Chapter 493: Appearance
Although Ning Ze didn't think that there were monsters here, it must be something else. But it was clearly threatening, after all, many people died.
This thing must be elusive and not easy to spot. Or they can quickly leave after discovering it, like a ghost.
Secondly, it should rest during the day and hunt at night. This is quite common, and many beasts of prey have this habit.
Third, this thing is carnivorous, and will hunt people as prey, and it eats a lot of food, and it is predicted to be quite large.
It can't be so coincidental, it's a dinosaur again, right?
Or a giant creature from the same era as the dinosaurs?
There are obviously many prehistoric creatures in this world, and they are not completely extinct.
However, it is a coincidence that they have been encountered continuously in a short period of time.
Ning Ze wanted to see with his own eyes what this monster looked like, and by the way, capture and tame it, but he didn't want to joke with the lives of the soldiers under his command.
So they ate and drank enough, and before nightfall set up traps around the camp, loaded all their muskets, and set up to wait.
Mi Yan was fully armed, with Xiao Yan and a group of female soldiers, and followed Ning Ze to take a defensive posture.
Soon the stars and the moon rose, and the night covered the earth.
Led by Ning Ze, the entire Huaguo army was in full array, and any noise around the camp could immediately attack and prevent the other party from rushing inside.
The wait was long, until about eight o'clock in the evening, and there was still silence around.
The only thing in my ears was the wind blowing the leaves and the torches in the camp swaying in the wind.
In the process, many people became drowsy, including Mi Yan.
After all, I was tired all the way, and I wanted to have a good rest tonight, but I didn't expect a "monster" to appear.
But you can't admit it, as long as you catch that monster, you can sleep peacefully. With the King of Danyang here, what demons and monsters can get away with it?
It was about half-past eight o'clock, when there was finally movement in the col, and a very hoarse-sounding cry appeared from the eardrums, which sounded a bit like a bird, but unlike any other bird.
Under normal circumstances, bird calls are quite pleasant and pleasant. But this cry only gives goosebumps all over the body, and it is very uncomfortable to scrape your nails the blackboard.
The soldiers in the camp suddenly became nervous, Mi Yan's sleepiness disappeared instantly, and she gently grabbed Ning Ze's arm: "Husband, ......"
"Don't be afraid!" Ning Ze whispered in her ear, "Find out what it is first, as long as you get close, Lone can see it!"
Hearing this, Mi Yan was a little relieved.
The call is quite far away, and it can be clearly transmitted to the camp, and it is by no means an ordinary bird.
The voice seemed to be getting closer, obviously coming in the direction of the army camp next to the avenue.
Ning Ze whispered: "Don't be in a hurry to shoot, wait for my order!"
If it was close to the camp, the soldiers would have been able to scare it away by firing in a panic, but it would have been difficult to capture.
Receiving the order, all the soldiers were even more nervous and engrossed.
After waiting patiently for a while, a red dot finally appeared on the virtual map, and this red dot was approaching at an unimaginable speed, even faster than the Shadow Run!
Ning Ze was startled, Jueying was a famous horse, and it was not a joke to run. What can be faster than it, and even this speed is not half a star, it is completely calculated in multiples!
Moreover, the terrain in the col is complex, and even if you are familiar with it, it is impossible to cross it in a straight line, which is unreasonable!
Combined with the strange calls I had heard before, could this thing really be a bird?
After thinking about it, the red dot was already approaching the camp, and Ning Ze hurriedly ordered: "Find cover and start defense!!"
Decisively took Mi Yan and the others into the tent nearby, looking at the night sky vigilantly.
All the soldiers obeyed the order, hid in tents, and raised their weapons aloft to form a dense forest of guns.
The red dots on the virtual map quickly streaked over the camp, and everyone clearly saw a huge black shadow blowing overhead, blowing a violent wind, causing the surrounding torches to rattle and even blow out several directly.
"Youkai!!" Mi Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.
All the soldiers in the camp were frightened, although the monster could not see clearly in the dark, but it was so large that it could directly snatch away the majestic war horse, not to mention the adult human.
The speed of the black shadow passing through the air was too fast, and Ning Ze didn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but it was certain that that thing had wings, and it was some kind of giant bird!
The monster apparently spotted the barracks, and the red dots circled around the airspace around the barracks, probably because there were too many people in the camp, and it was very cautious and did not attack immediately.
Ning Ze felt that this monster was looking for a lone person or a small team, a target to hunt within its ability. There are too many troops, so keep it on the alert. So he whispered to Mi Yan: "What I saw just now is definitely not a monster, but some kind of rare big bird." There are too many people in the camp, and it will not go on the offensive easily. Lone decides to leave the camp and lead it to attack, looking for an opportunity to seize it!"
"The concubine body also wants to be together!" Mi Yan said busily.
"It's okay to go, you can only bring a few elites, no more than ten people!" Ning Ze whispered, "Bring the prepared fishing nets with you, and obey Lone's command throughout the whole process!"
"Okay!" Although Mi Yan was afraid, she was bold enough to follow her husband, and asked Xiao Yan to gather six lieutenant-level officers in the camp, each of whom was fully armed and carried a strong fishing net to follow Ning Ze.
Ning Ze asked the soldiers in the camp to be on standby, not to relax, and left the camp with the team and quickly went to the nearby wide area.
Sure enough, when Ning Ze led the nine-person team out of the camp, the red dot on the virtual map followed, flying straight towards them.
"It's coming!" Seeing this scene, Ning Ze immediately ordered, "Immediately lay the net and wait for the order!"
"Xiao Yan, I'll leave it to you!" Mi Yan transferred her cronies over and commanded the six captains to set up the net. He took out the sawtooth knife and put on a fighting posture beside Ning Ze.
Ning Ze was also fully armed, wearing floating armor on his body, carrying the Celestial Star Hammer in his hand, seeing the red dot approaching rapidly, he directly summoned the iron-backed crocodile dragon to block the front.
Although the iron-backed crocodile can't fly and can't attack the monster, it can be used as a meat shield to protect the husband and wife.
The appearance of the iron-backed crocodile made Mi Yan feel a little at ease. In her opinion, with Shui Bo's guard, there is no need to be afraid of any demons and monsters.
The iron-backed crocodile was controlled by Ning Ze, and put on a fighting posture, guarding the whole process.
The monster appeared in the night sky, and its swift movements suddenly froze, apparently frightened by the iron-backed crocodile that appeared out of thin air. With its intelligence, it probably can't figure out where this behemoth came from.
But soon, it swooped in the direction of Ning Ze and Mi Yan.
When the team separated, the two people at the front became its targets. As for the iron-backed crocodile, the flightless ones pose no threat to it.
"It's coming!" Ning Ze clenched the Celestial Star Hammer and reminded him.
Mi Yan didn't speak, she raised her sawtooth knife horizontally and took a deep breath, paying full attention.
The monster swooped down and pounced on the couple.
Seeing this, the iron-backed crocodile raised its head and bit it.
Unexpectedly, the monster was too fast, so it was easy to avoid it and instantly pounce on Mi Yan.
"Look down on me?" Mi Yan raised her eyebrows and slashed out head-on.
Seeing the split, ——!the monster suddenly turned in the air and decisively avoided Mi Yan's attack. After liftoff, it turned around, let out goosebumps, and dived rapidly.
This time he pounced on Mi Yan, obviously this guy knew that Ning Ze was better than Mi Yan, and it was difficult to understand how to tell the difference.
Ning Ze shouted: "Squat!"
Mi Yan squatted down obediently, and saw her husband raise his left hand and spew phosphorus fire at the monster.
The monster was clearly frightened by the flames, and in the air it made another nimbly turn, dodging the attack.
I didn't expect it to be sprayed like this, Ning Ze was a little surprised. This monster is too fast to be imagined.
Especially in ancient times, there were no electrical appliances, and there were no street lights nearby, so the faint light of the torches on the camp was useless. How can there be such good eyesight in the faint moonlight?
It stands to reason that with the exception of owls and a few birds, none of them have night vision. Could it be that this giant bird also has night vision and is the same as an owl?
But looking at its shape, it looks more like a giant bat than an owl.
Of course, it is impossible for a bat to have a sharp bird head, and it flies so fast that it has no way to lock on to the target, even if it has system functions, Ning Ze cannot judge its identity.
You have to try to lure it over and trap it with a fishing net!
At the moment, he whispered to Mi Yan: "Lone personally lured the monster and brought it to the fishing net." You hide under Shui Bo, and that monster can only rush over!"
"No!" Mi Yan said hurriedly, "Let the concubine lure the monster and bring it over!"
"This monster is not trivial, it has a spell, but it can be safe!" Ning Ze said, "Hurry up and hide!"
"This ......" Mi Yan was worried about her husband, but if she thought about it, she was indeed more dangerous without spells. So he whispered, "Be careful!"
"Hmm!" Ning Ze nodded, letting her squat under the iron-backed crocodile and block it with the crocodile's huge body. In this way, the monster can only see the iron-backed crocodile, and there is no way to attack Mi Yan. Between the huge iron-backed crocodile and yourself, there is little to no choice!
Sure enough, when Mi Yan hid, the monster turned around in the air and directly changed its target and dived towards Ning Ze.
Ning Ze turned around and ran wildly, rushing towards Xiao Yan's side, and shouted at the same time: "Fishing nets are ready!"
Xiao Yan's side immediately prepared the fishing nets and waited nervously.
"Hu ——!" monster suddenly swooped down while Ning Ze was running wildly, and a pair of huge claws rushed at him.
Ning Ze looked at the virtual map all the time, found that the red dot covered himself, and instantly turned around and picked up the Sky Star Hammer and smashed it out.
The monster reacted quickly, and turned in the air to avoid the Star Hammer and pounced again from the side.
Ning Ze raised his left hand, and another phosphorus fire erupted, forcing it back, and then running forward desperately.
The monster dodged the phosphorus fire, turned around in the air, and swooped down again, heading straight for Ning Ze.
Ning Ze rushed to the fishing net as fast as he could, shouting, "It's now!"
Xiao Yan and the six lieutenants worked together and suddenly threw the fishing net.
