"What about the scarecrow?"

Shen Xingliu turned his head to look, only to find that part of the scarecrow's body had turned black.

"We don't care about it, it will wither on its own in a moment." Su Su put away the wooden sword and turned to lead the way.

Gu Feixue frowned and asked in a low voice, "What is this?" Can I move? ”

Immediately, Tang Xuanxuan and the three of them followed Su Su away, and along the way, she told her how she saved Su Su, and the two were dumbfounded.

"I've heard that in ancient times, there were people who sprinkled beans to form soldiers," Gu Feixue held his chin with one hand and analyzed: "I didn't expect that straw could also attack people." ”

Su Su's eyes lit up, "Scattering beans into soldiers? Well, in fact, there has always been a legend on the island, which has something to do with the origin of these monsters, as if the scarecrow escaped from a certain mountain..."

"When I went out to practice today, I was attacked by this monster, but fortunately my sister saved me in time, otherwise I would have become a puppet!"

There are no surprises in the world, and Shen Xingliu is no stranger to this.

He rubbed his stomach and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm hungry, Susu, haven't you arrived yet?" ”

Su Su smiled, "Soon, the front is!" ”

I saw that not far away there was a wooden house with a single door and a single courtyard, built alone in the forest.

......

Soon a quarter of an hour passed.

Ugri, who had found nothing, returned to the camp with the team.

At this time, the general was already in the tent.

Tamir and the other two knelt down in front of the tent, trying to take responsibility for the loss of the team, but the general didn't seem interested in them.

"Big Brother Wu! Big Brother Wu..."

The atmosphere in the camp was solemn to the extreme, and with the return of Ugri and the others, it was like a drop of water dripping into a hot oil pot, and the pot exploded in an instant.

"Click! Click! ”

A tall bull-headed lieutenant walked out of the tent and shouted in a deep voice: "By the general's order, remove Ugri's weapons!" Take! ”

Immediately, on both sides of the tent door, two minotaurs stepped forward with black faces.

"Slow!" Ugri let out a loud shout.

The lieutenant was condescending and stretched out his finger, "You dare to disobey the order?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!"

Ugri's right hand turned into a fist, knocked it on his chest, lowered his head and said, "Subordinates come by themselves!" ”

Ugri, who had all his weapons gone, was then tied up.

......

In the central tent, a middle-aged man wearing animal skin sat on a large seat.

The man's exposed skin was covered with scars, even the pair of horns.

In the left corner, the tip of the horn is missing.

At this time, he was resting on the armrest with his eyes closed, his left hand on his cheek.

Ugri was taken to the tent, knelt on one knee, and bowed: "Subordinate Ugri to meet the general." ”

"Ugri! Are you guilty? ”

The general's eyes hadn't opened yet, but the killing intent had already come out of his body, making people shudder.

"Subordinate convicted!"

Ugri lowered his head and pleaded: "The responsibility for this crime is all on his subordinates, and I also ask the general to spare the brothers under his subordinates who have no merit on weekdays and have hard work." ”

"Poof!"

The general suddenly opened his eyes, and the invisible power overwhelmed the entire camp so that they did not dare to raise their heads.

Fortunately, such a power is only for a moment, otherwise I don't know how many people will faint again.

"Ugri! It stands to reason that you shouldn't make such a mistake with your ability! The general straightened up and said in a deep voice:

"After all, you are the son of that guy, although he was removed from the royal family, the blood in your bones still does not allow you to lose!"

Ugri's eyes moved, and he smiled bitterly: "The general of the defeated army, Ugri has nothing to say..."

"There's nothing to say, come on, take him..."

The lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward to intercede: "The general is angry, he is your nephew after all!" ”

"The general is angry!"

At this time, thousands of people in the entire camp knelt on the ground and pleaded for mercy.

"Humph! Whew..."

"Ugri's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped," the general gritted his teeth and said, "Someone! Beat him with three hundred sticks, remove him from all military duties, and drive him out of the battalion! ”

The ghost lamp clan has rough skin and thick meat, and it will pass after boiling the military stick, but removing the name of the warrior is tantamount to cutting off the head.

"General..."

The captain still wanted to persuade a few words, but he heard the general snort coldly: "Whoever dares to intercede again, the same punishment as him!" ”

Ugri knew that he could not escape the blame and that he was fortunate to be able to save his life, so he fell to his knees, slammed his head on the ground, and said in a loud voice:

"Thank you for the general's grace not to kill! General, take care! ”

Then Ugri knocked his head three more times, and was taken down and punished.

After a while, there was the sound of a stick carrying the wind outside the tent, and the crisp sound of the stick falling on the flesh.

The general sat in his seat, covering his face with his hands, unable to see joy or sorrow, but the blow of the stick seemed to hit him in the heart.

When there was no movement outside, a minotaur who was enforcing the law immediately reported in the account: "General, Ugri, he has received one hundred and fifty rods, and has fainted to death, do you want to continue the torture?" ”

The general did not speak, still covering his face with his hands.

"General, you can't fight anymore," the captain hurriedly persuaded, "Even if my Ghost Lantern Clan has a strong physique, three hundred sticks is too much. ”

"Well, so be it," said the general, in a somewhat hoarse voice, "drive Ugri out of the camp and never use it again!" ”

The captain's face was overjoyed, and then he received the order and walked out of the camp quickly.

......

About half an hour later, in an abandoned temple.

"Captain Hart, you can just put me here..." Ugri, who had already woken up, was dressed in animal skins and said extremely weakly.

Hart let out a long sigh, "I didn't mean you, Brother Ugri, why are you doing this?" If you say two good words, how can you make it like this? ”

Despite the complaints, Hart leaned him gently against the pillar in the temple.

"Shhh

Perhaps because the action was too big and the wound was touched, Ugri's face twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "The army has military law, and if we make mistakes, we should be punished." ”

"Captain, go back first, after all, the second uncle only gave you half an hour."

Hart shook his head, took out a porcelain vase from his bosom, handed it to Ugri, and said with a smile:

"You uncles and nephews, obviously care about each other in their hearts, but they pretend not to admit it, wait, I'll go and make a fire!"

With that, Hart leaned Ugri's bone knife aside and strode out of the temple gate to collect firewood.

Ugri clutched the porcelain vase, and there was a hint of indescribable emotion in his heart.

"Click!"

The sparks from the collision of flints instantly lit up the main hall.

This is a temple of the god of war, the god of war is the only god believed in by the ghost lantern clan, but thousands of years have passed, and the head of this god statue has disappeared.

After lighting a fire, Hart bowed down in front of the idol.

"Come on, let me see your injuries."

Hart came to Ugri's side, opened the animal skin and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh: "These killers are really ruthless." ”

Ugri smiled lightly, "Military law is like a mountain, and they can't be blamed for this." ”

"Ahh You've been kicked out of the barracks, where do you want to go next? ”

As he spoke, Hart sprinkled the powder in the porcelain bottle evenly on the wound on Ugri's back, which was based on the ghost lamp fruit and added several secret medicines, which can be described as a "healing holy product".

"Let's go home first,"

After bandaging, Ugri put on his clothes, "After all, I haven't been back for a long time." ”

Hart nodded and quipped: "Then you live a good life, maybe in two days, and when the general's anger is gone, he will call you back." ”

"You... Can you tell me why the general kicked me out of the barracks? ”

Hart smiled bitterly: "This... How would I know? The general has his own reasons for this. ”

But judging from his stumbling appearance, it is clear that there is something unspeakable.

"Well, I'll go back first. Take care! ”

......

Inside a cabin in the woods.

The wooden house looks small, but the living utensils inside are very complete.

At this time, the three of them were sitting cross-legged on the floor around the hearth, and there was a pot on the stove, cooking wild vegetable porridge.

Su Su came from outside the house and smiled, "I'm sorry, there's nothing good to eat at home, you eat this!" ”

As he spoke, he sent the fruit in the bamboo basket, which had a peculiar appearance and resembled a lantern.

"This is..."

Tang Xuanxuan pinched out a fruit, looked at it for a moment, and her eyes lit up, "Is this a ghost lamp fruit?" ”

"Sister, do you even know about this kind of fruit?" Su Su asked curiously.

Ghost lantern fruit grows in the south and north of the north, and the names are different in different places, such as sour pulp, lantern grass, lantern fruit, roselle beads and so on.

But the most familiar name is the ghost lamp fruit, when the night fire shines on the fruit, because its leaves are thin like ghost lamps.

But those fruits can only produce three leaves, but this fruit has four.

"Hmm, sweet and sour..." Shen Xingliu and Gu Feixue couldn't wait, so they each opened a fruit and threw it into their mouths to taste it carefully.

Tang Xuanxuan threw a roll of the eyes at the two of them, and then said: "This fruit can clear away heat and detoxify, and the nutritional value is extremely high. ”

"Hey, is there still so much use?" Su Su listened in a daze, only knowing that their clan's favorite fruit seemed to sound very powerful.

"Ghost lights? Isn't that the name of your clan..."

Gu Feixue smacked his mouth, and wanted to take another one, but was glared at by Tang Xuanxuan, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and said softly: "I, did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Su Su raised his little head, then smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Well, it's okay, I'm used to it..."

"Actually, Brother Feixue, you're right, the ghost lamp is the name of our clan, maybe I'm not their clan."

The Ghost Lantern clan has fed on this fruit for generations, and even the clan name is called "Ghost Lantern".

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there were not only four-leaf ghost lantern fruits, but also five-leaf and six-leaf ones, and the more leaves there were, the greater their function, and the smaller the relative number.

"And I also know that there is a holy fruit in the clan that has eight leaves!" Su Su stretched out eight fingers and said with some smugness.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Is there really such a fruit? Starstream we have found! Got it! ”

The three of them tilted their heads, not understanding why Tang Xuanxuan was so excited, and Shen Xingliu seemed to react after a while.

"Is that the Nine-Winged Eggplant Emperor?" Shen Xingliu couldn't help but blurt out that Tang Xuanxuan had only mentioned it to him once.

Tang Xuanxuan's face flushed and nodded.

"But it's missing a wing, is it still useful?" Shen Xingliu was a little worried, "After all, Miao'an's illness can't tolerate a little slip-up." ”

After hearing the conversation between the two, Su Su and Gu Feixue suddenly realized that the leaves wrapped in the fruit, and the shape after peeling it off was really like wings.
