Chapter 23: Tracking
There was no light in the room, and when the commotion in the farm seemed to have stopped, Takumi suddenly held his breath, ignoring the six tails who kept licking his cheeks.
After making sure that Rada was really leaving, Takumi called the 'system' in his heart, and directly found the [Kati Dog's Nose - Phase 1] that he had determined the location in the evening.
400 points were deducted, and there was nothing abnormal at all, Takumi just felt that his nose was a little itchy.
After sneezing violently, Takumi, who raised his head again, felt that the whole world was different.
The house was still the same room, but in Takumi's current feeling, every item had features on it that he hadn't noticed before.
Combined with the enhancement effect of [Kati Dog's Nose], Takumi can probably guess that this is probably the world of 'smell'!
"Huh, Rada? Chasing me just now was it cool? In that case, then don't blame me for serving your lair! ”
With a few sneers, Takumi was still haunted by what had just happened, and when he settled down at this time, all he thought about was how to retaliate.
It's just that the plan hasn't been thought out yet, Takumi faintly heard the shouting, and knew in his heart that it should be Masha and Meisha coming closer, and immediately let go of his worries completely.
……
"The thief was a Lada, and when I noticed it, I immediately warned it and hid in this room."
"Fortunately, the position I was crouching at that time was not too far from this house, and I used my flashlight to slightly attract the attention of the Lada, so that it could target the sheep inside the fence, and luckily escaped."
In the room, the three of them sat together on the edge of a single bed, wiped a handful of sweat stains on their foreheads that were already dry, and Takumi half-truthfully told what had just happened, which made the worry in the eyes of Meisha and the others fade, and they began to think about how to catch the Lada.
"Although we now know who the goat attacker is on the farm, we need to find the Lada if we want to solve the incident here once and for all."
Meisha gently bit her white and tender fingers, not realizing that she didn't look like a bad girl at all, but more like a cute girl next door.
"Do you want to gather all our men together to find it? If you don't do that well, some people will lose their current jobs......"
Meisha, who didn't get a response, raised her head, but what she saw was the stunned eyes of Takumi and Ma Sha, and she immediately raised the decibel level of her voice.
"Huh? Are you two listening to me!? ”
Boom!
Ma Sha, who was punched in the head, fell on the bed, still muttering in his mouth, "I'll just say, how could Meisha have such a girly side, it was really all an illusion just now......"
Secretly speechless, when Meisha's unkind gaze swept over, Takumi quickly pulled out a position and eagerly confessed.
"No need to gather other people, I have a way to find that hateful Rada!"
Hearing Takumi's words, Meisha couldn't help but observe Takumi in disbelief, wanting to see if Takumi was bragging? Or are you telling the truth?
Even Marsha, who was lying on the bed and pretending to be dead, propped himself up and poked his head over to ask.
"Takumi, you won't really have a way to find that Lada, will you?"
Calmly tidying up his outfit, Takumi smiled and picked up the six tails he put aside.
"I said when I stayed that I had a way to help you...... You don't think I'm joking?! ”
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of Meisha and the others, Takumi snickered in his heart.
Stretching out his finger and pointing at his nose, Takumi didn't need to type a draft at all, the lie was already told.
"I've had a sensitive nose since I was a child, and I can smell many scents that ordinary people can't detect, and now that Lada is dragging the dead goat away and not long after, the pungent smell of blood is a shining guiding sign in my eyes!"
Looking at the shocked expressions of the two, Takumi was very useful, and he couldn't help but show off.
"For example, Meisha, although it has been a day, I can still smell the scent of lavender soap on your body......"
"Bastard!!"
Five minutes later, Takumi, who was very happy and sad, walked out of the house with his head covered, followed by an aggrieved Masha, and finally a high-spirited Meisa.
Twisting his neck, Takumi returned to his usual seriousness and continued to open his eyes and tell nonsense.
"During the day, because the smell of blood had completely dissipated, and the goats on the farm were coming and going, I couldn't find any information about the thieves."
"That's why I had to wait until the evening to track down the thieves' nests with the goats on the farm as bait."
As he said these words, Takumi couldn't help but call out the 'system' and open the [Information] option.
Tuohai wants to take a look, after half a month, plus the ability to exchange, has there been any changes to his current attribute list?
The light blue translucent interface appeared in front of Takumi's eyes, and Meisa and Marsha, who were walking behind him, were not aware of the existence of the light blue interface at all, which made Takumi sigh again at the power of the 'system'.
Soon, though, Takumi focused his attention on the light blue interface.
"ID: 7027."
"Ability: [Katy Dog's Nose - Phase 1]."
"Item: [Disposable Skill Card: Paralysis Powder]."
"Pokémon: One: Six Tails."
With the experience of the last time he looked at the Six-Tailed Baby Egg, Takumi focused his attention on [Katy Dog's Nose - Phase 1].
Sure enough, a slightly more detailed text introduction appeared under [Katy Dog's Nose - Phase 1].
"Current status: 30.6% in the first phase, is it immediately transformed?"
Staring at this sentence, Takumi instinctively sensed that something was wrong, except for the first time when he was pulled into the novice task, when did this 'system' use a question sentence on him?
You must know that even if he buys an item in the [Exchange] option, the 'system' never asks him if he is sure of the transaction, but directly chooses to deduct points, and if he buys the wrong item, Takumi will not find a place to return it at all.
And now, the current state of an ability actually makes the 'system' use a question sentence on him......
A line of text appeared above the pale blue interface after Takumi stared at the 'current state' for a while, and after his gaze swept over the new content, Takumi felt his whole face twitch.
"After the immediate transformation, there will be a certain difference in the appearance of the transformed parts of the 7027, and the transformed parts will have a certain relationship with their own capabilities."
Wiped it vigorously on his chest a few times, and Takumi, who suppressed his collapsed emotions, directly turned off the light blue interface, and in the puzzled eyes of Meisha and the two, he turned on the flashlight and took the lead in walking towards the location where the fence was destroyed.
"Will the transformation part have a certain relationship with its own ability? Doesn't that mean my nose will become the nose of a cutty dog? ”
"If I exchange it for [Sonic Bat Ears], after using this and transforming it immediately, my ears will directly become Sonic Bat Ears......"
In this life, the road taken by a person is still a routine at most!
Takumi couldn't imagine that if he had been blindfolded by lard just now, he was afraid that he would now have a black, round cutty dog nose under his eyes and above his lips......
After touching his nose again and finding that it was still a normal feel, Takumi temporarily put his mind at ease.
"Fortunately, if you don't choose to transform immediately, the transformation speed will be a little slower, and there will be no change in appearance!"
In a short time, Takumi and the three of them had already arrived at the place where Rada had just attacked, and a pool of blood was particularly conspicuous under the light of the flashlight, and as the light of the flashlight extended outward, a little blood stain could be seen falling on the ground.
Facing the gaze of Meisha and the two, Takumi sniffed his nose, and a pungent bloody breath rushed straight in.
After frowning and getting used to this state, Takumi once again 'sees' the world of taste, the dark red, representing the 'smell' of blood, in the air to form a zigzag path that leads to the dark night in the distance.
"Follow me!"
Turning around and waving to Meisha, Takumi strode forward with a flashlight, and Meisha and Marsha could only hurriedly follow Takumi's footsteps when they saw this.
Rustle!
The night breeze blew through the leaves, and the sound of the branches and leaves colliding with each other made the three people walking in the woods subconsciously shorten the distance.
Originally, Takumi was exploring the road in front alone, but after a black snake crawled in front of Takumi, Ma Sha, who picked up a long branch, came to Takumi and kept exploring the way with the branch.
After a slight pause, Takumi's nose sniffed, confirmed the path from the 'sense of taste', and whispered about his discovery.
"Ten meters ahead, turn left, the smell of blood has a turn over there."
"The 'smell' is very strong, and the carcass of that goat must have been placed there!"
Ma Sha hummed softly, and the pace under his feet subconsciously quickened a little, and under the light of the flashlight, Takumi and the others found that the identified location was a thorn.
A few handfuls of wool on the thorns came into view with the movement of the flashlight's pillar of light, as if to indicate that the Rada was not far ahead.
Takumi and the three of them took flashlights and looked around along the thorn wall, confirming that this area was completely occupied by thorns, and there was no way to enter it at all.
After a moment of silence, Takumi said to Marsha.
"The neighborhood is locked with thorns, and we can't choose to take a detour, so we can only open a way!"
"Marsha, please, let the rumbling rock crush all the thorns that stand in our way, and our retreat needs to be absolutely guaranteed!"
This suggestion made Meisha's eyes light up, and Meisha, who couldn't wait to complete the commission, kicked Masha in the calf and snorted softly.
"Don't hurry up yet! The sooner it is resolved, the sooner I can go back to rest! ”
"You know, for girls, staying up late is not a good choice."
"Yes~" Responding weakly, Masha picked up the miniature version of the baby ball buckled around his waist and gently touched the switch at the bottom of the baby ball.
The Poké Ball instantly returned to its original size, and Marsha, who held the Poké Ball in his hand, instantly put the depression of a few seconds ago behind and shouted loudly.
"Come out! Rumble Rock! ”
"Round and roll, crush everything in front of you!"
Rumblestone, who had just emerged from the Poké Ball, retracted his limbs and head into his body, and his body, which was harder than granite, turned into a round stone ball and began to slowly grind towards the thorns in front of him.
"Roar!"
As the rumbling rock moved, feeling the vibration coming from the soles of his feet, Takumi couldn't help but compare it to the rumbling stone he had fought in the mission space.
It is also a combination of rounding and rolling, and the power of the rumbling rock at this time is far greater than that rumbling stone.
Takumi even felt that if the rumble stone in the mission world collided with this rumble rock, I am afraid that there would only be one result: falling apart!
While Takumi was thinking, Rumble Rock had already rushed into the wall of thorns.
The thick thorns couldn't cause any damage to the rocky body of the rumbling rock at all, and could only be helplessly broken and crushed by the powerful force of the rumbling rock's rolling, and the green juice was scattered all over the ground, making the three people who followed the rumbling rock feel extremely muddy under their feet.
Under the advance of the rumbling rock, it didn't take long for the three of them to rush to the edge of this thorny area, and an angry shout came from the front, which instantly made the three of them lift their spirits and become nervous.
"Rada!"
