Chapter 10: The Wound of the White Deer
Even at noon, the depths of the silver pine forest are not very bright, and the sunlight is difficult to penetrate the layers of shading, shining on the ground, turning into irregular patches of light. The rays of sunlight seemed to cast a light veil over the dark forest.
The chirping of insects and birds in the forest seemed to be deeper and deeper, and there was a sound of sooting in the grass, indicating that the forest was not as calm as it seemed.
The depths of the forest are never a safe place, and even the most experienced hunters rarely go deep into the jungle alone. It is only in autumn that the hunters go deeper into the forest, and they hunt in groups of three or five with a large number of hounds.
This mysterious and awe-inspiring forest is a generous host, but if the guests are too presumptuous, they are often left behind by the host and never go back.
From the very beginning of their understanding, Gruyar's children were warned by the adults in the family that they were not allowed to enter the forest without permission.
The forest provided Gruyar with an abundance of supplies: wood, herbs, furs, game, pine nuts...... It nurtures Gruyar, but it also devours the gruffy daredevils of the Ones.
Charlotte decides to go deep into the Silver Pine Forest to help the forest spirit who has saved his life, the White Deer, who may be in serious trouble.
He is a do-it-all person, and although he hasn't figured out how to find Bailu yet, he knows that he can't find Bailu if he stays in the town.
He decided to go deep into the forest first, if the white deer was indeed an elf born in the forest as rumored, then it was very likely that it would sense Charlotte's actions, and maybe it would take the initiative to contact Charlotte.
Even if Bailu didn't take the initiative to find Xia Luo, Xia Luo could also search for traces in the forest, after all, it could hurt the elves of the forest, and the scene should not be a small fight, and there would always be some traces.
And Charlotte has the map function that comes with the Vientiane card system, so that it will not take the wrong road, and the chance of finding the white deer will be much greater.
But things didn't go for the best, and Bailu didn't take the initiative to find Charlotte. As for whether Bailu was cautious and didn't believe in Charlotte, or whether it was not clear that there was someone who wanted to help him, then we don't know.
Thankfully, Charlotte discovers that her new summon, the Bloodbore Velociraptor, has a very sensitive sense of smell, and it can smell very subtle scents. And its IQ is very high, you can see that it is at least several grades smarter than the stone tooth boar, if you look at its dripping eyes.
In fact, this velociraptor has an intelligence stat of up to 11 points! And even far beyond the intelligence of ordinary people. This was very helpful for Charlotte's search plan.
The Bloodswamp Velociraptor was about 1.6 meters tall and had a mouth of fangs. The eyes are golden vertical pupils, dripping and turning endlessly, and the probe looks very treacherous. A pair of large claws are very hideous, the hind legs are thick and flexible, and they are very good at jumping.
The velociraptor was covered in dark red scales, hiding in the bushes and shadows. It screamed like a very low and penetrating sound from its throat. It's like some kind of birdsong in the depths of the woods......
[Blood Swamp Velociraptor, Level 3 (Black Iron Lower), Dinosaur,
Strength: 12, Constitution 14, Agility 15, Intelligence 11, Perception 14, Charisma 9.
Skills: Jump (white), Tear (white), Claw Strike (white), Split Armor (green).
Notes: Become a Dinosaur Rider!
Charlotte had tried to describe the White Deer's information carefully to the velociraptor and judging from its reaction, although it could not speak, it could understand Charlotte's words.
The stone tooth boar was far behind in this regard, and as soon as Charlotte didn't pay attention, the pig's head ran under the tree to arch mushrooms and truffles and eat them. Kick it on both feet and it snort, and after a while it runs under the tree and arches around. It's almost going to Charlotte to death.
Time passed in the search, and there were no clues. However, after two days of searching, the velociraptor was able to roughly determine that Bailu had been active in this range.
Soon night fell, and Charlotte set up her tent and lit a bonfire, ready to roast a rabbit that she had picked up.
The velociraptor was named by Charlotte haha, and at this time it was lying by the fire, squinting and not knowing if it was resting.
The Clay Stone Demon had turned into a puddle of dirt, right next to the tent, and its form was helpful in sensing the shaking of the earth. Stone demons don't need to rest, they don't need to eat, they are tireless, and they are the most competent guards. Without it, Charlotte would have had to keep one eye open when she slept in the forest.
Wait a minute! Huh, where's the go? What about playing in the arch soil nearby?
Hum is the Stonetooth Boar, the name Charlotte just gave today, because it kicked and snorted twice. In this way, the two generals are all right......
Forget it, it's already dark, and I can't look any further. Think of this time as free time. Hum hasn't been seriously arched over the ground for a day, and now he should be hungry and panicked. Although none of them need to eat.
"Humph! Hum ...... "At this time, there was a sudden rapid humming not far away, it was a humming cry!"
Charlotte dropped the half-roasted rabbit in her hand, grabbed the Dolan sword and a burning stick at her feet, and ran in the direction of humming. The stone demon followed him, and the velociraptor haha, who reacted faster than the two of them, had already scurried far away.
It's not far, more than ten meters, because the forest is dense, so Xia Luo didn't find it just now. When Charlotte ran there, she found Haha and Hum observing something on the ground.
Charlotte crouched down to take a closer look and noticed a few drops of blood on the blades of grass. It looks like it's been dripping for a short time, but it's still bubbling with a faint white light! It's so faint that you can't even notice it in the dark without looking closely.
The blood that emits a faint white light, and Charlotte can't think of any other creatures except for the white deer.
Charlotte couldn't help patting the humming pig's head and boasting, "Yo! It's me who underestimated you, hum! Is that okay? I didn't expect you to find the clue first......"
Hmph, although I don't know why the owner praised him, but I'm very happy. At this time, Haha twisted his head to the side, and looked at the proud pig face with great disdain.
It's easy to find a clue, haha searched all the way to the smell and went deeper into the woods, and Charlotte and his party followed. After a while, Charlotte noticed that something was different.
The environment seems to be changing, and the change is like you are on the mountain, and the air is getting cleaner!
It's a change that you can't see or touch, but you can feel. Charlotte didn't know what it was, and she didn't know how to describe it.
Suddenly, he found something strange in his character column, and he had an extra BUFF!
"Mana Convergence: You are in a place where mana converges, +10% mana regeneration rate."
Where the magic converges? Does this mean that he is closer to Bailu?
After about half an hour, when Charlotte's buff became +20% mana regeneration, Charlotte saw a large tree.
Even in the silver pine forest, it is difficult to see such a huge pine tree! Its thickness is about a dozen people hugging, but it is not high, it has a peculiar shape, it does not grow straight, but a bit like the very clumsy form of the welcome pine
Charlotte approached the pine tree and saw that its bark was layered like dragon scales, and the rough cracks in the bark were even thicker than a finger. The entire canopy is layered on top of each other, like a giant's umbrella.
As soon as Charlotte looked up, he saw a huge pine tower on his head, which was not much smaller than his own head!
And the white deer that Charlotte had been looking for for two days was lying under the pine tree, and it was quietly watching Charlotte and his party at this time.
Charlotte was afraid that there were wild boars, dinosaurs, and stone demons on his side, and it would not be good to scare the white deer again. He waved them not to follow, and slowly approached the white deer himself.
He walked very slowly, for fear that Bailu would misunderstand. Seeing him approaching, Bailu was really a little nervous, and put away his legs to get up.
Xia Luo quickly stopped, waved his hand quickly, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." I don't mean ......" Bailu seemed to understand, although he still stared at Xia Luo, but did not continue to get up.
"You saved me just a few months ago, right here in the forest. Do you remember? Charlotte stood still, continuing to close. He comforted the white deer while looking at the beautiful elf.
The handsome antlers pointed obliquely to the sky, the slender neck looked very elegant, and the big deep eyes looked like a pool of spring water. Xia Luo got closer and found that the white deer did not only have a white color, but had light purple ** lines on its body like a cloud of auspicious clouds.
Charlotte heard old John say that many rare beasts have various colors of magic patterns on their bodies, which shows that they have strong spell-casting ability. Clothes made of this leather have a special effect, and the quality of the scrolls and leather armor is very good. Therefore, this kind of leather is very popular with noblewomen and masters, and the price is amazing.
Then Charlotte saw a sad picture of a terrible wound on the back of this beautiful creature!
A round hole in flesh and blood! According to Charlotte's knowledge gained during this period of training, it should be a wound caused by a spear or javelin.
The terrible thing is that there is a faint black gas entwining on the wound, and the blood stains flowing out of the surrounding area have dried up, but I don't know how long it has been since the wound has not healed!
"Don't be afraid, I want to help you ......" Charlotte slowly rubbed in front of him, slowly crouching down to carefully examine the strange wound.
"Who hurt you so badly? Is there anything I can do for you? ”
The white deer stared at Xia Luo's eyes, and Xia Luo did not avoid its gaze, and also looked at the white deer. A white light began to appear in front of Charlotte's eyes, and the image in front of her seemed to be moving rapidly. Then Charlotte saw the picture of Bailu being injured.
It's the wild and capable! The wild goblins caught many animals and did not kill them, but kept abusing them, making them scream and attracting white deer.
A large number of wild goblins have set traps in advance, but the white deer is worthy of being born in the forest, it is full of white light, whether it is a trap bow and arrow, or a rope machete is flicked away from afar. No amount of traps or weapons can hurt it.
Just as the white deer was galloping among the wild goblins, a bear goblin suddenly emerged from under the shade of the tree! That's right, very tall and strong, covered in thick hair, like a brown bear with the head of a wild goblin on top of it.
According to Old John, it was a bear goblin.
It held a crude javelin with purple-black poison dripping from its tip. A very rare old wild goblin next to it raised the staff in his hand, and black gas immediately came out of the tip of the spear! It was the bear goblin who attacked the white deer......
As soon as the picture turned, the white deer escaped from the trap with his injuries, and he quickly shook off his pursuers, but the wound on his back could not heal.
Even if a large amount of white light appeared on the white deer's body, it temporarily extinguished the black smoke on the wound, and it didn't take long for black smoke to come out of the wound. The white deer is getting weaker and weaker......
Boy! It is worthy of being a natural spirit born in the forest, and it still has such a powerful ability! What is this trick called? Telepathy? Memory projection? Is he connected? Through the information given by the white deer, Charlotte learned the ins and outs of its injury.
After Bailu told Charlotte what had happened in a very magical way, he became weaker and weaker, and he couldn't even lift his head.
"How can I help you? Do therapeutic agents work? Charlotte hurriedly pulled out the vial of primary healing potion stuck in her belt.
"Do you really want to help Dabai?" At this time, a milky sound sounded over Charlotte's head.
Someone? As soon as Charlotte looked up, she saw that it was a little goblin with dragonfly wings who was talking! The leprechaun was like a little girl with two pairs of dragonfly-like transparent wings. But it's only about 10 centimeters in size! There is also a small yellow flower growing on the head.
When she saw that Charlotte had spotted her, she immediately timidly hid behind the white deer's antlers.
