Chapter 125: Hostility
(Miao Miao once again thanked Wen Zhengtian's brothers for their reward)
It turned out that just as the boy turned to pick the blood lotus, there was a corpse toad hidden elsewhere that suddenly attacked him.
The boy apparently didn't realize that there was another toad lurking in the small pond, and when he let his guard down after killing the one, he suddenly attacked.
The shadow of the toad's tongue in the young man's eyeballs is getting bigger and bigger, although he himself has been hunting in the wild all the year round, but the current situation seems to be beyond his ability, stunned on the spot, the next moment will be entangled by the tongue, contaminated with toad toxin, and buried in his abdomen.
The only thing the boy could do at this time was to close his eyes and wait for the last moment of his life to come.
"Boom!"
The young man only felt a loud noise, his eardrums were in severe pain, and there was no sticky feeling on his face, but a wave of air hit him, and his face was as if he had been cut by thousands of knives, and he felt faint pain, and his body leaned back, "plopping" and sat in the pool.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and there seemed to be a "buzzing" sound in his ears, shaking his head vigorously, and wondering what had just happened?
The blood lotus in front of me is swaying gently, and the bright red color catches people's eyes.
The young man didn't care about anything else, hurriedly stood up, wiped his hands on the fairly clean clothes on his body, took a big stride, walked to the front of the blood lotus, stretched out his hand to pull it up, and pulled out a section of lotus root at the bottom of the pond.
It is said that the lotus flower has a good reputation, "out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons", the lotus described in it is white and flawless, and the lotus root is also pure and refined.
However, the blood lotus root in the young man's hand of about half a foot is the same color as its stems, leaves, and flowers, and its red is as red as blood, and it is bewitching.
Just now, at the moment of the young man's life and death, it was Jing Jun who hid behind the dirt bag to make a loud noise and save it from becoming food for the ghouling toad.
Jing Jun watched intently as the boy seemed to be fighting with something similar to a toad in the pond, the process was not long, and the young man was agile, and he killed the opponent who was temporarily invisible to him and Mao Yanran.
And just as the boy was about to turn around, from Jing Jun's point of view, he saw an oversized toad jump out of the puddle, open its big mouth and spit out a tongue that looked extremely thick from such a distance and attacked the unprepared boy.
At first, Jing Jun was still thinking about whether to snatch it from the young man, which was obviously a blood lotus of different species, but seeing that the young man was about to be successfully attacked by the big toad, the compassion in his human heart drove his brain to rush to the rescue.
The sniper rifle had been behind the back, and it was unlikely that it would be taken out to calibrate it at the moment, and then it would be shot and killed, and at the moment of his thoughts, a fist-sized lightning ball flew towards the ugly toad.
Jing Jun's time to strike was just right, and the moment his tongue touched the boy, the lightning ball hit the big toad, and then blew it to the ground.
Jing Jun found that he had almost instinctively reacted to save the boy, and suddenly had a strange feeling, "What should I do with that blood lotus flower?"
Now that his tracks have been exposed, it is meaningless to hide them, Jing Jun stood up, patted the dirt and weeds on his body, and greeted Mao Yanran, who had not yet fully understood the current situation, and the two walked slowly towards the pond.
The boy had already understood that someone had rescued him just now, but he had accidentally found this blood lotus in this small pond two days earlier, and he was overjoyed when he had been wandering in the mountains and forests all year round.
After careful observation, it was found that this blood lotus was about to bloom once in the near future, and if it did not bloom, he could not determine how many years the blood lotus would be for the time being, and when it was just after noon today, various visions of the blood lotus indicated that the flower was about to bloom.
However, in the past two days, he has found that there is a corpse toad in the pond that seems to be waiting for the blood bank to open, and only then does he directly confront the big toad he killed after the flower blooms.
It's just that he didn't expect that there was a toad hidden in the pond, if someone hadn't come to the rescue, it would have been inevitable to get the blood lotus and bury himself in the toad's belly.
Seeing that the crisis had passed, the young man was busy grasping the blood lotus in his hand.
Jing Jun took Mao Yanran to the edge of the pond and looked at the young man who was still standing in the water.
Looking at it closely, Jing Jun was secretly shocked.
The young man is slender, but his arms are a little outrageously long, almost hanging down to the knee, his complexion is fair, and his eyebrows look heroic, but his eyes are weirdly earthy yellow, and his pupils are actually a thin slit at this time.
Speaking of eyes, basically all people are white vitreous with a pupil in the middle of the image, like the human vitreous is white, and the iris around the pupil is slightly different, the iris color of Asians is mostly dark brown, and the pupil in the middle is round.
When they came to this other world, they were all orcs of all races, and the color of their eyes was similar to the eye color of the animals that Jing Jun saw on Earth.
For example, Mao Yanran, the iris of the cat people is mostly dark yellow, but the iris of the little girl is rare blue, and the pupil will become a thin slit in the place where the light is strong, and her eyes are very beautiful.
But the young man in front of him, Jing Jun couldn't help but wonder when he saw his eyes, looking at his body seemed to be a bit like an ape, because the ape's arms were relatively long, but this eyeball was a little strange, the earthy yellow color was like the eyes of a snake man, and the thin slit pupils also showed that.
What ethnicity is he?
The young man was also looking at Jing Jun and Mao Yanran, he just glanced at the little girl and didn't stop, but he was very interested in Jing Jun, a pair of strange eyes stared at Jing Jun, and the muscles on his face shook uncontrollably.
Jing Jun was uncomfortable with the young man's seemingly murderous eyes, and looked down at himself unnaturally, trying to find something that would interest the young man opposite.
"You're an ape?"
Finally, the boy stopped his scanning eyes and said coldly.
Jing Jun was stunned, what is the matter with this kid, he saved his life just now, even if he doesn't need to come over and kowtow to thank him, but at least he should show a tone of gratitude, but he first interrogated his life and race, and the little offspring is too uneducated.
"I'm not an ape, but you......"
"You're a monkey?"
The young man didn't wait for Jing Jun to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted his speech and threw out another question.
Jing Jun was stunned again, his heart was slightly angry, his face was gloomy, and he stared at the young man and said coldly: "I'm not a monkey either, don't be in a hurry to ask me, little guy, is that what your adults taught you?"
As soon as Jing Jun's words fell, the young man's face suddenly changed, his legs bent, he jumped out of the pond, hid the blood lotus behind him with his right hand, and swung the short knife in his left hand at Jing Jun, and shouted at the same time: "You are not allowed to mention my parents!"
Jing Jun reacted very quickly, knowing that things had changed from the moment the boy bent his knees, and then the boy jumped onto the shore and slashed at his neck with a short knife.
Although he could see that the boy was agile when he observed in the dark, there was no routine in his moves, and it was more like a street gangster fight, all based on excellent physical fitness.
At this time, seeing his short knife swinging, he snorted coldly, and gently pushed Mao Yanran to the side, and a wisp of electricity had already reached the young man's short knife.
The young man didn't expect that the arrival would not dodge his attack, and when the short knife was about to reach him, he hesitated slightly, this person had saved himself just now.
But before he could change his moves, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then his whole body trembled, his tense muscles trembled uncontrollably, and even more indescribable pain struck.
Jing Jun's electric shock effect was very good, and he instantly knocked the boy who attacked him to the ground, dissipating the power of electricity, and the boy who fell to the ground still couldn't help twitching, and his body bent like a prawn.
Jing Jun looked at the entire blood lotus that had fallen to the side, forcibly took the opportunity to take it for himself, sighed secretly, squatted down, and picked up the short knife in his hand.
The young man slowly stopped convulsing, but his body after being electrocuted was still out of his control, and he just stared at Jing Jun who was squatting in front of him, without saying a word.
"Say, why attack me!"
Jing Jun asked coldly.
The young man's lips pursed, and he didn't know whether he was still enduring physical pain or unwilling to answer Jing Jun, so he pursed his upper and lower lips pale and bloodless, and didn't say a word.
Jing Jun was a little depressed, what happened to this child who seemed to be fourteen or fifteen, he didn't say a word of thanks for saving him, but first asked two inexplicable questions, and then attacked again, and now he was put to the ground, and he didn't answer when asked.
For a while, he didn't know what to do with this child.
"Hey, what's the matter with you, my brother saved you just now!"
The voice was crisp, it was Mao Yanran, who had just woken up from a series of previous emergencies, and the little girl couldn't help but say loudly because she couldn't get used to the teenager's approach.
The young man tilted his head to the angry cat Yanran with some difficulty, but he still didn't say a word.
Jing Jun got up angrily, walked to the blood lotus, bent down to pick it up, and said, "Since this is the case, we will take this as your thank you gift, Yanran, let's go!"
Anyway, I'm about to go.
"Wait......"
Finally, when the young man saw that Jing Jun was about to leave with the blood lotus he had been waiting for for two days, he couldn't help but speak.
Jing Jun really didn't want to take advantage of a half-grown child, he was just disgusted by his cold attitude, and he could see that this blood lotus was of great significance to the young man, although he could vaguely guess that the blood lotus was extraordinary.
The boy struggled to do it, and the local muscles on his body would tremble from time to time, and after a while, he stood up and straightened his waist.
"That's my blood lotus! you can't take it!"
"Oh?"
Jing Jun saw that the young man mentioned the blood lotus, and he had the heart to learn more about the inside story, so he brought the blood lotus in front of him, and pretended to ask, "But if I didn't save you, you wouldn't have been able to pick it up!"
“......”
The boy's tone froze, and it was true.
"Say, why did you shoot at me?"
Jing Jun actually wanted to know why the boy suddenly attacked, if it was because he saw that he might come to snatch the blood lotus, regardless of the fact that he was his savior, it meant that the young man had a bad temperament, and if he took the blood lotus away at that time, his conscience would not be uneasy.
