“...... You're welcome, you're welcome. ”

The man smiled and waved his hand,

“...... Boy, go down this road first, and we'll have to go a little further and collect some fungus. ”

"Thank you, brother, you're busy. ”

Lian Ge smiled slightly and thanked him again.

The man waved his hand again, and with the child next to him, who was curiously staring at the little mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, he continued to walk in the forest in front of him.

“...... Just this fungus, do you think you can eat it?"

“...... Yes. ”

“...... You can eat a fart, when did you eat it in the house? I just told you something, don't touch it if you haven't eaten......"

“...... Look at this fungus again......"

......

Seeing that the man was holding a sickle, squatting down from time to time, and gradually walking away with the boy with the backpack next to him,

Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked into the distance, and then moved his steps, not following the path that had been stepped out of the mountain, he chose a random direction, continued to pass under the mountain forest, and walked forward.

......

“...... Whoa......"

“...... Ugh. ”

The branches and leaves of the shrubs blocking the way kept moving out of the way in front of Lian Ge to the sides, and under the collision of branches and leaves, there was a sound of rustling.

Lian Ge moved his steps, stepping on the rotten leaves under the forest and walking forward,

From time to time, some mist escaped from under the rotten leaves, and then dissipated.

Gradually moving forward, under the feet, the rotten leaves accumulated on the ground under the forest are getting thicker, and on the side, the mountains and forests are becoming more and more dense, the branches and leaves are becoming denser, and there are fewer and fewer human tracks.

The dense branches and leaves shaded the sky and the sun, and the sun that had gradually risen to the sky was blocked, and only some barely passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves, shining under the mountains and forests.

From time to time, the animal that was only hiding in the bushes jumped up and ran towards the distance, and from time to time the eyes were cold, lying dormant on the vine tree, waiting for the opportunity to hunt the poisonous snake after Lian Ge walked by, and hurriedly fled into the distance.

From time to time, some birds that hide among the branches and leaves of the trees rise and fall again under the disturbance of the branches and leaves, and leap lightly, looking around, on the ground, looking for food.

Moving his feet forward, while walking, Lian Ge looked at the scene along the way,

On his shoulder, he was still holding the mouse that had picked the wild fruit from the tree before, and from time to time he buried his head and nibbled on the wild fruit, and from time to time he raised his head and looked down to the side.

......

"Whoa......

The sun began to set in the west, and the continuous mountains and forests became a little darker.

Passing under the mountain forest again, and walking through the mountains, Lian Ge stopped again, and the branches and leaves of the bushes that were separated on both sides of his body also stopped.

Turning around, Lian Ge glanced at the side in the distance,

On his shoulder, the mouse also turned his head and looked to the side.

“...... Knock Knock...... Crash...... Whoa......"

Some dull movement sounded from there, and a group of about a dozen wild boars rushed over from a distance.

Along the way, I passed through some shrubs and knocked down some trees that were not very thin.

It seemed that something was chasing after them, which made the wild boar herd a little panicked, and it didn't make many turns all the way, and just crashed into it.

“...... Boom, crackle......"

Looking at this group of wild boars that broke a small tree trunk again and rushed to the front of them,

Lian Ge turned his gaze, calmed down, and looked at the leading wild boar,

“...... Whoa!"

The leading wild boar looked at Lian Ge, followed closely, and stopped the action of colliding with him.

Then he was even more panicked, and turned another corner directly, crashed into the side of the bush, and took the pigs with him, panicked all the way, rushed to the side, and fled.

......

Seeing the group of wild boars rushing in the mountains and forests, gradually running away, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced in the direction that the group of wild boars had fled before, and paused.

“...... Squeak, squeak. ”

On his shoulder, the mouse stood up on its forelegs, turned its head, looked in the direction where the wild boars had run away, and barked twice.

"It's not tasty. ”

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge spoke, then moved his feet away, and walked in the direction where the group of wild boars had fled before.

Hearing this, the mouse turned his head back, lowered his forelimbs again, and lay down on Lian Ge's shoulder.

......

Following the clear path left by the previous group of wild boars when they fled, Lian Ge walked forward,

It seems that the collision of the previous group of wild boars scared away the nearby animals and birds along the way.

Along the way, there was some quiet on all sides, only the sound of some fresh wind disturbing the branches and leaves sounded from time to time.

......

"Sassy ......"

Stopping again, the path left by the wild boar rampage had come to an end.

His side became quieter, and the few sounds of insects and birds that had been chirping before were gone.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked around, and there was a scene similar to other places in this continuous mountain forest,

Dense foliage, overgrown with grass and trees,

But the animals around them were disturbed by something, and fled from here,

The ground with rotting leaves under his feet seems to have been ravaged by something, and it looks a little messy.

On Lian Ge's shoulder, the little mouse also turned his head and looked at the four sides,

Turning his gaze back, Lian Ge glanced in front of him,

Not far in front of him, there were clusters of bushes, and there was no wind in all directions, but the bushes swayed gently.

“...... Roar!"

At this moment, a roar sounded, and a somewhat colossal figure rushed out from the side, rushed between Lian Ge and the bushes, and roared at Lian Ge.

It's just that the roar is a little weak.

This is a wounded tigress, leaning back, her hind paws on the ground, her front paws firmly grasping the ground, sitting and hunting.

opened his mouth and roared at Lian Ge, his eyes mixed with some anger, staring at Lian Ge vigilantly,

It seems that he is about to pounce on Lian Ge in the next second.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the tigress that was close at hand and roaring at him,

The tigress's fur was stained with blood and scratches, and there were two large wounds on her abdomen, which were constantly dripping blood and dripping onto the dirt.

Looking at the two wounds, Lian Ge paused, then turned his gaze back, looked at the tigress's face, and looked at her,

“...... Roar, roar ......"

The angry roar roared at Lian Ge again, roaring, and the tigress's front paws moved on the ground, as if trying to scare Lian Ge away.

"Don't be nervous, I just happened to be passing through here. You should be able to understand what I mean. ”

Looking at the tigress's eyes, her tone was calm, and Lian Ge said something out loud.

On Lian Ge's shoulder, the mouse stood up on his forelegs, turned his head, and looked at the tigress.

“...... Roar!"

The tigress roared at Lian Ge again, her paws clawed on the ground, her body leaning back, and her eyes were still vigilant.

Glancing at the tigress again, Lian Ge raised his hand and waved it at the tigress.

The tigress's roar stopped, looked at Lian Ge, looked at the mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, and gradually straightened up again.

Immediately after, the tigress first turned her head and looked at the bushes that were still swaying slightly, and then there was some pain in her eyes.

He lowered his head again and looked at the wound in his abdomen.

turned his head again and looked at Lian Ge,

“...... Roar...... Roar ......"

Towards Lian Ge, the tigress roared one after another, and the roar was like a burst of wail,

Under the eyes of the tigress, some tears gradually welled up, puffing,

The forelimbs gradually bent, and the tigress knelt down towards Lian Ge, slowly lowering her head,

“...... Roar...... Roar ......"

Pleading, the tigress knelt in front of Lian Ge.

......

Turning his gaze, he glanced at the bush that had been guarded by the tigress all along.

Retracting his gaze again, Lian Ge glanced at the injured tigress who was kneeling in front of him, begging over and over again.

Under the eyes of the sky, the tigress is surrounded by a full spiritual essence, which is already almost a demon.

It's just that its vitality is also rapidly dissipating, fading, and it is already dying.
