Chapter 39: The Beastmaster
During the insurance period, Mu Sheng still retreated dozens of miles with his team, and everyone was ambushed in the grove and carefully hidden, which was not far from the base camp, and could be reached within two quarters of an hour.
Mu Shenghao took out his homemade copper telescope in his spare time, played with it, and observed the situation in the distance.
Before, in the Gongzi Mansion, when I had nothing to do, I bought high-purity crystals at a high price and found craftsmen to carefully polish them for more than a year before they were completed, and the production cost was simply too expensive.
There is no way, there is glass in this era now, but the name is different, it is called glass, the problem is that the process of firing glass is too backward, and there are too many impurities in glass, which cannot meet the requirements of making telescopes.
Mu Sheng had no choice but to replace it with extremely expensive high-purity crystals, which were just boring in his spare time and played with them as toys, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now......
When the knights saw Gongzi Sheng take out a copper tube from his arms and put it on his eyes, they didn't know what he was doing, they all looked at him curiously, and they didn't dare to ask the leader what this thing was.
At this time, dozens of demon beasts ran out of the forest dozens of miles to the southeast, and a tall demon beast leader with a sword bone like a tiger on his back rushed out of the mountain forest with the beast group, as if there was something behind them chasing them.
The leading sword tiger demon beast seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, the sword bones behind it were broken several times, and the fur was burned black and yellow, covered in blood.
At this moment, four more demon beasts rushed out of the dense forest, although there were only four demon beasts, but looking at their fierce and vicious appearance, they should be the initiators of chasing and killing the group of demon beasts in front of them.
One of the strongest two-horned red monster beasts as strong as a bison raised its head, and with a beast roar, several flames erupted from its mouth and rushed towards the injured sword tiger demon beast.
The Sword Tiger Beast could only be forced to dodge left and right and be embarrassed, and the other three enemy demon beasts took the opportunity to rush over from three directions and slaughter the servant beasts behind the Sword Tiger Demon mercilessly.
The servant demon beast of the sword tiger beast also couldn't care about the boss at all, so he could only scatter and flee, scattering birds and beasts, and in an instant, in addition to the one who escaped, the only thing left to breathe was this sword tiger demon beast that was chased and killed here.
The four high-level demon beasts surrounded the sword tiger in the middle, and the light blue beast patterns on the sword tiger's whole body gradually lit up, the hair all over his body was weak, and a low roar came out of his mouth, as if he was resigned to his fate to make this last fight.
The monsters besieging it were also cautiously looking for flaws in its body, waiting for the opportunity to move, and in the end, it was the strongest red-horned cow that took the lead in attacking, and rushed forward with a roar, the red-horned cow cooperated with the flame breath, rampage, and other demon beasts assisted in the sneak attack.
In the face of such a desperate situation, the sword tiger roared all over his body, surrounded by blue lightning, only to see the sword tiger's claws slap the ground vigorously, and the blue lightning on the ground divided into several arcs of electricity, and the four beasts who couldn't dodge were stiff and unable to move.
The fencing tiger demon beast seemed to have exhausted its last strength, and a hint of despair flashed in its eyes, and it opened its huge mouth and pounced on the neck of the nearest red-horned bull. At this time, the red-horned ox happened to be in a state of stiffness, and it should not be able to avoid the last desperate blow of the sword tiger.
At this moment, it was too late to say that it was too fast, a ray of cyan light and shadow flashed in the grass next to him, and the sword tiger roared and was knocked away by the cyan light and shadow a hundred steps away, and there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and there was no longer the slightest sound.
At this time, Mu Sheng saw through the clairvoyant mirror what it was that killed the sword tiger with one blow, it was a cyan fur, small leopard cat-like demon beast, although the size was much smaller than the four beasts, but Mu Sheng vaguely felt that the strength of this cyan kitten was completely above these four high-level demon beasts.
Immediately, the four beasts bowed their heads and bowed to the kitten, verifying the conjecture in his heart, and the cyan kitten yelled at the four beasts several times, probably speaking.
After the lecture, the blue kitten turned and jumped onto the branch, and suddenly the cat turned its head and glanced at the place where the horse team was hiding, and there seemed to be a hint of confusion on its expression......
A cat, Mu Sheng can actually feel that it will have an expression? He was suddenly frightened and his hands and feet were cold, this is more than ten miles away, equivalent to five or six kilometers away? How was it discovered? The spiritual sense of this demon beast is also too powerful, and it is estimated that its cultivation should be close to the level of the beast master.
Just in case, Mu Sheng turned over and got on his horse without hesitation, beckoned, and said, "Withdraw immediately." ”
Mu Sheng raised his whip and ran at the speed of light, and the knight who followed behind was too far away, although he didn't understand what was happening in front of him, seeing that the leader was about to run, everyone also turned over like a frightened bird and followed Gongzi Sheng.
The crowd waited for the horsewhip to beat wildly along the way, and only stopped when they were near the base camp.
Mu Sheng's face was pale and sweating profusely, and he glanced behind him, nothing caught up, so he put his mind at ease, too, more than ten miles away, even if the demon beast is really a beast master, it is impossible to come to the morning and evening, anyway, there is no big mistake in being careful......
Somewhere in the forest
The red-horned bull demon beast just now seemed to be communicating something with the cyan kitten who was leisurely cleaning its hair on its back......
The red-horned cow asked cautiously, "Lord An, what did you just find?" ”
The cyan kitten cleaned up its hair in a good time, and after a while, the breath of his whole body changed, and he actually changed into a half-orc form, with silver hair and a pair of cute cat ears on his head, which was indeed a human teenager.
It looked puzzled, and after a while, it said, "I don't know, I just vaguely feel that something is spying on us more than ten miles away, I just glanced in that direction, and soon I didn't feel the feeling of being watched, it was too far away, even if I chased after it, it might have disappeared long ago, and this place is too close to the territory of the human race, my first priority is to complete the orders of Lord Lan, or not to cause unnecessary trouble to Lord Lan." ”
With that, the demon boy lay on the back of the old cow and whistled leisurely, and the man and the four beasts disappeared into the depths of the jungle......
After Mu Sheng's hunting ranger escaped from the hunting ground, he set up a temporary camp here, and after lunch, everyone had nothing to do and gathered together to test archery.
When the knights saw that Gongzi Sheng was also watching from the side, they stepped forward and coaxed, "Jun Shang's archery is accurate, can you take a look?" ”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he set out his bow and aimed at the willow tree by the small river in the distance, and he felt a change in wind speed, and immediately, there was a whoosh! An arrow shot a copper coin hanging from a tree branch to the ground.
A knight stepped forward to retrieve the arrow, only to see that the arrow happened to pass through the square hole of the coin and pierced deep into the ground, and the guards cheered when they saw this.
"The king's archery is unparalleled in the world."
Mu Sheng smiled and said unashamedly: "Where! Only familiar to the hand. ”
The safari horse team waited by the river for about an hour, and Mu Sheng felt that those demon beasts should have withdrawn, so he went back and came to the forest before. Mu Sheng took out the clairvoyant mirror and carefully observed the surrounding environment before he was sure that there was no danger around, and those rare high-level demon beasts should also go away.
Mu Sheng waved his hand and rode his horse with the knights to the battlefield where the group of demon beasts had fought before.
When everyone came to the battlefield, there were many ordinary beasts at the scene who were biting and gnawing the corpses of these monsters, and Mu Sheng ordered the guards to drive these beasts away.
He came to the place where the sword tiger beast fell, Mu Sheng took out his waist knife and stepped forward to carefully examine the giant demon beast, only to see that its fatal wound was on the left side of the chest, and it seemed that a huge force pierced the chest cavity and directly burst the heart.
Mu Sheng looked at it, and sighed in his heart, I was obedient, I didn't expect that inconspicuous-looking cyan kitten to have such strength? If it hadn't been for the quick decision yesterday, they would have been killed by the kittens.
They inspected these demon beasts for a long time, except for the low-level demon beasts, and the demon beasts with middle-level cultivation and above were all taken out of the demon pill, that is, the inner pill. The demon pills that absorb other demon beasts are also good things that can greatly enhance the cultivation of demon beasts, and they naturally cannot be left to Mu Sheng and these races.
In the end, they cleaned up for a long time, and they only harvested a dozen low-level demon pills, and some demon beast skins that looked quite complete.
In addition to the most valuable demon pill, the sword bones and animal skins on the body of the largest high-level sword tiger are all good things, and they are the best materials for making armor, weapons, and magic weapons, if they are folk demon hunters, this order alone is enough for them to eat for several years.
Mu Sheng's trip can be regarded as a fight with the gods, and he picked up some leaks behind his buttocks.
After everyone cleaned up the battlefield, they hurried back after some accident, and the loot dragged by the knights was indeed quite fruitful this time!
When they arrived at the base camp, the bustling Hu cavalry, and the Hu cavalry who followed the emperor's hunting were also full of people.
