Chapter 490, Ice and Fire Moose (Reward Plus Chapter 6)
When expanding the camp, Ning Yuan scattered a large number of ape warriors and asked them to reconnoiter the situation nearby.
If you want to say which race is most suitable for this Ice and Fire Island to survive here, I'm afraid it will not be the turn of the Fire Phoenix Clan, nor the turn of the Ice Phoenix Clan, but the Ape Race who can naturally climb trees.
The entire Isle of Ice and Fire is full of dense cold iron forests, and it is simply a paradise for the ape-people.
Ape warriors rarely need to go down to the ground on the island, and they can easily walk on trees.
Taking advantage of the advantage of walking in the trees, the ape-man warriors quickly figured out what was going on around them.
There are many large and small Fire Phoenix tribes around the Fire Tribe, these Fire Phoenix tribes are all located in the dense cold iron forest, if you don't go into the woods, you don't know that there is something else in the woods.
It turned out that the reason why the Fire Phoenix Clan settled in this way was entirely to avoid the harassment of the Ice Phoenix Clan.
Because in a head-to-head duel, they rarely take advantage, and it is always them who are defeated every time, so in order to avoid the attack of the Ice Phoenix Clan, they take advantage of the weakness of the Ice Phoenix Clan's inability to cut wood, and play a game of hide and hide with the other party in the dense cold iron forest.
They would choose some dense cold iron forests and cut a clearing in them to settle in, so that it would be difficult for the Ice Phoenix people to find them.
In addition to the hidden Fire Phoenix tribe, the ape-man warriors also found a number of special animals in the woods, among which a large cervid creature was particularly eye-catching.
This deer resembles the moose of the Far East, with flat, cacti-shaped antlers, a body length of between two and two meters, and a shoulder height of more than two meters, and the tallest can reach two and a half meters.
This deer is extremely aggressive, and after spotting the ape-man warriors peeking at them from the trees, they actually use their antlers to hit the cold iron tree.
The Cold Iron Tree was buzzed and trembled by the impact of these tall giant deer, and the Iron Wood Fruit on the tree was shaken to the ground.
Luckily, the antlers couldn't damage the trunk of the Cold Iron Tree, otherwise the grumpy creature would have destroyed an entire forest alive.
Moose are tall and long-legged, making them ideal for walking in the snow, and there are moose cavalry in Siberia and North America.
Ning Yuan had also thought about forming a moose cavalry, but the moose in the Far East were basically about to be killed by the orcs of the Altai Empire, so Ning Yuan could only think about it.
After learning that there were also huge moose on Ice and Fire Island, Ning Yuan immediately ignited the hope of forming a moose cavalry regiment, so he immediately gathered all the old people of the Scorching Fire Tribe.
After some detailed inquiry, Ning Yuan finally knew the detailed information of this moose.
The staple food of this moose is ironwood, probably because of the long-term consumption of ironwood, they are not afraid of fire or ice, like the cold ironwood, so people call it ice-fire moose.
The Fire and Ice Moose are the largest creatures on the island, with adult males weighing up to a ton, and they are very hot-tempered and will attack any creature that comes close to them.
Ice and fire moose only have horns on the head of the stag, and adult males are solitary, because they have no natural predators, so they will run around, and they can be found everywhere on the entire ice and fire island.
Females are herd, and they live with their fawns away from the crowd.
Ice and fire moose have a very sensitive sense of smell, and they are extremely retaliatory. If they find someone hunting doe and fawn, they let out a low roar, summon all the stag in the vicinity, and then take revenge on the perpetrators.
Although the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix people on the island also have Ice and Fire Moose in their recipes, they generally only hunt lone male deer, and do not move female deer and fawn, because there have been tragic incidents of being slaughtered by male deer in the past.
And hunting stags, only those most experienced hunters dare to hunt, because if you are not careful, you will be killed by the stag, and you will be hit by the giant horns on their heads, and you can basically go to the king of Hades to report.
Therefore, when there is no shortage of food, people would rather eat ironwood nuts than provoke the dangerous big guys.
In short, this ice and fire moose is a tyrant on the island of ice and fire, and no one should approach it wherever it goes.
After learning that Ning Yuan wanted to fight the Ice and Fire Moose, the old people of the Scorching Fire Tribe advised Ning Yuan to think twice and not to invite unwarranted disasters for the tribe.
For the exhortation of the old people, Ning Yuan did not take it seriously.
In his opinion, as a modern person, especially a Chinese person, no matter how good a creature is, as long as they put it into the recipe, they can basically eat it as an endangered protected animal.
No matter how fierce the ice and fire moose are, can they still be as fierce as an armed army?
As long as they are not invulnerable, Ning Yuan is sure that they will be slaughtered to regional extinction.
Of course, he only wanted to tame them into mounts this time, so he wasn't going to kill them all.
Ning Yuan thought of everything this time, but he didn't expect that there would be ice and fire moose here, so he immediately sent someone back to Condor City to transfer a druid beast tamer.
Ning Yuan's idea was that if the druids could tame the adult ice and fire moose, then he would transfer a large number of druids and let them domesticate all the moose on the island.
If the druid is unable to tame the adult Ice and Fire moose, he will have a plan to slaughter some of the adult males, and then establish a moose domestication base on the island to domesticate the captured young deer.
If you can't tame even a young deer, then I'm sorry, this creature is not suitable to continue living on this island.
Ning Yuan would massacre them on a large scale, and then enclose an area on the island as a protected area, and keep them in captivity for future hunting and fun.
But before that, he had to taste the ice and fire moose.
When the army arrived, he would immediately expand outward to conquer the other tribes of the island, and he could not allow such a grumpy creature to suddenly come out of the woods and cause trouble for himself.
So next, the elven rangers teamed up with the ape warriors to carry out a massacre of the ice and fire moose in the nearby woods.
With the efficient hunting of the elven rangers, a large number of ice and fire moose carcasses were transported back to the camp.
Not to mention, the old people did not deceive Ning Yuan, after the elven rangers hunted a group of female deer, a large group of male deer rushed over after hearing the low roar and took revenge on them.
It's just that in the face of the rain of arrows from the elven rangers, they were quickly slaughtered and failed to stir up a little wave.
That night, Ning Yuan ate the fragrant stewed moose meat with ironwood nuts.
How to say it, it tastes so good, Ning Yuan's tongue is about to melt after eating.
After eating and drinking, Ning Yuan and the 20,000 soldiers of the Condor Army spent a whole night, and then the next day Ning Yuan directly announced that no one was allowed to eat the meat of the Ice and Fire Moose until the entire Ice and Fire Island was captured.
