Section 35: Strength and Intelligence

There are no absolutes in this world.

Everything is relative, there are heads and tails, and there is a long transition between the two.

People tend to be too quick to conclude something. If the side that uses a certain weapon loses to the other side in a battle, it will ignore a series of factors such as troop transportation command, logistics supply, and favorable time and place, and the saying that "this kind of weapon is not good to use will lead to defeat."

But nothing is utterly useless, just as nothing is perfect.

"Whoa, a On the one hand, she simply did not have the means to spare, and on the other hand, despite the embarrassment and humiliation that it was unbearable to look at, Caleva did his job without certainty.

The porter is born and tall, and in terms of physical strength alone, he is second only to the sage in the team. Except for a natural runner like the little unicorn, who can't even outrun Mira, and a young man who doesn't know how to fight, the only situation that can come in handy is to be used as bait.

It is true that our Almighty Sage Sage could have done all this more easily, but if he had to do all the work alone, including being a decoy, the possibility of a collapse caused by uncontrollable factors and no one being able to act as a firefighter in time would be greatly increased.

Henry has long passed the age of being reckless and showy, and close to Zhu Zhechi, our Luo'an girl naturally tends to be more rational and calm thinking mode under hearing and seeing.

Simply relying on one or two people to do all the work will only add unnecessary burdens, and in a peaceful trip without danger, the sage will naturally not go to these people who are theoretically the objects of his protection, but extraordinary measures can only be taken in extraordinary circumstances, and at the moment, even if there is no such talk about saving the people of the Moon Country who are far away and have no idea about it, only to ensure their own survival can only be united by everyone.

"Roar——!! boom——!!" The fishy smell behind his head blew the young man's black hair wildly, and he even felt something wet and slimy against his ears with the breath. The beast made a loud "thump" sound, writhed and rushed at high speed, its open mouth full of fangs in the frantically swaying fire from the wind it took, and several rows of spare teeth like a shark, indicating the monster's tendency to eat like crazy.

"Click!!" it turned its head and tried to bite Galeva, but the young man dodged it with a flutter and a tumble.

"Mark, mark. He looked flustered and his breathing was uneven, but he still had plenty of energy

Seeing the markings on the ground, Kaleva immediately turned around and ran in that direction, and the behemoth that looked like a salamander behind him followed.

The hollow sound of "stepping on the ——!" was heard below the foothold, and Kaleva jumped to his feet and jumped over the ground covered with fallen leaves, and the ground collapsed as the crest of his fat foot fell on it.

The huge tonnage that was an advantage when facing the samurai of the Moon Country became a disadvantage at this time, and the trap cover made of bamboo netting frames and wooden frames collected in the village could withstand the weight of humans, but this nearly 10-ton behemoth was completely inadequate.

"Whew——!! The monster that fell into the trap with the sole of one foot briefly lost its balance, and the sharpened bamboo buried in it also caused some damage to it. But that's not enough to stop it completely. Henry had designed these in the first place just to buy time so that Caleva wouldn't become a one-time bait.

"Roar—hiss—" The roar was followed by the sound of a rapid air current, and it pulled its foot out of the trap and chased after Caleva again, which had been quite far away.

The light and heat of the fire drew it to its neighborhood, and the ninety kilograms of flesh on Galeva's body led it into the pockets set up by the crowd - all planned until now.

The torches, which had been burning for a long time, began to grow smaller and finally extinguished, and the young man ran through all the traps and finally came to the traps that did the actual damage.

"Remember to bend over!" reminded the girl of Luoan, who was quite worried about the dumbfounded, and the young man, who had barely reacted due to his reduced visibility and emotional tension, also ran under the trigger rope with a sliding shovel.

Even if the strength may not be enough to trigger the trap, running headlong and hitting the rope will definitely be picked up by the monster behind you.

"Thanks—" Galeva's stunned side reappeared, and after a sigh of relief, he actually stopped where he was and thanked Mira loudly, but fortunately the roar behind him made him realize that he was not completely safe and ran again. The monster that caught up brutally slammed into the hemp rope, and with a crisp "crackle" sound, the connecting structure was triggered, and the huge log hanging high lost its fixation and crashed into it with a huge force.

"Roar-" "Bang !!!" Miss Luna calculated the delay time required for the log to fall, and then referred to the monster's running speed estimated by the sage through observation, and the heavy log used as a load-bearing beam slammed into its body, and even slammed it completely crooked.

"Whew-w-wh-" is equivalent to a human being injured by a stick, and if it is not completely knocked out, it does take a heavy hit.

"Ha-ha-" The plan was over, and Kaleva stopped and gasped and looked back at it, the indomitable monster seemed stunned for a moment after being hit hard, and then stared at the young man in front of him with its large, round black eyes.

"Mom. As if assuming that the young porter was the cause of its injury, this overly intelligent display caused Kaleva to start running wildly again, while the sage behind him frowned.

"Roar-" "Knock-knock-" The monster that was running again chased after Galeva again.

"Hey!" and the young man did the same again, but this time, to the surprise of almost everyone, it didn't hit the hemp rope again.

"Roar-" The monster that stopped curling up like a cat for a moment jumped up with its fat tail and then fell back to the ground with a "bang!!thud".

The movement was so great that everyone felt the ground shaking.

"This—this—Mom!" Galleva, who was speechless, could only pull his legs and run wildly again, and the sage, who realized that it was all wrong, glanced at the Loan girl, and Mira nodded and whistled with a "yo-" sound.

"Shh The little unicorn quickly rushed out from the side, and all the supplies on the little guy's body had been unloaded in order to prepare for the emergency.

Although it is not yet fully grown, the little unicorn is quite large enough to bear Mira's weight.

"Qiang-" The Luoan girl turned over and rode on the little unicorn, then pulled out her sword with one hand and jumped out.

"Ha-ha-" Kaleva staggered past her, and the combination of the white-haired girl and the unicorn approached the position of the third trigger rope at an astonishing speed, and the monster ran over and curled up again, and she swung the knife in an instant.

"Boom——!" The trigger rope snapped in response to the sound, "Go!" and Mira urged the little unicorn to run quickly towards the rear.

"Boom-" The monster that jumped up again and tried to get over the trap was hit on the head by the falling log with a "!!bang", and the trap that was supposed to only hit its side because of its leaping action, it hit the head in mid-air.

"It's better to aim well than to catch well. Henry shrugged, and Mira and Galeva returned to the bottom of the bag at the same time. The girl immediately waved her hand and drove the little unicorn towards the direction of the mine, and the three missionaries were also nearby, and they ran there to take refuge after the monster officially arrived.

"Whew-" Although it was hit on the way to the falling wood, it didn't achieve the best effect, but it was the monster that hit the head, and it was obvious that it was still hit hard, and it shook its head in place, looking a little unsteady.

The sage raised his hand at the right time, and Mira, Kaleva, Aya, and Lulu picked up their crossbows and bows, respectively, and completed their preparations.

"Release!" "Boom Snatch!!" was already only about ten meters away, no one could miss, and the sharp arrows of the large and small arrows flying at high speed pierced its skin, not fatal but also successful in making the monster let out a scream of "whoa" and "whoa", and it shook its head and rekindled its hostility towards everyone.

"Run back. The "sage" pulled out Kramer behind him with a bang, while the other four turned around and began to run in the direction behind them.

"Roar—hiss—" In a short moment, the monster that had crossed a distance of ten meters rushed towards it with its fat tail twisting its body, and Henry stood motionless until it rushed to the left and swung his great sword in his hand.

The rope that snapped in the moment of "!!snapping" caused huge fishing nets with large stones to fall from above, and the sturdy fishing nets used to catch large fish were also collected from the village, which was their killer weapon, because there was no long-range weapon strong enough to kill in one hit, and the final means could only be solved in close combat.

There are no absolutes in the world, everything is relative.

Neither strength nor wisdom alone can be considered perfect.

And there is no such thing as perfection, just as there is no such thing as a completely useless thing.

The clever and courageous nature of the story, without any other peasant hunter or knight, is certainly not as reliable as a professional and orderly approach. But to say that they are worthless is also too rigid. If you don't have the cleverness to adapt to the situation, or the courage to face danger.

Then no matter how much you plan, it will not be realized.

At the end of the day, no matter how perfect the plan is, it's also the people who carry it out - "Bang!!!" The monster trapped in the sturdy fishing net writhed wildly, and instead of aiming at the head, the Sage raised Kramer and slashed down at its fat tail.

"Click!!" The muscles and bones played little in the way of the powerful slash, and Henry succeeded in cutting off the fat tail that occupied more than a third of his body, and the monster that felt the unforgettable pain began to writhe its body frantically, and the fallen tail began to writhe as if it were still alive.

In the open field, the others came back with spare torches, and planted new torches in the nearby mud and lit them to brighten up the field.

Everyone was nervously holding their weapons, the battle wasn't over yet, and there was a limit to how long the nets could trap it. The crowd distanced themselves and began to kill as much as they could with their bows and crossbows. "Be careful, it's time to break free!" Henry reminded loudly, the nets had trapped it for less than expected time, and the struggle was too great for the Sage to do more damage with Kramer.

It escaped, but its purpose had been achieved, and the numerous traps weakened the monster, and it appeared exhausted, and stopped in place for half a day without moving, just gasping for breath and exhaling large expanses of white mist.

It was Aya's idea to attack the tail instead of the head.

"Don't forget what it turned out to be. A few hours ago, Miss Doctor said, "Even though it looks like a creature, and the weakness of a creature is basically its head, I don't think it's a matter of course. ”

"It's just a mimesis, it's just mimicking the structure of an animal in some way, and it's not really becoming an animal. ”

So an organ that is a weakness for a living being may not be the same for it. But even so, these imitations and mimicries are still meaningful. ”

"There are a lot of huge creatures that have tails, and they take up a large part of their size. It is precisely because they need a heavy tail to balance their body, otherwise it is difficult to run. For many lizards, the tail is also where they store nutrients. "You can only get one chance, and I think it's more reasonable to aim here and weaken as much as possible than to attack the head that looks like it might be a weakness," she said. ”

"Because of this....... Something that can, can't be said in the usual biological way. ”

The firelight flickered, and the face of the person who said this was a little pale because of nervousness at the moment. The monster that stopped in place stiffened its whole body, and then suddenly bumped up one by one under its skin as if boiling water.

"It's disgusting. Mira and Lulu shuddered.

Henry, on the other hand, glanced at Miss Doctor with a solemn look on her face.

"Your reasoning is probably correct, this thing is still changing. ”

He clenched Kramer.

"The plan to win with wisdom and planning doesn't work, but it has weakened it a lot. Stand back, next. ”

Then he took off his cloak and threw it aside.

"It's time to win by brute force. ”
