Chapter 249: Rabbit Hole and Investigation
After the Mona team captured the mountain wolf lair, they sent one Mona back to the camp to report, while the remaining Mona were stationed near the lair.
The Monas ate some of the Chaos Mushrooms they had with them to replenish their energy and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Mona didn't find the bunny eight hiding in the hills.
"These rabbits eat mushrooms too?" Seeing those rabbits eating mushrooms, Bunny found that his stomach was also hungry.
Bunny decided to go find some food to fill his stomach before continuing to observe the new rabbits.
Bunny Eight also likes to eat mushrooms. In the summer, there are a lot of delicious mushrooms popping up in the mountains every night, but as the weather gets colder and colder, the mushrooms in the mountain wolf hills start to become less and less, and the rabbit has not eaten mushrooms for a long time.
Seeing those foreign rabbits eating mushrooms, Rabbit decided to comfort himself and eat a good meal once in a while.
The weather is getting colder and the food is getting harder to find. Rabbit Eight walked around the mountain, and only found a few poor young grasses, and there were no mushrooms or anything to be seen.
"Looks like winter is coming." Bunny Hachi was not frustrated by such a result, because Bunny Hachi had already prepared for it.
Bunny took out his pocket, collected some dead grass and shrub branches in the field, and then came to another hill.
The Rabbit family dug many caves and tunnels in the mountain wolf hills, and there were tunnel bases on almost every hillock. Not only were those tunnels used to escape danger, but they also served as food warehouses for the Bunny.
Bunny Hachi finds a large rock on the hill and carefully moves it out of the way, revealing a tunnel beneath the stone.
Rabbit Hachi burrowed headlong into the tunnel.
Adult rabbits are usually around a meter tall, about the same height as a halfling, and can burrow into many burrows that humans can't enter.
After Bunny Hachi had traveled some distance along the narrow tunnel, it suddenly became clear to him, and a spacious cave appeared in front of Hachi.
There are many things piled up in the cave. In addition to dried mushrooms, which serve as food, the cave is filled with sticks, bones, broken weapons, armor, and more, making it a big garbage dump!
Bunny rummaged through the garbage heap.
"Found it! ~"Bunny found a crystal clear red crystal from the trash pair.
The orc wilderness is very barren, so when it comes across something rare, Bunny Hachi will collect it. And this crystal is exactly what Bunny's parents once picked up.
Bunny found a straw rope, tied the crystal, and tied it to his head.
"Hmm~ perfect!"
After some camouflage, Bunny took out his pocket, picked up some dried mushrooms from the ground, and then burrowed out of the tunnel and returned to the surface.
Hiding the warehouse, Bunny carefully returned to the nest. The rabbits with the crystals on their heads still gathered near the wolf's lair, so Bunny Eight returned to the den very smoothly.
Bunny's home is made up of two caves, one for the kitchen and one for the bedroom. The bedroom is full of dry grass for warmth, and the kitchen has some firewood for making a fire, as well as food and water.
Bunny had just returned to the cave and put the food down when a female rabbit who looked a little weak came out of the bedroom.
"Fourteen, I'm back~" Bunny Hachi carried his pocket and beckoned to the female rabbit, "How is your body?" ”
"I'm much better." The female rabbit paused and looked at the crystal on Bunny's forehead, "Bunny, what's wrong with your forehead?" ”
"There's some weird bunnies out there." Bunny touched the crystal on his forehead and explained to the mother rabbit, "They all have a glowing stone on their foreheads that resembles this. ”
"Strange rabbits?" The female rabbit blinked, "Do you want to inform the thirteenth brother?" ”
"Not for now. The purpose of the other party is not yet clear. Bunny thought for a moment, "I'm going to talk to them later, and see what they're here for." ”
“…… You have to be careful. ”
"Don't worry. I'm a fast-paced bunny, and no one can match me when it comes to escape speed! Bunny Eight was full of confidence, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to live during this time." The location of the home must not be exposed, and I will move to the second spare nest in the next two days, and you will have to be careful alone. ”
"Don't worry." The she-rabbit nodded.
While Bunny was chatting with the mother rabbit, the four little rabbits were impatiently clutching the pockets at Bunny's feet.
"Oh~ Don't worry, little ones, the food will be ready in no time. Don't break your pocket, this is precious! ”
Bunny pushed the four bunnies away with his feet, opened his pockets, and took out some mushrooms and threw them into the metal helmets beside him. This metal helmet picked up from the battlefield is the pot of the Bunny Eight family.
Throw the dried mushrooms into the metal helmet, then pour some water into the helmet to soak the mushrooms. Then Bunny took out two flint stones and started to make a fire.
Dried mushrooms are not delicious when eaten directly. Although Bunny loves to eat mushrooms, he can't tolerate the taste of dried mushrooms, so it is necessary to make a fire to cook the mushrooms.
Soon, Bunny lit a bonfire and placed the helmet with food on the stove.
As the bonfire was lit, the temperature in the cave began to rise slowly.
In a comfortable environment, Bunny and his family eat a delicious mushroom soup before leaving the nest to scout the new rabbits.
The mountain wolf hills are not big or small, but it is still no problem to feed a few rabbits. Bunny doesn't mind being neighbors with a few rabbits, but Bunny doesn't know if the new bunnies want to be friendly.
Rabbit touched his bulging belly and went up the hill again to observe the "new neighbors".
Rabbit found the new neighbors resting on the wolf's body, using the wolf as a warm quilt.
"Hmm...... Looks like they're not going to leave today. Rabbit squinted, touched the crystal on his forehead, and looked at the very "obedient" mountain wolves.
Bunny Eight is often chased all over the mountain by those mountain wolves, and it's hard to imagine that these murderous guys have such an obedient time.
After some hesitation, Bunny Rabbit cautiously touched it, got closer, found a convenient position to escape, and then deliberately poked his head out and stared in the direction of those rabbits.
The wolves immediately spotted Bunhachi's head.
The mountain wolves looked in the direction of Bunny Eight and became a little irritable. The hostility that came to his face frightened Bunhachi!
Rabbit Hachi's perception is very keen, and this acuity is reflected not only in the auditory and visual senses, but also in the perception of danger and hostility. The hostility of the mountain wolves made Bunny Eight feel terrified!
But Bunny didn't run away as before, but insisted on poking his head out and making eye contact with the mountain wolves. If it had been before, the mountain wolves would have rushed over in this situation, but this time, although the mountain wolves were very irritable, they did not take any action, which somewhat relieved Rabbit Eight.
"It seems that those mountain wolves are really under control." For Bunny, this is not a good news, because it means that these new neighbors of his are probably much stronger than he imagined!
The movement of the wolves quickly woke Mona from their sleep. One Mona stood up and looked in Bunnyhachi's direction.
"Mona?"
Bunny was a little surprised to find out that the strange rabbits were not hostile to him - maybe the rabbit neighbors could communicate.
"Hi ~ Guys, hello!" Bunny beckoned to the strange bunnies, "I'm Bunny, where are you from?" ”
"Mona?" Mona tilted her head and looked at Bunnypa.
"Huh...... Do you speak the orc lingua franca? Bunny asked.
"Mona?" Mona looked dazed.
"Oh! Now it's a problem. ”
