Chapter 16: The Masked Thief
In the morning, as soon as it was dawn, Bian Yao was woken up hungry.
He didn't sleep well that night, because after entering the dream, all he thought about was the space bag and food.
Bian Yao turned over and saw a pair of dark eyes staring at him on the other side of the bed.
"Hehe~" Bian Yao smiled at He Qingyin, looking at the girl's familiar and cute face, yesterday's events seemed to have been thrown out of the clouds by him.
He Qingyin blinked, rolled his eyes, and finally didn't hold back, "fluttered", and laughed at Bian Yao.
"Are you hungry?" asked Bian Yao suddenly.
"I'm not hungry, are you hungry?" He replied softly. She knew that every time Bian Yao asked herself like this, it was when she was hungry.
Bian Yao stretched his waist, got up from the couch, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said to He Qingyin: "How about we go out to get some game to eat? By the way, try your luck, if only you could catch a strange beast that can be exchanged for money." ”
In the Dream Immortal Continent, those large and small restaurants are never short of meat food, and most of the restaurants have their own "hunters", the so-called "hunters" are those low-level dream cultivators hired by the restaurants, they will go out every day to hunt some animals, and then provide them to the hotel in exchange for payment.
There are a lot of dream cultivators, but most of them are relatively low, and some low-level dream cultivators choose to join the country or those large and small forces, but these people are only a minority after all, and most of the cultivators are scattered cultivators. Since it is a casual cultivation, it is necessary to be self-sufficient, and in order to survive, some low-level dream cultivators will choose one or several copies, similar to the profession of "hunter".
Most of the scarce items are very popular, and those restaurants will also buy them out. Some special beasts with a very small number can be exchanged for money directly as long as they are delivered to the door.
After hearing Bian Yao's words, He Qingyin lowered his neck slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly in a low voice: "I'll stay at the inn, it's better for you to go alone." ”
Bian Yao wanted to speak, but his lips moved a few times, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
As he said softly, he didn't go out for fun, walking in the mountains and jungles, accidents would inevitably happen, and it was normal to encounter danger, and it was not a good choice to take the girl with him.
In the end, Bian Yao instructed He Qingyin a few words, and asked her to stay in the inn and bring it back when she got something to eat. The girl nodded in agreement, and also told Bian Yao to be careful.
With a bit of complexity on his face, Bian Yao hurriedly left the inn, walked out of the west gate of the cave city, and came to the western suburbs of the forest again.
Bian Yao walked through the woods, trying to catch some rare animals and exotic beasts, and then take them to the shops in the city to exchange them for money.
Two hours passed, and Bian Yao jumped down from the tree in frustration. In the morning, in addition to the strange beasts that are common in the forest, there are only hares and wild boars, which cannot be sold, and they do not even have salt and flint on their bodies, and it is impossible to roast wild game and eat it.
Bian Yao looked up at the top of his head, and the afternoon sun was peeking at him through the gaps in the branches and leaves. He drooped his face and walked slowly through the woodland, and as he walked, he thought of the space bag, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
"Why can others rob my things? Lao Tzu wants to rob them too!" Bian Yao thought in his heart, and his eyes showed a little heat.
Somewhere in the woods, two figures, one tall and one short, were talking.
"Young Master, let's eat something first. The tallest of them was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, standing respectfully, removing the burden from his shoulders, unbuttoning the knot, and holding it up to the shadow opposite.
"I don't want to eat! You let me do some exercise and practice in this broken forest all day long, and it doesn't make any sense at all. The chubby boy sitting on the stake said angrily.
"Master is also for your good, you have just broken through to the realm of Dream Layman, and you need to exercise more. The man smiled.
"Wang~" A dog barked next to the two of them, and suddenly sounded.
Suddenly, hearing the dog barking, the middle-aged man and the slightly chubby boy first showed a look of surprise, and the two hurriedly turned their faces to look to the side, only to see a big black dog as thin as wood, pounced from mid-air.
The middle-aged man's face changed greatly, he threw the burden to the ground, stepped forward and picked up the young man and retreated sharply. And the big black dog soon disappeared.
At this moment, a thin figure suddenly jumped into the clearing and jumped to the place where the two of them had just stayed. The figure was covered with a black cloth over its face, and it seemed to be a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
When the man saw this, he already understood a little in his heart. Being able to use the illusory dream, the person who came was at least a late-stage dream master, and he was in the same realm as himself, so it seemed that he was a little troublesome.
Just when the man's mind was spinning, thinking about what to do, a scene that made him staggered appeared.
As soon as the figure that suddenly appeared appeared, he quickly picked up the spirit fruits scattered on the ground, and put them all into his baggage, and then turned his face to look at himself.
"I'm hungry and murdered right now, so if you want to blame that damn bastard!" the masked boy began, his voice childish. After saying that, he jumped into the woods quickly.
Looking at the masked thief's fleeing figure, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, the other party actually came to snatch the spirit fruit, as long as the young master was fine.
In the cloud tourist inn, Bian Yao threw the burden on the bed.
"Count it, it's enough for you to eat for a few days. ”
When He Qingyin saw the strange baggage, although there was suspicion in his eyes, he didn't open his mouth to ask, and reached out and slowly opened the package.
"Eighteen Bixiang Fruits, nine Zhenluo Fruits, a total of twenty-seven. After He Qingyin counted it, he said with a smile on his face.
"It's not much, but if you save some food, you should be able to last a few days. A smile appeared on Bian Yao's face.
He Qingyin picked out a green fragrant fruit and a real Luo fruit, stepped forward and handed it to Bian Yao, ate another green fragrant fruit himself, and finally tied the package up.
"Are these fruits in exchange?" He asked in a low voice.
"Hmm...... I robbed it. If someone else takes my things, why can't I rob them? Bian Yao hesitated, spoke, looked a little unnatural, and moved his face to the side without looking at the girl.
"What if that person is better than you and you can't beat him?" He Qingyin said worriedly, his face flushing slightly.
To Bian Yao's surprise, there was no sense of blaming herself in the girl's words, and she suddenly became energetic. He turned his face to look at He Qingyin, and said proudly: "No, almost all the people who go to that forest are dreamers, and dreamwalkers rarely appear. I also observed for a while beforehand, as long as I am not a dreamwalker, I am not afraid of a dreamer. What's more, these spirit fruits are nothing compared to my space bag. ”
"Anyway, don't do it again in the future, I'm afraid you'll meet someone better than you again. He Qingyin stared at Bian Yao's eyes, and his expression became very serious.
"If you don't do it, you won't do it, there's a way anyway. I'm done eating, let's go outside for a while. Bian Yao muttered a few words and stood up.
The Cloud Visitor Inn is a large garden, and the two of them are already very familiar with the environment inside, and they also love the scenery inside.
He Qingyin smiled slightly, got up from the couch and walked out of the guest room, and the two of them wandered around the inn.
"Tomorrow I'm going to the "Hengshui Mountains". I heard that every year in autumn, many spiritual herbs often emerge in the mountains within a few days, or even overnight, and you can go back to the city to exchange money after picking one or two valuable herbs. Bian Yao sat down on a stone and spoke.
"There will be danger, right?" He Qingyin also sat down next to him, his face a little solemn.
"No, nothing happened last time I roasted rabbit meat there in the middle of the night with the old ghost. It's not very far, and I might spend two days in the mountains. Bian Yao said confidently.
"But you're alone...... I'm ......," He Qingyin hesitated.
"It's going to be fine! I'm not going to grab anything, I'm not going to catch any beasts, I'm just picking herbs. I don't know when the old ghost will wake up, and I'll have to find a way to get enough food. Bian Yao's tone was very firm.
He Qingyin didn't say anything more, she had been secretly blaming herself since the space bag was robbed. If it weren't for his own drag, Bian Yao would have escaped smoothly, and if he hadn't lost the space bag, he wouldn't have what he is doing now.
Therefore, for Bian Yao's decision, even though he had a lot to say, he still endured it in his heart.
