Chapter 5: The First Cooperation

"Well, are you familiar with this place?"

Aya Maki chattered all the way, following behind X like a sparrow, saying trivial things, and it was clear that she wanted to have a good relationship with X.

Who knows what the specific reason is, but X doesn't care, he just needs someone to help him in his current weak period. Aya Maki is by the way.

"Unfamiliar."

X answered her quietly, his voice low.

At first, he thought it was the same jungle as before.

However, after carefully looking for the mark he left last time and the hidden place he had prepared in advance, he was gone.

In other words, although this place is very similar to the jungle from the previous time, it is completely different.

Then, you can't use the original way of processing.

From the beginning, how to survive in the forest is a matter of common sense for the survival of the two of them.

"Hey, but you seem to have been here once, and you went very smoothly?"

"I'm trained in forest combat."

X said as he sliced tiny branches with his dagger.

A qualified military knife is very helpful to survive in the forest. It's a pity that if you use it to chop wood, it's very troublesome, and you don't know what you'll encounter in the future, so you should save as much magic as possible, so the small branches that can be cut by the dagger should be collected at will.

To survive in the wilderness, fire, and water are all things that must be guaranteed. The former guarantees food and warmth, the latter and drinking water. When resting, well-trained assassins will be able to rest on the branches of the trees.

"Well, why are you cutting down trees?"

Aya asked with a cute face, now she seems to be a curious baby, and she wants to know everything.

What's even more terrifying is ......

X saw only sincerity in her gaze......

In other words...... She...... I really don't know how to survive in the wild......

Come to think of it, it is normal for ordinary magicians to use magic and martial arts, and they will study how to survive in the wild, which is really rare.

"Prepare firewood. Prepare for the fire. ”

He replied, pointing with a gesture of his hand, and continued, "Look at the small ones, cut them down." Preserve mana, stamina, and blade sharpness. ”

"Understood!"

Aya Maki giggled, stood upright, and made a rather comical military salute pose.

It's not too difficult to make a fire, just use a random fire magic trick to solve it. However, the food is very debatable.

In the jungle, the first priority is definitely near streams, rivers and other watersheds.

However, almost all of them will lock on to this kind of place, the goal is too big. Now the advantage of the two of them is the time advantage of being the first to get out in that life-and-death battle. Sure enough, it shouldn't be consumed too much there.

X silently surveys his surroundings.

The closer you get to the flowing water, the denser the vegetation becomes, and the rhizomes of the plants stretch in the direction of the water source. As long as you can roughly determine the direction and find the target.

Prioritize ensuring the supply of water, and then ...... Wild animals tend to like to roost near water.

In the case of fish, it is too sensitive, and without the right tools, catching fish is a very troublesome thing. It is better to look for beasts that drink water.

"Huh? Seems like you know this place well, don't you? ”

Aya Maki asked the question again, which didn't change.

"I don't understand. I'm just judging by common sense. ”

X said this coldly, continuing to search for the location of the water source.

Seeing that he was so uncooperative, she could only pout and follow him dissatisfied.

There were no superfluous words in the actions of the two, and they acted together quietly.

Sure enough, following X's speculated route, he quickly found a stream and filled the kettle, and it only took 3 days to survive, and all that remained was to find the marked location and prey.

This Peugeot point, probably many people feel confused, however, for people here, it is the simplest reminder.

They came by helicopter.

The helicopter wants to land, there are too many conditions.

First of all, the terrain should be open.

Second, the land should be hard.

In this case, it is much more convenient to find a sparse clearing in the jungle, whether it is jumping to the top of a tree, climbing high and looking into the distance, or judging the growth pattern of vegetation according to the land, it is an excellent way to confirm the growth of vegetation.

There was no sign of wild beasts by the stream, which is probably not a coincidence. However, X soon finds the spot from the ground where the beast often drinks.

"Before, you said that you were grateful that I solved a person for you, right?"

Suddenly, X took the initiative to speak.

This is a good sign, and Aya Maki wants to hurry up.

"That's right! How how! Do you want me to repay the favor~?! In Japan, it is the crane that repays the favor! ”

Aya Makiri's face was happy, X could only sigh, and said silently: "I'll find a suitable place to set up a camp, and you go find something to eat." Beasts or wild fruits, it's up to you. ”

"Oooh! That, how can I find you after I find it? ”

Aya Maki stroked her arms, and was about to make a look full of energy, when she immediately thought of this embarrassing question.

"I'm the first to solve the battle, and the battle of those people will take a while, and I will make a fire when I find a suitable place, and after the fire is lit, you can find the fireworks."

"Uh-huh!!"

Aya Maki said yes and went back in a hurry.

X continues to look for a place to set up camp.

First, stay away from water sources.

First, it must be the focus of the enemy's patrol, although everyone is relatively balanced, but who knows if they will do something from behind?

Moreover, close to water sources, it is often easy to breed mosquitoes, and in the jungle, mosquitoes often carry deadly viruses, and once they enter the human body, they will soon cause various human diseases...... That's more than worth the cost.

Then, look for a place that is not open. Beware of ambushes from others.

Killers are like that, and no one can be trusted.

As for Ayaya Makiri, as soon as X runs out of her section, he will abandon her and go to find the marker point himself.

Now he seems to have a ball of hot coals in his body, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Searching for a place in pain, he made a simple bonfire by piling up the branches and igniting them with a small section of fire magic.

Quietly watching the flames rise, in order to pass the time, X slowly guessed why Aya Maki paid so much attention to herself.

If you want to talk about the reason, probably, the biggest possibility is to find a backer.

But this doesn't make logical sense.

Because it is impossible for him to let her go, he can only survive one person in the end, and he is also her enemy.

Then, she has a secret method that must be able to overcome herself.

It's quite possible. After all, Aya Makiri is an outsider, and no one knows how many things she will have.

If you can't do it, what secret methods are there, who can say clearly? X can only say that he tried his best to train and try not to be killed by that guy as much as possible.

But what about other than that? Is there any other possibility?

The reason for pestering yourself......

He didn't understand the outside world at all, and naturally, he couldn't speculate about the affairs of the Kiriri family.

If it can be combined with Aya's family, or, he can be a little more mature, probably, you can know, right?

It's a pity that there aren't so many assumptions in this world.

The secret of the Maki family, he doesn't know, as the birth of the association killer, he only knows how to kill.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the forest.

It's the sound of something approaching quickly.

Moreover, it is a behemoth......

Crash

Aya's camouflage uniform sprang out of the forest, and the faces of the panicked women were covered with the words "Teach me quickly".

And behind her, a huge boar is rushing towards Ayaya Maki with its sharp fangs......

(This woman...... It's really going to make people find trouble! )

X only felt that his head was going to be big, obviously hoping that this guy could help him a little, why did he find such a big thing for himself instead!

"What's the situation!"

"Wow wow, I'm being chased by it! Help me! ”

Akira Makiri's call for help, behind her, the fierce wild boar also showed a hot red gaze, as if there were faint traces of blood spreading, piercing fangs, the wild boar's four hooves smashed the ground, and rushed towards the two!!

Tut...... What a hassle......

Disaster is coming, even if X is no matter what, he has to get it......

Really......

"Support me with magic, kill it with multi-bar chanting."

Before he had time to think about it, X gave the order, and one charged sideways, grazing the boar's waist and dodging away, the sharp blade leaving a shallow cut in the boar's sturdy fur.

After all, it is a creature that runs in the forest all year round, and if its body is always scratched by the forest leaves, it will give birth to strong flesh and skin over the years. The effect of this knife had no effect on its life, but the pain caused it to be angry, chasing after X, and had to give him a blow.

This is also the purpose of X, to give Aya Maki enough time to win.

Watching her clasp her hands together and chant the words, the brilliance of magic appeared around her, and the ripples of magic spread out one by one, enveloping his whole person, and in her palm, condensed into a liquid aggregate, and the fluctuations of the water color condensed into a knife-like structure.

The magic attribute of the Makiri family is water, and the water itself lacks attack power, so it is necessary to change the water into an easily attacking form. In fact, in modern science, in terms of cutting power, it has long been not steel, but high-pressure waterjets. If the water is given enough pressure, then it can cut through steel, and with the help of the power of the Demon Dao, it will naturally burst out with quite terrifying power, and it will kill the opponent with one blow, and a wild boar will naturally not be a problem.

Looking back now, although the wild boar is an omnivorous animal, it is obviously unnatural to chase a person so persistently. Thinking of the gesture of red eyes, thinking of a certain rider in the future......

I'm afraid, everything is calculated. As X vaguely speculated, Aya Makiri, did fall in love with him from the beginning.

The evil relationship between the two people began here.
