After a short break, the team is back on the road.
Passing through this jungle in front of you, you can reach the territory of the Vajra rhino.
Traversing the jungle is a very hard work, a large number of poisonous insects, strange demon plants, and cunning beings hidden in the shadows are the natural defense line of the Land of Divine Grace. They are even more terrifying than the Monster itself.
From this point of analysis, Warcraft is actually just ordinary people living in the Land of Divine Grace, and the jungle itself is the castle and the strongest line of defense. Otherwise, it would be an almost impossible task for the large demonic beasts themselves to resist the invasion of humans. Despite their strength, they depend on this natural environment to survive and escape the clutches of most humans.
For most Warcraft hunters, though, it's a part of life. They may not have the strength of the pinnacle warriors, but they have a wealth of experience in surviving in the jungle. This experience is not something that can be replaced by force, not even magic. They use special potions to disperse demon insects, are familiar with various demon plants, and know how to avoid the most dangerous areas. Always be careful to check the places where deadly poisons may be hidden to avoid being ambushed.
In this environment, even Hueyglaire cannot guarantee that he will survive on his own. Unlike Purgatory Island, the jungle environment is larger, more complex, and more terrifying. He was a little glad that he had only cultivated on the edge of the Land of Divine Grace, and if he had entered the center, he might have been left with no bones.
Harry Gearns had carefully observed the traces on the ground, and said with certainty: "There's a large Nanthorn phanthill over there, be careful, don't alarm them, let's go around." ”
"Nantense Phantom Ant?" Huey had never heard of such a thing, and Purgatory Island didn't have everything.
"Yes, this phantom ant is very ferocious, capable of flying, and has a pair of very sharp palates. When their lower palate bites into your body, it injects a terrible toxin, like a rainbow fish in a lake, that can hallucinate you. However, this halluciation is more immediate and deadly. Carmella replied, "As long as you are bitten by a sufficient number of phantom ants, you will die an ugly death." Most of them died in terror. It first appeared in the southern 6th of the Great 6 in the South of the country, so it was called the South Dunge Phantom Ant, and then for some unknown reason, they drifted all the way across the ocean to us. They're one of the most terrifying killers in the Gracelands, and they're famous, but it's also because they're so famous that we know enough about it. Rest assured, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will not easily provoke humans. It's funny, you know the Earth Storm Bear, you know the preferences of the silver barracuda, but you don't know about this phantom ant?"
"Knowledge is always highly complementary. Huey replied.
After rounding the Phantom Anthill, and having walked a short distance, Harry Gearns clenched his fist again and raised it towards the sky.
This action coincides with the signature move of the field troops of Xiuyi's former era.
Everyone stopped again.
"There's a man-eating vine blocking the way ahead, and it looks like it's going to break the bank. ”
"What kind of man-eating vine?" asked Huey. There are many varieties of man-eating vines.
"Ink snake vine, the most troublesome kind. ”
Xiu Yi looked into the distance, only to see a large black rattan burrowing out of the ground, and he shook his head, "I haven't seen anything like this. ”
Carmela explained to Huey again: "Those superficial rattans are not terrible, they are terrible underground. The rattan on the ground is actually its tentacles, which can absorb the abnormal smell in the air, and if it is their favorite food, they will send the rattan to the ground...... They are one of the few magic plants that can move, they will move to your feet, and then suddenly reach out and wrap a large number of rattans around your legs, making you unable to move. Finally, the main stem with sharp barbs pierces your skin and sucks your blood. This means that you will see them devour themselves before you die completely. ”
"Hey, Carmela, don't be so scary. Leyson was somewhat satisfied. He turned back to Xiu Yi and said, "Don't worry, the Ink Snake Vine is not invincible, they also have their own things to fear and hate. ”
"What are they afraid of?" asked Huey.
Harry Guns replied, "Afraid of fire, hate the breath of the undead." A considerable number of plants hate necromantic breath, and we know that natural spells represent the power of life, and necromancy is able to absorb this power and turn it into rotten breath. So if you don't want to burn the entire jungle with a single fire, then the best way to deal with the Ink Snake Vine is to borrow the power of the undead. ”
Xiui was about to ask you if you were a necromancer, where did the undead breath come from, but saw that Carmela had already pulled out a white bone finger.
It was clearly the work of an alchemist, and there was a lot of undead aura attached to it. Carmela dropped a few drops on the white bone finger and threw it at the Ink Snake Vine.
As if they had encountered something fearful, a large number of ink snake vines burrowed into the ground, and even hissed in a low voice, giving people a feeling of anger.
"Hurry up, that thing will last a limited time, and they'll soon be back to the surface to destroy the undead aura that makes them nasty. Harry Gearns shouted, and the group sprinted through the passage of the Ink Serpent Vine.
As Xiu Yi rushed across the road, he glanced back, only to see that a small number of ink snake vines had indeed begun to burrow back to the surface. He tried to release the limited undead magic in his body, which was much more powerful than the alchemy item, and the ink snake vine that had just emerged from the surface retracted back into the ground.
Their anger intensified.
Smiling with satisfaction, Xiu Yi turned his head and followed Harry Guns and the others.
——————————————
No matter how difficult the road is, the end will always be reached.
It took four days for the Warcraft team to finally get out of the jungle, one day ahead of Harry Gearns' estimate.
They now stood in the deepest part of the Lilgula Mountains, on the side of a mountain, and from here they could see alpine cliffs everywhere, mountain after mountain, forest after forest, full of green and verdant.
Beneath the mountainside is a large canyon with a large green area in the middle of the canyon and a small river running through the canyon like a silver belt. It's the heart of the most famous Charismatic Land. There are a large number of demonic beasts inhabiting this core area, and there are many high-level demonic beasts among them.
Some long-horned spotted deer are drinking by the river, and not far away a saucer leopard is quietly approaching. Although the long-horned deer are very alert, they ignore the impending danger. The spotted leopard is unusually tall and can even glide through the air for tens of meters.
A small long-horned spotted deer soon fell victim to the sharp claws of the butterfly leopard, and the other long-horned spotted deer fled, their horns releasing a strong gust of wind that enveloped their bodies, making them lighter and faster. A female spotted deer may be the mother of a baby spotted deer, and she can't help but look back a few times and let out a sad wail when she runs.
The spotted leopard began dragging the carcass of the baby spotted deer into a relatively safe spot to prepare for a good meal.
However, it was unlucky enough to encounter two four-winged Tyrants, and was forced to give up their food and flee.
The two four-winged tusks circled in the air and landed beside the little spotted deer, ready to enjoy the unearned treat. Their luck doesn't look good, though, either.
A large group of dragon wolves appeared. These dragon wolves are only level nine, but they are fierce by nature and always come out in groups. Hundreds of dragon wolves rushed towards the little spotted deer, and it seemed that they didn't mind fighting the two big guys for this food. Warcraft don't have the specific hierarchical concept of humans, let alone the dignity of so-called higher beings - they have their own criteria for judging their strength. The two four-winged fangs made the decision to back down after seeing each other's numbers clearly.
So the food changed hands again.
The dragonwolves began to feast on the carcasses of the spotted deer, and the heavenly scavengers ate with them. They entangle with each other, fight with each other, and grab food. Interestingly, they rarely actually use the power of magic to fight, spending most of their time fighting over food and testing each other.
Before the food was eaten, there was a sudden rumbling of the earth, like an earthquake.
All life began to be restless, and the dragons and wolves began to retreat, desperately fleeing, and a large amount of billowing smoke and dust appeared in the distance.
A group of behemoths with sharp horns on their heads appeared in the smoke and dust, as if rolling iron streams swept across the canyon.
Several dragon wolves couldn't dodge, and they collapsed to the ground after being hit by the bodies of these big guys. Countless iron hooves trampled these hapless fellows into pulp.
That's Vajra rhino.
Looking at the scene of the jungle playing in the canyon from afar, everyone was stunned.
The hunter named Jerle licked his tongue, "Oh my God, this place is so exciting. ”
Craig pointed to the group of Vajra rhinos below, "We've worked so hard all the way to get this group of things, and they don't seem to be that easy to deal with." ”
"No one said they were easy to deal with, even in the Land of Divine Grace, except for those peak demonic beasts, there were not many demonic beasts that could be more powerful than the Vajra rhino group. Harry Guns replied.
"And what are you going to do next?" Huey asked. He wondered why Harry Gearns was so confident that he could capture a Vajra rhino alive.
"Although the Vajra rhino is a social demonic beast, they may not get along with each other peacefully. Do you know why I'm catching the vajra rhino at this time? May is their love season. The right to mate is a very special power in most Warcraft communities, and only the most powerful males are qualified to possess many females. The Vajra rhino community will have a king, it can freely choose mates, and usually it will always possess the general females in the community, so as to ensure the strength of the offspring. The other males can only choose from the remaining females. Due to the lack of females, there will be a fight between males and males, and those who win will get the right to mate, and those who lose will give up. Vajra rhinos are short-tempered creatures that are instinctually dictated to have a strong desire for copulousness. If the continuous battle fails and the right to mate is not obtained, some Vajra rhinos will choose to leave the colony and find a new one. ”
"So they're left alone for the time being?"
"Yes. Harry Gearns laughed and said, "Look, all we have to do is wait, wait for some unlucky Vajra rhino to leave the colony of its own, and then set up the trap." ”
"Are you sure this will happen?"
"Yes, almost every year, one or two adult Vajra rhinos leave the colony on their own accord because they lose their mating rights, but the following year the female gives birth to more. When the Vajra rhino colony grows to a certain extent, they automatically split into two colonies. Strictly control the number and maintain a colony of three to fifty vajra rhinos is their survival rule. ”
"How to deal with the order after you are ordered?"
"Set traps. The Vajra rhino has a lot of strength and thick skin, but it has a relatively simple brain. We can dig a big hole and bring that guy over. When the time comes, it will fall and then it will be trapped. They are too big and too heavy to jump out of a big pit. And then we can deal with it however we want. In fact, as long as you starve it for a few days, it will not work. The only problem is that we can't be sure how many Vajra rhinos will be the last losers, and if you ask me, I hope it's two. ”
"It's that simple?" Huey was in disbelief, he had expected to hear a more nuanced and perfect course of action. But in fact, there are not many people in the world who can do every action as perfectly and artistically as possible.
It's more about directly targeting the weaknesses of the other side and laying out a simple and effective plan of action.
Harry Gearns spread his hands: "How complex is it to deal with a monster, the simpler it is, the more practical it is." ”
"So how do you bring it back? A vajra rhino weighs about three tons. ”
"That's the most troublesome part and why we need Udick. We need to bring the live Vajra rhino out of this jungle, and the nature mage can do that......" Speaking of this, Harry Gunns's voice was a little low, and it seemed that he was also skeptical that Udick would be up to such an important and difficult job.
But the next moment, Harry Gearns said, "But believe me, man, there's no hurdle in the world that can't be overcome." As long as you catch these big guys, no trouble will be a problem. Trust the experts, Andrew!"
Harry said this with an unusually confident expression.
Seeing Harry Gearns' confident expression, Huey suddenly remembered that this guy had also used this attitude to tell himself that there was no danger in the lake when he crossed the lake.
During lunch, Huey took an opportunity to ask Carmela, "Carmela, how long have you been working with Harry?"
"About a year or more. ”
"What do you think of him?"
"Not bad. Why is this question asked?"
"Nothing. Xiu Yi smiled bitterly: "I just think Harry seems to be too confident in capturing King Kong." ”
Carmela replied, "Harry has lived in the jungle all year round, and he knows the habits of most monsters, so it's normal to be confident. For this hunting plan, everyone has been prepared, and we will definitely succeed. ”
"And what if there is an accident? such as a monster suddenly not acting in the way we planned?"
"That's going to be a big problem. Generally speaking, though, this is rare. After all, Warcraft is an instinctive creature, and even if a high-level Warcraft has intelligence, it still can't be compared to humans. ”
"Have you hunted high-level magical beasts before? I mean level 10 or above. ”
"Very little...... Actually, this is the first time. ”
"I see...... "Huey began to understand where the uneasy feeling in his heart came from.
Harry and his team were indeed a group of experienced Monster hunters, but they clearly put too much trust in their own experience. Harry himself is obsessed with the nature of the Beast and does not believe in accidents. He believes that accidents are out of their hands, but they don't happen easily. To be exact, he only lives in his own world.
But Xiu Yi knew very well that the wisdom possessed by high-level demonic beasts was not as low-level as they thought. In fact, there are many manifestations of wisdom, and when there is no danger to their lives, these monsters may not show too much intelligence. But when life is at stake, the wisdom displayed by high-level demonic beasts can sometimes surprise even humans.
For human beings, strength is their potential, and it only explodes in times of crisis.
For Warcraft, wisdom is their potential, and it only explodes in times of crisis.
This is the biggest difference between humans and Warcraft, and it is also Xiuyi's biggest experience for living on Purgatory Island and getting along with Warcraft day and night.
This is something that the average Warcraft hunter cannot understand.
Most of the time their traps will work, and the wits of the monsters may not work, as there is no absolute gap between their strength and that of the hunters.
But when the hunters begin to deal with monsters that are far more powerful than themselves, success or failure is actually pinned on the incompetence of the other party.
At this time, high-level demonic beasts only need to be a little smarter, and they will cause great trouble to humans.
Details determine success or failure, and in this battle to capture the Vajra rhino, Xiu Yi has already seen the troubles that may lie ahead.
"Let's hope there won't be any surprises. Xiu Yi really couldn't be sure what the consequences would be if something happened to a community of more than 30 Vajra rhinos.
