Feich rushed down the mountain almost all the way. He finally caught up with Diderit and then went to chase Tron without stopping. When they finally reunited in the sparse woods in the valley, Feich's lungs were about to explode.
"It's a little late to return to the team safely."
Feiqi looked up at the sky. If he hadn't been gasping for breath, he would have complained: You have no watch yet, how could you know it was a little late? Are you counting your heartbeat all the way?
"Can I show me the kitten now?" Diderit stretched out his hands and groped on him without waiting for Fitch to agree. The pure black ghost cat was held in cotton armor by Fitch, and was shaking and sleeping soundly as his chest fluttered. When Diderit touched his hand, it seemed uncomfortable and twisted its body to resist.
But it was too small, but three or four kilograms deep, and its main size was hairy, and there was no weapon except cute, so it was naturally snatched by Diderit. It tried hard to open its eyes, see the right time, and bit it on Diderit's iron gloves in one bite.
"Mao..." It withdrew its mouth aggrievedly.
"It should be a meow, not a hair... I have to take time to teach it." Feiqi reached out to touch it, and his wrist was immediately entangled by the ghost cat's tail. However, it did not have the strength to hang itself up, so it still couldn't break free from Diderit's hand.
Everyone came over and were all snatched by the cute little black cat. But Kelly began to have an overly serious expression: "Are you going to raise a ghost cat? This is impossible! Tron, what are the characteristics of the ghost cat?"
"It's very hiding, cunning, dangerous creatures hunting by accurately striking. Although they look like cats, their ability to prevent falling damage is not good...that should be all."
"Go back and study harder, you forgot something. Feichi, you probably haven't started learning yet, but Wumama, Ramsden, who knows?"
Wumamamo said nothing. Ramsden clenched his fists, as if to be brave. He replied: "The recipes for adult ghost cats are very wide, and snakes are their favorite things. But ghost cat cubs can only eat their mother's milk and nothing else."
"Just eat milk...wait, only eat mother's milk, or only the ghost cat's milk?"
"It cannot be replaced with other milk. It cannot be eaten, and it cannot be digested. It is harmful to the body." Ramsden was sad: "No one has ever been able to successfully raise young ghost cats, but there are several precedents for domesticating adults."
"Fech, there is one more thing you need to consider." Kelle brought another blow: "You bring it back to the castle, how can it survive this winter? Those wandering souls will kill it!"
"I always hold it. If you want to hurt it, you have to pass my level first." Feiqi has a soul-harvesting dagger, and he is not worried about the wild soul. "The milk problem is very troublesome, but I always have to try it. I can't just throw it here."
"Yes, you can't just throw it away, right?" Didert rubbed the black cat with his face, and was pushed away by it with resistance. At this time, the pink claw pad was exposed, immediately attracting the attention of the elf. She had a new toy and kept fiddling with her fingers. "Feich, the cat you saved, give it a name? It must be the girl's name, it is her."
"You saved it? I thought you robbed it..." Tron rubbed his nose: "Let's name quickly, and then let's work quickly, and there's still a griffin to deal with!"
"This name is so dark, its name is Midnight, its nickname is Coal Ball!" Feiqi declared his ownership.
"Hair..." Coal Ball Midnight Hall struggled hard and finally escaped back to Feiqi's hand. It found the buttons that the cotton armor had unbuttoned on its chest and drilled into the gap. It looked around vigilantly, then closed its eyes.
"Silly cat, it should be a meow." Feiqi rubbed its head and hid it.
"Let's play after you eliminate the griffin!" Tron sighed and focused everyone's attention. "Wummama, you place the shooting net on the tree. Don't forget to disguise it. Also be careful to keep the sky and report the situation at any time. Instructor, hide the cover and leave it to you. Ramsden, prepare the pot, take out the griffin's meat strips and leather, and prepare to put the bait. Feich, let's put the tree down. Come and get the saw."
"What am I doing?" asked Didrit.
"You come and look at it and prepare your weapons at the same time. It's best if you have time to polish it, but you have to control the volume."
Tron took out the soft saw, grabbed one end with Feich, and then began to saw the tree. The reason why the tree was sawed down was for their plan. They needed to create a larger clearing in the sparse woods for the griffin to land. The bait was placed in the center of the clearing, and surrounded by relatively thick and tall trees.
The flying maneuverability of griffons is a capability that everyone cannot reach. Everyone would rather fight mammoths than griffons. Therefore, in Tron's plan, seducing griffons is only the most basic part, and how to limit the flying ability of griffons is the key. The weapons that the Eagle School is best at using are crossbows and nets, so they brought a huge net. The tough coconut silk fibers, extremely thin iron wire, and the tough spider silk of the underground demon hunter spider were mixed and entangled together. The net was twenty meters square, enough to entangle the griffon for a period of time.
Wumama will hide in different trees and each has a corner of the net. After the griffin lands, they use crossbows to shoot one corner of the net in different directions, so that the net will spread above the griffin's head. Feich and Ramsden will grab the net at the fastest speed, and then entangle the griffin with Wumama and Kelie who jumped off the tree. Tron and Diderit will use the long weapon in their hands to attack the griffin in the net. The primary target is the blood vessels in the neck, which cannot be avoided quickly, is easier to hit, and is fatal. The secondary target is the griffin's wings, which must cause enough damage to prevent it from flying.
Griffons will definitely struggle, and the net is unlikely to last for a long time, so the maximum damage must be erupted in a short period of time. This requires the ambushers to approach the battlefield as close as possible to arrive as soon as possible. Everyone has potions to cover the smell and also carry materials to make camouflage covering cloth. On the battlefield, the number of crossbow bows is twice that of combatants. At least there is no need to consider reloading during the first round of shooting, and the crossbow arrows are all poisoned.
Everyone is determined to win.
"We will win." Tron encouraged Fitch while pulling the soft saw: "After the battle, the most important thing is not to panic. The griffin will struggle, resist, and there will be blood everywhere, but you just need to think about one thing: the original plan. Just follow the plan and you will know what you are doing, and others will know what you are doing, and you can cooperate with each other. The griffin's combat power is greater than any of us, but less than our cooperation."
"I remember, I won't hold back." Feiqi replied: "I'm not nervous now, but a little excited. I've been thinking about how those people will look when we carry the griffin's head back to the fortress and then hand in the mission? They must have thought that we were still searching in the mountains, and were tortured by the environment."
"This is certain, they will definitely show a look of surprise." Tron agreed with Feich's words, "We are lucky this time. Griffin is not far away because of its strong desire for revenge. Usually this season, because there is little prey, it should have flew far away. Half a month... We may not be able to find it even in a month."
"It's good to complete it. How much money can you get after it is finished?" Feiqi asked curiously.
"Outside, the usual bounty for hunting a griffin is about 150 gold coins, which can reach up to 250 for some griffins that are particularly dangerous or have caused panic. However, the church's mission is relatively small, and fifty gold coins are almost the same. The main thing is to supply, that is, the cost of food and drink."
"Hmm? Isn't guarding the castle itself not giving food and drink?"
"No, there is no shortage of maintenance fortresses and rations, but that is calculated based on ordinary people. For the consumption brought by our strict training, it is definitely not enough to eat. This time, we will take back the griffin and calculate the bounty twice. It is estimated that it will be exchanged for a car of purified carrots and two cars of purified devil powder."
"Devil's Pink? What's that?"
"I can't explain clearly for a while, you will know it. It's too early to discuss the rewards for completing the task." Tron sighed, and then said, "The last time I completed the task independently and handed over the woodland troll's heads, they actually said that the task was not registered. I waited there for three days before the messenger appeared. He didn't dare to go on the road because it was raining in the mountains, so he stopped in the town's companion hotel for five days. But I searched in the rain and hunted monsters. Now, not only are they inefficient, but there are not many Paladins who have the ability to act alone in the Sunset Mountains."
"If there is, you will not be raided by a griffin, and two people died instantly. This is a sign of no alert ability. Do you still remember what Instructor Kelly said when he saw the corpse?"
Tron nodded, and he would definitely not forget the body of the knight who had been thrown into pieces. "The griffin grabbed it from the ground, lifted it up to a high altitude, and then dropped it. The claws did not pierce his armor, so he was still alive in the process. But he did not draw his sword! Kelly said at the time that he was not even as good as a timid rabbit, and the rabbit would bite people!"
"Tron, what do so many Paladins use for?"
"Who do you ask me? The church's paladins cannot become noble lords, but their training content is the fief lords... Anyway, it's not the things that fight monsters. So, I'll see it here. Let's do something else, and we'll finally push it down."
As long as the tree is pushed down, there will be enough battlefield space, but there will be a lot of noise when it falls down, so it will be said after everything is ready. The people of the griffin hunting team cooperate with each other, and the preparations are going very smoothly, so they are completed faster than expected. When Ramsden disguised the griffin's corpse and everything is ready, there are more than three hours before the evening.
Chapter completed!
