Verricro was picking up two killed mountain antelopes by a stream at the foot of a cliff when he heard gunshots coming from the ruins. This is the most common wild antelope in the three southwestern provinces. It likes to climb rocks and walk on walls to feed on rocks. The moss and shrub leaves on the wall can also effectively avoid predators. Because many carnivorous beasts do not have the skills to climb rocks, they can only drool and watch the delicious food dangling leisurely on the rock wall in mid-air.
It's just that these mountain antelopes didn't expect that the beasts couldn't climb up the rock wall, but someone could knock them down from the rock wall. For Viricero, these mountain antelopes were really the best targets. Even if three people approached the cliff, these mountain antelopes did not panic. Perhaps there were many beasts that tried to hunt them, but the bloody lessons of falling off the rock wall convinced these mountain antelopes that the enemy could not climb the cliff and would not be a threat to them.
Verricro raised his gun in a leisurely manner, aimed and fired, and a mountain antelope rolled down the cliff. But the rest of the mountain antelope are not aware of the danger yet. The roar of the musket is more like thunder in the ears of these mountain antelopes, and the fall of their partner is likely to be regarded as a slip by other mountain antelopes. So the remaining mountain antelopes just stopped eating, "bleating" uneasily, raised their heads and looked around, and paid more attention to where they settled.
The three Viricloos were overjoyed to see that the other antelopes did not run away. They worked harder to clean the barrels of their guns, pour powder, plug the guns, wind the match, light them, and continue to aim their guns.
There was another roar, and another mountain antelope rolled down from the air. Only then did the surviving mountain antelope realize that the real threat came from the three two-legged beasts below. They were holding strange sticks. Every time they made a sound of thunder and puffed out a burst of white smoke, one of their companions fell off the cliff quickly. The remaining mountain antelopes jumped on the cliff as if they were walking on flat ground, and soon they all disappeared on the other side of the cliff.
The three of them re-equipped the match ropes with guns before going in search of the prey they had caught, because no one could guarantee whether there would be other carnivorous beasts ambushing nearby and preparing to hunt mountain antelopes. When picking up prey, you will encounter wild beasts unexpectedly. Bock'ar's stone crossbow and Erikson's hunting bow alone cannot guarantee everyone's safety.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any ferocious beasts. Verricro said that the most dangerous ferocious beast in Bailuzhou is the mountain leopard, which is the overlord of the mountain forest. Each mountain leopard is as big as a calf and is extremely alert and alert. No experienced hunter will confront a mountain leopard without preparation. That is simply asking for death.
The two mountain antelopes that had been hit and fell off the cliff were easy to find. They fell on the slope below the cliff, not far from the three of them. But when Bok'ar saw these two trophies, he still couldn't help but sigh and complain.
In fact, these two mountain antelopes are very fat, but the pity of Bokoar is their fur. After rolling down the cliff and touching the hard rock, the fur of the two mountain antelopes had many cuts and looked a bit tattered.
Last time Viricero went to the old Munch's grocery store and sold two old furs, which also belonged to this mountain antelope. But although the two pieces of fur were old, they were still intact, unlike the two newly hunted mountain antelopes, whose fur had been scratched into pieces.
"This one can only be sold for two riaso at most. This one is better, about three riaso. What I'm talking about is that we can only sell it at the old Munch grocery store, and the price Vakuri may give us. If you get it from Gilp Fur Store, you might refuse to buy it because it is damaged." Bockal made the appraisal very expertly.
"Here's a hand, stop talking nonsense," Erikson said unhappily: "We two raised one end, Vero took one, and we'll peel the skin first when we get to the stream. Regardless of how much it costs, the skin should still be peeled." You have to peel it off. As for whether it’s worth it, I doubt your eyesight is accurate at all. You can’t even hit a pheasant so close, so you wasted that crossbow arrow.”
"You're still talking about me, aren't you the same? You can't even catch a hair from two rabbits." Bock'ar retorted unconvinced, but he still went over and picked up the front legs of the mountain antelope, and held it with Airi. Kesen walked together to the mountain stream not far ahead.
"I'm not used to it, you know. This is a hunting bow, not a school practice bow. I just got it and haven't mastered the strength yet. If it had been my short gun, I would have hit those two rabbits long ago." Eric Mori Masa
