Chapter 9 Laxity
Walking along the rugged trail, stepping on a ground of dead leaves, walking from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, on both sides of the path, rocks are scattered on the slopes, densely crowded with trees of different heights and thicknesses, intertwined with roots.
The morning fog is thick and disappears as the sun rises. The overlapping leaves hung low, the leafy foliage was woven into the sky, and the morning sun shone through the gaps in the trees to crisscross the pillars of light, and the dust flew in the sunlight, and Deyuran stood in the shade of the trees.
No.
No.
How could it not.
It's been a little time since I've been in the forest, and De Yulan remembers it clearly, the game was full of bobcats, and there were several goblin gathering points, but now he didn't find anything. There were quite a few small animals, and there were still chirping birds overhead, and squirrels were jumping on the branches with pine cones in their arms. I had seen a hare, but when I stepped on a dead branch, I heard a slight "click" and disappeared immediately.
Keep going.
The short sword was still a little shorter, and Vernet was using a branch she had picked up as a crutch, and it was a little more tiring to climb up and down and walk around today than to exercise, and finally exhausted her: "Dejulan, no bobcats, no goblins, nothing." ”
"I don't know if you ask me, there are a lot of them." De Youlan also complained that no one expected to encounter this situation, and it was actually an empty city plan.
De Yulan jumped up a slope, and Wei Nei looked at him with his head down and looked around, and asked curiously, "What are you looking for, what are you looking for, have you lost something?" ”
"Nope." "I'm looking for footprints, bobcat footprints, and if I find footprints, I might be able to find a bobcat if I follow the footprints." Goblins can too. Wild boars can also be, well, wild boars still can't. "I haven't eaten pork, I've seen a pig run, how can a hunter track his prey? Looking at the footprints on the ground, he knew that the footprints of the bobcat seemed to be plum blossoms, the wild boar was hooves, the goblin only had three toes, and feces could also be used, which he didn't know at all.
"Did you find it?" Vernet asked.
Dejuran replied, "No." ”
Vernet's shoulders slumped suddenly.
"It's not all going to be killed by the adventurers, is it?"
"I don't know." No matter how many bobcats and goblins the player kills in the game, they will always refresh after a period of time. When the game becomes a reality, and all the bobcats and goblins in an area are hunted, in another sense, you need to wait for the bobcats and goblins to come from other places. The above is very unlikely, unless there have been many adventurers involved in the sweeping hunt before, it is more likely that it is just bad luck, and in a way, it is also good, after all, it is only a little walk, Deyulan said, "or we will walk again, and go deep into the mountains." ”
"Okay." "Dejuran remember the way, we won't get lost." ”
"No problem." There is no road in the world, but when there are many people walking, it becomes a road. De Yulan glanced in the direction he came, he was not a road idiot, he remembered the way back, went down the mountain, and then walked along the path, and he could see patches of wheat fields, and golden waves of wheat rolling in the wind......
Moving on, they finally saw the bobcat, with black tufts of hair on the tips of its ears and drooping long hair on its cheeks, and its size was close to that of a large dog, like a large lynx, and it seemed to be quite oppressive, hidden in the thick of weeds, and it would not have been possible to find it if it had not been for its movement.
"Bobcat, Bobcat, Bobcat." Vine said excitedly.
"Shhhh De Juran stretched out his hand and instructed Yiwene to whisper, and as he walked, he drew his sword and took a stance, and just took a step, only to see that the lynx turned its face to see that they were not moving, and then scratched its face, licked its paws, and disappeared into the bushes with a slight leap.
Vine said, "Ran away." ”
"I see it." De Youlan said.
How did you run away? Waste of feelings. He thought about it, unless they were hungry, well-fed wild animals rarely attacked people. However, in addition to killing for food, cats also kill for fun, as if wild cats are bird killers, please do not feed wild cats casually, if you have love, adopt them, but do not easily attack objects that seem bigger than yourself.
The bobcat disappeared completely, disappeared without a trace, and Wei Nei was deflated: "I actually ran away." She paused, "I'm so tired, De Yolan, let's get some rest." ”
Vernet found a large moss-covered boulder and sat on it to rest, clenching her hands into fists and gently pounding her thighs.
De Yulan sat down next to the little girl, feeling a little thirsty, and then remembered that he had forgotten to bring water out, and that he had a magic bag for convenient storage, and he said, "I forgot to bring water." Be sure to bring water next time you come out. Vene, you also remember, in case I forgot to remind me. ”
"Okay."
"And something to eat, just in case." De Youlan drew inferences from one case and put forward many opinions, thinking of the problem of staying in the wilderness, and not considering staying in the wilderness at present.
When Vernet saw that the dwarf bush was covered with small red fruits, she held out her hand and said, "I'm hungry...... Wild fruits, which look delicious. ”
De Yulan asked, "Do you know each other?" ”
"I don't know."
"If you don't know it, you can't eat it."
"Why?"
"What if it's poisonous." De Youlan said.
"It doesn't look poisonous."
Deyulan asked rhetorically: "Is it poisonous, can you see it?" ”
"Oh." Vernet answered, and she saw something again, "Mushrooms." ”
"Where?"
"There."
Following the direction of the little girl's finger, De Yulan saw the umbrella-shaped mushroom growing next to the hollow stake that had fallen to the ground, and he said, "It must be poisonous...... Vinet, I teach you, colorful and colorful mushrooms are mostly poisonous. Not only mushrooms, but also many other animals and insects, the bright colors are used to remind hunters to be careful and not to attack, otherwise they will bear the consequences. He paused and laughed, "And, Vene, you have to remember, the more beautiful the woman...... The more handsome a man is, the more he will deceive. ”
"I don't believe it." Vine said.
"What am I lying to you for?"
"De Youlan is so handsome, but he is a good person, not a bad person." Vene looked at De Youlan with a sweet smile on her face, she was originally uneasy about being adopted, she had heard before, some people adopted children and abused children, did not give them food, did not give them clothes to wear, and some people broke their children's hands and feet to force children to beg for themselves, it is said that the killer group likes to adopt children and train them to be assassins, killing people everywhere...... It seems that Deyulan also wants to train himself to be a powerful person, and he is forced to practice swords every day, although he doesn't say what he wants to do, could it be that he wants to train him to be a thug?
De Youlan didn't know what the little girl's little brain was thinking, he only heard the little girl praise herself on the side, looking at the innocent eyes were definitely not sycophants, he reached out and pinched the round face of this pleasing little girl, showing a knowing smile, although there are some bears, in the end it is still a healing system, it is simply amazing: "You are right." ”
"Hey, hey."
De Youlan said: "Yes, whether it is good or not, whether it is bad or not, whether it will deceive people or not, has nothing to do with whether a person is beautiful or handsome." ”
After resting for a while, nothing can be achieved for half a day, and it is not a way to go on like this. De Youlan couldn't bear not knowing the time, so he bought a pocket watch at the watch shop a long time ago, flicked open the cover, and took a look: "It's almost time to sit down...... Now at eleven o'clock, let's find another half...... An hour, and then just go back. ”
With the sound of "pop-", De Yulan closed his pocket watch, and suddenly Wei Nei pulled his pants: "De Youlan." ”
"Huh?"
"It's the guy that day." Weinet whispered, "Are you following us, planning to kill us for money?" ”
"No, it won't." De Yulan stood up, looked over, narrowed his eyes slightly, touched the hilt of the sword and released it, it was okay to be careful and vigilant, it seemed that it was not good to behave too obviously, in case it wasn't. His left hand hung down, and his right hand touched his waist bag. It's an ordinary fanny pack, if you use the terminology of the game, it's an instant pack, small is small, and the advantage of small is that you don't have much to put in and can be flexibly accessed, allowing it to be used in a combat state.
De Yulan watched the man approach, and heard him say, "It's you...... Are you also adventuring here? ”
After all, ninety-nine percent of his life lives in a civilized society, and hearing the man's words, De Youlan's vigilance decreased a little, and he laughed: "What a coincidence. ”
"Are you here to hunt bobcats or goblins?"
The man said, his footsteps did not stop, and he gradually walked away. It seemed that it was just a coincidence, and there was a false alarm, and Vene walked away from De Julan's side, to which De Juran replied, "Anything is fine." ”
"That's right." The man paused, "Be careful, I've heard that there have been grizzly bears around here lately...... Several adventurers were dragged away. ”
"I see. Thank you. ”
De Yulan said, and suddenly saw the man rushing over, grabbed Weine's arm, held it in front of him, pulled out the dagger at his waist and put it on Weine's neck, and didn't react for a while.
"What do you mean?" De Youlan drew his sword and asked in a deep voice.
