Chapter 61: Help
The arrow pointed to the sky, and as soon as the bowstring was loosened, a special arrow flew straight over the woodland. The stability of the elongated arrow platform www.biquge.info is much stronger than before, and the arrow can only lose its stamina when it flies to more than 100 meters above the sky.
Shentu Miaoling lowered her bow, and the two boys also closed their eyes in unison, and after a violent flash, a pink smoke filled the sky.
The pink powder is the credit of dyed jade. The dyed jade is a fruit with a strong smell and rich color, and once the processed dyed jade is thrown on the monster, it will not fade even if it is soaked in water. The conspicuous pink color can be sprinkled on the ground and vegetation along the path of the monster as it moves, so that hunters can track it.
Feng Dust tied the dyed jade and the glittering jade together and tied them to the arrows of the arrow, and the strong flash and long-lasting red smoke were the signals that the partners had agreed on before leaving.
Shentu Miaoling has to release an arrow into the sky every few hours, which is not only to report the location, but also to report safety.
"That's it." The girl looked up and watched as the smoke cleared.
"I've set up some dyeing traps by the river." Feng Chen patted the dust on his hands, "As long as there are colorful birds to fish, you can find traces along the vine." ”
"Aren't we going to stay here?" Shentu Miaoling asked.
"The river is the most dangerous place in the forest, and encountering the monster drinking water will inevitably be another battle." Feng Chen explained, "Before we find the colored bird, let's try to avoid a meaningless waste of physical strength." Besides, there are two tributaries in this valley, and we can't put our eggs in the same basket. ”
"In that case, what if it's another large monster that triggers the trap?"
Feng Chen pointed to the silk thread on the branch that he didn't know how he had erected; "The one that can trigger my trap is either a flying species or a large monster with a height of eight meters, if there is such a monster, we should find a cave to hide."
…………
The valley was larger than expected, and although it was possible to go straight to the second tributary with a rough memory of the terrain, it was already noon when I found a relatively narrow place along the river where a wooden fence could be erected.
The two boys did the same, cutting off the branches around the trees, and Shentu Miaoling took on the role of guard again.
Several people quarreled over whether to build a bonfire, and although they were worried about the safety of the team, Shentu Miaoling, who was hungry for grilled fish, still voted "yes". Everyone in the camp tacitly was only responsible for their own meals, and God knows what this young girl, who didn't seem to have touched the spring water, had eaten every day for the past month.
The fish trapped on one side of the fence cheapened the greedy boy, and at the insistence of the little hunter, everyone found a small clearing a little far from the water's edge and lit a bonfire. A simple sashimi fish was being worn on the makeshift grill, and watching the flesh sizzle under the scorching of the bonfire, Feng Chen swallowed his saliva and stopped mentioning the ban on making fires.
There was no seasoning, so Nie Xiaoyang sprinkled the powder made from dry food and dried meat on the grilled fish. The dried meat is very salty, but the dry food has a sweet aroma, coupled with the tenderness of the fish itself and the burnt aroma of the skin, which makes the tall man raise face in front of the two.
Each of the three of them was divided into one, and the fourth one on the shelf was immediately cooked. Shentu Miaoling sat by the grill in spite of the reserve, watching the chef test the ripeness of each part of the fish with a sharp stick.
"Want that?" With the girl by her side, Nie Xiaoyang turned the fish very diligently, as if doing so would make the food more delicious.
The temperature of the bonfire burned her eyes a little, and Shentu Miaoling closed her eyes, but quietly opened a slit to observe the grilled fish.
"You've been cutting down branches all morning." Her words remained calm and cold, "Let's replenish your strength first, it's not safe here, we have to be ready to fight at any time." ”
As he spoke, a strong smell of fish with rising heat entered his nostrils, and Nie Xiaoyang had already handed the grilled fish to the girl.
Shentu Miaoling opened her eyes and looked at the delicious fish meat that was only a few centimeters away from the tip of her nose, and her throat moved up and down unconsciously.
"Eat, we've got it." The tall man smiled, his already dark face even worse after being roasted by the campfire.
Seeing her teammates nodding affirmatively again, the girl stretched out her jade hand, took the grilled fish, tore open the skin, and chewed the tender fish in small bites.
"Do you do this often?" Shentu Miaoling half-covered her mouth and asked a little vaguely.
"Well, I grew up in a barracks." Nie Xiaoyang picked up another fish placed on the shield and quickly threaded it onto the sharpened branches, "It's not a hunter's camp, it's the troops of the real kingdom." ”
"When my father and uncle were stationed in the south, there was a time when we would catch some fish every day and grill them to eat." He missed, "It was the most wonderful time I've ever had." ”
"Why did you live with the army?" The girl's wonderful eyes looked at Nie Xiaoyang, "What about your mother?" ”
"My mother died young, and that's another story." He shook his head, "My father was an officer, and he was still a more powerful ......."
Speaking of this, he won't go on, everyone's past experience is the biggest secret in this camp, whether the other party is the closest friend or a beautiful girl like Shentu Miaoling, you must be vigilant when mentioning this.
"I'm sorry." The girl was apologetic, she didn't mean to mention something sad, and she didn't want to probe into the tall man's privacy. But the teeth are full of pleasant fragrance, and Shentu Miaoling is in a good mood, and she unconsciously wants to say more to the young man in front of her.
"It's okay, it's all old." The boy turned the fish over and sprinkled it evenly with freshly made seasonings.
"Do you cook anything else?" The girl was attentive and steered the topic elsewhere.
"Of course, my father is busy with military affairs, and the guys in the barracks are stupid to death." Nie Xiaoyang was a little proud, "Before I came here, my father's daily diet was made by me. He smiled innocently, "After all, the food made by children is never unpalatable." ”
The girl nodded slightly, took another bite of the fish, and frowned, as if she was thinking about something, as if she was making a decision.
"What's wrong? Is it burnt? Nie Xiaoyang asked.
Shentu Miaoling shook her head, "No." Her face flushed, presumably from the hot grilled fish, "I wondered if you could do me a favor." ”
"Xiaoyang?" A voice not far away interrupted the girl's words, and Feng Chen walked over with a one-handed sword, "Is my grilled fish ready?" Hurry up and finish your meal and get out of here. "The smell of fish can be smelled hundreds of meters away, and I'm worried about attracting monsters." ”
There was a bonfire still burning, and a man and a woman sat next to the grill, the woman eating the cooked food a little shyly, and the man accompanying him. Seeing the situation clearly, Feng Chen smiled awkwardly: "That, there is no trace of the monster found nearby for the time being, we can continue to rest for a while." The fish is grilled for me to keep, and I'll go around and explore it a little more. ”
"Thank you for your hospitality." The girl had finished eating the second grilled fish at some point, and her expression returned to its original coldness, "If this battle is over and we are still alive, I will come to you when I want your help." ”
So saying, she stood up, walked to another tree, sat down, and began to close her eyes and recuperate.
"That...... Waiting for you at any time. I don't know how I suddenly provoked this iceberg beauty's attitude to change drastically, Nie Xiaoyang hesitated for a long time before speaking.
