The weather was extremely hot and there was not a breath of wind on the road.
Early in the morning, Bingge and Corbier drove for several hours and finally arrived at Qinghuang Town before noon. He didn't bother to say hello to familiar people and went straight to the castle.
After Allen got the news, he decided to let Antonio go. After all, apart from himself as a knight, the territory also had Antonio to break through and become a knight. This matter could be solved by letting Antonio go. He still stayed in his study and wrote down his plan for the territory.
Pursue every aspect, after all, the more detailed the planning of the territory, the better.
Allen was afraid that something might happen to Antonio, so just in case, before Antonio set off, he asked him to bring fifty cavalry with him. With the cooperation of fifty cavalry, even powerful low-level monsters can compete with one or two.
As long as no mid-level monsters appear, Antonio and the cavalry are basically in no danger.
After receiving the order, Antonio led the cavalry in leather armor, picked up their weapons, and set off towards Fengguo Village.
On the way to Fengguo Village, Binge looked back at Antonio who was wearing iron armor and had an expressionless face. After hesitating for a while, he slowly slowed down the horse, slowly approached Antonio, and stopped after a distance.
Come down.
Binge wasn't too familiar with Antonio, the captain of the Cavaliers, so he didn't want to get too close to him.
"Lord Antonio, I'm sorry, I haven't had time to congratulate you for breaking through to the Knights?" Binger looked at Antonio next to him and congratulated.
"Yeah." Antonio, still expressionless, hummed softly.
"Um, Lord Antonio, I still don't know the details of this matter! Let me tell you."
"Um."
After seeing that Antonio didn't like talking very much, he couldn't help but stopped trying to be close, and simply told Antonio what happened in detail. After all, Antonio was here to solve problems in their village. If
If something goes wrong, you have a heavy responsibility.
After Antonio heard this, he turned around and looked at Binger and said: "Village Chief Binger, now we don't know where this beast is at all. Do you have any way to find it?" It's okay to let Antonio and the cavalry deal with the beast, but let him
They'll have a hard time finding the missing beast.
"..." Bing Ge was confused. He originally thought that if he left the matter to Antonio, the beast would be caught soon, but he didn't expect that now he would have to find the traces of the beast by himself.
"Yes! Pine! Pine must have a way." Binge thought of the hunter Pine. Pine has been hunting in the forest with his father since he was a child. He discussed his familiarity with animals. No one in the village can compare with Pine. Binge
I'm not sure if Pine can find the unknown beast, but asking Pine for help is the best choice now.
"Pine?" Antonio asked slightly curiously.
"Yes! Pine is the hunter in the village. He has rich experience and knows all kinds of wild beasts well. He will definitely have a way to find that beast!" Binger said to Antonio with certainty.
When the team arrived at Fengguo Village, Bingge led everyone to Pine's house.
"Pine, is Pine here?" Binger patted the door of Pine's house.
After about a while, the wooden door was opened. The person who opened the door was a little girl with big watery eyes and two ponytails. She was very cute. She was Pine's daughter Xiaosi.
"It's Mr. Village Chief. Father went hunting and hasn't come back yet?" Xiaosi said timidly.
"Then... Mr. Antonio should go to my house to rest first. It will probably take a while for Pine to come back." Binger said with a smile.
"No, let's wait here!" After speaking, Antonio motioned to the cavalry to dismount and rest where they were.
Time passed quickly, and as evening approached, Pine saw a large group of people in front of his house from a distance, and he quickly ran over.
"Village Chief Bing Ge, what's going on?" Pine saw Bing Ge in the crowd.
"Pine! You came just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Antonio. He was sent by the Baron to help us catch the beast. These people are Mr. Antonio's subordinates." Binger saw that Pine had finally arrived.
, and quickly introduced him to Pine.
After some explanations, Pine finally understood what was going on. He handed the hare and pheasant on his shoulders to his daughter Xiaosi and asked her to go home first. Then he followed everyone to the village chief's house to discuss the matter.
"Pine, we can't confirm its whereabouts right now. I heard from the village chief that you might have some ideas?" Antonio said directly to Pine.
After hearing this, the village chief Binger smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes, Pine, you are experienced, you must be able to find this guy's traces, right?"
"Village Chief, Mr. Antonio, it's actually hard to find traces of this guy. I've been hunting for so many years, but I still can't figure out what kind of monster it is. But since it has been poaching livestock, I think we can start from this aspect."
Pine said seriously.
"You mean... you want to seduce?" Antonio asked doubtfully.
"Yes, sir! We can set a trap to lure it over!" Pine nodded.
After thinking for a while.
"Then it's settled. Since it has been operating at night, let's seduce it tonight, and leave the matter of Pine to you. Once it shows up, I will kill it immediately." Antonio handed over the matter to you.
Got Pine.
"Yes, Lord Antonio." As an old hunter, Pine is very familiar with setting traps.
Every household in the village was asked to bring their own livestock and poultry into their homes, and several cows in the village were also brought into special cow houses. In order to prevent the beast from poaching any more poultry and livestock, Pine also worked hard.
thought.
Pine asked several cavalry brothers to dig a deep pit on the road to the village, cover it with slender bamboo branches and thatch, chop off two legs of a chicken donated by the village chief's family, and tie it above the sacrifice.
.
I have to say that Pine thought very carefully and cut off the two legs of the chicken. This not only allowed the smell of blood to spread and stimulate the sense of smell of the beasts, but also prevented some beasts from being interested in dead things, so he kept the chicken alive.
The cavalry were arranged to hold spears and hide in the surrounding houses. The others also retreated to the houses, and then they waited quietly.
The moon began to rise high. On the trap, the chicken's cries became weaker and weaker due to the loss of blood. The only sound left around was the gentle breathing of Antonio and the others.
Time passed bit by bit.
…
"Here it comes!" Pine said softly.
Everyone looked in the direction of Pine's finger. In the alley not far away, a shadow appeared and gradually leaked out of the alley.
As this guy slowly came from the dark alley to the moonlit road, only then did everyone clearly see the true appearance of this mysterious beast.
Rat! This guy is a huge black rat, with four powerful claws, a body as big as a pig, and a pair of red eyes, full of wildness and cruelty.
Mutated monsters! Antonio was shocked. The so-called mutated monsters are those animals that were once ordinary, mutated due to unknown reasons, and absorbed the power of elements into their bodies to become mutated monsters.
