Chapter 15: I'll Try [Seeking to Follow]
When Lu Fei arrived at the meeting place, he stood beside the group of little demons and looked at the approaching crow monster and the little pig demon's red-skinned appearance of hooking shoulders and whispering, and couldn't help asking, "What did you two say?" ”
The crow monster was startled, and when he looked up, he found the place, looked at Lu Fei's gaze, and said with a somewhat sneering face: "It's nothing, the bear leader is going to speak, let's not talk about it anymore, we can't make the mistake of last time..."
Hearing the crow's strange words, Lu Fei was stunned, if it weren't for the fact that this guy's expression was a little unnatural, he thought he had heard it wrong.
That kind of unnatural, dodgy gaze, like being caught red-handed by saying bad things about people behind your back.
Lu Feihu looked at the crow monster suspiciously a few more times, but in the end he didn't ask, because the leader of the bear demon in front of the team spoke.
"Three days have passed..."
With red eyes, a height of more than two meters, and a sturdy body, the bear demon stared at the demons under his command with violent eyes and said, "Today is the day of the acceptance task, let me see which guys have not been completed..."
As soon as the words fell.
Immediately, a little demon shouted below: "Leader, we are done, please accept it..."
"We're done too, please check it out..."
"And we..."
A group of little demons scrambled to shout.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the little demons under his command, the bear leader smiled fiercely on his face with scars and scars, and said: "Don't worry, come one by one, no one can run..."
Soon, the first to be accepted was the task of making fifty guns, which was completed by three little demons.
After watching the three little demons run away quickly, the three bundles of guns that they didn't know where to carry were placed in front of the bear leader.
The crow monster standing behind the demon group had a worried face and reached out and quietly stabbed Lu Fei in front of him, and said very quietly: "Bai Mao, we have too many arrows to take at once..."
Glancing at the face of the crow monster behind him, Lu Fei comforted: "It's okay, don't talk for a while, I'll say..."
Hear Lu Fei's words.
The worries on the red faces of the crow monster and the pig demon behind him were significantly eased.
"The first, the second, the third, the fourth..."
The bear leader stood aside, and a large gray-haired rat with a mouse's head was counting the barrels of his gun.
For a group of monsters who don't know what to read, being able to read and count is definitely a popular skill, whether it is in Langlang Mountain or other mountain demon groups, it can basically be reused.
However, in the process of increasing the strength of the monsters.
As long as they live long enough and have enough experience, some problems that basically involve simple math will not be difficult for them.
Just like people who have never read a book, it is a truth that they can calculate how much money they have when they buy something.
But at the bottom, especially in the group of demons that are rapidly upgrading, except for some intelligent monsters who can be born to know numbers, or live for a long time and have more experience, there are basically no other people who can recognize numbers.
Obviously, this gray-haired rat spirit that was counting the barrels of the gun was one of the two types of youkai.
"The forty-seventh, the forty-eighth, the fiftieth..."
The gray-haired mouse counted to the end, looked at the extra gun, and then looked at the bear leader on the side and said, "Report to the leader, there are a total of fifty guns, and there is one more." ”
The bear leader's eyes were drawn to the black-robed white wolf leader who appeared above the mountain.
At this time, when he heard the report of the gray-haired rat spirit, he turned his head, glanced at a bunch of guns on the ground with uneven length and shortness, and then looked at the rat spirit and said, "You didn't count wrong, right?" ”
Rat Spirit: "Report to the Chief, no." ”
Only then did the bear leader look at the three little demons with nervous eyes on the side and said, "Your task is complete." ”
"Next..."
Saying that, the bear demon pointed to the rat spirit and said, "Grayskin, you continue to count..."
"Yes, Chief..."
Hearing the bear leader's command, the rat spirit glanced at the surrounding demons with an extremely proud face, then raised his head and walked to several bows and arrows, and began to count: "The first, the second, the third..."
Look at the rat spirit who is in the limelight among the demons.
The crow monster saw it in his eyes and said with great jealousy: "When did this guy Grayskin have such a good relationship with the leader?" ”
"He also let him take on the important task of counting, he is not as good at counting as me..."
Hearing the words of the crow monster behind him full of jealousy and sour water, Lu Fei spoke: "Didn't you say that you can't count?" ”
The Raven immediately retorted, "Of course I count. ”
Lu Fei: "Then I asked you to help me count arrows last time, why do you say no?" ”
The crow monster immediately showed a trace of embarrassment and shame on his face, but he had too many feathers on his face to see it, so he quibbled: "I... I tend to get nervous when I count, and when I'm nervous, I get the wrong count..."
Just speaking of which.
The crow monster suddenly remembered that Lu Fei had counted fifteen hundred arrows in the bamboo forest very easily, and that was fifteen hundred!
At this time, the crow monster, who realized his partner's talent in counting, began to become excited at the speed of his eyes, and was about to open his mouth to ask a good question, when he looked up, he saw his partner's handsome white wolf head and a pair of yellow eyes that seemed to be forever indifferent staring at him.
The excitement calmed down instantly.
As if he had guessed what the crow monster wanted to say, Lu Fei said: "Counting is innate, speak quietly." ”
The crow monster no longer cared about Lu Fei's prediction of his problem at this time, but suppressed his voice and said excitedly: "White hair, I think you can tell the bear leader that your counting ability is stronger than that gray-skinned guy, let him let you count..."
"Oh..."
Lu Fei, who had just watched the whole process of counting the rat essence, of course knew that the gray-skinned rat essence had limited ability.
Fifty guns can count fifty-one and a half bucket of water, no, it's worse than half a bucket of water.
Kindergarten children can count the numbers from one to one hundred.
However, no other monsters debunked him, and Lu Fei didn't bother to speak.
It's just that trapped by the original owner's limited knowledge, Lu Fei doesn't know the importance of counting in the demon group.
At this time, I heard the raven monster talk about it, so I asked, "Is this any good?" ”
Hearing that Lu Fei was interested, the crow monster immediately excitedly popularized science: "Benefits... The benefits are huge, you know, our bear leader doesn't know how to count..."
Speaking of which, the Raven Monster's voice was exceptionally quiet.
"If you go and count the number for the leader, then our future tasks will be much easier, and the leader will not hand over difficult tasks to you, so that you don't have to patrol and run all over the mountains every day on such a hot day..."
"Also, with your ability to count the white hair, you may be valued by the commanders, and you may be valued by the king..."
"Anyway, as long as you can count the leader, you will be much safer in the mountains, and most importantly, you can take care of the two of us..."
The crow monster said and pulled the little pig demon redskin on the side.
Redskin immediately pecked at rice and nodded hurriedly.
Facing the expectant gaze of the two partners.
Lu Fei was silent for a while and then nodded: "I'll try..."
