group of ferocious predators or a group of murderous bandits and robbers in the wilderness, will this passer-by be able to be calm? Will he not be afraid, will he not feel fear?
"In fact, most bravery is forced, there are many things that we dare not face, and the most courageous face is also forced. The narrator's tone adds a certain flavor of nostalgia to it. "Just like the current situation, you can choose to face it bravely, or you can choose to hide cowardly under my protection. ”
It's like going back to twenty-five years ago, when Tormund and his father were hunting in the forest, when they were besieged by a pack of giant hyenas. Tormund was only two years older than Iris now, and he and his father were trapped in a tree by a pack of giant hyenas for three days and two nights. Just as Iris was about to answer, a strange man's voice came from the woods: "He has another choice......" The man's voice was so long and unique that it was impossible to distinguish his direction. "That's obedient and caught!"
"Even so, you'll have to ask the Giant Buster if you agree!" said Tomund's tone with a strong ingredient as his gaze still roamed the woods in the darkness.
"I'm not going to ask a dead man for advice. The cold voice of the strange man was heard again in the darkness.
"Dark Bringer, if you want to kill me, show up immediately!" Tormund said in a thick tone of disgust. "Hiding in a dark corner won't hurt me. ”
"Really, I want to try it!"
