Lin Yu hurriedly followed Shanwa and hid behind a big rock.
The voice became clearer and clearer, and when the prey rushed out of the woods and appeared in the sight of the two, Lin Jue and Shanwa both gasped in unison.
It turned out to be a huge bear, with brown fur and markings, and a body length of about four meters, which was extremely strong and gave people a strong visual impact.
Shanwa whispered in Lin Jue's ear: "This is the brown spotted bear, the most ferocious and dangerous bear in the Qingqiong Forest Sea, with infinite strength and extremely tough fur, unless it hits the vital point, it will be difficult for the beast horn bow to hurt it." If my dad is here, he can set a trap in advance and fight with it, but now we can't fight with it. The most clever thing about this bear is its nose, and I have sprinkled some rosemary powder just now, which can affect its sense of smell. Wait a minute, follow my steps and leave, remember, don't rush too much, don't make too much noise!"
Lin Jue nodded, and the two slowly retreated towards the back of the hill.
The brown bear slowed down and let out a terrifying roar, but the roar seemed to be filled with pain and fear, and it stood up and waved its palms wildly in the air.
The two of them were now, and something seemed to be flying on the brown bear's head, and a buzzing sound could be faintly heard.
After frantically waving its huge claws, the brown spotted bear screamed and fell to the ground, and its strong body began to slowly become deflated.
This scene made Shanwa think of a terrible thing, and she didn't care about hiding it, and shouted: "Mind eater!
Lin Jue had never seen a heart eater in his memory, but it was by no means the first time he had heard these three words, in Aoba Village, in Purple Phoenix City, almost everyone knew about this terrible bug.
The Hearteater is an insect, not a demon beast, but it can make real demon beasts frightened.
They are fast flying, with sharp mouthparts that can penetrate tough skin lightly, and are most fond of sucking the flesh of living creatures. They are generally small-scale group actions, and few prey are able to escape their siege.
If this is the case, it is not enough for the Heart Eater to have such a big "reputation" in Purple Phoenix City, and what can really cause a terrifying disaster is the appearance of the Worm Emperor.
Once the Worm Emperor is born, the number of the Hearteater Worm will grow wildly, becoming the most terrifying devourer, attacking all prey, including humans, even ordinary monsters are not immune.
Hongshou Village and Anfeng Village, these two villages that are larger than Aoba Village, were completely extinct because of the Disaster of the Heart Eater Insect Emperor ten years ago. If it weren't for the city lord Feng Haiyun to invite the masters to eliminate the insect emperor and the insect swarm, the entire Purple Phoenix City would have been wiped out.
Until now, many people still talk about the discoloration of "insects".
Although the insect plague has been eliminated, there are still heart-eaters in the green dome forest, but fortunately, the average heart-eater does not live long, and the reproduction rate is also low, so it will not pose much of a threat.
For Lin Jue and Shanwa, who are weak, the danger of this small group of mind-eaters is far greater than that of the brown spotted bear, and the only way is to flee immediately.
After a while, the strong body of the brown bear has completely deflated, and if you peel off the bear skin now, you will see that under the skin, the flesh and blood have disappeared, and only Bai Sensen's skeleton remains.
A small group of flying insects the size of a coin flew up from the carcass of the brown spotted bear, stayed in the air for a moment, and had already appeared in the presence of Lin Jue and Shanwa, flapping their wings and chasing after them.
Hearteaters have a special ability to sense blood gas, which is not something that can be deceived by just rosemary.
Shanwa and Lin Jue ran away all the way, and even threw away the few rabbits they hit, and if they still coveted those prey, they would even lose their lives.
Rao was like this, and the two of them still heard the faint humming behind them becoming clearer and clearer.
Shanwa is a mid-level blood cultivator, and he runs much faster than Lin Jue, but he didn't just care about running away, he prepared quickly while running, and turned around suddenly, aiming at the direction of the insect swarm behind.
The arrow, which was tied with strips of cloth coated with animal oil, was ignited by the fire breaker and shot out, drawing a flash of fire in the air, and the swarm was blocked by the rocket, and the degree was slowed down by half a beat, and then flew again.
Shanwa didn't expect this arrow to scare off the Hearteater, he just wanted to lure the swarm to him, with his degree and familiarity with the terrain, it would be easier to get rid of the Hearteater than Lin Jue.
However, only a few of those insects rushed towards the mountain baby, and most of them still chased after Lin Jue at the back.
"Go to the waterhole!" Shanwa cried out as she thought of a waterhole not far from here.
The two of them ran desperately towards the waterhole, especially Lin Jue, who waved the suzhì of this body to the extreme, feeling that the pores of his body were dilated, and the power similar to the eight duanjin qi was galloping, and the degree was not much slower than that of the mountain baby who was in the middle level of blood cultivation.
Finally saw the waterhole in front of him, and at this time, the heart-eater was already close at hand, even the mountain baby did not dare to turn back lightly.
"Bang!" the mountain baby threw her bow and quiver away, and jumped into the water.
The water in this pool is relatively deep, but it is nothing for the two who have been playing in the pond in the village since childhood.
The heart-eater is more afraid of water, and after the mountain baby dives into the water, it circles for a while and finally gives up.
Lin Jue was a few steps away from the water's edge, and suddenly heard a buzzing sound in the back of his head, and his back ached, as if he had been pierced by a needle.
Hit by a hearteater!
Lin Jue was so shocked that his soul flew out of the sky, and then a strong feeling of dizziness came to his brain, and his movements slowed down involuntarily, followed by a continuous tingling sensation behind him, as if he had been bitten by many insects, and his paralyzed body became heavier and heavier, and finally understood why the strong brown spotted bear was running slower and slower.
The pond is already close in front of him, but in his eyes, it is far away from the end of the world, and in just a few steps, it is the ghost gate of life and death.
It's only been a long time since I've been reborn, and I'm going to die, and I'm really unwilling......
In desperation, Lin Jue heard a special explosion behind him, and his whole body suddenly lightened.
If someone could see it from behind at this time, the dark purple beetles attached to Lin Jue's vest suddenly swelled several times, like lit firecrackers, and burst one after another.
The blood mist brought out by the burst made the rest of the beetles flock to it, but as soon as they entered the blood mist, they swelled and exploded one after another, even the few that had tracked the mountain baby back before.
Only one of the stragglers flew the slower, and when it arrived, the blood mist had dissipated, so that it was spared the scourge of exploding, and was rushed by the remnants of blood, and fell to the ground staggeringly, falling into the grass.
Lin Jue, who escaped death, didn't know what was born, where did he dare to turn back, and jumped straight into the waterhole.
The icy water woke him up, and he immediately dived, swam in the direction of the reeds in his memory, touched the reed pole, broke one, and stretched out the water to breathe.
After a while, Lin Jue cautiously poked his head out, and now the heart eaters were nowhere to be seen, touching the place behind him that had stinged, and he felt that there was nothing abnormal, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, is it an illusion?
At this time, the mountain baby also emerged from the water and swam over.
"Brother Jue, are you okay?"
"It's fine. Lin Jue thought about it and didn't say anything about the "maybe" being bitten just now.
The two of them swam ashore, and at this time, most of the fragments of insect corpses that burst in the grass were scattered, and they were only small pebbles under their feet, and they were not revealed.
"There have been no Hearteaters in this area of Aoba Village, and the brown bear that attracted the Hearteaters must have escaped from the depths of the forest to this side, and according to the habits of Hearteaters, they should go back after hunting. Shanwa looked at the wet appearance of the two of them, and was a little depressed: "Today is really unlucky, I almost lost my life." ”
Lin Jue thought of something and asked, "By the way, that brown bear skin seems to be quite valuable." ”
"You don't want to die?" Shanwa said quietly, "If you encounter the Hearteater again, it will be time for someone else to pick up our skins! As long as no one goes to that place, it will not be too late to pick it up again tomorrow, and I will ask you to go with you then." ”
Lin Jue also said casually just now, and nodded with palpitations. When they walked back, both of them were cautious, but fortunately, they did not encounter the heart eater again, but the mountain baby hunted a hare and two pheasants.
It was already noon when he returned to the entrance of the village, and Lin Jue said: "Shanwa, if Uncle Shandao knows that you took me into the mountains and encountered a heart-eater, it would be strange if I didn't beat you half to death, don't talk about today's incident." ”
"I know, you can take these wild animals and take them back to Mr. Lin and Sister Ling'er to try them. ”
Lin Jue was about to excuse himself, but Shanwa couldn't help but say anything, and gave him a brain, Lin Jue knew Shanwa's temperament and took it.
Walking to the door of Xiao Nanshan's house, she happened to bump into Lin Ling at the door, and seeing him wet all over, the girl was taken aback and asked, "Xiao Jue, what's wrong with you?"
"Shanwa and I netted fish in the pond in front of his house and accidentally fell into the water. Lin Jue raised the prey in his hand, "The fish didn't catch the net, but Shanwa gave me these, and we have all been blessed in the past few days." ”
Lin Ling glanced at him, didn't ask much, and only said, "Daddy won't come back at noon today, I'm going to the school to deliver food." You go and change your clothes before you eat. ”
"I'll wait for you to come back and eat together, and I'll go change my clothes first. ”
Lin Ling heard his younger brother say that he would wait for him to come back and eat together, his heart warmed, and he nodded: "Put the game in the kitchen, take off the wet clothes and throw them in the bucket, it seems that there are still a few broken places, I will help you wash it and make up for it when I go back." ”
After walking a few steps, Lin Ling suddenly turned around and advised: "Remember not to go into the mountain with Shanwa next time, it's too dangerous." ”
Lin Jue knew that he was being seen through, laughed a few times, and walked into the house.
Lin Ling didn't report to his father, and when Lin Wei went home in the afternoon, he only knew that Shanwa had sent some prey, and asked Lin Yu to send a book from the family to Shanwa's younger brother Xiao Shanzi next time, as a return gift.
Dinner is two vegetarian dishes and stewed pheasant soup, Lin Ling according to Lin Jue's method, add some dried winter bamboo shoot slices and rice wine into the stew together, sure enough, the aroma is overflowing, especially mellow.
There is a lesson from the previous experience of the last "gentleman who cooks far away", this time when the father praised Lin Ling took the credit for it, and saw her younger brother squeezing her eyebrows at herself, the girl couldn't help but smile.
In the past few days, the relationship between his son and daughter has improved Lin Wei is eye, and at this time, he only made a small gesture of not seeing his children, and the old god finished dinner on the ground.
In the evening, Lin Wei came to Lin Jue's room and selected a few poems to recite, Lin Jue never forgot it, and it was easy to recite it, and he also asked Lin Wei for some things that he didn't understand.
With Lin Wei's knowledge, he naturally knows that these questions can only be raised by people who really understand books, and it seems that his son has really opened his mind, although his face is still tense due to his father's shelf, but his heart is relieved.
After coping with his father's school examination, Lin Jue came to the small hillside and habitually practiced Baduanjin twice and White Crane Boxing once.
I don't know if I can escape the relationship between the heart eater's life time and swing out some potential, and the sense of qi is clearer, especially when practicing White Crane Boxing, I feel that the "qi" is scattered through the pores along with heat and sweat, and is lightly wrapped in the body, and it does not disperse for a long time.
After a punch, I practiced the rest technique again, and as the breathing calmed down evenly, this "qi" gradually dissipated.
When I returned to the house and took out the velvet to light the lamp, there was no oil.
He was about to touch the darkness to add oil, when suddenly a light appeared on the table, a faint purple light, which was particularly bright in the darkness.
Lin Jue saw that it was actually a beetle, about the size of a thumb cover, lying quietly on the book of "Book of Rites" that he had opened before.
Purple fireflies?
