readx;? Following the mammoth herd in search of the elves was a very bold and risky decision, as none of them could figure out the temper of such a creature that had only appeared in legends. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this is indeed the best opportunity to find the elves, compared to wandering around the forest without a clue, obviously no one wants to let go of this opportunity.

It was already evening when I encountered the mammoth herd, and it was already night. The mammoths did not choose to rush under the night sky, and after the giant elephant in the lead let out a "purr" sound that resounded through the forest, all the mammoths stopped and responded to the cry of the leading giant elephant.

For a moment, the forest that was about to sleep was awakened by this group of powerful species. Countless tired birds returning to the forest fluttered and flew high into the sky again.

"It's too strong. Dennis sighed again, "It's the king of the forest." ”

Nicole said, "If it weren't for the Elves and Nathan, the Wind King, they would indeed be a group of kings. ”

"Is the mammoth king the one taking the lead?" Ian asked.

"Eighty percent of the time. Colby stroked his beard, looked at the mammoths lying on their legs in the distance, and said, "Only the mammoth king can command the mammoth herd." ”

Ian noticed that only a small fraction of the mammoths had fallen to rest. And basically they are all very small, and the large, mature mammoths stand against the tree, and their eyes are narrowed. But they all have one thing in common, which is that they hold their noses in their mouths when they sleep.

"Legend has it that the mammoth has a very strong body, and the most vulnerable thing is probably its nose. "And, if we're going to follow them, we'd better be prepared for the mammoth herd to have to rest for two or three hours at a time, and then we'll be able to walk for two days and two nights without resting, which is the least sleep-intensive of any species." ”

Nicole's words made everyone's faces not look good, especially after Colby affirmed the correctness of Nicole's words. Mammoth herds only need two hours of rest for two days, could it be that they only sleep two hours on two days?

"But it's not that bad. Nicole looked at Ian's somewhat bad look and comforted her, "Although the mammoth herd doesn't need much sleep for two days and two nights, it doesn't mean that they don't need rest." And there are small mammoths in the group, and the elephant king should notice this, plus they still need to eat, and they need time, and this is all our time to rest. ”

After Nicole finished speaking, Colby looked at her strangely: "Little girl, where did you know so much about mammoths? You must know that I am seventy years old this year, and I don't know much more about mammoths than you." ”

"My grandfather told me. Nicole replied simply.

"Your grandfather?"

Nicole snorted, but was reluctant to dwell too long on the topic, so she let the others rest. If the legend is correct, the mammoths will hit the road again in two or three hours. They had to hurry up and rest, and if they didn't rest, they wouldn't have the energy to keep up with this energetic race.

After hastily eating the antelope meat of the noon test. Everyone rested one after another, and today it was Ian's turn to keep vigil, and although he was exhausted, he had to fight strongly. However, Nicole did not rest like the others, she sat next to Ian and used the moonlight to bandage the wounds on his hands.

They did not dare to light a bonfire for fear of being noticed by the mammoth herd, so everything was done with the faint light of the moon.

"Although I know that I can't help it today, I still have to tell you that it's better for you not to use your hands for a short time. Nicole admonished again, "It's not healed yet, and it's cracking, and it's going to be a lot of trouble if it's going to go back and forth." ”

"I see. ”

Ian scratched his head in embarrassment, he'd heard Nicole say it to her three times. But there is no way, if he doesn't do it tonight, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to talk to Nicole now.

Nicole obviously understood Ian's difficulty, so instead of reproaching, she sighed while helping Ian bandage.

"What's wrong?"

"I've been thinking about what happened a year ago these days. "A year ago in Lutheran Jungle, what do you think would have happened if I hadn't chosen to go to Mintong City that time, or hadn't accosted that fake merchant when I saw him?"

"How do I know. Ian smiled, "I'm curious now why you suddenly got on it." ”

Nicole smiled lightly: "Because my grandfather is a regular hall merchant, I want to go up and expose him when I see a fake merchant." ”

"Well, then you're still pestering me later, in fact, I was also a fake at the time. ”

"yes. Nicole said softly, "What if I hadn't pestered you at the time, or had chosen to separate from you when I was in Radwell?"

Ian slowly withdrew his smile, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that if I had made a choice to miss you then, the future would not be the same as it is now. I still live with the grief of losing my grandfather and my father. I won't know the truth about my father's departure, and I will only hate him all the time. ”

"That's right. ”

"But I'll be safe. Nicole stuffed the cloth head into the gauze, then lowered her hands, looked into Ian's eyes, and said softly, "Maybe I'll meet someone who loves me, and then get married, have children, and live a life that may not be very happy, but at least safe, instead of staying here now, facing all kinds of legendary creatures, and danger surrounding me all the time." ”

Ian was silent.

"My mother always hoped that my father and I would be safe, because she was the daughter of a farmer, and she was short-sighted, and she believed that as long as she lived, she was the greatest happiness. She didn't know Nathan, the Wind King, she didn't know the mammoth, and she wouldn't know why her husband left, she just knew that she wanted her daughter and husband to live well. Nicole lowered her head as she spoke, but Ian saw the tears in the corners of her eyes.

"So in a sense, I'm not an obedient child. ”

Nicole sleeps, and Ian doesn't. He had been thinking about the meaning of Nicole's last few words, yes, he, like Nicole, wanted to avenge his parents, so he sat here. But whether it's Nicole's parents, or Irin and Shirley, would they like to see their current selves in the heavens?

Unbeknownst to Ian, Ian looked up at the night sky covered in dark clouds, half of the moon swallowed up, and the stars like diamonds twinkling on the curtain.

"Ian, Mommy loves you. ”

Ian stroked his forehead and whispered, "I love you too." ”
