Chapter Eighty-Seven: Another Chance Encounter
In this place, all of a sudden, only Donghuangpu, a father and son remained.
"Father, Xiaoxue hasn't been away for a long time, and I believe she won't dare to go too deep. She didn't tell me anything more than curiosity about this place, and when she saw that there was nothing but a forest and a swamp, she would definitely come back by herself. ”
Donghuang Yi saw that his father was in a bad mood, so he persuaded him on the side.
"Yes, father, although Xiaoxue doesn't know the severity, she is not stupid and will not joke with her life. ”
Dong Huangjun couldn't help but explain.
Donghuang Pu's anger calmed down a little after the anger just now, and after listening to the words of his two sons, he nodded silently, and then spoke
"Let's go back and wait, I hope she won't make any tricks for me!"
Although the three core members of the royal family did not have much worry about the safety of this princess, what they didn't know was that this princess named Donghuangxue was actually the naughty princess Xiaoxue that Xiaoliu had seen at the beginning.
When she saw Xiaoliu before, her appearance was changed after change, and she had been close to Miao Lanlan since she was a child, and she had already learned some disfigured fur from Miao Lanlan.
Although Miao Lanlan revealed her identity as a princess last time, she forgot to tell Xiao Liu that the girl was disguised, which led Xiao Liu to think that there was more than one daughter of Donghuang Puyi, and the two princesses she had seen were not the same person.
Donghuangxue has loved to sneak out to play since she was a child, and the places she goes to are generally sparsely populated places such as jungles and mountains, this time she pestered Donghuang Puyi to follow, it seems that she has already made up her mind to explore alone.
Therefore, at this time, instead of going around the periphery of the forest as Donghuang Puyi expected, Donghuang Xue only went all the way deep and rushed towards the depths of this dense forest full of demon beasts!
"It's much more exciting and fun than the forest on the outskirts of the Imperial City! Besides, how can it be so scary as they say? Isn't there just some swamp in the forest? How can I get stuck in it if I don't go down? Father is really making a big fuss!"
Donghuangxue was jumping on the tree, and at the same time, she secretly scolded in her heart, it was strange to say that she had not encountered any demon beasts along the way, as if all the demon beasts were deliberately avoiding her.
At this time, Xiao Liu had already killed the second demon beast, this is a small size, but very flexible demon dog, the strength is about four in the human fairyland, Xiao Liu did not use the power of Mo Wu this time, only with the means he mastered, after some fighting, a palm hit the opponent's neck, killing it.
"This wilderness is really a natural testing ground, and if I need to hone myself in the future, I might as well come here for a while. I believe that after I adapt to the environment here, my actual combat ability will definitely be greatly improved!"
After Xiao Liu killed the two demon beasts, he already had a certain ability to adapt here, and he began to continue on the road to find the next prey.
This desolate forest in the north of the country is very vast, although there are more than sixty people in their group, but after they are scattered everywhere, the chance of meeting is not great, originally Xiao Liu was worried that he would encounter other people's plots, but now it seems that he is completely worried.
Here, unless it's shit luck, it's basically impossible to meet other people.
In this case, Xiao Liu began his hunting career, where the distribution of demon beast strength is uneven, and sometimes he will encounter ruthless characters that he can't fight, but all of this has been effectively avoided because of Mo Wu's presence.
So although Xiao Liu is not foolproof here, he is much safer than others.
After about half a day like this, he had successfully hunted the four demon beasts and retrieved their demon cores.
This kind of efficiency is already very fast, and those other people not only need to hunt demon beasts that are weaker than themselves, but also have to avoid powerful demon beasts, in case they encounter an existence that they can't resist.
It's already late at night, and the demon beasts in the forest who like to be very cold have begun to become active, and some insects, snakes, and rats have begun to appear in large numbers, and several times, Xiao Liu almost bumped into a monster much stronger than himself, but in the end, he still relied on Mo Wu's advance warning and the insight of the Demon Breaking Eye to dodge the past.
"Boy, the forest at night is no better than during the day, and even with my help, you will be in great danger. I'm sure others must have chosen to find a hidden place to hibernate and regain their strength and vitality while waiting for the start of the next day. What are you going to do? Are you going to continue hunting monsters, or are you going to find a place to rest?"
After listening to Mo Wu's words, Xiao Liu thought that it was very dangerous for him to act at night, not to mention those others, they definitely didn't know that they were all nesting there now.
"Fifth brother, let's find a place to hide now, if we encounter a weaker demon beast on the way, we might as well clean it up by the way. If you don't encounter it, it's time to rest. ”
After agreeing on the next step, Xiao Liu began to act, although it was pitch black here, it was difficult for him.
After traveling like this for about half an hour, after Xiao Liu killed two small demon beasts of the rat type, he finally found a hole in a thick tree that was large enough to accommodate two or three people.
"Let's take a break here tonight. ”
Xiao Liu dodged into it, this is probably the nest of a certain animal, but it seems that it has not been used for a long time, and the demon beasts and animals that live here also have their own food chains, and they may die in the mouths of other demon beasts one day.
After Xiao Liu tidied up the inside of the cave, Mo Wu suddenly reminded in a whisper
"Someone is coming, you hide and don't make a sound!"
Xiao Liu was shocked when he heard this, because Mo Wu was talking about people, not demon beasts!
At the moment, Xiao Liu didn't care about anything else, and the whole person hid in the hole of the tree and curled up, and showed a pair of eyes to look outside.
Soon, a blue shadow flashed in front of him, and when Xiao Liu just thought that the other party had left, the blue shadow flickered, and the other party actually came back.
"Gee, this is a nice place. Looks like we can make it all together here tonight. Hee-hee, it's the first time I've spent the night in this wilderness, it's really exciting!"
A somewhat familiar woman's voice came from outside the cave, Xiao Liu was stunned, the other party had already drilled in directly, and an orchid-like fragrance came to her nose, the woman obviously didn't know that there were already people in the tree hole, and her whole body was directly attached to Xiao Liu's arms after entering it.
"Huh, why is it so warm?"
The woman's puzzled voice sounded in Xiao Liu's arms, and Xiao Liu knew that there was no way to pretend anymore, so he could only cough in embarrassment
"Well, can you please get up first?"
"Ah——! someone!"
The woman's surprise was not small, her screams were particularly piercing in this dark forest full of demon beasts, and Xiao Liu couldn't help frowning after feeling her screams up close.
I don't know where this woman came from, is there something wrong with her brain?
She screamed like this, didn't she clearly tell those demon beasts that there was someone here?!
"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a bad person. It's just that I've been here before you for a while. ”
Xiao Liu's voice was as calm as possible, so as not to provoke the other party again and cause her to scream.
"You, you're really not a ghost, you were in there just now, were you? Then why don't you keep quiet? want to scare people to death!?"
After the initial panic, the woman finally stabilized her mood, but her words made Xiao Liu roll her eyes.
"Girl, I just entered this tree hole and found something approaching, and I didn't know that you were a human and not a monster, how could you make a sound? Okay, let me go out, I'll give you this place." ”
After listening to the woman's words, Xiao Liu had a familiar feeling, but his current posture just happened to not see the other party's face, so he simply wanted to quit and vacate the place for the other party.
It's not so safe here after the woman's scream, and it's better to flash someone early than to stay and say those unnutritious words to the other party.
Xiao Liu was very curious about how a woman could appear here, but now that he was alone, he had just found a bit of a lone ranger, and he didn't want to have too much to do with other people.
After listening to Xiao Liu's words, the woman realized that the current posture of the two was a little ambiguous, so she hurriedly twisted her body out of the tree hole, and then muttered
"What is this, what do you say, there are demon beasts everywhere? Why didn't you meet a single one for a long time, but ran into someone?! They are all lies!"
As he spoke, Xiao Liu had already come out of the tree hole, and then he and the woman looked up at each other's faces at the same time.
Even if there was only a faint moonlight here, they could immediately see each other's appearances.
"Is that you?"
The two exclaimed in unison, but Xiaoliu quickly wondered.
Because the woman in front of her was obviously Her Royal Highness the princess who followed Donghuang Pu, but it was not strange that she could recognize her face, how could she recognize her appearance?
How do you listen to the other person's surprised voice, as if you have known yourself for a long time?
"Why did Her Highness come here?
Donghuang Xue's beautiful eyes turned into a sly look after being surprised, her eyes rolled a little, and then she said with a smile
"Why, if you are allowed to come to participate in the hunting festival, won't you let me come? I got my father's permission to this place, and all of a sudden there were only three left, Donghuang Pu, a father and a son.
"Father, Xiaoxue hasn't been away for a long time, and I believe she won't dare to go too deep. She didn't tell me anything more than curiosity about this place, and when she saw that there was nothing but a forest and a swamp, she would definitely come back by herself. ”
Donghuang Yi saw that his father was in a bad mood, so he persuaded him on the side.
"Yes, father, although Xiaoxue doesn't know the severity, she is not stupid, and she will not joke with her life. ”
Dong Huangjun was not far behind.
Donghuang Pu's anger calmed down a little after the anger just now, and after listening to the words of his two sons, he nodded silently, and then spoke
"Let's go back and wait, I hope she won't make any tricks for me!"

Donghuang Xue's beautiful eyes turned into a sly look after being surprised, her eyes rolled a little, and then she said with a smile
"Why, if you are allowed to come to the hunting festival, I will not be allowed to come? I came in after you with my father's permission. I'm here for the sake of training! As for why I recognize you, what's so strange about that? Didn't we meet on the stone platform before? I never forget it!"
Xiao Liu never thought that this princess would also come to participate in the hunt, and he didn't know much about the other party, he had no way of seeing through Donghuangxue's lies, but the tone and demeanor of the other party's speech could always remind him of a person, and that person was another princess who had been rescued by him that time.
Thinking that the two are sisters, it is normal to have some similarities, and Xiao Liu was immediately relieved.
But here comes a new problem, since the other party is a princess, should he let her stay here by himself? I'm here for the sake of training! As for why I recognize you, what's so strange about that? Didn't we meet on the stone platform before? I never forget it!"
