Chapter 46 Use your brain to deal with the beast
The "Big Trumpet Lizard" roared in the direction of the shack, and the sound waves overturned the blanket and swept the dummy in Dagon clothes out. When the dummy with a smiley face rolled on the ground, it knew it was deceived. So the angry trumpet Lizard raised his head, found and stared at the heavy crossbow, and then swept it down with its tail.
It wants to vent its anger. This heavy crossbow was mounted upside down by Doma riding the bear lizard. When it fell to the ground, some parts had already bounced out and were then attacked by the sound waves of the lizard venting its anger. Dagon looked at the trumpet lizard. Every time it roared, it would squeeze out a lot of blood from its neck, forming a red river flowing along its neck. This is a very serious injury, and the lizard cannot sit idly by. At this time, Dagon felt the retreating emotion from the lizard's glowing eyes, and also confirmed this from its twisting movement.
It seems that the trumpet lizard's attention is distracted, but it may also be a trap. There are many similar tricks in martial arts, pretending to be a fool, pretending to be able to escape, and then grab the opponent's carelessness and win with one blow. Since the lizard can use mana, it is smarter than a monster who cannot use mana. Dagon took out a signal whistle from the pocket of the hunter's armor shirt and threw it to the other side of the cave with a high parabola.
Pick.
The trumpet lizard immediately turned its head, opened the umbrella surface, and roared with unprecedented intensity. The sound waves caused a rippling effect in the air, and even squeezed out the moisture in the air. This was the good opportunity for Dagon to attack.
Holding the hunting axe in one hand, and holding the other hand against his throat, Dagon flashed out from behind the stalactite. The lizard was indeed powerful, and could catch Dagon's figure with its rotational eyeballs, so he turned his head while roaring. At that time, his mana gathered at the fingertips and triggered the runes. The scales engraved with the word "scroll" gathered strong light in Dagon's throat, and burst out from his mouth that he had opened with all his might.
The two big mouths of the lizard and Dagon were finally getting faster.
The violent and strong light is very effective for underground creatures with eyes. They are more sensitive to light and lack resistance than ground creatures. Although Dagon can't hear anything now, the trumpet lizard can't see anything now, which is much worse. The deaf and the blind fight face to face, and the deaf still have weapons in their hands, and the result can be imagined.
The strong light flashed, and Dagon charged. He kicked out a stone to the right, then circled from the left, easily avoiding the lizard's waving claws. Although the lizard was bigger than himself and taller than himself, the long handle of the hunting axe could make up for this advantage. Dagon chose the target of attacking were the sound organs on the side of the lizard's cheeks. He had been targeting here for a long time, and the organs that were focused on attacking could not take into account both defense. While moving, he connected the swing of his body with the movement of wielding the weapon, so he could swing the axe in a two or three steps and smash it hard.
Bang! Puff!
The organ that launched the sound wave attack was like overlapping shells, and when it was broken, it seemed to overlapping shells. The axe blade split them directly, and the high-frequency vibration that was constantly underway caused it to explode into pieces. A terrible wound appeared on the side of the trumpet lizard, and the flesh that was turning outward even exposed the bones below. Dagon dragged the axe to let the axe blade cut.
The blood flowed like a waterfall. The lizard's side skin was almost peeled off, a large number of muscles were cut off, and the blood vessels were even more miserable. At this time, the lizard had fallen into a completely violent state. It twisted its body desperately, used all its claws and tail on its side, and swept across to the location where Dagon was.
It still couldn't see it. The strong light generated by the "flashing" rune made its vision full of large black spots, which was almost the same as the state of the eyes after accidentally looking directly at the sun at noon. Dagon knew that the lizard could not see for the time being, and Dagon also expected that the lizard would launch a blind attack. While dragging the axe, he had already escaped backwards, and when the lizard swept across, he went around to the front, and pointed his finger at the "flashing" rune again.
Practicing the Rune Breathing Technique slowly but firmly increased Dagon's mana, which allowed him to use the runes twice in a row. Cultivation made Dagon's mana more stable and orderly, and also made the directional effect of the runes burst out better. The strong light that appeared again completely made the lizard lose sight and even started to bleed. But for Dagon, these strong lights just made him a little dazed, with some more ghosts in his vision.
It doesn't matter if the ghosting is. I have remembered the shape of the lizard anyway, and I don't think it has eight feet. After proving the strong light, Dagon went around and did not attack the side of the sound organ as the lizard expected, but instead grabbed the bloody place and hammered it hard. This time, Dagon used the hammer head to aim at the exposed skull of the lizard.
The skull is broken. Even with the protection of muscles, skin and scales, the hammer has a strong ability to destroy the skull, not to mention that the protective layer has been torn apart. When the hammer hits it hard, you can feel the lizard staggering to the side, and its head sways to the ground, then it turns over and falls to the ground with a bang.
Instead of going up to check the body immediately, Dagon returned to the shelter he called the temporary shack and took out a large bag of medicine from a messy backpack.
The medicine powder surrounded the corpse of the trumpet lizard. The medicine powder in the small bag can weaken the smell of blood and reduce the chance of other predators being attracted. The tools issued by the hunting union, including crossbows and medicine powder, will be deducted if used or damaged, but Dagon did not hesitate to use all the medicine powder. In addition to surrounding the corpse, he also sprinkled some of the powder onto the lizard. Then he retracted back to the bunker and continued to hide.
There is no way, his hearing has not yet recovered. If a beast comes at this time, he will not hear any movement, including the sound of bells guarding traps around the camp. In battle, vision is very important; while on alert, hearing can almost determine life and death.
More than ten minutes later, a sharp whistle gradually appeared in Dagon's ears. He opened his mouth wide, slowly opened and closed, and continued to relax the muscles that affected his ears. The sound waves of the horn lizard were indeed powerful, but it did not yell directly at Dagon. Instead, in order to pursue the enhancement effect of direction, it reduced the impact on the opposite side.
"If it proves that he is yelled twice, his ears will be ruined..." Dagon thought for a while and felt that it should be made and carried with him, which should be effective. He gently rubbed his ears, and the whistling gradually turned into tinnitus, and then began to relieve it. His hearing did not fully recover, and the movements around him still felt a little stuffy, but he was still no longer deaf.
"You can't take this cave anymore." Dagon looked at the pool of blood all over the ground and could only make this decision helplessly. The smell was too heavy, the effect of the medicine powder was limited, and the sleeping place could not be placed next to the kitchen. He had to move and retreat for a distance.
"You can only take away the essence of the corpse and leave a part to attract wandering predators. Sometimes it is safe to share." Dagon dragged the lizard's tail and tried to drag it to the cave where it triggered the trap for the first time. All processing must be completed here. The hunting axe was fixed to the ground. Dagon took out the short axe and began to try to decompose the lizard.
The hunters of the Jiangu tribe always carry three weapons: crossbow, spear, and short axe. The underground environment is basically composed of tunnels and caves. The flat-fired crossbow can exert greater power in this terrain. The spear with horizontal branches can cope with enemy charges, take precedence at a safe distance, cause damage, and can also pull out the second short weapon with you at any time. The axe can be used as a short weapon or thrown, and the key is to split the prey and decompose it.
Observe the lines of muscles and find fragile joints. The rest of the work is like logging. This lizard is too big and needs to be left to distract the attraction. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the most suitable part to deal with it. Which one is more valuable, especially when encountering prey you have never seen before, this is a very test of a hunter's vision.
"The skin is not strong, probably to adapt to the ability of sound wave oscillation. In front of the sound wave, the harder it is, the more dangerous it is." Dagon first lowered the priority of skinning. "The hardness of the claws is average. This is a tool claw for digging and dining, not attack claws, and it is not worth the money." So, there is no need to worry about picking the claws.
The lizard's teeth are small and fine, numerous, and its surface is soft, as if it is attached to a layer of gelatin. Its chewing ability should be average, but with the sound waves, the big horn lizard can completely shake the prey into meat paste and then suck and eat it. Alas, this is a very matching ability for the lizard, but this tooth cannot even be made of jewelry and is of no value.
Meat is a must, and it is relatively best to handle. This lizard has at least 1,500 kilograms. It has just been processed to catch crabs in the hole. The amount of antiseptic powder is not large, so it can only be selected to save the best piece of meat. The legs, spine, and chest are basically the same. Dagon waved his axe, only seeking speed but not accuracy, and he started to do his job.
Cut the soft skin on the lizard's belly and spread it on the ground, sprinkle a layer of antiseptic powder, and then pile the cut meat. Whenever Dagon waves his axe, the lizard's corpse will tremble and the drama of separation of bones and flesh will be staged.
After cutting large pieces of meat, the more precious heart is collected, and the rest is not ready to move. Compared with muscles, the internal organs rot faster, especially the cold-blooded creatures like lizards, which have more bacteria in their stomachs. When rotted, they will emit a strong smell. The internal organs left in this cave will become bait, attracting attention from Dagon.
Sprinkle another layer of anticorrosion powder on the meat piece and put the heart on the tip of the hunting axe spear. Dagon was about to evacuate. Unexpectedly, Star Helmet pulled his beard hard, then climbed down, and climbed onto the head of the big lizard. "Kui! Kui!" It used its tail to hit the skull that was broken by the hunting axe, and shouted hard.
"I think you are saying a loss, right? Do you think I am losing?" Dagon put down his baggage and the head hunting axe, held the short axe again, and made the final treatment of the corpse. He knocked on the fragments of the head and skull and made a larger gap. Dagon found two balls of meat wrapped in a large number of nerves. Judging from the meaning of the star helmet, it was talking about this thing, so Dagon split the balls with an axe.
Inside are two gray stones, the size is similar to walnuts. They have a smooth feel and are of unknown purpose. Dagon handed the stone to the star helmet, and the little bear lizard held his head up and was disdainful, just wiping away the blood on the clean skin, and then returned to the beard nest to rest.
