Volume 2 Xuancai Mountains 129: Pigeons
The group maintained a formation conducive to battle, and kept shuttling through the forest according to the instructions of the cold guy hiding in the trees.
It was as if he could see things they couldn't see, or something higher than, and even though they were in the same situation of "atmospheric spiritual disorder", he could still methodically direct them to turn when passing by which tree to turn, and what to do after bypassing which marker.
The adventurers hurried through a low, barely lighty evergreen forest, and then a stream that flowed silently through the dark forest, and at last, the edge of the forest appeared in their field of vision.
"Oh oh oh!" The people who saw the light were especially excited, "We are finally out of the forest!" โ
"There, is that the 'end of the stone wall' that the voice said?" The adventurer lady, who was no longer desperate, was overjoyed, clutching the handle of the lantern, and wanted to rush to the bright world ahead.
Although it was still night outside the forest, the light was far more abundant than inside the forest.
"Dark Forest" lives up to its name.
"No......" Fang Nuo, who was hiding in the tree, looked a little ugly, but he didn't intend to make the strangers below realize his embarrassment.
Although he succeeded in bringing the lost humans out of the Dark Forest, he had led them into a place he was unfamiliar with.
This is not the "end of the stone wall" at all!
That's right, when he escaped from Huangxian Ridge, he didn't take the road to the end of the stone wallโotherwise, he would definitely see the stone wall first, and then enter the dark forest.
At that time, he hurriedly escaped from the Yellow Immortal guards and his brother, who was not related to him, and roughly judged the direction, but the result was indeed wrong......
This made Fang Nuo, who has always been proud, very uncomfortable: he clearly benefited a lot from this homecoming trip, how could he show that he was not as good as his previous self?
"Let me see where the hell this is......" he turned his back to the people under the tree, and pulled out the map from the witch, "Well, well, it's still in the mountains, is this the way this should go?" โ
The snow-white beast quietly turned around under the cover of the dense foliage, glancing at the chattering people below.
"I'm taking them a shortcut." Ignoring the fact that his own guidance had led people to step on many pitfalls along the way, he justified himself, "saving them time." โ
"Am I forging a new path?"
He quietly put away the map and cleared his throat softly, trying not to attract the attention of the ecstatic people below.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Fang Nuo hid the embarrassment in his heart, and turned to congratulate the adventurers who had escaped from the dark forest, "It seems that you are out of danger. โ
"Let's say goodbye here."
I should quickly separate from this group of strangers, and when they realize that there is not a "stone wall at the end" ahead, it will be too late.
Being pointed out to the face of the newly recognized life form was something worse than death for Fang Nuo, who had always adhered to the style of the Yellow Immortals, and even for every Yellow Immortal.
"Wait a minute." There was a voice from someone in the team who didn't know what was going on.
The little beast leaned down and squinted at the person who had spoken, the lady who had spoken the most in frustration before.
She has light brown shawl curls with hair that is tied back into a braid.
He was wearing a down jacket that couldn't distinguish between men and women, and he was carrying a lantern with only a glimmer of light in his hand.
"Can you tell us who you are?" He listened to the other party ask in a pleading tone, "In this way, if we have the opportunity in the future, we can come to thank you and repay your kindness." โ
If you do something wrong, you still need the gratitude of others, which is a bit too shameful.
Therefore, Fang Nuo ignored the other party.
At the same time, he was actually more interested in the unfamiliar area ahead, and he was not willing to lag behind this group of humans who didn't know the road in the forest, so he took a step ahead of them - quickly passed through the blind spot of this group of humans' vision, and ran to the unknown area outside the forest.
"He left." After waiting for a while, the bearded captain of the adventurer team reluctantly announced the fact.
"Did you leave before Sylph asked questions?" Someone in the group asked, "It's as if he had completed his mission after taking us out of the forest...... No, it's fulfilling its mission. โ
As he spoke, the tone of the human being was mixed with a bit of longing and admiration.
"Could he be the patron saint who lives in this forest?"
"Don't use your Adriel for this." The woman known as Sylph lowered the lantern, and the flame in the lamp was completely extinguished the moment it was placed on the ground.
"In my opinion......" the bearded captain clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the others.
He was the most adventurous of the group, and as soon as he spoke out, everyone would turn their eyes to him.
"He's probably not a pure-blooded human."
The bearded man had spent a few years in the Caslanao Empire, which was known for its "upper nobles were all orcs of mixed blood", and his judgment in this area was quite good.
"Even capable people like me and Sylph can't accurately perceive the right path out of the forest...... There are too many spiritual powers here, and if you are not careful, you will miss the only way out. โ
"Only a person with the blood of the beast clan flowing in his body, or other species, has the ability to distinguish each path of spiritual power and judge the correct path." He analyzed it all the way.
"But the cold, indifferent feeling he brings to us," said another member ......of the ranks, "like the nobles I have seen in the past......"
"He must have a very noble position." Human beings put aside logic, omitted analysis, and directly concluded.
As an adventurous, he will more often show his emotional side and leave behind the rational side.
His companions had long been accustomed to his problem, so they all laughed it off, and on the surface they all looked like no one cared about his words.
Secretly, someone has quietly contacted the forces to which they belong or their superiors through secret channels, and questioned those high-status people:
Are there any new mysteries in the world lately?
"White" is the main color of that guy.
At the same time, that guy also has a high level of spiritual perception, and staying in the dark forest where the terrain changes is like staying at home, and he can easily find a way out of the forest.
However, there is no other information.
At the same time, on the other side, Fang Nuo had already left the humans he had helped far behind.
Now he can use atmospheric spiritual power as a medium, and clearly perceive that the life signals in front of him are very active.
Either there is a family of demon beasts inhabited there, or it is a village similar to the "mountain village".
"Goo...... Mutter...... Goo ......"
A large white bird skimmed over his head.
It flew so low that Fang Nuo wondered if it could see that he was tired and hungry and willing to fill his stomach with a good meal.
The big bird stopped on the roadside stone not far from him, folded its wings, and stared at its blood-red eyes, and from its eyes, Fang Nuo could not see any emotion, nor could he judge any thoughts.
"Goo."
The appearance of the big bird is not similar to that of the mourning birds, and there is a certain difference between it and the silver-chin that he can transform.
Its feathers are not pure white and flawless, but on the contrary, there are a lot of variegated colors on its body surface, and the feathers are relatively tight, faintly revealing a bit of metallic luster.
The toes of large birds are bright red and look like they are covered with scales, and if they catch them, it may be painful.
"A pigeon." Fang Nuo quickly figured out the type of the other party belonged to from his knowledge base, "Is it an ordinary creature, or a demon beast?" โ
He summed up a fact from the Huang Xian family and the mourning birds, that is, the demon beast likes to play the role of a creature that has not opened its mind.
Deliberately pretending to be a fool to lower the vigilance of others and make opponents negligent...... Most demon beasts like to play tricks like this, even Fang Nuo himself when he was just starting out, and he was no exception.
"Goo." Seeing that Fang Nuo was looking at him, the pigeon's head stretched forward, but quickly retracted.
With a bang, Fang Nuo changed from a beast to a human form, and stepped in front of the stone in one step, without giving the pigeon time to react.
The silver-blue rope swarmed up with his will, one wrapped around the pigeon's claws, and the others tied to its wings, but it was not forced, for Fang Nuo had not yet decided whether to eat it or not.
"I don't eat monsters." Fang Nuo, who had turned into a human form, squatted beside the stone, pinched the pigeon's beak and lifted it up, "Give you a chance, behave well, and I'll consider whether to use you to replenish energy." โ
"Goo!"
Ah, looking at those red eyes, I feel like this bird is about to cry.
It was an expression he had never seen in mourning birds.
"You understand what I'm saying."
After saying this, Fang Nuo himself was stunned for a moment.
He had forgotten a little that he was using the language of the Yellow Immortals just now, or whether he was using the human language with a vocabulary that was not as rich as the former.
This kind of subconscious memory that he thinks is insignificant will never stay in his mind for long.
The memories of his predecessors that he had inherited from the secret realm were not, they lay quietly in his mind, not actively affecting his mind and temperament, but they were also constantly reminding him that their existence was there.
As long as he wants, he can re-read those memory fragments as he did when he entered the blue memory river, and understand what the former Beastmaster went through before he became himself.
Unfortunately, he had not been able to inherit all his memories, and the things that the Beastmaster was determined to forget would never have been a chance for him to remember.
The past can only be learned through the life forms that have a relationship with the Beastmaster in the future, and through their oral accounts or the information they have.
"Have you comprehended the ability to know the language of all things?" Although this miracle is not easy to master, there are not a few living beings who have learned it...... Maybe it's because it's so easy to use.
"Goo." The pigeons are still loading garlic.
It kept making meaningless screams in order to disguise itself as a normal creature in front of Fang Nuo.
But even in the face of an emu that has not really opened his mind, Fang Nuo can sense what the other party is thinking, so as to gain his favor and let him use it for his own use.
This pigeon behaved like this, which only made him even more suspicious.
