Chapter 10: Exploration
To the east of Xuehua Village is a lush forest, and Ma Liu, as a hunter in the village, is also a "frequent visitor" of this forest.
Only on the outskirts of the forest, of course!
Although most of the time he returned empty-handed, he occasionally caught some hares or something.
After all, once you enter the inner circle, you may encounter ferocious beasts!
With only one firewood knife and a few gaps, Ma Liu didn't think that he could beat those blind tigers and bears.
But at this moment, Ma Liu has to enter the inner circle of the forest!
"The periphery has been explored, and it is no different from usual, so I want to come...... What kind of big monster, or abnormal noise, should be in the inner circle!"
If you change the time, change the event!
Ma Liu definitely doesn't want to enter the inner circle of the forest!
But shouldering the hope of the whole village, Ma Liu only thought for a few seconds, then resolutely stepped into the inner perimeter of the forest, took the firewood knife from his waist in time, and held it in his hand.
"Don't meet the beast! Don't meet the beast! Don't meet a wild beast!"
After stepping into the inner area of the forest, Ma Liu walked forward cautiously, and kept praying in his heart that he would not meet wild beasts.
Although he was still worried and scared in his heart, Ma Liu didn't dare to forget that his mission this time, every ten steps or so, he would make a mark with a firewood knife.
Ten minutes passed......
Call~
"God forbid! I really didn't encounter a beast!"
Tense his nerves and walked cautiously for ten minutes, Ma Liu only felt a little soreness in his body, so he found a place with a little space and rested.
"Hehe~ Today is also very lucky, not only did I not meet the beast, but I didn't even make a strange noise, it seems that ...... This trip should be available and useful for the village chief...... Message...... ?!!!"
Grunt~
Ma Liu's back was originally leaning against the trunk of the tree, his legs stretched straight, and his body and mind were a little relaxed.
But not long after the stone in his heart fell, Ma Liu soared and straightened his body!
Not to mention relaxing, Ma Liu at this moment doesn't even dare to gasp!
The linen shirt he was wearing had been soaked with cold sweat, and even his legs were still trembling faintly, not daring to make the slightest movement.
It's understandable to be quiet, but if it's too quiet, then the atmosphere is very weird!
The inner perimeter of the forest is far away from people, and there is no noise, which is normal, but if there is not even the sound of insects chirping and the breeze blowing leaves......
Although he had never been to the inner area of the forest, Ma Liu was sure that a normal forest was definitely not everything he could perceive now.
"Really...... Is this forest really what happened? Or is it ...... Are there really monsters coming?!"
If Ma Liu was still a little apprehensive in his heart before, then at this moment, he was already very sure that what really happened to this forest.
And naturally, Ma Liu linked this mission with the anomaly of the forest!
Standing in place, Ma Liu felt that every second was torment, and his heart was beating extremely fast, so he couldn't wait to run out of the forest immediately.
The thought of escaping constantly hit Ma Liu's heart and made him very uncomfortable.
However, this thought only stayed in Ma Liu's mind, and he himself took another cautious step towards the depths of the forest.
"Hope for the whole village! I won't give up easily!"
Ma Liu was afraid and worried, the strength in his hand was a little stronger, and the firewood knife was also held tighter, but he knew that if he was afraid to flee at this time, the consequences would affect the entire village.
The only well, but I can't get water!
The daughter of the old Zhang family, but she is still waiting for water to drink porridge!
The village chief is ...... Infinite trust in yourself!
Never!
We must not disappoint everyone's hope and trust!
One step at a time, two steps~
One step at a time, two steps~
Ma Liu's slow but steady steps gradually approached the depths of the forest............
————
————
"Ma Liu, he's been gone for almost an hour, why haven't you come back?"
"Yes! The forest to the east isn't too far! Even if you take a walk around the perimeter, it won't take an hour...... This ......"
"Malliuta...... Will it be ......"
Syllable~
One villager interrupted another villager's worries and replied very firmly: "Don't talk nonsense! Ma Liu, that old boy, all of us know it, don't dare to say anything else, the kung fu of escaping, there is absolutely nothing to say!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Ma Liu is fast! There's no one in the village who can catch up with him!"
"In my opinion! Ma Liu maybe, it's the hunting hand that itches, and he starts to wander around the periphery again!"
……
In the hour of waiting for Ma Liu, Zhuang Yi was actually not relaxed, and his mentality was not as comfortable as the villagers.
The current situation is not a search strategy, and you can cross it by flipping through any records, a complete real world, and there is no strategy to be found at all.
The only thing that can be done is to think of as many countermeasures as possible to deal with the situation that may arise.
Even Zhuang Yi was thinking, if there were really any vicious monsters, then where could this snowflake village move to?
"Village...... Chief! It's Ma Liu! Ma Liu is back!"
Just when Zhuang Yi was silently bowing his head and pondering, a sharp-eyed villager suddenly changed his expression, and his tone became very excited.
And when the villager was excited, his excitement also took advantage of the situation to connect with the surrounding villagers, and they all opened their eyes wide and looked vigorously at the entrance of the village.
In fact, it was not only the villagers who had mood swings, Zhuang Yi directly locked Ma Liu at the entrance of the village at the first time.
Name: Ma Liu
Identity: Ordinary villager of Xuehua Village
Level: Lv3
Realm: Do not enter the stream
Skills: Level 1 Hunting, Level 1 Fishing
Talents: None
Evaluation: An ordinary person with some agility
Loyalty: 73
Judging from the data feedback given by the game, Ma Liu's mission can be said to be unscathed.
Seeing the information that Ma Liu had not changed, Zhuang Yi couldn't help but fall a big stone in his heart, after all, at least, this showed that Ma Liu had no problems and did come back safely.
"I see it! I see it!!"
Ever since Ma Liu appeared at the entrance of the village, he seemed very excited, shouting loudly.
"Ma Liu! What do you see? Hurry up and tell us about it!"
"That's it! What's going on in the forest to the east? Are there really monsters? ”
……
Zhuang Yi is not as big as the villagers, and he feels that Ma Liu at this time is very different from before departure.
If before leaving, Ma Liu was a little nervous.
So at this time, Ma Liu was a little too excited......
What exactly has been discovered that will make Ma Liu have such a contrasting state change?
Zhuang Yi was a little curious, but he was afraid of hearing terrible information, so he just asked tentatively: "Ma Liu!" What do you see? ”
After hearing Zhuang Yi's question, Ma Liu did not pause at all, and shouted loudly with great excitement: "Village chief! Chief! That's a big bird! Legendary Bird!"
