【043】Black Storm
After discussing with Su for a while, Xiao and Su decided to split up to find the pigs, and in the end, whether they found the pigs or not, they returned to the cliff in half an hour to meet.
It was a risky decision, as neither of them had ever acted alone before.
But Xiao was paralyzed by paralysis, taken away by strange birds, and rescued by Suo, and he already knew in his heart that Suo was no longer the little girl who needed his protection and care in the past.
The two split up, one to the south and the other to the north, gradually moving away from each other.
Holding the sword and stick of the year, the owl constantly jumps on the top of the trees, and can jump thousands of meters each time.
He doesn't jump in a straight line, but he jumps up, then he descends in an arc, and finally lands on another tree, and repeats the jump again, and so on.
This is the most labor-saving method and is very efficient.
After a few minutes, he stopped on a tree, and his gaze fell on a low tree below, which bore three fruits, purple in the shape of which somewhat resembled a six-pointed star.
He knew that it was a poisonous fruit, but it was a good seasoning after processing, and it was used in several dishes.
He jumped down directly, landed next to the fruit, and used the Nian Sword and Moon Sword and Stick to cut the fruit, and picked it up only after making sure that there was no danger.
"Something is wrong, poisonous mangoes generally have three-pointed pit vipers entrenched, why is this poisonous mango not?" He glanced around, and after putting away the fruit, he jumped up directly and landed on the top of a twenty-meter-high tree.
He looked around, listened carefully, and gradually he noticed something unusual.
What is that?
He looked into the distance, then simply bent his legs and kicked, and the whole person jumped straight into the air.
As the height rose, he gradually saw a dark cloud, which was so far away that it looked like a black line, and if it weren't for the lightning flashing, he probably wouldn't have noticed such a small line.
Gradually, he felt that something was wrong, because there was something unusual about the line, as if it could distort space, disappear from time to time, and reappear again from time to time.
He suddenly remembered an incident that he had mentioned when he was seven years old when a down-and-out merchant passed by the small town of Moorea.
A black storm that has destroyed five towns!
This incident actually had a very big impact, but it didn't have much impact on the small town of Moorea, so the owl was completely listening to the story.
He couldn't remember the details of it, except that the down-and-out merchant went bankrupt, and that the black storm originated in the sea and finally swept inland, washing the land like a brush.
This is the roar of nature, even if the ghost mountain elephant, the god food and other creatures encounter the black storm head-on, there is only one way to die.
"It's kind of like, no. The owl looked at the black line in the distance and muttered in his heart.
In general, animals are the first to perceive danger before humans.
The owl looked around and found that there were still birds perched among the trees, and a few squirrels that he often ate were running between the branches, and there was no sense of danger at all.
"Maybe I'm mistaken. Xiao said secretly in his heart.
But he had a gut feeling that it was definitely the legendary cataclysm, the Black Storm.
He scratched his head and decided to take a closer look, whether he had to ask for peace of mind or not.
At the same time, in the other direction.
Suo found a herd of hot pigs, a large number of hot pigs are running wildly, and the direction is exactly the direction of Mizuki Town.
She landed on a tree and immediately saw a completely different pig in the herd.
A normal hot pig is not more than one meter five in height and two meters in length, but the hot pig is at least five meters tall and at least seven meters long, and its whole body is full of muscles, without a trace of fat.
It has extra-long fangs, steel needle-like bristles covering its body, and most notably a flame burning on its head, forming a ring of fire that resembles a crown.
There is no doubt that it is the King of Pigs!
Suo determined the location of the pigs, thought about it and did not provoke the pigs, but decided to return to the cliff first and wait for the owl to come back before making a decision.
A single hot pig, she is confident that she can kill it instantly, but the number of hot pigs exceeds a thousand, and once she attacks, she will be 100% overwhelmed by the flames spewed by other hot pigs.
To stop the hot pig herd, you must use outwitting, and there is only one way to die.
She turned and touched the tip of the tree with her toes, and with a little exertion, she quickly took off, flying towards the cliff.
And the owl also landed on a tree at this time, and a fish suddenly flew in, and he quickly bent down to avoid it, and turned around to see that the fish was stuck in a tree like a bullet, and it was obviously dead.
"It's a black storm, wait, that's a bastard!" Owl glanced back at the black line, then reacted, and then looked at the fish stuck in the tree behind him, and immediately realized that the fish was the bastard fish used to match the eyeball fruit.
He immediately turned around and jumped down lightly, landing lightly on the tree with the bastard fish inserted, and then cut the big tree with the shape of the year knife and moon sword stick, and then took out the bastard fish that was deeply embedded in the trunk.
It's a pity that the two eyes of the bastard fish have sunken, and I don't know if they can be used.
He thought about it, and let out a small breath of gas, putting away the bastard fish for the time being, now is not the time to collect ingredients, the black storm is the point.
"It's time to go back, you must inform the people in Mizuki Town, and quickly find a place to hide. He thought to himself, then glanced at the black line, turned around and walked back.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of the wind, and immediately used the Nian Daoyue Sword and Stick to block upward, and a fish hit the stick, and then was bounced back half a meter and fell vertically to the ground.
He looked up and saw a large number of fish flying in a parabolic arc.
These fish are not able to fly on their own, but are thrown out by the black storm, involuntarily thrown into the air, and then arc downward, hitting the ground or trees with a huge impact.
Fortunately, not all the fish flew towards the owl, otherwise the dense school of fish would fall, and even if he reacted quickly, he would not be able to bear it.
The fact that the bastard fish that had just almost shot through the trees was enough to show how powerful these fish were.
The owl sped up his speed, sprinting with all his strength to escape from the range of the fish, and from time to time he turned to look, he locked on a few bastard fish, and suddenly slammed on the top of the tree, and his body flew straight into the air, just in the path where the bastard fish passed.
The Moon Sword and Stick in his hand had already turned into the form of a Moon Sword, and he stabbed the flying Bastard Fish from the bottom to the top.
After repeating the old trick and piercing a few bastard fish in a row, he really opened up his firepower, and in the blink of an eye, he distanced himself from the flying fish and headed towards the cliff.
When he returned to the cliff, Suo was already waiting on the cliff, and when he saw him, he immediately smiled.
"Brother Xiao, are you okay?, why is there a fishy smell on your body?" asked Xiaoxiao stepped forward, and then moved his nose, and found that there was actually a fishy smell on Xiaoxiao's body.
Xiao took out a trick bag, took out a few smaller bastard fish, and said with a smile: "We don't have to deliberately go to Leiden City, this is the bastard fish." ”
"Where did you come from?" asked Suo in surprise.
Xiao's expression suddenly became serious, and he told Suo about his previous discovery, and Suo immediately said thoughtfully: "So the reason for the migration of the hot pig herd is the Black Storm?"
"It's a possibility. Xiao nodded.
At this moment, Suo suddenly shot at his right hand, and in an instant, the silver light fell into the forest.
The owl immediately walked into the forest, dragged a fat snake out, and couldn't help laughing: "Suo, it seems that you are very talented in shooting, too accurate." ”
The snake had no wound anywhere else, and it happened to be shot through the head.
"The main thing is that the silver blade is easy to use and has no recoil. Suo was praised by Xiao, and he was a little happy in his heart, and glanced at the silver blade in his hand.
Xiao looked down at the snake and said, "This is a purple-striped pit viper, which can be made into a dish, and it is collected." ”
Then, he exhaled a small breath of gas, temporarily reduced the snake, and put it in the bag.
Only then did he realize that not all animals were unaware of the arrival of the Black Storm, and that the snakes should have been aware of it first, so he had picked poisonous mangoes before before before he was attacked by the three-pointed pit viper.
Maybe the three-pointed pit viper sensed the danger first and ran away.
After receiving the purple-veined cangtooth pit viper, Xiao and Su flew directly to Shuimu Town.
Shuimu Town is not particularly prosperous, because it is close to the Dilong River, and there is a Dilong Cave in the upper reaches of the Dilong River, and there are a large number of water pit vipers in the cave, so it is not very poor, and there are often merchants passing by and collecting snakes by the way.
Most of the men in the town are good snake catchers, and there are people in every household who can handle all kinds of snakes.
Xiao and Su entered the town, directly inquired about the mayor's residence, and then went straight to the mayor's house.
The mayor of Mizuki Town is a muscular old man with slightly dark skin, and when Xiao and Su find him, he is playing with a five-meter-long, arm-thick pit viper.
It's not accurate to say it's a trick, he carries the tail of the pit viper, constantly turning and shaking in circles, the pit viper keeps trying to attack him, but there is no way to take him.
He noticed the pit viper, so he pinched the pit viper's head very simply, and with the other hand, he let go of the pit viper's tail and gently flicked it at the pit viper's head, and the pit viper passed out.
"What's the matter, two distinguished guests," he asked, putting the pit viper in his bag and tying it up.
Xiao nodded and said: "My name is Xiao, she is Suo, we are adventurers, just now we found out that there are hot pigs haunting the town, so we went to investigate the hot pigs, and found that the black storm is moving in the direction of the town, so I hope the mayor can command the people in the town to quickly avoid the storm." ”
He spoke quickly and urgently, because he knew that the faster he moved, the more people would be saved.
The reason why he didn't speak as soon as he came up just now was because the old mayor was playing with a snake, and if he was distracted and bitten because of him, it would be a big trouble.
The old mayor put on his shirt and couldn't help frowning, "Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, I'm afraid I won't be able to let everyone take refuge because of your words." ”
It's not that he doesn't believe the words of the owl, but he has concerns.
What if it's just a prank?
To put it bluntly, Xiao and Su are still too young, and in the absence of evidence, it is difficult for ordinary people to believe what they say.
The old mayor didn't want to be famous for the rest of his life, and in the end, because he stupidly listened to the words of the two children, the whole town was furious.
The True Black Storm is coming, and that's nothing.
If the Black Storm doesn't come, won't he become a laughing stock?
