Chapter 185: Demonic Beasts on the Rock Wall

"What kind of monster the hell is it? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Finding that Lina's eyes were a little weird towards her, Freya felt a little inexplicable, sat up with difficulty and asked, "And you always watch what I do, it can't be a spider, hahahaha." ”

"Nothing, nothing. Lina shook her head with a dry smile and said: "It's just a few little monsters, don't worry, let's hurry up and recover our strength, and then set off quickly, it's very dangerous to camp on the edge of this kind of cliff where there is no way out." ”

"It's so mysterious. Freya complained a few words of dissatisfaction, although Her Royal Highness the Princess's curiosity was not as strong as Lina's, but at this time she was also completely teased, and she staggered towards the edge of the cliff, muttering: "You guys are too much, I don't know that the more you make such a look, the more I can't help but want to see it?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't have seen it. Pannis sat by the fire and pulled out a dozen pieces of freshly cut meat, which had been washed with clean water, and the bright red surface was covered with thin white lines, which were the marks left by the thin layer of fat. As soon as the meat strips were put on the metal mesh, there was a faint aroma wafting out, and it could be seen that the meat strips changed color much faster than ordinary meat, and the fat seeped out just as quickly. Pannis turned each head of flesh over with almost invisible speed, and then looked up and said to Freya, who was walking towards the edge of the cliff, "Curiosity is a formidable enemy for adventurers, and sometimes it can leave you with boundless regret. ”

"Uh...... Really?" Freya's pace slowed down and finally stopped, and Her Royal Highness remembered that Pannis had said the same thing not long ago, and that time Lina didn't listen, and the price was nausea for more than an hour, and this time I am afraid it will be the same result. After bowing her head and hesitating for a moment, Freya simply turned around and left, sat back by the campfire, stared at the rattling strips of meat, inhaled hard and said: "When I smell this smell, I immediately feel that my stomach is already hungry and painful, and I can't wait for lunch." ”

"You are only allowed to eat one piece of meat, but the wild fruits and vegetables collected yesterday afternoon will allow you to eat a little more. Even though Catherine sat down on the ground, she still refused to let Freya go, and said seriously: "Don't think I don't know, you secretly ate Eva's leftover food last night this morning, I just thought that the consumption would be very large today, so I didn't say it." ”

"Big sister, you're too cruel. Freya said complainingly: "Although we have just been chased by Lin Xi, you can't treat me as Lin Xi, I can't stand letting me eat grass every day." ”

"That's wild vegetables, not grass. Catherine couldn't help laughing when she said this, and shook her head helplessly: "Okay, two pieces at most, absolutely no more." ”

"Hehe, I know that the eldest sister is the best. Freya's grievances disappeared immediately, and her face, which had gradually revealed its original shape, was full of smiles, and she urged excitedly: "Pannis, you heard it, the eldest sister agreed, hurry up, I can't wait." Hey, by the way, what kind of meat is this, it looks fresh, but I haven't seen you hunting. ”

"The meat on the back of the arrow rat. Pannis explained, "Catherine was dragging the dart rat after she broke off, and while I was waiting for her, I found a few corpses with their heads crushed but intact, and gathered the food for the day. Don't underestimate the meat of the arrow rat, the biggest feature of this meat is that it is tender, and when you put it in your mouth, it will feel like it melts in your mouth, and you will know it when you eat it for a while. ”

The back meat of the arrow rat is indeed very tender, a little heating the surface becomes attractive golden yellow, not only the meat is tender, and the fat in the meat is easy to seep out, put it on the fire for less than two minutes, the surface of the golden rat meat oozes out large drops of bright and crystalline oil, transparent grease drops along the metal mesh drop by drop into the flame, every drop drops, will make the flame rise, **** At the bottom of the metal mesh, the grease evaporated by the flames exuded a rich meaty aroma, so that the surrounding expedition members couldn't help but turn their attention to Pannis.

"Arrow rat meat is rarely eaten, but it's actually very tasty and very simple to cook. Pannis's movements of his hands were so fast that he barely stopped, turning all the strips of meat over every few seconds, keeping them heated for a very short time, although he said it was simple, but just looking at this speed, it was not a job that ordinary people could accomplish: "Arrowcock meat must be roasted if it wants to be delicious, and no seasoning should be put except for a little salt, any seasoning is superfluous, it will only destroy the tender taste of rat meat and cover up its own fragrance." The fat of the rat meat roasted in this way has already ooped out, and it is not greasy at all, and it is crispy when you bite into it, as if you have bitten into a crispy bone, but when you chew it in your mouth, every muscle can be easily bitten off, and that feeling is simply indescribable. ”

"Whoa, whoa. Even the little fox jumping around on Vivien's chest, who was slumping to the ground, was attracted by the smell of meat, and quietly slipped to the fire, restrained her natural fear of flames, and squatted on Freya's shoulder, staring at the increasingly tempting strips of arrowcock meat.

"Yikes. Catherine's exclamation startled a group of demigods and legends who were gathered around the fire and watched the food, and when she turned her head to look, she found that the cautious knight girl was still not very worried about the monsters below, and while everyone else was resting, the girl ran to the cliff and looked down, but as soon as she poked her head out, she let out a short exclamation.

"These, these monsters. Catherine covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and she stammered as she pointed to the bottom of the cliff, "I, this is the first time I've seen a flying spider." ”

Freya guessed right, the cliffs dwelled with spiders, and swarms of large spiders. Each of these spiders has the size of a dinner plate, the body is brown, very similar to the color of the rocks on the cliffs, when crawling on the rocks, it is as smooth as walking on flat ground, their eight legs are thin and long, each of them is more than a meter, long enough legs bring amazing bounce power, when you use all your strength, you can pop horizontally for a distance of more than ten meters before you start to fall. If you look closely, you can see that between the back three legs on each side, there is a transparent membrane full of wrinkles, and when they usually crawl, the folds do not interfere too much with their normal movements, and once they bounce outward from the rock wall, the six legs open horizontally, and the membrane is all extended, and they can use the force of the wind to glide in the air for a short distance and return to the rock wall.

"They, they don't just fly. Catherine was surprised and said, "And you actually make a living by catching birds?"

"Yes, their name is birdcatcher. Without raising his head, Pannis replied, "Of course I make a living by catching birds." However, if other animals are willing to cook dinner for them, they don't mind changing the recipe. ”

This is an unnamed cliff in the middle of the forest, with a large number of trees growing at the upper and lower ends of the cliff, and naturally a large number of birds inhabit it. A few hundred meters of cliffs represent an insurmountable obstacle for terrestrial life, but they mean nothing to birds, who fly by every day, some on the rocks that protrude from the cliffs.

Birdcatchers, on the other hand, live in caves on the cliffs and feed on passing birds every day. Each birdcatcher is a good hunter with a lot of patience, and their ability to spin silk and weave webs has disappeared, but they still have a strong hunting ability. Every afternoon after crawling out of the nest, they will lie motionless on the cliff, and this state can last for an afternoon and a night, and the similar color makes them look like a real rock, and it is difficult to tell which is a rock and which is a birdcatcher while they remain still.

Whenever a flock of birds approaches their hunting range, the bird-catching spiders will pounce from their hiding positions at lightning speed, and the birds that fly by often do not react to what is happening, but the first two legs of the bird-catching spiders are tightly hugged in their arms, and the two highly venomous fangs in their mouths immediately pierce deep into the body of the prey, disintegrating the prey's ability to resist in an instant. At the same time, they spread their gliding feet on both sides and return to the rock wall with their prey in their arms, burrowing into their nests for a delicious dinner.

It doesn't matter if you can't hunt birds during the day, it's a jungle after all, and at night, there will be a large number of small climbing creatures climbing up and down the cliffs, and they will naturally become the target of bird-hunting spiders who don't wait for their prey during the day.

Although the legs are long, almost longer than an adult's height when fully unfolded, they are not large, and due to the presence of the gliding membrane on their legs, their movement on flat ground is also severely limited, so they will hardly attack large creatures on the upper and lower sides of the cliff, but if they are spotted climbing on the cliff, in order to defend their territory, all birdcatchers will rush out of their nests and kill their enemies with all their might, unless there is a direct sunlight that they hate the most. In other words, if they had arrived at the bottom of the cliff a few minutes late, the bird-catching spiders who had already recovered their vitality would never have easily let the expedition through their territory.

Catherine was amazed, and it was precisely because of the graceful popping out of a birdcatcher spider in front of her eyes, embracing a lark deeply, and circling in the air that she fell back on the rock wall. Not only it, but there were constantly bird-catching spiders jumping out and gliding in the air, and for a while, the sky was full of flying spiders. (To be continued.) )
