"Who are you? Why trespass on my yard? ”

The tall figure on the opposite side slowly walked out of the dark door, and his appearance was clear before he could see the truth, it was indeed a human being, and the stubble was messy and stern, like a harsh uncle,...... A plush sleeveless shirt, trousers made of tablecloth-like material, and a pair of boots with upturned tips on his feet...... and a longbow on his back.

I stood up and slapped my dirt-stained hand, and replied with a smile: "Hehe, don't get me wrong, I'm also an explorer of demon slaying and exterminating demons, but I suddenly saw that there were people living in this forest, so I was curious to come and find out." ”

The man did not believe my words, but looked me up and down with deep eyes.

As if judging that I was not a threat to him, he turned back and walked towards the house, inviting me, "It's a hairy boy...... Come in and talk about it. ”

Young......

Somehow, I have a vague feeling that this uncle is not simple.

When I entered the house, it was not as sinister as I imagined, such as the Demon King's Cave, ordinary furniture, ordinary furnishings, ordinary tables, chairs, benches, ordinary dishes and chopsticks, no different from ordinary poor families, but from the back window, I could see a few wooden tents erected behind the courtyard, on which more than a dozen furs were propped up, as if drying.

Uncle didn't politely let me sit down, and I cheekily found a bench to sit down, looked around, looked at him, and asked, "Uncle, are you ......?"

"Call me Lao Liu."

"Oh oh...... old Liu...... Ahem, Lao Liu, you live here alone? ”

Although the uncle's face was strict, his hands were not idle, but he brought out a plate of cups from the back room, which had been poured with some tea made from unknown wildflowers.

"Hurry up and drink, I'll send you out when you're done."

He didn't answer my question, but sat there looking at me impatiently, as if he thought I was a little doll who had lost his way here.

"Hehe, uncle, don't get me wrong." I put the teacup down and clenched my fists, "The younger generation is here to explore, so I won't bother you, if I want to leave, I can leave myself." ”

Although I tried very hard to explain, my uncle always looked disdainful and denied, stubbornly thinking that I was just a hard-mouthed hairy boy.

Suddenly, there was a stirring of leaves from outside the house, and the uncle quickly took off the longbow hanging on his back, put the arrow on it, and looked out cautiously from the door.

But before he found the target, I had already rushed out of the door with the speed of the wind, and rushed straight to the canopy of the tree on the yard, the halberd fell, and the thick number fell in response, and a hiding [Rodent Flying Monkey] fell from the canopy, this guy's attributes are very mediocre, but it is crazy fast, and now falling from the tree is considered to have no center of gravity, and it has been greeted by me with a set of combos when it is in mid-air.

"Quack!"

The Flying Monkey let out a strange cry of pain, and then pounced on my face, this move has a high chance of causing blindness and bleeding to the enemy's face, and the weak areas of the face are also easy to deal extra damage, even if you can't take the target's life, you can temporarily escape from the target's hands, which is considered the Flying Monkey's housekeeping skills.

"Whew!"

Before I could follow further, the arrow from the string turned into lightning in front of me, and in the next second, the rapidly jumping flying monkey was already nailed to the trunk of the tree next to it, and after a few convulsions, it lost its strength.

Turning his head, the uncle was coming from the courtyard, and the attack just now must have been his move.

I knew that it was not an idle person who dared to settle down in this precipitous area, and the flying monkey still had hundreds of thousands of blood, and was actually killed by the uncle so lightly, and the attack was a little scary.

"Lao Liu, believe my words now......"

"Oops! I'll just say you're a hairy boy! Such a good monkey skin is not worth much if it is cut down! ”

The uncle walked past me, and was not in the slightest interest in my boasting of the merit, but plucked the monkey from the trunk of the tree in distress, and carefully examined the monkey's fur to make sure that there was nothing serious about it.

The uncle turned his head to look at me again, and his attitude was much kinder than at the beginning: "I can't see it, you do have some ......ability, come in and talk." ”

"Alas, all right!"

In the hall, I sat obediently on the side, watching the uncle on the small table neatly dissect and skin the flying monkey, the technique is as smooth as a cook, there is no interruption in the middle, the skeleton is neatly removed and thrown into the stove next to the fire, the tender meat is thrown into the pot, and the monkey skin is carefully supported by a few wooden sticks and hung on the window edge behind the yard.

"Big ...... Lao Liu......, ...... are you? ”

"Me? Hehe, he eats with a mouthful of food, he has no other skills, and he is a rough man who can only hunt all his life. ”

A monster that drops hundreds of thousands of blood in one arrow in seconds, it's called incompetent??

Am I not a wasted person......

I tried to resolve the embarrassment, looking for a topic to chat: "I think you are very good, why don't you go to the city to find an industry with this ability, how boring it is to be lonely in this deep forest?" ”

Lao Liu shook his head and was very resolute: "Don't go, I have a good situation, I like this realm, I also like hunting, I can support myself with the things I like, why should I go to the whole country to be a cow and a horse?" ”

…… Lao Liu, don't say anything else, we are bosom friends at this point! ……

After cleaning the living room of the bloody hula, Lao Liu looked at me and said, "By the way, the fireflies in my trap are almost dead, you go and catch some for me." ”

"Huh?"

"Do you want to accept the task of [Orion Lao Liu]: [Capture Fireflies]?"

Oh roar? There is still a task, so of course I have to take it!

"Player Xingyu accepts the mission: [Capture Fireflies]."

【Catch fireflies】

Brief Description: Find the fireflies scattered around, capture a sufficient number and give them to [Orion Lao Liu].

Requirements: [Firefly] *500.

"I'm Nima!! Catch 500!! You're going to stew and eat it! ”

I thought it would be enough to catch ten or eight, but the ghost thought that he would have to catch 500! Are you going to let me catch all the fireflies in this forest for you?

Seeing that I was so surprised, Lao Liu handed me an insect trap net with a dark face: "What's the noise?" Can't you catch a bug if you're young and strong? I'm going to collect my trap, or I'll need you? It's only 500, how can I go out and catch 1,800 of them? ”

One thousand eight hundred......

Fireflies aren't easy to live either......

"Okay, I'll go get some for you......"

When I left the courtyard, I deliberately marked the coordinate points on the map, for fear that I would get lost and not find this place for a while.

If you use ordinary methods to catch fireflies, it must be time-consuming and laborious, because this thing is scattered, one by one, you have to explain here all day, fortunately I am careful, I have a good judgment of the size of things here, and know that fireflies will be attracted to animal carcasses, so just find a place where fireflies are slightly denser and place an animal carcass.

So, the next step is to find a lucky animal at random that I killed.

As I was thinking this, an icon of a charged assault appeared in front of me, approaching behind the dense bushes.

The lucky ones threw themselves into the net~~......

In order to maximize the spread of the smell of this corpse, I directly hoisted the beast that was almost beaten into a pulp in the air, and the hanging target had a remarkable effect, and after a short time many fireflies approached, and I squatted aside and waited, and when there were many of them, I came out to catch a few nets; The caught fireflies don't need to be placed in any fixed container, they can be put directly into the backpack, and they don't occupy many grids, all of them are stacked in a single grid to count, like a cumulative, which is much easier than I expected.

But catching fireflies is not so smooth, in addition to fireflies, other beasts will also be attracted by the smell of blood, too much fighting movement will also scare fireflies away, so I have to keep the surrounding beasts from making trouble, and at the same time make sure that the movement is very small, and the corpses used to attract will be refreshed after a while, so I have to look for lucky animals again, trivial and trivial, catching five hundred fireflies took me nearly two hours.

"Lao Liu! I'm back! ”

Returning to the courtyard with the fruits of the harvest, Lao Liu was sitting on the steps weaving some kind of tool with wooden strips, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw me coming back: "Yes, it took a short time." ”

"Player Xingyu completes the task: [Capture Fireflies] and gains +1% experience points at the current level."

it? Catching a firefly actually gives you a 1% experience point bonus?!! Say it earlier!! Otherwise, I won't do anything today, and I'll catch fireflies! Catch thousands of them in a day, and that level can't take off with a whoosh?

Lao Liu got up and put the woven things into the cloth bag he was carrying cross-body and beckoned to me: "There are just the fireflies you caught, and my trap can also go out and rearrange, if you want to come, come along." ”

"Do you accept the task of [Orion Lao Liu]: [Lay a trap]?"

Accept, have to accept, I found out that this guy is a big honey pot! How can I let it go when it comes to me?

"Player Xingyu accepts the mission: [Set a trap]."

【Trap Setting】

Description: Assist [Orion Lao Liu] in setting traps in the forest to catch wild beasts.

Requirements: Successfully place [Bird Trap] x20 and [Beast Trap] x20.

was just about to happily follow out, but saw Lao Liu enter the house again, and then took out a large pile of wood, sticks, vines, and slivers, which were still stacked on the ground more than a meter high.

"Pick these up."

"Huh?" I looked around suspiciously, then pointed to myself, "Shall I take it?" ”

"Or else? I'll take it, and you'll do the trap? ”

The skills are not as good as people, so I can only pick up the materials in the past, but fortunately I have an infinite backpack, and I'm really not afraid of your stuff.

Picking up the wooden stick and putting it in the backpack, the system suddenly prompted me to make a complete mess.

"This item cannot fit into a backpack."

Change the vine slivers.

"This item cannot fit into a backpack."

Do I rub? I don't believe it yet! Change to a smaller stick!

"This item cannot fit into a backpack."

……

Suddenly I was overwhelmed, not only the big objects, but also a small wooden wedge that could not fit into the backpack, which meant that these things had to be carried by my bare hands.

Lao Liu, who had already put on the animal skin and carried the arrows on his back, walked to the door and looked back, with various urges and disgust in his tone: "What are you doing?" Grinding and chirping for a long time, can't even pick up something? ”

"Come on......! Finish......! ”

I just stubbornly used my hands to hold a large pile of broken wood to keep up with Lao Liu's pace, because the height of the stack exceeded the top of my head, so I had no vision in front of me, so I could only walk sideways like a crab sideways.

And the biggest disadvantage of this way of walking is that you can't look down at the road under your feet when you have a shoulder to carry it.

And the stumbling stone.

"Hey......! Alas......! Oops! ”

"Boom la la ......"
