Chapter 929 Graffiti in the Grand Canyon
Gordon and his party walked along the mountains for two whole days before finally reaching the place marked on the map, where the mountain walls were not so high and the angles were not so steep.
The cart that had been dragged all the way was obviously impossible to carry over the mountains, so Gordon and his team had to find a hidden rock recess and temporarily park the cart in it.
When the acid pterosaur is captured, it will be used on the return trip.
Anshil was the easiest to climb the mountain, because he didn't have to climb by himself.
The tooth hounds with sharp claws and strong limbs are much more efficient than humans in climbing mountains.
Looking at Anshil lying on the back of Liefeng and being carried up by the latter, Gordon and Ted's eyes were full of envy.
They wanted to wait at the foot of the mountain, and wait for Liefeng to carry Anshil to the ridge before coming down to carry them, so that they could all be sent up in three round trips.
Oh, no, there are also some supplies such as food and water, so four or five times is enough.
Liefeng shook his head frantically. He felt that as a fang hound, he should not bear so much.
After bargaining, coercion and inducement, both sides took a step back.
Liefeng was responsible for carrying Anshil, pork chops, supplies, weapons on Gordon and Ted, and some heavy armor parts.
As for Gordon and Ted, they climbed barehanded after reducing the weight.
That's it. Liefeng also climbed up and down four times, which made him stick out his tongue, but he still felt that he had earned it.
After all, he didn't have to carry the heaviest two things.
Anshil, who was waiting on the ridge, sighed and decided to buy more fish for this stupid dog after returning to the base to replenish his brain.
Compared with climbing up the ridge, how to get down to the Grand Canyon is the real trouble.
They naturally brought ropes, but the length of the ropes added up was not enough for rappelling, not to mention that they had to consider how to get back after entering the canyon.
The lazy method of throwing the equipment to Liefeng and climbing lightly, as they did just now, can no longer be used.
There are more acid pterosaurs living in the Grand Canyon than they expected. It is difficult to guarantee that these vicious pterosaurs will not attack during the climbing process, so climbing lightly is too dangerous.
The three people and the cat began to discuss countermeasures. The dog was too stupid to participate.
"Didn't we bring invisible clothes? Climb down wearing invisible clothes?" Ted suggested.
This is actually the most common method used by the research class leader and the master Yuanye who had never met to cross the Grand Canyon.
"No." Anxier decisively rejected, "Don't forget our purpose. If we just want to go down to the canyon or cross the canyon, we can do this.
But we are here to capture the acid pterosaurs and take them away. How are you going to climb out with the acid pterosaurs?"
Ted choked.
Gordon also agreed with Ansell's opinion, "In fact, under the premise of capturing multiple acid pterosaurs, the option of going down to the canyon was ruled out from the beginning.
We can only move on the ridge. We can still find a way to get the captured acid pterosaurs down the mountain.
The problem now is how to attract the acid pterosaurs to the ridge."
Ted scratched his unshaven chin, "In our team, the bait job is usually done by Baba Ka."
".Have you decided to use the bait tactic, meow?" Pig Chop stared at Ted with his eyes empty.
It's clear who this bait is without asking.
"Don't mention it. Although the bait tactic is old-fashioned, it is also the most effective." An Xier thought, "We can find a relatively wide and flat place on the ridge as a battlefield.
We will catch one when Pork Chop attracts one. If we attract several at once, we will use flash bombs to flash them down and then cook them."
"Is it settled?!"
"Pork Chop is small in size and still a little dangerous. If he is not careful, he will be caught by the acid pterosaur and fly into the sky. That will be troublesome." Gordon said for Pork Chop.
Before Pork Chop had time to thank him, Gordon continued: "So let's use Pork Chop and Liefeng as bait together. Fix Pork Chop on Liefeng's back. This way, it will not only be fast to go up and down the mountain wall, but also not easy to be caught."
"Woo woof?!"
"Thank you meow."
Promised to treat them to a big meal after returning to the Star Base, the choice of bait was happily decided.
With the cover of the rock, they rested in place for a night.
In the early morning of the second day, the group walked along the ridge for a while and found a relatively flat and open area.
Gordon and his two men, fully armed, with swords sharpened and crossbows loaded, put on invisible clothes and ambushed.
Pig Chop and Liefeng, who were also armed, were also ready.
After repeatedly checking the straps that firmly fixed him to the saddle, Pig Chop turned around and made a rude gesture to the three people who were looking at him expectantly.
Then he rode Liefeng and jumped down the ridge silently.
It was dark and the sun had not risen yet. The acid pterosaurs living in the Grand Canyon did not seem to wake up yet, clinging to the rock wall to rest.
Pig Chop did not rush to alarm them, but planned to go down to the canyon first.
Although the predatory acid pterosaurs are generally much larger and stronger than the pterosaurs living in the ancient tree forest, the differences between different individuals of the same species are also very obvious.
Considering the subsequent feeding and use, the weak, old, and injured individuals are definitely not considered.
The young, strong, and huge individuals are their priority targets.
Going down the mountain is always harder than going up, especially this kind of steep and almost vertical mountain wall. Liefeng spent a lot of effort to take Zhucho down to the bottom of the valley.
The cat and the dog found a rock hollow to hide temporarily.
Zhucho was about to take out the telescope to carefully select the acid pterosaurs hanging on the rock wall, but Liefeng suddenly turned around and nudged it with his nose.
"What's the matter, meow?" Zhucho asked in a low voice.
Liefeng shook his big head and raised his head to indicate the location deep in the rock hollow.
Zhucho looked in the direction of Liefeng and found that there was a dark red pattern painted on the rock wall in the rock hollow.
This pattern must not be formed naturally. It seems to be painted with fingers dipped in plant or mineral dyes. It looks like an abstract painting, and it looks like some kind of text or totem. It is completely impossible to interpret.
"Meow left by the orcs like the strange face tribe?" Zhucho muttered.
Anyway, it couldn't be left by Elu or Melalu. There seemed to be no wild Elu tribe in the New World. The Elu and Melalu tribesmen in the base were all from the Old World like it.
Zhu Chop hesitated for a moment, but still took out the small notebook and quickly copied the pattern.
The old grandfather who always wore a bamboo hat and was obsessed with studying the orcs might be very interested.
After recording, Zhu Chop put away the small notebook, took out the telescope, and carefully observed the acid pterosaurs hanging on the mountain wall.
Soon, it made some discoveries.
Like many social creatures, acid pterosaurs are also divided into "social levels". The old, weak, sick and disabled can only live on the rock wall near the bottom of the canyon.
The upper part of the mountain wall with sufficient light, especially those caves and cracks that can shelter from wind and rain, are the exclusive residences of the most ferocious and strongest individuals.
In other words, they don't have to go down to the bottom of the valley at all. They can find the most suitable targets on the rock wall near the ridge.
".Liefeng, let's go back to the ridge meow, all the good targets are up there meow."
"Woof??!"
