Chapter 929 Graffiti in the Grand Canyon
Gordon and his party walked along the rolling mountains for two full days before finally reaching the place marked on the map. The mountain walls were not so high and the angle was not so steep.
The cart that had been dragged all the way was obviously impossible to carry over the mountains and ridges, so Gordon and the others had no choice but to find a hidden rock recess and temporarily park the cart in it.
When you capture the Acid Pterosaur, you will need to use it on your return trip.
The easiest thing to climb up a mountain is Anhil, because he doesn’t have to climb it by himself at all.
The toothhound, which has sharp claws and strong limbs, can climb mountains much more efficiently than humans.
Seeing Ancil lying on Gale's back and being swept upwards by the latter, Gordon and Ted's eyes were full of envy.
They originally wanted to wait at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the strong wind to carry Anhir to the ridge, and then come down to carry them, so that they could all be sent up in three round trips.
Oh, no, there are also some supplies such as food and water. Four or five times is enough.
��Ge Feng shook his head crazily. He felt that as a tooth hound, he shouldn't bear so much.
Bargaining, under coercion and inducement, each side takes a step back.
Gale was responsible for carrying Ancil, the pork chops, supplies, the weapons on Gordon Tedder and some heavy armor parts.
As for Gordon and Ted, they lightened their loads and climbed with bare hands.
Even so, the strong wind climbed up and down four times, making it so tired that it stuck out its tongue, but it still felt that it had earned something.
After all, the two heaviest things don’t need to be carried on your back.
Anhil, who was waiting on the ridge, sighed and decided to buy more fish for this stupid dog to replenish his brain after returning to the base.
Compared with climbing up the ridge, how to get down to the Grand Canyon is the real problem.
They naturally brought ropes, but the total length of the ropes was not enough for the rappel. What’s more, they had to consider how to get back after entering the canyon.
The lazy way of climbing with light equipment like throwing the equipment to the strong wind just now can no longer be used.
There are more acid pterosaurs living in the Grand Canyon than they expected. It is difficult to guarantee that these vicious pterosaurs will not attack during the climb, so climbing with light equipment is too dangerous.
Three people and one cat began to discuss countermeasures, but the dog was too stupid to participate.
“Didn’t we bring invisibility clothes? Wear the invisibility clothes and climb down?” Ted suggested.
This is actually the most common method used by the research class leader and the wilderness master who has never met before when crossing the Grand Canyon.
"No." Anhil vetoed decisively, "Don't forget our purpose. If we just want to go down to the canyon or climb over the canyon, of course we can do this.
But we are here to capture the Acid Pterodactyl and take it away. How are you going to climb out with the Acid Pterodactyl? "
Ted choked.
Gordon also agreed with Ancil, "Actually, on the premise of capturing the multi-headed acid pterosaur, the option of going down to the canyon was eliminated from the beginning.
We can only move on the ridge. We can still think of ways to get the captured acid pterosaurs down the mountain.
The question now is, how to attract the Acid Pterosaur to the ridge. "
Ted scratched his unshaven chin, "In our team, Babaka usually does the job of baiting."
“Have you decided to use the bait tactic?” Zhupa stared at Ted with empty eyes.
You know who this bait is without asking.
“Don’t mention it, although the decoy tactic is old-fashioned, it is also the most effective.” Anhir thought, “We can find a relatively wide and flat place on the ridge as a battlefield.
If the pork chop attracts one, we will catch one. If we attract several at once, we will use flash bombs to dodge them and then cook them. "
"Pork Chop is small and somewhat dangerous. If it is accidentally picked up by the Sour Pterodactyl, it will be troublesome." Gordon said for Pork Chop.
Before Pig Chop could express his gratitude, Gordon continued: "So let's use Pig Chop and Gale Feng as bait together. Fix Pig Chop on Gale Feng's back, so that we can not only move up and down the mountain wall quickly, but also be less likely to be caught. ” ˆ ˆ “Wooow?!”
“Thank you, meow.”
Promising to treat them to a feast after returning to the star stronghold, the bait candidates were happily decided.
With the cover of the rocks, we rested on the spot for the night.
In the early morning of the second day, the group walked along the ridge for a while and found a fairly flat and open area.
Heavily armed, with swords sharpened and crossbows loaded, the three Gordons put on their invisibility clothes and ambush.
Pork Chop and Gale Wind, who are also armored and strong, are also ready.
After checking the straps that securely fastened him to the saddle several times, Pig Chop turned back and made a rude gesture to the three people who were looking at him expectantly.
Then he rode the strong wind and silently jumped down the ridge.
The sky is very dark and the sun has not yet risen. The acid pterosaurs that live in the Grand Canyon have not yet woken up and are clinging to the rock wall to rest.
Pork Chop was not in a hurry to disturb them, but planned to go down to the canyon first.
Although the predatory acid pterosaurs are generally much larger and stronger than the walking pterosaurs that inhabit the ancient tree forests, the differences between different individuals of the same race are also obvious.
Considering subsequent feeding and use, thin, aging, injured individuals will definitely not be considered.
The kind of young, strong, and huge individuals are their priority targets.
Going down a mountain is always harder than going up, especially on such a steep, almost vertical mountain wall. The strong wind took a lot of effort before I could get down to the bottom of the valley with the pork chop.
A cat and a dog found a cave in the rock to hide temporarily.
Pork Chop was about to take out his telescope and take a good look at the acid pterosaurs hanging on the rock wall, when Gale suddenly turned around and nudged it with his nose.
“What’s the matter?” Zhupa asked in a low voice.
Gale Wind shook his big head and raised his head to indicate the location deep in the cave.
Pork Chop looked along the direction of the strong wind and found that there was actually a dark red pattern painted on the rock wall in the cave.
This pattern is definitely not naturally formed. It looks like it was painted with a finger dipped in plant or mineral dye. It looks like an abstract painting, but also like some kind of text or totem, which is completely impossible to decipher.
“A meow left behind by orcs like the Strange Face Clan?” Piglet muttered.
At any rate, it cannot be left behind by Ellu or Meralu. There seems to be no wild Elu group in the New World. The Elu and Melalu kin in the stronghold are all from the Old Continent just like it.
Pork Chop hesitated for a moment, but took out a small notebook and quickly copied the pattern.
The old man who always wears a hat and is obsessed with studying the orcs may be very interested.
After completing the recording, Zhupa put away the small notebook, took out the telescope, and carefully observed the acid pterosaurs hanging on the mountain wall.
Soon, it made some discoveries.
Like many social creatures, acid pterosaurs are also divided into "social classes". The old, weak, sick and disabled can only live on the rock walls near the bottom of the canyon.
The upper levels of the mountain walls with sufficient sunlight, especially those caves and crevices that can shelter from wind and rain, are the exclusive residences of the most ferocious and strongest individuals.
In other words, there is no need for them to go down to the bottom of the valley. They can find the most suitable target on the rock wall near the ridge.
“Gale wind, let’s go back to the ridge, all the good targets are up there.”
“Woof??!”
