Chapter 272: The Flying Thief
It was getting late, and the boys mounted their horses and went home, while Barrett remained on the farm under the hostile gaze of the men.
At this time, Barrett was leaning against a haystack near the warehouse, quietly waiting for the thieves to come. The autumn nights were indeed a bit cold, and he wore a gray coarse cloth cape.
Old Samr said that thieves come to steal almost every day this month, and although the things they steal each time are not much, they are still quite considerable over time. More importantly, he was worried that if the thief not only stole one day, but also wanted to hurt someone, the matter would be a bit serious.
After listening to the farmer's description, the barbarian had a vague guess about the identity of the thief. But at this time it is not certain, everything will have to wait for the thief to appear.
In addition to him, there is also a shepherd dog named 'Starmark'. And the name is given because the dog has a black pile on its back, which is shaped like a star with five sharp horns.
'Starmark', hmph, this is the name given by women, it is too literary and not close to life, Barrett shook his head with dissatisfaction. If I had to do it, I'd name this dog......
"Hey, star fruit!" he whispered to the dog beside him.
The shepherd glanced sideways at the brute, but did not pay any attention, but lay on the ground in some decadence, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the situation in which he was left alone while his brother could accompany his master in the room.
Barrett didn't care about the dog's coldness, he leaned against the haystack, one hand resting behind his head, and the other hand touched the head of the 'star fruit', and brushed the hair on his body a little messy, "Why didn't you find those guys stealing things?" he asked casually, "Are you lazy?"
The dog looked up at Barrett and whimpered twice, as if to explain something, but the brute did not understand what was said.
"Don't worry, 'star fruit', I'm sure it's okay to have me this time. The brute patted the dog's body lightly, "I'm pretty good!"
The dog barked again, and the depressed mood seemed to be much better.
......
In the middle of the moon, Barrett suddenly felt that something seemed to be approaching the warehouse, and the dog beside him seemed to have noticed something after him.
The 'star fruit' was refreshed for a moment, it stood up and let out a very low 'whin' sound, and looked sideways at Barrett, but it didn't scream casually without recklessness.
"Shhh Barrett instructed, "Let's see what those thieves are." ”
He quietly poked his head out of the haystack and saw three fierce rabbits about the size of 'star fruit', digging by the door of the warehouse.
In the blink of an eye, the underside of the warehouse door was dug up by the ferocious rabbits a small passage that could be drilled into. After this, two of the ferocious rabbits followed the passage into the warehouse, while the other stood up straight outside, looking around smartly.
Could the thieves be these ferocious rabbits? Barrett didn't believe it. Ferocious Bunnies don't steal hot apple pie or let a whole jar of maple syrup float into the woods.
He waited patiently and quietly, and saw two large pumpkins being pushed out of the passage, followed by a pumpkin and a crimson beet, then a beet and a purple onion.
"It's not tasty, and it's small!" Barrett's keen hearing caught an extremely subtle voice, "I don't want this, I want that one next to it! The voice said.
Subsequently, the purple onion was sent back by the ferocious rabbit outside, and after more than a dozen heartbeats, a large beet came out of it.
"Well, okay, let's send these back first, and then come back and get them twice. The voice said again.
The fierce rabbits in the warehouse crawled out with the sound, and the three big rabbits grabbed the leaves at the top of the beets in their mouths, and rolled the pumpkin with their forelimbs, all the way to the maple forest.
Seeing that his master's belongings were about to be stolen by the thieves, the loyal dog, 'Star Fruit', angrily sprang out of Barrett's side, let out an angry bark, and attacked the nearest ferocious rabbit.
Can an ordinary shepherd dog beat a ferocious rabbit? It's really enough to choke! Ferocious animals not only increase in size, but also increase their attack power and temper, just like their prefixes, they are really quite "ferocious." What's more, the other party is three.
However, before the rabbits could make a move, the very small voice appeared again, "Hmph, the bad dog is here again!" and then Barrett saw the dog whimper, and then suddenly fell to the ground, struggled twice, and fell asleep.
Sure enough, those little things!, Barrett affirmed in his mind.
He grabbed the hem of his cloak with his hand to protect his head, then took out a bag of dust from the spatial ring, roughly discerned the direction of the subtle sound, and rushed towards the ferocious rabbits.
"There's a bad guy!" said the voice above the rabbit. Barrett then felt several pin-like things shoot on top of his cloak, but they didn't hurt him.
The brute rushed to the side of the ferocious rabbit in a few steps, and by this time the big rabbits had already put down the beets in their mouths, and pulled out sharp teeth and hard rabbit claws that could quickly dig through the ground.
However, Barrett did not want to fight the rabbits at this time, he raised his hand and threw a cloud of dust into the air, and then three small creatures with wings revealed their bodies under the effect of the dust.
These little creatures look like elves countless times smaller, but they have two pairs of slender, transparent wings on their backs. They were dressed in clothes woven of leaves and vines, and they held delicate, small bows and arrows in their hands.
"Ahh
"'Corn,' on!" shouted the brute. Then, a pitch-black shadow skimmed through the night sky and flew around several little ones in the air in a half-circle. The wind from the black shadows caused them to sway in the air and let out a small scream.
'Whoosh', a few small arrows still accurately hit the black shadow even under the premise of being unstable, but there was nothing they could do about it. The black shadow flew past the little guy at a rapid pace, and picked it up in one gulp.
