Chapter 22: Conflict I
The province where Liuyuan City is located is the province with the second largest forest coverage in China, and more than half of the province is forested. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the aftermath of the disaster, not only did animals mutate in order to adapt to the environment, but even plants began to mutate.
In just a dozen years, small trees have become big trees, and big trees have become towering giant trees. What was originally an ordinary forest has become like a primeval forest in the blink of an eye.
The changes in the forest have become a breeding ground for a variety of animals, which were on the verge of extinction before the catastrophe, and have not only escaped the existential crisis, but also allowed the race to flourish.
The increase of various animals and the appearance of magical beasts have made all forests dangerous.
Some say it's nature's revenge for man's destruction of nature, while others say it's the earth's self-healing.
All kinds of remarks, there are many opinions. All prove one thing, compared to before the disaster, human beings are not better off.
On the avenue leading to Meiling City, Xiao Nai was held by Queen Lin and rode on a horse.
The sky was blank, and the sun was obscured. The weather is foggy, and the surrounding mountains and forests are also surrounded by fog, which gives the surrounding mountains and forests an ethereal beauty. From time to time, a cool breeze blows from the mountain stream, which makes people feel refreshed.
If there's one thing that benefits after the disaster, it's that the air is much cleaner than it used to be. Looking at the tree-lined forests on both sides of the avenue, Xiao Nai had a rush of excitement in his eyes.
With leaving Liuyuan City, Xiao Nai's sadness of leaving home slowly dispersed. I began to look at the scenery along the road with excitement.
Before and after its rebirth, it lived in Liuyuan for sixteen years, leaving Liuyuan for the first time to contact the outside world. So for that, it's excited.
In the aftermath of the disaster, there were many armed conflicts in China. Therefore, compared to the city, the road outside is a little broken, and there are potholes and cobweb-like cracks in many places along the road.
It's just that now it's not as good as before the disaster, and the Huaxia government doesn't have the financial resources to fix these at all, as long as it doesn't affect traffic, it will let it go.
On both sides of the highway, there are many cement electric columns standing crookedly, as if to prove that human beings had a brilliant electric civilization before the disaster.
Meow!
Xiao Nai made an excited appearance about the outside world, but the real reason was to distract himself.
As for why? Of course, it was because it was being held intimately in the arms of Queen Lin, and it began to resist and not let her hold it, but it was quickly suppressed by Queen Lin.
Meow!
For the first time since its birth, it has been so intimate with a woman other than its mother.
Although I kept chanting a mantra in my heart: It's a cat, so it's normal.
But who can tell Ben Meow why its heart is so happy and makes it feel so hot with a cat face.
"Captain, there's a makeshift camp ahead, it looks like it's those caravans transporting goods, should we camp here to rest?"
The rat that was running at the front on horseback stopped and shouted at Xiang.
The rat's ability is related to his eyes, and his eyesight is arguably the best in the entire Demon Hunter Squad. So he often walks in front, and nothing in the distance can escape his eyes.
Lin Fengyao looked at the already dark sky, raised her hand to look at the mechanical watch in her hand, and couldn't help nodding. Although they are hunters who have long been accustomed to being in the wilderness, stationing in a crowded place can still reduce some unnecessary trouble.
Such as beast attacks, robber robberies and the like. In this day and age, it is not safe to leave the place where people live, no matter where they are.
Ordinary people are killed on the road, thrown into the forest, and buried without burying them, to ensure that no one knows, this is not the era of advanced information before the disaster.
I hadn't gone far before I saw smoke rising. Rows of makeshift tents are set up on a clearing on the side of the road.
Around the tent, many people were busy making fires and cooking, and next to them were horse-drawn carts and ox carts loaded with goods.
The arrival of Xiao Nai and his party made many people in the camp very nervous, and some people even looked at them with guns. In this wilderness, everyone is careful, because anything can happen.
"We're hunters of the Hunters' Guild, and it's getting late, so we're going to rest here for the night."
The fat man stepped forward and shouted to the men. Although I am not afraid of those people, it is good to go out and have less trouble.
When the men saw that they were armed and that each of them was riding a horse, they knew that they were not to be messed with.
After hearing that they were hunters, and seeing that they just wanted to rest here, I was not so nervous. It is not uncommon for these caravans to go out and rest with others.
An older man in a suit stood up and exchanged a few words with the fat man, and the fat man came back and made an OK gesture to them.
Then they were stationed not far from the caravans, and they did not come close to the caravans. They will not even know it, but they will all be wary.
Swish!
Before the horse stopped, Xiao Nai hurriedly broke free from Queen Lin's arms and jumped off the horse. Although the queen is beautiful, Ben Meow stays weirdly in her arms and feels uncomfortable.
Meow!
The air in this place is so good, it's cool, and it feels very comfortable after inhaling. Then it ran around happily, and was hugged by Queen Lin for so long that its body was a little numb, and it had to move.
Lin Fengyao didn't care about Xiao Nai's break-free, turned over and dismounted and began to set up a temporary resting place with others.
"Captain, do you want to go to the mountains to hunt some prey?"
The fat man smelled the smell of meat in the distance, and he was a little greedy. They only brought some dry food and traveled lightly, which was much more rudimentary compared to the caravan.
Queen Lin didn't speak, just glanced at him coldly with her eyes, and then didn't say anything. This fat man is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is very afraid of Queen Lin.
But think about it, Queen Lin is a BOOS-level character. This demon hunting team is not equipped with unique skills and is unruly, but they are all afraid of Queen Lin.
Meow!
Xiao Nai heard the fat man's words in the distance, and he also felt hungry. Smelling the smell of meat wafting in the distance, he couldn't help but salivate.
Meow's!
Fortunately, the fat man gave it a bag of monster meat to eat at that time, otherwise he would have starved to death if he was taken by Queen Lin like this.
Looking at the busy crowd, it can't help but feel bored.
Belch!
Suddenly, it saw a white shadow appear in the grass in the distance, and its eyes lit up. Is it prey? It lurked cautiously.
The movements of the body are very careful, for fear that the prey will be scared away.
Closer, part of the white shadow's body was already revealed. Just as Xiao Nai was about to rush over, the white shadow crawled out of the grass.
Meow!
The white shadow turned out to be a white Persian cat, and when the cat saw Xiao Nai behind him, he immediately let out an angry roar.
Meow's!
After seeing that it was a cat, Xiao Nai was not interested. Especially after seeing a dead mouse under the paw of the white cat, it glanced at the cat with disdain, and really didn't pursue it! Also eat mice.
After losing interest, Xiao Nai reverted to his lazy form and turned to leave.
But its retreat made the white cat think that Xiao Nai was easy to bully, and when it left, it exposed its back to the white cat, which immediately triggered the white cat's instinct to ambush. The white cat's face immediately turned fierce, and its body suddenly moved, and it pounced on Xiao Nai.
Although the white cat had a good timing, Xiao Nai was not an ordinary cat, how could he be ambushed by this ordinary cat. Although it seems defenseless, it has not let its guard down on its surroundings. As soon as the white cat moved, it was already sensed by Xiao Nai after pounced on it.
Xiao Nai didn't look back, just shook his beard, and the tail it was facing immediately turned into a snake tail. Then the snake's tail grew longer and turned into a long whip, which was whipped at the white cat.
In the process of galloping, the white cat didn't have time to react, only felt a trance of the shadow in front of him, and was immediately pulled out.
Meow!
A miserable cat meow sounded immediately, and Xiao Nai was ruthless in order to teach the white cat who dared to provoke it a lesson. Although it didn't take all its strength, it was definitely not comfortable for this ordinary cat.
The miserable cry of the white cat immediately attracted the attention of the people around her, and in the caravan camp, a beautiful girl in a floral dress suddenly ran towards her, shouting as she ran:
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"
When the white cat saw that his master was coming, he screamed even more vigorously, and his voice made the girl's face look distressed and her heart broken.
Xiao Nai couldn't help but be speechless when he heard the miserable cry. Don't exaggerate, Ben Meow didn't use much force, and he was sure that the white cat was slightly injured at most. This guy is so miserable, he must want to make that girl feel distressed.
Sure enough, the girl was fooled. What kind of owner there is, what kind of cat there is, stupid and delicate.
At that moment, the girl looked up and saw a black cat in the grass not far away. I intuitively thought that this was the cat who hurt Xiaobai's murderer, and I wanted to scold when I opened my mouth with angry eyes.
But before he could scold, his face turned from anger to horror. It's like changing faces, and I change my expression in an instant.
Her pretty face was pale, her whole body was terrified, and she shouted loudly in a nice but sharp voice:
"Warcraft, there are Warcraft! Help ......"
Xiao Nai was speechless about this, girl, is it necessary to exaggerate so much? Ben Meow doesn't eat people.
"Where are the monsters?" Immediately, some guards with shotguns rushed out of the caravan, and when they rushed to the girl's side, they saw the black cat looking at them with a sneering face. After seeing the three tails behind the black cat, he immediately understood that this was the demonic beast that their young lady was talking about, and hurriedly raised his gun to point at Xiao Nai.
It was pointed at gunpoint, instinctively terrified. A dangerous aura enveloped it, making it dare not move for a while. I'm afraid that if I move, the gun will go off.
Then, a trace of anger flashed in Xiao Nai's eyes, it was unforgivable that these guys wanted to shoot Ben Meow indiscriminately.
Although it is pointed at gunpoint, it is not afraid, and for these ordinary people, it has many ways to get out of danger and make them pay.
Just as Xiao Nai was about to make a move, a figure flashed next to him, and a person immediately appeared next to him. When the man appeared, he said with a cold face:
"What do you want to do! Want to go to war against us? ”
It turned out to be a fat man, and after making a noise here, it naturally alarmed Lin Fengyao and them. When the fat man saw that someone dared to raise a gun towards Xiao Nai, he was immediately angry, and appeared here in an instant. And it didn't take long for the gray wolf to rush over, and if there was something wrong, he would start a war.
