Chapter Twenty-Four: The Deer Spirit
The clouds are faint and smoky, and the forest is quiet!
A sturdy young man with a bear's claw facial pattern painted on his face was holding a longbow, and his sharp arrows were aimed at Xia Ye's head, his gaze was fierce!
Natsuno's crossbow is very steady.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps all around, apparently the boy's companion was hurrying towards him, and soon, a tall and thin boy appeared.
"What's going on, why is it from our tribe?"
Looking at the family emblem on Xia Ye's chest, Xia Yang depressedly put away the knife, thinking that he could see blood, but just when the others also relaxed their vigilance, a serious question smashed into everyone's ears.
"Who told you to put away the knife?"
Xia Qingyuan's face was gloomy and he glanced around.
No one dared to look at him, let alone talk back.
The corners of Xia Ye's mouth twitched, this sixteen-year-old boy he knew, it was said that he was Xia Ye's distant cousin, because he often delivered food to several companions who lived in the slums, and his popularity and reputation were excellent.
"Even if it's a clansman, won't it be an enemy?"
Xia Qingyuan taught: "Although his crossbow is facing downward, as long as he doesn't unload the arrow, he can shoot at any time, so he can't be careless at any time when he has a long snack and fights in the wild!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Xia Ye, and sure enough, this kid had a smile on his face, and the crossbow arrows were also pointing downward, looking kind, but his hands never left the crossbow.
Xia Qingyuan sighed, these members of the group are not powerful, they didn't notice that this young man with a single ponytail had a crossbow bow that was biased towards Xia Xiong, but after he appeared, he had already moved.
While a fighter with a ranged weapon is a great threat, it is clearly more valuable to be a leader when there is only one chance to shoot.
"Got it, Brother Qingyuan!"
Xia Yang shrank his neck and glared at Xia Ye resentfully, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been scolded by Xia Qingyuan.
"Brother Xia, I know this blind man!"
The young man with the bear claw face tattoo wanted to say that this half-blind was one of the Xia family's double wastes, and there was no threat, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was sprayed back by Xia Qingyuan.
"Xia Xiong, do you know the representative?"
Xia Qingyuan asked rhetorically: "Do you know how many ranks he has? Do you know what he is good at? If you don't know, shut up for me, and then watch on alert!"
"Amazing, no wonder you can become a team leader!"
This young man with bear claw face tattoo named Xia Xiong is the oldest, and he looks like he has good combat power, but he is willing to be trained, which shows that Xia Qingyuan has a few brushes.
"What about your companions?"
Xia Qingyuan faced Xia Ye with a smile again, very affinity, but his eyes were like eagle falcons, and he looked at him again and again without a trace.
"Single!"
Xia Ye is also looking at everyone's equipment, Xia Qingyuan's team, in addition to Xia Xiong who makes bows and arrows and Xia Yang who uses long knives, there are also a man and a woman.
"Who are you bluffing?"
The girl Xia Li snorted lightly: "Come to Fengjing Ruins alone to fight the jungle? I'm afraid you're not mentally retarded, right?"
"I know you, Xia Lingyue's tabula rasa brother, aren't you sick in bed all year round? I heard that you have to rely on Xia Lingyue's work to support you!"
It was Xia Qiufeng who spoke, a young man with a handsome face, but at this time he was full of puzzlement.
The Xia Ye in front of him is completely different from the rumored sick seedling, although he is still thin, but he is dressed in leather armor, with a scimitar on his left waist, a battle axe on his right waist, and a crossbow in his hand, he is simply armed to the teeth, and his body is filled with a fierce atmosphere.
Xia Ye grinned toothily and didn't bother to argue.
The warm sunlight passed through the branches and leaves in the forest, mottled and fell, sprinkled on Xia Ye's delicate face, Xia Li couldn't help but tilt her head and glanced at Xia Qiufeng.
I used to think that Brother Qiufeng was quite handsome, but at this time, compared with this Xia Ye, it is a lot worse.
The purple facial lines on his face, like a starry night crescent, and like blood-dripping beast teeth, were tied high in the back of his head in a ponytail, the tips of his hair swayed with the breeze, revealing a sense of elegance, and the blindfold that covered his left eye, not only did not damage his appearance, but added a kind of fierce and iron-blooded temperament.
"So, can I go?"
Natsuno asked.
"Get out of here!"
Xia Yang urged impatiently.
"Wait. ”
Xia Qingyuan stopped.
Choke!
Everyone immediately drew their swords and stared at Natsuno, ready to fight.
"Ahh
Woad clenched the stone hammer and bared his teeth like a puppy: "Tell you, I'm super fierce!"
Xia Ye didn't have any excitement, because he always paid attention to Xia Qingyuan and found that he had no intention of making a move.
"Don't get me wrong!"
Xia Qingyuan explained: "I just asked, do you want to join my team?"
"What?"
An exclamation.
"Brother Xia, what do you want this kind of waste for?"
Xia Yang felt insulted.
"You can see it too, they don't welcome me!"
After Xia Ye finished speaking, he didn't give Xia Qingyuan a chance to speak, and immediately transferred.
"Ha, this kid must be freaking out when he runs so fast!"
Xia Xiong smirked.
"I can guarantee that this kid will never survive for three days, but it's a pity that he is equipped with that outfit!"
Xia Qiufeng sighed, he still has a temperance, otherwise he would have robbed it.
Xia Qingyuan shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Li tugged at Xia Qingyuan's arm, and her tone was slightly coquettish.
"His expression has never changed, he is too calm!"
This is also the reason why Xia Qingyuan invited Xia Ye, even if he was attacked by a surprise attack, his expression did not change in the slightest.
"It's all the same people, he must know that we won't touch him!"
Xia Xiong explained: "I'm not afraid to change me!"
"Let's go, go and find the secret treasure, you must be ahead of those Cao people. ”
Xia Qingyuan didn't want to bother talking, people in a dangerous environment, facing multiple sharp blades, there would be a natural sense of tension and fear, but Xia Ye didn't, either he had been fighting for a long time, or he was born with a big heart, no matter which one he was, it was worth wooing, but he didn't have time now.
Using what his sister jokingly called the 'Eye of Domination', Natsuno believed that he could make a gain, but after half a day, he had to stop the search.
"Ahh
Woad looked at the sky: "It's going to rain!"
The sky was full of dark clouds, like heavy lumps of lead, as if they could fall at any moment, giving people a great sense of depression.
"It's still raining heavily!"
Xia Ye wrinkled, enough to kill a sea crab, judging from his experience, this was definitely a heavy rain: "Let's find a place to spend the night first!"
In order to reduce the risk of being discovered, Xia Ye chose the edge of the northern city of the ruins and found an abandoned stone house with about ten square meters.
After a simple repair, to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, the two of them went out to collect firewood, once it rained and the branches were wet, then they didn't want to warm up and eat a hot meal.
Everything is going on in a hurry.
The fruit is only four or five years old, but it has rich experience in survival in the wild, not only has it not become a burden, but because of its great efforts, it has helped a lot.
Pheasants, eggs, and a baby boar with a broken head were dragged back.
The drizzle of cow's hair soon fell, sprinkled on the face, and it was wet.
"Woad, go back!"
Xia Ye tied the dry firewood with rattan and carried it on his shoulder.
"Ahh
He was climbing on a big tree dozens of meters away to dig a bird's nest, when he suddenly shouted and jumped down.
"Be careful!"
Xia Ye hurriedly chased after her, little Lori is good at everything, but her curiosity is too strong.
A woman with waist-length green hair collapsed beside a spring, probably in her twenties, wearing a long dress woven with some kind of blade of grass, which was at this time somewhat torn and stained with blood, apparently unconscious after a battle.
"What a strange outfit!"
Natsuno frowned.
The woman's feet are straw sandals, white toes can be seen, painted with green flower juice, and a small bag woven of rattan grass is carried cross-body around her waist, as well as a bronze short sword.
"It's a good thing you're not a man, otherwise you'd be green from head to toe!"
Xia Ye pouted, the facial lines on the woman's face were not complicated, the cheeks were leaves of plants he didn't recognize, and there was a deer antler pattern on her forehead.
"Hers?"
He walked around the neighborhood and picked up a leather backpack full of herbs and a stack of hides with strange patterns painted on them.
The rain is getting heavier.
You can't leave this woman here.
In the stone house, a bonfire is lit to dispel the dampness of the rainy day.
When Lu Lingxi woke up, she smelled a rich aroma of meat, which made her, who has always been a vegetarian, couldn't help but sniff.
A little girl crouched by the campfire, like a puppy waiting to be fed, stared at the clay pot on top, the thick soup in it bubbling and overflowing with white gas.
She was covered with a blanket, which was very warm, perhaps because of the weakness after the injury, which made her subconsciously tighten, and then looked around.
Not far away, the little girl had a strangely shaped travel bag, three weapons, and a set of neatly stacked leather armor, while her own belongings were within reach, and even the most dangerous bronze dagger had not been taken away.
The corners of Lu Lingxi's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, it should be a good person who saved himself!
"Are you awake? Would you like to drink water?"
Woad glanced at the green-clad woman.
Lu Lingxi was about to answer, but as soon as her crystal ears moved, she turned her head to look outside the house.
A thin boy broke through the wind and rain and broke in, wearing only a pair of sackcloth shorts and a pair of long boots.
The rain was sliding down his skin, and with his head shake, the single ponytail flicked lightly, like a tuna swinging tail, revealing a refreshing and freehand feeling.
Seeing that he was sober, he didn't rush to talk, but let the little Lori lift the travel bag, and then stood behind, wiped his body, and then put on his leather armor.
Lu Lingxi wants to laugh, it's just a little caterpillar, even if you see it, what does it matter?
"Are you ready to eat?"
The woad fruit fanned the clay pot with his hand, sweeping the fragrance to the end of his nose, and the food is current, even if the sky falls, he has to eat first before running.
"I'll see!"
Xia Ye nodded at Lu Lingxi, then squatted beside him, pulled out a survival straight knife, and poked at the piece of meat.
"That's it!"
"Oh yes!"
Woad cheered, and then impatiently picked up the sharpened chopsticks and went straight to the largest piece of meat in the clay pot!
"There are guests!"
Although he said this, Xia Ye did not stop him, and when he saw the water in the bronze lunch box boiling, he sprinkled a small handful of brown sugar.
"Would you like some?"
Natsuno chuckled.
