Chapter 63: Strange Monsters
Unconsciously, Li Yunyang walked out of this prosperous area along the official road, the further he went, the more remote he became, walking from east to west, it was a green crop, looking at the large rice seedlings with lush leaves, Li Yunyang also thought about it, when the first harvest came, would it bring a big surprise to everyone?
Looking at the four hunters walking towards him, he couldn't go any further, and it was estimated that if he went down, it would be barren mountains and mountains, Li Yunyang also turned around, and then walked back slowly along this avenue.
"It's strange, I've never seen so many footprints. ”
"Yes, didn't you pay attention, in that group of demonic beasts, there will be at least one lion spotted beast and one eagle-eyed beast, I saw the hair falling on the ground, I can't be wrong!"
"I'm obedient, they're all second-level demonic beasts, so many, if you encounter them, you can do this!"
Because he got closer, Li Yunyang heard the mutual discussion between the four hunters, and when the hunters encountered the demonic beasts, it was naturally nothing, but when he heard that there were several near his territory, he couldn't help but be curious, for Li Yunyang, there was nothing more important than the safety of the territory.
"A few fellows, what kind of demonic beasts were you talking about just now?" Li Yunyang slowed down and waited for the hunter behind him to come up, and then marched in the same row with them.
"Yes, at the foot of Mount Camille on the outskirts of Averell's territory, it's usually just some ordinary beasts, but today it's very strange, it's useless to see a beast after a day, and it's unprecedentedly let me find a lot of signs of monsters infested, it's really scary. ”
"Isn't it, as soon as this spring comes, there will be more beasts, and I will go out early and hope to hunt a few beasts to fill the house, if it weren't for Opa calling me, I think I would have fed the monsters by now! God, I can even feel the way they stared at me out of sight......
The slightly dark and thin Orion deliberately shivered as he spoke, causing several other Orions to laugh, but Li Yunyang always felt as if something was wrong.
"Warcraft, also have the habit of living in groups?"
"I've never met this before, but it's said that Parson wolves like to hunt in groups. ”
"That's different, Parson Giant Wolf is only a first-level demonic beast, and it is not very common on our side, they only like to stay on the Xingge Plain. One of the hunters didn't seem to agree with his statement, and corrected him: "Besides, haven't you noticed, that pile of footprints is obviously not of a population, at least judging from the fallen hair, there are at least the lion spotted beast and the hawkeye beast!"
"Suck ...... When did these monsters, who have always been loners, like to live in groups?"
"Haha, maybe they want to have some mongrels, right?"
"Haha......"
Looking at the Orion who was playing haha all the way, Li Yunyang's face looked a little solemn, for Li Yunyang, who had watched the animal world for so long, this was completely contrary to common sense!
Judging from the experience of watching this exploration series for more than ten years, almost all beasts that live alone will at least have a very obvious feature, that is, a kind of possession of their own territory.
And it still appeared near the Everriel Territory, and a second-level demonic beast was enough for the soldiers to eat a pot, so there would be a few more at once...... Strange, if it was really a group of second-level demonic beasts mixed together and appeared around the territory inhabited by humans, and these carnivores were so close, there was no reason not to invade the territory of Averiel?
I couldn't figure it out, Li Yunyang thought about this unexplainable question all the way back to his baron's mansion, Li Yunyang poured himself a cup of tea, sat in the empty hall, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, so he simply called a soldier to come over, sent him to inform the knight lord of the Everil Lord, asked him to pay more attention to the security of the territory, and wrote a letter about what he had just heard, which the soldier took to the knight lord.
Seeing the soldiers running out on horseback, Li Yunyang was a little relieved, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, it was just a group of animals with a negative IQ, as for such a fuss.
Soon, the soldier who delivered the letter rushed back before dark, at this time Li Yunyang and Stanny were eating in Shantang, because neither of them had a small family, and there was nothing taboo between big men, so all along, Li Yunyang and Stanny had been eating at the same table, and they had originally called the old butler Robin to eat together, but Robin was an old antique, and whatever Li Yunyang said, he just didn't eat at the same table with them, and he kept talking about the difference between respect and inferiority. The ancient teachings of the past dynasties or something, in the end, Li Yunyang didn't bother to listen to him talk about that bunch of broken truths, so it was up to him.
In addition to bringing back a few words, Li Yunyang also received a reply from Averiel, a knight lord named Arnold, and the knight Li Yunyang also remembered what the young man's name was for the first time, and he had only read the names of these people on paper at the appointment ceremony before, but these fucking names, Li Yunyang really couldn't get used to them, this is just a name, and if you read it again, it will be Arnold. Harvison is up!
"My lord, Knight Arnold also discovered the signs of this unknown monster yesterday, and when his subordinates rushed over, he seemed to be preparing to report to him. Watching Li Yunyang tear open the envelope, the soldier echoed beside him.
"Has he explained anything?" Li Yunyang read the letter from beginning to end, and asked the soldier who had returned from the message with a frown.
In fact, whether this letter is written or not is really like this bird, it looks like a lot of things have been written on it, in fact, the sentence that the soldier said, has been fully summarized, if a letter is counted as a thousand words, the first three hundred words are what this Arno knight wants to say, and the back ...... Hey, is this a common problem of civil servants? If you don't praise the leader, will the leader die if you don't greet the leader with a few words?
"No!" the bird soldier pretended to think hard before replying with a stern face.
"Okay, you go down......" Li Yunyang's face hung a black line.
Stanny, who was sitting on the side of the meal, watched the two of them play dumb riddles word by word, which really made him itch and panic when he listened. "What's going on?"
"No, it's just that I overheard a few Orions chatting today. Then Li Yunyang repeated what he heard today to Stanny, and then threw this bullshit letter to Stanny, of course, the most important thing is that he also spent seventy percent of his time describing his thoughts and doubts to Stanny.
"No, if you guess correctly, this is a stepping point!" After listening to Li Yunyang's rambling words, Stanny rolled his eyes and pondered for a moment, his expression was very stern, "It's a reconnaissance operation against Averiel's territory!"
"Come on!" Li Yunyang smiled, "Just this group of fifth-level brain-dead short-circuit animals who don't even know one plus one?
Stanny didn't speak, just looked at Li Yunyang crawling and laughing with an expressionless face, in such an atmosphere, Li Yunyang naturally smiled and smiled, and he couldn't laugh.
"Have you ever heard of the Warcraft Tide?" Seeing that Li Yunyang didn't smile and felt embarrassed, Stanny asked leisurely, still without a little expression on his face.
"What?" It can be seen that Stanny doesn't seem to be joking, Li Yunyang had to clean up his laughter, but Li Yunyang didn't seem to understand this unfamiliar word.
"It was an army of demonic beasts driven by high-level intelligent demonic beasts, engaged in a fierce battle with humans for territory and resources. Stanny's eyes gradually drifted into the distance, "One by one, the crazy demonic beasts, under the leadership of the advanced intelligent demonic beasts, magically blended together, there is no infighting, only obedience! Slowly gathered into a huge army of demonic beasts, they have formation, purpose, rhythm, and even attack and retreat are orderly! They roared highly, tearing through the human defenses, flooding villages like a tide, and leveling one territory after another......
The wandering poet is the wandering poet, in a few simple words, Li Yunyang seemed to see that tragic scene, flesh and blood were flying, corpses were everywhere, and the bloody monster with his mouth brutally pounced on a farmer with a hoe, revealing those two rows of sharp teeth, and tore off his head in one bite......
Without shuddering, Li Yunyang came back to his senses, "How is it possible!"
Stanny soothed his feelings and glanced at Li Yunyang, who looked incredulous, "More than twenty years ago, in the Bledor Kingdom of the Principality of Tenghui, I witnessed this human tragedy with my own eyes. ”
"And according to historical records, the most recent one was more than eighty years ago, and there was also a demonic beast invasion in Viscount Brory, but that time the beast tide was only beginning to take shape, so it did not cause a large number of casualties, but there were still five knight leaders who fell in this battle of human and beast defense. ”
"it! Five knight leaders, still say that the casualties are not big?" Li Yunyang jumped up.
"Lord Allen!" Stanny was very dissatisfied with Li Yunyang's interruption, and he was also very dissatisfied with Li Yunyang's tone, "Do you know, for more than twenty years, the beast tide I witnessed with my own eyes almost razed the entire Bledor Kingdom to the ground! If I hadn't finally met the Sword Sect Master Lord Morton, I would have fed the demonic beasts in that mighty beast tide!"
At the mention of this Morton, Stanny's eyes lit up, and his face was religious.
"The Viscount of Brory is actually a territory with frequent beast tides, for thousands of years, almost every few decades to a hundred years, there will always be such a beast tide, and the most recent one is more than eighty years ago...... If you don't believe me, there are still many documents in the study in the house, so you may want to check them out. ”
Of course Li Yunyang didn't believe it! Not that he didn't believe what Stanny said, nor did he not believe in the so-called once-in-a-century beast tide, he just didn't believe that his luck would be so bad!
Staring at Stanny's expressionless face for a while, Li Yunyang still had the intention of eating, dropped the dishes and chopsticks and rushed to the study......
