Chapter 82 The First Confrontation
Following the scent for more than a kilometer, Gordon and Pig Chop found the body on a hillside.
This was the body of a herbivorous dragon. He waved away the flies buzzing around. Gordon endured the stench and squatted down next to the body to examine it carefully.
The skin of this herbivorous dragon corpse is dark red. Judging from the degree of decomposition, it should have been dead for about two days. The fatal injury was on the back. Some huge force broke its spine and killed it in an instant. Kill.
Leaving the body and coming upwind, Gordon took a few deep breaths of fresh air and said, "It must have been the big strange bird that did it."
Pork Chop nodded his head in agreement.
Because the huge spoon-shaped beak cannot chew large pieces of meat, the herbivorous dragon is not on the diet of the big strange bird, but this does not mean that the surly big strange bird will not take the initiative to attack the herbivorous dragon. .
Gordon could roughly imagine the scene where the herbivorous dragon was attacked.
——The orange-red strange bird fell from the sky. Its claws pressed on the back of the herbivorous dragon, knocking it down to the ground. Immediately afterwards, the huge bird's beak smashed down like a giant hammer, easily breaking the spine of the herbivorous dragon. The latter died before he could even let out a cry.
In addition to the traces of fatal injuries, the relatively complete preservation of the herbivorous dragon's body is also very revealing.
In the wild where food is never enough, the attraction of such a corpse is unquestionable. Gordon believes that within half an hour of the death of the herbivorous dragon, a blue velociraptor came here.
Why didn't they enjoy the meal? The answer is clear, they smelled the scent of a superior predator on the herbivorous dragon.
According to the information provided by the Hunter Guild, there are no traces of other large monsters nearby, so the only thing the Blue Velociraptor is afraid of is the big strange bird.
"Although the big strange bird has a bad temper, it will not bother to run far away from the nest and attack a herbivorous dragon it doesn't like to eat." Gordon analyzed to himself : "That guy's nest should be nearby."
As he said that, he turned to look at Zhupa, who was covering his nose, "Zhupa, have you ever seen a big strange bird when you were in the wild before? Nest? ”
"No meow!" said the pig in a loud voice: "There are no big strange birds coming to meow in the mountain forest where our tribe lives."
"That's right."
"But I remember when I was a kid, The very old grandma in the clan told us that if we see a super big bird's nest in the forest, we should run away quickly, because it is the nest of a big strange bird!"
Ge! Den touched his chin.
Although the story told by Pig Chop somewhat means "the big bad wolf will come to eat the children if they don't sleep after dark", it also contains some useful information.
——Big strange birds will build nests in the forest.
“We will take this place as the center of the circle and head toward the mountains and forests to search in a roundabout way!”
The afternoon sun shines through the canopy of the tall trees and casts beams of light in the forest. The orange-red giant beast looks up. He raised his slender neck and walked among them, his posture was elegant and as beautiful as a painting.
It's a pity that Gordon can't appreciate this kind of beauty.
At this time, he was concentrating his breathing and hiding in the bushes. All he could think about was how to stab that long neck.
The information provided by Pig Chop is very meaningful. The nest of the big strange bird is in a clearing in the forest.
It is a super giant bird's nest made of branches and hay, with a diameter of more than ten meters. Perhaps because of its feeding habits, there is no pungent smell like that of ordinary animal nests, but it looks very clean. .
Gordon really hoped that the big strange bird could lie down in the nest and take a nap when he was tired, so that he could sneak over and store a Sleeping Slash.
But unfortunately, after waiting for several minutes, the big strange bird was just taking a walk, with no sign of returning to its nest to rest. It seems that there is no need to think about Mian Zhan for the time being.
Since you can’t make a sneak attack, let’s go head-to-head! The open space where the big strange bird's nest is located is relatively flat, and there are no dense branches that can catch the sword blade. It is considered a good battlefield!
"Wha~."
Gordon whistled after making the decision.
The big strange bird with excellent hearing stopped immediately, raised its neck high, fully unfolded its ruff-like crown ears, and turned its gaze here.
At the same time, another bush far away from Gordon began to shake violently, and the rustling movement attracted the attention of the big strange bird.
Hiding in the bushes was the pork chop. This was a tactic they had discussed before.
Taking advantage of the big strange bird's attention being temporarily attracted, Gordon rushed out of the hiding place, ran like crazy and quickly approached the big strange bird, with his palm on the hilt of his sword, and the giant scissors hanging behind him were ready to be unsheathed at any time.
The big strange bird’s IQ is not low.
Although the movement caused by the pork chop gave Gordon some time to close the distance, the big strange bird also quickly realized that it was already charging towards it compared to the shaking mysterious bush. The hunter in front of him is the real threat.
It turned towards Gordon, spread its broad wings, opened its huge beak and let out a menacing roar.
"Goooooooooooo!"
For the sake of his future hearing, Gordon had to interrupt the charge, cover his ears tightly, and withstand the roar that could deafen a person's ears.
Although the hunter stopped temporarily, the big strange bird's strategy of trying to scare its opponent was obviously ineffective.
As soon as the sound ended, Gordon continued to sprint without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of the big strange bird. Before he could stand on his hind legs, the hilt of the giant scissors had already fallen into his palm.
Draw your sword and kill!
“哐!”
The shield crab sword covered with red lines collided with the hard giant beak of the big strange bird. The heavy sword body carried the inertia and smashed its head sideways, leaving a mark on the giant beak. A shallow knife mark about a foot long.
"Goooo!" The big strange bird screamed.
Gordon was greatly encouraged by the effectiveness of his first attack. He tensed his arms and turned his sword, using the inertia to prepare for another horizontal slash.
However, the big strange bird did not intend to give him a chance to attack continuously.
As soon as the giant wings flapped, the huge body was pulled back a certain distance, and the aroused wind pressure swept towards the hunter, hindering his movement.
Gordon lowered his body slightly and stabilized his center of gravity.
The disadvantage of the heavy metal armor turned out to be an advantage at this time. The violent airflow flowed away like a river hitting a rock. Although his actions were forced to stop again, he did not lose his balance or simply be caught. Blow away.
After the air flow stopped for a moment, he shouted and rushed towards the big strange bird again.
“Don’t even think about running away!”
The big strange bird was also completely angered by the hunter’s reluctance. It jumped twice on the spot, suddenly turned its body, and swept its long whip-like tail. He swung at Gordon who was stuck to him again like brown sugar.
Faced with this large-scale sweeping attack, Gordon did not choose to resist forcefully, but quickly estimated the speed and relative distance of both sides.
In the end, just before the big strange bird's tail was about to hit his head, he swooped forward and dodged the blow.
It is actually very dangerous to push the dodge time to such an extreme. If you are not careful, it may be self-defeating. The sound of the scales on the tail of the big monster bird scraping against the helmet seems to be clearly audible, but Gordon does not care. .
Because he had used this roll to get close to the big strange bird again.
Using the strength to stand up, Gordon swung his sword again. Go up and chop!
