Chapter Forty-Six: Hoskin Dewey
As the saying goes: rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water.
Although the nameless mountain village is near the sea, the sea here is too dangerous, and if you catch a sea king, you will cry. So in general, people don't go fishing.
And if you can't catch fish, then hunting becomes the best livelihood.
In the past, the villagers of the nameless small mountain village relied on the large primeval forest in the back mountain, and they were able to live a prosperous and happy life, but everything has changed from six years ago.
The deep forest of the back mountain suddenly became dead and silent, and there was not a single prey in the periphery at all, and the hunters who entered the depths of the forest never returned, and the forest in the back mountain gradually became a devil's forest, which became a taboo for the villagers.
After Lynch stepped into the forest, just in case, he immediately turned on the domineering of seeing and hearing.
This time I came back from the world of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", in addition to the task rewards, Lynch has also made great progress in the application of seeing and hearing domineering, and it is really true knowledge from practice.
There are different types of domineering, and Lynch's seeing and hearing is actually just ordinary seeing and hearing, without the ability of One Piece Gore Roger to listen to all things, and not as large as the scope of Anilu's heart.
But through continuous training and use, Lynch's perception has also become a lot more powerful, not only the range has become larger, the perception has become clearer, but also can roughly distinguish the level and difference of energy.
With this ability, Lynch can predict the strength of his opponent when facing the enemy, which may not be accurate, but it can be useful.
For example, now in the forest, Lynch opened his eyes and heard domineering, and instantly could sense where there were powerful creatures in the forest, and where there were many creatures gathered.
However, what made Lynch wonder was that there really didn't seem to be a living creature in this forest, at least Lynch didn't find it.
But where is a good and vibrant forest becoming, and then it becomes a dead land? Was it killed? But who is so boring to kill all the creatures here in one night?
Lynch doesn't know what's going on? I could only continue to walk deeper into the forest, thinking: I don't believe that I have walked through this forest, and I still can't find the problem.
Lynch walked, walked, and finally... walked through the forest, but Lynch still didn't find anything.
Such a dense and lush forest, full of life, there is really not a living thing in it!
"I don't believe in evil! Master, I'll go again! Lynch gritted his teeth in hatred.
This time, Lynch changed direction and thought: If it doesn't work this time, I will level this forest! I don't believe it!
After walking for a while, seeing that he was about to go to the depths of the forest again, Lynch suddenly found that an arc-shaped valley appeared in front of him, much like the Sword Shrine Valley in the Condor Archery.
But the route Lynch took just now was not far from here, why didn't he discover this place because he was domineering?
Lynch tried to open the domineering sense of seeing and hearing color, and was shocked to find that under the perception of seeing and hearing color, the valley in front of him was gone!
How can it be? Is it a hallucination? But why is it so real?
Lynch walked into the valley in disbelief, everything was so real, sight, sound, touch, nothing was wrong, what was going on?
At this time, Lynch opened his sight and hearing again, and something strange happened, this time under Lynch's perception, the valley actually existed again, but the outside world disappeared again.
Now Lynch is completely stunned, is he hitting a ghost again, why does this time seem to be more fierce than Chu Renmei?
Just when Lynch was in a stunned daze, suddenly a red figure flashed away from the flowers not far away.
Although Lynch was in a daze, he still noticed this, and without saying a word, he immediately dodged and chased after him.
But the speed of the red figure was also very fast, and it ran away in a flash, and Lynch increased his horsepower and chased after it vigorously, but at a bend, he still lost it.
However, the people chased it away, but Lynch also discovered that the valley seemed to be real, not a hallucination. It's just that for some reason, it can isolate the domineering perception of seeing and hearing.
So Lynch simply put away his domineering appearance and began to look at the valley with the naked eye.
Compared to the forest outside, this valley is much brighter, no longer just green trees, but many more beautiful and bewishing flowers.
The strange thing is that most of these flowers have never been seen, and the few that are known are all legendary extinct ancient plants.
And in this valley, Lynch finally saw living creatures, although they were just rabbits, squirrels and other small animals, but they also had a lot more life than the forest outside.
Continuing further into the valley, Lynch found a simple wooden house in the center of the valley.
The wooden house is very simple to build, but it is beautifully decorated, with vines and beautiful flowers. There are also two small vegetable gardens in front of the hut, which are planted with various vegetables, and it seems that these two gardens are often tended to.
Lynch walked to the door of the wooden house, did not hear any movement inside, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when suddenly a voice sounded behind him.
"Boy, where are you from? Isn't it just you scared my baby Kelly. ”
Hearing the voice, Lynch was shocked into a cold sweat and immediately looked back.
I saw an old man hunched over and on crutches standing there, just what he had said.
"Who is this old man? I didn't even notice it when it appeared behind me! Lynch was secretly frightened, his precautions could not be so bad, but the other party could appear behind him quietly, which must be unusual.
"Boy, what did the old man ask you? Did you freak out little Kelly just now? Seeing that Lynch did not answer, the old man asked impatiently.
"This... Grandpa, are you mistaken, I haven't seen any Kelly? Lynch couldn't figure out what the old man meant, so he could only reply.
"That's him! That's him! He was chasing people just now, he must be a bad person! At this moment, a crisp and ethereal children's voice suddenly emerged from behind the old man.
Lynch found out that behind the old man was a four- or five-year-old Lori wearing a small red dress and pigtails.
At this time, little Lori was glaring at Lynch angrily, as if Lynch had done something bad, but when Lynch looked at it, Little Lori immediately hid behind the old man and didn't dare to show her head.
"What else do you have to say now, it scared my baby, you don't want to get out alive today." As he spoke, the old man raised his cane and walked tremblingly towards Lynch.
"Huh? Ay? "Lynch is a little Spartan, what's going on? Do you want to start if you don't get along? I didn't say anything, did I?
"Old... Grandpa, are we misunderstanding? I just..."
"There's no misunderstanding." The old man interrupted Lynch's words, and said with a gloomy face: "If you want to blame it, blame you for accidentally walking in, whoever comes in, don't want to get out alive." ”
This is... Kill somebody to do away with a witness? But you're nothing, huh? Isn't that the case?
"I... I rub! Lynch wanted to explain again, but the old man's crutches had already attacked.
The old man who was walking tremblingly just now, the speed was suddenly unbelievable, Lynch was able to dodge this crutch, but the sword qi attached to the crutch still scratched Lynch's clothes, and cut a slap-sized wound on Lynch's right arm.
"Shave!"
The situation was a bit weird, Lynch didn't dare to stay where he was, so he quickly dodged and hid aside, staring closely at the weird old man opposite, doubling his guard.
And the old man also looked at Lynch in surprise, he didn't expect a little ghost to have such strength and be able to dodge his own attack.
"Navy Six, little ghost, you're from the Navy, right?" The old man reverted to that feeling of weakness and said to Lynch.
But this time Lynch didn't really think that the old guy on the other side was really weak, Lynch was on guard, and choked in an echo: "So what? You're not going to be a wanted criminal, you want to turn yourself in. ”
"Hahaha! .... Ahem, ahem! The old man laughed as if he had heard a very funny joke.
"Little ghost, I'm not as stupid as Gore Roger, even if I want to die, I won't die at the hands of your navy."
Listening to the old man's words, Lynch seems to understand, this guy seems to be really a wanted criminal, I'm afraid he was also a powerful sea thief, right? In his later years, he hid here to retire.
It is said that in Gore Roger's era, too many people were buried, only Roger, Golden Lion, Karp and a few other peak figures have been remembered, and many sea thieves who are also strong are eclipsed under the light of this gang, and this old man is likely to be one of them.
"Boy, the old man's most hated thing in his life is the navy, since you are the navy, the old man can't let you go, be conscious." After the old man finished speaking, he immediately straightened his waist again, the old feeling on his face suddenly disappeared, his gray hair gradually turned black, the muscles on his body bulged, and he directly broke his clothes, and an old man who was about to die suddenly became a strong man.
"Old man, Hoskin Dewey! Boy, remember the name! The old man said domineeringly.
