When Galen was asleep, he noticed that someone was calling him, and he woke up in a daze, not fully rested. It turned out that the head of the regiment was telling all the team members to get up and talk about what they were going to do next, Galen had to get up with sleepiness, looking at the other people, they were also very sleepy and had not rested well, but they couldn't protest or violate anything. At this time, the head of the regiment looked around, saw that everyone was there, and began to speak: "Last night, because of the relationship between the fire ants, we chose a direction with relatively few plants and trees, and I woke up and pointed a magnet in one direction, we were lucky, and the direction of the destination we were going to was the same." ”

After hearing such words, everyone was obviously excited, did not lose their way, and was still on the right path, which was an unexpected joy, and everyone began to talk about it sentence by sentence. But the regiment commander's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking, and the regiment leader said quietly in a loud voice, and everyone gradually whispered.

When there was no sound at all, the regimental commander continued: "According to my estimates, it will take about two days to reach the destination, which is the central lake of the Feroni Plain. There is the Feroni Elephant there, but if the giant elephant we want to hunt is a male elephant, the average male elephant is 3 people tall, which means that we can't kill it by brute force, we have to have a complete plan, we can't rush today, just rest here for a day, and think about the plan by the way. ”

When everyone heard the regiment commander say this, they knew that the destination should not be far away, and the roar of elephants could be heard from time to time in this place. How to plan, everyone's ideas are different, some people suggest using a big trap to kill, but such a big elephant, to dig a trap that can trap it I don't know how much time it takes, this plan was rejected as soon as it came out. Another person suggested shooting with a giant crossbow, which was feasible, but the position of the giant crossbow needed to be carefully considered, and this plan could not be implemented until the giant elephant was within the range of activities.

Then some people said other nonsense notes, some of which sounded hilarious, and most of the suggestions were dismissed. Only two suggestions were taken out by the head of the regiment and said. One is shot by a giant crossbow, and the other is poisoned, only these two are theoretically possible. The regimental commander pondered for a moment, and then said: "I thought about it for a while, poisoning the giant elephant is the best choice, you can achieve the goal with the least effort, but the giant elephant is not a fool, it will eat poison, and its nose is very sensitive, I have tasteless poison, but the poison is not strong enough, and the poison that is toxic enough has a great taste, and the elephant will not eat it." Regarding the plan to shoot the giant crossbow, first of all, you must find a place where you can shoot the giant elephant and set up the giant crossbow, and you can't be discovered by the giant elephant, you have to step on the point first, and then you can implement the specific plan when you see the giant elephant. ”

Everyone discussed it for a long time, and the head of the regiment summed it up, and the plan was there, but I don't know what will happen when it comes to specific implementation. After the discussion, they went back to their original positions to rest, and they had to recuperate enough and adjust their state before they could hunt the giant elephant.

After a day, all the people headed towards the lake in the middle of the plain, and saw more and more footprints of wild beasts, and from time to time you could see some small wild beasts, and there was also the smell of unknown animals in the air, which was a little unpleasant, but it was bearable. The beast has more and more paths, and there is less and less grass. This lake is the largest source of water in the entire plain, and basically all the animals in the plain come here to drink, which also brings a lot of trouble to hunt giant elephants, and it will be very difficult to deal with the wild beast herd.

The group walked more and more carefully, and the beasts that could be seen on the road were more and more, getting bigger and bigger, and from time to time you could see the herds of plain horses, hundreds of them together, which was very spectacular. But being careful does not avoid all dangers, and the adventurous team entered the territory of a female hippopotamus, this season is the breeding season of the female hippos, and the territorial awareness is very strong, very irritable. The hippopotamus roared loudly, and then galloped at a speed disproportionate to its size.

The members of the team dodged quickly, and everyone sped up to get out of the hippopotamus's territory as soon as possible, killing a hippopotamus was useless, it was very exhausting and not beneficial, and it was very unwise to go head-to-head. Although the hippopotamus was fast, it was not flexible, and the adventurers changed directions several times, and after fifteen minutes, they threw off the angry hippopotamus. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time the regiment commander also came with an afterthought: "Take a look at it when you leave, you can't always let me look at the situation in front of me alone, I sometimes miss, just like just now, it wasted a lot of effort and time of the whole team." ”

Everyone didn't know what to say when they heard the regiment commander's words, and this was not what they wanted to encounter, so they were silent, so they didn't hear it, and continued to follow the regiment commander. After walking in silence, he finally walked up a low mound with a distant view of the central lake. From a distance, there are many animals drinking water on the edge of the central lake, all kinds of animals, and some animals that Galen has never seen before. The head of the regiment said: "Our destination has arrived, it is the lake not far in front, this place is relatively high and safer, everyone take a rest here, and by the way, see if you can find the giant elephant." ”

Everyone's hearts are also relaxed, and when they come to the destination, it is equivalent to completing half of the task, although they have not seen the giant elephant yet, but the giant elephant will always appear. Galen's eyesight was particularly good, and he saw animals at the water's edge, some of which would be pulled into the water, and Galen even saw a half-sized wild buffalo being dragged into the water, making a big splash, and after a while there was no movement. Galen knew that there must be large predators underneath the lake, and he must not go into the water as a last resort, and he must be careful at the water's edge.

Suddenly, a man said in a loud voice, "I see a giant elephant!" Hearing this, the head of the regiment quickly came to the man's side, and made a gesture to him to be quieter, and the other members also came to his side one after another. Then the regimental commander whispered, "Where, do you point to some locations?" and the man was excited, and then pointed to the southeast. Galen looked at it carefully, and there were 78 giant elephants, three of which were baby elephants.

When the head of the group saw the elephant herd, he was a little disappointed and said: "What we are looking for is a single-headed male elephant, only male elephants have huge tusks, and what you see is only a giant elephant that has no value to us, but the appearance of the herd also shows that there is a high probability that there are male elephants living here." When everyone heard these words, their enthusiasm immediately dissipated a lot, and they dispersed again.

Some people went to find a better observation position, and some people just rested and did what they wanted to do. Galen thought about what the bison were eating in the lake, and looked at the lake seriously, and from time to time some animals such as antelopes and steppe horses were pulled into the water, but they were pulled into the water too fast to see anything. Galen wanted to know what the predator was in the water, so he stopped the commander and said, "Commander, I see something in the lake that can hunt wild beasts to drink, and what is it?" ”

The head of the regiment saw Galen asking like this, and he didn't have anything particularly important to do, so he drank Galen and said: "Actually, all I know is that there is a Ferroni crocodile unique to this place in the central lake of Feroni, I heard that the longest can reach 56 meters long, that's just a legend, I'm not sure if it's long, but I've seen a crocodile more than 3 meters long, the crocodile dragged a bison into the water alive, and then the bison was eaten alive." ”

"It's so powerful, there should be a lot of crocodiles in this water, right?" Galen asked curiously, "These crocodiles are originally in groups, I don't know how many crocodiles are in the water, I only know that even if you die, you can't enter the lake, and once you enter the lake, you will die, in addition to crocodiles, there is also a kind of meat-eating fish, which can instantly eat living things that fall into the water into only bones." No one knows what's under the water, have you ever seen a waterfowl?" the regimental commander replied to Galen's question, and asked Galen in passing.

Galen thought for a moment about the animals he had seen before, and really hadn't seen any waterfowl in the lake, so he replied without a word. The head of the regiment explained: "There are piranhas in this place, and some unknown things lurk under the surface of the water, all living creatures cannot survive on the water, this lake with so much food does not have a single water bird, it is enough to explain some problems, even if you are chased by lions, you have no way back, you can't enter this lake, this lake is a forbidden area for life." ”

Galen looked at the lake, this lake turned out to be a natural hunting ground, all the animals that want to drink water will become prey, but such a large grassland, there is not much water source, especially now this season, it happens to be autumn, it will not rain for a long time, the small water sources have dried up, only the largest lake has water. The animals that come here are very thirsty, and there is no way, after seeing their companions being dragged into the water, these animals will quickly move away from the lake, but because they are thirsty, they will soon return to the lake to drink.

These animals will die of thirst if they don't drink water, risk their lives to drink if they drink water, and stay in the lake forever if they are unlucky. Galen thought that he seemed to be like those animals, he had many choices for the future, but reason and responsibility made him have no choice but to follow a specific path, and there was no better way, unless he was strong enough to change everything. Now Galen is more determined, he must become stronger, let himself change from the identity of the prey to the identity of the hunter, maybe this opportunity is very slim, but he will not give up.

Soon it was night, and people did not feel sleepy because they rested more during the day. Everyone built a relatively large fire, and then people sat down around the fire and began to tell jokes or funny things to relieve the nervousness of the journey for so many days. Galen was nostalgic for this feeling, and when he first left Demacia, he could hear a lot of funny and funny things every night with the caravan. Now that he heard it again, there was an indescribable affection for him, and Galen listened attentively.

From time to time there was a burst of hearty laughter from the side of the fire, and from time to time Galen added wood to the fire, and after a long time someone said to Galen, "What is your name, you have not spoken to us, you are very silent, I have ignored your existence, you can say something about yourself or some jokes." Galen was embarrassed and said, "I'm not going to tell jokes, I'm on my second adventure, and there's nothing dangerous or strange about it." I'll just introduce myself, my name is Galen, I'm from Demacia, and I'm here to protect my sister. ”

After Galen finished speaking, everyone felt that there was no energy, so they didn't force Galen, and then the other people said some of their own adventures or jokes, and the atmosphere came alive again, and Galen listened carefully, until late at night, people were sleepy, and the voices gradually became smaller, and they left the fire to rest, and the fire gradually went out, and the day was over.
