Lord Highlander

   Chapter 229 228. Lizard Hunter 2

The two villagers standing under the stone pile reacted almost at the same time, holding the special rod for trapping animals, and quickly chased the gray shadow, but the gray shadow moved very quickly. Drilled directly towards another rock crack.

  The pole in the hands of the villagers didn't even touch the gray rock iguana's body, and the gray rock iguana escaped.

Several villagers quickly surrounded the stone pile, and inserted the sets of poles in their hands into the surroundings of the stone pile. Four catchers surrounded the stone pile, preparing for the moment when the gray rock iguana jumped out of the stone pile. Lasso the iguana.

After the stalagmites here collapse, they will leave a pile of stones like ruins in place. These large and small stones are piled up together. The small ones are only as big as a fist, but the big stones are bigger than the millstone. , It is not easy to turn over stones on the pile of stones.

All the villagers surrounded the stone pile and began to quickly turn over the stones. It didn't take long for the gray rock iguana to be turned out from under a stone slab by the villagers. The gray rock iguana slipped from between the legs of a villager. 'Drilled out all at once, but was caught by the catcher waiting at the outermost edge.

  The rope on the pole tightly strangled the iguana's neck, and the iguana struggled **** the pole.

   It's just that the more the gray rock iguana struggles, the tighter the rope is.

The gray rock iguana couldn't catch the rope with its sharp claws, so it hung on the rope and pretended to be dead. This was the first gray rock iguana hunted by the Wall Village lizard hunting group after they came out of the village. At this time, Sur Only then can Dake see the whole picture of the gray rock iguana. This gray rock iguana looks inconspicuous, only about two feet long, with gray skin, pointed head and short tail, and thick limbs. It is believed that it actually lives in the cracks of the rock all year round.

  The villagers put the gray rock iguana in an iron cage, and found an iron plate to press on the iron cage to block the sunlight, and then rushed to another stone pile.

Turning over stones is a very strenuous physical activity, and these gray rock iguanas are timid by nature. After they are turned out of the rock crevices by the villagers, they will only find the nearest rock crevices to drill in and hide again, so basically there is no need to hunt them. Weapons such as bows and daggers.

Suldak originally thought that hunting bows would be used when hunting gray rock iguanas, so he bought an alloy bow specially for this purpose. Unexpectedly, after arriving at the hunting point, such weapons would be completely useless. As long as he has the strength of his arms, With a few more quick-eyed catchers, the iguana in the crevice of the rock can be caught.

   After calming down and thinking about it seriously, Suldak felt that he had made the problem a bit complicated.

  It should be like this, the villagers of Wall Village in front of them, what hunting methods do they have...

It was also Suldak who also jumped off his horse, rolled up his sleeves and turned over stones with the villagers. Suldak's strength was much stronger than that of the villagers, and he could also turn over some large rocks. There are such stones everywhere around the broken stone forest. In the stone pile left after the stone forest was broken, some gray rock iguanas hidden under the stone pile will always be captured by the villagers.

These hunting lizards were put into cages and kept busy near the stone pile until the sun was about to set. The old village head took everyone to build a fire and cook under a stone wall sheltered from the wind. Surdak sat on a limestone, constantly Swinging his sore arms, the calluses on the palms of his hands were worn away.

Charlie, the son of the old village chief, helped Suerdak bring dinner, smiled at him honestly, and asked, "Are you feeling tired? You must have never turned over rocks before. You have to get used to this kind of work slowly, and you must not Too little, if you use too much force, your arm may swell up tomorrow, rubbing and pressing in this way can relieve the fatigue of your arm."

  Charley did not press his arm to Surdak, but used his own arm as a demonstration.

Surdak took the paste-like dinner and said to Charlie with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, I didn't expect this hunting method to be much simpler than I imagined. An alloy bow, unfortunately, it is useless for the time being..."

"Only in the Broken Stone Forest can you catch gray rock iguanas in this way. Other hunting places are much simpler. Unfortunately, there are much fewer iguanas this year than in previous years. There are no traces of iguanas in those hunting places..." Charlie He said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the alloy bow on Suldak's back, he couldn't help swallowing, and asked Suldak: "Dark, can you show me your alloy bow, When I went to Helensa City last time, I saw it in a weapon shop, and the nasty shopkeeper thought I couldn’t afford it, so he didn’t even let me see it.”

  Suldak took the alloy bow off his back and handed it to Charlie.

  Charlie held the alloy bow in his hand, and stretched out his hand to pull the bowstring. Suldak was worried that he might hurt his hand, so he specially gave him the fingertip.

  Charlie excitedly drew the alloy bow to the full string, and said enviously: "It turns out that the bow limbs are embedded in the bow handle like this. I will go to the blacksmith to make a pair of bow limbs in the future..."

An old hunter beside him smiled, patted Charlie on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't think about it, the blacksmith shop in Hailansa city can't make this kind of bow piece, you should be honest and practical." Hunt the bow!"

  The old village chief walked around among the villagers and told them to move their arms before going to sleep.

   Then he sat down against the stone wall, his old face full of helplessness, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that there were no iguanas found in several hunting grounds, who would want to turn over rocks in the collapsed rock forest..."

  The villagers turned over stones at the edge of the collapsed stone forest for nearly two days.

  In the afternoon, even Suldak felt a bit overwhelmed, and the edge of the stone forest had been searched all over. If he wanted to continue to turn over stones, he had to enter the dangerous stone forest, so the old village chief called to stop.

  The harvest in the stone forest this time was not bad, and a total of 17 gray rock iguanas were hunted.

In the evening, the villagers who went out to check the surrounding situation finally came back. Two villagers who went out to check the gray rock iguana brought back good news. In the direction of the 'pustules' crater, they found traces of the gray rock iguana. Which The condition of the hunting ground is much better than that of the stone forest. If you don't want to turn over the rocks, you can go there.

  The old village head decided that night to leave Stone Forest early the next morning.

After nightfall, after the villagers all fell asleep, Suldak quietly crawled out of the sleeping bag, and quietly used the power of the holy light to heal the villagers with red and swollen arms, watching the painful expressions on their faces in the dream Stretching slowly, Surdak breathed a sigh of relief.

  The next morning, the old village chief asked four villagers to carry two iron cages filled with gray rock iguanas to leave, and returned to Wall Village along the shortcut, while the rest of the villagers continued to head towards the 'Pump' volcano.

Many villagers got up from the blankets and found that their arms had recovered. They were all very surprised. Everyone talked a lot, and they didn't know what happened for a while. The soreness and pain all over the body disappeared inexplicably. up.

  The lizard hunter group continued to march deep into the Pagros Mountains. In the barren land, they also encountered a pack of dozens of sand wolves.

  When they saw humans, they first approached quickly, and after they smelled a hint of danger, they ran into the wilderness without hesitation, refusing to even look back.

The villagers of Wall Village here are also scared to death by this group of sand wolves. I heard that many lizard hunting groups were eaten by wolves after entering the Pagros Mountains. I was thinking about how to deal with the pack of sand wolves, but I didn't expect them to slip away with their tails between their legs, and they ran fast, disappearing into the mountainside in a blink of an eye.
