Chapter 73: The Fox Who Will Never Be Caught (1)
Thetis smiled, "I can guess the approximately." ”
Amphigris was amazed and said, "Oh, let's hear it." ”
Thetis combed the long wind-blown hair on her forehead and said softly, "I have seen people who have been bitten by poisonous snakes, and when they cannot find a doctor to treat them, they usually catch the poisonous snake that bites him, smear the wound with snake blood, and then boil the snake meat and eat it. You're probably doing the same thing, the lion's skin must have been cut with its teeth or claws, right?"
After hearing this, Amphiglis gave a thumbs up and praised loudly: "The beauty is really smart, I thought about it for a long time and there was no good way, and finally I had an idea, and held the lion's own claws as a knife, so I peeled off the lion's skin." I made a lion's skin out of it, and I'm still drying it on the wall at home, so you can look back and see how beautiful it is. ”
Excellence said that although this big brother is fierce, he is as thick and fine as a flower monk, and if he can go out and have a fight, he will definitely become a world-famous hero.
The three of them talked as they walked in the predetermined direction. Zhuo Zhuo said at this time: "Big brother, what's the matter with that fox, what kind of fox do you still need to take someone to catch it personally?"
When Amphigris spoke of the fox, his head immediately became as big as a fight, and his excited expression had long since disappeared, and his face was full of depression, and he said bitterly: "After I came back from the Peloponnese with that lion's skin, the whole Thebai was in a stir, and even the king, who had always had an opinion about me, personally invited me to the palace for a drink. Brother, you also know that I am a bit of a big mouth, not to mention that I drank a little too much that day, so I blew a few words in front of the princes and ministers in the palace, and then this damned fox came. ”
Thetis was very curious when she heard this, and asked, "Big brother, what did you say that you could cause such a big reaction?"
Anfiglis said embarrassedly: "I was so drunk that I couldn't even talk with my brain, so I bragged goodbye to a little lion, the most difficult monster in the world to catch, and I would definitely be able to catch it." Who knew that the next day this fox would immediately appear outside the damn city, and I had a big deal ahead of me, and I couldn't catch it if I didn't want to. ”
Excellence made him arouse his curiosity, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, what kind of fox can make it difficult for you to be like this, and it will not be able to fly?"
Amphigliss frowned, pouted in annoyance, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, that damn guy can not only fly, but also magic, and can blow a hurricane with a flick of his tail, and the crops outside the city make it unseemly, otherwise why would I be tired and tired to catch it." Not only does it fly, but it also has a keen sense of smell, and it knows exactly where we are ambushing people and where we are laying nets, and every time I watch it slip away from our encirclement. My brother has never been so cowardly. ”
After hearing this, Thetis moved, and whispered in Zhuo Zhuo's ear: "I'm afraid this fox is really difficult to catch?"
Excellence wondered, "Why, you know it? ”
Thetis waved her hand and said lightly: "It's still uncertain, but it's a little similar to the legendary one, has your eldest brother offended some god, otherwise who would give him this problem?"
As soon as Excellence told Thetis the words, Amphiglis couldn't think of a clue after thinking for a long time, and said in confusion: "I have never been ungodly or sinful against God!"
Thetis smiled and said, "Now is not the time to pursue this, let's take a look at the fox first, and it may not be the one I think." ”
The three of them then sped forward, and soon caught up with the crowd in front of them. After walking for a while, Zhuo Yan pointed ahead and said, "There, it's there." ”
Everyone watched it for a long time and didn't find it, Zhuo Yan saw that everyone didn't believe it, and said aggrievedly to Zhuo Zhuo: "It's really there, why don't they believe me!"
"Good girl, how far is it?" Excellence knew that she had a keen eye, and she might have seen it.
"Well, it's about four or five miles. Zhuo Yan was a little unsure.
Excellence whispered to Amphiglis: "Big brother, believe that she is right, she must be in front." ”
Although Amphiglis was skeptical, there was no need for Excellence to deceive himself, it didn't matter if he tried, he chased people in the direction pointed by Zhuo Yan.
After walking for a few miles, Zhuo Yan pointed proudly and said loudly: "That's not, it's there!"
Excellence looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a silver fox bouncing back and forth in a field of crops, and as it jumped, it sent gusts of wind and the surrounding crops immediately fell to the ground. When the fellow saw that all the crops around him had fallen, he immediately went to a new place and danced there, and then all the crops around him fell to the ground.
Most of the surrounding crowd had red eyes, and they were in a desperate posture of pounceing at any time.
Excellence knows that ordinary people in this era have no other industries, regard crops as their lifeblood, and it is strange that they do not get angry in the face of this situation.
Amphiglis made a gesture, and immediately several strong young men came to his side, he gave a few commands, and those people immediately nodded in agreement, and then led the dog to the predetermined place.
After a while, when he saw that the encirclement was ready, he did not speak, but drew his bow and swished arrows, and the bow he used was extremely domineering, and the arrows flew towards the dancing fox like meteors.
It's just that the fox didn't seem to care, and didn't dodge, and the arrows flew in front of it and suddenly lost their power, and fell weakly to the ground. The fox gave the crowd a mocking look, and then leapt into the air, flying straight northeast.
The men in ambush shouted and immediately chased after them with their hounds.
The three of them also chased after him for a while, but the fox was extremely fast, and the wind flashed a few times, and everyone could no longer see its trace.
Zhuo Yan wanted to fly to chase after her, but Thetis held her in her arms and whispered a few words, and she reluctantly lay on Thetis's shoulder and did not move.
Those hounds also seemed to be depressed by the fox, and they all barked at the sky to vent the depression in their hearts.
Amphigris returned to the three of them, and said helplessly: "Brother, you have also seen it, my bow was given by Apollo when he was learning art from the teacher, and my brother didn't dare to say that it hit 100%, but he basically never missed it since he left the school, and I shot five arrows in a row, and I didn't even shoot a fox hair." Can't catch up, it swoops a few times and disappears, those hounds can't find any trace of it, you say my brother can not be depressed!"
What the hell is this fox, how does it feel more powerful than the fox spirit, it was obviously funny just now!
Thetis looked straight at this time, and looked at the two of them: "Big brother, extraordinary, I can now be sure that this is the fox, and it is impossible for us not to catch it." ”
Zhuo Zhuo said: "What kind of fox is so good, nine-tailed fox? I think even the nine-tailed fox may not be able to dodge the arrows shot by my eldest brother." ”
Titis hugged Zhuo Yan on her shoulders and slowly told a story.
It turned out that Hera was very unwilling after being attacked by Zeus back then, and bluntly said that Zeus would marry Mingmei, otherwise it would be endless. Zeus was in love with him at this time, so he agreed to come down and organize a huge wedding.
The god king got married, Hera became the queen of heaven after that, who dared not to give face to the gods, the wedding scene was not lively, the gifts sent by the gods were all good things, among which the two things Hera liked the most from Gaia, the mother of the earth, one is the world-famous golden apple tree, and the other is this silver fox, called Tomesa's fox.
Hera loved it, and Zeus, seeing that it was so clever and lovely, had a hot brain, and even made a vow in front of the gods that it would never be caught.
Thetis frowned, looked at Amphigris and said, "Big brother, this fox is Hera's favorite thing, and she has been living in her holy garden, how did she come here, have you offended the queen of heaven?"
Amphigris thought for a long time and didn't know where he had offended the queen, so he shook his head and said, "Although I don't like to visit the temple, I have never done anything to offend the queen?"
At this time, Excellence suddenly remembered the statue of the Sphinx in Thebais Square, and said in his heart that Hera had made a monster in Thebais many years ago to make people guess riddles, and at this time she sent a fox who would never be caught to wreak havoc, could she have a grudge against Thebais City? So it seems that the lion is probably also her masterpiece, how can there be such a terrifying lion in the mortal world.
Excellence said the doubts in his heart, Amphigris still didn't know how Thebai City offended Hera, looked at Thetis next to her, and said that she didn't know what the origin was, but she knew the origin of the fox, it didn't seem simple, maybe she could think of a way to catch it.
So he said to Thetis with a respectful expression: "Sister, my brother has never begged anyone in his life, not even God, and now my brother begs you, if you want to know how to catch this fox, just tell my brother." I've got to catch this fox, or I'm going to die. ”
Thetis shook her head and said, "It's hard to catch this fox, legend has it that it likes to trouble the god of love, and will harass it if it's fine." Aphrodite was so bored that she asked her lover Ares, the god of war, to help, and the god of war chased her for three days and three nights, and was then ridiculed by Hera. ”
Zhuo Zhuo said depressedly: "Is there no way to catch it? Just now I saw this beast laughing at us, and if I caught it, I had to skin it." ”
Thetis pondered for a moment and said, "There's a way, but I don't know if it's going to work." ”
When Anfiglis heard this, he hurriedly said: "Good girl, you just have to say, of course it's good, but if it doesn't work, it's a big deal, let's think of other ways." ”
Thetis said, "You all know Europa, right?"
Excellence waved his hand and said, "What do you think of us, how can the Daimyo of Europa not know that it is not the lover of Zeus, the mother of Minos and Radamandis, and what does this have to do with her?"
Thetis then told the reason, which led to a great tragedy.
