Act Eighty-Two: The First Pot of Gold
There are many things to do, but not many in the summer. In the sweltering heat, even sitting quietly and sweating desperately flowed down, let alone going out to play.
This ghost weather is really crazy! But people still love it, and they love it deeply.
It's all because the summer air is filled with the smell of that stuff.
Hill was fragile and couldn't stand the sun's rays. The girl went up the hill and searched until she found a natural shelter in the shade. She looked up at the density of the leaves with satisfaction, and then turned her head to look at the green rice fields down the hill, and at the hut.
"The first time I saw a rice field, it turned out to be like this."
Ciel sighed softly and shook the clothes on his chest, letting the scented white heat shine through. Drops of sweat ran down the bun around her ears and down her white chin to the soil.
Fortunately, there is still a little wind in the mountain stream, and every time the wind comes, the girl will open her hands to make an encirclement action, looking like she is enjoying it very much.
Although it looks silly in the eyes of others.
Hill tilted his head to look at the endless rice fields below the mountain. The shallow muddy water, the verdant trees, and the chirping birds in the woods are all things that the farmers think are ordinary, but they seem to her to be very new and beautiful.
"Flying egrets in desert paddy fields, yellow orioles in the shade and summer wood."
The girl involuntarily said this verse, there were so many things in her head that she couldn't remember for a while which poet this poem came from. But it doesn't matter, Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted. Mortals die, and they are remembered in people's hearts. As long as this good poem can be passed down through the ages.
She leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked at the cabin in the middle of the paddy field, which Harrest said contained a gold coin. After Hill stared at the cabin motionless for ten minutes, Harrest finally appeared in the lower right corner of her vision.
Like a thief, the boy crept to tiptoe and slowly approached the hut along the narrow ridge. He had been searching for days, and today he finally found out where this guy was hiding.
Because of the Ice Moon Seal, there seemed to be an iceberg hidden in his body, so this kind of unbearable hot weather for ordinary people was just a little warmer in Hallest's opinion. The boy was very calm in his heart, and he did not feel irritable, which allowed him to move forward so patiently and slowly.
Harrest was facing the back of the cabin, and he was very, very cautious when he didn't know the door of the cabin, for fear of alarming the contents of the cabin.
When the boy approached the wooden house, he did not launch a fierce attack on the target in the house, but put his hand on the ground and launched the holy seal. Layers of ice chips rise from the ground and are constantly melted by the high temperatures. Although there is not much ice chips accumulating over and over again, the overall temperature around the cabin is still dropping rapidly.
Harrester tried to keep his mana as steady as he could, so that the ice chips didn't crack.
Inside this small cabin was a fire spirit snake, a second-order demonic beast. Its head is flattened, with its wings extending to the sides, allowing it to fly for a distance with just a few quick swims on the ground. With a nimble body and cautious nerves, this rare monster has been named one of the toughest prey of the year.
Harrester had seen a poster for the creature's bounty in the last town they had traveled to, and the price of a gold coin forced him to try it. Although Hill thought this kind of summer hunting was stupid and objected, Harrester did not listen at all, and was so excited that he went around for information that day.
In the end, Hill had no choice but to follow.
"This fire-type snake, as long as you lower the temperature around it to freezing, it will be at your mercy as if it was dead." Hallrest took Hill's words as a final bet. He had seen the speed of this fire spirit snake two days ago, and he would definitely not be able to catch it if he took action.
Ice chips were slowly rising and had climbed up the windows of the cabin. Harast was ready to use his magic to freeze the room in an instant after he sealed the small windows and wooden doors on the sides.
Hill looked at Hallest, crouched behind the cabin with his hands on the ground, as if he were playing with mud. "How did such a person manage to kill decisively......" The girl knew almost everything, but Harrest's two-faced personality made her unpredictable.
"Click......
The sudden sound of ice chips collapsing was so loud that even Hill on the mountain could faintly hear it. Harrest, who was behind the cabin, forgot the weight of the ice chips themselves, and he made the ice film as thick as he could, and eventually the overwhelmed weight underneath collapsed.
"Convex!"
Harrest roared, and he was going crazy. He's been spending a long time on this snakeskin thing, but he didn't expect it to fail!
"Shhh
Harrest's curse was echoed by a long, strange roar. The moment the hiss reached Harlist's ears, a fiery red shadow quickly swept out of the cabin, swam some distance in the paddy field, and suddenly rose into the sky, and disappeared between heaven and earth with a few flashes.
Everything happened in an instant, the sound of ice splinters, the angry roar of Harrest, the hissing of the fire spirit snake. The three voices are superimposed as if they were playing music......
Halleste sat limply on the ground, his hands on the ground, and looked up at the sky.
"Poof...... A sucker! Hill couldn't help but laugh as he watched Harreste sit limply on the ground with a dejected look.
But just as Harrest was depressed, there was a sudden faint whistling sound from the cabin.
"There's still something in there?!" Hallrest is confident in his hearing, and he doesn't think it's a self-soothing auditory hallucination.
The boy hurriedly got up and rushed to the main entrance of the wooden house, and gently opened the door. A blue-and-white cat-like creature lay on the ground, blood constantly flowing from its hind legs. Harrest has never seen such a beautiful cat, this kind of creature, at a glance can make people's hearts cute!
The cat's eyes looked like it was crying for help, and it didn't mean to resist Harrest at all.
The boy squatted down and observed the cat's wound, which looked like it had been bitten by the fire spirit snake. Fortunately, the wound was not serious, and the fire spirit snake should have eaten enough to catch it as a plaything.
"This cat sold to the noblewoman in the city is definitely worth more than that fire spirit snake!" Harrester looked at the cat lying on the ground, as happy as if he had seen a baby.
He didn't expect that the first pot of gold that he was a bounty hunter was actually given by the prey......
Harrester picked up the blue and white kitten and walked out of the cabin and beckoned to Hill on the hill. From afar, Hill looked at the kitten and frowned in surprise.
"This guy is lucky enough to pick up this rare variety!" The girl looked at the cat in Harrest's arms and recognized what breed it was, and she didn't have time to hesitate, so she picked up her skirt and ran down the path down the hill.
