Chapter 25: The Mysterious Creature
You can't blame Jarrow for not reacting, it's too sudden, and even if he does, he doesn't have time to react. The wind came from behind, not only blowing them away, but also blowing away many of their bags.
Strangely, the bags did not fall to the ground in the same embarrassment as they did, let alone fall under the rock wall, but floated to rest in the air, as if they were being held by an invisible force.
The situation of the five people is not very good, and Jarrow is relatively better. Strange to say, when the gust of wind blew beside him, he felt a strange power surging in his body, and he was about to confirm that a small creature suddenly stood on his shoulder.
I wanted to see what it was, but I couldn't withstand the wind and was blown away. When he stood up, he had several cuts on the side of his face. If you don't deal with it in time, you may leave a scar: "It doesn't matter, right? Xiu, you stand in the middle, and everyone else is responsible for one direction! ”
The gust of wind was abnormal, and everyone knew very well that there was definitely something nearby, maybe it was a monster. If you don't want to encounter the last ordeal again, you can only do your best.
However, they thought that what made everyone feel vigilant was a small creature that looked harmless to humans and animals, and even the other party was blatantly eating their food.
This little blue spherical creature, with big and moving eyes, has a pair of cute cat ears, and its seemingly fragile little hands are holding a bag of potato chips from Red Lotus's collection, and they are sitting on Red Lotus's backpack and eating it deliciously.
Happiness is always short-lived, and the little creatures quickly wipe out the chips. When it ate the dry jerky, its whole body suddenly swelled, and it looked at Jarrow and the others angrily, as if it was very dissatisfied with the taste of jerky.
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and after putting away his anger, the little creature jumped back and forth between the bags of the five people, probably looking for food that could be seen.
Its actions fell in the eyes of the red lotus, it was a different taste, it was the only bag of potato chips left, and it was eaten by a small creature that appeared out of nowhere, and she was very angry.
However, the other party stayed at a height that she couldn't reach, so she looked at Xiu and Jia Luo gloomily: "Xiu, shoot that little thing down with your arrow!" Jarrow, if you can't cultivate, you can give it to me! ”
Jia Luo didn't nod or shake his head, seeing Xiu's sad face, he asked, "What?" Are you afraid of not hitting it? This distance.. You should be able to do it, right? ”
The distance is about 50 meters, but the target keeps moving in the air, which is an extreme test of eyesight, and Xiu has not done similar cultivation before, so it is difficult to shoot.
Coupled with the slight sprain on his right arm when he was blown down by the wind earlier, it was difficult for him to exert his strength to draw the bow. Red Lotus didn't notice this, but Alice did.
Confirming that there was only the naughty little creature around, she immediately stepped forward to heal Xiu's injuries: "Xiu, don't move." Jarrow, you too, wait until I heal the injured wounds, and then treat you. ”
No matter how many times he watched it, Jarrow enjoyed it, and if he had the opportunity to learn this magic, he might be able to relieve the symptoms of his headaches. Even if you can't, it will be a great help to the team in the future.
It's just that for some reason, Jarrow never succeeded. Obviously, I understood the operation mode of the magic power, but I couldn't successfully display it, is it because the magic power in the body is contrary to the light attribute?
Perhaps!
Noticing that the scratches on his face were gone, Jarrow raised his hand to wipe the blood: "Thank you!" "No need to say thanks, that's what I should do!"
Perhaps by nature, noticing that the little creature was slow to come down, Charles said, "Listen to me, that little creature is not hostile to us, he must just be hungry... Come and find something to eat! Why don't you wait for our stuff to come back and let it go? ”
The proposal was good, but Honglian was very unhappy: "Charles, which side are you on?" Bringing something back? The food was almost eaten by the thief, so what was the point of coming back? Xiu, if your hand is good, then hurry up and shoot it down for me! ”
The spherical creature was eating, noticing the movement below, and it looked curiously: "Blue? Blue, Blue! ”
Shouting around, it will only call Blue, and Jarrow listens to it, and doesn't think it's just an ordinary little creature. Judging by its size, he was sure that it was the one that had jumped on his shoulder earlier, that it could not be affected by the wind, and that it could not even be seen at a speed that was not as simple as it seemed.
As for whether it is a monster or not, Jarrow doesn't know, judging by its performance, nine times out of ten!
Xiu still shot the arrow after all, and after the little creature easily dodged, he didn't get angry, but thought it was fun, so he waited for Xiu's next arrow with great interest: "Cut, Xiu, you're too inferior, right?" No, Jarrow, you do it for me! ”
Jarrow didn't mind making a move, but Charles on the side stopped him: "No! Although the little guy ate some of the food, there was still a lot of it! It's hard to get food in this kind of place, and if you do it, we're all going to starve for the next few days! ”
"Damn, what to do then? Well? Why does it keep staring at Xiu? "Perhaps. Is it scared? ”
How can it be!
Seeing that Xiu's arrow missed again, Jia Luo, who had an important task, said lightly: "It's better to ignore it!" It's so small, you shouldn't be able to eat much! The mission is important, and if it's still here when it gets back before dark, it's not too late to clean it up. ”
It's a terrible proposition, but what if your bags are taken away by critters or thrown under a rock wall?
For the sake of the team, Xiu decided to use sophisticated arrows. But unfortunately, even if the head was better, he couldn't shoot the small creature, and the other party was even more energetic, and he was not afraid of the bow in his hand at all.
I haven't found any herbs yet, and if I delay too long in this kind of place, then this trip is likely to be empty-handed.
Jarrow had already carried out his mission, and after confirming that there was no way to repair the small creature, he raised his hand to cast the Black Flame Technique.
But just as he was about to release the black flame, the black flame floating in his palm was inexplicably extinguished.
What's going on?
The little creature is still bouncing on it, it shouldn't be it, could it be that there are other creatures nearby?
Wrong!
"Hey, Jarrow, are you going to do it? Could it be that I haven't practiced magic in the past few days, so I'm rusty, right? ”
Jarrow wasn't sure, so he tried it again, but the result was the same: "There's weirdness, there's weirdness in this place!" Alice, try your hand at the Holy Light! ”
Alice's situation is the same: "It's strange, I did it just now, why can't I do it all of a sudden?" Red Lotus, Charles, you try! ”
Except for Xiu, the rest of the people tried it repeatedly, and finally came to the conclusion that they were panicking, if the magic/skill could not be used, how should they deal with the next thing?
Xiu didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he had to get his bags back as soon as possible, not only because of the food problem, but also because the backpack where the commission scroll was stored was floating in the air.
If the Entrustment Scroll is lost, how can all members find the magic herb? How do you find a simple description of the commission? Even if you find it, you can't tell it!
So he shot as hard as he could, but until the two arrows around his waist were finished, he still didn't hit the little creature that was jumping alive.
Noticing that the five of Jarrow were very worried, the little creature was very proud, but after waiting for a while, it didn't see the bow and arrows, and it became bored.
Suddenly, it noticed a strange red glow in the backpack under its feet. Out of curiosity, it crouched down and fumbled with its small hands. It didn't take long for the task scroll to be taken out by the flickering red light.
The twine-tied quest scroll flickered, and the little creature had never seen such a thing, and after staring at it carefully for a while, it didn't see anything.
Just as it decided to open the scroll, Red Lotus's exclamation startled it: "Ah! The scrolls glow red, and that little guy definitely has what we want! Repair, limited to you within three minutes..! ”
Frightened, his feet slipped, and the small creature holding the scroll fell from the air...
