12. Demon Tracking
The morning sun is shining, the temperature is right, and the moisture is moist but not sticky, and it is not too boring to travel in this comfortable air, and the various creatures that live here must have the same thoughts as me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For example, this turtle shell in front of me.
Far away I saw the turtle lying on its stomach by the river, and it didn't move until we were about to get to it, and then when I realized that we were approaching, it shrank into its shell.
Stupid turtle!
[β Turtle Demon, Lv8, Third-Order Aquatic Habitat, Combat Power 10]
When I saw the word "demon", I immediately became interested in it. The so-called demons are intelligent individuals who have mutated from the unintelligent race, and can use witchcraft, and are called monsters, but in fact they are not hostile to humans, but the misunderstanding of ordinary people will always force them to confront humans.
This turtle demon refuses to come out no matter how much I call, and touching its shell is not recognized by the system as physical contact, and there is no way to make it a girl.
I had no choice but to let the master and them make a relatively large movement while leaving, while he hid his body and suppressed his breath, and sat next to the turtle shell.
After a long while, it was not until the four of them had walked far away that the turtle showed its head.
"It's finally out, and I've been waiting for it so hard." Touching its head, without waiting for it to react, quickly resorted to the Dafa of Nianghua.
With a "bang", the touched head turned into a human head with short orange hair, but the face was not visible when it was face down, and the obvious feature that I immediately noticed was the two balls on both sides of the head.
Then she finally realized that I was still with her, and tried to retract into her shell, and her hands and feet were strangely retracted, but her head was unsuccessful.
Because her balls are stuck outside......
Pulling two balls in my tug, I pulled her head out.
"I won't eat you again, what are you hiding?"
"Who are you? What have you turned me into? β
Sure enough, they can talk, so humans can actually communicate with youkai.
"It's a last resort to get you out," I said half-truthfully, "and now the rest of the shell is in human form!" What do you think? β
She stretched out her arms and legs, put her hands in front of her eyes and looked at them, and after a while, she spat out one word: "-Oh." β
β¦β¦ The response is so cold.
"Let's see if I can get up." I said, if it's a turtle, forget it, what do you look like a yellow-haired girl lying on the ground.
She stood up tremblingly, obviously unaccustomed to standing on her feet, and her arms fluttered and she was about to fall forward. I pushed her turtle shell to keep her balanced. Her entire upper torso was wrapped in a turtle shell, and she couldn't see the curves or welfare at all.
"Hmm...... It's still comfortable to lie down. β
After saying that, she lay down on her back, her face basking in the sun, and she looked happy. I can finally see her face.
System, are you mistaken, this face and this hairstyle, why isn't it pink hair?
[According to calculations, if the target's hair color changes to pink, the target will not be observed or perceived]
How did you calculate the system...... And the effect is not so excessive.
"You've been lying here for so long just to bask in the sun?" I asked.
"Uh-huh," she replied as she exhaled in a prolonged tone as she exhaled, exuding the virus of a contagion called laziness.
"I've wanted to dry my face and belly on my back for a long time, and I couldn't turn it back once I was on all fours, but I couldn't help it, but now it's finally happening, ah--it's so cool."
This is the so-called "turtle" philosophy.
"You don't look like a bad person, but you have a demonic aura on you." The turtle demon said suddenly.
Is this the reason why she is avoiding us, I took out the two scales: "It's this thing, we're looking for a lizardman." "Youkai, as a life on the mainland, is also hostile to demons, so I generously told her, anyway, with her ability to move like this, I really don't worry about what she will do.
"Oh, I've seen that one."
"Huh? It's true? Where is it? "I didn't expect it.
"In the direction of the grassland."
"When did you see it?"
"The day before yesterday."
It seems that the demon didn't take such a turtle seriously at all, and just exposed his tracks. But why did you go to the grassland again, more than a month has passed, could it be that the lizard demon has walked so much?
Less than a day's walk down the river is the grassland.
So I had a guess that the demon was driven in this direction was actually the direction it came from, and after the goblin left, it turned back and continued to the original target, and then went to the target to deliver the letter, and now it is on the way back!
"Miss Turtle Demon thanks you for your information, are you interested in coming to the city to play? We'll take care of you. β
"Then I don't have to, I just need a comfortable place to bask in the sun, and it's nice to meet an interesting human like you today."
Saying that I wished her a comfortable basking in the sun in the future, I said goodbye to this turtle and went after Master and them. The four of them were moving at turtle speed (I just had a new understanding of "turtle" speed, some turtles have a speed of 0), and when they returned to the middle of the group, I told everyone that the turtle had seen the whereabouts of the demon.
"Your inference is likely to be correct," Master nodded solemnly, "It seems that we are going to speed up, most of that demon has the news sent back by the contact object, and we will try to block it!" β
Although there were only three orders for Li Wei and Liuli, their physical fitness was not too bad, and the two of them did not slow down much, and we almost rushed to the grassland at the fastest speed.
"Master, who is the demon contacting, and what forces are there in that direction?"
The extension line from the grassland to the Luoyan River is the object of suspicion.
"If it takes more than a month to send the message, even considering that the lizard demon needs to hide their whereabouts, the speed is not very fast, and it will be more than enough to reach the countries on the border of the mainland."
So why did it take so long? Is there more than one target to be linked?
"If you really join forces with a number of countries on the mainland, things will be a little tricky." Master sighed.
While speculating on countless possibilities in our minds, we quickly ran along the riverbank, and before we knew it, the sun was setting, and we finally reached the grassland before we were exhausted.
"Isn't this grassland also called the Falling Goose Grassland, Master?"
Having said that, it is clear that the name of the river has set up such a flag, and the master actually has nothing to do, which is really unscientific.
"Do you want Master to die so much?" Master struck me on the forehead with a knife in one hand, "This grassland is next to the road between the two countries, so we take one word from each of the two countries, and call it Summer Grassland." β
Once again, I couldn't help but worry about the intelligence of the king of the opposite country.
It was a bit frustrating to make a fire on the grassland, so there was no barbecue for dinner, so we had to eat some wild fruits to satisfy our hunger, and it took a lot of effort to hurry, especially when Liuli and Zhiwei could no longer walk, so I let the two of them sleep with the master after eating.
It is said that some monsters of the third order or so will appear at night on the grassland, so I volunteered to take on the task of keeping vigil, after all, my perception can play a big role when I can't see clearly at night.
And Luo Fei said that "I can't let little Lori keep a vigil alone", lying on the blanket to chat with me, but I was very disgusted by his tone, and the chat went very well, and after more than an hour, he finally couldn't help but fall asleep.
Actually, I'm also very sleepy, but after turning on the breath perception, there are a lot of second- and third-order breaths in my skill range, although those breaths don't seem to be hostile to us, but I'm still a little worried, so I don't dare to sleep at all.
βοΌβ
Suddenly, outside of my perception, a black dot appeared in my field of vision, which gradually grew larger and was approaching this direction.
Looking at my friends who were resting peacefully behind me, I stood up with a very light movement and moved a few steps forward, stealthy and vigilant. The goal is to try not to affect everyone's sleep, judging from the speed of that black shadow, the strength will not be too strong, and I should be able to deal with it alone.
The dark shadow entered my perceptual range.
Only then did I realize that the speed of that breath was not only "not fast", but could be described as "slow". Not even the third order, will such a weak person be an enemy?
Wrong!
There are two breaths!
The third-order aura that could not be seen in the field of vision was behind the black shadow, and the two aura were moving in this direction one after the other, and it was not straight towards the five of us, the direction of the two aura was a little off, and it didn't seem to be aiming at us.
It was already relatively close to me, but I could only see a figure, and that figure was running, but the speed could only be said to be a little faster than when I was wandering away from the second order.
Since it is human, it is necessary to go over and take a look.
But just as I was about to move, the figure seemed to fall.
So the breath behind caught up, coinciding with the breath of a human, and thenβ
"Ahhhh
A small scream was heard, and the aura of the human began to weaken noticeably! No one woke up behind me, and it seemed that the sound could only be heard by me, whose hearing had been enhanced by the heightened perception.
I immediately understood the situation and hurried to the location in my senses.
