Chapter 1,306: The divine creation that the hunter cares about
Ananu and Enkidu wandered in the forest of Uruk together.
This place is very new to them.
Different from being repulsed and disgusted by the birds and beasts when we first arrived in the forest of Enlil, the beasts and birds here like them very much - although the birds and beasts here are basically without intelligence.
A flying bird took advantage of Ananu to stay where he was and built a nest on the antlers of Ananu and laid eggs in it.
But when Ananu started to move, he threw out the bird's nest and the eggs inside, and then left without looking back.
Here, they can get close to wild animals as much as they want. After walking for a period of time, antelopes and cattle will even come over to eat the moss growing on them.
However, some unpleasant things will happen.
This is the forest of Uruk, which is considered the territory of Uruk.
Naturally, there will be humans coming here to carry out activities.
A hunter spotted them.
The hunter looked at these two strange animals with antlers from a distance and swallowed.
He had never seen such a huge and beautiful animal.
These two animals look similar, but their colors are different. One has a dull bright yellow color, just like the old leaves of a fir tree; while the other one has patterns on its body like new young leaves.
It's the same, light green, also like emerald green, maybe because of the light, the hunter can't see clearly.
Because the yellow one always involuntarily protects the green one.
Is it a mother-son relationship, or a brother-sister relationship...?
The hunter speculates on the relationship between the two beasts.
But no matter what kind of concern it is, it still makes his hunter's heart ready to move.
No one in Uruk has ever hunted such a beast!
If he can hunt such a beast, then supreme glory and honor will belong to him!
He would be described as as powerful as a bull - a description that only belongs to gods and King Gilgamesh!
However, despite the hunter's expectations, he still retains some sense.
These two beasts are huge, even bigger than brown bears, so even if the hunter prides himself on being a strong man, he would not dare to fight such beasts.
He needs to think long term...
...
Ananu and Enkidu were wandering in the forest as usual.
Although God has given his order, but...
No rush, no need to rush.
After all, they don't know where humans are, right?
There is no guidance from the gods, which means that the gods are not in a hurry - at least Enki is not in a hurry.
As for Utu who created them, he has never contacted them.
So much so that Ananu and Enkidu didn't know that Utu had created them.
Wandering, walking with wild beasts, becoming a resting place for birds, and observing the lives of wild beasts.
Although boring, clay figurines are inherently boring, so there is no harm in doing so.
Until they encountered something strange.
boom--!
Enkidu was walking normally when he suddenly stepped on a soft spot.
Then the soft place collapsed instantly, and Enkidu, who was stepping on it, also fell down.
Enkidu fell into the pit, and because of his heavy weight, he was slapped into a puddle at the bottom of the pit.
But this level alone won't make Enkidu lose his life - it's just mud.
【Enkidu? What's wrong with you? 】
He asked Enkidu at the bottom of the pit with his senses. For some reason, Ananu felt a little...
Annoyed?
【I'm fine, Ananu.】
Enkidu reunited, but the voice in the soul that responded to Ananu clearly had some doubts.
Why is there a deep pit here?
But these are all minor issues.
As mud, Enkidu easily climbed up from the pit of more than ten meters and re-fixed his appearance.
【Ananu, what happened? 】
Enkidu, who had re-fixed his appearance, looked at Ananu with some doubts. The colors on Ananu's body were changing, as if there were some fluctuations in his soul.
[Nothing, just this...is it hurting you, or us? 】
Ananu used his cylindrical forelimbs to point to the deep pit that was obviously not right, and said to Enkidu during the communication of souls.
【Not sure, let's go.】
Enkidu didn't care about this, because these things couldn't hurt it at all.
In this way, Ananu and Enkidu continued to walk away, leaving behind this big hole that was obviously a trap.
And the next day...
The hunter came back here, and he came back with full confidence.
He spent several days to find out the areas where the two beasts moved and the routes they must pass, and then spent several more days digging such a big pit.
This is a trap specially prepared for those two beasts, and only those two beasts can trigger it.
At this depth, those two beasts are absolutely——
With such a confident thought, the hunter lay down on the edge of the pit and looked towards the bottom of the pit.
but--
No.
"well?"
The hunter was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes and took another look.
Indeed not.
The trap has obviously been triggered, but there is no trace of prey in the trap.
If you look closely, there are no signs of prey struggling in the trap.
The hunter was confused.
He clearly designed the trap specifically according to the huge size of the two beasts. Except for the two beasts standing directly on it, nothing else could trigger the trap.
So one of the two beasts must have stepped on it and fell down.
But why is there no prey in the pit? There may even be traces of the prey struggling, but there are no traces of the prey climbing up!
There was only one hole, almost the same as the one he dug.
What's going on...
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a cold air coming from behind him...
"what!?"
He quickly took his longbow off his back and looked behind him warily.
Then he saw two antlers in the bushes.
Huge, white patterned antlers.
"——Oh my God————!!!"
Looking at the huge figure standing up slowly from the bushes, even a seasoned hunter's heart could not help but beat wildly.
He was so frightened that he took a step back involuntarily.
Suddenly, the hunter was startled by the feeling of stepping into the air.
