Path of light

Chapter 235 236. Encounter

The adventure group prepares to trap a gryphon.

This kind of thing is very simple. As long as an elf walks alone on a hillside covered with grass, he will encounter an active attack from the griffons hovering in the sky.

Instructor Nora wanted the members of the adventure group to understand the fighting style of griffins, so he planned to lure a griffin over on the hillside.

At the same time, the adventure group also needs to prove the strength of each member to Guide Margery.

Although the strength of each instructor has been demonstrated in the previous hunts, those monsters are not gryphons after all...

Guide Margery needs to know whether the adventure group has the ability to hunt griffins.

This is one of the necessary conditions for crossing the Barrier Mountains.

If the adventure group can't defeat even one griffon, then it's better to run back to the barrier village before the woods completely disappear.

The woodland became sparse, and the grassy slopes were covered with clusters of low shrubs.

Some shrubs are covered with thorns, but the grass is full of gravel, and the slopes are very steep. gravel landslides occur from time to time, and the environment is very bad.

But this is the natural pasture of the argali sheep. It has the food that the argali sheep like to eat most, and there are also cliffs where they like to jump, so the adventure group can often see some sheep jumping back and forth on the hillside.

And they are also one of the griffins' favorite rations.

The argali are flexible and are very good at climbing over rock walls. If the griffons want to pounce on the argali, they can only do so on this grassy hillside. Once the argali climbs onto the rock wall, the griffons will no longer want to catch them. .

The griffons didn't want to hit the cliff either.

Although the griffin has an iron will and can knock a big hole out of the rock wall, it will never be able to catch the flexible argali.

Almost every member of the adventure group wore a hat woven from bush strips on their head, and they were all lying down in the grass.

Instructor Eleanor originally wanted to be the bait.

But this time Instructor Vergil took the initiative to stand up. He said that he was more suitable for this task than Instructor Eleanor. After all, a swordsman's body skills would be more flexible...

So he lay on a rock and basked in the sun.

Instructors Nora and Eleanor were hiding closest to him.

Roy always followed Instructor Gru, so he was a little far away.

Sabrina, Miss Christine and Scarlet Witch are hiding in another secluded location.

Instructor Virgil was lying alone on a boulder, looking up at the blue sky.

There are almost no clouds high in the sky. You can see the steep peak at a glance, and a few soaring griffins hovering back and forth on the peak.

In the Griffin Barrier, there are countless peaks that reach into the sky. It is obvious that there is a huge griffon nest on this mountain peak, or there is simply a group of griffins living there.

In Instructor Virgil's sight, most of the area in front of him was the blue sky, and the other half was the majestic cliffs.

Suddenly, a gryphon glides down from a high altitude. It spreads its fleshy wings and can fly up with the airflow. When it tightens its fleshy wings, it falls like a falling star.

Apparently this griffin discovered its prey, which is why it swooped down so quickly.

Instructor Virgil was a little excited. His elbows and feet were propped up on the boulder. He was obviously lying on the boulder, but he could jump up at any time...

Later, Instructor Virgil discovered that the gryphon suddenly fell not here, but on a grassy slope far away.

Instructor Virgil was so angry that he sat up from the boulder. He had been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the skin on his face felt a little burning. He was hoping that a gryphon would find him, and then swoop down and let him show off his sword. With the demeanor of a warrior, he even thought about what martial arts he would use to avoid the gryphon's dive.

Unfortunately, the gryphon's target was obviously not Instructor Vergil.

Roy, who was squatting next to Instructor Gru, sighed with great regret in his heart and could only continue to wait...

I thought these griffins would pounce on them immediately when they saw the elves appearing?

But in fact, those little black spots lingering on the peak have no intention of rushing down to hunt.

Instructor Virgil lay on the boulder and waited for half an hour, with a layer of oil on his face from the sun, but the gryphon had no intention of flying over.

Instructor Nora stood out from the grass with a head full of thorns and vines, and shouted to Instructor Virgil lying on the boulder:

"Virgil, get up! Let's go straight up the lawn and see if they dare to rush down..."

Instructor Virgil quickly turned over and jumped off the boulder.

The other instructors also stood up from the ambush point, and the group continued to move forward under the leadership of guide Margery.

This grassy slope is also very vast, with grass, gravel and thorn bushes everywhere. The vegetation here is quite peculiar, with few leaves and many leaves are very thick.

There were almost no snakes in the meadow, but there were some jumping iguanas that would occasionally run out of a crack in the rocks. They ran so fast that they would disappear from sight if you were not careful.

Further up, the grass becomes scarce, and some sea buckthorn grass and moss appear on the ground.

There are more exposed rocks on the mountain.

Guide Margery jumped up and down on these mossy stones and walked sideways along the mountain wall without any intention of climbing the rock wall.

Roy found that there were many gravel areas on these grassy slopes. When Guide Margery saw these gravel areas, he wanted to go around them.

Basically, elf hunters will not enter this area. Only some adventure groups will go up there. The higher the position, the easier it is to come into contact with the griffins.

This kind of mountain road is very difficult to walk. Under the strong sunlight, the team stops to rest much faster.

Roy licked his dry lips, took out a water bag from his waist, filled a large gulp of water first, and then poured the rest of the water over his head. He looked up at the sky. The threat above his head was still there, but there was no The gryphon flew this way.

He didn't think that these griffins could not see the adventure group and the others. He could only say that the griffins were also observing.

Walking on a rocky hillside can make you tired easily.

Instructor Nora always allows members of the adventure group to take frequent breaks. Along the way, Roy also encountered some strange stone arches and faults dozens of meters high.

"We have to climb up directly from here..." Guide Margery said, pointing to the cliff more than 20 meters high.

"This is simple, wait for me!"

Magician Scarlett didn't hesitate at all, and directly pulled out the magic handle from the magic waist bag. This magic handle with a helm, a floating device, and a thrust device is actually nothing like a real handle...

Magician Scarlett controlled the magic pot and flew up directly. After a moment, she stood on the top of the fault mountain cliff. Then she took out a bundle of ropes from her magic waist bag and tied one end to a raised rock. Then she Throw down the entire bundle of rope.

Instructor Eleanor picked up the end of the rope in front and pulled hard twice. She found that the rope was still tied very firmly, so she did not hesitate anymore and was the first to climb up...

Instructor Eleanor held the rope alternately with both hands and stepped on the cliff with both feet. She walked very fast.

"Sabrina, follow Instructor Eleanor!"

"Yes!" Sabrina quickly imitated instructor Eleanor's movements and quickly climbed up.

"Christine!"

"yes!"

"Roy..."

Instructor Nora asked the three young elves to walk in front, followed by Instructor Gru, Guide Margery, and Instructor Virgil.

Instructor Nora walked at the back.

Sabrina climbed very fast. She easily followed instructor Eleanor to the top of the bare fault cliff. There was only a narrow platform, and there was another large piece of gravel above it. Gravel, it’s time to climb this real cliff.

Sabrina squatted on the edge of the cliff, first pulled Miss Christine up, and then stretched out her hand to pull Roy up.

Just as Roy stood on the narrow platform, instructor Eleanor, who was observing the sky, shouted:

"Everyone, move quickly, there is a gryphon flying towards us..."

Roy was startled.

He quickly looked into the sky, and sure enough, a gryphon appeared in his sight. This gryphon had curled up its fleshy wings and dived towards the cliff like a cannonball.

Instructor Gru followed Roy and jumped up quickly. He moved a few steps to the side, then held the combat short bow in his hand, put an arrow on the bow arm, and aimed at the griffon in the sky.

Guide Margery was so frightened that he quickly climbed up...

Instructor Vergil hung himself on the rope, looked up at the griffin, and shouted:

“Nora, you go up first, I’ll attract its attention here!”

Instructor Nora couldn't argue with Instructor Vergil at this time. Seeing the gryphon swooping down like a cannonball, Instructor Nora almost stepped on Instructor Vergil's body and climbed up the rock wall.

Instructor Gru led Roy and quickly moved out. On the other side, Guide Margery, Sabrina and Miss Christine were also retreating.

Instructors Nora and Eleanor stood on the left and right sides of Instructor Vergil.

When Margery saw Gru retreating thirty yards away, he refused to retreat any further. He quickly shouted to instructor Gru: "Back off a little, the explosion circle will be huge!"

When he said this, the gryphon had already rushed down.

Just when it was about to collide, the color of the griffin's body began to change. The original light brown body gradually turned into the color of black iron.

The gryphon hit the rock wall where Instructor Vergil was, and countless rocks suddenly cracked and collapsed.

Instructors Nora and Eleanor retreated to the safe area in great embarrassment.

Just when everyone was looking for Instructor Vergil, they discovered that Instructor Vergil was actually holding a sword in both hands and constantly dancing around his body. The light of the sword actually formed an airtight light shield under Instructor Vergil's frequent dancing. Anyone who flew over When the stone hit the sword light shield, it instantly fell apart.

A phantom of a Crusader sword appeared behind Instructor Vergil. It seemed that he had activated his 'potential' and escaped from the exploding rubble.

At this moment, the griffin covered with a layer of iron armor jumped out following instructor Vergil.

Rubbles fell one after another, but the gryphon was not damaged at all...
