Chapter 99 98. Hunter
After more than half a month of construction, the military barracks at the foot of Moyunling Mountain finally look a little bit better.
In the past few days, the three heavy armored infantry regiments have taken turns to open up the mountain road leading to Moyun Ridge. If the knights, bed crossbows, catapults and baggage carts want to go up the mountain, they must open a mountain road under the eyes of the evil spirits. Come on, although the evil spirits did not make any big moves, there will always be a small group of evil spirits to harass and attack the infantry regiment.
The army dispatched a heavy cavalry squadron to guard the mountain road. These days, they had several small-scale encounters with the evil spirits, and the two sides won each other.
During the days when the forest road leading to the Moyunling pass was opened, the catapults transported from Handanar County also arrived at the forward positions of the expeditionary army one after another.
Both sides are preparing for a big battle, and in such a tense atmosphere, the life of the second squadron of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment is still going on.
After completing a series of tasks, I finally ushered in a rare vacation.
Although the holiday was only one day, it also made the soldiers in the squad so excited that they couldn't sleep.
…
He Boqiang was lying in the wild grass, and several gadflies were flying around in front of his face, always wanting to land on his face and have a feast.
He resisted the urge to slap the gadflies to death, and carefully observed the magic antelopes by the stream. They seemed to be very alert. Even if they drank water by the stream, there was always one magic antelope that remained alert. .
Augustus, who was lying aside, licked his dry lips, squinted his eyes, and stared at the magic antelope dozens of meters away, eyes full of longing.
It's a pity that the traps set along the way failed to capture a magic antelope.
After they drank the water, they would immediately get into the dense forest covered with weeds, and each magic antelope ran like a whirlwind.
The magic antelope belongs to the wind attribute first-level magical beast, and its body is made of magic materials. The magic antelope skin is an excellent material for making magic parchment. The spiral horns can be made into javelins. There is still a magic core in the skull, and the taste of antelope meat is also Very delicious.
The magic antelope is not only alert, but also as timid as a mouse. As long as there is any movement, it will run far away, and the running speed is unmatched.
Usually hunters use traps to catch the magic antelopes, but the traps set by the bearded Kagel are all bypassed by the magic antelopes. Perhaps for them, these traps are too simple for them to be seen through by the magic antelopes at a glance.
Augustus and Big Beard explored their watering place. Judging from the timid character of the magic antelope, this hunting is probably the last chance. If they fail, they will most likely move out of this area.
This is a small group of demon antelopes. There are only eleven adult demon antelopes and three lambs. They often appear in the southern foothills of Moyunling. They probably had some natural enemies, but since a group of evil spirits came to Moyunling, , those natural enemies living on Moyunling moved away one after another, and the life of this magic antelope group became more and more nourishing.
Since the crystal lion entrenched in this area left, the group of magic antelopes have brazenly run to the stream to drink water.
The bearded Cagle was holding an alloy bow in his hand, the bow string had been pulled away by him, and a stainless steel arrow was hooked between his fingers. At this moment, the male devil antelope just lowered its head, stretched its petal-like lips into the stream to drink, and gracefully stood by the stream...
"whoosh..."
The fine steel arrow scraped the turf, and flew parallel to the wild grass for a certain distance, and then rushed out like a wild rabbit rushing out of the grass, carrying some broken grass leaves, only a short moment. Before people had time to take a breath, the steel arrow had already stabbed firmly in the neck of the magic antelope.
The group of magic antelopes exploded, and all the magic antelopes scattered, only the leader of the magic antelopes kept looking around while running away.
The male devil antelope that had been shot in the neck by an arrow was also caught between the sheep, but it ran, staggered, its front hooves gave way and fell to the rocky beach.
At this time, the leader of the team leader, the magic antelope, finally found the bearded man and Augustus hiding in the grass, and Augustus also shot an arrow.
Augustus was too conceited, if the arrow didn't shoot the magic antelope in the head, no matter what, the magic antelope would not be able to escape, but Augustus wanted to kill him with one blow, but he didn't expect At the critical moment, the magic antelope sensed it, and turned its head to look to the other side, avoiding the inevitable arrow by accident.
Augustus was so angry that he spat fiercely, and stood up abruptly from the grass, exposing his upper body.
Draw the bow, nock the arrow, all in one go...
Another arrow shot, this fine steel arrow hit the back of a demon antelope in the demon antelope group, although most of the feathered arrows were nailed to it, it did not affect the escape of the demon antelope, twisted its fart The stock went straight into the dense forest among the weeds.
"Grass…"
Augustus cursed in his mouth, and was about to hit an arrow, looking for a chance, when he heard the bearded Cagle shout heart-piercingly: "Hurry up and hide!"
The voice of the bearded Cagle and the galloping light and shadow were captured by Augustus almost at the same time.
Only then did Augustus realize that the leader of the magic antelope actually charged at him. In front of the lowered head were two sharp horns of the magic antelope. It is said that the horns of the magic antelope could easily pierce the heavy armor of heavy cavalry. The armor on the infantry was as fragile as paper in front of the antelope horns.
He never thought that the leader of the magic antelope did not escape with the group, but attacked himself.
Augustus subconsciously planned to pick up the shield, but at this moment he realized that he only had an alloy bow in his hand, and the square shield was still behind his back, and it was too late to take it off.
Just before the leader of the magic antelope hit Augustus, a dwarf chain shield stretched out from behind Augustus, and a figure stood beside Augustus at the same time, adopting a standard defensive posture .
The long spiral horns of the magic antelope stabbed fiercely at the dwarven chain shield.
I saw a phantom of the four-armed double-faced demon **** suddenly appearing behind He Boqiang, and disappeared in the next second, and then He Boqiang steadily used his shield to withstand the impact of the leader of the demon antelope.
He Boqiang felt like a train had hit him, his chest seemed to be shaken, and his chest was overwhelmed.
Under the surge of Qi and blood, a hot current rushed towards the throat.
At this time, the phantom of the demon **** suddenly appeared in the sea of spiritual consciousness, and a warm current gushing from his shoulders gave him a burst of strength in an instant.
He Boqiang subconsciously held up the right arm of the shield and twisted it with all his strength, and the two horns pierced the dwarf chain shield, but the leader of the magic antelope was knocked to the ground by He Boqiang under a huge force, and his body was hit hard On the barren grass.
Four hooves upturned.
The leader of the magic antelope let out a desperate neigh, and was firmly pressed to the ground by He Boqiang.
This is a habit developed in fighting evil spirits. The first time to restrain the enemy is to draw the sword and behead.
The Roman sword cut the throat of the leader of the magic antelope, and blood spattered. He Boqiang cut off the head of the leader of the magic antelope without saying a word. .
…
Augustus and the bearded Kagel found Suldak, and wanted to use their rest day to try their luck in the mountains and forests, hoping to hunt first-level monsters in the mountains. Suldak thought about it, and then Let little Duck also join their hunting team.
When Suldak said these words, Augustus didn't care, thinking that the captain of Suldak let Xiaodak get a share. Since it was what Suldak asked, Augustus He readily agreed without any hesitation.
Looking at the **** antelope head hanging on Little Dak's shield, Augustus finally understood Captain Suldak's good intentions.
Grateful glance at He Boqiang...
