Amidst endless green fields as far as the eye can see.
A young man wearing an animal skin waistcoat with a bow and arrows hanging on his back was lying in the grass, carefully pushing aside the branches and leaves in front of him to explore forward.
The boy's skin was slightly dark, and he looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his body was exceptionally strong, and the bulging muscles of his arms were engraved with the symbol of a seven-pointed star.
At this moment, the young man looked at the adult stag not far away that was far away from the group and was eating weeds on the ground with his head lowered, and his breathing was slightly rapid.
If you can successfully hunt it and even peel off a complete deer skin, and then exchange it for money for the caravan passing through the village, you may be able to exchange it for a month's rations for the family.
However, when the young man was breathing rapidly and thinking wildly, he saw that the stag seemed to have noticed something and raised its head with some vigilance.
"Oops."
When the young man saw this scene, his heart tightened slightly and he quickly held his breath. He knew that these creatures were very vigilant and would scare them away at the slightest disturbance.
"Hey, Bessie."
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a big face suddenly stretched out in front of the young man's eyes, which frightened the young man lying in the grass and his heart almost stopped.
Wow——
The grass here swayed slightly and made noise, and the stag grazing leisurely on the other side barely hesitated for a second and ran away.
The man was startled and the prey ran away.
The young man named Bessie was so angry that he almost lost his breath. He grabbed his friend by the collar and roared loudly into his ears.
"Mil, you bastard!"
The young man named Mir who had just played a prank covered his ears and begged for mercy. He felt that his ears were going to be deafened by the roar of his companions.
"Bessie, I was wrong, I really didn't see it just now..."
But when two teenagers were fighting.
Roar!!
A deafening roar erupted from the jungle on the other side.
A beast with black stripes on its fur suddenly rushed out of the woods and pounced at the stag that had just run away.
"This is..."
The two teenagers who were fighting with each other were stunned when they saw this scene. Their hands froze in place and did not dare to move.
It turns out that just when Bessie was eyeing the stag that strayed far away from the group, another terrifying predator was also eyeing it.
Just now, the fight between Bessie and Mil alarmed the stag, who turned around and ran away. The beast mistakenly thought it was exposed, so it chased away.
"It's...Shadow Lynx!"
Although this beast is extremely fast, the young Bessie, who has a seven-pointed star engraved on his arm, instantly recognized the true identity of this beast.
It is actually an extremely rare shadow lynx that usually lives in mountainous terrain. The fur of this precious beast is very valuable.
On the other side, Mil, the young man who had just played a prank, had a look of horror on his face and grabbed his companion's arm.
"Hey, Bessie, I just saved you!"
Shadow lynxes are not easy to mess with, although shadow lynxes will not attack humans unless they are very hungry.
But the opponent is still one of the overlords in the mountain forest. He is strong, ferocious, and extremely fast. His claws are extremely sharp, and he can also climb trees.
As long as you are targeted by it in mountainous terrain, there is almost no way to survive.
And the shadow lynx just now was also eyeing the stag. If his companion Bessie hunted the deer without knowing it, and the pair of faint eyes were still hiding in the darkness and quietly observing, then
I'm afraid that what awaits Bessie next will be an extremely miserable fate.
The young man Mil was not that courageous. When he saw this shadow lynx jumping out of the darkness, his legs felt a little weak.
However, another young boy, Bessie, was speechless. He looked at the figures that were chasing and disappearing. He didn't know what he was thinking and gritted his teeth slightly.
He knew very well that the fur of the shadow lynx was very, very valuable, and if he could successfully hunt it...
Bessie's family is somewhat miserable, and he lives in a village not far away where the Andals gather.
Not long ago, my father went to a nearby town to sell things and was robbed by members of the Brotherhood when he was returning. The body was discovered a few days later and was brought back to the village for burial.
The father who was the backbone of the family fell down, and now Bessie's family really needs money...
"Chase!"
The young Bessie gritted his teeth, then finally made up his mind, and chased the shadow lynx and the stag in the direction they fled.
"Hey, Bessie! What are you doing!"
When his companion Mir saw this, he could only stamp his feet fiercely and then chased after him. He could not let his companion chase the ferocious shadow lynx alone.
The stag ran in front and got into the jungle, and the shadow lynx also chased in. The forest was the home of this beast. Two teenagers also chased in.
I don't know how long it took to run out, but the shadow lynx had long since disappeared.
The two teenagers chased the traces left on the ground, still searching hard and unwilling to give up.
"I must not give up, I need this money."
The young man gritted his teeth tightly and tried hard to chase the traces left by the shadow lynx.
Ahead we will emerge from the jungle again.
However, at this moment, Bessie seemed to vaguely hear voices outside the jungle not far away...
"Prince Oberyn's spear skills are really good."
"A man actually killed a shadow lynx without any injuries."
Several knights in armor tied their horses to the tree trunks, holding the hilts of their swords with one hand and making comments. Looking at the shadow lynx that had just died on the ground, blood was still flowing from the wound, and the body was not even there yet.
stiff.
Not far away, there were more than a hundred Targaryen soldiers scattered around. Some were sitting on the grass, while others were standing there and looking at the situation here.
Just now, a shadow lynx suddenly rushed out for some unknown reason and seemed to want to attack Oberyn who was eating. Then, the Prince of Dorne grabbed the spear he had at hand and killed it directly.
The tip of the spear penetrated the throat from the sloping back upwards and directly nailed the male shadow lynx to the ground.
Oberyn himself seemed very calm, and seemed not to hear the praises of others. He wiped the blood on the tip of the spear with the sole of his boot, and then took off a dagger wrapped in animal skin from his waist.
Then he skillfully inserted the dagger directly into the belly of the shadow lynx, and then slashed downwards, directly opening the belly of the prey.
puff--
In an instant, blood gushed out as if it was free of charge.
Oberyn had been among mercenaries in the past, so he was very familiar with trimming fur.
And at this time.
No one noticed that there were two pairs of frightened eyes looking at them in the jungle not far away.
