Chapter Twenty-Six: Investigation Out of the City
After Yi Ming answered the phone, it was his classmate Li Qiuyu who appeared on the screen.
"Hey, primitives, do you have time tomorrow?" Li Qiuyu asked unceremoniously.
Her call surprised Yi Ming very much, "Yes, I just didn't have any tasks in the past two days, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want you to take me out of the city tomorrow."
Yi Ming shook his head and said, "Impossible, I won't take you there, if something happens to you, how can I explain to my senior brother?" ”
"Hey, I've heard what my brother said, you have the strength of three stars now, what are you afraid of?"
"You haven't been out and don't know the dangers of the wilderness. My little strength is no different from looking for death when I take you out! Yi Ming strongly refused.
Li Qiuyu said a little angrily: "Okay, if you don't take me, then I'll go by myself." I'll tell my brother before I go, you have it with you, and if something happens to me, just wait and see! ”
"Classmate Qiu Yu, are you mistaken, can't you find a master in your family to accompany you out of the city? Why do you have to pull me? ”
"It's because I don't want those people in the family to follow me that I called you, otherwise do you think I want to? Originally, my brother agreed to take me out of the city, but he was suddenly pulled by Lei Lao to do the mission. By the way, didn't Lei Lao call you? You're also his disciple. ”
Yi Ming said helplessly: "My strength is not enough, and the task given to me by the teacher now is to hurry up and upgrade, and pass the Samsung test first." ”
"Well, it looks like you're still weak! That's it, you can take me to the fifth and sixth districts of the southern forest. Li Qiuyu said a little arrogantly.
"Okay, these two districts are not very dangerous, and it's okay to take you to see them, but you have to listen to me, otherwise I won't be responsible for anything that happens." Hearing Li Qiuyu say that she didn't go to the depths of the forest, Yi Ming thought about it and was relieved, "Tell me first what you want to do when you go out of the city?" ”
"Do you see that I don't enter the main combat class, but I haven't had a real actual battle, so I want to compete with real beasts. Of course, I know my own strength, I just go to trouble those little beasts, and nothing will happen. I don't know why, Li Qiuyu's voice unconsciously became smaller when she said this.
Yi Ming nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I'll also go by the way to collect some materials, these two days have been hunting, and I haven't had time to investigate these peripheral areas, so I just went to investigate." ”
Li Qiuyu showed a smile and said, "Then it's decided, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you will come to pick me up at the school gate." ”
"Good!" Yi Ming seemed to remember something, and he asked, "Tomorrow?" Tomorrow Thursday, you don't have to go to class? ”
Li Qiuyu pouted and said, "Have you forgotten that we did a test on Monday?" Today's test results came out, we have two days off, plus four days on weekends, which is used for us to communicate with parents and completely decide the direction of future learning. ”
"How did you do on this test?"
"Do you look down on me or my family? My grades have always been in the top three in the school, and I often get the first place. This time, I only won a second place, because I lacked a little practical experience, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to take me out of town. ”
"Well, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I'll pick you up."
"Well, that's for now, I'll have to get ready. You're going to be on time tomorrow. ”
"Don't worry, I'll be there early in the morning!" Yi Ming assures.
Li Qiuyu nodded across the video and hung up.
"Whew." Yi Ming exhaled a long breath, I don't know why, he always felt a little uncomfortable when facing Li Qiuyu, there seemed to be an invisible pressure on her.
Shaking his head, Yi Ming pulled back his thoughts and began to study. Three hours later, he called Jeriman to see that he had come out of the medical pod, which made him feel relieved, and expressed his desire to borrow his hovercar for use.
Jereman needed to rest for the past two days, and there was no place to use the car, so he readily agreed.
In this era, the technology of hovering cars has been very perfect, although ordinary people also need things like driver's licenses, but for hunters, the identity of hunters is their driver's license, so Yi Ming is not worried about driving without a license at all, not to mention that autonomous driving has long been popularized here, as long as there is a map, it can also be automated in the wild.
Yi Ming's current residence was some distance from the Hunting Blade, he got up early in the morning, and it took him nearly an hour to get to the Hunting Blade door, and there were only twenty minutes left before the time they had agreed.
After only waiting for five minutes, Li Qiuyu appeared in Yi Ming's sight, and as soon as he saw her, Yi Ming let the car move forward automatically, and at the same time opened the window and called Li Qiuyu.
Li Qiuyu got into the car with a disgusted face, "Tsk, where did you get the broken car?" If I had known, I would have told my brother that he would get the car ready. ”
"My eldest lady, we're not going on an outing, okay. Besides, I borrowed this car from my teammates, and it was already very face-saving for others to borrow it. ”
"Okay, okay, let's go, I'm going to stay in the forest for seven or eight hours, go early and come back early." Li Qiuyu said in an instructive tone.
Yi Ming nodded, and after setting the route, he activated the autopilot function.
Seeing Yi Ming's operation, Li Qiuyu said with some disdain: "Hey, don't tell me you can't drive, are you really a primitive from the wild?" ”
Yi Ming said a little unhappily: "I have a name, not called Hey, and I am not a primitive person." I'm just late adventurous to these things, and if I had the same conditions as you, I'd not just be a hunter who hasn't passed the Samsung test now. ”
Li Qiuyu snorted lightly and said, "Hmph, if you hadn't met Lei Lao, you could sit next to me now?" ”
Yi Ming didn't know what to say, so he just closed his eyes and ignored her. Although he has suffered a lot of anger since he met Li Qiuyu, this is the first time he has shown dissatisfaction.
Deep down, he kept telling himself that she was just a twelve-year-old rebellious child, and it was normal that she was neither big nor small. But Li Qiuyu sneered at him too many times, and Yi Ming inevitably accumulated some resentment in his heart, and it didn't break out until today.
Li Qiuyu also ignored Yi Ming, snorted, and turned his head to look out the window.
went out of the city all the way unhindered, and after coming to District 1, Yi Ming found an open space and put the car away.
"Hey, this is District 1, it's still so far from District 4, why don't you keep driving?" Li Qiuyu asked.
Yi Ming said impatiently: "Since you are here to learn experience, then you must also learn in a hurry." Along the way, you'll have a general impression of the wilderness. ”
"Forget it, I'll listen to you once. But you need to slow down a little bit in front of me, and I need you to help me sweep when I see the right target. ”
Yi Ming nodded, and when he saw Li Qiuyu ready, he took her to the forest.
Along the way, Li Qiuyu looked around like a curious baby, and from time to time asked Yi Ming if something was on the illustrated book.
Yi Ming also patiently told her, and at the same time, it was the first time that Yi Ming seriously observed this forest from the perspective of a hunter.
Although this forest is the same forest as the forest he used to go to on an outing, the ecology here is very good. Great hares, unknown beautiful birds, and strange insects can be found everywhere.
In just half an hour, Yi Ming collected more than ten kinds of materials, and even Li Qiuyu shot several birds and small beasts.
After almost two hours of freshness, Li Qiuyu began to urge Yi Ming to go deeper, because during this time she hunted three small wild boars and two small herbivorous dragons, which made her heart swell a little.
Because Li Qiuyu's physical fitness was not enough, she could not use the moon stepping shoes, and it took another two and a half hours to enter the center of the fourth district.
If this area continues to go forward, there will be one-star large beasts, and these beasts are still very dangerous for Li Qiuyu now.
The large beasts they simulated in the school were just a greatly weakened projection, and the real beasts were much stronger. Yi Ming also reminded her of this repeatedly, but she showed that she didn't care.
After searching the area for ten minutes, Li Qiuyu finally saw the real one-star beast for the first time, and this beast was called the Earth Iguana.
It is a giant lizard that can reach a height of one hundred and seventy centimeters and a length of two hundred and thirty centimeters. Although it is large, it is not very powerful, so it is an omnivorous animal.
In order to maintain their size, they nibble on the plants of the forest almost all the time. When they are particularly hungry, they will hunt small beasts to replenish their energy.
The ground iguana that Yi Ming and the others encountered was only a medium to small size, and seeing Li Qiuyu's confident look, Yi Ming took the spear and stepped aside, asking her to try the strength of the large beast first. Yi Ming was confident that he would protect Li Qiuyu and not let her be hurt too much.
And Li Qiuyu, who was full of self-confidence, had already pulled out her novice horizontal knife and put on a posture of Heavenly Fire Dance to fight with the ground iguana.
"Ding Ding Ding", Li Qiuyu's attack couldn't even break through the ground iguana's defense, and every wave of the ground iguana's claws and tail flicks made Li Qiuyu deal with it in a hurry.
In the final analysis, it is the reason why she is young now and her physical fitness is not strong, and she sweats profusely after fighting for less than five minutes. Now she doesn't have much energy to attack the ground iguana, just blindly dodge and defend.
"Yi Ming! Help me. In the end, Li Qiuyu couldn't hold on.
Hearing her plea, Yi Ming raised his gun and flicked the ground iguana's claws, easily defusing its attack on Li Qiuyu.
In the face of this beast weaker than the Blue Feather Dragon, in just two minutes, Yi Ming's spear pierced its belly and killed it on the spot.
After dealing with the ground iguana, Yi Ming returned to Li Qiuyu's side and guarded her to slowly recover her strength.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the birds in the forest were constantly startled, Yi Ming knew at a glance that something was wrong, this was a high-level beast that came out to feed.
To be able to encounter high-level beasts in such a low-level area, it can only be said that their luck is really good.
Yi Ming released the hovercar without saying a word, and quickly retreated with Li Qiuyu.
Li Qiuyu also knew that she had met a high-level beast, and now the situation was not good, so she didn't play with her eldest lady's temper, and sat quietly in the car to pay attention to the movements behind her.
