  Chapter 30 29. Hunting fish by the river

Several clearly visible water lines appeared on the river, and they rowed straight to the place where the aboriginal women fetched water. When they reached the river, the aboriginal women had already left the river, and these beasts in the water could only writhe in shallow water There was a huge splash, revealing a part of white scaled belly, and then it quietly hid in the river.

  The distance is a little far away, so I can't see clearly whether those fierce beasts are crocodiles. In short, they are not kind.

  'Fortunately, those aboriginal women walked fast, otherwise they would be in danger! ’ He Boqiang had such thoughts in his heart.

  He immediately realized that this kind of thinking should not be known to the people around him. Now all the soldiers of the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment hated the natives.

  He Boqiang shook his head vigorously, trying to get these thoughts out of his mind.

It is said that there are countless ferocious beasts hidden in the deep mountains and swamps of the Gandarer Mountains. It seems that this statement is true. He Boqiang walked along the mountain ridge with the second team for two days, but in fact he did not leave the Gandarer Mountains. fringe area.

  Red Socks crawled out of the tent at this time, he came to He Boqiang's side, and followed He Boqiang's gaze towards the river valley.

  It happened that those aboriginal women got into the bushes, and only the few giant beasts in the water were churning in the shallow water, and they were trying to return to the deep water.

   "Oh my God, what did I see? Those are timfish... Suldak... Uh, captain, captain! Come here quickly, you see a school of timfish in the valley below."

   "...What? Where is it?" Hearing Red Sox's shout, Suldak ran faster than a rabbit.

  When his figure appeared beside He Boqiang, those Tim fish had already dived into the water, leaving only a few faint water lines.

  Red Sock Garcia stretched out his neck excitedly. He was a little thin, and his tall figure made him look like a stick.

He vowed to Suldak: "Yes, it must be Tim fish. I know this kind of big fish. When I participated in the battle in the Kempato River Basin, I saw with my own eyes an adult Tim fish pulling a head alone. The horned bison were dragged into the river and drowned."

  The other members of the team also came here when they heard the yelling of the red socks, but they heard that the Tim fish was found in the river valley, and they all seemed eager to try.

  Kagel asked Suldak: "What should I do? Captain."

His face is full of beards, his actual age is at least ten years younger than his appearance, he is even younger than Suldak, but he looks like a middle-aged uncle .

  Suldak said without thinking: "Go and investigate again. If we really encounter Tim fish, we will not come in vain this time."

  Red Sox Garcia volunteered to raise his hand and said, "I'll go!"

  Suldak patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful, don't let those big guys drag you into the river, if you get into the belly of a fish, I can't save you!"

  Red Sock seemed impatient, picked up a Paglio spear, and ran down the hillside.

"I know!"

  …

  Tim, the transliteration of ancient elf language, translated into Grimm Empire language means 'water arrow'.

  In fact, this Tim fish is used to shooting a 'water arrow' from the water to hunt animals on the shore. This kind of Tim fish often dives underwater. Once an animal comes to the river, it will slowly approach from underwater. When it dives to the river, it will jump out of the water with a big tail, and then open A jet of water is sprayed out from the big mouth, even if it is as strong as a one-horned bison, it will be unconscious on the spot if it is shot by a water arrow.

   Tim fish is a specialty of the Kampato River Basin. I didn't expect this kind of first-class monster to exist in the valley of the Gandar Er Mountains.

   All monsters have magic cores in their skulls.

Tim fish is no exception, but the probability of magic cores produced by first-level monsters is slightly lower, and most of these magic cores, which are slightly larger than pigeon eggs, have not conceived magic crystals, even if there are magic cores in them. Spar, then such a larger magic spar can only be regarded as magic spar fragments.

  Now in the magic market of the Green Empire, magic crystal fragments are far less valuable than before.

However, this kind of timfish is one of the few low-level monsters that the second team can hunt. This is why the soldiers of the second team couldn't move their eyes away after seeing the timfish. But there is a chance to open a junior monster with a magic core.

   (Green Empire coin exchange ratio: 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin, 10 gold coins = 1 magic spar)

  This time, the second team just happened to be on a mission alone, and it was a search mission with the greatest degree of autonomy and freedom. This matter can be carried out as long as the captain Suldak nods.

  Suldak did not refuse Red Sox to go to the valley to investigate, which means that he did not object to the hunt.

  …

  After the soldiers of the second team found a group of Tim fish in the river valley, they did not act rashly, but returned to the mountains silently.

   After an afternoon, the soldiers of the second team found the footprints of some small animals on the hillside, and finally found some fresh excrement on the edge of a birch forest.

  Augustus, who is best at scouting in the team, analyzed that these should be pig manure. This means that there should be a herd of yogs nearby.

Augustus is good at setting animal traps. He used a few finger-thick hemp ropes to set up simple rope traps, and sprinkled marching rations next to several traps, and then everyone went back to the tent and waited. , After dinner, the soldiers came back to the birch forest and found that the noose trap set by Augustus actually caught two pigs not much bigger than the earth dogs.

The other noose traps were not set, but the ropes were bitten off by Youzhu with his teeth, and those Youzhu who had bitten off the ropes escaped with nooses on their legs, and the remaining two Youzhus seemed to be alive So smart, they didn't try to bite the hemp rope, but just lay on the ground obediently.

The two yuzhus became panicked when they saw the soldiers appearing, and there was no time to struggle to escape. Augustus, who rushed up, beat him to death on the spot with a wooden stick, and then the soldiers happily carried the two yuzhus. The pig returns to the tent.

  …

The next morning, He Boqiang did not eat the pork. The two pigs were carried directly to the river by the soldiers. Augustus cut a few times on one pig, and then cut two pigs at both ends. The sharpened wooden stick is worn in Youzhu's body and tied into a cross. After tying the thickest hemp rope, one end of the hemp rope is tied to a big tree on the bank of the river valley. The piglets were thrown into the river.

  He Boqiang is the first time to see such a rough way of hunting.

Everyone didn't wait too long at all. When the pig tied to the wooden cross was thrown into the river, the blood that had been condensed in the body was washed by the river, and slowly spread into the river along the cut wound. Seeing several water lines in the river quickly chasing You Zhu floating on the river.

  The waterline rushing to the front opened its huge mouth recklessly, and swallowed the pig in one gulp the moment it rushed out of the water.

This tim fish made a huge splash on the water surface, and its blue-black back was almost two meters long above the water. After swallowing Youzhu, the tim fish quickly wanted to sink to the bottom of the water. Unexpectedly, it was under the thick hemp rope It was straightened in an instant, and the big tree on the bank was pulled by the Tim fish and made a 'squeaky' sound.

Thirteen people, including He Boqiang, pulled the hemp rope together and dragged the Tim fish weighing hundreds of catties to the shore. With a pig stuffed in its mouth, the Tim fish couldn't release the water arrow at all, and was dragged Although he was still struggling on the shore, he was directly stabbed to death on the shore by two soldiers with spears...
