Chapter 1503 Unable to Be Tamed

In the center of this semi-natural, semi-artificial closed space, there is a big tree growing.

This big tree is not tall, but it is very thick and dense.

It's so thick that even a few people can't hug it, and it's so dense that its canopy almost covers the sky.

After looking up for a long time, through the gaps between the branches and leaves, I could vaguely see some gray-brown colors that did not blend into the green shade.

I untied the Datachi sword and handed it to Yang Gao. I used my hands and feet to climb up along the main trunk.

After a few nudges, he got into the dense canopy of trees.

Looking at the canopy under the tree and looking at the canopy from inside the tree have completely different feelings.

The former can only observe its appearance, while the latter can only know its inside.

Being in the canopy, I couldn't help but sigh: "This seemingly intricate canopy with branches and leaves is actually not as dense as it looks."

Except for a dozen essential trunks, the rest were all twigs and new leaves, which could not stop me from climbing at all.

After a few leaps, I rushed to the location where I saw the gray-brown creature just now.

It was a nest of very cute-looking creatures. There were three of them in total. One was a little bigger and two were a little smaller. They all had furry gray-white wings and opened their eagle beaks, and kept barking at me.

Of these three little things, the largest one is about the same size as my hand, and it also screams the loudest. It looks like it is not afraid of life at all. It kicks on its four tender legs and spreads its wings to beg for food from me.

Naturally, I can't feed it anything, let alone feed it. I can't even touch it. Who knows whether a griffon will peck to death a child who has been touched like a sparrow.

I don't want to destroy an innocent creature for the sake of quick pleasure.

Sliding down the main trunk slowly, I nodded to the others: "It is indeed its nest up there. Which of you wants to go up and have a look?"

As a result, none of the three people wanted to go up and take a look. Gordo felt it was unnecessary, Yang Jie didn't dare, and Taylor said that he had seen it before, so it was no longer unusual.

So I turned to the griffon, apologized to it, and led the three of us out of the woods along the original path.

After we came out of the bush, Yang Gao asked me: "How are the gryphon cubs doing? Do they look ferocious?"

"Very cute" I said.

"Really?" He said in surprise: "I didn't expect that the cub of the ferocious and terrifying griffon could actually be related to cuteness."

"Many creatures are cute when they are young," I said, "but when they grow up, they will become ferocious and tough. Of course, some will become very ugly."

Speaking of which, the image of a husky comes to mind.

"Captain" Gordo, who was walking on the right rear, asked aloud: "Where should we go next?"

"Huh?" I stopped in confusion and turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

Gordo pointed to the sky.

I raised my head and took a look, only to realize that the sun had turned westward and it was almost dusk.

I lowered my head, thought for a moment, waved my hand and said, "Go back."

"Where to go?" Gordo asked.

"Gryphon's lair."

The dense forest at night is dangerous, like a big mouth dormant in the dark, waiting to devour tired travelers at any time.

In order to stay safe, I had to seek help from the strongest person in the jungle.

When we stepped into the griffin territory again, the huge griffin did not attack us immediately. Instead, it turned its back to the nest and looked at me warily.

"Please let us stay here for a night," I said, pointing to the darkening sky, and said, "We will leave here at dawn tomorrow."

I spoke clearly and the gryphon heard me clearly, but it was obvious that it didn't want us to live here.

After hesitating for a moment, I handed my hand to Gordo: "Give me a bag."

Gordo silently opened his backpack, took out a wine bag, and handed it to me.

Under the gaze of the gryphon, I uncorked the wine bag, took a sip, and then handed over the wine bag that exuded the aroma of wine and said, "Consider this as a thank you gift."

The gryphon stared at me for a while, and saw that I didn't have any discomfort. Then he touched the wine bag carefully a few times. After confirming that there was no doubt, he pinched the wine bag and brought it to the front, with the mouth of the bag facing the eagle's beak. Gudonggudong poured it in.

Compared with the huge body of the griffon, this bag of wine is nothing, but it has never drunk wine, but it is obsessed with the slightly sour sweetness produced by its taste buds.

Throwing down the wine bag, the griffin stretched out its giant claws again. The meaning could not be more obvious: just one bag of wine is not enough.

Under Taylor's distressed eyes, the griffin drank four more bags of wine, then nodded with satisfaction, jumped up, and flew back to its lair.

"You bastard, how dare you think about bribing it with my wine?" Taylor, who lost five bags of wine in a row, complained in my ear distressedly.

"Okay, old man," I comforted him, "I'll double the compensation for you when I get back."

"Can the wine I drink back be the same as the wine I have around me now?" Taylor counted the wine bags in his backpack and said distressedly, "The wine around me now is a treasure. If you drink one bag, you will lose one bag!"

Seeing his face twitching, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"At least five times, no, ten times, uh, at least compensate me twenty times!"

Seeing the pained expression on the old man's face, I couldn't bear it and nodded in agreement: "No problem."

After dinner, I set up the tent and put out the fire. I lay in my sleeping bag and quietly thought about what happened today.

First there was the fire-breathing giant lizard, then there was the giant wolf that was bigger than a bear, then there was the little dwarf who would fake death to lure the enemy, and finally there was the griffon that dominated the area like the king of the island.

Thinking about it this way, this journey was really exciting, especially the battle with the gryphon. The hot and exciting scene made my mood change several times in the blink of an eye.

It would be great if I could catch a few griffins with such fighting prowess and raise them as mascots.

"That's a good idea," Odachi said, "Even if you don't let them fight, just using them as mounts is a good choice."

"But..." Odachi changed the topic: "Are you really capable of taming it?"

"I don't know." I shook my head and said, "But even if I can't tame it, someone should be able to tame it."

"Give me an example" Odachi asked.

"this."

"I can't give you any examples, I knew it would be like this," Odachi said jokingly: "You kid always forgets reality when you have your whims. If griffins can really be tamed, do you think those royal nobles will not tame one?" Do you want to ride on it?"

Seeing that I remained silent, Odachi continued: "Those royal nobles can be said to be high-ranking, rich, rich, with mansions, beauties, jewelry, and delicacies. What do they lack most? Fame! Think about it, if you can compete in the Japanese Wind Hegemony Competition, What a feeling it is to ride a gryphon and arrive majestically at that grand conference!"

"Mighty, domineering, eye-catching, and it can also improve your own reputation a lot, right?" Odachi's tone was quite enthusiastic, as if it was on stimulants. Then, it changed the subject: "But, why are there no people who do this? What? This is the key to the problem, and it is also another answer to the doubt - that is because no one can tame the griffin, or in other words, the griffin is a species that cannot be tamed."

I thought for a long time and said, "But Taylor said before that someone once brought a griffon to the adventurer base to test its ability."
