[A new volume, please subscribe, monthly ticket support! For the tribe, for the alliance! 】
The northern part of Azeroth, the frozen plateau, is still covered by ice and snow even when most of the continent is in a hot period. ≧1≧≥Novel≦≦The thin air seems to be frozen, and the high pressure forces countless creatures to be unable to survive here, except for the bravest warriors and the most ferocious monsters.
Snow deer are the most common low-level monsters on this frozen plateau. Although they often come and go in groups, compared to other more powerful monsters, such as snow wolves and white bears, Even ice dragons, their strength is so weak that it is not worth mentioning, and because of their delicious meat and gorgeous fur, the humans and snow demons living here often regard them as hunting targets.
At this moment, in a snow valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, because of the special terrain here, even though the trees in the valley have been covered by thick snow, and their outlines are almost unrecognizable, but the trees on three sides After all, the high mountains still somewhat blocked some wind and snow, making the temperature in the valley much warmer than the outside world.
In the woods, dozens of strong people have been lying in ambush here for a long time. The snowy jungle is rare, and it is a rare food for herbivorous monsters. In addition, they have been here before. A large number of snow deer were found. Therefore, as experienced hunters, they are very confident and can definitely gain something here.
"Ah Choo!" A young man seemed to be out hunting for the first time, so he seemed a little nervous. He couldn't stop cursing: "Damn it, why is the weather so cold this year? But the taxes that Stormwind City has to pay are twice as high as in previous years. Cain, you say this is making people alive!"
"I said Gail, don't complain, you should be glad that Stormwind City just let us pay double the tax, instead of letting us hand over all the gains." Beside the young guy, a thirty-something year old The adult man couldn't help but persuade: "I heard that many places on the mainland have been attacked. Stormwind City is currently expanding its army, so taxes will naturally increase compared to previous years."
"Double, not some." Gail was still full of resentment: "If they hadn't insisted on increasing taxes, I would still be sleeping at home now! Instead of hiding in the snowdrifts and waiting to be caught Snow deer, Ah Xie, I'm about to freeze to death in this **** weather."
"Keep your voice down!" Kain quickly reminded: "I seem to smell snow deer. Although they are only low-level monsters, their speed is faster than mid-level monsters. Once they are alarmed, do you think we can kill them? Can their two legs outrun their four?"
"I see." Not daring to complain any more, Gail quickly lowered his head, even hiding his breath in an instant. It is really not an easy task to hunt those clever and cunning snowfield monsters.
Sure enough, Kain is worthy of being an experienced hunter. Not long after his words fell, a large number of snow deer gathered in groups, like a white torrent, slowly entering the valley. , There are thousands of snow deer in this batch, but their formation is not chaotic and crowded.
Gail's eyes were full of unspeakable excitement. He turned his head to look at Kain beside him and wanted to say something, but Kain stopped him with the most stern gaze. However, it was obvious that there was also some unconcealable joy in Kayin's stern gaze.
The number of this batch of snow deer is much more than he expected. As long as they enter the trap, not only can the tax of Stormwind City be solved, but also a large amount of snow deer meat can be supplied. They enjoyed it and passed the coming severe winter smoothly.
The climate on the frozen plateau is already very cold. In winter, the severe cold is even more difficult to resist. Before winter comes, stock up on enough food to consume throughout the winter.
On the plateau, there is a piece of ice, and there is no way to grow any crops. Therefore, they can only rely on hunting to maintain their livelihood. Snow deer is their main source of food. Not only can they be eaten, but they can also be used. Exchange some necessary daily necessities with the towns and villages outside.
Finally, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eager eyes, this huge herd of snow deer slowly entered the valley, and they consciously maintained the formation that is most beneficial to them:
The strongest snow deer stay at the mouth of the valley. This way, the weaker snow deer can be protected from the wind, and the weaker snow deer can rush out of the valley in time when they encounter danger. When fleeing in distress, they are likely to fall down in a hurry, causing confusion and delaying the escape time of other snow deer. In contrast, the stronger snow deer, the chance of accidents is obviously less.
The little snow deer consciously surround their mother, who will teach them how to use magic and front hooves to break through the wind and snow on the ground and eat the vegetation hidden underneath.
Guarding and growing, it is precisely because of the unity of the snow deer herd that they can survive and multiply in the harsh environment of the frozen plateau. Compared to humans, they are the true masters of this frozen plateau, although they have always been at the bottom of the food chain.
The area of the valley is very large, so even if thousands of snow deer flooded in at once, it would not be crowded at all. Seeing the snow deer leaving the ground leisurely and looking for grass and trees to eat, the hunters lurking in the dark couldn't help being very jealous, but they all knew that it was not time to make a move.
Every hunter knows how to be patient, so even when faced with the lure of snow deer all over the valley, no one made any movement. They were waiting, waiting for the best time to come.
The so-called best time is the trap they have set in the valley before, and there is a large amount of magic potion stored in the trap. This magic potion is called rosemary, which can invade every root in the snow In the depths of the grass, as long as the snow deer eat enough, they will be eroded by rosemary and their legs will become weak. At that time, they can easily harvest this large number of snow deer.
The wait is always so long, as if a full century has passed, the snow deer herd finally finished their eating, and at the same time, they were also eroded by the medicinal power of rosemary, they felt very tired, and then started three or five A group of people hid in places with less wind and snow to rest.
The wind and snow have already covered up all the traces made by the snow deer. From a distance, they look like piles of snowballs, as if merging with the outside world. This is their natural camouflage, but , for the hunters, this is just the most ridiculous little trick.
"It's time!" Kain suddenly said in a low voice, and just as his words fell, there were two cries of a griffin, one high and one low, at the mouth of the valley.
This is a signal of an impending attack! Gail looked into Caine's eyes with a trace of admiration, and immediately subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand.
Although rosemary is a magic potion, its medicinal power is limited after all, and it can only deal with those weaker snow deer. If they want to harvest this batch of snow deer, they must defeat those strong snow deer that are not corroded by the medicinal power. Even though the snow deer are only the lowest level of monsters, they are still monsters after all, with magical power that cannot be ignored, and their strength should not be underestimated.
"Ready...to attack!" Kain suddenly stood up, and almost at the same time, all the hunters who were ambushing in the valley stood up. However, just as they When preparing to attack, suddenly, there was a slight vibration above the ground.
The ground was shaking, from the slightest to the most violent, and even people could not stand still, not to mention the snow deer that were inhabiting, one by one, they were awakened one by one.
"Not good!" Seeing that the Snow Deer herd was about to flee, Ka Yin and the others rushed forward.
The snow deer rushed to the Taniguchi, and the hunters rushed to the snow deer herd. A sudden change broke the original destiny. Under the horrified eyes of the hunters and the snow deer, they saw that on the ground of the Taniguchi, Suddenly, a huge beam of light rose up and crashed into the thick clouds in the sky. In an instant, the wind dissipated ~IndoMTL.com~ The sky was stunned by the wind and snow!
As the huge light beam soared into the sky, the vibrations on the ground began to intensify rapidly. The snow on the vegetation in the valley kept falling, and the panicked deer had already completely lost in front of such a vision. In order to calm down, the crowd screamed frantically, and the scene was chaotic.
Kain and the others subconsciously stopped their steps, because at this moment, they also clearly felt a terrible breath permeating the air, and the unexpected changes made dozens of people present In addition to being horrified, everyone's faces were full of wry smiles.
The constantly swaying huge beam of light caused a shocking change in the sky, and in the middle of the beam, the ground began to slowly crack. The disintegrated cloud layer spread towards the higher part of the sky, where there was a thundercloud shining with infinite lightning.
"Roar!"
Like a terrifying giant beast from ancient times, a red giant dragon and a flaming unicorn, along the soaring beams of light, soared up to the sky. , whether it is a snow deer or a hunter, they all feel that their breathing is stagnant, their legs and feet go limp, and they all kneel on the ground...
