Chapter 215: Pterodactyl Forest

The people rested in place for the night, and the next morning they continued their march north. After walking for a few hours, the elven hunter Colon issued a warning to everyone: "Be careful, everyone, from here on, it is the range of pterosaur activities." According to the intelligence, there should be a pterodactyl breeding cave nearby, and we can get a large bounty just by destroying it. ”

As soon as Apodell heard the bounty, his eyes began to glow. He grabbed Colon by the shoulder and asked, "How much is a large penny?" Last time we were at the Losanda Temple, we received 5,000 gold coins in one go. ”

The elven hunter raised an eyebrow, then whistled. "It's a good deal. But mine is not bad, they cost 800 gold coins for each pterodactyl's head. In addition, if the pterodactyls here are completely cleaned up, you can get an extra 2,000 gold coins. ”

Ammon's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Wow! Apodell: It looks like we're going to make a fortune. Do the math of how much gold you have, and wait until you get to Baldur's Gate to make a spree. ”

"You'll have to ask Henry about this. I gave him all my money for safekeeping. Although it is pleasant to listen to the sound of gold coins shaking, it is also tiring to carry so much on your body. With that, Apodell spread his hands.

Henry opened the dimensional bag and took a general look, from the adventure to the present, after deducting various expenses, there are more than 60,000 gold coins. Most of the money here is obtained in the bandit camp, and half of it needs to be donated to the temple that tends to be good. After counting, he touched Ammon's hair and replied with a smile: "We have a total of more than 60,000 gold coins. However, about 25,000 of them need to be donated to the temple, and the remaining 38,000 or so can be used at will. ”

"Great!" Ammon screamed and jumped. "On average, each of us can get five thousand gold coins. Oh, my God! I never imagined that I would be so rich one day. ”

Dinah Black was amused by the girl's innocent and cute appearance. She smiled and asked, "So what are you going to do with the money?" You must know that so much money is enough for a person to use for a lifetime. ”

Ammon held up a spell book and shouted, "Do you need to ask?" To learn magic, of course! I've already understood a lot of Tanishin's spells, and in two weeks you'll be able to call me Mage Aemon! ”

Apodell smiled and shook his head. He patted Minsk on the shoulder and asked, "What are you going to do with this money?" Change to a set of armor made of stainless steel. Or buy a magic longbow? ”

The ranger touched the hamster lying on his shoulder. Da Lu replied with a smile: "Ha Lu Ha! Do you still need to ask? Building a big house with food, of course. So that Minsk will be able to live happily with Bubu in it. ”

Apodell covered his face in pain when he heard this. He knew he had done something stupid. Minsk's way of thinking is noticeably different from that of normal people. He was always asking for the fat hamster's opinion, even when he was fighting. It's hard to imagine how this guy survived so many battles.

Heng looked at the son of Baal with playful eyes, and then pretended to be serious and said to him, "Yes, who doesn't want a house made of food?" Apodell, in particular, I think he's now thinking about turning that proposal into reality. But remember, don't put too much sweets on the roof and walls. Otherwise, it will attract a lot of ants. It only takes a few days for them to eat up the entire house. ”

"Damn! You're a man. Apodell cursed and ran to the front of the line with a red face. He was a little tired of Minsk's expectant gaze. Build a house made of food? There is a limit to joking!

Walking along the forest path, the group soon spotted a pterodactyl hovering in the sky in the distance. Due to the complete absence of natural predators, their numbers have grown very rapidly in recent years. Henry remembers very well that he had killed all the pterosaurs. I didn't expect that with only the remaining dragon eggs, a group could be bred in just ten years.

Colon observed for a moment, then pointed to the largest of them and said, "That guy is the leader of this group of pterosaurs, and he should be hunting with the clan." We need someone as bait to lure them out of the sky. ”

"You must be kidding! These guys can fly a lot faster than they can run. Even on horseback, they can be caught up in a matter of minutes, and the stinger on their tail can kill people at the slightest moment. Ammon immediately shook his head and rejected the proposal. She had seen an introduction to pterosaurs at Candlecastle. Even the most agile thief can't outrun these flying monsters.

Crown smiled and pulled out a white bottle of potion from his backpack. "Don't worry, I'm ready not to come. Speed Potion. As long as you drink this, you can run faster than a pterosaur in a short time. You are ambushing here, and I am going to draw their attention. Remember, kill the largest one first, and if it dies, the other pterosaurs will lose command. With that, he took off his leather armor and all his weapons in order to run faster.

The elven hunter, dressed in his straitjacket, ran to the open field in front of him and began to scream loudly. Soon, the pterodactyl in the distance spotted this tasty-looking prey. With a roar from the leader, seven sturdy adult pterosaurs began to swoop down from the sky. Without hesitation, Crown drank the speed potion in one gulp, and after the flash of white magic, he began to run back desperately.

Henry had already laid a few "flame traps" and "skeleton traps" in the path he had to pass, just waiting for the beasts to rush over and send them to death. The pterodactyl swooped very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up behind the elven hunter's ass. They danced the stingers on their tails, poking forward from time to time.

Colon dodged the stinger left and right as he ran forward desperately. He felt like his heart was about to explode at any moment, and his legs were cramping. Just as he was running into the woods, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Climb down!" He immediately threw himself on the ground as he was told.

I saw a red light flash in front of me, and a large number of flames rose into the sky, accompanied by a violent energy explosion. A few pterosaurs that didn't stop because of inertia exploded into pieces of black, charred flesh in an instant. Henry took the opportunity to perform the "spider web technique" on the pterosaur that stayed at a low altitude. Sticky cobwebs wrapped around their wings, and they all fell from the sky and fell to pieces.

Apodell and Minsk, who had been lying in ambush behind the trees, rushed up for hand-to-hand combat, while Ammon and Dinahei hid far behind, attacking with bows and arrows and magic. Henry continued to chant the incantation, and soon a "chain of lightning" was unleashed. White lightning leaped between the few remaining pterosaurs, convulsing their bodies. The two warriors took advantage of the opportunity to cut off the heads of the pterodactyls.

The battle took less than five minutes from start to finish. Under Henry's command, Colon and Minsk began to skin them, while Apodell and Ammon searched for the blown pterodactyl head. It took them more than two hours to get everything done. The skin of the pterosaur was simply cleaned up, and it was stuffed into the dimensional bag by Henry along with the dragon's head.

After putting on his armor again, Colon asked, "Shall we go ahead and sweep the pterodactyl lair?" Maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries inside. ”

Henry nodded. "No problem. I just wanted to try to domesticate some pterosaurs, and it would be nice if I had dragon eggs. He found that although these pterosaurs were a little less intelligent, they had good fighting and reproduction abilities. The most important thing is that they are basically not picky eaters, as long as they are meat, they can be fed. If you can train a batch, whether it is patrolling the skies over the city or following the airship escort, it is very good.

"Domesticate pterosaurs?! Oh, my God! Do you know how much meat these guys eat a day? At least a tenth of their body weight! Although the combat effectiveness is indeed not bad, it costs a lot of money just to buy meat. Colon shook his head. He felt that Henry was a little too whimsical.

Henry smiled and didn't explain. The city of Bluvent is a temperate zone, and only a few fishing boats need to be sent out every day to feed these guys. Everyone rested for more than ten minutes, and then continued to walk. It didn't take long for them to discover a foul-smelling hole.

Colon crouched down and examined the footprints on the ground and said to the others, "Looks like this is it." However, generally speaking, the nests of pterosaurs are built on cliffs, and it is really rare to find a cave to build a nest like this. ”

Looking at this familiar cave, Henry suddenly remembered that this was not the place where the red-robed mage Lother conducted experiments back then. It must have been the pterosaur that hatched and made this place its lair. He carefully blessed himself with protective magic, and God knows if a few synthetic monsters will pop up in the Dao.

Apodell noticed Henry's cautious expression and asked cautiously, "Man." Is there something wrong here? It's the first time I've seen you bless so many protective spells, so there shouldn't be any terrifying monsters in there, right? ”

Henry shook his head with a wry smile. "I don't know, I just know that this was once a place where evil mages conducted biological experiments. After all these years, it's hard to say what's inside. ”

"Damn, I just know that the extra two thousand gold coins are not easy to get." Colon cursed under his breath. Then he lit a torch and was the first to enter. Henry blessed himself with "dim vision" and followed the others with him.

Having entered the cave, everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them. I saw that the corners of the wall were full of eggs laid by pterosaurs, and there were hundreds of them. More than a dozen female dragons that were incubating their eggs quickly let out a rapid scream when they saw an intruder. After a few seconds, several scaly humanoids with fleshy wings on their backs and covered in scales ran out of the depths of the cavern. (To be continued......)
