Chapter 22: Danger

Time passed quietly, the fire was extinguished, the glimmer of mushroom moss reigned again, and after a long time, the long night finally passed. When the bright sunlight once again filled the land, the mushrooms folded their skirts, the little beasts hid back to their nests, and the insects returned to their nests. Other daytime animals and insects dominate the forest, and the mushroom forest also presents a different kind of vitality and vitality than at night.

A squirrel-like beast walked through the mushroom forest, and happened to walk to the fire where An Xiaoqi and the two warmed up last night, it stopped curiously, dug up in the ashes with its front paws, and the big tail behind it swept around mischievously, and after a while, raised its head and made a few crisp sounds, as if to vent its displeasure for nothing.

High in the sky, a figure jumped vertically on the surface of the high-rise mushroom at an extremely fast speed. Each time he stepped heavily, the ground shook for a while, and then he leaped high and fell a hundred meters away, and between the two jumps he would stop and look at it, and then he would jump again. In this way, he soon passed through a large area, and once again gained a foothold, which was the tallest mushroom An Xiaoqi had visited last night.

In direct sunlight, a woman is stepping on the spot where An Xiaoqi stood last night. He was in his early forties, with the same Caucasian appearance, pale blue eyes, and a dark look, and the most distinctive feature was the hooked nose on his face, which reminded people of vultures, which was intimidating. She wore a tight black leather coat that tightly wrapped her whole body, revealing her lackluster figure.

The light shone on a large all-metal bow on her back, reflecting a strange brilliance. It was a very eye-catching carved bow, and with a feather arrow tied around her waist, it seemed to be not light, but between the women jumping vertically, they didn't seem to care.

She stood on the top of the mushroom, walked a few steps, and slowly scanned the surroundings with her gloomy eyes, and finally fixed on the position where An Xiaoqi's hands and feet climbed up, where there was a clear footprint! She walked to the left of the footprint, squatted down, gestured with her hand, looked up again, got up with a deep groan, and slowly moved along the route An Xiaoqi had walked around last night, with a terrifying smile on her mouth.

"Found it!"

The hook-nosed woman walked to the edge of the mushroom, where An Xiaoqi had seen the fire last night, just when the squirrel-like creature chirped. The woman's vulture-like eyes stared at it for a moment, her pupils shrank, she took out the strange-shaped bow from her back and held it in her hand, and chose an arrow from her waist at random, and pulled the string to make an arrow.

An arrow broke through the air, like lightning and flint, and went straight to the animal, a distance of several hundred meters, and the beast was nailed to the ground with an arrow! The woman's face slowed down, her feet were forced, and the whole person flew out of the air, and after a while, it also landed next to the fire.

I tested the temperature with my hands, and the ashes were already cold. The woman stood up with a frown, didn't look at her feet, kicked at will, and kicked the whole animal that was still twitching, splashing blood, water, flesh and brains everywhere. With a random hook of his foot, the feather arrow flew straight up from the ground and returned to his hand again, but it was not stained with any blood. She held it and wiped it twice on her leather coat, and then hung it back on her waist, but her face showed a look of chagrin.

"If it weren't for the fact that there were too many sluts in the mushroom clan along the way, which distracted us too much, how could we not be able to catch up with the traces of those two sluts!

She walked around the fire, took a closer look at the place where she fought last night, and even touched the place where An Xiaoqi and the mushroom girl had sit, and then licked it, and examined it very carefully. After a circle, his brows tightened, adding a three-point ugliness to his already terrifying face, and it was more than enough to play a witch's soul in a horror movie.

"The footprints on it just now are clearly the size of the boy, but the traces here ..... that boy is delicate and timid, how can he fight against the mongrels of the mushroom clan? Where did the slut woman with him go? Damn, there is no way to determine the identity now. โ€

The witch held a serious face, unwilling to continue to search, in addition to this layer of mushroom plane, but also in the upper and lower three-dimensional space kept looking. The hard work paid off, and she finally found a long sword stuck in the ground from the next layer of mushroom noodles! The uneaten mushroom meat on the sword was still skewered on it, but the color became a little black.

Turning the potted and dilapidated long sword, the black birds and mushrooms on the hilt are vividly visible. The vulture girl smiled, her hands were slightly folded, An Xiaoqi used it all the way to cut through thorns and thorns, and the long sword that had made great achievements immediately broke with a 'snap' and was thrown aside by the vulture girl.

"The Black Skylark Family, it's that slut's swordโ€”it's them! Hehe, it's finally revealed, this time I'm going to see how you escape!"

A few jumps jumped back to the top of the highest mushroom, and the Yin Girl raised her head and let out a long howl, which shook the four fields, and there was a gust of wind on the flat ground, and the small animals around ran like crazy to dodge.

Not long after, another black figure flew in from a distance, and they moved extremely quickly in a single fall. At first, it was a small black dot, but in a few moments, it became a circle, and in a few minutes it ran from a very far distance to the side of the Yin Crane Girl, and fell from the sky.

Standing still, this is also a Caucasian woman in her forties. With black hair and an extremely ordinary appearance, I can't say what is distinctive. Walking on the streets of the United States and Europe, there is no conspicuousness, just like the image of an ordinary middle-aged woman. She wore the same tight-fitting black dress as the hook-nosed girl, but her waist was fattened and she looked quite bloated. If the black dress is not a standard configuration, but she chooses it herself, this kind of outfit may only be described with spicy eyes, and she can't think of it.

Unlike the hooked nose, the middle-aged aunt did not carry a bow, but carried a thick-backed sword. The sword body was dark throughout, and I don't know what it was forged, but it was lightly carried behind her back and not withdrawn. I don't know if it's the weight of the sword or the weight of the person, or both, the aunt landed with great momentum and smashed a big hole. She came out of the pit and added a bit of power. Hooknose didn't wait for her to speak, he had already taken a few steps forward and met her.

"Linde, I've found traces of those two men, and I can use this as a starting point for tracking. โ€

The aunt stood in front of the hooked nose, her brows frowned slightly, her heroic spirit was not inferior to her, and her voice was extremely majestic: "Very good, I still have three copies of the talisman in my hand, it will not be a problem to track it for a while, take it!"

After taking the small black square box that looked like a firewood box handed over by the aunt, the hooked nose carefully opened it, and a small pile of black paste-like objects was lying at the bottom of the box. As soon as this thing touches the air, it turns into a puddle of black liquid, and black smoke floats out of the liquid. The smoke was vaguely in the shape of a person.

Seeing that the summoning was successful, the aunt felt a little relieved, and said in a pleasant tone: "This is a tracking prop bought from the warlock, and the price is not cheap. Fortunately, the price of the fascination spore powder produced here is also expensive, let's go back and catch a few cheap mushroom species, this small loss should be able to make up for it. โ€

"Of course!"

This kind of talisman soul can't do anything else, only one miracle, that is, the sense of smell is ten times stronger than some beasts. With its tracking, it is easy to smell the residual smell of An Xiaoqi and the mushroom girl, and it lasts for no less than one day on Earth. This made An Xiaoqi almost impossible to escape under the tracking of the two.

The talisman smelled slightly in the wind, floating away like a light mist, and the aunt and the hooked nose glanced at each other, and jumped up and followed all the way. Since then, An Xiaoqi's pursuers have also been one more way.

In the middle of the day, deep in the mushroom jungle, the sound of birdsong gradually rises.

It is in the middle of a mushroom forest. The upper and lower parts of this place are shrouded in cascading mushrooms, and the terrain is hidden, making it very secluded and difficult to find. Due to its favorable environment, it has recently become a paradise for certain birds, and it is easy to gather here to feed during the day, so it is quite noisy.

An Xiaoqi gasped hard, struggled to move his steps, the fire in his lungs was uncomfortable, and he was still gritting his teeth and moving forward. Hundreds of meters behind him, an invisible position, a small figure, came with perseverance.

The girl was still following him: the hatred was deep, and the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife was no more than that. Of course, in fact, it is much the same. An Xiaoqi held a mushroom handle and gasped, his expression was very calm, and he thought depressedly: What a desirable realm it is to run wild with nothing fruit when I first came - at least no one is chasing after me behind my ass to kill my dog.

An Xiaoqi glanced back, but he didn't see the mushroom girl, and he didn't dare to take it lightly. He didn't dare to stay long, and continued on the road, plunging headlong into this dark area.

In the middle layer of the mushroom forest, which is not exposed to sunlight, there are still a lot of glowing mosses contributing to the light, and the same is true here - although the line of sight is not very good, you can see things within a dozen meters, which is rare. An Xiaoqi stepped into the dim area, and saw several chicken-like creatures digging through the ground to peck at the ground under the faint light, and let out some piercing chirps from time to time.

These chickens are similar in appearance to their counterparts on Earth, with long feathers and sharp claws and pointed beaks, but they are slightly larger than those on Earth, similar to medium-sized dogs. When they saw An Xiaoqi coming, these chickens were not afraid of him, they were still looking for food with their claws, and they were still bold enough to come by his side, pecking at his boots. The strength of this chicken is not small, through the leather boots, An Xiaoqi also felt a tingling pain, with a little force to kick over, the chickens will be noisy and chirping, like a pot to run away, and then run back without long memory.

With a 'snap' sound, An Xiaoqi felt that he had stepped on something, and there was a soft feeling. Looking at his feet suspiciously, he saw a disgusting green object stuck to the sole of his shoe. Take a closer look: a large green worm on the ground that looks like a rubber tube has been trampled to the point of overflowing with water, and its tentacles are still writhing. The chickens quickly gathered around and competed to peck and grab a fine light.

An Xiaoqi couldn't care about the nausea, and 'chuckled' in his heart: the noise of the chickens would definitely reveal his position. Sure enough, the flock of chickens in the rear also chirped, and it was obvious that someone was following the sound to chase after them.

"Human, don't run away!"

"I'll call you uncle, can you let me go?"

Gritted his teeth and fled not far away, but a strange thing appeared before meeting: the mushroom handle of a large mushroom in front of him was carved out of the grip and the door leaf, which clearly looked like a gate! Looking at the side of the door, this mushroom handle also had a hole that seemed to be a window, and the window lattice was supported and opened by a beast bone. Looking through the window, the inside has been hollowed out, and there are several mushrooms of different sizes, like tables, chairs, beds, furniture, and there are many glowing mushrooms on the wall, which really looks like a mushroom house in a fairy tale.

Looking around, there were several similar mushroom houses, and An Xiaoqi thought to himself: this should be the residence of a mushroom family.

Temporarily putting aside the pursuers behind, An Xiaoqi ran all the way along the naturally formed path, and was amazed. After walking a few rooms, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, which made him frown.

This is the largest mushroom house in the neighborhood, about the size of a small two-story western-style building commonly found in rural areas on earth. On the outer wall of the house there is a pattern of branches and spore sticks: it is a large animal walking upright. The animal is surrounded by a strip of glowing moss that flashes like neon lights. The ceiling of the house is a mushroom umbrella cover, the edge of the umbrella cover hangs down thousands of silks, like a goddess scattering flowers, between the movement and stillness, the silk silk dances around, like a rotating wind chime swinging endlessly, indescribable beautiful and generous, showing the extraordinary ingenuity of the owner. Such a unique and exotic picture scroll suddenly surprised An Xiaoqi.
