Chapter 49: Mutual Intrusion

The two of them continued to stand patiently and silently for a long time, and then quietly slipped down from the tree and returned to the hiding place they had chosen earlier, on the top of a towering tree. The two alternated vigils, taking turns resting until dawn.

At dawn, the eldest young master Ivan was woken up by the sound of birds, and the sound of chirping one after another, disturbing people's dreams, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to squint for a while, which made him very impatient, shook his drowsy head, and decided to put solving breakfast in the first place of the task.

His throat was dry and astringent, the corners of his mouth began to bubble, and he was worried in the second half of the night, accompanied by the double torture of cold and hunger, and he didn't dare to sleep peacefully. In this state, he was arrogant and had to choose to bow to reality and take care of his hungry self first.

The hunt was much easier during the day, and an unfortunate hare fell victim to the anger of the Commander-in-Chief of the City Guard, and when the necessary procedures for slaughtering, skinning, and cleaning had been hastily completed, Ivan Stipild sat down on a stone, turned the branch in his hand, and roasted the hare on top of it, and fell on the bonfire with a "squeak".

Not far from him, there is a crystal clear stream, combined with the hare that is being barbecued, barely there is water and meat, the stomach of the eldest young master Ivan is "gurgling", the uncomfortable hunger seems to be more obvious, he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes stared directly at the rabbit that gradually exuded the smell of barbecue, extremely focused.

It can make the noble commander look like this for the food monkey who has not yet been able to eat, which proves that he is really hungry and panicked.

The process of barbecue was almost unbearable, and when the prey was finally cooked, the commander of the city guard happily lifted the tree, regardless of whether the steaming rabbit meat would burn his mouth, and aimed at the fat rabbit meat and gnawed it down!

Even if there is no condiment, the stone under the buttocks is hard and cold, far from being comfortable, but in the eyes of Master Ivan, who missed the sumptuous dinner and starved for a whole night, the roast rabbit meat that is about to arrive at this moment is the most delicious food in the world.

It's a pity that his food journey was forced to stay at the step of "about to", just biting into the rabbit meat, and before the commander of the city guard army could bite down on a large mouthful of rabbit meat as planned, and fully feel the rich meat aroma and texture to fill the taste of his mouth and stomach, the joy in his eyes instantly changed into anger mixed with horror, and he quickly leaned back.

A black glow brushed against Ivan Stipild's cheek, and it was very thrilling.

When the crossbow bolt submerged into the trunk of a big tree not far away, the sound of the "whoosh" crossbow arrow breaking through the air was delayed into the ears, and the speed of the arrow could be imagined.

Immediately afterward, the commander of the city guard, who had dodged the dark arrow, picked up the long knife leaning on the edge of the stone, and aimed it at another white light that was slightly arcing and slashed.

The white light snapped into two parts, and flew to both sides respectively, and the second calculated feather arrow was finally blocked by the commander of the city guard who pulled out his weapon in time.

"Venerable Commander Ivan, happy dining!"

Normer's voice sounded from the mountain in front of him, and then the figures of the boy and the dawn appeared, waving at him with a smile on his face, and his tone was as kind as greeting a close friend, and then turned to leave, his posture was calm, and his back was free.

The whole process is completely disregarding the feelings of the other person.

Ivan Stipild stared at the direction the two had left with a dark face, his teeth creaking and his hand holding the knife trembling.

Similar to last night, the straight-line distance between the two sides is not far, but it is still separated by a small valley, a small valley with dense vegetation, and he wants to find the two of them for revenge, and he lacks long-range attack weapons, so he can only cross it on foot, which seems not to be difficult, but it is quite difficult to implement.

By the time he tried to catch up with the other side, the daylilies were already cold.

What is this, this, what is this? Isn't this a living example of the art of war, "disturbing the enemy's food and sleep, and forcing him to defeat before fighting"?

It's just that today, the party who was ravaged by this tactic and was tortured to a cold and helpless side was replaced by a self who had a lot of experience when he talked about the art of war on weekdays.

The commander of the city guard gritted his teeth and looked down at the ground, and on the dirt at his feet, there was a whole fragrant roast rabbit, gray-black mud, inevitably stained with a lot of rabbit meat, grinning rabbit mouth full of evil smiles, as if asking him a serious question.

Dirty rabbit meat, should you eat it or not?

Ivan Stipild was so angry that his nose was crooked, and tears of grievance filled his eyes, almost oozing out of the corners of his eyes, and he raised his war knife high and let out a long, heart-rending howl!

It's too much of a bully! If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man!

The two teenagers calculated his dead, long-shot crossbow arrows, and longbows that were good at parabolic shooting, arrived almost synchronously one after the other, and sealed the front and rear sides of him, the crossbow arrows in front of him came too fast, and in the case of holding food in hand, it was always easier for people to lean back than to fall forward, so he naturally chose to lean back quickly, followed by the feather arrows behind him to further block the space he avoided, either by the feather arrows pierced the throat, or could only pull out the long knife in desperation,

However, according to the habit of eating, he held the tree with his right hand that he was accustomed to every day, so he was very sad, and the tree girl wearing a roast rabbit for a satisfying stomach was thrown to the ground by the young master Ivan, who was eager to survive!

That is to say, whether it is the first step of his subconscious reaction, or the second step of emergency measures taken when there is no room for choice, all kinds of contingency possibilities are expected by the enemy in the morning, and he will be eaten to death, and there is no room for movement and resistance.

After the roar, the grief-stricken commander of the city guard army was red-eyed, bent down to pick up the roast rabbit, quickly tore off the surface of the rabbit stained with mud in three times and two times, and hid behind a bigger stone as if flying, and gnawed the rabbit meat in embarrassment!

During the period, its movements were swift and incoherent, concise and effective, compared to the senior beggars who grabbed food on the street, absolutely not too much, this move is easy to misunderstand, the noble commander of the city guard, has been out of "sympathy for the people, deep into the grassroots" considerations, in the slums of Manchester City or among the beggars for a long time, otherwise it is difficult to explain, the action of the hungry dog snatching is so skillful, full of natural rhythm.

It's better to fill your stomach than anything else, and if you don't keep a few more minds, it will be even less cost-effective if the enemy who is killed back with a rifle shoots down the roast rabbit in his hand for the second time.

The young master of Manny Foster City, who has always been above the top, was forced to lower his posture again and learn to be a little more obedient.

Normer and Dawn, who were running in the distance, couldn't help but laugh as they ran, and Ivan Stipild's indignant wolf howl fell on their ears, which undoubtedly represented the declaration of the defeated dog, and the louder they barked, the more they could not do anything, and from their side, how pleasant the roar was, and it was very pleasant.

The great commander Ivan, who was puffing out his cheeks and gobbling up, suddenly had a stir: everyone has to eat and sleep, and since the enemy is trying to force me to retreat on my own by constantly harassing and interrupting the process of eating and sleeping, why can't I treat others in the same way?

There was still a hint of crimson on the corner of his mouth, and Grand Commander Ivan raised his head, staring at the direction of Normer's departure with blazing eyes, and laughed.

The cooking smoke reveals its position, but the reason is the same, unless the enemy does not light a fire to eat cooked food, otherwise as long as the fire is lit to barbecue the prey, there will definitely be cooking smoke, and it will inevitably be the same to expose his whereabouts.

Commander Ivan smiled happily, and his laughter became more and more crazy, obviously his strength was much higher than the two, but he had been firmly suppressed by them for so long, and he was miserable, and at this moment he had finally found a way to deal with the two, how could he not be overjoyed? So he looked like a mad dog, squatting behind the stone, burying his head and gnawing on the rabbit meat, which originally lacked the assistance of condiments, the hare was full of smell, and his cooking time was not at home, and the rabbit meat was either too cooked or sandwiched, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, but it became much more delicious.

Soon after, on a distant hill, white smoke rose almost in a straight line into the air, until it was above the top of the dense forest, and was gradually blown away by the breeze, but under the sunlight, the white smoke was like a striking sign to mark the specific location of the enemy.

Sure enough, the two young men who had succeeded in attacking many times began to relax their vigilance and get carried away to make a fire to barbecue their prey. The facts proved the correctness of Grand Commander Ivan's previous judgment, and he smiled triumphantly in the direction of the cooking smoke, and set off to touch it.

The long knife had just been washed in the stream, and it was clean and smooth, so it must have been able to drink the blood of the enemy.

Following the smoke, Ivan Stipild came to the vicinity without incident, he hid behind the rocks, carefully observed the bonfire dozens of meters away, and after a while, even if he hated the two people not far away, he had to admit that Normer and Dawn were indeed worthy of being his enemies.

Compared with the covetous convenience, the location of the picnic next to the water source is different from the commander Ivan, although the two teenagers were careless for a while, made the same low-level mistake as him, and were exposed by the white smoke from the bonfire, but after all, they have rich experience in wild life and know how to set the fire on the top of the mountain, normally speaking, of course, there is no water source on the top of the mountain, and it is very inconvenient to get water, and it is not a suitable place for camping in the wild, but on the premise of avoiding the pursuit of the enemy, the advantage of being able to monitor the movements around at any time and facilitate escape at any time is infinitely magnified。

In addition, after observing for so long, the teenager has been busy preparing for the barbecue alone, and the petite girl is standing aside, holding two swords and looking around, her expression is focused, and she is clearly always on guard against his arrival.

It's impossible to catch them off guard, so wait and see if there's a better chance.

Grand Commander Ivan sighed quietly, resisted the urge to pounce forward, and hibernated, waiting.

The boy began to thread pieces of meat from an unknown animal on the branches, dressing them into skewers, and then turned them around and began to grill them. Grand Commander Ivan stared closely, his right hand clenching the long knife, ready to strike at any moment.

Just as Chenxi turned his head and looked at the meat that was being barbecued, the commander of the city guard jumped out from behind the hiding stone, and the sword light was cold, and rushed towards the two of them!

"He's coming!"

The girl was sharp-eyed and clever, and as soon as the enemy appeared, she immediately noticed the abnormality, shouted loudly, and turned her head to run backwards while warning her, and had no intention of coming forward to engage in battle.

The boy who was sitting on the barbecue jumped up quickly, picked up the long sword and ran, followed the girl to escape from the mountain, and plunged into the dense forest, his movements were swift and decisive, and there was no idea of entanglement.

All that was left was the bonfire that was burning brightly and the skewers that began to sizzle.
