Chapter Seventy-Eight: Singing in the White Forest
After Lai Weng handed out some tools to everyone, everyone set off in a long line. Outside, it was still white, the cold wind was howling, the air conditioning was pressing, and it was very difficult to walk. Looking at the boundless white, Deng Ke couldn't help but think of the scene where he and Legus had trekked on it, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour. He looked up and saw that Legus was walking with Lyon, both of them were from the cold mountains, with blue blood and pale faces. Dengke lowered his head, his heart was like a knife, he should have walked with Legus! But he wanted to hide at the back of the group, he wanted to stay away from Legus as much as possible, so that Legus would gradually go away until he was completely forgotten.
After walking for a short distance, a large white forest appeared in the vast snow-capped mountains.
Lai Weng pointed to the front and said to everyone, "This is it, White Forest." In the entire White Snow Mountain, only here has the most wild beasts and the most abundant plants. Be careful when you go in, and whistle when you see a big beast, and hunt it with your spear and arrows when you see a small beast, and then tie it with the rope that I have given you, and put it in a sack. If it's full, blow the whistle, and someone will come and take the prey away and get you a new bag. If you are in danger, you have to blow the whistle, and someone will come to the rescue immediately. He seemed to have spoken specifically to the people of Dengke. "Plus, we're going to collect some plants. After a while, I will divide everyone into small groups, and each group will have a person who can identify the plants, so that we can collect edible plants in the shortest possible time. There is also a special collection of wood energy people. Okay, now I'm going to group them. ”
Lai Weng divided the Lengshan people into a group of three or five, and instructed them to go into the forest first. After that, he divided himself and Tuno's family together, and Xiao Nan and Dengke were separated together.
"None of our group will recognize plants. Tu Shen looked at Deng Ke sympathetically and felt that such a division was unreasonable, so he found a reason. Everyone else, except for Sting, was also dissatisfied.
"Xiao Nan can recognize, I asked her. Lai Weng explained.
"Then I don't think it's reasonable, we don't have anyone here who is familiar with the situation in the forest. Tushen stood up, "Let me divide it, come to Weng." Just let the lights ......"
Deng Ke grabbed Tu Shen back.
"It's unreasonable, I think it's quite reasonable. Let's go. With that, he walked alone towards the forest. Xiao Nan and a few people had to follow.
"Let's go too. Legus smiled, turned and walked towards the White Forest.
The white forest was dimly lit and unusually silent, and was full of tall and stout towering trees. The cold air swirled through the trees, and as far as the eye could see, it was only possible to see the scenery within 10 meters. Dengke walked absentmindedly, looking around, trying to sneak in the figure of Legus. But except for a few people, he couldn't see any signs of people.
"Hey, look!" After walking a short distance, Tushen found several small hairballs under the roots of a tree, and when he heard Tushen's shouting, they immediately scattered and fled. Xiao Nan's eyes were fast, the arrows were off the string, and the three small hairballs squeaked a few times and stopped moving.
"Put them all in a bag. Xiao Nan gave an order to Tu Shen and continued to search for prey. Tushen walked over with pity, gently lifted a small hair ball, caressed it a few times and respectfully put it back on the ground, and buried the dead little creatures with snow, while muttering a few words in his mouth. He stood up and walked over to Xiao Nan, stopping her arrow from leaving.
"Sister Xiaonan, don't kill these little animals. Let's just collect plants. ”
"Hmph!" Xiao Nan smiled bitterly and bowed, "Is hunting still called hunting if you don't kill animals? they are originally for food, and besides, we won't kill them all, and their population will grow again in two days." As she spoke, she raised her arrow and shot another slightly larger animal. The few people in Deng Ke were very uncomfortable looking at the black blood soaked in snow, but Xiao Nan didn't care about putting the animal carcass into her cloth bag. "If you want to survive, you can only do this. As she spoke, she walked into the depths of the forest.
"Okay, Toshen, we will never participate in such cruel activities again. Deng Ke comforted Tu Shen, who was crying, and Tu Shen wiped away his tears and ran angrily towards the forest. Lamp Kirstine and Yasi hurriedly chased after them, and before they knew it, they were chasing them deep into the forest. The light here is darker, the trees are denser, and the yin air is so quiet that you can hear your heartbeat. Deng Ke looked at the towering branches and sensed the strangeness of the environment. He looked up suddenly, and just as he expected, both Stine and Yasz were gone. He looked around in a panic, and suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the mist, and he immediately moved his gaze there. When he looked closely, a huge black shadow was rushing towards him, and the lamp instinctively ducked behind the tree next to him, and the black shadow landed on the ground and turned out to be a fierce beast with a sharp mouth and fangs. Deng Ke held his breath, his brain went blank, and he just stared at the beast in dismay. As soon as the beast shook its head, he flashed his fangs and slammed into Dengke, who was too frightened to move at this time, but watched the beast's fangs stab towards his chest. At the last moment, a flash of blue light flashed, and the beast fell in front of the lamp. At the same time, Deng Ke sat on the snow with his feet limp and collapsed. A woman appeared in the void, holy and elegant, like a dream. The face is beautiful and serene, a white gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, ruddy cheeks, and smiling lips. She stood on the snow with her feet as if she had no weight, and there were no footprints.
Deng Ke looked at her in amazement, and immediately forgot his fear. Everything is pure and beautiful, the winter is no longer cold, the sun is shining, and the earth is warm. Even the beast became tame, bowed its head obediently, and walked back to its lair.
"Thank you, who are you?" said Lamp Ke stood up and looked up in inquiry.
The woman blinked mysteriously and began to sing loudly, her voice ethereal, as if coming from the sky.
"The Milky Way of St. Roda poured down through the sky of Biniwa,
brought the moon of the Cinning Immortal to the branches of the Green Field.
Darkness fell, and moonlight filled the land.
The stars also fell asleep, blinking their eyes to light the way home.
The white clouds turned into scattered snowflakes,
Falling all over the rolling hills.
Flowers melt into the spring mud,
Fragrant on both sides of the Tuba River.
The river is filled with violet juice and pours honeydew into the vast countryside,
It rushed into the heart of the Lost Forest like the blood of the earth.
After a hundred years of circulation,
Sprayed into a sea of purple,
Knocking on the shores of the millennium,
Waiting for the lost people who have risen to the lonely boat to bring back the light. ”
The singing gradually faded away, and Deng Ke was already in a trance, and when he came to his senses, the singing woman was gone. Surrounded by stout cascading ancient trees, the air is cold and biting, and the atmosphere is eerie, and the gloom is a sign of potential danger. Lamp Ke leaned against a tree, calmed down, and suddenly remembered the wind whistle that Lai Weng had given them. He quickly took him out and put it to his lips, and before he could start blowing, a rich fragrance wafted by, and he immediately fainted to the ground. (To be continued.) )
