Chapter Seventy-One: A Night of Wailing
Chen Zhuo and Marcus carried the vines back to the makeshift camp, and Charles had woken up and was slowly eating under Naxi's watch. "Hey Charles, are you feeling better?"
"Oh, Brother Chen, I don't feel very good, I'm always afraid, the ghost heard that you beat him away?"
"That's right, and seriously injured."
Marcus piled up the vines, then walked over to the tent and said, "Charles, we may be spending the night in the cave tonight, it's about evening, but I don't think the night in the cave will be dark, although it's not bright, do you have any wounds on your body?" ”
"The wound is still there, I checked the area where it was attacked several times, and it was found to be safe."
"That ghost should be a soul attack, it's okay Charles, just like you, the bear is guaranteed to forget after three days!"
"Damn Marcus! Who do you say is bear-like? Believe it or not, I'll hack you to death?! ”
Marcus patted Chen Zhuo's shoulder: "See, he's already fine." Anyway, let's prepare something to eat, I guess we can't make barbecue here, which is a pity. ”
After Chen Zhuo heard what Marcus said, he took out a roasted deer leg from his food backpack and ate it with relish.
"Wait a minute, Chen, what are you doing?"
"Roasted deer leg, didn't you eat it when you were in the Sweet Water Oasis?"
"And when did you hide in the food pack?"
"When the lion came, I thought it was going to start, but I was afraid that the deer's legs would not taste good if they were shiny, so I stuffed one and put it in my food bag. Break it for you? ”
"Okay, well, I haven't eaten enough at Sweet Water Oasis before."
Chen Zhuo gave Marcus half of it, and Chen Zhuo remembered the maned lion in the Sweetwater Oasis, so he asked, "By the way, Marcus, what do you mean by the fact that the steppe-maned lion you said must be followed by a coyote nearby?" ”
"Oh, that's right." Marcus tore a bite of the deer leg and said, "Coyotes are a group of despicable creatures, they are not strong in individual combat, after all, they are second-order beasts, but they are strong in packs, basically the number of a coyote pack is about 20 coyotes to 30 coyotes, and some coyote packs may be more if there is a coyote king." Moreover, what they are best at is waiting for the beasts to come out and reap the benefits of the fishermen when they are both defeated. When it is almost winter, they will target some large and unsocial beasts, such as steppe maned lions, long-eared elephants, etc., they will wait for the maned lions to finish hunting their prey and bring them back to their dens to attack, although half of them will be killed and injured, but the remaining coyotes can harvest food that cannot be eaten in a winter. ”
"This kind of behavior does sound a lot more despicable, but the law of the jungle eats the strong. What are the maned lions like, and are they defenseless? ”
"Now many maned lions and long-eared elephants have begun to gather together in the winter, but there is always a time when they are alone, just like the lion before, I don't know how it will end, but if the same kind is far away, it may be more auspicious."
Marcus ate much faster than Chen Zhuo, and asked Chen Zhuo, "Let's arrange the vigil, are you sleepy now?" ”
Chen Zhuo shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy at all, I don't even know it's dark." ”
"It's not dark yet, but it's getting soon." Marcus took out an hourglass from his backpack and said to Chen Zhuo, "This is an hourglass, you can count the time, now put it upside down and open the hole in the middle, the sand will flow down little by little, every time you finish flowing, you turn it upside down, when the fourth flow is finished, you wake me up, and then I will take your shift, the two of us will be one person for two hours, let Riston have a good rest, and the rest will be handed over to it." ”
Chen Zhuo nodded, Marcus walked into his tent, I didn't expect that there is such a thing as an hourglass in this world, Chen Zhuo touched the appearance of the hourglass, it was cold and cold, at this time Bonnie walked out of his tent and said, "Master, our tent has been set up." ”
Hey? Strange, why did Bonnie feel the slightest ambiguity when she said "our tent"?
Bonnie sat next to Chen Zhuo, she stretched out her waist when her coat faded, the leather coat was lifted up with her arm, and the vest line and ribs were all exposed in front of Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo looked at the spring in front of him and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Bonnie snickered, Chen Zhuo immediately understood that Bonnie had noticed her thoughts, turned her head and saw the flame imp sitting down against the bonfire, stretched out his hand in the past, and hugged the flame imp, sure enough, the flame imp will not burn others when he is not fighting, the imp has no resistance, Let Chen Zhuo carry himself over. The little ghost's ears were extremely uncoordinated, and the things on the ears that resembled studs didn't seem to match, Chen Zhuo asked, "Bonnie, are the demons all very characteristic of the swelling?" ”
"Master, what do you mean by characteristics?"
"For example, your wings and horns, the ears of this imp, and the body of that ghost are all different from the structure of humans and other races, so people can see the different characteristics at a glance."
"Well, if you say that, master, some demons also have elf forms and human forms."
"Huh? And the elven form and the human form? Chen Zhuo was very surprised, if a demon has a human form, how can it be discovered, or what kind of demon will actually become a human, so that it will not be discovered in the human society for a long time?
"Master, there are very few demons who have mastered these skills, and most of them are not pure-bred demons, so few people will know about this kind of thing."
"Well...... I always feel like the devil is all around us. ”
"Master, this is for sure, many human beings have the misconception that there are more demons in warlocks or something, but in fact, there are more demons around all human beings, and Kalimdo is more demons than the demons in the Eastern Kingdoms in general, warlocks are just more attractive to demons, after all, demons can advance through warlocks and pursue power, which is what every demon likes to do."
"That'...... Bonnie, what about you? ”
"Master, Bonnie is also in pursuit of power, otherwise why would Bonnie always seduce you." Saying that, Bonnie climbed on Chen Zhuo's two legs with both hands, Chen Zhuo hurriedly hid to the side, and her head tingled: "Bonnie, don't be like this, I don't know what's going on today, I always feel that there is a fire burning in my heart, but I can't release it, so aggrieved." ”
Bonnie thought of what happened when Chen Zhuo drowned before, and didn't say anything, just smiled and said "hmm" at Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo felt that this sound made his blood boil, as if he didn't feel comfortable listening to it, and his eyes couldn't be shifted. Chen Zhuo hurriedly ran to the river and washed his face, the cold lake water soaked every pore on Chen Zhuo's face, and the bloodthirsty impulse was diluted by the biting cold water. "What's wrong with me?" Chen Zhuo said to himself, wiped the water on his face by the river, and the first scene he saw when he opened his eyes was that there was a bright light in the water, and the pearl-like light shot out of the water and met Chen Zhuo's eyes. Chen Zhuo beckoned Bonnie over, pointed to the pearls in the water and asked, "Bonnie, look at it, what is that?" ”
Bonnie shook her head and said, "Master likes?" Bonnie went down for her master and got it. ”
"No, no, no, I'm just asking, the water is too cold, is it a pearl? I want to know how big this river really is, and how it has everything in it. ”
"Uh-huh." Bonnie took Chen Zhuo's arm and returned to the campfire camp, and in the river, a half-meter-long big fish was attracted by pearls, swam over, and just about to find out, a big mouth swallowed the big fish, leaving the back of a man-eating turtle, and then changed places and continued to expose its "pearls".
Bonnie and Chen Zhuo started to tell each other stories when they had nothing to do in the camp, Bonnie will be the demon knowledge that she slowly learned with the increase of strength, and Chen Zhuo tells the stories on the earth and what they usually play, of course, these Chen Zhuo said that they were in their hometown, as for where their hometown is Chen Zhuo did not say, and then Chen Zhuo and Bonnie began to play a small game between the little couples, and the funnel has been turned over 4 times in the laughter, Chen Zhuo felt that he had not talked enough, so he did not call Marcus, and the two continued to talk until Riston woke up, Walking to the bonfire and seeing Chen Zhuo and Bonnie's laughter accompanied by Charles's snoring, Riston snorted at Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo touched Riston's head, Riston wagged his tail and licked Chen Zhuo's hand, Chen Zhuo felt that his palm was itchy and added some firewood to the bonfire after bringing it, and then walked into the tent with Bonnie.
The inside of the tent was very small, the flame imps were all carried out of the tent by Bonnie, Chen Zhuo hugged Bonnie, touched the wings of the little devil, and the strength in his body felt the same again, Chen Zhuo didn't dare to think about it, and lay down for a long time before falling asleep.
Although the mouth of the wailing cave at night erupted with water vapor, it was very quiet, and there was nothing abnormal during the day, but if Chen Zhuo glanced at his skill bar at this time, he would find that the skill of the Star Surge Technique had already been pre-lit.
