Chapter forty-six people in the way

"I wonder, are the armored bulls sensitive to sounds above a certain volume, or are they actually very poor in hearing and can only hear sounds above this volume?" Panis rode backwards on the horse bored and said to the girls, "Otherwise, how do they judge whether a sound exceeds their tolerance?"

"Of course it's judged by the body." Catherine gave Panis a blank look: "Or do you think it's a measurement using a machine?"

"No, actually I want to say that they are half deaf and can only hear huge sounds." Panis said as if he was on his back, "and then when he heard the sound, he was excited. It was so moving, so he rushed over with excitement. Well, this must be the case."

"You're so bored." The girls were too lazy to pay attention to him. Vivian rolled his eyes and said, "Someone has studied it. When they hear the sound, their ears and eyes will turn in the direction of the sound, but they won't be angry."

"Maybe they are pretending." Panis imitated the appearance of a oxen, and his eyes turned around: "They were afraid that others would know that they were deaf, so they pretended to hear something every once in a while and turned around and happened to be hit by the person who was studying it."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, the scout is back." Catherine speeded up to catch up with Aerland, and the two scouts were returning quickly from the wilderness ahead.

"Everything is normal." A dozen meters away, the scout made a safe gesture: "But no trace of the armored cow was found."

"Thank you for your hard work, let's go out." Aerland waved his hand to dispatch the subsequent scouts and said: "I'm very lucky. I haven't noticed them. I've seen two-thirds of the territory have passed. Maybe they have been left behind by us from the beginning."

Time has come to afternoon. With the requirement of Aerland trying to lower the volume as much as possible, there were more than 80 people in the entire fleet, and there were only horse hooves and wheels, and no one made any noise. Fortunately, Panis reminded. Aerland discovered this phenomenon of over-control in time. Otherwise, long-term silence and tension would easily lead to psychological collapse of the team members, which would cause greater trouble.

"I hope this is true, although I don't have much hope." Panis, who also caught up, closed his eyes and sniffed in the air and said.

"What? What did you smell?" The girls admire most about Panis is his sense of smell and hearing. Although they have seen it many times. However, whenever they see him, they can find many clues that others cannot find even if they have full sense of five senses, they will always be amazed again.

Panis did not answer, and rushed to the side of the road, bent down on the ground and copied casually. In a blink of an eye, he returned to his right hand. A fat hare in his hand was looking at the girls with innocent expressions.

"Dinner was discovered." Panis said proudly: "Lunch is always eaten immediately, and then use it to supplement nutrition for dinner."

"Can you be more serious?" Catherine stared at Panis with a bad look and said, "You're just looking for dinner? Why don't I believe that?"

"I'm wrong, please forgive me." Panis raised his hand and surrendered, threw the hare back to the roadside, allowing the lucky rabbit to escape in panic: "I heard no sound of the rabbit just now, and it was discovered by the smell."

"Is it normal?" Lina asked strangely: "World beasts that can survive in the territory of armored cows are good at moving silently. It should be easy not to make a sound."

"I'm also good at silent movement." Panis pointed to his nose: "But I will never keep this state at all times, and it will consume a lot of energy."

"That's because you're not a rabbit." Lina looked at Panis's weak expression after hearing it, snorted coldly and turned her head and said, "In other words, do you think the rabbit feels that it's necessary now, and the armored cow is nearby, so he's entering this state?"

"Well, the brain of the hare is probably unable to understand how much the volume of the sound stimulation of the armored cattle will be violent, but the instincts left over from many generations make them know that the sound of the armored cattle when they make sounds nearby may be attacked, even if they hide back into the hole. The trampling attack of the armored cattle may cause them to die. With this vague understanding, they will naturally move silently when the armored cattle is nearby." Panis explained: "Although I don't know much about the armored cattle. However, this is the nature of animals when facing enemies, and it can be applied to this hare."

"That's strange. No scouts from all directions found traces of the armored cow." Aerlan frowned and said worriedly: "Has he neglected?"

"This is not necessarily a scout." Panis said: "Some species of hares can even sense the movement of large creatures seven or eight kilometers away by monitoring the ground vibrations. At this distance, it is difficult to cover the reconnaissance range with the existing scouts, so it is not surprising that they cannot find armored cows. Just make sure they are not close to within one or two kilometers."

"You heard it, and then the reconnaissance will follow what Panis said, paying attention to the surrounding two kilometers, but it should be as close as possible to cover it in the distance." Aerland turned his head and said to the team members who listened very seriously. After a few days of contact, Aerland also understood that in terms of wild things, many of the casual words Panis may be valuable experiences that these novice and even some veterans will never learn in their lifetime. So he secretly told his team members many times to take Panis's words seriously, of course, only for the limited time.

Sometimes Aerland himself also wonders whether with his golden-level strength, if he has become an explorer since he was young, would he have the experience and skills like Panis? But often he will quickly interrupt his almost self-sarcastic contrast, because such behavior will only hit his confidence, which is really not worth it. Especially when he sees Panis provoking girls in various ways and then being chased by brutally, this feeling of not worth it will be even stronger.

"Sister, how about the armored cow?" Freya's voice came from the rear car not far away: "Have you found anything?"

"Not yet," said Catherine. "Don't worry, wait for the wedding with peace of mind. We will help you clear all obstacles."

"If you are attacked by a pirated bull, your vehicle will retreat one after another." Panis added: "There are ways for other vehicles to evacuate, but you cannot leave the car, which is easy to become the primary target."

"In fact, if a large carriage like the one I am now in, if you drive the horse away when you are attacked, you will not become targets for armored cows. Even the armored cows in violent state are the same." Freya said: "Just like they will not foolishly hit the wall, they will distinguish objects and creatures and will not attack indiscriminately. But there are exceptions."

"Exception?" Catherine tightened her heart and asked, "When will it be an exception?"

"I also knew this by chance." Freya said: "The lifespan of armored cows can usually reach 100 to 150 years, but their fertility period is also very long, and they often give birth every seven or eight years. In the year after they give birth, this creature is the most dangerous. Once the cubs are threatened, they will not only attack everything in sight, but also have a significant increase in speed and strength, which is very terrible."

"Is it a childbirth period?" Panis laughed dryly: "We shouldn't be so unlucky. Haha, haha."

"Yes, the opponent shouldn't be so crazy, right?" Lina, who was following him, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead: "If they really do this, it will be difficult for the convoy to save it."

"Captain Aerland." Catherine didn't care about nonsense, and didn't care about Freya, who was still sighing about the miracle of life and the greatness of maternal love, ran to the front of the team like a gust of wind and muttering to Aerland.

"I have an ominous premonition." Panis poked Lina beside her: "It is very likely that we are so unlucky this time."

"I, I think we have been so unlucky, not only this time." Lina's face wrinkled in sorrow: "I don't want to fight those crazy stupid bulls. Especially the legendary stupid bulls, there is no chance of winning at all."

"It's no longer a matter of chance of winning, but a question of whether the convoy can be evacuated intact." Panis was about to continue saying something, but suddenly his expression changed and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop."

The trained coachmen immediately stopped the car quickly. Except for Catherine who had raised her shield and sword in front of her, everyone's eyes were staring straight at Pannis.

"There are people in front." Panis narrowed his eyes and confirmed: "About a kilometer, there is something in the middle of the road. It should be a standing person."

"Why is the scout not rewarded? There will be no accident." Aerlan did not doubt Panis's judgment. Instead, he said uneasy.

"It's the magic waves of illusion." Vivian, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "It should be that he used illusion to hide his existence, so the scout didn't notice it. I think I guess who it was. But she has already left the stage? Why does it still appear?"

"That little rabbit," said Panis. "I've asked you over and asked. I hope it's not that the child lost his temper and went back on his word."

The convoy set off again and slowly moved forward, and the five people as the leader moved forward quickly and approached the roadblocker standing in the middle of the road. As expected, as Vivian guessed, the one blocked the road was the little girl with a rabbit mask who had set up a rockfall trap. At this time, although the little girl still had a rabbit mask on her face, she wrapped herself tightly in thick clothes, and could not tell her figure at all. If she had not made a judgment in her heart, she would have connected her image with her previous ones.

"Didn't you leave the stage?" Vivian pretended to be fierce in front of the little girl again: "Why are you running back? I said last time that if you dare to appear again, I will slap you in the butt."

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you." The little girl covered her butt and took a few steps back, and said stubbornly: "I'm not here to fight, I'm here to pass the message."
