Chapter 208 Trap
Originally wanted to find Nedith, but Duck told Rodinydith that he was not in the tavern. Roddy also felt embarrassed to meet the woman Nedith, so he gave up.
The three went back and took Miao Ge to the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion. Although Duck was a bit strange, he also knew the relationship between Miao Ge and Duke Tulip. It's just that Miao Ge's look at this young man named Roddy from time to time makes him feel a little strange.
In the courtyard of the Duke’s Mansion, the first meeting between Miss Nicole and Miao Ge was not as awkward as Roddy had imagined-Nicole looked calmer, and Miao Ge was also very calm.
Nicole had long expected that Miao Ge must be an excellent woman, and when she really saw Miao Ge standing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.
Nicole only felt that the appearance of the woman in front of her was naturally extremely beautiful, and her long satin-like hair was gently attached to one side of her face, making her look gentle and moving. Especially fascinating is the temperament of Miao Ge-above that beautiful face, there is a faint tranquility, it is a kind of indifference that seems to be indifferent to the surrounding things, it is a kind of from the heart The humiliation is not surprising. The first thought in her mind was: How could her brother abandon such an excellent person so easily?
But naturally she wouldn't say such things, but she couldn't help but sighed and took Miao Ge's hand, smiled and said, "You and me go in."
Miao Ge glanced at Roddy, saw Roddy nod slightly, then smiled slightly and followed Nicole.
Obviously, Roddy let out a long sigh after seeing the two women leave. Danyuewu's expression was a bit complicated, she didn't speak from start to finish, just bit her lip and gently stepped on her toes.
In the rest of the time, the remaining three people prepared some tools. Under the guidance of two jungle experts, Dak and Danyuewu, the three of them found what they needed and rode out of the city.
The large and small roads leading to the hunting ground had already been blocked by the army, and Roddy took the two of them and naturally went all the way unimpeded. Guarding the outskirts of the hunting grounds is a small barracks, where three hundred royal guards are stationed. Roddy ordered them to stand by outside, and he and Dak Tanyuewu rode into the hunting ground...
The hunting ground is quiet at night. After all, it is a family hunting ground that has been operated for a century. There are artificially mined paths in the forest. Although simple, it is barely enough for horses to run. But after the three entered the forest, they slowed down the horseshoe.
The horse's hoof trampled on the grass and the ground, making a rustling sound. Roddy rode on horseback and walked in the forefront. Duck and Danyuewu went side by side, forming a triangular prism. All three are armed with weapons and are on alert at any time.
From time to time there are hares and other animals in the grass that come out to forage at night and are frightened and rush out from the roadside. Duck and Danyuewu looked around carefully. As they got closer to the lake in the middle of the forest, the expressions of Dak and Danyuewu gradually became serious.
All the way calmly, to the central lake, the remains of yesterday are still there, the temporary camp that has been destroyed, there is a piece of collapsed tree that was smashed next to it, and the huge body of the monster who was killed by Roddy. .
Duck behind him suddenly whispered: "Wait!"
Roddy immediately reined in and glanced back. Duck rode on the horse, but closed his eyes, as if feeling something, and then sniffed twice.
His expression became more solemn, he turned over and jumped off the horse, holding a prepared baggage in one hand, and slowly walking into the corpse of the huge monster.
Roddy and Dan Yuewu also got off their horses, tied the reins of the horses to the tree beside them, and followed Duck.
I saw that Duck suddenly jumped up to a tree, squatted on the trunk, touched the branch, and sniffed under his nose. Jumped down from the tree, walked into the monster's body and looked around, carefully searching the surrounding ground.
In the cold wind at night, Duck looked solemn, as if he had discovered something wrong. Dan Yuewu's eyes swept around, her brows frowned.
Roddy said solemnly: "Did you find anything?"
Duck took a deep breath and turned around and said, "It's a bit strange..." He glanced at Dan Yuewu and said, "Did you find it?"
Dan Yuewu nodded, and slowly said, "The trees here are a bit strange... Have you noticed that all the trees near the lake are very tall and strong, and grow very well! This is very strange... according to Generally speaking, in the jungle, near the water source, there are usually more animals! The vegetation here should be trampled by animals, but do you see... I just looked around, there are very few Animal tracks!"
Roddy thought for a while and said, "It seems to be true. We came in to hunt yesterday, but we only caught some prey on the outskirts of the forest. The more we go inside, we rarely see any prey, and the last few were caught. The wild boar was encountered on the periphery, and we were finally driven to the neighborhood before being killed. It seems that there are really few animals around the lake here."
Duck nodded and said, "This is a bit strange... Generally speaking, animals are found near the water source, unless... Animals like to divide the territory, especially the big beasts. Unless there are beasts moving by the lake, you will set this place as your own territory, and no other animals are allowed to approach..."
Roddy shook his head: "Impossible... Although this is a forest, it is a hunting ground for the family after all. At most there are some slightly larger things, such as wild boars. No more powerful beasts. This is a place for the nobles to hunt. I'm afraid it will hurt people to get those beasts."
Dan Yuewu suddenly said: "Listen!"
"Huh?" Roddy was stunned: "Is there a sound?"
Dan Yuewu glanced at Dak and whispered: "There is no sound! This is weird!!"
Duck whispered: "Yes! There is no sound of birds in such a large forest..." He shook his head: "I have seen a few trees just now. There is no bird's nest, and there is no footprint... "
When the two said that, Roddy was also a little aware-thinking that when he entered the southern mountains, there were birds calling even at night in the mountains and forests. He recalled that when he came to hunt in the daytime yesterday, except for the sounds of birds outside the forest, after approaching the lake, there was really no noise except for the movement made by people around—and no sound was heard either. Birds have been called.
"Rody... Did any of you jump on the tree to check it out yesterday?" Duck suddenly asked.
"no, what happened?"
Dark's face was gloomy: "The branches have footprints! Those are traces of people stepping on them!"
Roddy changed color slightly, frowned and said, "Is anyone stepped on it?"
Dark sighed, and whispered: "I've seen it just now, and the trace is a bit strange... Although it's a bit uncertain, I suspect... it may be those vampires!"
When he said this, Tan Yuewu couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously leaned against Roddy. Roddy said solemnly: "Vampire? Are you sure?"
Duck shook his head: "Not sure... the smell is vague. I guess even if it is a vampire, it is the lowest level of blood. It's just that only the vampire bats will fly around and fall on the branches."
Roddy frowned-the kinship was actually involved.
Duck slowly walked to the two of them and said in a low voice: "There are no birds here, so there must be some special reason, I'm afraid there is probably something strange here."
He thought for a while, and said, "Did you really find nothing during the day?"
Roddy shook his head: "No."
Dan Yuewu thought for a while, and then said, "Could there be anything that only appears at night? And after all, this hunting ground has been abandoned for a long time. People from the Tulip family never come in. There were so many people in the daytime yesterday, even if there were. I dare not approach anything."
"You can try!" Duck suddenly opened his mouth and smiled.
Duck walked over, unfastened the reins of the horses that the three of them had ridden, and then slammed two whips on the buttocks of the two horses. The two horses ate pain and ran away. Running out of the woods, Duck looked calm, took his horse, unloaded the saddle and other things, and drove the horse to the woods by the lake.
He patted the horse's neck lightly, and Duck sighed in a low voice, "Although it's cruel, I have to be sorry."
Suddenly he drew out his knife, and cut the two front hooves of the horse with two deep bone wounds! The horse immediately let out a sigh of grief, struggling violently, and crashed to the ground.
Dark sighed, turned and walked back. Pulling Roddy and Danyuewu back to the tree.
The three of them looked at the moonlight, the injured horse knelt on the ground, struggling, pedaling both hind legs from time to time, as if trying to stand up, with a sorrowful hiss in their mouths, and the blood from the wound was already on the ground. .
Tan Yuewu seemed to be unbearable on her face, she couldn't help but gently pulled Roddy's corners. But Roddy looked calm-people on the battlefield didn't know how many killed! Just feeling the emotion of Tan Yuewu, Roddy smiled at her and patted her on the shoulder lightly.
Dark took out a black bottle, poured out some strange potion from it, and carefully sprayed some on his pants. Danyuewu looked at Roddy's somewhat surprised expression, and smiled: "That's for hunting... the nose of a beast is much stronger than a human. He is to conceal the smell on his body so as not to be noticed by the prey! "Speaking of this, Danyuewu also took out a bottle from her arms and said with a smile: "This is for our Silvermoon hunters. Give it to you."
Roddy did the same, spraying the liquid in the bottle gently on his body—the liquid seemed to have a faint smell of grass.
"Does it work for us to wait like this?" Roddy couldn't help frowning.
Darker shook his head: "I don't know... I hope this smell can attract things." After thinking about it, Darker whispered: "It's not good for us to stand here, let's wait on the tree."
The three of them found a big tree and jumped up, but Dan Yuewu stood with Roddy intentionally or unintentionally. Just so calmly guarded on the trunk.
Dark had already taken down the longbow behind him, and he was twirling a sharp arrow in his hand, his eyes piercing, looking around.
Time gradually passed, and the injured horse was still struggling on the ground, because the wound on the front leg was too heavy to stand up, and the hissing sound gradually stopped, but it was not a breath of helplessness from the nostrils. It seems that he has gradually lost his strength.
Roddy was a little anxious, but seeing Dak's face calm as usual, even the light moon dance next to him was calm. He couldn't help but smile, thinking that they were more capable of doing this kind of thing than himself.
By the middle of the night, the horse had gradually ceased to move, apparently it was losing too much blood and was dying. Roddy stopped talking as soon as Darker signaled. Just wait quietly.
Finally, I suddenly saw Dak wave his hand gently... There was a movement! Looking in the direction of Duck's fingers, in the woods by the lake in the distance, there was a faint rustling sound... The sound was very low, almost covered by the wind. But Roddy's sharp eyesight still saw a black shadow in the bushes, as if quietly waiting for something, there were three faint green things flashing like wildfire...
Duck made a silent gesture, and Roddy nodded, but his fists could not help but gradually clenched. Danyuewu cat leaned against Roddy's waist, leaning against Roddy's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed a little nervous.
I saw a rustling voice finally came from the bushes, and the bushes parted on both sides, and a dark shadow slowly moved out...
Although it was far away and it was night again, Roddy still saw clearly that it was something like a wolf!
The reason for saying "similar" is because the shape of that thing is a bit like a wolf, but there are many differences: its size seems to be a circle larger than the strongest wolf that Roddy has ever seen, and its black fur is black and shiny. , Ears are standing upright... wait, its eyes!
Roddy finally understood what the few green ghost fire-like things that he saw just now—that's its eyes.
It actually has three eyes! In addition to the normal eyes, there was an extra eye in the center of its forehead! In the night, the three eyes glowed with scary green light.
It cautiously walked out of the bushes, walking very slowly, and leaning low. What is even more surprising is... Behind it, there are two big tails like broomsticks!
Every time you take a step, the two tails at the back gently swipe to eliminate the footprints left on the ground!
What a cunning guy!
