Chapter 328: Capturing the Thunder God Bird
When Celia returned to Thor, she immediately called the commander of the army and told him to prepare it immediately according to the list of materials, and at the same time asked him to draw a bunch of soldiers and gather some wild men to serve as temporary laborers. The officer took the list and immediately began to prepare, the materials needed on the list were mainly wood, iron nails, chains, tools, etc., most of which were readily available, and the few that could not be found were immediately searched for by the teleportation shaft to Hydonnis.
It took a day, everything needed was prepared, and the required personnel were all assembled, Celia asked people to load the things into the cart, and then she and Narros led everyone to the place where the Thor Bird gathered. It took another two days to arrive because of the difficult road, and when they arrived at the designated place, the two bird catchers were impatient.
"Why did you come, we're going to die. The two of them kept whining.
Celia and Narros couldn't say anything because they asked for something, so they could only comfort the two of them one by one. The two seemed to have made the same mistake again, and began to comment openly.
"Well, after all, it's a poor country, and it's hard to do something. ”
"Yes, yes, after all, this is where the wild man stays, and it's really backward......"
"You see these people are clumsy, they really don't know what to say. ”
"Haha...... Who's to say it's not, otherwise why invite us brothers to come? ”
The two of them pointed at the people who were already very tired but still had to unload the car, looking gloating, and at this moment, a tall figure like a hill suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. It turned out that this was the wild man who had a conflict with the two that day, and for some reason he was also recruited as a laborer. The wild man was angry at the sight of the two of them, and rushed to them at once, glaring at them viciously.
"You two guys, come and help!" the wildling roared angrily.
Since the two bird catchers were almost beaten that day, they were very afraid of these wild people, and at this time, when they saw that the other party was going to beat people, they were so frightened that they opened their mouths and completely lost their previous giggling.
"Yes...... Be...... We...... The ......" The two of them didn't know what the savage was talking about, so they had to nod their heads and nod wildly with the savage, looking very respectful.
In the distance, Naros and Celia couldn't help but smile when they looked at each other, this is really one thing to one thing.
According to the requirements of the two bird catchers, they found a relatively open and flat place, and then planted a few large wooden stakes, sharpened some slightly finer wood, and then nailed these sharpened logs to the wooden stakes with large iron nails. Although everyone did not understand what they were going to do, everyone could see that this was a trap, and it seemed that this was the only way to catch the Thor.
The two of them also had a large cage made of wood to hold the Thunder God Bird they caught. By the time the trap and cage were ready, it took another two days.
The two men invited by Narros were masters of bird hunting, and although they didn't have the tools at hand, they were able to create a trap according to local conditions, and when the trap was finally completed, everyone finally understood how they planned to catch birds. According to the two of them, it was originally necessary to catch this huge bird with a special large net, but it was too late to make it, so the two came up with this trap temporarily.
Ponlos pointed to the trap and introduced it to everyone: "You see, this trap has been made, we use leather strips to taut these sharp woods, and then use stones to press these leather strips, and finally tie all the power to this rope, as long as the thunder god bird enters this trap, we only need to pull this rope, those stones that hold down the leather strips will immediately bounce away, and the power of the leather strips will rebound these sharp trees, and when the sharp trees are aimed inside, they can naturally trap the thunder god bird." ”
After listening to the introduction, everyone felt that this trap was indeed very ingenious, although it looked a little rough, but as long as it worked.
The two of them had some freshly cooked meat pieces placed in the center of the trap, and seven or eight piles of oil-drenched firewood were prepared around the trap. According to the observation of the two, the thunder god bird only leaves the nest to hunt in the early morning and dusk, this large bird has a very mixed diet, not only will catch smaller beasts, sometimes also catch fish to eat, and each predation is in a group way, so everyone must not expose themselves to the birds.
Everyone hid in a few stone crevices around the trap, carefully observing the situation of the trap, and suddenly heard a sound like thunder in the sky at dusk. The man named Hu Lian said, "Here, everyone hide." ”
As the muffled thunder got closer and closer, everyone looked up to the sky, only to see a group of black and oppressive birds flying like dark clouds, which suddenly obscured the light of the setting sun a lot, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.
A pile of roasted lamb was already prepared in the center of the trap, and the tantalizing aroma soon caught the attention of these large birds, and several large birds circled down, circling back and forth above the trap, as if they were discerning the fragrance of what was coming from. Finally, one of the Thor's birds, unable to resist the temptation to descend from the sky, first circled around the trap, and found that there was no danger, so it flapped its wings and jumped on one of the stakes.
The thunder bird stood on a stake and stretched its neck to take the roast, but no matter how hard it tried to stretch its neck, it was always a little short of the roast. The gluttonous aroma of the barbecue finally made the big bird forget the danger, and it jumped from the stake into the trap, stretched out its hook-like sharp beak, and took the barbecue in its mouth.
As soon as the time came, Ponlos tugged hard at the rope in his hand, and the rope was pulled so hard that he immediately broke free from the pre-set mechanism, and the mechanism immediately activated, bounce away the stone that was holding the leather strip. Without the restriction of the stone, the tight strip of leather suddenly tightened, and at the same time, the sharp wood immediately reversed, and turned the pointed head into the trap at once.
Dozens of sharp trees popped out at the same time, and immediately trapped the thunder god bird in a trap like a jungle of sharp wood. With a "pop", dozens of sharp logs appeared around the thunder god bird at the same time, which scared the big bird so much that it immediately let out a roar of "boom!" in its mouth.
When Hu Lian heard this cry, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and light the fire!" The soldiers who had already arranged for a long time hurriedly lit the fuses in front of them, and the small flames rushed down the oil-soaked cotton rope to the firewood stack.
The trapped Thor Bird kept crying for help to its companions, and the big birds hovering in mid-air immediately took action when they heard the call, swooping down towards the trap one by one, and standing on the stakes and pecking at the sharp trees with their long beaks like iron pincers. These woods are all found temporarily, and there are all kinds of materials, and the long beaks of those big birds are really powerful, and they will peck at the poor material sharp wood in three or two strokes.
Everyone was anxious when they saw this, and they hated to run to the firewood stack in person to light the firewood, but the two bird catchers had explained in advance that no one could be exposed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Seeing that there were more and more big birds coming to help, the big birds trapped in the trap also screamed more and more, not only screaming constantly, but also constantly scratching the stake with their beaks and claws, if the fire is not lit again, I am afraid that the trap will not last long.
Seeing that the operation was about to come to naught, a strong wind blew, and the burning thread suddenly lit up, and the burning speed of the spark suddenly doubled, and in a few breaths it was already under the firewood stack. The firewood stack had been poured with oil beforehand, and once it met the spark, it was ignited with a "bang", and the fire burst into flames.
The big birds that were attacking the trap were very afraid of the flames, and when they saw the fire ignited, they immediately let out a burst of screams, flapped their wings and flew up. Countless feathers rained down, and the fire burned with a scorching smell. The firewood stacks burned more and more, the flames were several meters high, and the high temperature baked the birds that circled back and forth in mid-air could not stand it, and they howled and flew into the air.
The big bird trapped in the trap was still making a lot of noise, and when he saw his companions abandon it and flee, he suddenly lost the courage to continue tossing, and his eyes looked straight at the sky, and his mouth let out a burst of wailing.
