The party continued until dark, and the forest was filled with the cries of night owls.

Griffons generally do not fly at night, and the Griffin Barrier Mountains are the territory of griffins, and dire wolves and glazed beasts are rarely seen in this wooded area.

Occasionally, there will be some wind foxes, but as long as those junior demonic beasts appear, it is almost equivalent to stuffing money into the hands of everyone in the adventure group.

The camp was built in a glade, and this time Instructor Nora actually prepared a canvas, she nailed a cross-shaped bracket to a tree, and hung the canvas on it, making a simple fence, so that a simple bathroom with a large tree in the middle was made, and finally hung the water gathering rune board on the trunk of the tree, and the dripping water droplets kept falling.

There were five female elves in the party, and none of them could stand the problem of not being able to take a shower before bedtime, so Instructor Nora made such a simple public bath.

When the tents were set up, everyone built their tents around the campfire.

At night, Instructor Gru and Instructor Eleanor were on duty, and when they arrived in the Griffon Fortress Mountains, Roy, Sabrina, and Miss Christine no longer had to continue their night duty, and the three of them only needed to conserve their stamina and trek through the mountains and forests with the adventure group.

The first day went smoothly as there were mountain trails and no dangers.

The jungle at night is not quiet, the woods are full of whispering sounds, some nocturnal insects are active in the woods, and those predators come out one after another.

The group's camp was the quietest, with no visitors except for a few moths attracted by the firelight.

Roy had a good night's sleep and felt more comfortable than sleeping in a hotel.

The next day, just after dawn, the adventure group hit the road.

Marjery's guide was at the front of the line along the way, and he finally had the appearance of a guide, and he did an excellent job of finding mountain paths, setting up campsites, and so on.

Along the way, the instructors of several colleges rarely spoke, except for necessary communication.

Each time you walk for two hours, you will rest for a quarter of an hour, replenish some water and food, and then continue walking.

Instead of choosing elf biscuits, a march ration that would last five days without going hungry, they continued to eat breadfruit and berries.

After two days of hiking and climbing, I finally got out of the dense jungle area, and further on, the woodland became very sparse, and in this area of weeds and sparse woods, it was the hunting ground of the half-blood elves.

Many of the griffon traps are set up here, but they are crudely made, and in order to prevent other elven hunters from falling into the traps, signs are placed around the traps indicating that there is a trap in the area.

Griffons have sharp teeth and can bite through any wire web, so regular hunting nets cannot hunt griffons.

The half-blood elven hunters here have come up with a simple and crude hunting method.

However, the amount of work required for each trap was huge, and they would now dig a large pit in the wilderness, enough for a griffon to easily fall into such a huge pit, and at the bottom of the pit would be arranged some ground spears and traps, which were almost all fixed to the bottom of the pit, and were very strong.

The craters were about six or seven meters deep, covered with tree branches, and surrounded by long grass.

Elven hunters would hunt some platehorn deer or argali, and then tie them to traps as bait.

These cattle deer or argali, weighing less than 100 catties, they could not step on the lid of these traps, in order to ensure that the cattle or argali, the elf hunters had to mow the grass and feed these baits every day.

When griffons see their prey in the meadows, they usually fold their wings and pounce on their heads.

Their impact and sturdy bodies often lead to stab them headlong into traps, which are deep enough for griffons to spread their wings and climb with four claws, never making it alive if they hit the trap.

And these traps are surrounded by some long cattails, even if the trap cover is broken and covered by the cattails, these traps will be very hidden.

At this time, the elven hunters still did not dare to approach these griffins.

They usually wait until the griffons are dying of hunger in the trap before they run out to get rid of the griffons that fall into the trap.

The elves classify the griffin as a third-level monster because of the magical ability it possesses, which is the 'Iron Will'.

In the code of elves, this magic is considered a third-level magic, so the griffin is naturally defined as a third-level magical beast.

The griffons will activate this magic when they dive to the ground, and their bodies will slam into the ground like a solid iron bullet, and the griffons themselves are protected by the Iron Will and will not be damaged.

According to Marjery's guide, there was once a griffin that swooped down on an elven swordsman standing on a boulder.

The swordsman was also very desperate, and when he saw the griffin swooping down from the sky, he didn't dodge at all...... It wasn't until the griffon rushed in front of him that he dodged with a jump slash.

The griffin slammed headlong into the boulder, and the boulder was instantly torn apart, and the griffin rushed out intact.

They fold their wings on land, similar to the spiny-tailed crystal lions, and can pounce and bite their prey......

Therefore, it is not too strange for griffons to rush into the trap when they see their prey, and sometimes they will crush all the ground spears in the trap.

But they were the only ones who couldn't break free from the traps that were doped with magic iron.

……

Not long after the group entered the barren meadow, they saw several elven hunters standing on the edge of a trap, pulling a dead griffon upward.

When the guide passed by, he greeted the elven hunters cordially.

The weather was hot, there was no shade in the woods, and the party was roasted listlessly under the sun, but it was impossible to walk through the meadow at night, because the meadow was full of traps, and the signs could not be seen at night.

The slope was already a little steep, and the griffons in the sky were starting to look at each other.

They couldn't tell if the party was a decoy or not, so they didn't dare to act.

In this way, the party spent the third night of entering the griffin fortress in a sparse wood.

The party will be out of the wooded area tomorrow and will enter a steep hill full of rocks and grass, where it will be completely exposed to the griffons.

It is also extremely difficult to climb the griffin barrier, which is full of loose and fine rubble, and if you step on the loose gravel, your legs will sink into it, and your whole body will be carried by the rubble and slide downward.

If you are unlucky enough to cause a landslide, you may end up buried in a rockflow.

Therefore, this section of the road is more dangerous than climbing the cliff, and you can only walk sideways along the mountain and increase the height little by little.

At this time, what the adventure group can't avoid is those griffons in the sky.

Instructor Nora wants to test the combat effectiveness of the expedition group, so tomorrow is not mainly on the road, but preparing to hunt a griffon in the wilderness.

Only adventuring groups that can hunt griffons are qualified to talk about jumping over griffin barriers.

……

That night, Sabrina sat in the tent with her heavy sword in her arms, and for the first time she traveled to the plane with the party, she was not very satisfied with her performance, and she failed to show her strength in these few battles.

Sabrina inevitably had a little self-doubt about herself.

Roy was looking for flowers of light everywhere along the way, and he even prepared a few wooden flower pots in his magic belt bag, just waiting to see the flowers of light and transplant them into the pots.

Unfortunately, I didn't even see the shadow of the Flower of Light along the way.

On the morning of the fourth day, as the group gathered for breakfast, Instructor Nora reiterated everyone's mission, with the three young students supporting the attack.

Miss Christine is an elven archer, and this time she has prepared some armor-piercing arrows.

"I repeat, when the griffin turns on the iron will, don't face it head-on, we have to be ready to pull each other, its iron will can't last long, fifteen seconds at most, so we have to be patient, and we must also pay attention to safety!" Instructor Nora said to everyone.

"Let's not think of it as a third-order demonic beast, it doesn't deserve this title at all, in my opinion, as long as it successfully evades its iron will, the griffin is a second-order demonic beast at most!" Instructor Fergill also said with a relaxed face.

"Everyone should be careful, in the early days of the battle, Christine and I can't help everyone." Instructor Gru always had a serious look on his face, with a straight face and no expression at all.

After getting along for the past few days, Roy found that Instructor Gru's appearance was very inconsistent with his heart, and he was cold and hot.

"This battle, centered on me, Virgil, and Eleanor, we will attract the griffons, and then you will do it!" Instructor Nora said to everyone.

"Got it......"

"Long-winded!"

The members of the party replied one after another.

Instructor Nora then clapped her hands vigorously and said loudly:

"Everyone, pack up and get ready to go!"

Guide Marjery was always at the front of the line, and this time he also wore a set of leather armor with special paint on it.

There was an oil painter who painted some wild grass and gravel on his leather armor, and if he was asked to lie on the rubble, the Marjery guide would be able to merge with the rubble by lying flat on the stone......

Roy looked clumsy in a hard leather armor with a demonic pattern and a shield in his hand.

However, his magic pattern was praised by Eleanor's instructor, because it was a hard leather armor made of petrified lizard leather, so the leather armor itself also had stone patterns on it, and if Roy activated the 'Stone Skin Technique', he would also turn into a pile of stones......

Of course, apart from Scarlett Mage, no one in the party knows the power of Roy's magical pattern structure for the time being.
