Tron thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter who wins. This place is not suitable for fighting the Griffin, even if it is injured. If the Ghost Cat wins, the body of the Griffin will be eaten, and it will be difficult for us to get the head back. Plus, we have to worry that the Ghost Cat will treat us as prey. We will have to be on our toes all the way. "
"Wrong answer. You have to continue learning." Galliel shook his head and walked to the front of the team. "There is no choice. The Griffin will win. I only have one hope now. I hope that the Griffin finally feels hungry and stops to eat the Ghost Cat. That will be beneficial to us. "
Tron looked ashamed. He looked in the direction of the battlefield for a moment, nodded, and hurried to catch up with them.
Logically speaking, the Griffin might have noticed them when it flew into the air. Fortunately, it was still busy fighting the Ghost Cat and did not look in their direction. The wind was also very helpful. It kept blowing from the direction of the battlefield. This way, their smell would not spread and be discovered by the Ghost Cat.
The group quietly approached the battlefield under the cover of the rocks and shadows. At this distance, the human nose could already smell the smell of blood and the body odor of the monsters. The Griffin's scream also became more and more ear-piercing. Reynolds was very nervous. He looked at the crossbow in his hand more than once, repeatedly checking if the arrow was still on it and if the string was tightened. In comparison, Wu Mama and Ramstein looked much calmer, even though it was their first time on a mission.
Jegret held the holy emblem on his chest and was about to recite a divine prayer when Galliel stopped him. He waved his hand and then made a shushing gesture. At the same time, he motioned for everyone to lower their bodies. Reynolds really didn't expect that so many meanings could be conveyed in just one second of hand gestures. However, when he focused, he immediately became less nervous.
"Caw!!!"
The Griffin suddenly let out a loud cry. Reynolds's eardrums hurt. He was just about to poke his head out to see what was happening when Tron grabbed his shoulder and squatted down again. At this moment, a black shadow flew over their heads and hit the cliff hard, then fell straight into the valley.
It was one of the Ghost Cats. It should have died in midair, so it did not let out a scream. The Griffin took the opportunity to kill it in the end. The remaining cat let out a wail and quickly retreated, using its body to protect the direction of the nest. Normally, a predator would look for the piece of meat that had fallen and let go of the incomplete family.
But this griffin was not normal. It turned in the air and suddenly pounced on Ghost Cat. The Ghost Cat had nowhere to run. It fought back with all its might, but it was still scratched hard. The Gryphon swept its wings at the heavily injured Ghost Cat like an abandoned rag doll. It rolled and slid on the hillside for some distance before it could no longer fight back.
The griffin felt that it was invincible, so it took off and left. It still had more anger to vent.
The Gryphon circled around, but it didn't find any fresh prey hiding behind the rocks, so it flew away while chirping. It was also injured. From time to time, drops of blood and feathers would fall from the sky, but it still retained most of its combat power. Everyone looked at Gallet, Gallet looked at Tron, and Tron looked in the direction where the Gryphon left and shook his head.
"This place is too narrow, and there are too few places to hide. Even a creature as agile as Ghost Cat can't move freely, let alone us. No, we can't fight here. "He didn't take his eyes off the Gryphon until it left. "I saw the Gryphon slowing down. Its nest must be in that place. It's not far away. Well … I already have a plan. "
Gallet craned his head and observed for a while with narrowed eyes. "What plan?"
"The Gryphon is southeast of us. There's a sparse forest on the slope of the valley. We'll set up an ambush there."
Gallet shook his head. "The forest is good, but it's in the valley. There's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. This isn't a good plan."
"No, I insist on my plan," Tron said. "Judging from the battle just now, this Gryphon has indeed gone berserk. We can't judge it by the habits of a regular Gryphon. Hunting is no longer its main desire, so the nest isn't a restraint for it. Once it finds its next target, it can fly away at any time. In that case, we'll have to keep chasing. Time and speed aren't on our side, so we have to seize this opportunity. "
He pointed at the sky. "The wind is blowing in the direction of the nest, which is to our advantage. Setting up a trap in the forest and using the scent to lure the Gryphon here won't work without good wind. If we speed up, we can set everything up in the afternoon. Then, we might be able to lure the Gryphon here before evening. Don't forget, no matter how crazy the Gryphon is, it has just finished a slaughter, so it can still calm down a little. If we start setting up the trap immediately, we might be able to finish this mission before evening. We don't have a better time! "
After saying that, he looked at Gallet. There was a little anxiety in his eyes, but more confidence in them. Tron was already prepared. If Gallie still rejected this matter, then he would carry it out as the captain. Along the way, he had thought things through very clearly. Hunting the Gryphon was very dangerous, so they had to seize every advantage and make use of it. The current situation was much better than expected. At least they weren't ambushed on the way, and there was a window of time to set up the trap.
"Then we'll do as you say." Gallet blinked and agreed with Tron's plan. Reynolds noticed that he spoke faster than usual. He seemed to be a little excited. A little excited?
Everyone jumped out of cover and began to descend the mountain. Reynolds' position was between Wu Mama and Jegret. He was thinking about the battle that was about to happen when he heard a call in his ear. "Meow …"
As if his soul was suddenly pulled, he suddenly stopped and bumped into Jegret. This made him stumble forward and almost fall. But at this time, he heard the meow again, from the direction of the Ghost Cat's nest.
"Reynolds, what's wrong?" Tron heard the commotion behind him and jumped to the side of the road first, then turned back to check.
"I heard a cat meow, like it was right next to my ear. Didn't you hear it?"
"There's no meow. But, you mean the Ghost Cat? We still have enough food, so there's no need to complicate things. " Tron glanced over there. "One fell into the valley and died. The other one was seriously injured, but still has the ability to fight. But we can take a look when we come back. "
"Not for meat!" Reynolds wondered when these hunters would be able to solve the problem of food. Otherwise, they would always turn all kinds of things into food. "I think there's a voice calling me over there. I want to check it out. "
