Chapter 53: Serpentine Bear! Where's the treasure?
The herbaceous plants in the shrubs are not very tall, and many shrubs are less than three meters tall.
The soil here is barren and gravelly, and when the wind blows, it rolls up the sky full of sand, so much so that Meng Lei and Nanami Shark Liang have to order the snake bear to slow down.
"Don't know what to find?"
Nanami Shark Liang covered his mouth with his hand and whispered.
Meng Lei didn't have much hope in his heart, but just glanced at the snake bear casually, but saw the black nose of the snake bear he led sniffed vigorously, and suddenly as if he had found something, the strange steps in the shape of a zigzag seemed to be rushing.
"Huh?"
Meng Lei sighed lightly, greeted Sha Liang, and followed together.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear was digging hard at the sand in a wasteland, as if digging for something.
"Yikes! Meng Lei!
You're in luck, isn't it?
The treasure was discovered so quickly. ”
Shark Liang glanced at the busy snake bear and said with envy.
"I don't know what I'm going to dig up yet."
Meng Lei shook his head, not holding out much hope, but it was really unexpected that he could dig something up so quickly.
Unconsciously, Meng Lei was aroused by some curiosity.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear gave a small piece of red fragment to Meng Lei as if offering a treasure, Meng Lei held the elf egg in his right hand, took the fragment with his left hand, and looked at it carefully.
The luster of the metal, although a little dusty, can still feel a trace of spiritual power flowing in the hand.
"It looks like red shards."
Meng Lei muttered to himself, his tone a little delightful.
The value of this fragment is not high, but many shops will buy it, and depending on the size of this fragment, it is estimated at about a hundred gold coins, which is already worth the ticket price.
Thinking of this, Meng Lei put the red fragment into the left pocket of his pants, and took out a blue orange fruit from the jacket and hat on the back of his head.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear swallowed the orange fruit, its eyes lit up, and it licked Meng Lei's fingertips with some unfinished thoughts.
"You're doing a great job."
Meng Lei touched the head of the snake bear and said with a smile.
"Trumpet!"
The snake bear wags its big tail and seems to be happy.
His peculiar goggle-like big black eyes stared watery at Meng Lei.
"Fool, don't keep thinking about eating ......"
Meng Lei scolded with a smile, smoothing the jagged hair on the serpentine bear's back, and his eyes were a little fluttering.
"Foolish, don't keep thinking about eating!"
I also said the same thing to Yang Le at the beginning, I don't know how he is now.
"Meng Lei?"
Shark Liang's call pulled Meng Lei back from his trance.
Meng Lei fixed his eyes and saw that the snake bear was lying in front of his elf egg, looking at the elf egg with a curious expression.
And the serpentine bear of Shark Liang didn't seem to notice anything, and looked sleepy and wanted to yawn.
"Serpentine bear, keep walking."
Meng Lei straightened up and smiled.
For the next hour, the two walked a long way with their respective serpentine bears, but found nothing.
The serpentine bear dug a lot of holes, but most of them were just for excretion, and there were also some beautiful fine sand that reflected red light in the sun, which Meng Lei remembered seemed to be called star sand.
However, the collection of this kind of fine sand is too troublesome, because it is mixed with ordinary sand, and the quality of the star sand is not high, so Meng Lei and the others still gave up.
"Trumpet!"
Meng Lei's serpentine bear suddenly accelerated, as if he had found something again, Meng Lei and Shark Liang sighed, but still followed.
"If you're tired of me, won't it be tired?"
Shark Liang looked helplessly at the snake bear he led lying on the ground panting, his eyes swept over Meng Lei's energetic snake bear running around, and sighed.
"Maybe this snake bear has a lot of stamina, right?"
Meng Lei was also so tired that he couldn't breathe, and said a little tired.
"Trumpet!"
The snake bear took a purple oval stone from not far away, and happily leaned into Meng Lei's right leg and swirled around.
"Huh?
This seems to be a lucky stone, right? ”
Shark Liang glanced at the purple oval stone, his eyes widened, and he said with some uncertainty.
"Really."
Meng Lei was also a little sluggish, he didn't expect the snake bear to be so powerful.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear seemed to like this lucky stone very much, and did not give it to Meng Lei directly as before, but played with it on its own.
"Let's take a break here."
Meng Lei sat on a gray-brown stone, and Sha Liang was picked up by him and sat on his lap.
Shark Liang was holding Meng Lei's elf egg in his arms.
"The snake bear looks happy."
Shark Liang's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, and he said with some yearning.
"You're not a snake bear, how do you know it's happy?"
Meng Lei smiled, bent his arms, hugged Shark Liang, who was more than a head shorter than him, leaned the tip of his head on the top of his head, and teased.
"You're not me, how do you know I don't know that the snake bear is happy."
Shark Liang's white flutter cheek rubbed against the elf egg in his arms and said:
"Meng Lei, ask you something."
"Huh?"
Meng Lei was a little surprised, but his tone still didn't matter:
"What's the matter?"
"What is your ideal?"
There was some seriousness in Sha Liang's tone, and he turned sideways, his face almost touching the tip of Meng Lei's nose.
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"Say it."
“... How so? ”
Meng Lei hugged a rag doll like a rag doll, gently wrapped his arms around Shark Liang who was sitting on his knees, rubbed his chin on Shark Liang's hair and said:
"I thought about going to an academy like Yunshui Academy, and now I have done it.
But what to do next, I don't know. ”
"I don't know?
Meng Lei is so powerful, doesn't he have any goals? ”
Shark Liang's back was pressed against Meng Lei's chest, and he looked up at Meng Lei's pointed chin.
The wind blew through the stones, blowing the ends of Meng Lei's hair on both sides.
"Awesome?"
Meng Lei's expression changed, and he seemed to feel a little ridiculous:
"Mengyue and I have been learning about school since we were children, and my mother would urge us to learn about insect elves every day after school.
In addition, I was forced to practice playing a flute that I didn't know what the name was every day. ”
"Huh?
Is that true of Meng Lei? ”
Shark Liang said with some confusion.
"Well, because of my father's work, Mengyue and I were taught by my mother most of the time.
And my mother was very strict and checked our homework often.
But... Just get used to it. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Lei was stunned first, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he recalled a little:
"My father only came back two days a week, but he always brought us something.
They also rarely quarrel, and most of the time the mother and father are instigated as soon as they open their mouths.
I think it would be nice if I had this kind of life in the future. ”
A shallow smile appeared on Shark Liang's cheeks, and he listened quietly.
"It's so nice..."
After hearing what Meng Lei said, Sha Liang just commented simply, and after returning the elf egg to Meng Lei, he jumped off the stone, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile:
"I've rested enough, let's keep walking."
