Chapter Twenty-Eight: Back Mountain
(On the second day of the Lunar New Year, after a day off, continue to unswervingly canvass, ~\(≧▽≦)/~) ......
In autumn, the vegetation changes rapidly in the mountains.
Half a month ago, when Rayong was looking for the rat trap, there was still a green grass at the foot of the back mountain, and the mountain was also lush and lush, with deep and light shades of green decorating the hills, and there was no autumn at all.
Now, only half a month has passed, and it seems like a change of season on the mountain. At first glance, although most of it is still green, there is always a cluster of yellow or red mixed in, which dots the hills with colorful colors, and it is even more autumnal.
Even the weeds under their feet are mostly trimmed with yellow, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they turn yellow and dry up completely.
Rayong has a small basket tied around his waist, which contains Xiao Cui, and a large rattan basket on his back, which contains a small radish shrunken into a ball, and a few green leaves are exposed, not like entering the mountains, but with a feeling of returning with a full load.
Compared with Xiao Luo, Xiao Cui's attack, he values its paralyzing toxicity more, and as for the attack power, it is not very important. Therefore, today's Xiao Cui, the attack range has increased significantly, and the toxicity has also increased a lot, but the size has not increased much.
In addition to Xiao Cui and Xiao Luo, he also held a machete made of special steel in his hand.
This mountain is rarely visited by people, and only when it is hunting in autumn every year, people will come in. This year's autumn hunting time has not yet arrived, and after a year of growth, the original road has long been lost, and sometimes the road has to be opened with a knife.
Especially at the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of small bushes, and at this moment, Rayong has already swung his knife three times in a row, and cut out a path.
He had been practicing the new technique for the past two days, and the "low-level healing technique" only had twenty-ninety-eight finger techniques, which was relatively easy, and after two days of familiarization, he was barely able to use it. The other technique, "Battle Amplification", was a little more complicated, with three hundred and twenty-seven fingers, and he was ready to practice it after the "low-level healing technique" was completely proficient.
In addition to the spells, when patrolling the farm, I also have to practice the "Phantom Step", but unfortunately after practicing for half a month, I only touched a little bit of the skin, and the difficulty is much more than the spell. However, given that the "Phantom Step" is an escape skill, the difficulty is normal, and it is a big deal to increase the cultivation time.
When he first cultivated the Grass and Trees Divine Power, it was even more difficult than this, and he persevered, but it was just a few more times. When you master the "Phantom Step", where else can you go?
If you go up the mountain today, you can try the effect of the "low-level healing technique". He still remembers the tragic situation of the rat trap vine before, and if he could have been cured at that time, the rat trap vine would not have died.
Cutting all the way, walking all the way, before you know it, you have crossed the foot of the mountain, and not much more than the mountainside. The trees here are denser than at the foot of the mountain, but because there are fewer small shrubs, it is much easier to walk, and machetes are hardly needed.
The mountains are high and densely forested, the vision is dim, the feet are soft fallen leaves, the sun is barely visible when you look up, and occasionally a beam of light shines into the forest through the branches, as if carrying infinite hope.
The sound of gurgling water echoed in my ears, and I looked around, but I couldn't see the shadow of the stream.
The spiritual sense swept over, only to find that on the ground one meter away, there was a slender stream of water flowing quietly, but it was covered by dead branches and rotten leaves, and no trace could be found.
Countless unknown small beetles burrow through the dead branches and leaves, looking for food to satisfy their hunger. The slender insect feet rubbed against the leaves, making a slight sound of a sneer, but in Rayong's ears, it was magnified several times and became extremely clear.
Suddenly, Rayong's spiritual sense moved, and his figure flashed violently, dodging the beetles falling from the trees.
The unknown beetle fell to the ground, stayed for a while, and then crawled to the other side as if nothing had happened, as if it had not received the slightest damage.
Rayong couldn't help but be speechless.
Just now, his spiritual sense spread out, and he happened to find two wild dendrobiums on the tree, and he was about to find a way to get them down, and go back to dry them and make soup to drink. Unexpectedly, the beetle just fell, which startled him.
The climate in this area of their house is cold, and wild dendrobium is rare. This thing is a rare high-end medicinal material, which is suitable for my mother. Dendrobium is almost extinct in the wild on Earth, that is, in the green starfish, and can still be found occasionally.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there may be other medicinal herbs, but unfortunately he doesn't know them.
After taking Xiao Luo out of the basket and communicating with her spiritual sense, Xiao Luo's two vines snaked up the branches to the side of the dendrobium.
The order was a bit complicated, and it was a little difficult to understand with Xiao Luo's IQ, and it took a lot of trouble to get one of the dendrobiums down.
As for the other one, stay here and come back in a few months, and you can pick it again. Fishing in the dry water is not his style.
This is just a small episode, and his main task today is still hunting.
There is a litter of wild boars on this mountain. Because every autumn, several nearby farms organize autumn hunts, resulting in the number of wild boars never going up. He remembers that at the end of the hunt last autumn, there was a large boar, two and a half large female wild boars, and three or four newly weaned piglets on the mountain.
He came today with the idea of these wild boars.
In front of me is a broken rock, and behind the rock is a stone wall, which is covered with blue-green stone moss, and there are many green ferns growing in the crevices.
This place is one of the favorite nests of wild boars. In three out of ten years, a litter of wild boars can be found here.
He was lucky today.
Behind the broken mountain rock, in a stone cave more than one meter deep, there is a litter of piglets, the black and white stripes look inconspicuous, but it is difficult to escape Rayong's spiritual sense. Count, there are about five.
The sow is not here, probably out to forage for food, just in time to set up a trap.
said that it was a trap, but in fact, it was just a place to find a place, put Xiaoluo away, and then hide the basket, and it was over.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Hum ~ Hum ~ "
A low boar roar came from the woods on the left, and Rayong instantly narrowed his eyes, and his fierce eyes swept towards the woods on the left.
In just a few breaths, a behemoth broke into the range of his spiritual sense.
The behemoth was nearly two meters long, with a height of one and a half meters on its back, and its body was covered in dried silt like iron armor, with only a few places revealing gray-black fur. A pair of small black eyes flickered, cautiously looking around, the protruding nose shrugged up and down, sniffing the surrounding breath.
Suddenly.
Its pace stopped abruptly, its ears erected instantly, its two forefeet stretched to the side, and its eyes cautiously surveyed the hole as if it might run away at any moment.
Rayong knew that it had discovered him. If he just stood still, he was afraid that the mother boar would run away as if he had met by chance, and then come back after he left. This situation has been encountered a lot in the past during autumn hunting.
However, female wild boars are actually very easy to deal with.
He lifted his legs and took a few steps forward, approaching the nest of the female boar. Inside, five young piglets who have not yet been weaned, snuggled up to each other in a daze, not knowing that danger was approaching.
Seeing this, the female boar became extremely vigilant, turned her forefoot back, her head straight in the direction of Rayong, her body lowered, her two small eyes shimmered, and she stared at him tightly, and her mouth let out a menacing howl.
Rayong continued to approach without paying attention.
"Whew~"
Driven by the instinct of the child, the female wild boar's eyes were instantly bloodshot, her head was lowered, her four hooves stepped violently on the ground, and she rushed towards Rayong without moving, and the dead branches and leaves were flying everywhere in a fierce manner.
The huge body jumped vertically, crossed a distance of three meters, and put its feet on the ground, feeling that the whole ground seemed to tremble, and its sound rumbled and was amazing.
In the spiritual sense, the female boar's every move was at a glance, and Rayong made a wrong step, unhurried, and left his original position.
"Bang!"
The wild boar hit the stone wall headlong, rubbing off a large piece of green stone moss, and the thick forehead with rough skin and flesh also rubbed out a bloody mark.
It just shook its head, then turned around casually, its red eyes shining fiercely, and continued to roar at Rayong.
This time, the distance is extremely close.
At this distance, the boar did not have enough time to accelerate and could only charge hard with its huge body, and Rayong did not have enough time to dodge.
But is that really the case?
"Boom!"
The wild boar's hind hooves stepped on the stone wall, and its whole body was like thunder, rushing towards Rayong like a cannonball, with an astonishing momentum.
Two meters, one meter......
Seeing that the wild boar was about to rush at him, it seemed that the next moment, he would be hit by the wild boar and his blood would fly.
Rayong seemed to be frightened, and stood motionless.
"Bang!"
The expected tragedy did not happen, and the wild boar went straight through his body and crashed headfirst into the tree behind him. The trunk of the tree, which was more than half a meter in diameter, shook and the leaves fell to the ground.
And Rayong's body suddenly turned into a phantom and slowly dissipated.
Two meters away, Rayong's figure suddenly appeared, stumbled, and tripped himself up, holding on to the trunk of the tree to stabilize his body.
But the "Phantom Step" didn't get home, but after such a moment, it almost didn't control it.
On the other side, the boar was about to turn around and charge again, but the vines in the nearby tree suddenly moved.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
The green vines swept down from the trees like lightning, instantly entangled the boar's hooves, and then pulled upward. The boar's hooves soared into the air, and its huge body suddenly fell and was hung upside down.
"Whew!"
The wild boar screamed in panic and struggled violently on all fours, but still did not break free.
The green vines wrapped tightly around the boar's trotters, and the other end wrapped around the trunk, slowly dragging the boar upwards.
The tree shook incessantly, the top half of the trunk tilted over, and the leaves fluttered and fell, as if they were about to lose their support.
"Whoosh!"
Another vine swept in, crawling along the boar's body, around the neck, winding and tightening.
The boar struggled more violently as if sensing the imminence of death, but the neighing sound was choked in the throat by the vines, and it was already shattered by the mouth.
Rayong lifted the machete at his waist and was about to step forward to kill the boar.
At this time, the little piglet in the cave, I don't know if he heard the sound of the sow outside, and stumbled out.
