Chapter 10: The Unfinished Hunt
"Bang!"
The griffon's angry right eye burst open like a pus-pock.
It shook its head violently and wailed.
Juan took the opportunity to get up and run towards the downed SUV.
That's when Morgan fired another shot. Winchester's shotgun bullet, smashing a small hole in the griffin's head, didn't penetrate its gritty skull.
Thorin the Dwarf also joins the band, removing the AK-47 from his back, raising his hands above his head and pulling the trigger to fire.
This seems to be the shooting technique of the African stream before the birth of the Human Alliance, and I really don't know who this dwarf learned from.
Juan removed the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile from the overturned off-road vehicle.
But just as Juan raised his weapon and took aim at the griffin on his shoulder, he noticed that Frodo, who was following in the RV, actually walked behind the griffin barefoot with the elven sword given by his uncle.
This kid is so bold that he doesn't look like a halfling.
"Be careful!" Juan warned loudly.
But Frodo had already swung his sword.
The cold light flickered, and the sword did not pause as if it were slashing through the air, and it seemed that it had not been slashed at all.
But a griffon's tail, nearly half a meter long, with a fluffy bulge at the top, suddenly fell off.
"Whew~!"
The griffon seemed to have been hit hard, rolling on the ground in agony, making it impossible for Juan to lock it into the scope.
"Frodo, come back, you're blocking the gun!" Morgan shouted.
Frodo obediently ran back, his severed griffon tail in his hand.
Thorin, who had just let go of the trigger, started the classical African stream shooting again.
The griffon, as if aware that the gang was not to be messed with, turned around and ran, scurrying into the thick grass before Juan could lock it on.
"Hell, I almost locked it on! What now, Daddy? ”
"To chase or not to chase, you decide."
"Chase!"
Juan, Morgan, and Thorin worked together to righte the overturned buggy, then floated into the air and flew over the grass.
At first, a little blood in the grass gave them direction, but the sudden appearance of a swamp completely cut off that hope.
Juan stared blankly at the small swamp and the long grass around it.
He couldn't see any trace of a griffon passing.
"It didn't touch the grass in the adjacent swamp, it must have jumped straight into the grass from the swamp, cunning fellow."
"So what now?"
"I can't find it, and when we find its blood, it must have run away."
Juan was a little disappointed, this ending was not what he wanted, of course, it was better than dying in the claws of the griffin, but netizens who watched the live broadcast would definitely not be satisfied.
"Do we still have a chance to kill it?"
"See the new Kilimanjaro to the north? This guy came down from that mountain.
"I guess it's going to run to the lair in the mountains, and we can go to the bottom of the mountain to ambush it.
"But not now, now that it is scared, it will definitely find a secret place to hide.
"When it regains its confidence and dares to come out and run, there is a high probability that it will run up the mountain."
"That's all there is to it."
Juan sighed and turned on the blocked subtitles.
Suddenly, above the field of vision, dense words quickly swiped from right to left, and he felt dizzy.
"Griffons are good." “66666。” "Refund the ticket and return the flowers!" "It's a pity that the anchor didn't die." "Take your pants off and show me this!" ……
The SUV returned to the site of the battle, and Juan got out of the car and began to introduce the details of the battle like a stock review.
"Look, there's a lot of blood here, and the griffin fell so hard......"
"Who is the boss talking to?" From the headphones came the question of Frodo, a halfling.
"When it comes to shooting, human tourists are like that," explained the dwarf Thorin self-righteously, "I once met a tourist who filmed a piece of herbivorous dragon for half an hour, analyzing what it had eaten in the morning.
"He also said that he would take this video back as a permanent memorial, and they humans like this."
The number of netizens watching the live broadcast gradually decreased, and Juan announced the end of the live broadcast.
"Come on, anchor!" "Looking forward to the sequel!" "I'll keep the chrysanthemum for you, don't let me down!" ……
Juan was very touched by the deep affection of netizens.
"Don't die, see you next time."
……
On the way to the north of the new Mount Majaro, Juan asked with interest, "I know that there is a Mount Kilimanjaro on the main planet, why is this mountain so similar to that name?" ”
"The name was given by the human conqueror, probably because the mountain is the highest mountain in the vicinity, and it also crosses the equator of the planet."
Morgan, who was driving with a pipe in his mouth, pointed to the sky.
Juan looked up and saw that the rings of planets, which had been as narrow as a rainbow, seemed to have become thinner, like a crack that split the entire sky into north and south.
"The natives of this planet call this mountain a sacred mountain." "They believe that after death, the soul will float to the top of the mountain, and from there, go up to the temple of the moon goddess. ”
"That's the faith of the elves, not us dwarves."
"It's not us halflings, either."
In the band-aided disposable earphones that had not been torn off, there were the plugs of Thorin and Frodo.
But Juan didn't care about this: "You say the moon goddess? But there are no moons on this planet. ”
"There used to be, until humans came to this planet and a war broke out with the elves who originally ruled here, it was blown up, and the planetary rings you see now are the original moon."
"Why blow up the moon?"
"The official version is that it is to completely defeat the elves spiritually, after all, they believe in the goddess of the moon, and we humans can directly blow up their goddess's hometown.
"But there are also rumors that the military sent a large number of hydrogen bombs, ready to completely cleanse the elves on the planet, but before they could do it, the elves surrendered, and they smashed all the hydrogen bombs on the moon because they thought it would be troublesome to transport them back."
Juan listened to Morgan's irresponsible nonsense and saw a large dense forest appear in front of him.
Instead of walking in a straight line through the woods, he turned east along the edge of the woods.
Juan saw that the woods were endless, and he must have made a big circle to go around.
"Why don't you just go there? Isn't it okay to fly over the treetops with more power? ”
"Don't enter the forest."
"You just talk about it, I don't believe it."
However, looking at Morgan's serious expression, which didn't seem like a joke, Juan asked, "Is there a monster in it?" ”
"Soma doesn't allow it."
"Who is Soma? How do you feel like you've heard of this name somewhere? ”
"Soma, the head of the Pioneer Station, the boss of this planet."
"Ah, it's him." Juan remembered the middle-aged white man he had encountered at the service center and had made the humanoids treat them like they were kings.
