The silence of June, the summer is deepening, especially near the silent river, the forest is dense and the wind is light, and the water vapor is steaming, so that this stuffy atmosphere is stagnant in the forest, which makes people more and more irritated.

The scourge didn't sleep well at night and had a bad temper.

Buck and Edamame had just two brief exchanges in front of the bushes before a threatening whine erupted in the scourge camp. There were several sounds that made Buck subconsciously clamp his tail.

"Honestly, lie on your stomach and don't move!"

Buck glared at the gray dog in front of him viciously, and sent a thought: "Dare to move and bite you to death!"

The puppy looked at Buck with an innocent face, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to meow twice.

The Nightwatchman's eyes were quick, and he picked up a short wooden stick from the ground and thrust it into the Greyhound's mouth with a pop.

"Quiet!"

It warned again with its eyes.

Edamame finally gave up his plan to meow twice and lay on the ground obediently. An oil gourd flipped over a stack of damp fallen leaves and climbed onto the tail of the edamame, and the gray dog swept through the corner of his eye, and with a flick of the tail, the little worm was smoked into a meat puree.

Buck stared at the bug on the tip of the dog's tail and hesitated for a few seconds.

While almost no scourge meows, but what if?

What if this guy was raised by a cat? What if he was very good at foreign languages? What if he just had an uncomfortable voice and a thin voice? The stories that the old scourge had told Buck around the lava pit came to his mind one by one, but the scourge in those stories was raised by wolves and learned to howl wolves.

Once this kind of speculation comes to mind, it is difficult to suppress it.

Buck wandered around the clearing for several laps, and finally made up his mind, slipped into a small mud puddle at the edge of the clearing, and with his front paws, he dug out a piece of charcoal that still had a dark red sheen.

This is the reward for its duty tonight.

Buck flicked his tail, the tip of his forked tail like a sharp fork, and easily forked the piece of charcoal and lifted it up to the dusty dog.

The greyhound tilted his head back subconsciously, as if trying to avoid the red-hot coals.

Buck breathed a sigh of relief, and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. It saved its snack, and successfully confirmed the identity of the greyhound in front of it.

But before the joy had passed, the greyhound winked at it, opened his mouth, and swallowed the coal.

"Meow~!"

It burped comfortably, and spewed a puff of sparks from its mouth.

Buck watched in a daze as the sparks slowly dissipated in the humid air, and the tail hanging in mid-air was like a reed in a pond after autumn, swaying in the night wind, full of sadness.

......

......

Edamame naturally does not have the bloodline of scourge.

As a dog with a hint of Tindarus blood, Edamame is slightly inferior to a real Tindarus Hound in terms of ferocity and stubbornness, but far more than a real Tyndalus Hound in terms of intelligence and cleverness.

Although he has not been enlightened for a long time, Edamame has learned countless hunting techniques through the hundreds of clones that are densely packed in the gaps of time and space, such as tracking, such as lurking, such as hunting, and then camouflage.

Camouflage is a profound science.

True disguise is not to learn what to be like, but to be what you want to be.

For example, if Edamame wants to be a scourge now, then it must be like a real scourge, like fire, hate water vapor, and be able to devour charcoal fire and pull out dung fire.

The first two points are easy to achieve, just show closeness to fire and disgust with water vapor. The last two points are slightly more difficult. Just like the charcoal fire that edamame swallowed just now, it used its innate ability to move the charcoal to the gap between time and space, and it didn't really eat it in its stomach.

As for the dung fire, Scourge doesn't have to defecate every day, so for a day or two, edamame is still very safe.

The moon is getting darker.

Like a stone sculpture, the night watchman of the scourge group stood behind a bush in a daze, staring at the dark forest and wandering out of the world. Next to the night watchman, the greyhound has its eyes closed and its tail curled, but its ears stand up high.

Not long ago, when it traveled through the cracks of time and space, tracking the traces of those snake owners, it accidentally captured a small piece of future time and space.

In the picture, a black figure floats in mid-air, waving his hand, and spilling a spark of fire, burning a large area of forest. In the flames, a group of scourge howled happily, jumping up and down the cairns of the flames, respectfully prostrate at the feet of the black figure.

Its keen sense of smell told it that the black figure was the owner of the snakes it had sniffed.

And those scourges are a clear clue.

Just follow this clue and it will not be difficult to find your goal.

The Silent Forest is huge, and although Scourge is a rare magical creature, there are many populations. But this can't help but have a doppelganger. Its figure leaps and shuttles through the gaps in time and space, and its clones are all over the camp of every group of scourge in the forest.

The one in front of Buck was just one of its many eyes.

But it's the luckiest one.

Because when the moonlight turned from thick to dark and gradually set in the treetops, two unfamiliar voices suddenly sounded in the forest.

It was the voice of two witches talking.

"These guys in the Silent Forest were born to fight in the dark, and they have no education at all...... They have not been corrected by the gardener in the school. What kind of beautiful flowers can grow from seeds that take root and sprout in the humus layer and in the cracks of stones?"

"We're going to gather more troops...... And not the beast. ”

The first witch's voice was crisp and fast, "You've been on the island for so long, do you know which clans are easier to woo? ”

"You, you've been on the island longer. The second witch's voice was a little hoarse, and at first it sounded like a radio that had been broken for a long time and had a bad signal, but the more you listened, the more you could perceive a certain hoarse charm hidden in the hissing sound, which was fascinating.

Edamame is not a wizard, so naturally he can't hear the charm in that hustle.

But it's a dog, and it's easy to catch the familiar scent in the air.

The master of the snake molt.

It was in the midst of those two voices.

The dog silently opened its mouth, delivering a message to the clones scattered around the Silent Forest. Its erected ears grew straighter, and its previously closed eyelids opened suddenly, shimmering a palpitating pale green in the dark woods.

Hearing her companion's rebuttal, the first witch was visibly silent.

"I've been on the island longer than you. Her tone softened a little: "But I was staying at school, on campus. A few times out of school, the last time I was unlucky...... Reduced to this point. ”

"I, too, are the same. ”

The second voice replied.
