Chapter 1: The First Appearance of the Fierce Spirit: II. The Elves of the Mountains
When I approached Lao Pao's side, Lao Pao was looking aggrieved, he saw me and said, "I really didn't mean it, just now as soon as I got out of the tent where I lived with Li Lili, I saw a shadow burrowing into this tent." I didn't know what it was, so I turned around and grabbed Li Lili's shotgun to strengthen my courage. As soon as I picked up my shotgun, the shadow was emerging from the tent, and I didn't think much of it at the time, so I fired a shot. I didn't mean to attack it, I just wanted to scare it and drive it away. Who knew that this easy shot actually killed it. ”
I asked the old man, "What about that thing?" ”
The old cannon said, "I don't know! I was still here just now, I just went to the lake to wash my hands, then turned around, and when I came back, I was gone. ”
The old cannon said, pointing to the ground in front of him. I saw a pool of blood on the ground, it was so red that it hadn't begun to clot for a long time, and it was obviously different from ordinary animal blood. At this time, Najie was squatting in front of the pool of blood, dipping his fingers in some blood on the ground, putting it under his nose and sniffing it carefully. His brow furrowed, and his face seemed to be covered with frost.
I asked the old man, "What does that thing look like?" ”
The old cannon said, "I didn't look closely, I can't tell." I remember the fluffy lump, the color of the coat is shiny, and it is dazzlingly bright. ”
I said, "You're not going to be stupid, are you?" ”
Li Lili interjected and said, "I've taken a closer look, this thing does look very strange, except for the dazzling white coat, it is not big, its two legs are as long as a frog's legs, and its two arms are surprisingly long. The most surprising thing is the face of this thing, which at first glance looks like a monkey, then looks like a little orangutan, and when you look closely, it is the face of a child, of course, the face of a child who looks extremely ugly. On its forehead, there are upright lines of the word king. ”
Listening to Li Lili's words, Najie stood up. Najie looked at me and said, "This is the most fierce spirit in the mountains, it comes and goes like the wind, and it can knock a bear down with a single palm." In the mountains, as long as it roars, all the tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards become docile lambs. It's just that it never shows up, I don't know how it ended up here today? ”
Li Lili said, "Is this thing so terrible? ”
Najay said, "This elf never provokes humans, but if humans provoke it, it has nothing to resist in retaliation." ”
I said, "Is there anything that can be remedied?" ”
Najay shook his head and said, "No! ”
Li Lili said, "Can we think like this, the old cannon's shot only injured it, but did not kill it." It was just unconscious, and when it woke up, it ran away on its own. If so, it won't get any better for a while. We just need to hurry up and get to the tribe on the other side of the temple, won't we be safe?" ”
Everyone thinks that Li Lili's statement is quite reasonable.
Najie shook his head again, "According to the old people, this elf never acts alone, and travels in pairs. ”
Listening to Najie's words, everyone's hearts were stunned, and no one spoke again. Everyone knows that if this is the case, it means that there is another elf waiting by the side all the time, and the elf who was shot by the old cannon with a gun does not know whether he is dead or alive, but it is all taken away by another elf who is waiting.
At this time, all the people in the investigation team gathered around, and everyone was talking about the next move.
Professor Luo believes that no matter how powerful an animal is, it is only an animal. The master of this world is human beings, and as long as there is preparation, human wisdom will definitely be able to think of a way to deal with it, and there is nothing to fear.
Ruoyu's opinion is that this place is only half a day's journey from the temple anyway, and the big guy is full of energy, and he rushes to the temple first to make plans.
Ruoyu's opinion was recognized by everyone. But Najay disagreed. Najay thought that the tribe guarding the temple knew what was going on here, and might not agree to everyone entering the village. Even if they agreed to let everyone into the village, he couldn't do that. Because if this is the case, the elves of the mountains will be angry with that tribe and bring untold calamity to that tribe in the future.
Everyone understood the meaning of Najie's words, and there was no other way but to retreat. It's just that everyone is obviously unwilling, and a hundred steps have already walked ninety-nine steps, because of such a thing, but they have to give up.
"Now, we have to go back, back to the village and then make plans. The first is that the elves in the mountains have never appeared on the other side of the village, and the second is that when the archmage returns, she will definitely have a solution. ”
At this point, everyone can only follow Najie's arrangement. Najie asked everyone to pack their bags as quickly as possible, not to be left alone on the road, and to rush back to the village in the evening.
Everyone quickly packed up and embarked on the retreat. Fortunately, after a night's rest, Kuroko has fully recovered, so that the entire expedition team has no fetters.
After I got on the road, I wanted my sister to follow me every step of the way. Ah Mei understood what I meant and grabbed my hand tightly.
Along the way, everyone didn't say anything, just walked silently behind Najie. An unknown fear always hung over everyone's hearts, so that everyone had no other intentions, but tried to follow the rhythm of Najie's steps as much as possible, struggling to move forward.
Everyone walked all the way, and at noon, they reached the meadow where they had camped two days ago. Nothing happened along the way, and everyone finally let out a long breath. Everyone didn't expect to walk so fast, and it seems that in a given environment, people have a lot of potential.
On the grass, Ruoyu suggested that everyone take a break, eat some dry food, rest and rest, add some energy, and recover their strength. After all, running all the way and non-stop, the consumption of everyone's body is indeed very large. If you don't adjust quickly, in case of an emergency, I'm afraid that you won't need to fight back, and you'll lie down first.
Ruoyu is telling the truth, if it weren't for the pressure to hold it in one breath, I'm afraid someone would have already fallen down. Najie watched everyone look more and more embarrassed, agreed to Ruoyu's proposal, and asked everyone to stop and rest at a high place in the grass, with a wide field of vision.
As soon as they stopped, everyone lay on the grass in a staggered manner.
"If I don't stop," said Ash, "I'm going to die on the road." ”
The old cannon said, "Now, have you escaped from that thing's control?" Will it come after it again? ”
Li Lili said, "Anyway, I can't run anymore, it loves to chase and can't chase." It's a big deal to let it slap me to death, and if you want to retaliate, you can retaliate against me. ”
