Chapter 5 Half a Peach
Wen Huai hid in a tree hollow, unlucky, it rained not long after he entered the forest, and it was the kind of dense rain that was endless.
The tree hole is very spacious, and I can't feel the crampedness by myself.
He pulled out his map and searched for his location. He was now the outermost part of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, a long way from the Cloud Valley Forest.
The Cloud Valley Forest was in the center of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and it would take more than a week to get there, not counting rest and sleep time in between.
"Alas...... It's a bit far. Wen Huai put away the map and sighed.
The rain outside is getting louder and louder, and tonight is going to be in this tree hole for the night.
I took out some dry food from the package and ate some casually to satisfy my hunger.
When he had nothing to do, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the family crest that represented the Wen family.
His right arm is almost covered with clan patterns, whenever he sees the clan pattern Wen Huai is sincerely amazed at the exquisite skills of his ancestors, it is not just a clan pattern, the mysterious lines, it looks cumbersome and mixed but looks at it in a regular and orderly manner, hideous and majestic, tyrannical and powerful.
He gently stroked the family pattern on his arm, and there was more tenderness in his eyes, every line on it was just right, no more, no less, it was hard to imagine that this was outlined by human hands, and it was difficult to express the subtlety of this family pattern in human language.
"Only people of that era could come up with such a mysterious family crest. Wen Huai said in admiration.
The formation techniques they use now are all handed down from their ancestors, and there are very few new formation techniques.
The older the formation, the rarer and more powerful it is.
The array is divided into one column to one hundred and twenty-four columns according to the year and rarity. The higher the number of columns, the more powerful it becomes.
The highest formation technique of the Wen Huai Society was the 'Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens' on the one hundred and one columns, and its power could raze this Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range to the ground in an instant.
This is only the power of a hundred and one columns, and the higher you go, the stronger the strength. However, the highest existing formation pattern technique is only one hundred and ten, and the conditions are harsh, requiring the patriarchs of all clans to outline the formation pattern together.
Click!!
A thunderclap swept across the sky, and the thunder illuminated Wen Huai's side face.
"Who?"
Wen Huai instantly became vigilant, the clan pattern is a family secret, and no one can peep into it.
"Is it my delusion?"
Boom......
The tree that sheltered from the rain broke halfway through.
Wen Huai blocked his arms to protect his body, but he was still shot away.
In front of him was a giant bear several times his height.
He secretly cursed bad luck and quickly ran into the deep forest, he wanted to save his strength to subdue the Spirit Suspense Flame.
Wen Huai's speed was very fast, and his body was as light as a swallow galloping between the trees.
"It's so clingy, you've been chasing me for so long......" Wen Huai was a little impatient, his body was already wet with rain.
"Whoa......
There was a sound of arrow feathers piercing the air, and the arrow feathers came along Wen Huai's front door.
Wen Huai almost subconsciously turned his head sideways, this is a muscle memory that can only be achieved after thousands of cultivations.
Wen Huai turned his head sideways and subconsciously glanced at the arrow feather, it was not an ordinary arrow feather, it was wrapped with strong spiritual power, and at a glance, he knew that it was the hand of the formation pattern master.
The arrow feathers whizzed past and sank into the bear's chest.
With a scream from the giant bear, the arrow wound festered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bear rolls on the ground twice and is lifeless.
Wen Huai stopped and looked at the formation master vigilantly, this is not a joke now, his life may be in danger at any time, he must be vigilant at all times.
The man was amazed that he was able to dodge a fatal blow at such a close distance.
Wen Huai didn't intend to keep it, as long as there was a trace of killing intent on the other side, then he would do it mercilessly.
"Humph......"
The man snorted arrogantly, but he didn't expect it to be a girl. She withdrew her longbow and carried it behind her, and it was a little too slender to rise half the girl's head.
"Hmph...... Thank you to me yet. "When the girl spoke, she heard that kind of arrogant girl, and she should not be very old. "If it weren't for me, you'd have been slapped to death by that stupid bear. ”
Wen Huai saw that she didn't mean to do anything, and she didn't want to pay attention to this kind of arrogant girl, so she turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey...... Stand still. The girl shouted, "Believe me or not." ”
"You can try!" Wen Huai coldly threw out a sentence, he had been chased by the giant bear for a long time, and now he didn't know where he was, and his mood was extremely bad.
The girl was stunned, she didn't expect Wen Huai to be so fierce to her, and she was a little aggrieved.
"Hmph...... How dare you murder me...... Woo......" The girl cried.
Wen Huai was even more upset when he heard the cry, and immediately quickened his pace and left the place of right and wrong.
But no matter how he went, the girl followed from a distance and did not come closer, and from time to time she let out a whining cry.
"What do you want?" Wen Huai asked impatiently. Today is unlucky enough, I didn't expect to encounter such annoyance.
The girl stopped crying, looked at Wen Huai with tears in her eyes, and muttered for a long time.
"You're the first person to kill me, and no one has ever dared to talk to me like that, I'm ...... I want to marry you. ”
Wen Huai looked at the little girl with a confused expression, and he didn't see the girl clearly just now because of the shade of the trees.
The girl was only as tall as his chin, and although her face was stained with wind and dust, her fair and translucent skin could still be seen. It's not very old.,About twelve or thirteen.,Although it hasn't grown yet, it's a beautiful embryo at a glance.。
"Poof......" Wen Huai was amused by her, and the haze in her heart was swept away, and she couldn't help but say two words, "Do you know what marriage is?"
"It's just that the two love each other...... Together every day. The girl saw that Wen Huai treated her as a child, and she straightened her waist angrily and imitated the tone of an adult.
"Haha......" Wen Huai rubbed her cute little head. "I'll talk about it when you're older. ”
"That'...... Can I follow you?" the little girl was a little cramped, "I'm with me...... Got separated......"
Wen Huai knew that she was lying when she looked at her, and the clothes on her body might have been worn out and tattered because she had walked in the forest for too long, and they were the same as Wen Huai's clothes, but she could still see from the details that this clothing was not something ordinary people could afford.
Wen Huai didn't tear him down, took out the little dry food he had left, and handed it to the girl.
The girl resisted a little, she should be used to eating delicacies and not used to these coarse grains, but she still ate all the leftovers, and she looked hungry for a long time.
Wen Huai sighed silently in his heart: I didn't find the spiritual root, but I picked up a child first. Alas......
"You can follow me if you want, but you have to listen to me. ”
"I'll be obedient. The girl nodded hurriedly, for fear that Wen Huai would regret it the next moment and not want her.
"My name is Wen Huai, you can call me Brother Wen Huai. What's your name?"
"I ...... My name is Flower Half Peach. Just call me Little Peach. ”
"Hmm. Walk with my brother to shelter from the rain. Wen Huai picked up the little peach, didn't take two steps and turned back, and took away the bear paws of the giant bear.
From a distance, I saw a young man with a pair of bear paws on his back and a girl with a longbow on his back, this picture is indescribably strange and a bit nondescript.
"The surname is 'Hua'," Wen Huai muttered silently in his mouth. "Are you from Nanlu? If it's really Nanlu, you'll really pick up a disaster star. ”
"Brother Wen Huai...... You're amazing. ”
Hua Bantao's voice disrupted his thoughts.
"You're the best person I've ever met. ”
"Brother Wen Huai, aren't you a formation pattern master, why don't you use the formation pattern to deal with him. ”
"Brother Wen Huai, where are you from?"
"Brother Wen Huai, why don't you speak. ”
Along the way, Hua Bantao's voice never stopped, and he replied to her a few words at first, but later found out that she was just a chatterbox, and she was not finished at all.
The two walked through the rain-soaked woods, and eventually stopped at a dilapidated wooden house.
Pushing open the rotten door, the musty smell came from inside.
"Brother Wen Huai, it smells so bad here. ”
Xiao Tao covered her nose and didn't want to go in.
Wen Huai touched the darkness and opened the window. The wind in the hall took away most of the musty smell.
"Come in, it's going to be one night here. ”
Xiao Tao came in reluctantly.
"Here...... There are bugs!" As soon as Xiao Tao walked in, she was frightened by the bugs in the wooden board.
Wen Huai coaxed her in, thinking to himself that this place should be a temporary residence for hunters, these people have been back for a long time, and the seats inside have been almost gnawed by insects.
He lit a bonfire, took off the wet clothes and put them next to the fire to dry, Xiao Tao was embarrassed to change clothes, and sat by the fire and kept shaking the clothes on his body, trying to speed up the drying of clothes.
Wen Huai cut the bear's paw into slices of meat, skewered them with branches, and roasted them over the fire.
The oil and water on the meat rumbled out, and the aroma was overflowing. Xiao Tao looked at the fragrant meat expectantly, and kept swallowing saliva.
"Here you go. Wen Huai handed it to her, amused by Xiao Tao's greedy cat appearance.
"Brother Wen Huai, you eat first......" Although she said this, her saliva had already been reserved.
Wen Huai smiled, "There is no seasoning here, so it may not be delicious." He still shoved the roasted meat into his hands.
"Brother Wen Huai...... You're so good...... When I grow up, I must marry you. This move moved Xiao Tao to a great extent, and she secretly vowed to repay Wen Huai in her heart.
Wen Huai smiled silently, lowered his head to barbecue, he wanted to prepare the food for the two of them on the road tomorrow, so he had to set aside some for bacon.
"Little Peach, your longbow isn't yours. Wen Huai glanced at the longbow placed on Xiao Tao's leg, and the longbow never left his body.
Momomoto's happy face was a little frustrated when he heard him lift the longbow.
"This is what my mother gave me, saying that no one dares to bully me if I have it. ”
"Oh......"
Wen Huai carefully looked at the long bow, the slender bow was wrapped in white cotton cloth, he guessed that if it was right, it was engraved with a formation pattern, and it was also a very high number of columns, that was in the hands of a child who had no hands to exert great power. The most amazing thing is that this bow does not have a bowstring and arrow feathers, and those appear out of thin air.
Xiao Tao seemed to think of something sad, a little lost, and after eating a little, she lay down by the bonfire and fell asleep.
Wen Huai finished the meat and leaned against the wooden wall and fell asleep deeply.
The day of entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range passed like this, and I was a little unlucky, and I lost my way when I first came and couldn't find the location of the Cloud Valley Forest......
