Chapter 284 Little Monster
That was a common tool for taming animals, how could it appear here?
Then, He Lingchuan saw a strange creature appear on the wall of the yard.
It looked like a badger, a flying squirrel, and a bit like a sea otter. It was the size of a domestic cat, but it had no hair. Its skin was gray with black spots, very similar to the surrounding environment, but with thick wrinkles.
Its eyes were small, flashing red, and suddenly it looked into He Lingchuan's eyes.
The coldness and malice in those small eyes made his heart tighten, and his right hand subconsciously touched the knife.
The little monster tilted its head and turned to face He Lingchuan.
At this time, a dark brown figure suddenly fell from the sky, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, and pounced on the flying monster like lightning.
The speed was only faster than an arrow.
The two things entangled together and rolled down the wall.
They fell into Sun Fuling's yard.
He Lingchuan simply went out through the window and jumped onto the wall to look.
It turned out that the figure that jumped down from the sky was a sparrowhawk. He Lingchuan had fought it several times and even cooperated with it in the underground spider nest. He was an old acquaintance and even knew how many spots there were on its tail.
The sparrowhawk screamed while fighting, tearing with its claws and pecking with its beak. Those with poor eyesight could only see two shadows colliding with each other and feathers flying.
But He Lingchuan saw clearly that the sparrowhawk was at a disadvantage!
With the power of its swooping down from the air, even a serious weasel monster would be caught to death, but the little monster in front of him was calm, as if his skin was not even scratched, and he turned his mouth to bite the sparrowhawk.
Its movements were more flexible than the weasel monster, and it focused on the sparrowhawk's feet and neck. The latter dodged twice, but was still bitten on the leg. He Lingchuan saw blood spurting out.
The little monster attacked its throat again, and the sparrowhawk blocked it with its wings, but its wings were pulled and bitten by the opponent, and the bird's feathers flew.
In the blink of an eye, the sparrowhawk was in danger of death.
It was also a soldier of Panlong City. He Lingchuan would not sit idly by. He grabbed the ice and snow on the wall, rolled it into a ball and threw it out.
The little monster was startled and turned around to see a flash of white in front of him.
It suffered from its small size, and each snowball blocked its sight.
He Lingchuan jumped to the ground, slapped the sparrowhawk away with the back of his knife, pulled out a dagger with his left hand, aimed at the little monster and stabbed it.
Who knew that this thing was so flexible that it slipped like a gust of wind and parkoured directly on He Lingchuan. From its perspective, a big human being is really ridiculously clumsy.
After a few dings, He Lingchuan still blocked its attack on the vitals. The diligent and hard-trained "Yan Hui" body skills have made some progress, and the most important thing is that he has experience. This kind of little monster with full agility value often has weak attack power, so it will first attack the opponent's throat, eyes, heart and other vitals.
At the same time, he also took the opportunity to stuff something into his mouth and chewed hard.
The little monster missed several times and made a snapping sound. He Lingchuan realized that it was the sound of its teeth gritting.
Then it changed its mind and bit his belly.
He Lingchuan was wearing light armor, but its front teeth were more powerful than a mouse. It bit through the leather armor with a few snaps. Then its body suddenly shrank like a mouse, curled up and drilled into the hole!
He Lingchuan was shocked because he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen immediately afterwards-
This thing was going to make a hole in his stomach and then drill into it to gnaw his internal organs!
Just looking at the speed at which it gnawed through the leather armor, it would probably only take a few breaths to pierce his intestines.
He Lingchuan was not afraid of death in his dreams, but he didn't want to die this way. It was too aggrieved.
In a blink of an eye, the monster was left with only a bare tail tip outside. He Lingchuan didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed it and dragged it out.
With a snap, the monster's tail broke.
This thing is actually like a gecko, it can cut off its tail to survive in critical moments.
However, it was dragged out for a short distance after all. He Lingchuan was quick-witted and spit out the chewed food in his mouth, which was directly stuck on the little monster, and then slapped it away with a palm.
It was right to slap it away from his body, so that it would not make a hole in any part of the body again.
He used a lot of strength, but the little monster fell to the ground and rolled twice, and it was fine. It got up and continued to attack.
But after walking a few steps, it felt something was wrong:
Its limbs and belly were all stuck, and it was very inconvenient to move.
It looked down and saw that its body was stuck by a large piece of milky white jelly. It raised its claws to push, but the claws were also stuck and could not be pulled out.
The little monster went crazy and gnawed at this white and sticky thing.
However, it was useless, and it just made its mouth sink into it and could not open it anymore.
In just a dozen breaths, it fell to the ground, its body covered with milky white soft glue.
The more it struggled, the more desperate it became.
The sparrowhawk resting on the side asked: "What is this?"
"Some kind of monster?" He Lingchuan was not sure, this thing looked too ugly.
"What are you using?"
"Bird glue." He Lingchuan smiled at it.
"..." As a bird, the sparrowhawk shrank its neck.
"Don't look down on it. It is very reliable for catching wild boars, mountain deer and small monsters, as long as it is not wet." This trick was taught to him by Willow Branch, which is particularly convenient for hunting for food outside on weekdays. It is said that hunters will use some kind of tree sap as a base to mix a strong bird glue, which is usually solid and easy to carry. It will melt and take effect when it is heated. So chew it before using it.
But you don't have to worry about sticking to your mouth, because it loses its stickiness when it gets wet.
But the little monster on the ground seemed to be able to understand human speech. When he heard the word "wet", he dragged the glue and rolled it on the snow.
Glue is afraid of water. When the snow melts, doesn’t it turn into water?
He Lingchuan was startled, and quickly went into the kitchen to grab a straw basket, fished it out, and fished it out.
The monster grinned at him, but unfortunately it couldn't move.
As he got closer, He Lingchuan actually smelled a salty and moist smell from it, a bit like sea breeze, and a bit like...
Some kind of stimulant?
He took the dagger and slashed it at the monster.
It looked thin-skinned, but it didn't break the skin this time. The dagger slid out like it was scratched on flexible cowhide.
This scene seemed familiar. He Lingchuan frowned, grabbed the dagger and stabbed it with more force.
It didn't work either.
A small hole was dug into the monster's skin, but the skin remained intact.
"Interesting." This time he pulled out the Fusheng knife.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." The little monster cried out in pain. A bloody gash was made on his back, and light green blood flowed out.
"Sure enough, you are also a wanted criminal." Sure enough, Fu Sheng Dao did not disappoint him.
He Lingchuan was not happy but worried about grabbing this thing. Who knows how many such monsters are lurking in Panlong City? They are either extremely powerful or extremely fast. In short, they are extremely destructive and invulnerable. How can ordinary soldiers and civilians deal with them?
And he also knows that this thing eats people.
As he was sizing up the monster, there were rapid footsteps coming from outside.
He Lingchuan opened the courtyard door and saw a patrol guard rushing over, looking left and right.
"What are you looking for?" He Lingchuan showed his patrol sign.
"We just received a distress call." The man looked anxious, "It seems there are monsters here."
He Lingchuan then grabbed the straw basket from behind and said, "This is what caused the trouble."
The patrolman saw clearly the appearance of the monster in the room and was startled: "Yes, it must be these ghosts! I also heard the sound of fighting. Is anyone injured?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan glanced back. Sparrowhawk was standing on the back of a chair in Sun Fuling's courtyard, closing his eyes to rest.
The patrolman also saw it and said, "I'll take it back for treatment."
When the sparrowhawk heard this, he flapped his wings and flew crookedly to the roof.
"..."
"Forget it, I will take care of it." He Lingchuan walked out and closed the door. The patrolman was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"Take this thing in exchange for military honors." He Lingchuan shook the basket, "It seems that the people above are very worried about catching these things." So the military honors will be more generous, right?
The patrolman said, "I'm going back to report right now. I'll pass it along to you."
"Why are you so embarrassed?" He Lingchuan hesitated, "You want to help me submit military merit?"
"No problem." The patrolman showed his sign, which had a first and last name on it. "Please tell me your name and serial number."
Because military registration is compiled into a book, each person has a serial number, which makes it easy to search.
After He Lingchuan reported, he handed over the straw basket: "Then I'll trouble you."
"You're welcome." The patrolman nodded, took the basket and left.
He Lingchuan watched his figure disappear at the corner of the street. He always felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember it.
At this time, there was a sound of flapping wings from behind. He looked back and saw that the sparrowhawk was trying to fly down from the roof, but it crashed midway.
Fortunately there was thick snow on the ground.
He walked back, picked it up, jumped back to his home, and then went into the house to treat its injuries.
Don't look at the size of the monster and its small mouth. A large piece of meat was torn off the sparrowhawk's leg. The wings that were protecting the throat were also torn to pieces. Several flight feathers were missing, and the wings were severely fractured. Obviously the little monster is also very energetic.
"With this injury, you won't be able to fly to heaven within two months." He Lingchuan scratched his head, "Attach the wings first, and don't move them after they are fixed. I have to ask Aluo to get you some medicine."
A few months ago, he was a novice who could only stare at gauze in a daze, but now he is half a master at treating bruises and injuries.
A patient who has been injured for a long time becomes a good doctor. He is sincere and will not be deceived by me.
While He Lingchuan was treating it, he asked, "How do you chase this thing?"
"These monsters have been too rampant recently, killing more than a dozen people, and making people in Panlong City uneasy. In addition to patrols, arrest warrants have also been issued in the city." Sparrowhawk said dullly, "I fly high enough to see If they are far away, they will be sent on a high-altitude patrol.”
He Lingchuan can understand the mentality of the city residents. Panlong City has always been labeled as "safe" and "efficient" and is a benchmark for city governance. So many civilians suddenly died, and the murderer still cannot be caught. There is dissatisfaction among the people and official pressure. Also big.
"How many monsters have been caught now?"
"Including today's one, there are five of them."
