2.4 Starry Night II

After turning over the back mountain, a valley appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Fox Sang is familiar with the road, and takes the teenagers down the hill to the valley, although the way down the mountain is more difficult, but Fox Sang can always find a path before the end of the road, which can not help but make the teenagers amazed.

When the boys came to the valley, the terrain gradually flattened, and the three of them and one fox followed the valley forward, until they walked out of the valley and reached a hill, and then stopped to breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Hahaha, my fox finally escaped." Fox Sang turned his head, his mouth grinned wide, laughed loudly in the direction of the fox village in the distance, and jumped up and down on the ground, obviously very happy.

Ke Zhenshi couldn't feel Husang's mood, but when he saw that he looked a little hideous, he couldn't help but sneer, "If I had seen you yesterday, maybe I would have gone up and beaten you twice." ”

"You...... Do you have elders who love you so much, and you always want to run out, aren't you afraid that they will be sad? ”

Di Qingchuan looked at Hu Sang with a complicated expression, and there was indescribable envy in his eyes.

"It's not running, it's running! I finally escaped, but I was sad, I didn't do it once or twice, they worried about me at most, hahaha. Husang took a deep breath of the air in the mountains and forests, as if the air here was much better than that in Fox Village.

Rui Gong looked at the little white fox in front of him and shook his head helplessly. As for the matter of running away from home, she is also from the past, but for different reasons.

"Fox Sang, strange in the jungle...... Are there a lot of monsters? Di Qingchuan carefully observed the surroundings, the strange jungle was full of light and darkness, and in the dark, all kinds of vague outlines were filled into vivid monsters.

"Nighttime? Fortunately, higher creatures generally come out of nocturn, and only some lower creatures will appear at night, but I can handle the lower creatures, so you don't have to worry. Husang walked in front and patted his chest and said arrogantly.

"Last time we met a big tiger with huge wings, it seems to be called Batian, we shouldn't meet it, right?" Rui Gong said.

"Deception?"

"Hmm."

"Batian is the leader of the Poor Qi Clan, the Poor Qi Clan should live in the forest bordering the Forbidden Land in Yunmo Continent, and generally do not move here, how can you see the Poor Qi Clan, it is a little strange...... But don't worry too much, don't worry about me. I'm all too familiar with the area. ”

"That'...... Do you know why these plants glow? Di Qingchuan looked around and said cautiously.

"You said these plants, according to the book, this world is full of different attributes of heaven and earth spiritual power, when the unique spiritual power is absorbed into the body of living beings, and the organism of living beings will be combined, and at the same time will be born and annihilated, those rays of light are the concrete manifestation of the power operation after assimilation of spiritual power in their bodies."

"It's mysterious." Ke Zhenshi scratched his head.

"Not to mention plants, we animals also emit light, but animals will cover their own light, and they are more advanced than plants in terms of operation level." Husan recounts the knowledge in the book.

"Then we have been in this world for a long time, will we also shine?" Rui Gong thought.

"Glow!" Husang sighed, "When you can absorb the spirit into your body, you will naturally shine when you use the spiritual power." After speaking, Husang seemed to have lost interest in the conversation, and walked forward silently with his head bowed.

Rui Gong saw that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't continue to ask more, but just looked around vigilantly, and glanced at Husang from time to time, thoughtfully.

Husang took the lead, strolling through the jungle like a leisurely stroll, and everyone followed behind, and this part of the road was surprisingly smooth.

When they turned to a large tree that was hugged by several people, Husang suddenly stopped, and his ears, which had been drooping, were erected.

Ke Zhenshi wanted to step forward to ask, but Husang immediately turned his head to silence him, and then motioned for the teenagers to hide behind the big tree with him.

The trees are full of foliage, and through the half-hidden leaf gaps, you can see what is happening in the woodland ahead. Fox Sang bared half of his head and looked forward; The boys were also curious about what he was looking at, so they all stuck their heads out to look, and the four heads were lined up in a row, hiding behind the large shaded leaves.

At first, the teenagers could not see or hear anything, but soon there was a sparse sound of footsteps in the distance, and as time went on, the footsteps became louder and louder, and the footsteps of different weights seemed extremely abrupt in the bleak forest, like a drum beating in the hearts of the teenagers.

He ...... They're not going to find out about us, are they? Di Qingchuan twisted his body uneasily.

"Probably not." Fox Sang looked up and looked around, uncertain.

By this time, the teenagers could already see some figures swaying in the darkness. At first, it was very vague, but as the figure approached, a group of rickety creatures, numbering about forty or fifty, were gradually revealed, and the group of creatures carried something like a hoe on their shoulders, looking around as they walked, very vigilant.

The creature's ranks were arranged according to size, with the big ones walking in front, the skinny ones walking behind, and the one at the front of the line was also the largest, and the creature looked like a leader, turning back from time to time as he walked, talking to his companions behind.

Unexpectedly, when the group of ugly creatures came to a stop in front of the bush where the teenagers were. With the leader's shout, the group of creatures immediately chattered into discussion, their voices hoarse and unpleasant, like rags torn by the cold wind, and the content of their speech was so vague that the three teenagers did not understand a word.

The teenagers were afraid of disturbing these ugly creatures by making noises, so they had to hold their breath one by one, maintaining their original posture, and not daring to hold on.

Coincidentally, the creatures stopped and walked until they reached the big tree where the boys were, and then they sat in a group, as if waiting for something.

Sure enough, after a cup of tea, a large group of ugly creatures came from behind. Unlike the previous ones, these walked more slowly, and there were mountains on their bodies, as if they were carrying something.

After they joined the previous group of creatures, they successively removed the huge rucksacks from their backs, and when they opened them, they saw that there were fruits of all sizes and colors.

The one at the head was obviously very pleased with the fruits, so he picked up a large one and put it in his mouth, and took a big bite of it. Seeing this, the rest of the creatures rushed up and scrambled to eat all the fruits in their backpacks.

After a long time, the creatures ate their bellies one by one, burped contentedly, kicked the rest of the fruit until it was all crushed, and then pushed each other out of the place.

Waiting for the sneaky figures to slowly walk away, the teenagers waited for a while and found that there was no movement before they dared to run out from behind the trees.

"Husang, what are those creatures? Looks like a ...... Wretched! ”

Rui Gong held back for a long time for this wording before he popped up a word.

"They're called moles." Fox Sang glanced at the direction they were leaving and continued, "The earth mole is a social species, with super reproductive ability, and generally likes to go out in groups. But they're not a good thing, they don't usually have anything serious, and they know how to steal chickens and dogs all day long. Shicai must have stolen the fruit from the nearby woods and obtained it, so he came here to share the spoils. We have a saying that 'when the soil mole crosses the border, everyone shouts and beats'. If this were for my father, he would definitely teach them a good lesson. ”

"Then why didn't you just go up and teach them a lesson, and instead take us to hide here?" Ke Zhenshi said with an angry face. During that time just now, his head was pressed to the bottom by Fox Sang and Rui Gong, and the cat held his body for so long that now his legs are numb; I accidentally ate a bite of fox fur.

Husang rolled his eyes, "Are you really stupid or fake stupid, although this little earth mole is not good at fighting alone, but people like to fight collectively, if I get on, I will solve four or five at most, and the remaining dozens of them, can you help me solve them?" ”

"That'...... We can't beat it, and we can't coax it. Ke Zhenshi snorted for a long time before he quibbled.

"Okay, if you want to fight, you can chase after you, I think they shouldn't have gone far yet." Rui Gong glanced at him and said.

"Di Qingchuan, don't stop me, let me go, I Ke Zhenshi don't know what it means to be afraid." Ke Zhenshi immediately stopped doing it after hearing this, and grabbed Di Qingchuan's hand and shouted.

"I ...... I didn't stop you. Di Qingchuan saw that the fox Sang Rui was looking at them, and immediately said to Ke Zhenshi with a red face.

Hu Sang didn't pay attention to Ke Zhenshi's noise, and continued, "Although those earth moles are of low rank, they have formed special ethnic habits because of long-term battles, that is, they generally don't come back a second time when they have walked once, and now that they have left, I think it should be safe here now, we might as well take this opportunity to rest nearby for a while, after all, it is still far from the Lingwu Secret Realm." Husang suggested.

"Okay, I happen to be tired too." Hearing this, Ke Zhenshi let go of Di Qingchuan.

The three teenagers also felt a little tired after walking under the high tension of their nerves for so long, and when they heard Husang say this, they all agreed to rest first.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the reckless forest, and with a little light, everyone found a place with a flat ground to sit down. At this time, strange birds are constantly calling in the deep mountains, and the night wind blows through the leaves, making a slight collision sound. The ground was full of light and shadow, and several teenagers sat looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Ahem, I said." Ke Zhenshi rubbed his hands, broke the silence and said to everyone, "Don't you feel a little cold? ”

"Yes...... Yes...... Dot. I don't know if it's because of the cold or fear, Di Qingchuan's words became more and more indistinct.

"It's such a weak chicken, I don't even feel anything." Fox Sang smiled with a sense of superiority, and at this time he leaned against a tree, nine fluffy white tails wagging around behind him, two hind legs on each other, and a stalk of grass from nowhere in his mouth, indescribably comfortable.

"Hey, Fox-san." Ke Zhenshi shouted.

"What?" Hu Sang glanced at Ke Zhenshi.

"You lend me a blanket." Ke Zhenshi Thief grinned.

"Blankets?!" Fox Sang's brain was short-circuited for a while, and he didn't know what he meant.

"Poof!" Rui Gong couldn't help but laugh, "If I'm not mistaken, he's talking about your tail." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Hu Sang's eyes rolled, but he was not annoyed, and beckoned to Ke Zhenshi. "Hey, come here."

"Me?" Ke Zhenshi pointed at himself, and after seeing Hu Sang nodding his head with a serious face, Ke Zhenshi felt a little hairy in his heart, and immediately waved his hand. "I'm not going, I think it's good here."

"Blanket you." Fox Mulberry Road.

"I won't cover it, you can build it yourself!" Ke Zhenshi sternly refused.

"Cut, coward!" Husang pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth returned to a smile, like a general who had just finished a victorious battle.

"Hey, I said, are you going to spend the night in the dark tonight? Isn't it time to light a campfire in the jungle at night? "Rui Gong said." It's like last night. ”

"I want to, but I won't, I don't have spiritual power." Husang shook his head and said, and glanced at Ke Zhenshi after speaking.

Ke Zhenshi hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't look at me, I won't either, we all use electronic stoves at home, and there is no equipment here." But I couldn't help muttering in my heart, this matter of making a fire and cooking is also related to spiritual power, could it be that spiritual power is also a new energy source?

Di Qingchuan said sneeringly, "I used to accompany ...... Accompany the uncle in the village in the ...... Spend the night in the mountains and they will make a fire......"

"They will or you won." Ke Zhenshi scolded him.

"Okay, you won't just say a few words," Rui Gong glared at Ke Zhenshi, and then said to Di Qingchuan, "Then do you remember how to make a fire?" Maybe we can try. ”

"This ......" Di Qingchuan wanted to refuse, but when he saw that everyone else was looking at him with blazing eyes, he couldn't help but hesitate, remembering that it didn't seem to be difficult for others to make fires before, so he changed his words, "Okay, I'...... I'll try. ”

"Well, what do you need us to do directly, you're welcome!" Ke Zhenshi smiled and encouraged, revealing two big white teeth.

"You need branches, stems...... Dry, there should be coarse and fine, and ...... There is also a Mao ...... Thatch. Di Qingchuan said while remembering what he had seen before.

"Okay, then we'll go find some dry wood and firewood." After Rui Gong finished speaking, he got up and kicked Ke Zhenshi, at this time he squeezed next to Husang, pulled one of Husang's tails and held it in his arms and didn't let go.

Ke Zhenshi glanced at Rui Gong, and under her stern gaze, he reluctantly got up, and then Husang was instructed by Rui Gong to supervise him on the side.

Several people collected some dry firewood in the nearby jungle and sent it to Di Qingchuan one after another, and a small firewood pile on the flat ground gradually took shape.

"Good...... Well, almost. Di Qingchuan looked at the firewood in front of him and motioned for a few people to stop. Then he rummaged through the firewood and found a large dry log and placed it across the bottom of his feet, and in the middle of the wood there was a groove that had been broken off by the scar on the tree's branches. Di Qingchuan compared the size of the groove with his hand, found a piece of wood with a relatively thin tip, and polished the front end with a stone, just enough to put the front end of the wood in the groove and rub it.

Then Di Qingchuan hugged the hay in front of him, thought about it for a while, and after feeling that everything was ready, he grabbed the middle of the fine wood in his hand, spit twice into the palm of his hand, and began to rub it seriously.

"Sneer, sneer......"

The repetitive and monotonous sound of wood grinding immediately sounded, and the sound seemed to have a magical power, making everyone feel that the other sounds in the jungle had become quieter.

Unlike what several teenagers imagined, the real operation of drilling wood to make fire can almost make people collapse, the repetitive and mechanical movements made Di Qingchuan's arms sore, and some sweat gradually appeared on his head, making him forget the coldness just now.

"If this is given to me, it will not be able to drill fire." Ke Zhenshi sighed and said boredly.

With Di Qingchuan's movements, there were more and more broken wood chips on the thick wood, the front end of the fine wood became charred black because of the long-term friction, and a trace of smoke gradually began to appear at the place where the wood was handed over, there were more and more wood chips, and the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, Di Qingchuan wiped the sweat on his forehead from time to time. Rui Gong squatted beside him, because he didn't know how to help, and he didn't want to express his emotions excessively, so he could only silently shout and cheer for him in his heart.

Di Qingchuan looked at the place where the smoke was rising, and many black sawdust gathered together with the movement, and then a spark suddenly rose from nothing, and the spark fell into the sawdust again.

"Whew-" Like a spark falling into gasoline, the sawdust ignited in an instant. When Di Qingchuan saw the flames, he immediately threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and hurriedly piled the hay on the small flames, and as the blades of grass burned, the flames gradually became larger, and then he found some very thin branches, put them on the burning grass pile, and went down in turn, until the thicker wood was also ignited, and a vigorous bonfire finally rose in front of everyone.

"Wow, that's good." Hu Sang looked at the bonfire in front of him, and jumped up excitedly, "It turns out that you can really make a fire without spiritual power, Di Qingchuan, you can really do it, let me see the magic of human beings!" Husang exclaimed.

"Di Qingchuan, I haven't seen you have any skills in normal times, this time give us a big surprise!" Ke Zhenshi ran over and sat down by the bonfire, sat down next to Di Qingchuan, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder exaggeratedly.

"No, no, no, hehe." Di Qingchuan wanted to be modest, but he was very happy at the moment, and he laughed before he finished his modest words.

Husang looked at the bonfire and said happily, "I have only seen in books about the various magical places that record human beings before, but today I saw that it was like this, obviously there is no spiritual power, but I can do what only spiritual power can do!" ”

It was the first time for Rui Gong to see Di Qingchuan smiling so happily, but at the same time, she also thought of more, "Actually, many things are the same as this, if we don't try, how do we know that we won't succeed, since we try, we must persevere, because there will always be a result, right?" ”

Rui Gong's eyes gradually became firm, as if some problem that had been bothering her since one had been figured out.

"Hahahaha......" Ke Zhenshi's exaggerated laughter interrupted Rui Gong's contemplation, the corners of Rui Gong's mouth curved, and the little boy in front of him seemed to never see decadence in him.

"By the way, Husang, I heard you say that there are no humans in this world, only elves, where did you know about human beings?" Rui Gong remembered that Husang had mentioned humans just now, and couldn't help asking.

"Well...... Actually, I read in an ancient book, which describes many creatures with similar shapes to you, who are said to extract elements from earth and stone, make weapons that can explode and emine, extract and weave gorgeous garments from plant and animal materials, and use everything they can to create conditions for their lives. Oh yes, the most important thing in the book is that they don't have spiritual powers, just like you. That's why I recognized you as human at a glance. After Hu Sang finished speaking, he raised his chin lightly, and the pride in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

Rui Gong looked at him with amusement, remembering the spiritual power he had avoided talking about before, and said half-intentionally and half-curiously, "Is it so important in your world whether living beings have spiritual power or not?" ”

"Hey, spiritual power." Sure enough, when it came to this topic, Husang immediately deflated, scratched his head in frustration, stared at the bonfire with his eyes, and said in a muffled voice for a while, "Hey, how can it not be important?" In our world, spiritual power can be said to be the second life of living beings, which represents the evolutionary level, strength, wisdom, and power of living beings. It can be said that with spiritual power, you have a pass to this world, without spiritual power, you have to hide from everyone you see, without spiritual power, what is the difference between intellectual disability and intellectual disability. ”

In the end, Hu Sang seemed to have lost his strength, and even his smart eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul.
