Chapter Eighty-Seven: Nature
"Are you still angry?" Nie Xiaoyang walked behind the dust, holding a branch that he had picked up from nowhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Feng Chen didn't speak, the sun was about to set, and there would be another difficult night in the valley, and it might be a little safer only by returning to the cave where the two of them were temporarily sheltered.
"Alright, it's not like you haven't killed monsters." Xiao Yangqiang smiled, "The world of hunters is not a hunting game, there are too many difficult situations to choose in the future, let alone a mother, if the situation requires it, the monsters of the entire race need to be slaughtered, this is the duty of our hunters, isn't it?" ”
"I'm not mad at this." Feng Chen stood up and turned back and said, "I just don't understand why you made a decision privately. I thought we were teammates, we were a team, and we had to at least get to know each other before we did something. ”
Feng Chen walked up to Nie Xiaoyang's approach, "Instead of bringing his teammates into the female fire dragon's lair when they were unprepared." ”
"At least we're safe now," the tall man said a little weakly, "and one of the birds has died, and my method has proven to work, so what do we care?" ”
Little Orion sighed, he didn't know what he was angry about, on the way over the snowy mountain, he was obviously ready to be a hunter, but when he really came to this cruel and violent world, Feng Chen found that he still had a lot of dislikes and discomforts.
He suddenly missed the life of Xuelin Village, compared to here, the Snow Mountain was a pure land.
"I'm also on a mission for us!" Seeing that Feng Chen's face still hadn't eased, Nie Xiaoyang continued to defend, "It's you who want to continue our stage two training, I'm just looking for the most suitable way to complete it." ”
"We are still in danger and the mission is not complete." Feng Chen gradually calmed down, did not follow Nie Xiaoyang's words to continue this meaningless argument, and said in a deep voice, "You and I don't know how many days we have to survive in this ghost place. I want the two of us to be true partners and not hide anything from each other, can you do that? ”
In the end, the little Orion looked at Nie Xiaoyang with burning eyes. This teammate did provoke himself to break the precepts of the Hunter God, and what he did also made Feng Chen a little annoyed. But now is not the time for reckoning, this hunting ground does not know how many crises are still hidden, and the two teenagers must work together to get through this difficult time.
Nie Xiaoyang nodded silently and walked in the direction of the cave.
"Wait!" Feng Dust stopped him.
"What? Need me to say 'I'm sorry'? Nie Xiaoyang turned his head with a strange expression.
"No, it's not." Feng Chen walked over to a tree and untied a slender wire wrapped around the tree, "This is your thing, now you can put it back on the shield." ”
The mechanism line on Nie Xiaoyang's shield had been lent to the little hunter as a tool to set a trap when he had bought time for Shentu Miaoling to escape. The chance to escape came so suddenly that neither of them had time to take the thread with them, so it wrapped itself around the tree all day. Now that the two of them have returned to this place, they have actually regained it.
The tall hunter took the wire and wrapped it neatly around his elbow and the mechanism of the shield, and with a turn of the winch, the shield was pulled back into the boy's arm, and with a "clang" it got stuck in the grooves of the arm.
"We're running out of hunting tools," Feng Dust, counting his tools, "we'll need to go back and resupply." ”
"Do you want to weave another big web like before?" The tall man walked through the rocky crevices of the forest with a wooden stick.
"Go back to the place where the trap was laid and look at it, maybe the net from before is not broken enough to be used."
The two of them found another way to the nest of the colored birds, and the way had been sealed and finely sprinkled with dyed jade powder, and the fire dragon family or other monsters with a heart could easily chase after them with the smell. The boys made a big circle in the woods and finally reached their destination before dark.
The nets had turned to blackened powder, with strange green slime running around them. Nie Xiaoyang picked out some liquid with his fingertips and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, he recognized this mucus, which was sprayed at the trainee hunter by the colored bird when it was chasing. At that time, they didn't know what this thing was for, but after a little thought, it became clear that they were as smart as Nie Xiaoyang.
"It's something like tar, and it burns violently when you get a little flame. If you are drenched with mucus and hit by the flint of the painted bird, I am afraid it will not be too good. ”
The evolution of monsters is strange, and the colorful bird does not evolve the function of spitting hot liquids or gases in the mouth like most wyvern species, but separates the functions of ignition and spitting liquids into two parts.
"Not only that," Sealing Dust also crushed a small handful of slime-soaked dirt, "this thing is corrosive, and if you stick to your body for a long time, your armor will become brittle." ”
The little hunter hurriedly wiped his hands on the surrounding land, and his fingertips felt a little anxious in the moment, and the trainee hunters did not pay attention to these details during the battle, and they could not help but be a little frightened in retrospect.
"Thankfully, it didn't take long for us to wash off most of the mucus in the pool." Nie Xiaoyang pressed the leather part of the armor that had been glued with mucus a few times with his fingertips, and with a slight force on his hand, the flexible leather broke away from the middle.
"None of these monsters are good." Feng Chen sighed, their use of themselves as bait to attract monsters seemed like a joke at the moment, if it weren't for their shocking luck, the two of them could have made fatal mistakes in any link.
"However, this colored bird is also ruthless enough to himself." Nie Xiaoyang kicked the rope ash on the ground, "Is this a whole net that was wet with mucus, and then burned off when it was wrapped around the body?" ”
Monsters are not very resistant to such soft traps, and brute force and claws alone cannot quickly get out of the net. So the mother, who was anxious to save her son, spat out the mucus that stuck around her body, and set herself on fire with flint and steel, as well as the net that entangled her.
"Animals have a lot of qualities that we humans don't have." Feng Chen said, "I've heard my dad say that when the elven deer encounters large-scale hyena predation, the old and weak individuals in the community will take the initiative to stay and break off, leaving time for the young adults and cubs to flee for their lives. ”
"Monsters have a tenacious, united, selfless spirit in their instincts, sometimes much greater than us humans." Little Orion looked at the ashes of the hemp rope, "What's more, this is a mother who can do anything for her child." ”
"It's nature." Nie Xiaoyang also chimed in.
"So the god of hunting teaches us that hunters and prey are equal, and that you should respect and protect your prey when hunting." Hunting and protection are two completely opposite concepts, but for some reason, Nie Xiaoyang easily understood what Feng Chen said.
The tall hunter briefly lost his mind.
"Go back to the cave, the cable won't work, I'll have to weave a bigger one by tomorrow morning." Feng Chen waved his hand and walked into the distance.
