697. Huge footprints
After listening to Ace, several people were stunned.
After glancing at each other, Shen Li got up and said, "I still want to eat cakes more, and I can do it." Sweet potatoes you can eat by yourself. ”
The other three also stood up silently.
"Our cake is actually okay, and it tastes good when you think about it."
Ace: "........."
Ace clenched the stick he found casually, grinding his teeth and glaring at them: "Sit down!" Lao Tzu has baked all the sweet potatoes, and you will tell me not to eat them now? Can I eat that much alone! ”
He looked at Shen Li first: "This patriarch is not like you!" ”
Shen Li: "........."
Shen Li immediately sat back and smiled slightly: "I promise you won't be able to eat any of them." Because I eat a lot, I'm going to eat it all. ”
Li Xiangying and the three of them also sat back with a dry cough.
Archer snorted.
Seeing this, Hua Xu, who was not far away, shook his head, turned around and entered the tent.
Li Xiangying, who saw it, asked Shen Li curiously: "Lord of the three mounds...... No, Lord Rokuzuka, Lord Rokuzuka really doesn't need to eat? ”
Shen Li: "No. ”
Li Xiangying was surprised: "Won't he be hungry?" ”
Shen Li: "Where do I know, I rarely see him eating." Maybe at his level, eating itself is no longer good for him, and the ingredients brought by food will become a drag on his body. ”
Li Xiangying had a shocked expression of "I have seen it for a long time".
Not long after, Ace baked sweet potatoes for them to eat, and after eating, they went back to their tents to rest.
Shen Li was not too sleepy, and fell asleep very late.
But I don't know if it's her delusion, she heard that there seemed to be a lot of wind and sand outside, the wind was whirring, and the tent was constantly shaking.
She quickly woke up and went out of the tent to look.
Outside, the sky was already pitch black, with no moonlight or stardust in sight, and the vast grassland was dark and dark, and the night wind blew down knee-high fields of hay like waves.
"It's okay, go back to sleep."
A voice suddenly rang out behind him.
Shen Lihuo turned around and saw that Ace and Hua Xu had come out to check.
Ah Ce looked around and said calmly: "At this time, this is often the case on the grassland, it is a normal phenomenon, don't worry, just go back to sleep." ”
Hua Xu swept his eyes with his arms crossed, and also touched the bell on his wrist, and then said, "There is no abnormality." ”
Shen Li went back to the tent with confidence, and vaguely heard that Ace and Hua Xu had not returned to the tent outside, as if they were saying something, their voices were blown away by the wind, and she couldn't hear what they were saying.
It's okay left and right.
Shen Li rolled over and slept reassuringly, until she didn't know how long later, she was woken up by the exclamations of Li Xiangying and Xu Ling outside.
She rubbed her aching brow, forced herself to wake up, and got up to go out.
Everyone else got up and was sitting on the edge of the dirt slope not far away, not knowing what they were looking at.
She went over and called them.
Li Xiangying immediately turned around, looking very novel, "Shen Li, come on, look what it is!" ”
Several people turned sideways and gave way.
Shen Li turned his head and looked at it, his eyes slightly condensed.
There were several huge footprints on the grass not far ahead! It's about ten centimeters wide and nearly thirty centimeters long! The grass under the footprints was trampled very solidly, which shows that the person who left the footprints should also be huge, at least very heavy.
Further on, the footsteps spread in a northeasterly direction, and it appeared to be a creature walking on all fours.
"I've never seen a creature with footprints this big." Li Xiangying rubbed her chin, and her first reaction was to ask Hua Xu, "Lord of the Six Mounds, are there other special races in this area besides the half-ghost race?" ”
Shen Li, Xu Ling, and Li Lao also looked at Hua Xu when they heard this.
Hua Xu frowned and thought about it, then shook his head: "No." The alien race is not like the normal human race, so where will it be so easy to appear one after another like wholesale. ”
"I think I probably know."
Ace suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of several people.
He frowned and said: "It's about ten years ago, there was an incident in the grassland in this area, that is, there was a disfigured elderly woman, she was very good at medicine, she could cure many incurable diseases, and saved many people. Sometimes when you encounter pedestrians by accident, you will also be rescued to give you a chance and save a merit. But what impresses this woman is not her amazing medical skills and kindness, but that she raised a huge black bear. ”
"Black bears? And the one who raised this thing?? Several people were surprised.
Ace nodded, "It is said that the black bear listens to her very much and is very obedient to her, so it is very impressive." Calculating, with the size of the black bear, it is not surprising that such footprints were left. ”
Shen Li said: "So last night it was this woman who passed by our tent with her black bear, and none of us found it?" ”
Li Xiangying and Xu Ling looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Li Lao also shook his head and said that he had not heard any movement.
Hua Xu and Ace were silent and shook their heads in the same way.
None of them found out.
Xu Ling shuddered and said, "Mom, then I almost passed by a black bear that could trample me to death last night?" ”
Hearing this, Li Xiangying was also excited.
Ace looked at them and said; "What are you afraid of, it's not that something hasn't happened yet. Besides, it is rumored that the woman is kind to others, and never takes the initiative to attack others, but only saves people. ”
However, the two were not comforted, but were even more excited by the appearance of the giant bear they thought of.
Li Lao couldn't help but say, "Then let's go quickly, don't stay here." In case they turn back and run into a head-on encounter...... That scene is a little unimaginable. ”
Ace was silent.
This made Shen Li have a bad premonition: "What's wrong?" ”
Archer pointed in the direction where the footprints had departed, "Didn't you notice that this is the direction we are going?" ”
Others: "............"
Silence is their destiny today.
"It doesn't matter." Hua Xu spoke, "They didn't move us last night, it means that they are not interested in us, let's go." ”
Shen Li rubbed his face to sober up, and said: "One direction is one direction, and it may not be able to touch." If you encounter it, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth. Walk! ”
When a few people heard this, they went back and quickly put away their tents, and after breakfast, they went on the road.
Only this time, looking at the big footprints that were more obvious all the way, several people were a little silent, and the atmosphere was a little quieter than yesterday.
Li Xiangying weakly asked Ace if he had any recovery points today, and if he could use space magic.
Ace Mo shook his head emotionally.
Shen Li and Hua Xu are even more unlikely to use it, firstly, their proficiency in this technique is not as good as that of Ah Ce, and they can't open a crack somewhere at will, and secondly, they haven't been to the Evenki clan, so they don't know what it looks like, let alone can't.
On this day, the group walked significantly faster than yesterday, and they were still very worried.
As evening approached, the shadow of the clan dwelling finally appeared in their sight.
