Chapter 11: Touch
Arms, unresponsive, shoulders, unresponsive, back, unresponsive, chest, unresponsive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info knew that El's tiny hand slid down Duge's back, and when she touched Duge's tail, she clearly felt that Duge had hit a spirit.
"What are you doing?"
Du Ge, who was focused on reading, finally turned his head and looked at Erwei who was holding him expressionlessly. I couldn't see any expression of joy and sorrow, which made Al Wei feel a little worried in his heart, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said:
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ā
Du Ge ignored her and continued to read, but his long tail suddenly flicked, wrapping around Erwei's eyes and pulling back. Unprepared, Elwei suddenly fell off the root of the tree and fell backwards.
Puff ~ "Oops!"
Erwei screamed and fell to the ground, rubbing her sore head, and she sat down beside Duge again. After observing Duge for a moment, and finding that he didn't react, Erwei stretched out his little hand again, and hugged Duge at the same time, and his little head came and went on Duge's body.
It's just that she didn't notice that the tic-tac-toe characters on Du Ge's head kept popping up.
At the end, when El's tiny hand stretched down his abdomen, Dogo couldn't hold back any longer. A roll of books in his hand formed a cylinder and slapped on Elwei's head with a snap.
"Have you made enough trouble?!"
Er Wei screamed and sat on the ground again, covering his beaten head, looking at Du Ge pitifully, thinking aggrievedly: "Why is it different from what my mother said..."
"Rest enough and go. ā
Du Ge put away the book, and pulled up Erwei with a roll of his tail and went on the road again. This time, however, he began to deliberately observe the plants around him, collecting some plant seeds as he went.
Drilling all the way through the mountains and forests, Du Ge also carefully touched the traces of action and collected plants, and it was very tiring to walk all the way. It wasn't until the golden sunset covered the forest with a golden coat that the two men who walked to a stream decided to stop. Drop your bags and start the fire before nightfall.
"What's going to eat tonight?"
El Wei's ears were straight, and his shiny eyes were full of anticipation as he looked at Du Ge.
"Fish ......"
Du Ge's voice was weak, but today he was resisting his backpack and walking in front of him to open the way. I'm really tired enough.
A bonfire was lit and a branch sharpened to make a spear.
The moon had not yet risen, and the whole forest was pitch black, and the night wind was howling, bringing a hint of coolness. Du Ge took the torch and led Erwei to the stream, and in the dim light of the torch, the crystal clear water of the stream looked sparkling.
Creatures are phototaxis, and torches are great for seducing fish in the dark.
The two of them went barefoot into the water, and the sun shone during the day, and the stream turned over with a little warmth at this moment.
After successfully stabbing two large fish, Du Ge took out the internal organs on the spot and disposed of them, and the two returned to the campfire.
"How do you catch fish, do you have a fishery?" After applying the spices, Duge put the fish on the fire and began to ask about some of the Elwei tribes.
"Catch fish...... It is to use a fork to insert fish, and several tribes on the seashore catch fish for a living, but the yield is too low, and the tribesmen can't eat enough at all, and many times they need our relief. And we can't make boats, we can only make simple rafts, and we can't go to sea. The cats have shipbuilding skills, but that's their secret. I won't show anyone what I say. ā
"Do you know how to make fishing nets?"
"What's that?"
"Forget it, I'll make one for you when you go back to the tribe. ā
Du Ge flipped the fish interspersed on the branches, and concentrated on grilling the fish, and the rich aroma continued to spread. Alwei stared intently from the sidelines, drooling as he watched. From time to time, he pulled the tail of Duge and urged him to hurry up.
At night, the two waning moons rise again. A faint moonlight spilled into the forest, shining on Duge's body. Duge once again felt a faint surge of energy into his body, converging towards his right shoulder. Knowing that there is an upper limit of absorption, Du Ge is too lazy to deliberately control it, allowing his body to absorb the energy of the moonlight freely.
The fish is grilled, one for each person, and this time Duge can be regarded as a beautiful feast.
While eating, Duge asked about some of the tribes in Elwei. Although he stayed in the fox tribe for a month, there were some things that he could not access as the original owner of the body.
The status of the fox clan in the orc alliance is considered to be upper-middle, and it does not belong to the main clan. The area is not very large, but this area contains a lot of terrain. It encompasses a stretch of coastline, parts of the Black Rock Mountains, a large area of primeval forest known as the Magic Light Forest, and most importantly, a part of the Gorda Plains.
The Gorda Plain has fertile black soil, but the fox tribe who do not know how to grow uses this land to develop animal husbandry and raise livestock.
Despite this, this area is still an important food base for the fox people.
Elwei's tribe is called the Silverblood Tribe, named after the surname of the fox royal family. It is the largest tribe in the region, with a population of about 30,000. It is located at the junction of the Black Rock Mountains and the Gorda Plains. Other fox tribes are scattered in the area ruled by the fox tribe, with a total population of more than 100,000 scattered and scattered. Most tribes still rely on hunting for their livelihoods, and few large tribes can develop animal husbandry.
Therefore, the main food of the fox tribe is meat and some wild vegetables.
"I can't eat enough, let alone develop. ā
After some inquiry, Du Ge found that the fox clan was not optimistic now, and the entire race was still struggling with food and clothing.
It seems that there are too many opportunities for the development of the fox clan. Plains can be cultivated on a large scale, the coastline can be used for fishing and trade, and mountain areas are generally mineralized. The primeval forest is a great treasure trove, rich in species resources.
After some small talk, it was late at night, and he wrapped a blanket for Elwei, who was asleep. Du Ge checked the absorption of the ability in his body, and found that the absorption had stopped, and when he opened the panel, Du Ge was shocked.
The progress has reached 31 percent, which is almost four times the amount of energy absorbed yesterday! If this continues, it will not take a few days to reach 100 percent.
Closing the panel, Wataru curled up beside Elwei, the nights of spring and summer were still a little cold. The long tail spared a few laps on his body, and Du Ge rubbed the tip of his tail back and forth, and sighed: "It's good to have a long tail~ You can use it as a blanket." ā
But soon Du Ge rubbed his hands again and squeezed Erwei on the side, he still felt a little cold. Leaning against Erwei's side, Duge fell asleep.
ā¦ā¦
The early morning sun shone on Du Ge's face, and the warmth licked his cheeks.
His pores were stretched out, and it was so comfortable that he was reluctant to get up. Despite his slight movements, he felt himself holding a soft, hot thing.
Feeling strange, Du Ge opened his eyes and saw Elwei's pretty face close at hand.
Shui Lingling's big eyes were closed, and Du Ge could clearly see her long eyelashes. There is a hint of pink on her fair cheeks, and her thin cherry lips are slightly open, revealing the teeth hidden inside. In the bright morning sun, the whole person was plated with a layer of milky white light.
Looking at the blankets wrapped around the two of them, Duge immediately understood what was happening. couldn't help but smile with relief, hugged Erwei in his arms, and enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of this difficulty.
Maybe...... That's what I wanted......
Duge squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.
After a short while, Elwei also woke up.
"Song of the Crossing ...... Morning~" Al rubbed his sleepy eyes slightly and got up. Du Ge didn't answer, smiled softly at her, got up to pack her things, and prepared breakfast.
Erwei was stunned, and it was the first time she had seen a smile like Du Ge. Gentle, sunny, with a bit of indifference and comfort. "It's so pretty...... It would be nice to have a little more......"
For breakfast, the two ate some dry food, did not communicate much, and continued to embark on the journey of escape.
Now, it's not safe.
Watari walked ahead, waving his sword to clear the way, and Elwei pulled Wataruga's tail after him.
Emerging from a bush and into a clearing, Duge gasped tiredly. The two of them had been gone for a long time, and it was almost time to rest.
As soon as he sat down at the root of a tree in the clearing, he keenly noticed that something was wrong with his surroundings.
It's quiet, it's too quiet, there are no insects or birds. There was not even a rumor, and the whole world seemed to be forbidden.
In this dense jungle, it is impossible for such a dead silence to occur naturally. Du Ge carefully looked at the surrounding terrain, and the two of them were in a clearing at the moment, surrounded by dense bushes, and the turquoise leaves were blocked by layers, and nothing could be seen clearly.
This kind of terrain is suitable for ambushes.
Duge, who had calmed down, also felt a heavy and cold aura permeating the surroundings. After countless battles, he quickly understood what that aura was. That is the killing intent and flesh that can only be slowly accumulated after experiencing killing.
"Damn! careless......"
Du Ge cursed in his heart, took a deep breath, put down his backpack, took out the bow and crossbow, and stuffed it into Erwei's hand. Then he put his arms around her and whispered in her ear:
"Be smart, depending on the situation. If the situation is not right, you feel like you are running away, and you don't have to worry about me. ā
After finishing speaking, Du Ge turned his head sideways, and his cheek and Al Wei pasted, and then he didn't wait for El Wei to react. He stood up, took a step forward, and rested his right hand on the hilt of his sword. The waist was straight, his eyes were squinted, and his sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, and he said in a small voice:
"Come out. ā
