Chapter 39 Revisiting the Red Earth Village

"What?!" Horn almost stood up from his chair in surprise.

Scholars have divided the challenge levels for extraordinary beasts and monsters, with challenges ranging from 0 to 9, and above 8 are called natural disasters that can move.

There is such a powerful existence deep in the Whispering Forest, and more than one of them will cause great harm to humans every time they appear, just like a natural disaster. Unless the legendary strong man takes action, no matter how many people there are, it is useless.

However, such powerful beings often have large fixed territory, they are not short of food and will not leave their territory easily, so the towns around the Sorrow Forest have room for survival.

But everything is exceptional, and occasionally those terrifying existences will come out to relax and destroy one or two cities that you don’t like.

"Captain Fred! Are you saying that the riots in the Forest of Sorrow are related to those terrifying existences?!"

"It's just very likely that a few days ago, the president of the Baiyan City Mage Trade Union was entrusted by the city lord and entered the forest with several high-level professionals to investigate. He left the forest this morning, and as soon as they came back, the city defense level of Baiyan City was mentioned at the highest."

When Horn heard this, he frowned. The defense measures of Baiyan City's walls, moats, etc. are impeccable, and he also has a magic tower, a war weapon. The general existence is not enough to make the city lord so afraid, so there is a high possibility of natural disasters that will move.

"Don't worry, that existence should just be struggling in the forest, otherwise it would have come out long ago. Let's wait for the decision from the superiors. I don't believe that the superiors will sit and watch Bai Yancheng be affected."

Horn nodded. Baiyan City's geographical location is extremely important, even more important than ordinary provincial administrative centers. The imperial emperor would never sit idly by.

Captain Fred leaned forward and looked at Horn with a smile: "I said, Brother Horn, you adventurers are going out to hunt extraordinary beasts, right?"

"Well, I do have this plan."

"Can we help clean up around the village? We don't have enough manpower. Many villages are facing harassment from extraordinary beasts. Fortunately, they are just losing some domestic animals at the moment..."

"I mean, it's the same from wherever I start. I'll convince Captain Burst," Horn waved his hand: "Then I'll leave first, captain, remember to notify me of any latest news."

"no problem."

Horn returned to the White Jasmine Tavern and told everyone about the news they found.

"So the Empire may take action soon?" Andrei Boxiong looked at the sunlight outside the window: "Then we have to act quickly!"

"Well, I feel the same way. This beast tide is probably a bit lingering, but it is our chance to run out of the extraordinary beasts living in the deep forest."

Horn then analyzed: "In the past, to hunt extraordinary beasts, they had to go deep into the forest to search. Now they are on the edge of the forest and are very dense. Is there any better chance than this?!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly when they heard this.

"This time I heard Captain Fred say that some villages have been harassed by extraordinary beasts. There is one village I have been to, called Hongtu Village. The Hongtu Village is backed by a hill, and the outer area is a field with a wide view. Why don't we go to Hongtu Village to set up traps and wait for them to take the bait themselves so that we can't afford to enter the forest to catch people who can't afford to mess with. What do you think?"

"Good idea," the hunter nodded in agreement: "We can also use the Red Clay Village as a base to search for the extraordinary beasts around us so that we don't have to live in the forest at night, after all, living in the forest is too dangerous."

"Okay!" Andrei Boxiu slapped the table and stood up: "Then let's go!"

Everyone was ready for battle and didn't have to clean up. They stood up and left Lujiao Town, and walked towards Hongtu Village under Horn's guidance.

It is noon, which is the best time to walk in the forest, because extraordinary beasts usually lie down at night.

The shield sword warrior opened the way in front, and the bear broke the back. As usual, the wizard walked in the middle. The group walked along the forest path. A two-meter-long goshawk hovered over the forest to watch, and the snow spot followed the owner, sniffing around from time to time.

Everyone found the traces left by three different extraordinary beasts, and couldn't help but feel solemn.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with it all the way. Everyone came to Hongtu Village and found that the Hongtu Village was indeed open to the view as Horn said, with the back of the hills. The farmland outside the village was a good battlefield.

After arriving at the village, Horn came to the front to negotiate with the villagers.

Not long after the goblin incident, the villagers still remembered the great benefactor Horn. He only said one thing to help deal with the extraordinary beasts, and the villagers burst into cheers and expressed their full cooperation.

Then everything was much simpler. The thief and the hunter brother went to the forest to investigate, the bear climbed up the hill to observe the terrain, and Horn and the hunter brother were led by the old hunter to the sheep pen.

"Master, that damn beast comes almost every night, and it eats six sheep."

The old hunter pointed to the blood in the sheep pen, with tears in his eyes: "It's okay to eat sheep. If it starts to eat people one day, then we..., you must catch it."

The hunter squatted down to observe the footprints on the ground and its course of action, while Horn comforted the old hunter: "Don't worry, tell me what you know."

The old hunter suppressed his excitement: "I don't know much. Two days ago, I saw the beast in the room for a glance, but it was too dark and I couldn't see what it was. I only saw the two eyes as big as an apple, and almost scared me to death."

Horn glanced at the footprints on the sheep dung and found that they were plum blossoms, the size of a palm fan.

"How is it? Can you tell which animal it is?"

"Leopards, tigers, and lynxes are all possible, but they are big cats that eat meat anyway."

The hunter walked along the beast's footprints toward the edge of the village and found a scratch on the end of the log wall.

You should know that in order to guard against wild animals in the forest, the walls of Hongtu Village are more than three meters high.

"The bounce is very strong, and this wall is useless to it," the hunter pinched his chin: "But falling to the human village to prey on livestock means that the big cat cannot find food in the forest and should not be strong. We can set a few traps."

When it comes to dealing with extraordinary beasts, professional hunters are professionals. He called three soldiers and borrowed the village shovels to go outside the village to dig a trap.

The strong soldier dug a big hole in half an hour like a dirt shovel.

The hunter took out a special pointed needle and applied anesthetic, then inserted it at the bottom of the trap and camouflaged it on the surface, and then processed the dug floating soil.

If Horn hadn't watched the trap dig, he wouldn't have found that there was a trap here.

With the idea that it is always right to make more preparations, the hunter took out several large animal traps, covered them with floating soil and other disguised them on the paths that wild animals often walked.
