Volume 1 26: Edge
Fang Nuo is very good at fake death.
When he played hide-and-seek in the woods of the family's hunting grounds, if he wasn't the one who played the ghost, he would definitely be the winner.
Find a random crevice under a tree or in a rocky beach, shrink himself into a ball, and slow down the rate of his breathing, and he can hide there all day with the cranky thoughts in his mind.
It was not until the elders who had gone out early in the morning had returned with their prey, and his brother had been sent to find him over and over again, that he crawled out of his hideout, yawned, and pretended to be nothing to do.
The woods on a winter night were very suitable for his appearance, and Fang Nuo, who was cowering under the trees and pretending to be just a stone covered with snow, held his breath for a long time, and finally, there were no more monsters passing by him, and the sound of mixed footsteps gradually faded away, and the ground may not have trembled for a long time.
Fang Nuo carefully relaxed his control of his spiritual power, then took a deep breath, rolled over and stretched his limbs, and then ran in the direction he had been going back and forth without the slightest hesitation.
Instead of meeting them at the outskirts of the forest, as he and the mourning birds had said, he made a desperate run towards the center of the forest, as if he wanted to satisfy his curiosity more than his life.
However, as he passed through a slightly familiar landscape somewhere, Fang Nuo slowed down.
Not long ago, it was in this redwood forest that the giant bear with a human face killed the plant monsters who spoke out to refute his plot, and then ordered the other monsters he frightened to hunt down the "stranger" hiding in the trees.
At this moment, under the tree where the beasts had gathered, there was no demon beast in sight, only the box full of glowing treasures made of red spiritual power was still quietly placed there.
There are no guards, and there don't seem to be any traps nearby.
It's a very suspicious scenario without even thinking about it.
Fang Nuo could feel that the evil aura surrounding the giant bear had not drifted away, it was still lingering around it, and perhaps the other party was hiding behind a redwood tree—the trunks of these huge plants were so thick that a bear was only a little larger than an adult human male, and there was more than enough space behind the tree.
However, Fang Nuo was not afraid of him.
Compared to the mirror fragments that could harm him, the "life and death" with his clansmen, the prey that escaped from his hunting operations, and the unknown threats that were sealed in a carrier and wanted to escape at any time, Fang Nuo did not receive a "malicious value increase prompt" about the giant bear in the process of carrying out his thoughts.
This amazed him.
While considering the existence or non-existence of the "personal suppression" factor behind this phenomenon, he mustered up the courage to gamble his own life to find out.
In addition to his interest in the attitude of the giant bear and the desire to explore the limitations of his own abilities, the "Beastmaster Relic" in the spiritual power treasure chest is also a major reason.
Just by crouching down on the treetops and watching them from afar, he felt an inexplicable attraction emanating from those treasures.
Moreover, it is not "greed".
But it was like a voice whispering in his ear: "I/We are destined for you." ”
For Huang Xian, the meaning of "fate" is extraordinary.
Just like a predetermined fate, once you perceive it, you must do your best to grasp it, no matter what kind of future this "fate" will lead you to.
Those peers in the clan, when they were engaged in the sealing activities, should also rely on their own feelings to find the destined person, but they were unfortunately picked up by the witch, which can be regarded as bumping into a "bad fate".
It was "Yuan" who took the initiative to come to the door before, but this time, he should have caught "Yuan" by himself...... It's just that the difficulty seems to be 100 million points.
In addition to these three, there is also one that provokes Fang Nuo's interest, which is the giant bear's ability to "understand the language".
There was not a single Yellow Immortal who would not be interested in such an existence, this ability overlapped with their family skills, and those elders in the family would even feel in danger because of the appearance of this demon beast.
Fang Nuo was eager to figure out the origin of this ability—was it innate? Was it given by the "Beastmaster Relic"? Or did you naturally comprehend it after swallowing more spiritual power and elevating your personality?
"We always make excuses for our greed, little one, are you too?"
Fang Nuo, who had a lot of thoughts in his mind, stayed under the tree not far away, and had a stalemate with the hiding "treasure chest keeper" for a long time, and finally, the other party was the first to feel impatient, so he spoke in a mocking tone.
The human-faced bear slowly stepped out from behind a tree in the blind spot of Fanno's vision, and it actually appeared that from the moment Fangnuo ran back into the woods, he could notice the little beast and launch a sneak attack.
"You've been staring at my treasure." The giant bear, whose lower limbs landed like a human, spread his hands to indicate his discovery, "This is normal, the monsters invited here are all watching them with greedy eyes. ”
However, they know how to control their greed...... They care more about their lives than they do about satisfying their desires. ”
"So......" he sighed as he looked around, "they probably won't be coming back...... Well, I found an excuse to let them go, and I wish they would realize that. ”
Under the cover of night, Fang Nuo slowly moved out of the hiding place that had already been exposed, and straightened up, as if trying to close the gap between the two.
"You ......"
Fang Nuo felt his teeth chattering, it was ridiculous, there was no fear in his heart, but his instinct kept warning him, saying:
You're in a dangerous situation right now!
The giant bear in front of him was far less terrifying than the 17 demon beasts in the witch's hut, Fang Nuo shook his head, trying to let his true feelings overcome his instinct as a weakling.
"Hey," he was supposed to enjoy the feeling of being able to talk freely, without having to think about what kind of body voice to use to make the other person understand him, and he didn't have to put his expectations in vain, "Why are you-"
"—can you speak a language that all monsters can understand at the same time?"
His statement is very straightforward.
It was really embarrassing, Fang Nuo couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had to admit that he had invested a little expectation in "how the other party would reply...... For this bloodthirsty, indiscriminate killing, and doing some pickled things that he despises, there is a little more expectation.
Compared to this stupid beast, his weakness is the real sin in this forest, so Fang Nuo is eager to strengthen his existing skills and learn more about "abilities".
"Don't you run away...... Giant Bear couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he saw that the demon beasts that appeared were really only such a small group, "Your appearance, could it be that you are from the Yellow Immortal clan on the other side of the mountain?" ”
"Wait a minute...... he took the initiative to take a few steps back, reducing the effect of the smell of blood on the snow-white beast he carried, "I heard that something has gone wrong over there recently. ”
"Huh?"
What happened to Huangxian Ling? Could it be that in addition to himself, there are other little yellow fairies who participated in the sealing activities, and they have also been picked up by other "witches" and taken home?
Could it be that there are really ten witches in the mountains?
The villagers of Mountain Village seem to have mentioned that the outside world is "hunting witches", but they are talking about the world beyond the mountains.
