Chapter 36: The Scarlet Lake

"You two remember when we were kids... Little Thor mysteriously lowered his voice, and Kasan and the fat man immediately leaned in.

"That's what happened when we put a metal tube on the amoeba tentacles." Xiao Lei looked happy. "It's the time I was scolded by Uncle Ledo."

"Remember." Kasan replied with some apprehension, "It's the first time I've seen Uncle Ledo get so angry. ”

"I remember when you say that, it was very fierce." The fat man obviously remembered it too, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. "But it was a lot of fun."

"What's fun?" Wu Yun realized the importance of their words, and jumped down from the iron ladder, although it was not very high, but it shook his calves.

"What do you say you put on it?" Wu Yun ignored the sensation on his legs and walked over to several people. He's a little far away. Xiao Lei's words were only generalized.

"It's the two tentacles on the amoeba." Xiao Lei looked at Wu Yun with a serious expression. I couldn't help but put away my smile. "I put a metal tube over that."

"As a result, the amoeba will just spin in place." Xiao Lei was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Wu Yun. Hurriedly added: "I can't identify the direction at all." ”

"What's the use of that?" The fat man said. "Why don't you go and put a tube on it first? Wouldn't it be nice if you had the time to just grab it? Although Kashan didn't speak, she also looked at Xiao Lei with a questioning expression, waiting for his explanation.

"Are you covering one side or both?" As the only one of the few people who understood Xiao Lei's meaning, Wu Yun didn't feel happy at all. He had a lot of things to ask about.

"I don't remember." Xiao Lei obviously understood the meaning of Wu Yun's question, he thought for a while and replied, "I remember whether it was one or two at that time, it seemed to be about the same." ”

"Alright, thank you." Wu Yun patted Xiao Lei on the shoulder. He turned his head and smiled, "It seems that this is the key to my mission." ”

Seeing the blank faces of the two of them, Wu Yun had to explain again: "According to Xiao Lei's words, the two tentacles on the amoeba head are its tools for identifying the direction. ”

"How about that?" The fat man asked. "Are you really going to trap them?"

"No, I decided to shoot there with a slingshot." Wu Yun glanced at Xiao Lei, "It is estimated that as long as it can injure one, it will not run so neatly." ”

Since everyone usually uses traps to catch this little guy who can get into trouble at the slightest touch, few people know that due to the softness of the amoeba's body, it is very difficult for a low-level weapon like marbles to kill in one hit. This is also the main reason for Wu Yun's previous failures.

"In that case, I can just bring a pair of gloves and get it back." Since amoeba sometimes secretes some corrosive liquid when attacked, it is necessary to have the necessary protection.

"Naturally, the task will be solved." Wu Yun felt that his plan was seamless. He looked at the crowd with a smile, ready to answer their questions.

"Can you really hit its tentacles?" Kashan asks the key question about this method, because the puzzle is not easy to solve, and even an adult amoeba has antennae that are no more than the thickness of a thumb.

Naturally, it is not a big problem for the average hunter in the village, but for the Wu Yun Kashan in front of him, who is good for physical strength and sports, he is really not very relieved.

"I think there should be a chance." Wu Yun had already thought about this question. He felt that he had half and half a chance no matter what he said. If you practice again, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this chance.

This discussion ended in the end of one person satisfied with the three doubts.

Wu Yun started his new plan, and he began to change the stone from the size of a slap to the size of a fist. While he practiced shooting stones, he searched for amoeba and carried out his plan.

He spotted several targets, but he alerted them whenever he tried to get closer. After many distance tests, twenty meters is my limit.

That way he could be more sure. Wu Yun carefully selected a stone the size of a walnut, and then retreated to a distance of twenty meters. When he tried it, he found that it was not an easy task. One shot out of ten is already pretty good. So he stopped his search and began to train in a frenzied manner.

After a few days, he finally had the certainty of one out of ten. Ledo would occasionally pass by to see him, and it was obvious that Wu Yun was quite satisfied with his daily actions, and basically did not interfere with his activities.

And the search for the Kassans is nearing its end. Mainly because the traces of the road disappeared near a huge lake. Wu Yun analyzed the maps of several people several times and finally came to a conclusion.

Through Solu's introduction, Wu Yun had a general understanding that this lake is in the southwest of Maduo Village, which is very far away from the village. It was about a day from here, which was the main reason why Kassan's search had stopped.

Although Wu Yun really wanted to go there to investigate in person, he was very worried that this matter would not be a matter of one or two days in the first place. And his current mentality of not giving up until he reaches his goal makes Wu Yun have a belief that he must complete this hunting mission before leaving, although Lei Duo did not ask him about the time limit of the mission from beginning to end.

The weather is getting colder, and Canoo's bar expansion is nearing completion, and in a few days, he's on his way to McGee, along with Claire. The Kassans gathered wood in the woods. By the way, pointing to Wu Yun's training work, although Xiao Lei is not a good shooter himself, some of the experience he shared still gave Wu Yun a lot of help. Kasan explained to him some of the small details to pay attention to when approaching monsters. And after the fat man found that the strength he was good at was not of much help to the current Wu Yun. He took the initiative to take on everyone's errands.

As the training time continued, Wu Yun's accuracy gradually improved, and his shooting speed was also much faster, and he gradually realized the state of watching that and hitting that that Ledo told him before.

In Kashan's words, with the level of the slingshot alone, Wu Yun is definitely one of the best in the village, the fat man and Xiao Lei couldn't help but laugh when they heard this comment, Wu Yun knew very well where their laughter was - not to mention in Maduo Village, even in this world, there are few people who will focus on practicing the weapon of the slingshot. Still, he's happy, because Kasan has always been honest about weapons.

Finally, one afternoon, after several attempts, Wu Yun finally hit the root of one of the tentacles of the target amoeba, and the result was just as he expected. The amoeba began to spin in circles. So Wu Yun easily caught this prey.

The people around were very happy, and several people hugged Wu Yun back home. Soru was overjoyed to see Wu Yun's results, so he decided to simply celebrate Wu Yun's first successful hunt. He decided to gather everyone to his house for a meal. And the main dish of the banquet is Wu Yun's prey, and the chef is needless to say that it is Wu Yun himself.

When Ray was out for a short time, Ledo and Dika arrived. And Kanu also arrived later, and there was an uninvited guest with him, who was naturally Claire. As soon as she heard about the purpose of this meal, she unceremoniously followed. As his current biggest financier, Kanu naturally has no complaints. And Wu Yun remembered that he seemed to owe her a meal before, so he was very welcome to her arrival.

Wu Yun started to get busy, this time because of the large number of people, he couldn't take a small part of the shreds like last time. Wu Yun had to take out the kernel by herself, and then asked Kashan to use her crazy knife technique to cut it into small pieces, of course, the small pieces in Kashan's consciousness. Then Wu Yun put them whole in the pot and boiled them. Or this means of deodorization is the simplest and most effective. After that, he took out the pieces of meat and simply shredded them. To his surprise, after these days of strength and coordination, his hand holding the knife was much more stable. And the feeling of shredding is also more accurate. The result is that he cuts even more beautifully than the last time he cut it at the bar. This was unanimously recognized by everyone at the table.

"I always thought that the fineness of your shredding that day was the extreme." Kanu, who had seen Wu Yun's knife technique, looked incredulous, "I didn't expect your current one to be more detailed." ”

"Not bad." Although Claire has no knowledge of cooking, she has a distinct professional advantage in observing small objects.

"It's a lot finer than that day." She nodded, agreeing with Kanu's claim.

And Ledo and Dika were the means to see Wu Yun for the first time, and the two of them had a surprised expression with their mouths wide open when they saw the food on the table. It wasn't until Wu Yun beckoned them to eat that they reacted.

"How can you cut it so thin?" Deca rolled up a few strands of meat with a fork and observed them carefully in front of his eyes. "Your grip on your knife is strong enough." He put it in his mouth and chewed it for a moment, then without saying a word, he stretched out his fork again.

"It's the right thing to do for you to practice control." Ledo's smile was clearly satisfied with his previous judgment. "You just need to practice a lot now. It's going to have a good effect. ”

"Speaking of which." Wu Yun has always wanted to find an opportunity to tell himself, a person who is a master, about his exploration plan. He looked at the people on the table, the three Kasan, Kanu and the village chief, and although Kreel didn't know much about herself, she probably wouldn't be too interested in her search plan given her financial resources and personality. Based on his contact with Ledo these days, he found that Dika and Ledo are almost rarely separated, and in Wu Yun's words back then, these two people are definitely friends. Either don't tell anyone, or you explain it all. After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Yun made up his mind.

"I'm going to leave the village once." Wu Yun said to Ledo. "The timing may not be accurate. Estimated no more than a week. ”

Although he was not consulted, Wu Yun's pleading expression was obvious.

"It's okay, you just remember to come back and make up the difference." Ledo picked up another ball of shredded meat and put it in his mouth. "Where are you going?"

"Scarlet Lake" Xiao Lei blurted out, he and Kasan Fat have been suffocating these days. But seeing Wu Yun's expression of not giving up until he reached his goal, it was difficult for anyone to ask when to explore. Now Wu Yun finally relented. Naturally, he was very happy. So as soon as Ledo spoke, he answered.

"There~" Ledo didn't notice who was the answerer's question. He pondered silently, and the three of them across from him, Krell and Kanu, all had thoughtful expressions. And Dika is still struggling with the dish in front of him, looking like he has nothing to do with himself.

"I remember there weren't any special monsters there." Ledo looked around, and after getting the same opinion from everyone, he turned his head and said to Wu Yun; "What are you going to do there?"

Wu Yun roughly said that he speculated that there might be ruins there. He is vague about the process of discovery, so it is basically a child's game for Ledo and Claire. So they didn't ask too much questions.

"Since there is no danger? Why is it called the Scarlet Lake? Wu Yun was full of curiosity about the name of the lake mentioned by Xiao Lei before, before he only saw a lake on the map, but there was no name on it, and it was not mentioned in Solu's simple description, obviously this name was added by man.

"Well." The village chief of Solu, who had not spoken for a long time, replied slowly, "There was a lot of fish there for a while, and many people often went there to catch fish. ”

"For some reason, that lake is at dusk," Sorou's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia. "It will turn a blood-red in the afterglow of the setting sun. So the villagers called out. ”

"Later, the fish there gradually decreased due to everyone's fishing." Soru had a lonely expression on his face, "And the road between me and the village chief is getting harder and harder, so few people go there now." ”

"I see." Wu Yun nodded. Such an interesting place would be a good tourist area if it were in its own time. He couldn't help but think. Be sure to take a closer look.
