Chapter 57: Apprenticeship?
Xu Fan watched Murong Li gently wipe the oil stains from the corners of the little fox's mouth, and kissed the little fox with tears in his eyes, oh, no, he wiped his mouth clean with tears.
After a full meal, Xu Fan recalled that what he ate didn't seem to be meat, but in the end, after eating it, there was nothing that didn't look like meat.
Xu Fan looked at Murong Li and asked, "What we just ate is the root of this tree?" ”
Murong Li also understood what Xu Fan meant, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's the root of this tree, but it's also meat." ”
"Uh, what the hell!" Xu Fan was speechless and continued: "Vegetarian is vegetarian, meat is meat, no matter how much it tastes like meat, it has to be called vegetarian." ”
"That's right, so you're eating meat."
"Don't lie to me, I can still distinguish between meat and vegetarian food, and the rhizome you cut off from the tree can be called meat." Xu Fan glanced at Murong Li, he had to come up with a better trick to deceive himself, he was not a fool.
Murong Li looked at him, smiled politely, and said softly, "Really? ”
Looking at this expression, Xu Fan had a bad premonition, and always felt that he would be slapped in the face again.
"Isn't this a tree?" Xu Fan shook his head and asked.
Murong Li explained: "These trees, I call them Pine Fire Beasts, they are not cold trees, they are also living beings, in the same way, they also have the existence of thinking, but compared to other alien beasts, they are not easy to detect, but on the contrary, their lifespan is much longer than other alien beasts, in fact, they are moving all the time, but the range of movement is too small for you to notice." ”
"The Pine Fire Beast surrounded the whole village and guarded the village, and the people in the village were also called Tianshu, and Tianshu Village also came in this way."
Xu Fan's face was a little cloudy, although he had roughly guessed some of the contents, but when he heard Murong Li say it again, it was still a little shocking.
Trees have their own minds, they have become an animal, and their own insights seem a little too coarse.
Xu Fan carefully felt the whole forest, his heart calmed down, and he could feel the wriggling rhizomes in the ground, and the pattern of the entire forest was slowly changing.
"If these pine fire beasts have their own minds, then they don't have to wait for other creatures to contact them, they can kill their prey by surprise."
In other words, he had just been on the verge of death, and the reason why the Pine Fire Beast didn't make a move was probably because it had nothing to do with Murong Li.
Xu Fan opened his eyes and glanced at Murong Li, he didn't notice anything unusual about her, but he didn't ask, everyone has their own secrets, and he didn't want to know about them.
"Oops!"
Xu Fan suddenly jumped up and shouted.
Murong Li also jumped a little, and the little fox in his arms stared at Xu Fan even more fiercely, ready to swallow Xu Fan at any time.
"What are you doing? When you are shocked, you will be scared to death. Murong Li looked at Xu Fan in shock, she was also pondering just now, Xu Fan's sudden roar really startled her.
"I suddenly remembered that there were five 2Bs still waiting for us, and after waiting for a day, I don't know if this group of people is hungry." Xu Fan waved his hand and said helplessly.
"From what I know about them, maybe they've already gone back?" Murong Li also has a certain understanding of them, they are not the kind of people who like to endure hardship.
"Hopefully, don't go back to the door when the time comes, and there are five corpses lying at the door."
Murong Li glanced at it and whispered, "Otherwise, let's bring them something back." ”
"Yes!" Xu Fan nodded.
Murong Li's technique is very skillful, and things will be ready quickly.
"Alright, let's go!" Murong Li said.
Xu Fan looked at the golden pine fire beast barbecue in Murong Li's hand, and a large amount of saliva automatically secreted from his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and said, "I'll take it!" ”
Murong Li looked at Xu Fan and always felt that it was not very reliable for him, but he still handed it to Xu Fan.
Sure enough, Xu Fan took it, directly tore off a small piece of golden skin and put it in his mouth, revealing an expression of great enjoyment.
Looking at the things in Xu Fan's hand, the little fox couldn't sit still, and jumped directly on Xu Fan's shoulder, but he didn't dislike him, only the existence of barbecue meat in his eyes.
Murong Li walked in front, this man and beast followed behind, as for what they were doing behind him, Murong Li knew it without looking at it, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them, but he just said helplessly, "You all stop a little, don't go too far, or leave some for them." ”
Behind, a man and a beast looked at the roast meat that was only the size of a foot left, and they all consciously put their hands and claws back.
"Hiccup, I almost feel it." Xu Fan didn't forget to say one more word.
"Huh!"
Murong Li, who was walking in front, almost fell when he heard this, this thing that was close to fifty catties, he ate at least three-fifths of it alone, the little fox ate two-fifths, and the remaining small piece was Li Xin and the five of them, and he actually said that he almost felt it.
Murong Li really wanted to cut open the belly of this man and beast to see what it was made of, and he couldn't break it after eating so much.
The little fox glanced at Xu Fan, showed a disgusted look, and jumped off his shoulder.
Xu Fan looked at the little fox, and didn't know what to say for a moment, the joy when eating together, the joy of sharing joys and sorrows, and sharing weal and woe, this face became too fast.
"Sure enough, this guy is a white-eyed wolf, no, a white-eyed fox." Xu Fan said secretly.
Suddenly, Xu Fan felt a very bad look at him, turned his head, and found that the little fox was looking at him very unfriendly.
"Could it be that it heard me scolding it, it can't be, I just thought about it, did I speak? Not really. It's a monster! Xu Fan panicked, hovering infinitely between self-denial and self-affirmation.
"It doesn't seem like there's anyone!" Murong Li looked at the front of the small attic, and there seemed to be no one.
"It's so late, I may have gone back!" Xu Fan glanced at it, but didn't see a figure, and replied leisurely, he still has to guard against the little fox on the side, and he always feels that this guy will suddenly burst out and swallow himself.
On the ground, five people were lying indiscriminately, Zhou Hao slowly opened his eyes, looked at the slowly rising half of the moon, and said weakly, "Big brother, I'm really powerless, I haven't eaten for a day and a half since yesterday, and if this continues, we will all starve to death here." ”
"Who TM said in the morning not to eat, look at the old... I'm not going to kill him when I go back! Li Xin also wanted to scold, but he was so hungry that he couldn't lift his strength at all, and his tone was two beats lower.
"Big brother, you said let's not delay time, let's hurry up, and said not to give Xu Fan... Brother Fan left a bad image. Hu Long was cautious, for fear of saying a wrong word.
Li Xin was a little embarrassed, and said in a somewhat weaker tone, "Do you think I don't know what I said, I'm just testing you to see if you take your eldest brother's words to heart, Hu Long, you are very good this time, and you deserve to be rewarded, as for you, just stay here and continue to wait, this is a punishment for you." ”
"Hu Long, help me up!" Li Xin shouted.
Hu Long finally got up and reached out to pull Li Xin, but he didn't pull it up, but was pulled down by Li Xin and pressed on Li Xin.
Hu Long lay on Li Xin's body and said with a look of enjoyment: "Big brother, your body is so soft, it's really comfortable to lie down." ”
"Open it for me, what is soft, no matter how soft it is, you can't lie down, this solid chest, only beauties can lie down, beauties understand, only people like Ah Li can be counted as beauties, you, do you think you deserve to be called a beauty?" Li Xin pushed Hu Long away and said by his ear.
After lying down for a while, Li Xin got up from the ground with difficulty.
It just so happened that Xu Fan and Murong Li also returned.
"Ah~"
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of the two of them, causing Murong Li to scream in fright.
"What's that?"
Xu Fan didn't say a word, and went up with a punch, directly knocking down the black shadow.
"Ah, don't fight, don't fight, it's me, it's me!"
Another scream sounded, Li Xin fell to the ground again, watching Xu Fan crying and begging for mercy.
Li Xin was also speechless, he provoked someone, he finally got up from the ground, and was knocked down by Xu Fan's punch.
Through the faint moonlight, Xu Fan found five people lying on the ground.
"If you don't go home, why are you lying here, don't tell me it's for the moon, five big men, this meeting is not elegant enough." Xu Fan squatted down, looked at them with interest and asked.
"We're waiting for you?" Li Xin said with an aggrieved face, he had waited for Xu Fan here for so long, and in the end he had to be beaten by him, and he wondered if he had done something sorry for Xu Fan in his previous life.
"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me for?" Xu Fan looked at them curiously.
Looking at Xu Fan, Li Xin's tone suddenly changed, and he said with a serious face: "I want to worship you as a teacher, I want to become stronger." ”
"That's right, we want to apprentice, we want to become stronger!" Others chimed in.
"Ugh!"
Xu Fan scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at the five people and said, "You don't need to apprentice, but if you want to train, you can train with me." ”
Looking at Li Xin's eyes, Xu Fan immediately understood that although they looked like two, they were all people with stories, and as for what kind of things, Xu Fan would not ask more.
As for accepting apprentices, it's not that Xu Fan doesn't want to accept apprentices, he himself is just a rookie who has just entered the world of cultivators, there are too many things that he still hasn't understood, and he still needs to understand.
"By the way, I haven't eaten yet, this is for you." Xu Fan looked at the five of them one by one, and then remembered that there was still a little thing left, and handed them the only piece of roast meat the size of the sole of his foot.
Murong Li looked at this piece of meat, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, this person and beast were too ruthless, he stole the big head and ate it, and the rest was brought back, because they had a face.
Feeling Murong Li's death-like eyes, Xu Fan didn't dare to look back, and could only say that he looked into the distance.
As for the little fox, he didn't know where he had slipped away for a long time.
