Chapter 25: The Herd
In the two hours before dawn, Wang Xingjiang kept dripping seawater on his hands to stimulate himself and avoid falling asleep.
It may be that the quantitative change caused the qualitative change, and when the sun rose and Wang Xingjiang finally fell asleep, the chill on his left hand could not dissipate, and even began to emit cold on its own.
This made Wang Xingjiang spontaneously shrink up in his sleep and began to tremble.
Because of the cold, Wang Xingjiang in the dream has been looking for something warm, but fortunately, it didn't take long to hold a goal. Feeling the cold subside, Wang Xingjiang fell asleep peacefully.
Although he slept quite comfortably, Wang Xingjiang still got up on time. As soon as he woke up, he felt that he was holding a warm thing, and combined with his own situation, Wang Xingjiang could know what it was with a casual guess.
looked into his arms, and sure enough, it was the little fire dragon that got into his arms.
The little fire dragon sensed Wang Xingjiang's movement, and immediately broke free of his embrace and ran to the side to play with the little tall bird.
Wang Xingjiang was a little embarrassed, but he was immediately relieved. The little fire dragon has begun to take the initiative to come to the door, and he will definitely be able to let himself masturbate casually in the future.
Eh, there is actually a rabbit, and Wang Xingjiang, who was about to get up, found the gift in front of him. Also, in addition to the cattle and rabbit holes, there is no shortage of large and small meat on this plain.
Hanging the rabbit on the bag, Wang Xingjiang set off.
This time, there was no other point to point, and the group traveled along the coastline, and as long as the plain was not surrounded by the sea on three sides, they could move on to the next plot as soon as possible.
In order to save time, Wang Xingjiang ate while walking, and told the little ones not to go near the beach from time to time.
The little ones are obedient and do not approach the beach, but they are not quiet. Even if there are no butterflies to chase, chasing each other and playing is enough to make them happy.
However, on this day, Wang Xingjiang's luck didn't seem to be very good, and until the noon break, all that appeared in front of him was the never-ending waves and endless dead grass.
It wasn't until around four o'clock in the afternoon that Wang Xingjiang noticed a touch of green in the distance.
Finally found the next plot, and eighty percent of it was grassland, Wang Xingjiang, who had a dry mouth, was in a much better mood. Even if you don't have vegetables and fruits, dig a pit and there is groundwater, so you can safely replenish water.
Taking a closer look, Wang Xingjiang got a good news and a bad news one after another.
The first piece of bad news is that this isn't the next plot, but just a small patch of grass.
The good news is that this small patch of grass has a large berry bush and a bright light source.
I didn't expect that I could still meet an adventure, which made Wang Xingjiang, who had no hope for his luck at all, very surprised.
And what surprised him even more was that there were no pigmen guarding here!
According to the game's setting, this small area seems to be the territory of the Pig King, and the pillar of fire in the bushes is one of the symbols.
Another sign is that the pigmen who are accompanied by the six relatives who do not recognize each other and fight when they see people are guarded.
So where did the pigman guards go here?
Wang Xingjiang did not find any traces of the battle nearby, so he could only secretly wonder. However, this is convenient for Wang Xingjiang, and he can easily pocket this piece of berry.
It's almost evening, so let's just rest here for the night.
To be on the safe side, Wang Xingjiang still prepared an unlit fire in advance to avoid the flame on the pillar of fire from suddenly extinguishing.
Fortunately, the flames on the pillar of fire did not go out with the darkness, which made Wang Xingjiang feel a lot more relieved.
Looking at the darkness around him, Wang Xingjiang felt that he might know the reason for the disappearance of the pigman guards.
The first two days are full moon nights, and pigmen who fail to sleep except for the Pig King will go crazy at this time and become mad pigs that attack wantonly, and the more powerful pigman guards are no exception.
And because the plains are also a gathering place for cattle, the pigman guards who turned into mad pigs should have been wiped out by attacking the herd.
The corners of Wang Xingjiang's mouth rose, and he suddenly felt that his luck was not bad.
Wait a minute, and one more question, what the hell is going on with this moon? How is it that there is light when the moon is full for two days, and the moon at other times? Am I that big a moon?
found another problem that he couldn't figure out at all, and Wang Xingjiang had to use his expertise again to forget about it.
Dinner was freshly peeled rabbit meat and fresh berries, and Wang Xingjiang and Little Fire Dragon both ate it very happily. After all, although bacon is delicious, it is really unbearable to eat it all the time.
The evening leisure activity is berry picking, which is so productive that a large bag is filled with a third of the pick, and the little stilt bird's food storage has been greatly improved.
Wang Xingjiang chose to continue the vigil, after all, he didn't know if the black hand would pinch the flame of the pillar of fire, and he didn't know if the pillar of fire would be extinguished in reality. Anyway, Wang Xingjiang has already begun to get used to vigils, and then staying up late is no big deal.
However, this pillar of fire is really magical, it is a rare permanent light source in the game, and Wang Xingjiang is very curious about the principle. But he didn't dare to take it apart to see the structure, so Wang Xingjiang studied the pattern for a night, and then found nothing.
When I woke up during the day, another rabbit appeared in front of Wang Xingjiang. Wang Xingjiang was very puzzled, there doesn't seem to be a rabbit hole around here, where did the little tall bird catch the rabbit?
Then Wang Xingjiang found that the little fire dragon with the little stilt bird was shrinking behind him, huh? Why are you pretending to be Jenny Turtle again? Is there anything scary about it?
When Wang Xingjiang looked up, he met a pair of huge eyes. The situation of staring at Wang Xingjiang with big eyes suddenly forced Wang Xingjiang to be blind, but he still immediately raised his sword to defend himself.
The "big eye" on the opposite side was also startled by Wang Xingjiang's actions and took a step back, but seeing that Wang Xingjiang had no other movements, it continued to bow its head and eat grass with peace of mind.
After looking at it carefully, Wang Xingjiang put down his sword, and it was just a false alarm.
Big-Eyed is identified as Piflo Cow, a social neutral creature and a budding new best friend.
In the game, the image of Piflo Niu is a round ball, looking stupid and cute, and the individual combat effectiveness is not high, so they have a certain threat when they live in groups.
But now the cow in front of Wang Xingjiang is not cute at all, although the hair is also rich, but it can be clearly seen that the strong muscle outline under the fur is completely a muscle monster.
Moreover, there were dried blood stains on the horns of this cow, and Wang Xingjiang felt that this was one of the murderers who killed the pigman guards, because there were more than a dozen companions of different sizes behind this cow.
Fortunately, he didn't cut it down just now, Wang Xingjiang began to beat the drum in his heart, so many cows just rushed over and we couldn't save them.
Seeing that the Piflo cow was just grazing quietly, Wang Xingjiang pulled the little fire dragon out and began to explain to it the relevant information about these cows, especially reminding the little fire dragon not to attack.
The little fire dragon realized that these cows were not in any danger, and immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Wang Xingjiang began to be on guard to prevent emergencies. Fortunately, the gentle Piflo Niu was not frightened, and the two sides communicated amicably.
Seeing that there were no accidents, Wang Xingjiang ate the berries with confidence.
By the time Wang Xingjiang was full, the relationship between the little fire dragon and the Piflo cow was good enough to allow it to run around on the Piflo cow, and now the little fire dragon was greeting Wang Xingjiang on the cow's head.
Well, the affinity of the little fire dragon is too high.
However, when it was time to hit the road, Wang Xingjiang beckoned the little fire dragon to set off.
The little fire dragon climbed down the body of the cow and communicated with the Piflo ox for a while, and then Wang Xingjiang saw the little fire dragon climbing up again with the little tall bird on its head.
Yes? What does that mean?
Then Wang Xingjiang saw the little fire dragon and rode towards it on a Piflo ox.
Wang Xingjiang was stunned again, why are you still on the mount, little fire dragon!
The end result was that Wang Xingjiang was walking alone on the ground, followed by a group of Piflo cows.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Wang Xingjiang saw several huge red mosaics in the distance. It's good that I didn't do it just now, otherwise I would have had to have three more mosaics.
I don't know if it's because of the herd, Wang Xingjiang didn't talk about rabbits this time, and he didn't see a single butterfly. So Wang Xingjiang can only look at the grass, the sea and the sky, and he is extremely bored.
Suddenly, Wang Xingjiang heard the regular cry of the little fire dragon, as if it was singing. When Wang Xingjiang turned around, the little tall bird also sang along, and the Piflo cow also began to hum softly, and the tune naturally appeared.
It's quite nice, Wang Xingjiang naturally smiled, and his life was actually not bad.
With the song until noon, Wang Xingjiang finally found the trace of the next plot.
The little fire dragon also saw the greenery in the distance, so it took the little tall bird to slide down from the Piflo ox and ran to Wang Xingjiang's side.
With a good heart, one person and one dragon bid farewell to the herd together. The cows mooed in response, and then turned around and walked back to the plain.
Wang Xingjiang and his entourage watched the cattle go away, so they turned around in the noise and continued to move in the direction of the grassland.
