Chapter 45: Seeking!
There are a lot of elves in the water, just the two times Yun Yan fell into the water, even if it was not deliberate, I accidentally saw the three kinds of elves of horned goldfish, carp king and mosquito tadpoles, and on the way to chase the dumb beast by Yun Yan and Floating Bubbles, the elves who ran ashore from the stream and hid in the grass because they were disturbed In addition to mosquito coil tadpoles, there are two kinds of elves that can reach ducks and big pincer crabs, so it is not so easy for Yun Tai and Floating Bubbles to find out the clues of the stupid beast coming ashore.
Thankfully, Yun Yan hadn't found any other Silly Beasts in the stream along the way, otherwise Yun Yan wouldn't have been so confident that he could find the cunning Silly Beast from the footprints left by a bunch of Silly Beasts.
In the process of continuous searching, identification, and rejection, Yun Yan gradually discovered some patterns: after the mosquito tadpole came ashore, the trail left was two rows of small footprints next to a narrow waterway; After the duck came ashore, there were two rows of three-toed footprints, which were not too big or small; The most recognizable thing left by the pincer crab after landing is a linear water stain trace.
Another water-stained mark similar to the footprints of a mosquito coil tadpole was thrown behind by Yun Yan, and this time, before Yun Yan had taken two steps, he let out a slight 'huh', stopped his steps and retreated, carefully looking at the water-stained route leading to the woods next to the stream.
Yun Yan's retreat made the floating bubble that shook its head and was trying to find the slightest trace of water stains not be found at all, until it found a new trace and called for Yun Yan and did not get a response, then it reacted and saw Yun Yan squatting down a few meters behind it to watch the water stains.
Floating Bubbles' eyes lit up suddenly, thinking that Yun Yan had found the traces left by the stupid beast, and he floated to the front in a hurry, but when he looked at it, he found that it was the footprints of mosquito coils and tadpoles, and suddenly lost interest, pulled Yun Yan's collar, and called him to leave to see another trace it found.
Yun Yan shook his head, pointed to the water stains on the ground and said: "Floating bubbles, these footprints look like mosquitoes and tadpoles, but if you look at these footprints carefully, this, this, this, and this, don't you think there is a difference in the spacing between these four footprints?" ”
Floating Bubbles lowered his body in confusion and floated to a place close to the ground, his big black eyes were almost attached to the four footprints that Yun Yan was pointing to, and after looking at it for a long time, he raised his head and nodded to Yun Yan seriously, indicating that what Yun Yan said made sense.
"Since you also think that this is a trace left by the stupid beast, then, let's chase it, don't let it run away!" Yun Yan and Floating Bubbles stood up as they spoke, looking into the forest where the water stains were leading, and there was anger in their eyes about the Dumb Beast, the excitement of finding the Silly Beast, and the imaginary excitement of being able to successfully teach the Dumb Beast a lesson in the near future, and without the slightest hesitation, they stepped into it with the Floating Bubbles.
I don't know if it's an illusion, not long after walking into this wood, Yun Yan felt a throbbing and fear in his heart, which had been hidden in the depths of his memory, and the nightmare images of the terrifying forest he made on the night when the floating bubbles hatched appeared frequently, almost making Yun Yan unable to tell whether the forest he saw in his eyes at this time was a real existence, or the one in his memory.
A heavy wheezing sound came into the ears of the floating bubble who was exploring the way ahead, and the floating bubble suddenly became vigilant, looked around, and after finding nothing wrong, tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly looked back.
At this time, I saw Yun Yan's eyes in a trance, pale, sweating profusely, constantly blinking, shaking his head, walking with difficulty, as if he was about to fall down at any time, and the floating bubbles he saw were unknown, so he hurriedly floated in front of Yun Yan's eyes and shouted worriedly.
The cry of the floating bubbles made Yun Yan feel excited, the memory of that nightmare faded, and the light in his eyes gradually returned to clarity, Yun Yan blinked, looked at the strange environment around him that was no longer overlapping, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Yun Yan's recovery, the big eyes of the floating bubbles were full of doubts, and the little hands like meat balls helped Yun Yan wipe away a drop of sweat stuck to his eyebrows, and asked Yun Yan what happened just now.
Yun Yan frowned and thought for a while, but he still couldn't understand why he suddenly remembered the nightmare he had that night, and he also overlapped the picture of the forest in front of him in his mind, making himself almost fall into a nightmare again.
"I don't know!" Since he couldn't figure it out, Yun Yan had no choice but to give up for the time being, shook his head at the floating bubble that was worried about him, and continued, "I'm fine, let's continue to look for the stupid beast!" ”
Floating Bubble heard the words and intended to persuade Yun Yan to turn back, but seeing that Yun Yan had already followed the trail left by the stupid beast first, he just swallowed this sentence back to his stomach and followed Yun Yan, but this time it did not lead the way in front, but walked side by side with Yun Yan to prevent Yun Yan from having another accident.
After entering the woods, because of the existence of wild grasses, small trees, flowers, etc. on the ground, coupled with the coming and going of other wild elves, the traces left by the dumb beast became more and more difficult to find, however, it seemed that God couldn't see the cunning dumb beast and was helping Yun Yan, in addition to not being attacked by wild elves along the way, Yun Yan also let him intermittently find the clues left by the dumb beast.
When the tracking Yun Yan, who was already extremely tired mentally and physically, bypassed a towering tree hugged by five people, a pink, leisurely walking body suddenly appeared in Yun Yan's field of vision, and in an instant, Yun Yan only felt that the exhaustion of his whole body was swept away, and immediately yelled: "Dumb beast, stop me!" ”
The floating bubble was even more mentally shocked, and when Yun Yan roared, it had already floated over first, and on the way to fly, the tentacles on its forehead stood up, about to absorb the heat of the sun, and when it reached the front of the dumb beast, it planned to use sparks to attack.
In Yun Yan's roar, the pink figure took a leisurely step and stayed in the air, slowly turned his head, and a pair of big white eyes looked at Yun Yan blankly, and then turned his head again, and took a step in the air.
"It's this expression, it's this expression, I'm so angry!" The stupid gaze of the dumb beast, and the wiping of its forehead floating in its mouth, made Yun Yan tremble with anger, and privately thought that the stupid beast was laughing at him for being an idiot.
Hearing Yun Yan's almost crazy shout, the floating bubble that had already come not far behind the Dumb Beast no longer waited, opened his mouth and inhaled fiercely, and spit out black smoke at the Dumb Beast!
The imaginary fiery spark failed to appear, Yun Yan's facial expression suddenly froze, and the floating bubble expression was also full of embarrassment, and soon his eyes froze, and he raised the tentacles on his forehead again, ready to absorb the heat of the sun.
"No, it's the same as when we fought Unicorn! This time it's the woods that are so dense that they block out the sun! The failure of the Floating Bubble Skill made Yun Yan's overly angry brain gradually return to its senses, and quickly analyzed the reason.
However, even if Yun Yan analyzed the reason, it was useless, and the striding dumb beast suddenly turned around, its eyes bloomed with blue light again, and it controlled the floating bubble to smash towards a large tree in the distance.
Seeing this, Yun Yan hurriedly stopped his steps towards the Dumb Beast, and quickly rushed towards the floating bubble that let out a panicked shout, catching it with a jump, but it was also driven by the Dumb Beast's telekinesis and smashed directly into the big tree.
Yun Yan, whose back was smashed on the tree, snorted, but after seeing the floating bubbles that showed a worried look, Yun Yan endured the pain and smiled: "Floating bubbles, you're fine!" ”
The big eyes of the floating bubble bubble suddenly filled with tears, and he lowered his head guiltily, and cried and told Yun Yan that if it wasn't for its skills, it wouldn't have been bullied by the stupid beast like this, it was all its fault!
"Floating bubbles, don't be sad, no one is born strong! Trust me, we'll get stronger together! Yun Yan tried to float the tears on the bubble's face, stood up after feeling the pain in his back subside slightly, looked in the direction of the dumb beast's departure, and said in a firm tone, "This dumb beast is now a hurdle on our way to becoming stronger, floating bubbles, let's cross it together!" ”
The floating bubbles gradually stopped, the small hands like meat balls clenched, and the immature voice that was still a little choked was full of persistence in defeating the Dumb Beast and the desire to become stronger, and followed Yun Yan on the road to find the Dumb Beast again.
