Chapter 494: Bear's Dead Antlers
"I've seen it in the library," Li Qi said.
"I knew it."
"Her name is Ashley Clijsters, and she's been called a genius since she was a little girl, and she's very annoying," said Kumber.
"No, Kun Bo, are you jealous of a little girl?" Li Qi couldn't help but say.
Unexpectedly, Kunbo seemed to be suddenly ignited with a dynamite keg of grievance, complaining: "But my mother always makes fun of her, saying that she is only ten years old, knows more than me, and is more mature than me!"
Li Qi and Bode nodded in unison.
"You two think so too?" Kunbo couldn't believe it: "You are not careful when making friends. I thought you two could see my advantages!"
Bode mercilessly exposed Kunbo's fantasy: "She is more polite than you."
"I am... elegant and easy-going!"
Li Qi asked casually: "The Clijsters family? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"A very special small family, in the Skeleton Territory north of the Winter City territory, is responsible for guarding the pass and managing the road from the middle to the background." Kunbo said: "The Clijsters family is the most loyal in the entire Rhea continent. people."
"Loyalty?" There is no shortage of loyal people in this country, but I have never heard of people who are civilized by loyalty.
The disloyal morning soldiers rebelled.
"They will be loyal to whoever is the king."
"..." Li Qi was silent: "So it's this kind of loyalty."
"But according to my mother, with Ashley, the Clijsters family will definitely become more than just an ordinary small family."
"I agree with this." Li Qi nodded. A girl who knows how to go to the big library to seek knowledge at a young age, and behaves politely like a young adult without losing the innocence of a child, will definitely be extraordinary in the future.
There is a certain truth to the age of three.
Kunbo fell silent and began to reflect on himself.
"Don't be too pessimistic." Li Qi patted Kun Bo on the shoulder and rubbed oil on his robe: "At least when it comes to treasure digging, no one can compare with you. Everyone has their own areas that they are not good at."
"Haha, that's true." Kun Bo gratefully grabbed Li Qi's arm.
Li Qi squinted as he used the same method to rub oil on himself.
The two looked at each other and reached some kind of consensus. Then they walked to Bode at the same time and patted his shoulders on the left and right: "Bode, what do you think?"
"What?" Bode didn't understand.
After wiping their hands, the two shook their heads: "It's okay."
The servants on the side watched helplessly, but no one said a word to remind him.
Looking at the vicious Lord Bode, why is he always so dazed?
The sky gradually darkened and the meal came to an end. Li Qi scanned the crowd and subconsciously found a familiar figure with red hair. He was chatting happily with Ashley.
The two of them didn't know what they said, but Ashley turned and pointed in Li Qi's direction.
Hong Qiangwei looked over in the direction of her finger, and the two of them met each other's eyes. They nodded slightly and then looked away, which was regarded as a greeting.
After a night's rest, the team set off on their way at dawn the next day.
The reason was that Bol II was restless.
He hugged the craft porcupine wine early in the morning: "It only took me half a day to get to White Crow Valley for hunting, but now it actually takes a day and a half?!"
Those noble ladies and ladies with delicate skin and tender flesh did not dare to coddle him, and followed him obediently, without daring to say a word of complaint.
The team that originally planned to arrive in the evening arrived before noon.
In White Crow Valley, except for the town located at the entrance to the forest at the foot of the mountain, there are almost no traces of human life elsewhere. Hunting is also strict here, and all prey in the hunting ground belongs to the king.
Li Qi ate something casually and changed into his equipment.
He did not hold a bow and arrow, although his archery skills were very good, at least better than 95% of the nobles present.
Li Qi only took a few long javelins and a few short javelins. He was going to hunt a dozen small animals at will and then stopped. He was here on behalf of the East Gorge. It would not look good if he didn't get anything.
After entering the White Crow Valley, Reacher and Bode acted together, while Kunbo had to follow little George because of the task of accompanying the prince to study.
They deliberately walked behind. With the abilities of two extraordinary beings, it was easy to hunt. Instead, they had to be more restrained and not too showy.
"Woof woof!" Boer II's hunting dogs rushed out first, while Boer II laughed and followed on horseback, followed by a group of nobles.
A mighty group of people, who didn't know it, thought they were going to charge and attack the city.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Qi and Bode's team were left, and they slowly entered the White Crow Valley.
After walking for a long time, I didn't see any prey. It was probably because Boer II's group made too much noise and scared away the prey.
"There's something!"
"A deer!"
A tall and strong stag had a broken antler on its head. The broken antlers were as sharp as a sharpened spear, glowing with cold light.
If you get stabbed, you will definitely die.
Li Qi and Bode looked at each other and turned around on horseback with a tacit understanding. Only the king can hunt deer. This is an unwritten rule.
The deer looked at them as they walked away in confusion. His ears suddenly twitched as if he heard something, and he ran towards the other side...
"There's a squirrel!" Bode quickly drew his bow.
But Li Qi's javelin was faster. The javelin thrown by him with pure physical strength spanned the space and nailed the squirrel to the tree trunk with the sound of rushing wind.
The tail of the short javelin was still shaking.
Bode put down his bow and arrow and watched his subordinate Carrot climb up the tree and take down the prey and javelin: "Okay, your prey."
"Throw it away." Li Qi took the javelin and said to Carrot at the same time: "It's not enough to eat even if you take this thing back."
Hunting is an enjoyable process, but if anyone counts squirrels as prey, they will be laughed at and cowardly by other nobles.
The biggest prey in the mountains and forests is deer, and no one cares about it. However, during large-scale celebration hunting events, only kings can hunt deer.
Next is the wild boar, which is more ferocious than the deer, so those who can hunt wild boars are considered warriors.
"There's grouse!"
Li Qi and Bode took action almost at the same time. There was a movement in the distance. The two men's retinues rushed over at the same time. When they came back, they both held a grouse with arrows and javelins on it. The difference was Li Qi's javelin. The arrow pierced the grouse's wing, but the arrow penetrated the grouse's head.
"Think of it as your prey," Li Qi said, "But his head was shot. Do you know how delicious chicken heads are?"
"Chicken head? What do you eat?" Bode looked disgusted.
"I've said it before," Li Qi couldn't help but say: "Chicken hearts, chicken livers, chicken kidneys, so many good things, you actually feed them to dogs, it's a waste!"
The disgust on Bode's face was even more obvious. He couldn't stand eating offal.
"You will understand when I take you to taste it once. You will regret not eating those delicacies, believe me."
"I'd rather be sorry."
The two continued to go deeper.
Li Qi's touch was good. He didn't take it seriously, but he harvested more and more. There were nearly twenty grouse, foxes, hares, etc. in total, and Bode also hunted nearly ten.
No less deep in the valley, the roaring of the hounds did not stop, obviously there was some big prey.
Soon they found out.
Several soldiers came out from the depths carrying a wild boar.
"King, I hunted a wild boar!"
"Long live the king!"
"Blessed by the four gods!"
"Blessings from the Four Gods!"
The crowd was excited, cheering for the king's sword. Li Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. The king is so powerful, and it seems that he still has many years to live, and will not hand over power to little George in the short term.
A hunt really can mean a lot of things.
"what!"
Someone screamed.
Li Qi and Bode rushed over on horseback, and saw a deer rushing out, and its sharp severed horns penetrated into the chest and heart of Boer II, sending him flying.
The undefeated golden bear Boer II fell to the ground, his body twitched twice and stopped moving.
The king is dead?
Everyone present was stunned.
"Something's wrong!" Li Qi looked at the deer, which was the deer with broken antlers that he and Bode had encountered before.
After killing Boer II, the hornless deer did not escape. Instead, it froze in place, cocking its ears as if listening to something.
"Yo~yo~" A deer roared in the distance.
More than a dozen arrows flew in and shot the deer down. The deer struggled for a few times and became silent.
