Chapter 8: The Taste of Instinct

At sunset, the forest, the endless darkness crept up.

Lin Bingling also didn't expect that with his own speed, he didn't find He Qixuan before sunset, and the mark he left on his body showed that his direction was not wrong. But Rao is like this, she still didn't see He Qixuan's figure.

As night fell, Lin Bingling glanced at the fading light above his head, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Why is this guy so fast, and he seems to be heading towards that black area." ”

She stopped, wrapping herself tightly in the ice, the ice wall was extremely hard, and even if something unexpected happened, she could have a safe environment in case of danger.

The temperature in the forest is very different from the city full of steel and concrete, especially the recent cold wave has come violently, and the temperature can even reach below zero in the middle of the night, but she is friendly to the ice element, and her body has adapted to the cold, and the attack of the cold wave is a great blessing for the ice elemental affinity, she will be wrapped in her ice cube and hang high, like a spider web.

In the ice cube, the energy in her body will recover a few percent faster than when she is outside, and when the frost hangs in the morning, she will be able to recover again.

She boasted that although her speed was not outstanding among her peers, she could also have a place in the upstream, and now she was fiercely educated by a seemingly fledgling guy, which couldn't help but make her grit her teeth: "Don't let me catch you!" ”

But she is not convinced, her curiosity about He Qixuan has become stronger and stronger, He Qixuan has brought her too many doubts in this short period of time, he is like a newly produced alien, no matter what, it is arousing her curiosity.

If it weren't for his controversial words, if it weren't for his gaze looking into the depths of the forest after hearing the return, Lin Bingling would definitely not acquiesce to him coming alone.

And He Qixuan's strength told her that she couldn't look at this guy with the same eyes as before, so she had a little more love for the talented person in her heart, but thinking that they would part ways after that, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Originally, before leaving, He Qixuan signed a life and death waiver agreement with her, this agreement allowed Lin Bingling not to catch He Qixuan so desperately, but she felt that if she didn't catch him, she might regret it for a long time, this is a very inexplicable emotion, there is no reason, but in the dark she will feel that she has to do this, like an inevitability in accident, this feeling makes her more and more sure in her heart that He Qixuan is not as good as it seems.

And when He Qixuan took the initiative to talk to Lin Bingling about the exemption agreement, she already had a guess that he would take the initiative to leave the team, but she was a little reluctant to him, after all, there are many talented players, but there are very few like him, so she said to him that night that there will be no one left behind, who can not fall behind in speed under the disparity in strength, even those with speed-type abilities cannot be so arrogant.

There is a limit to the human body, not the ability can grow indefinitely, some people will not be able to practice in life, and some people are born with cultivation seedlings, but they will also fall into the crowd.

Lin Bingling's own strength is very strong, and she can be said to be alone in the team, and even outstanding among the geniuses of Tianjing Academy, but when she saw the scenery in the lake, and the miserable and strange image of the mountains and forests when she followed He Qixuan's footsteps along the way, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, she didn't know how a person who didn't even have the strength of the second order could raise the courage to walk on this deformed road full of corpses, but Lin Bingling was sure that He Qixuan would not be stupid enough to take such a big risk to shake the tree. He must have his own hole cards.

No matter what, Lin Bingling finally followed the decision in his heart, whether He Qixuan promised that he would definitely come out when he left, or he secretly took the unused blood container bottle, it made Lin Bingling even more determined to find him.

She remembered what her mentor had said, the biggest characteristic of a talented talent is that he is not good at hiding his clumsiness, because he will always reveal his talent intentionally or unintentionally, and a player who is good at hiding clumsy and extremely talented is not called a talented player, but a roll king.

At that time, Lin Bingling's face was full of black lines, and she was only warned by her mentor that as long as she didn't die, she would roll to death.

But now that she thinks about it, there is some truth to it, so she is sure that He Qixuan is indeed the talented type, and the temperament that Ruo Ruowu exudes is different from that of her peers proves that her guess is extremely correct.

The cold wave came one after another in October, and when the day was bright, He Qixuan saw that the leaves not far away were covered with frost, and the water accumulated in the potholes was a little ice slag at the moment, and the surrounding water vapor was dissipating the only remaining heat very quickly, He Qixuan wrapped his clothes more tightly and rubbed his hands.

It seems that because of the sudden drop in temperature, the original strong smell of blood has been blocked in the wreckage, and the air has become fresh again.

Walking on the muddy ground that was somewhat sticky, He Qixuan slowed down.

"Goo-goo-goo-"

A clear birdsong came from above, He Qixuan looked up, and on the treetops more than ten meters high, a spherical creature was staring at him with its dark pupils, tilting its head to look at him.

The creature in the treetop saw that he woke up and looked up at it, and was not afraid of life, so it flew down directly from the branch and landed on the raised root not far from He Qixuan, sorting out his hair, He Qixuan could vaguely see that his feathers were still stained with some early morning dewdrops, and it seemed that the humidity here also affected these creatures.

Although He Qixuan didn't know much about beasts, he had heard of this kind of bird, not to mention, he was fortunate enough to see it once not long ago.

The spirit owl, a very intelligent bird spirit animal in the bird class known to mankind, if trained to read human language, well-behaved, and cute, but it is a strong hunter in the biological world, and they have long been listed as an extinct species by the world organization.

The spirit owl standing on the root of the tree with the head without a neck stared at He Qixuan with its big eyes, full of curiosity about the humans who came here, He Qixuan showed a harmless smile of the iconic humans and animals, squatted on the ground and carefully looked at the first moving species he entered the firmament forest, it seemed that the firmament forest seemed to be more mysterious than he imagined.

"Have you seen enough?"

He Qixuan was stunned, this guy can talk?

Then he said, "No." ”

"Shameless! Don't think I don't know what you humans are thinking, your smile is exactly the same as the humans who killed the race before. "The voice of the greyhound is ethereal, giving people a feeling of relaxation.

The pronunciation is very standard and should be professionally trained.

He Qixuan put away his smile and replaced it with a more easy-going smile, which made this little beast who was ready to fry his hair feel a little more peaceful.

The spirit owl seemed to straighten his chest, his already round body appeared more rounded, his chest bulged slightly, and he continued to look at He Qixuan with his eyes, and he didn't forget to comment: "The legs are good, the arms look quite strong, and he is a capable master." ”

He Qixuan grinned at the corners of his mouth, and met a living treasure in the early morning, but this outspoken spirit owl was so ruffian, with a crazy taste: "Who taught you to talk like this?" ”

"......" The spirit owl stopped talking, and no longer looked at He Qixuan, turning his back to him without saying a word.

After a while, seeing that there was no movement behind it, the Greyhound turned its head directly and saw a face very close, as if observing the pattern of the feathers on its back.

It was jumped by this sudden giant face, and subconsciously flapped its wings and fanned out a strong hurricane, but after reacting, it panicked, and after seeing that He Qixuan was fine, it returned to its state just now, and glared at this disciple fiercely: "Human beings don't have a good thing." ”

It thought for a moment, felt that it was biased to say this, and changed its words: "There are only one or two good things for human beings!" ”

"So I'm that good thing?"

The spirit owl said disdainfully: "Look at you like that, it's not a ...... at first glance" He Qixuan showed a harmless smile from humans and animals, and the spirit owl hurriedly changed his words: "At first glance, you are not a bad person." ”

"It's really accurate to see people." He Qixuan smiled lightly and rubbed his face, the harmless smile of humans and animals was still very tiring, but seeing that this little beast was so cute, he didn't mind teasing it a few more words, after thinking about it, he still said: "I saw that you reacted so much before, could it be that it is also related to humans?" ”

Hearing this, the spirit owl said indignantly: "You humans have done good things, the original place is not enough, you have to break into our territory, break into our territory, forget it, and cause a lot of trouble, forget it, and be stabbed by us, now it's okay, we have suffered heavy casualties, are you happy?" I really don't know what the boss thinks, I have to find you as a human. ”

"Well, I pretty much understand what you mean. That is to say, someone has caused something unclean here, and you have suffered the consequences, resulting in casualties, and you have tried to join forces with humans, but you did not expect that person to be a good person, and you have been countered again. ”

"How do you know?" The spirit owl nodded abruptly, it didn't expect the human in front of it to know something.

"Then why are you looking for me again?"

He Qixuan shrugged, this kind of thing is easy to get the answer once it is associated, if it weren't for the sudden attack of the beasts that night and left quietly, He Qixuan really couldn't think of what this spirit owl was going to do, they came for themselves, that's for sure.

The strange sound in the night before was only audible to him, which was enough to prove that the spirit owl in front of him was not afraid of himself, nor did he see himself as a prey, birds were good at aerial attacks, and the spirit owl was the overlord of the forest bird world, the sky here was its home field, and on land their abilities would be limited, and it could land defenselessly beside He Qixuan, which was enough to explain some doubts.

And when He Qixuan asked why it spoke like this, it was very emotional, and most of the people who taught it to speak had become part of the consequences, but this conjecture He Qixuan did not ask, and he did not have to ask.

The wisdom of the spirit owl is no different from that of ordinary people, and it is a rare intelligent spirit animal in the biological world, and the boss it says shows that the beast group here has indeed become a large-scale organization.

The spirit owl understood the meaning of He Qixuan's words, since it is the person the boss is looking for, he should also be a good person, right? But the people who were elected by the boss before were not very good, but this human seemed to be different from the humans he had seen before, giving it a strange feeling, what did he want to do with his eyes, did he want to follow his hair, that didn't work!

The spirit owl fluttered its wings and said: "I said that the boss is looking for you, how do I know what to do with you, go, I will lead the way for you, the human who I temporarily recognized as a good thing." ”

After speaking, the spirit owl landed on He Qixuan's head, completely using him as a tool to rest, and pointed in the direction of He Qixuan with his arms covered with silver-white gorgeous feathers.

He Qixuan walked in the direction pointed by the spirit owl, and saw a lot less wreckage along the way, and when he got deeper, the road began to become muddy, He Qixuan walked for a while and stopped for a while, marking a few adjacent trees nearby, and the spirit owl on his shoulder was very puzzled: "What are you marking for, are you afraid that you won't be able to find your way back?" ”

He Qixuan shook his head with a smile and said no more.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the spirit owl panicked in his heart, and the two slightly gray feathers protruding from his brow were about to stand up, how could this human be like this, it used its claws to step back and forth on He Qixuan's head to express its dissatisfaction.

Seeing the spirit owl's actions, He Qixuan also secretly laughed and added, "It's useful." ”

The two little paws of the greyhound stepped harder.

Is that different from not saying it?

No.

It suddenly had an epiphany: "Is this just listening to your words, just like listening to your words?" ”

"Hey, that's pretty good."

A person and a bird walked and stopped like this for more than half an hour, the trees on the road went from sparse to dense, sometimes even blocking most of the sight, He Qixuan also made the mark more close, although it consumed a lot of time, but after walking out of this dense jungle, the trees were sparse again, He Qixuan looked back, and the jungle he had just walked through gave him a different feeling.

Natural protective barrier.

He Qixuan saw the terrain just now and came to the conclusion that the dense jungle was like a thick wall, enclosing this space, and after entering this space, He Qixuan could clearly perceive their existence, which was completely different from the corpses in the outside world.

Small rats, rabbits, and even swarms of insects, ants, birds, apes, and large wolves, tigers, bears, and so on, are so large that they hide quietly, in the shadows, in the blind spots, in the underground, countless pairs of eyes are staring at him, and from the moment he enters here, his eyes follow closely, never leaving.

Humans have come here, and they are like enemies.

This is the barracks of the Firmament Beasts in the depths of the outer perimeter of the Firmament Forest.

"Should have said, welcome."

A seductive and ethereal voice came from a distance, and the spirit owl also jumped down from He Qixuan's head and said forward, "Boss, I brought him over." ”

He Qixuan felt that the aura in front of him was extraordinary, and it was a little different from ordinary spirit beasts and beasts.

It was a white tiger with a few feet tall elephant creature and a body like a giant whale, on the back of the tiger, there was also a very cute-looking human girl, the white spirit tiger was very strong, and the breath was so strong that He Qixuan didn't feel the breath of the little girl at the first time, the little girl's breath was faintly like an ordinary mortal, but there was an extremely peaceful vitality in the breath.

The elephant man on the side stood like a hill, and with every step it took, he could feel a slight tremor under his feet, and the elephant man wore a brown robe woven with special leaves, and his expression was solemn, and it respectfully moved the little girl from the tiger's back to the ground.

The girl wears a white short skirt, which is a common clothing in human society, the slender white hair naturally hangs down the waist, the fair skin is like a perfect handicraft carved from ice, the slightly childish face is pink and transparent, and the white cheeks are curious, she quietly looks at the human being who was called here by her, the red pupils are like carefully carved blood-colored gems, which look extremely bright in the sunlight through the leaf forest.

She approached He Qixuan's side, pondered around He Qixuan, sniffed his hand beside He Qixuan, and muttered: "Sure enough, I don't feel wrong, this time I have found the right human being." ”

He Qixuan looked at her, and then looked at the two fierce and vicious spirit beasts not far behind him, especially the elephant man, his eyes were already eager to swallow He Qixuan completely, and coughed a few times with some embarrassment: "This is not good, men and women are not kissed." ”

The little girl looked at He Qixuan cutely.

"Shh

He Qixuan: "? ”

What was the matter with that look of disdain, feeling like I was being ridiculed.

"This girl has seen more men than you eat salt, isn't it just a little fresh meat, and it's not like I haven't seen it."

Good guy, to be honest, he doesn't eat much salt, the seasoning in the space station will basically be relatively light, and the way to replenish salt is also nutrient solution, and edible salt can only be eaten on special days, this little girl!

He Qixuan smiled and said, "Then I'll go?" ”

"It's coming." The little girl turned around, and the two originally fierce faces instantly became extremely well-behaved, and there was a little more false respect in the eyes that looked at He Qixuan.

Oh, it's up.

The little girl slapped He Qixuan on the back with a palm, didn't use much strength, and then walked forward, saying as she walked: "Originally, the place where we lived would be much wider than now, and it was normal for ethnic groups to fight in the firmament forest, but now, look at this, these are all part of homelessness, and over there." ”

The little girl pointed to the left and right, the eyes of the wolves, the rabbit nest piled up, the grizzly bear holding the cub, they were all homeless.

"So, you came to me to ask the teacher about sin? But I'm not a sinner, am I? He Qixuan said.

The little girl said: "My name is Dongfang Qingyu, I am a poor homeless worm, I was a little offended by my actions just now, please forgive me." ”

The tone of her voice was aggrieved, and the snow-white fox shrugged her ears, and the poor Baba looked at He Qixuan, and seeing that he was indifferent, she said angrily: "Why don't you fall for my charm?" It's not that men will fall for my charm, aren't you a man? ”

"Oh, was that a charm just now?" He Qixuan nodded, looking understood.

For a moment, he really wanted to smooth her fox ears.

But just thinking about it, he patted Dongfang Qingyu's head, and saw that her grinning appearance was cute: "Who did you learn this from?" Charm will only work on bad guys who are not strong-minded, but I am more determined. ”

Dongfang Qingyu pouted and looked at He Qixuan, letting He Qixuan rub his head, which made the two elephant people and white tigers on the side anxious, and gave He Qixuan a hundred and eighty looks, but the latter didn't look at any of them, and they personally wanted to come forward to accuse him of this behavior.

Eh, how can you touch your head, you won't grow tall!

Don't touch it, we want to touch it too......

He Qixuan withdrew his hand, Dongfang Qingyu also came back to his senses, his face was red and his ears were red, He Qixuan asked, "What are you looking for me to do?" Actually, I have a lot of questions for you. ”

Dongfang Qingyu waved his hand, and the beasts dispersed, and they hid separately and turned into a part of the forest, no matter how He Qixuan perceived it, it was useless.

There were only elephant people, white tigers, Dongfang Qingyu and outsiders He Qixuan left in the venue, Dongfang Qingyu hurriedly explained: "The charm just now is really not intentional, Qingyu is here to apologize to you." There is a reason for this, and I have planted a heel in humans twice in a row, and I have to turn to humans for help, so I think about temptation and temptation. ”

"It's okay, I don't care." He Qixuan said with a smile.

Dongfang Qingyu was anxious: "You have to care, otherwise I won't care, I just ...... If you do such an outrageous act, don't you have an idiom called something...... Why don't you care? ”

He Qixuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "Who taught you this, can this word be used like this?" Then he couldn't laugh and said: "The words you said are only applicable to some people, human beings are a complex group, this word is only used for those people who are warm but secretly murderous, and who are well-behaved on the surface but are jackals, tigers and leopards." ”

He remembered the two brothers before, who seemed to be harmonious, but in fact, they would stick a knife in the back for the sake of interests, and this kind of thing was unacceptable to anyone.

He changed his words: "But some people know that they are in the dark and will also have their hearts towards the light, and there are also people who have been unknown all their lives but care about the world, people are a very complex race, so when looking at people, we can not only look at the surface, but also look at their hearts, and the words should also be aligned." ”

He Qixuan continued: "So I don't care, it's because your temptation is correct, and the temptation without determining the human heart is what you should do, and it is the human heart that human beings can't withstand the temptation the most, so from your point of view, you are right." From my point of view, I don't care. Got it? ”

"Got it." Dongfang Qingyu nodded, but his expression was cloudy.

Dongfang Qingyu looked at He Qixuan, it seemed that this human being was really different, a bit like a person, always telling her the great truth outside the sky, teaching her to speak human language, saying some words that she couldn't understand, what kind of life community, what development cycle law, thinking of this, she felt a little sad, such a nagging person, but now she can't nag, she can't hear her nagging.

But she is also a little lucky, today she met a person similar to her, who is also very nagging, and can also talk about big truths, should be a good person.

Trying to change the topic, Dongfang Qingyu pointed at the elephant man, and then pointed at the white tiger and said, "It is the leader of the elephant people and a wizard; Bai Ling is the patriarch of the Snow Tiger Clan. ”

"Hello, intruder." The elephant leader greeted He Qixuan in his obscure human language.

Intruder ...... He Qixuan is already immune.

Snow Tiger Bai Ling snorted twice to greet him.

He Qixuan also nodded, turned to Dongfang Qingyu and asked, "But speaking of which, why are you looking for me, and what is the strange sound I heard in the tent that night?" ”

"Ah, that voice was actually prepared by us specifically looking for helpers." Dongfang Qingyu said, "That kind of sound can designate a location target, and we can easily find you without disturbing other humans." As for why I looked for you. ”

She sniffed beside He Qixuan again, a little puzzled: "Didn't you smell the smell emanating from you?" Unlike other humans, that voice is the one who finds you. ”

"Taste?" He Qixuan looked at himself, there was no smell of the clothes on his body, and he couldn't smell anything.

"That's right, I'm the heir of the bloodline of the King of Wood, so I can naturally tell that the smell on your body is completely different from that of others, and to put it this way, this instinctive smell is very heavy on you, in fact, I also have it on me, I don't believe you smell it...... If you don't smell it, I won't let you smell it. You shouldn't be considered human, my gang has never found this smell in humans, so we should be of the same kind. ”

He Qixuan listened to Dongfang Qingyu's vow, crying and laughing, how could he smell it and even change the species?
