Chapter 2: A Strange Scent

Xiaodao's name is Dongfang Mo, his mother died when he gave birth to him, and his father followed in his mother's footsteps two years ago, and since then he has become a veritable loner, living a life where one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry.

According to his dead father, he is the 3,751st descendant of the ancient Oriental family, and he is the only one left here. But as far as his father's words are concerned, just listen to them, Dongfang Mo is really weird.

When his father died, he left him a broken robe, a dust whisk that had been used for more than ten years, plus a stool he carried, a dozen gourds and a few stacks of broken books, which were all his belongings.

Dongfang has no ability to say goodbye, his father's mantle has been completely inherited, and even the blue is better than the blue, and the tricks of deception are more than one step better than his father.

On weekdays, Dongfang Mo makes a living by telling stories, and occasionally tells fortunes for others, tests words, and looks at marriages.

Such a day, in his words, is a cheap life, too tired to live, and reluctant to die. Because of this, Dongfang Mo is not sad to the extent of despair for the death of his parents, maybe his parents will enter reincarnation, and they will have a good baby in the next life, and they should be happy from now on.

For the future, Dongfang Mo still has his own dreams, that is, to drink the most fragrant wine, eat the best meat, marry a few of the most beautiful women, and live a life like a fairy.

Every time Dongfang Mo saw those rich old men going out, sitting in a sedan chair with eight people, wearing brocade hats and mink furs, wearing gold and silver on their hands and necks, some leading a birdcage in their hands, and some of them had a fierce beast in front of them, not only a few fierce entourages beside them, but also pretty little girls serving left and right, serving tea and pouring water to feed snacks, that is the word "grandeur" can be described.

As soon as he thought of eating, Dongfang Mo's stomach growled, and he touched his belly, only to remember that he hadn't eaten for a day, people were iron rice and steel, and he was hungry and panicked if he didn't eat a meal.

However, penniless, he wants to solve his stomach problem, which is nothing more than a little more difficult than when he was rich. Over the years, I have been practicing stealing chickens and dogs since I was five or six years old, except for the first few years, when the sheep often did not steal, but caused a commotion, and now I have long been familiar with these things.

However, out of the city surrounded by a wilderness, it is difficult for a family to see, so naturally they can't do the thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs. But in this field, there are many pheasants and rabbits, and it is not difficult to catch a few at random.

Thinking about it, Dongfang Mo looked around, chose a direction with lush mountains and forests, and walked forward quickly.

After entering the mountains and forests, he found a secret place to hide all his belongings. Dongfang Mo's slender eyes became sharp, sweeping around, as if he refused to let go of a trace of clues.

He was very familiar with everything in the mountains and forests, and as long as any wild beast passed by, it would inevitably leave some clues.

A footprint, a fallen leaf, a strand of hair can bring him a lot of clues. The size and depth of the footprints can be seen in the size of the beast, a cut branch and a fallen leaf can tell how long it has been out of this place and in which direction it is going, and the hair can clearly determine what the beast is.

And not long after Dongfang Mo entered the mountain forest, a strange smell suddenly came.

Snorted and sniffed carefully. It was not the smell of plants and trees, nor the body odor or excrement left by any animals, but a kind of fragrance, but there seemed to be a trace of fishy smell in the fragrance, which was particularly strange.

Dongfang Mo has been wild in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and this is the first time he has smelled this smell.

And just as he followed the smell, it didn't take long for the fishy smell in the fragrance to become more and more intense. At one point, he suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at a branch on the side.

On this branch, there were drops of dark liquid left, Dongfang Mo's eyes narrowed, and his already slender eyes looked extremely sharp.

He immediately judged that the fishy smell in the fragrance came from the liquid. On closer inspection, this dark red liquid seems to be some kind of beast blood.

After carefully looking around, and finding that there was nothing abnormal, he dipped his finger in the dark red liquid on the branch, and wanted to put it close to the tip of his nose to smell it, but when he just touched the liquid, he suddenly withdrew his hand, showing a painful look, and endured it so that he didn't exhale in pain.

The liquid was as hot as boiling water, sticking to his hands and burning his fingers red.

It took a long time for the pain to fade away. Dongfang Mo looked at his hand and found that the original red place gradually returned to its original color, and the liquid was gone, and there was no other feeling.

"Yes, this should be the blood of some kind of weird thing." its inner judgment.

Ben was a curious man, and he became interested in what left behind this blood.

Judging from his experience, beasts with high blood temperature are generally large in size and have sufficient qi and blood, just like tigers and bears. While his father was still alive, the two would dig traps from time to time and trap some huge beasts, so they were no strangers to it.

And this blood should be left behind after the thing was injured, and the blood dripping after the injury can still maintain such a temperature, you can imagine how huge its physique is.

However, there are exceptions to everything, although the tiger and bear kind of beasts have enough blood, but the blood does not appear delicate and viscous, although Dongfang Mo was burned by the dark red blood just now, but he still felt the delicate and silky feeling of the blood, that feeling is obviously only found by petite beasts, such as civets, spirit martens, etc.

Looking closely around the blood, there were no traces such as footprints, and from this, Dongfang Mo could judge that the thing either had wings and could fly, or it was petite and light as a swallow.

Compared with the two, Dongfang Mo was more inclined to believe that it was a small beast, not a large one. If this is the case, with his thin body, he should be able to easily take it down without digging a trap.

That kind of beast with small flesh and body, the meat is extremely delicate, and it is definitely the best meat among good meats, and the old man who wants to come to the sedan chair may not be able to eat it.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Mo couldn't help licking his lips, when his stomach was hungry, a good meal of meat was an absolute temptation for him.

Although this petite beast is the most difficult to catch, the beast is already injured, and its blood still has that unique smell, so it shouldn't be too difficult to track.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Mo lifted the robe under his feet, sniffled, and after identifying the direction, he quickly walked in one direction.

……

And just when Dongfang Mo was chasing the prey all the way, he was dozens of miles away from him.

At this time, a man and a woman stood side by side in the void, slowly standing in mid-air.

The man was about twenty years old, dressed in a black shirt, seven feet tall, and had a bear's back. His face was dark and resolute, like a knife, and his hands were turned behind his back at this time, looking mighty.

The woman was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her face was covered by a thin veil, except for a pair of smart eyes and slender willow eyebrows. Dressed in a long fiery red skirt with a ribbon around her waist, she looked like she was in her prime, and although she was in her cardamom years, she was beginning to have a stunning temperament.

"Thirteen, the Medicine Blood Beast is around here?"

At this time, the woman thought about the faint opening behind her, and her voice was crisp, like a jade bead colliding.

"Miss Yu, you shouldn't run out of a radius of ten miles."

Hearing this, the man in the short shirt replied with a respectful look in his eyes.

"Very good, this thing is so badly injured, it can actually run to this remote place where the aura is thin, this time see where it runs."

A cold glint flashed in the girl's eyes, and she seemed to be slightly impatient with the pursuit for so long.

"Miss, this medicine blood beast was hit hard by Miss at the stage of upright advancement, at this time the blood on its body is different from before, it will exude a strange fragrance, it is easy to be discovered, in order to prevent others from taking the lead, or I will take action to catch it." The man in the shirt continued.

"No, there won't be any monks in this place, and ordinary mortals and beasts can't smell that."

"And this medicine blood beast has a keen sense of smell, although it was seriously injured when it advanced, it can still run to this place where spiritual energy is scarce, it must be extraordinary here, which will help it heal, otherwise it will not be able to run to this place, wait for the time being, catch it when it heals, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

"Mademoiselle is really wise." The man in the short shirt arched his hand and complimented.

Hearing this, the girl was unmoved, but said lightly:

"Just follow from afar, don't get too close, that thing is very cunning, you must not miss this time, all the things in the furnace pill have been prepared, only the blood of this medicine blood beast, the family has spent manpower and material resources to check for so long, and finally there is news of the medicine blood beast, let it run away I don't know if it will have to wait until the year of the monkey."

"Yes, Thirteen obeys."

Hearing this, the man in the short shirt arched his hand, stepped on his feet at the same time, and walked into the distance, looking at its direction, it was the position of the medicine blood beast.

I just changed my pen name and posted a new book of my own. I hope the editors can understand.
