Pikri is a professional pet hunter who wanders around the outskirts of the Falling Star Forest all the year round. Relying on keen vision and hearing, he can catch one or two small animals that are still valuable almost every month, and the price of resale is enough to maintain a basic life.
A lone wolf driven out by the wolves like him can only live by this.
Picri dug traps and set up hunting nets all over the forest periphery, but no animal has stepped on the bait since the beginning of the setting.
Therefore, when he heard the movement of the hunting net, he instantly became excited. Such stupid prey is extremely rare.
However, when he saw the prey in the net clearly, he fell into deep doubt.
Using his paws, he carefully turned the unconscious animal over and over to take a closer look, then leaned in to smell it. Pickle was very sure that he had never heard of this animal in the Falling Star Forest or even the entire giant rock star. It looked a bit like a hairless monkey, with similar facial features and slender limbs. But this one has no tail, no claws or sharp teeth, and has smooth, delicate skin and a small body.
Possibly a degenerate or mutated hairless monkey, with no kin.
Compared to regular pets, mutant pets are more popular because of their unique characteristics. Pickri exhaled excitedly from his nose and rubbed his paw hard on the ground.
Posted!
The animal was precious enough to be sent to the Musta auction house for a fortune.
Thinking of the large sum of money he was about to get, he hooked the tattered clothes of this mutant hairless monkey and threw it on his back, then flew towards his nest.
Pike lived on a huge rock on the outskirts of Starfall Forest, and he dug a hole high in the rock.
Carrying people into the cave, there was a strong smell of fishy smell, and Lu Qiu, who was in a coma, almost woke up.
Pickri pulled the smallest out of the huge stack of cages and carefully put the man in. After confirming that he couldn't escape, he ignored it, and went to the side of the cave to open the rusted iron box, and took out a bottle of medicine from it.
To sell at a high price, pets must be groomed neatly and tidy, with no wounds on their bodies. Those nobles are very picky.
The sharp claws ripped open the clothes wrapped around Lu Qiu's body. Pickle couldn't help but sighed that this hairless monkey was wrapped so much, and the style of the clothes was too weird.
But thinking that they have no hair on their bodies and can't resist the cold, it's a little understandable.
He also kept a few short pieces inside to prevent people from freezing to death, so he spread the medicinal liquid evenly in distress.
These medicines that can instantly heal trauma are very expensive, and it will cost him a month of hard work to buy one. But this little guy has too many injuries, scars and bruises from his face to his feet, so it can't sell for a high price.
After waiting for about ten minutes, all the wounds and bruises on Lu Qiu's skin disappeared, revealing white and smooth skin. Pickri opened the terminal on his wrist excitedly, and began to slap this precious new prey.
During the filming, he used his claws to poke away Lu Qiu's lips from time to time, revealing the degraded canine teeth and the neat and clean millet teeth without any lethality, and then aimed at the weak hands and feet whose sharp claws had been ground flat.
After the shooting, he sent the image to a person in charge of the Musta auction house through the terminal, and poked his paws on the air screen in front of him.
"Mr. Manta, I caught a rare and top-quality mutant hairless monkey. Take a look at the appearance. If it is auctioned, it will definitely cause a sensation."
However, just as he was nervously and expectantly waiting for the reply from the other side, there was a sudden loud noise outside the cave, and the entire cave shook.
As soon as Pickle's face changed, he put away the terminal and immediately rushed to the entrance of the hole.
At some point, there were ten jackals surrounding the cave.
These jackals are much smaller than picri, but also close to four meters.
The two strong jackals were constantly hitting the boulder with their bodies, and the part connected to the rock below began to shake under their impact, and the cracking sound of the rock breaking slowly sounded.
Pickle arched his back, the hairs on his body stood up, and barked his teeth and yelled, "Bout? We have always done well without making river water. What do you mean, don't deceive people too much."
He bluffed and raised his head to call for his companions, but his eyes were still fixed on the bottom.
Although the jackal is smaller than the wolf, its flexibility and combat power are stronger than that of the wolf. Going it alone has a little hope of winning, and dealing with a group is definitely going to be an ugly death.
Pickri cursed in his heart, obviously avoiding other animal territories to choose the cave here.
The head jackal named Bute suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, his face like a big dog made the smile a little funny: "Did you think of such a day when you sold my clan's cub?"
Pickri secretly complained, how could he not get along with money when someone paid him. He began to plan an escape route in his heart, and now he can only escape by entering the inner circle of the Falling Star Forest.
But just as he was about to leave, the terminal flashed, and Manta replied with a message.
"Where are you?! Bring the hairless monkey to the auction house. Earl Wells has taken a fancy to it and is waiting to buy it. Your kid is about to send it! He has always been very generous."
Pickle's attempt to escape stopped, and a surge of ecstasy surged into his heart, but it disappeared in an instant. Now let alone send it over, even his life is about to be saved.
The cave was already collapsing under the violent impact of the two jackals, and the limestone that filled the air rose up. Picri retreated, snapped the cage and opened his mouth to grab Lu Qiu, who was still awake inside, and ran forward.
There was only a crack in the rock at the entrance of the hole, and he forcibly broke through the crack with his body and jumped out.
Seeing him running away so neatly, Boot raised his head angrily and howled: "Chase!" A group of jackals following him chased Pickle like a sharp arrow.
This time, Lu Qiu was awakened by an extremely strong stench. The moment she woke up, she felt that she was about to faint again. It was so stinky, like a cesspool that had not been cleaned in eight hundred years. It's so hot that I can't even open my eyes. Physiological tears covered her face involuntarily, making it almost impossible for her to see her surroundings.
She could feel herself lying in a cramped soft but warm and slippery place, with the walls up and down holding her so tightly that she couldn't move. There was wind blowing in from the front, she turned her head with difficulty, and in the blurred vision, she saw a tall and extremely hard pillar, the pillar was slightly curved, and the top was sharp and the bottom was thick.
Before she could figure out what it was, long howls resounded like thunder.
Lu Qiu reacted abruptly, she was now in the mouth of some giant animal, and that pillar was the wolf tooth. It should be the wolf she saw before she fell unconscious. The wolf seemed to be caught up by other animals before the wolf could eat her.
After all, it was possible to escape the first day of the first day but not the fifteenth day. Lu Qiushu shivered in the mouth of the stinking giant wolf, wishing to faint again.
"Bang bang bang!"
The wolf biting her seemed to be in a fierce fight with other animals, and she was almost spit out yesterday's meal by being jolted.
The smell of blood rushed up from the strong stench, and Lu Qiu didn't know whether to pray for himself or for the wolf that was about to eat her.
At this time, in the Masta Auction House on the other side.
Manta, who was in contact with Pickle, was cautiously receiving a distinguished guest.
This is a huge long-haired cat that is close to four meters. He has round amber eyes, and a face that always reveals impatience and a fierce look that is ready to pounce on and bite. With every movement of the mouth, the extremely sharp canine and sharp teeth were exposed.
His body is not slender and elegant, and he even looks a little fat because of the long hair. The gray-white hair looks dirty, like he hasn't taken a bath in ten years. But no one dared to make fun of him or despise him.
Anyone who dared to speak ill of the Earl of Wells in public was beaten up by him in a miserable form, and he was not allowed to take medicine for treatment. He had to suffer for a month.
This vengeful temper is even more extreme than the Black Crows, but his force value is unmatched in this area. I am afraid that there are not many people who can beat him in the entire Black Rock Star. Admit bad luck.
At this time, Wells was leaning lazily on the huge soft reclining chair, his fluffy long hair spread out, and his two short hind legs were tucked behind him. The ears are hidden in the thick and long hair, and only two low points are exposed. Impatiently, he sharpened his sharp claws on the stone table in front of him, and the stone powder fell straight down.
Manta held the terminal and glanced sadly at the stone table that was about to collapse.
"Lord Wells, look, these are the new favorites that have just been received. There are also the very popular multicolored long-tailed birds recently, as well as these special mutants, which are all new products that have just been bred. There are absolutely no outside, tonight. It's about to go to auction."
It stands to reason that the goods that are going into the auction house cannot be bought in advance, but Wells is different, and the boss behind the auction house does not want to offend him very much.
Wells squinted at the top pets that were turned over, his eyes were full of indifference, and his movements of grinding stones became faster and faster.
Manta's scalp went numb when she heard it, and she turned to the end, and Wells's expression and movements didn't change.
After a long time, he finally spoke. His voice was not soft and waxy like a normal cat. Instead, it was very clear, but his tone was very flat: "Just so much stuff? Your auction house's level is really getting lower and lower."
Bang.
The stone table that had been used as a claw grinding board finally collapsed under his continuous friction.
Manta couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, then rubbed his eyes, and the flying stone powder floated into his eyes, making him almost cry.
The news of Pickle was sent at this time. As soon as he saw those few images, Manta knew immediately that this superb mutant hairless monkey would definitely cause a sensation.
But the terminal's screen lit up, and Wells saw Lu Qiu's appearance at the same time.
The big cat who had been lounging on the reclining chair immediately raised its front paws, stretched out its paws and pointed it on his terminal, he looked at the small animals above, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I want this one!"
Manta: "… "
I blame my slow hands for not covering up this well, and I missed an opportunity to make the auction house popular.
He cheered up and contacted Pikri, but Pikri, who usually replied quickly, did not reply this time after waiting around.
Wells got a little impatient, and suddenly got up from the reclining chair without making any sound during his actions.
"Pikri in the Falling Star Forest, right? I'll find it myself."
Saying that, he instantly disappeared and disappeared.
At this time, Lu Qiu, who was still on the edge of life and death, didn't know that he was caught by a giant cat.
