Chapter 64: Don't Eat Randomly
Cross continued to speculate about Mao's intentions, but he didn't know anything about the patrol at all, and Lu Xi didn't tell him about it at all.
No matter how much he guessed, it was impossible to guess something he didn't know.
As the chickens and ducks talked more and more, the temper became more and more irritable.
It is no accident that most of the records of dragons in human history are inseparable from adjectives such as "irritable and irritable" and "no one in sight".
Dragons' life levels and status are too detached, so they always have less patience when facing other life species.
Xiao Yuan was shouted out by Mao Hao, probably because he was worried that he would be criticized by Lu Xi for sneaking out of the farm as a dragon, so Mao Hao called Xiao Yuan together to share the possibility of being scolded next.
Although Lu Xi didn't show it deliberately, and she usually couldn't show it, it is undeniable that she does prefer Xiaoyuan.
Mi Hao noticed this and took advantage of it, which is who can say it's not smart enough.
Xiao Yuan finally knew what he was going to do, although he felt that this thing was unlikely to succeed.
But the former one is its feelings for Lu Xi, and the latter is its care for Lu Xi, and when the two emotions are suppressed, it still follows Mao by default, and by the way, it also helps.
Seeing that Mao Miao was getting more and more angry, and he couldn't wait to spray people with a mouthful of dragon fire, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to stop it.
"Woohoo!"
He was stunned for a moment, then his anger subsided a little, and he let out a "roar", and the two cubs talked for a long time in a conversation that Cross did not understand.
Cross's head was full of "whoops" and "roars", and he was at a loss for a moment holding a few large red apples.
But in fact, the content of the conversation between Mao and Xiao Yuan is very simple, Xiao Yuan says that the two of them can take Cross to the patrol position.
Mao said that the master did not let them get close to the patrol, and it would be bad if they encountered danger, otherwise it would rush directly over and it would not be more effective than anything.
- Although Mao Mao made his own opinions, Mao Mao was still obedient.
The two cubs who were talking about the rise forgot to control the volume for a while, and unconsciously, the voice traveled far away.
"Captain Annie? Is there any sound? "In the rest camp hidden by the masking elemental circle, a low-level elemental warrior on night duty couldn't help but ask a question.
"I'll listen." A young low-level female elemental mage named Annie, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, did not ignore this problem, she knew that her ears were definitely not as good as those of elemental warriors when it came to hearing.
However, the merits of elemental mages are not physical.
Quickly chanting a spell of elemental magic, the wind elemental converges around Anne in the shape of a trumpet.
Following the patrolman's prompt, Anne pointed the wind elemental horn in a certain direction, and a clear roar of monsters was heard.
"Got a monster fumbled? Or two? Are they arguing? The patrol members guessed based on their voices.
Anne looked around and stood up, "You go and call everyone up, whether there are monsters touching it or not, be careful, this elemental circle can only cover the breath, and has no protective effect." ”
Although the elemental circle with multiple functions is more useful, it is also more expensive, and it is not something they can afford to use casually.
The patrol members had no objection and quickly called out all the sleeping teammates.
Anne briefly talked about what had happened so far, and divided the team into two groups, one group followed her out to solve the two "quarrelling" monsters, and one group stayed in place to be vigilant, so as not to sneak up on other monsters attracted by the quarrel.
Although Marco had already entered the farm and did not come out for a day, nor did he give any news, Anne and the others were not in a hurry, according to Marco himself, it was actually normal for him to stay in the Mourning Farm for two or three days.
From the very beginning, Marco felt that talking to a nobleman about interests was a long process of arguing, so it was enough to let these subordinates outside not be in a hurry at all, and just do what he told them to do normally.
So Annie and the others are very stable, and in the face of the sudden happening, they just feel that there are too many monsters they have attracted, and they have groped around them.
In order to make it easier for the patrol team that stayed behind, Marco also left the elemental artifact he had brought with him to conceal his breath to Anne.
It was Anne who walked to the neighborhood with several members of the patrol, and the heated discussion was not yet noticed by Mi and Xiao Yuan.
However, Anne did not dare to get too close, but observed the situation from a very far away.
So what they saw in the eyes of this group was such a scene - a human holding several large red apples, trembling between two monsters.
One dragon bird beast stared fiercely at the human, as if it was about to attack at any moment, and the other was a half-sized silver wolf, guarding in front of the human, whining and whining.
Although I don't understand why the two monsters didn't fight directly, but quarreled with each other there, this scene is very much in line with the cognition of Anne's group.
The grumpy dragons, birds, and beasts want to attack humans, while the cute, pretty, and beautiful silver wolves want to protect humans.
"Captain, what should I do?" One of the team members couldn't help but ask.
Anne was about to answer, when she suddenly noticed that the two monsters in front of her who were arguing turned their heads at the same time.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Anne was shocked, she had thought about observing the situation and then deciding what to do.
Although they have her, a low-level elemental mage, in the face of low-level monsters who can do elemental magic, it is really difficult for humans of the same level to have any advantage.
I didn't expect the perception of these two monsters to be so keen, and they didn't leave much time for Anne to think.
Up or down? Anne hesitated, after all, she didn't have much experience, she just knew some elemental spells.
Although the dragon, bird and beast are not particularly powerful monsters, their team lineup rushed forward, and in the end, they had to either die or injure a few people.
Even if they hadn't spent much time together, Anne didn't want to see these people on her team get hurt or die.
It's just that when Anne was about to open her mouth to retreat, she thought of the human between the two monsters.
Annie, who had no experience and became the leader of the patrol just because of her status as a low-level elemental mage, gave an inappropriate order at that moment.
"Attack!"
Anne thought that although the drakebeast was very dangerous, there was a silver wolf on the opposite side of it, and if it attacked the drakemon, the silver wolf should help them, so that their chances of victory were actually very large.
The reason why I didn't think about attacking the silver wolf was that the silver wolf was a monster, and it was really famous for its closeness to humans.
Suppose a human is asked to choose whether to live with a stranger or a silver wolf in a confined space.
It is believed that the vast majority of humans will choose the silver wolf, because humans may harm humans, but the silver wolf cannot.
Anne was very nervous, but in fact, Mao Hao and Xiao Yuan were even more startled, Lu Xi had strictly forbidden them not to approach the patrol, but the two of them still met.
For a while, the minds of the two cubs were full of the consequences of Lu Xi knowing about this matter, and they immediately panicked.
So over there, when an air elemental magic attack arrow flew over, Xiao Yuan and Mao Miao were like fried chickens, fluttering away in an instant, and they were about to run back to the countryside.
The heated discussion and "calculation" just now were all left behind in an instant, and none of these things were important that could be scolded by Lu Xi.
"Whew!" As soon as Xiao Yuan jumped out of the step, he began to roar, reminding him not to forget Kroos behind him.
Mao, who had already flown for more than ten meters, hurriedly nodded in response, "Roar!" He then dived down towards Cross's position, ready to grab Cross with his claws.
But the way it looks, in the eyes of Anne and the others, is that it wants to hurt the human who has been scared stupid.
"Stop!" Anne shouted, and the wind elemental magic in her hand flew out at the same time, striking at Miao's body.
Mao Hao can actually avoid it, but looking at the wind element magic in front of him that is not strong enough, Mao Hao is a little "too lazy" to hide.
On the contrary, Cross, who saw this scene with his own eyes, was so frightened that he was afraid that Lord Mao would be harmed.
"Don't hurt anyone!" Anne charged forward as she laid out the new wind elemental magic.
Mao and Xiao Yuan, who were about to fight back, glanced at each other, although they didn't quite understand the other side's thoughts, but Cross didn't seem to be in any danger.
So the two cubs made eye contact, then turned around and ran away at the same time, leaving one Kross, who didn't know why he was here, and didn't know why a group of people had appeared to save him, standing there with a confused expression.
Of course, they didn't run far, they were far away, ready to observe the next development, and decide if something went wrong, and then rushed to rescue Cross.
Before Annie's third wind elemental spell could be successfully released, she saw two monsters run away without a trace, including the silver wolf, which was very close to humans.
At this time, the two low-level elemental warriors who rushed to the front also successfully arrived at Cross's side, and the bulging elemental power was lonely.
They weren't as friendly as Anne, and they were as kind to a stranger, and after making sure that the two monsters weren't going to return, they began to question Cross.
"Who are you? Why here? ”
Each patrol member of a human town has its own uniform, and while there may be some differences in the details, they are all pretty much the same.
So as soon as Cross saw the clothes on them, he was sure that they were members of the patrol.
Although most of the members of the patrol are not very friendly, because they provide some security to the villages around the town, Cross is quite respectful when dealing with them.
"My lord, I'm a slave on a nearby farm." Cross held a few large red apples in his hands and spoke in a respectful tone.
It's rare that after such a panicked scene just now, he still held these big red apples and didn't let go.
Anne came over and heard that her members were interrogating Cross's identity, but she didn't stop it, kindness is kindness, but the work ethic is still there, and you can't save people and don't know the identity of the other party.
There was only one farm nearby, and when Cross answered, several members of the patrol looked at each other, they followed Marco to do something, and they must have known what was going on.
But Cleus looked like he didn't know - too, after all, he was just a slave on a farm, and if he could know about this kind of thing, he really wondered what was going on that farm.
After waiting for a long time, and not seeing the two monsters turn around and attack, Anne waved her hand, "Let's go, let's go back, they shouldn't come back." ”
As for Cross, he must not be allowed to return to the farm, and it will not be good if the news is revealed.
Without hinting, the two patrol members consciously walked on either side of Cross and controlled him.
However, when they got closer, they realized that Klers was holding several large red apples in his arms, and the taste was so fragrant that it was tempting and even drooled.
"Where did you get this fruit?" One of the patrol members swallowed and asked Cross.
"...... on the farm" Cross is actually not sure, but these big red apples were taken out by two demon pets after all, and there can't be anywhere else except the farm.
"You still have this fruit on the farm, no wonder Master Marco ......" Halfway through his words, his teammate next to him immediately gave him an elbow and told him not to continue.
But what it means, everyone knows it.
"Alright, don't take it, give it to us." The member of the patrol unceremoniously took a few large red apples from Cross's arms.
The teammates who saw it next to him didn't stop him, and Cross, who was robbed of the big red apple, opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Talking to the farmer behind his back? But he was just a slave, and he snatched only a few big red apples, which were still snatched by the patrol.
In fact, this is what the patrol team has always been accustomed to, passing through some villages during patrols, and if there are any fruit trees or something in the village, they must pick some and taste them.
From time to time, they will also receive some offerings from the village and the like, and they will also take special care of those sensible villages.
After all, it is a dangerous job like patrolling, which must be more painstaking in places where there is a lot of oil and water, and the vast majority of villages or people are more willing to give some benefits to the patrol people.
Cross didn't know what Miss Lucy of his family was thinking, but what he could do was not to cause trouble for Miss Lucy because of such a few fruits and these few little things.
Quiet, don't cause trouble, just occasionally look at those big red apples, and stop talking - those big red apples were given to him by two demon pets, could it be that humans can't actually eat them?
But looking at the confident faces of the patrol adults, Cross didn't say anything.
Anne didn't really like their habits, but she had seen a lot, and knew that it was already a "custom", so she pretended not to see it.
When the group returned to the camp, nothing else happened in the camp, and it was very comfortable.
No one interrogated Cross either, mainly because Cross had already said that he was a slave on the Spiritual Farm, and that he knew what their patrol was doing, and he was embarrassed to do anything in front of Cross.
"You just stay here first, there are a lot of monsters around here, and it's not safe for you to go back to the farm now." Anne spoke for a moment, but did not say exactly when Cross would return.
Cross nodded sensibly, having a deep understanding of his slave status, and did not think of taking the initiative to show himself.
"Captain, give it, just washed." A member of the patrol held half a large red apple and handed it to Anne.
Although the number of big red apples was not enough, one was divided into two halves, and it was enough for the people of their patrol to eat, and now these people were awakened to eat a fruit and sleep.
Anne was about to refuse, but she smelled the aroma of the big red apple, and she couldn't say anything about it, so the ghost messenger took it and took a small bite.
An indescribable taste erupted in her mouth, and when Anne came to her senses, she had already eaten half a large red apple.
Turning his head to look around, all the members of the patrol team were touching their stomachs with a satisfied face.
"I didn't expect that there was this kind of fruit in the Spirit Farm, so let Master Marco say something good when the time comes, can you bring some more back." Someone licked their lips and opened their mouths like a taste.
The person next to him was about to echo, but before the voice could be spoken, the person fell to the ground first.
“?” Anne was surprised for a moment, and was about to get up, when she saw the other patrol members in front of her, one by one, falling.
A feeling of dizziness also appeared in Anne's mind, and she couldn't help but look up at the slave who had come with the fruit, thinking that it was the slave's problem.
Unexpectedly, the slave's expression over there was even more full of doubts than hers.
Unable to control her body's instincts and falling, Anne suddenly heard the slave's self-talk.
"Ah, the fruit given by the Demon Pet Lord, humans really can't eat it, but fortunately I didn't think about stealing it."
Then you didn't say it earlier! Anne lost consciousness completely after the last thought came to her head.
Cross touched the top of his bare head, looked at the camp of fallen people in front of him, and for a moment did not know what he should do.
"Why don't I drag everyone in? It's not good to catch a cold outside. ”
However, before Cross could act, a furry head popped up.
"Lord Xiaoyuan." Cross was taken aback, and to be honest, what had happened so far was beyond his comprehension.
Madoka quietly glanced at the scene in the camp, and after confirming that everyone had fallen, she stood up generously, let out a whining sound, and called Mao over.
Falling to the ground, he looked at the scene in front of him with a proud face.
It says it's a good idea!
5,000 words...... That's a lot of nonsense, me
