The party prepares to trap a griffin.

It's as simple as an elf walking alone on a grassy hillside and encountering an active attack from griffons hovering in the sky.

Instructor Nora wants to let the members of the party know how the griffons fight, so he plans to bring a griffon over on the hillside.

At the same time, the party also needs to prove the strength of each member to the Majeri guide.

Although the strength of the instructors was reflected in the previous hunts, those monsters were not griffins after all......

Marjery's guide needs to know if the group is capable of hunting griffons.

This is one of the necessary conditions to climb the Barrier Mountains.

If the adventuring group can't defeat even a single griffin, then it's better to run back to the fortress village before the woods disappear completely.

The woodland had thinned out, and the grassy slopes were dotted with low bushes.

Some of the shrubs are covered with thorns, but the grass is covered with gravel, and the slopes are very steep, and there are occasional gravel landslides here, and the environment is very bad.

However, it is also a natural pasture for argali, with their favorite food and cliffs where they like to jump, so it is not uncommon for adventuring groups to see some sheep jumping up and down the hillside.

They are also one of the most popular rations for griffons.

Argali, who are agile and adept at climbing over rock walls, can only pounce on argali's grassy slopes, and once they climb the rock wall, the griffons are reluctant to catch them.

The griffons didn't want to hit their heads on the cliff face, either.

Although the griffon has an iron will and can knock a large hole out of the rock wall, it will never be able to catch the nimble argali.

Almost every member of the party wore a hat woven from strips of bushes on their heads, and everyone lay on their stomachs in the grass.

Instructor Eleanor was meant to be a decoy.

But this time, Instructor Virgil took the initiative to stand up, saying that he was better suited for the task than Instructor Eleanor, after all, a swordsman would be more flexible......

So he lay on a rock and basked in the sun.

Instructor Nora and Instructor Eleanor hid closest to him.

Roy always followed Instructor Gru, so he was a bit far away.

Sabrina, Miss Christine, and Scarlett Wizard hide in another hidden place.

Instructor Virgil was lying alone on a boulder, looking up at the blue sky.

High in the sky, there are almost no clouds, and at a glance you can see the steep peak, where a few griffons soar back and forth.

At the Griffin Barrier, there is no telling how many peaks there are that reach into the sky, and it is clear that there is a huge griffon's lair on this peak, or simply a griffon tribe.

In Instructor Fergill's line of sight, most of the sky was blue and half was a towering cliff.

Suddenly, a griffon glides down from a high altitude, spreads its wings and soars with the current, tightening its wings and falling like a star.

Apparently the griffon had spotted its prey, which is why it swooped down so quickly.

Instructor Virgil was a little excited, his elbows and feet were propped up on the boulder, obviously lying on the boulder, but he could jump up at any moment......

Later, Instructor Virgil discovered that the griffon's sudden fall was not here, but on a grassy slope far away.

Instructor Virgil was so angry that he sat up from the boulder, he had been exposed to the sun for a long time, and he felt that the skin on his face was a little hot, hoping that a griffon would find him, and then swoop down to let him show the demeanor of a swordsman, and he even thought about what martial arts to use to avoid the griffon's dive.

Unfortunately, the griffon's target was clearly not Instructor Fergill.

Roy, who was squatting beside Instructor Gru, also sighed with great regret in his heart, and could only continue to wait......

I thought that when these griffons saw the elves appear, they didn't immediately pounce on them?

But in fact, those little black dots lingering on the summit have no intention of rushing down to hunt.

Instructor Virgil waited on the boulder for half an hour, his face sunburned, but the griffin had no intention of flying.

Instructor Nora stood out of the grass with a head full of thorny vines, and shouted to Instructor Virgil lying on the boulder:

"Virgil, get up! We walked straight up the lawn to see if they dared to rush down......"

Instructor Virgil quickly rolled over and jumped off the boulder.

The other instructors also stood up from the ambush point, and the group, led by Majeri's guide, continued to walk forward.

This grassy slope is also very large, full of wild grasses, gravel and thorn bushes, and the vegetation here is rather peculiar, with few leaves, many of which are very thick.

There were few snakes to be seen in the barren meadows, but there were a few hopping-legged iguanas, which occasionally ran out of a crack in the rocks, and they ran so fast that they would disappear from sight if they were not careful.

Further up, the grass became scarce, and some sea buckthorn grass and moss appeared on the ground.

The bare rocks of the mountain have become more numerous.

The Marjery guide jumped up and down the mossy rocks and walked sideways along the mountain wall, with no intention of climbing the rock wall.

Roy noticed that there were a lot of gravel areas on these grassy slopes, and Marjery's guide saw these gravel areas and wanted to make a detour.

Elven hunters rarely enter this area, except for a few groups that go further up, and the higher they are, the easier it is to come into contact with griffons.

The trail is very difficult to walk, and the team stops to rest much more often under the sun.

Roy licked his dry lips, took out the water bladder from his waist, first poured a breath, and then poured the rest of the water on top of his head, he looked up at the sky, the threat above his head was still there, but there were no griffons flying this way.

He didn't think that the griffons couldn't see the group, but that the griffons were also watching.

It's easy to get tired walking on the gravel-filled slopes.

Instructor Nora always let the members of the adventure party rest frequently, and along the way, Roy also encountered some strange stone arches and faults dozens of meters high.

"We'll have to climb up from here...... Marjery said, pointing to the cliff more than twenty meters high.

"It's easy, wait for me!"

Scarlett Magician didn't hesitate, and directly pulled out the magic handle from the magic waist bag, this magic handle with a helm handle, a floating device, and a thrust device is actually not like a real handle at all......

Scarlett Magician flew straight up with the magic handle, and after a few moments she was standing on top of the Fault Cliff, then she took out a bundle of rope from her magic waist bag, tied one end to a raised rock, and then threw the whole bundle down.

Instructor Eleanor picked up the end of the rope in front of her, tugged hard twice, and found that the rope was still very strong, so she didn't hesitate any longer, and was the first to climb up......

Instructor Eleanor pulled the rope alternately with her hands and her feet on the cliff wall, and she walked very fast.

"Sabrina, you're following Instructor Eleanor!"

"Yes!" Sabrina hurriedly learned Eleanor's movements and quickly climbed up.

"Christine!"

"Yes!"

"Roy ......"

Instructor Nora had the three young elves walk in front, followed by Instructor Gru, Guide Magerry, and Instructor Virgil.

Instructor Nora walked at the rear.

Sabrina climbed very quickly, and she easily followed Instructor Eleanor to the top of the bare fault cliff, where there was only a narrow platform, and beyond that, a large piece of gravel through which it was time to climb the real cliff.

Sabrina crouched on the edge of the cliff, pulling Miss Christine up and then Roy with her hand.

Just as Roy was standing on the narrow platform, Instructor Eleanor, who was watching the sky from the side, shouted:

"Hurry up, everyone, there's a griffin flying towards us......"

Roy was startled.

He hurriedly looked into the sky, and sure enough, a griffin appeared in his sight, which had curled up its fleshy wings and swooped down on the cliff like a cannonball.

Instructor Gru followed Roy and quickly jumped up, he took a few steps to the side, then held the battle bow in his hand, and an arrow was placed on the bow arm, aiming at the griffon in the sky.

The Marjery guide was even more frightened and quickly climbed up......

Instructor Virgil hung himself on a rope, looked up at the griffin, and shouted:

"Nora, you go up first, I'm here to get its attention!"

Instructor Nora couldn't argue with Instructor Virgil at this time, seeing that the griffin swooped down like a cannonball, Instructor Nora almost stepped on Instructor Fergill's body and climbed the rock wall.

Instructor Gru and Roy quickly moved outward, and on the other side, Guide Margery, Sabrina, and Miss Christine kept retreating.

Instructor Nora and Instructor Eleanor stood to the left and right of Instructor Fergil.

When Majeri saw Gru retreat to a distance of thirty yards, he refused to retreat any further, and hurriedly shouted to Instructor Gru: "Retreat a little, the explosion circle is very big!" ”

By the time he said this, the griffons had already rushed down.

Just as it was about to collide, the color of the griffon's body began to change, and the original light brown body gradually changed to the color of black iron.

The griffin slammed headfirst into the rock wall where Instructor Virgil was, and in an instant, countless rocks cracked and collapsed.

Instructor Nora and Instructor Eleanor retreated to safety in embarrassment.

Just when everyone was looking for Instructor Fergill, they found that Instructor Virgil was holding a sword in both hands and constantly dancing around his body, and the sword light actually formed an impermeable light shield under the frequent dancing of Instructor Fergel, and all the stones that flew over touched the sword light shield and instantly fell apart.

Behind Instructor Virgil was the shadow of a crusader greatsword, and it seemed that he had turned on the 'momentum' to get out of the blasted rubble.

At this moment, the griffon, covered in a layer of iron armor, actually followed Instructor Virgil and pounced.

The rubble fell, and the griffin was not harmed......
