Chapter 485: The Black Forest (34)
As everyone went about their jobs, Cheney and Boris set up a campfire and went to the neighborhood to find a few spiny boar carcasses and start preparing the barbecue.
The weather is getting cooler now, and the last battle with the spiny boar has only been a few hours, so the meat is still fresh, and it is getting late in the evening, and people are indeed a little hungry.
During this time, there was a dull crash nearby, and at first many people looked at the source of the sound - it was Caterina who gave the ape leader who wanted to escape a shield slammed into it, causing him to wail and fall back into the pit, but the more times the people were surprised, and even when the sound sounded, they were all doing what they had to do, to the point of turning a blind eye.
"What are you going to do, sir?" Boris whispered to Cheney, "If you don't kill it or let it go, do you want to keep it?"
Cheney paused, he looked up in the direction of the pit, and then said to Boris: "You...... This hunch is quite possible, but we don't have to worry about it, I guess we'll know soon. ”
Then, when the aroma of the roast wafted up, the familiar crashing sound had not been heard for some time.
At this time, the leader of the apes had just moved out of the pit little by little, and sat on the edge of the pit in a daze, looking at the busy humans in front of him with a dull gaze.
Tong Guò had just learned a dozen times, and it had already understood that as long as it showed its desire to attack, or as long as it wanted to take the opportunity to escape, the terrible woman would give it a hard blow with a thick "piece of iron", and the smashed part would generally hurt for a long time, so that by now its whole body was almost unbearable pain.
But in its perception. No matter how terrible the woman with the latte was, she couldn't compare to the man who was sitting not far away, and the leader of the apes felt that the pain in his body could endure it. But the occasional glance at the man made it feel terrified.
It can never forget how strong that man is. The battle with the other party just now, it was like experiencing a baptism of storm, and the frustration it had never had before shattered all its confidence, and it is estimated that even if it is in its prime now, it can't afford to stand in front of the other party to fight.
The other humans seemed to be powerful as well, and the ape leader's gaze swept around, and it was a little puzzled. Because I remember that there is a wolf-like creature that is also on the human side, why is it not here?
Next, it looked back at the corpses of its kind in the distance. A hint of sadness gradually appeared in his eyes, and at the same time, anger rekindled little by little.
The leader of the apes jerked to his feet, and a shadow appeared before his eyes.
With a "bang", Caterina slapped the "iron piece" in the ape's eye directly on the other party's face.
When the shield is removed. The ape staggered back a few steps. Its nosebleed and whimpered, as if it had been aggrieved.
"It means it didn't do anything, it didn't run away, why hit it," said Melissa, who was standing beside Leon
Ever since this little girl was able to transform into a human wolf, she gradually discovered that she could understand the "language" of some other creatures, or that she could understand the simple sounds made by guò creatures. Roughly determine what they are trying to mean.
With this discovery, Melissa would of course tell her regimental commander as soon as possible. So Leon called her over as his full-time "translator".
A smile appeared on Leon's face, but he immediately straightened his face and said, "Ignore it, let Caterina teach it a few more times." ”
The wild boar was roasted piece by piece, and then distributed among everyone's hands, and as the aroma grew stronger, the depressed ape leader finally noticed.
It sat on the ground, slowly raising its head, its nose twitching. Then it searched little by little, and finally saw two people in the distance who were flipping pieces of meat around the campfire.
The leader of the apes obviously had a swallowing motion, and after hesitating for a long time, it finally stood up and quietly moved over there.
Boris and Cheney noticed that the apes were slowly approaching this way, and they exchanged glances, and Cheney picked up a piece of roasted wild boar and sent it to Leon.
"My lord," Cheney whispered, "do you want to subdue this ape?"
Leon smiled at him and nodded.
Young people do have this idea. At the beginning, his goal was, of course, to kill the leader of the apes, because the other party had caused him a lot of trouble along the way, and in the end, the trouble became more and more and more, and he already had a certain threat to them. Moreover, as soon as he and the leader of the apes fought, he found that the opponent's strength was quite strong, although it was still some distance away from Leon himself, but it was not inferior to a melee professional like Boris, even in the forest environment.
With its strength, if it escapes, maybe more apes will appear, and it is slightly better near this distance in the Black Forest, after all, they are all beasts of the same strength as the spiny boar. But if they go deeper inside, once they encounter a truly powerful beast, if they are attacked by an ape at the same time, the result will not be easy to say.
But then he slowly changed his mind.
When the leader of the apes gradually lost confidence in the battle and tried to escape, he once couldn't forget to grab a piece of barbecue, which made the young man feel a little funny, because he used the barbecue to attract the ape community to the encirclement, and in the end, the leader did not accept the lesson and was delayed by the barbecue again, which is simply a true portrayal of "people die for money, birds die for food".
Of course, this is also the expression that apes only have the intellectual capacity of human children—for the sake of something of considerable interest, or for the sake of eating something that is so desperately desirable, regardless of whether it is dangerous or not.
And just after the leader of the apes was kicked down by Melissa, for some reason, the annoyance in Leon's heart that the apes had hurt his companions dissipated somewhat, and a thought suddenly rose to him.
The ape's appetite for food is its weakness, and if it can use food to accomplish its plan to eliminate the threat, why can't it be subdued with food?
The strength of the ape leader is strong, especially in the forest, which is inferior to that of humans. It wasn't a communicative beast like a boar, and it wasn't an inherently evil creature, if it had the opportunity to take it in. Wouldn't it be a boost to the trip to the Black Forest? Even if it can't be subdued, it doesn't matter if it escapes, because looking at its appearance after being "tortured" by itself and Katarina, once it has the opportunity to leave, it is estimated that it will have fled far away, and it will still have a sense of revenge?
So Leon wanted to try to subdue the ape leader, but in his experience. It is not easy to subdue a wild creature, at least it must first wear off all its sharpness and wildness, so that it can be completely convinced. I can no longer resist the heart, and then I am attracted by food or other things that I am interested in, and I will slowly fade away from my wildness and become a true partner of mankind.
That's why Li Ang has always been full of old punches. But he has been controlling the strength. It is necessary to make the leader of the apes feel the pain without inflicting heavy damage on him, and at the same time, it can be regarded as making it pay the corresponding price for the injured companion.
Now it seems that the suffering of the apes is almost over, as long as it continues for a while, it is time to give some sweetness.
So under Leon's prompting, everyone continued to focus on their own things, the barbecue of the barbecue. Eat when it's time to eat, and no one pays attention to the "lonely" ape leader over there.
Only Caterina remained on guard nearby. In case the wild man-ape suddenly erupts and hurts people.
However, it seemed that it had no idea of this at all, and its eyes were just staring at the barbecue in the hands of the nearest mountain man, and it seemed that it was almost drooling.
The ape carefully observed, and suddenly snatched the mountain people's barbecue meat like lightning, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
"Bang", the shield fell hard, and the arm of the ape holding the barbecue was smashed off, and the barbecue fell to the ground.
The ape leader had just been stunned by Caterina and didn't dare to move casually, but at this moment, out of nowhere, he got the courage to become extremely irritable, and let out a roar at the human girl.
Then, Leon leapt to his feet and knocked him face down with a punch, and a human figure immediately appeared in the soft soil.
The ape suddenly became unusually quiet, and if it weren't for the fact that its body was still undulating, maybe the people next to it would think that it had been killed by a punch from Leon.
After a pause, the ape propped its arms on the ground and slowly raised its head, and at this moment its eyes were full of tears, and at the same time its throat was whimpering.
Melissa quietly came behind Leon and whispered, "It means it's hungry, but it doesn't want to hurt people, it just wants to eat meat." ”
Hearing Melissa's "translation", the corners of several girls' mouths raised in unison, but they immediately turned their heads at the same time to prevent others from seeing their smiles.
Luna, the elven girl, had a face full of unbearable suffering, and she mustered up the courage to speak, but was stopped by Se and shook her head at her.
“...... But, but it's pitiful," Luna said in a very low voice.
"Don't look at the beast here with the same eyes we used to have," Ser whispered to him, "and Lord Leon didn't mean to torture it, but to make it one of us, and if we don't wear it away now, it will be dangerous to others later." ”
"Yes," Dan next to him said, "Luna, actually, when we subdued and trained the Nightshade Leopard...... Even the royal court's guards trained the Hippogriffs. ”
The little girl didn't seem to understand, but she nodded, closed her mouth and said no more.
Li Ang stared at the ape leader with an expressionless face, and under his gaze, the tall ape didn't even dare to stand up, and kept lying on the ground.
After a while, the young man raised his hand and pointed to the side, and now more than twenty people were sitting around the campfire, and only a gap remained in this direction.
The ape's eyes were dodging and looking at Leon, and after noticing the other party's movements, it was first startled, and then felt that there was no movement, then looked at Leon's outstretched arm, and then turned its head to look at the empty seat over there.
After repeating this a few times, the leader of the apes seemed to wake up a little, and he tentatively stood up, and slowly moved over until he reached the empty seat, and then sat down on the ground.
The people on either side of it were holding the barbecue, and the ape looked left and right for a long time, and at one point the buttocks were raised, but finally sat back.
And when Boris came over with a few large pieces of roast meat and distributed them to the mountain people, he was able to sit even though his saliva was flowing without any superfluous movements.
At this time, Leon gestured to Boris with his eyes, then took the roast meat in the other party's hand and walked towards the leader of the apes. (To be continued......)
