Chapter 38 Take the initiative
In the evening of the second day, in the log cabin on duty.
New shuttle-shaped "arrows", or darts, were thrown into the soft animal skin bag on the table one after another by Colin, colliding with each other and making a ding ding sound.
When was half full, Colin tied it around his waist and stored it close to the body.
This isn't the only place on his body where the shuttle dart is stored. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation where no darts are available, he has stored more or less shuttle darts in various places on his body.
In addition, he also carried some dry food made by Renee, just in case.
Everything is ready, he waits quietly in the house.
According to common sense, there should also be a black-bristled giant boar attacking tonight.
And all he needs to do is to wait until the patrolling city guards notice the movement, sound the flare, and then rush over.
Before that, Holt would work with Mallory, the first apprentice of the Chiwen Gang, to plant markers for the wild boars before they came.
Then waited for them to meet in place, and then chased after the signs together.
The moonlight outside the window is bright, the silver-white moonlight spills into the window, and quietly dissolves in the soft white light of the bright crystal.
Tonight is a good weather, the moon and stars are thin, and you can see everything in the fields without a torch.
Sitting in the house and waiting for a long time, the signal flare never came. Colin kept thinking about it, but he couldn't calm down and practice.
'I still haven't experienced a real battle...' He chuckled in his heart, but he didn't feel anything.
Exams, interviews, boss fights in games, and even before going on a trip, people will inevitably have a little heartbeat.
This feeling is mixed with excitement, nervousness, anticipation, fear, etc. It is difficult to summarize simply, and it is also human nature.
Colin pushed open the door and went out, facing the wooden house, bending his legs slightly, and then jumped up.
The terrain outside the west of the city is flat, which is not only conducive to farming, but also means that the view is not easily blocked. He stood on the roof, with a clear view all around.
Teams of city guards holding torches patrolled the fields regularly, drawing orange-yellow tracks in the dark night.
The cool wind blew, and his heart gradually calmed down. After performing a golden cleansing stroke on the roof below him as usual, he sat down with his legs crossed and began to practice meditation.
Time goes by.
Tap Tapping——
The footsteps of the city guards ranged from far to near, and from near to far. Patrol back and forth.
I do not know how long it has been.
呲!
boom!
An orange-yellow signal flare suddenly exploded in the night sky, very eye-catching. In an instant, Colin's fair face was covered with a faint orange light.
Before he could react in his mind, his body had already jumped down from the wooden house.
But before his toes touched the ground, he heard a squeak from the wooden house on the right!
looked up, and a figure was rising into the sky, rushing towards the direction from which the flare was fired, that was Holt.
Looking further to the left, there is also a wizard flying quickly in the night sky, it should be Mallory of the Chiwen Gang.
Colin exhaled slightly, feeling that the blood in his body was inexplicably agitated. He no longer hesitated, and hurried along the field ridge.
The wind whistled past his ears, and his strong and powerful feet precisely stepped on the narrow field ridge dirt road.
After a while, he saw a light coming from the front.
After a while, the unique neigh of the black-bristled giant pig also entered his ears with the air.
But as he got closer, the black mane giant pig's neighing got farther and farther.
When he reached the firelight, only a small group of city guards holding torches and two wizards, Holt and Mallory, were standing there waiting for them.
Maybe because the area where the black mane giant pig attacked happened to be the area he was in charge of, so he was the first to arrive besides Holt and Mallory.
Colin greeted them respectfully, then stood aside and waited.
In the field in front of , large swathes of wheat lie down, forming a clearly visible trail leading to the dark forest.
‘It seems that Holt and the others have marked the black mane giant boar and drove it back to the dark forest. ' he surmised to himself.
Tattoo——
Accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps, more and more wizards gathered around him. He didn't wait long before all the people arrived.
Holt looked around for a week, and after counting the number of people, he simply ordered.
"Set off!"
He walked ahead, and Mallory came to the rear of the line.
After a while, they followed the trail to the edge of the dark forest.
"After entering the forest, shrink the formation, pay attention to the people around you, and don't fall behind!"
Before entering the forest, Holt stopped, turned back and reminded in a deep voice.
Colin walked behind him, with Katherine and other team members beside him.
After Holt reminded him, he used the light spell to summon a ball of light suspended in front of him, and then took the lead into the forest.
Colin is close behind.
As soon as he stepped into the dark forest, he clearly felt completely different from the outside world... The dark forest was extraordinarily quiet, with an inexplicable gloomy feeling.
With the soft white light of the light ball, Colin looked around.
There are trees of all shapes and sizes growing around them, some with intertwined roots, crooked, and some with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, tall and straight... But they all have one thing in common—
That is the bark and leaves that are as deep as black.
This color makes them look like pure black shadows, and after watching for a long time, there will even be an illusion of twisting and swaying.
Hall unhurriedly led the crowd forward firmly, fine-tuning the direction from time to time.
Along the way, Colin also saw many traces of the activities of the black-bristled giant pig. The group also encountered some snakes and insects, but they were all solved in advance by Holt or Mallory.
After a while, Holt's footsteps suddenly accelerated, and he didn't adjust his direction again, moving straight and fast in a fixed direction.
‘It should be the black-bristle giant boar that returned to the lair and stopped moving. ' Colin speculated.
Fast forward for a while, and everyone came to a mountain col. In front of them, there was a huge dark cave.
"stop."
Holt waved his hand back with a cautious look on his face.
It is obviously not a wise choice to rush into the cave.
He thought for a while and called Mallory.
"I have a way to find out what's going on inside the cave, but maybe I need your help."
Mallory nodded, signaling him to continue.
Holt took out a handful of rice-sized seeds from his bosom and said:
"This is the seed of the moon grass. After it grows, it can roughly perceive the life strength of the creatures around it. I need your help to blow it evenly into the cave."
"No problem." Mallory nodded.
He stretched out his hand to take the brown seeds and threw them into the air, and those brown seeds were lifted up by a soft wind and quietly flew into the cave.
Soon after, Mallory nodded;
"Okay."
Holt nodded slightly and began to perform the surgery.
in the cave.
The seeds of the pueraria that were scattered on the ground at intervals germinated quietly, the fragile seed coat was gradually torn apart, and the germ probe was quickly growing into a 10-centimeter pueraria, with the fine fluff on it swaying in the wind. .
Holt outside the cave closed his eyes and felt it carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes with a smile on his face, and said lightly:
"Let's go, there are only a few dozen ordinary beasts inside, and they should all be giant black-maned pigs."
"This should be their lair."
