Section 109 Gluttonous cats

Sure enough, it came! In the next moment, Mimilu immediately rushed down the mountain peak as fast as she could, rushing towards the source of the sound. She used her natural abilities, her body changing color constantly, adapting to her surroundings. As she walked through the bushes, her body took on a mixture of green and ochre, and when she climbed the rocks, it naturally turned grayish-white. It is precisely because of this talent that it is difficult to be spotted even when Mimilu is running at full speed. This journey can be a tricky one for others, as there are really no roads around, and it takes a long time to get around to where the sound is coming from. But Mimilu ignores the complicated terrain and runs directly towards the source of the sound. All peaks, boulders, and shrubs were not a problem in front of her. Soon, she was in a condescending position where she could be clearly observed.

"What...... I thought I was waiting. Mimilu sighed in disappointment. There were people, and it was two men trying to cross a steep slope with their horses. Although these two people could be seen at a glance as spies, Ashrufat had indeed explained to her that she didn't have to worry about any scattered people. Don't mention these two, even ten or twenty don't care. Mimilu only needs to pay attention to the teams that are on the scale, hundreds or thousands of people.

Mimilu continued to observe for a short while with some disappointment. But she soon became sure that there were only two people and two horses in the vicinity, so she turned back and left where she had been.

Blocked from another road, this valley has never been artificially repaired because it was once entrenched by dragons, and it is not a "road" in the true sense of the word, and its current state can only be considered "a relatively easy terrain in the mountains". The terrain of the valley is complex, some sections are very fragmented, there are too many places to be "passable", and some sections are very narrow. Mimilu wants to monitor whether there are any troops passing by, so she has two options, either she repeatedly runs from one side of the valley to the other, or she chooses a certain "pass" location.

Mimilu chose the latter without hesitation. As long as she stayed on that peak, she could be sure of the whole road. Because the terrain of the valley has become narrow in this area, although there are many solitary peaks in them, which can block her vision, but not her hearing.

And in this case, she doesn't need to worry about her own safety. When she is still in place, she can be said to be perfectly integrated with her surroundings. To say that to recognize Mimilu's existence at a distance is definitely beyond the scope of human ability.

She has been here for two days, and in the past two days, she has seen seven or eight waves of people before and after. It's almost always a small team of one or two people. The size of the army that Ashrufat cared for did not appear. Looks like she'll have to stay here anyway.

But it's really boring here.

It was already dark, and Mimilu returned to her makeshift nest with some frustration. It was a small cave she had found temporarily, located on a high place, sheltering her from the wind and rain and sleeping safely. But Mimilu has become accustomed to all sorts of camping gear, and even lived in that cozy castle for a long time. Now suddenly back to living alone in the wilderness, some are not used to it.

In her makeshift nest, there were makeshift sleeping bunks made of hay, dead branches, leaves, and the like. But for Mimilu, who is used to blankets, quilts and tents, this thing is much worse than a bed. Knowing that when Lu Dao left, he should have asked Ashrufat for human camping equipment. Although those things are bulky and heavy, they can set up a comfortable resting spot.

Mimilu misses the soft blanket in a depressed mood as she coils up like a cat and prepares for bed. She ate a rabbit she caught on the side of the road today. The rabbit meat is still delicious when cooked, and it is even more delicious if it can be grilled or boiled into a soup like Ashrufat, and added with various spices...... She should have asked Ashrufat for something to cook when she left......

A faint aroma wafted in the wind. When Mimilu was half asleep and half awake, it quietly melted into her nasal cavity. Mimilu had a good dream, she dreamed that the war was over, and she returned to Eshurufat, and then Eshurufat praised her and gave her lots and lots of snacks. It was a very fragrant dim sum, but I don't know what it is, but I can't taste it in my mouth. But Mimilu still ate a lot.

A ray of sunlight shone in from the entrance of the nest, just on Mimilu's eyes. Mimilu instinctively wanted to grab the blanket to block the harsh sunlight, but she caught a void. All her hand grasped was a handful of hay.

"Ahh By the way, I'm not in the castle now, but in the ...... Mountain area...... Help the master keep an eye on the road......

She stretched, and crawled out of the makeshift nest. The sun shone on her body, warm and comfortable. Then she clearly felt the "grunting" sound in her stomach.

By the way, yesterday she only ate a rabbit, and the day before yesterday she found a wild fruit...... Mimilu was a little surprised to find that she was not only physically accustomed to blankets and bedding, but also to eating and drinking in her appetite. She remembered that she had eaten such a rabbit before, and she would not feel as hungry as she did now, could it be that the rabbit she caught yesterday was too small?

In any case, the problem of hunger must be solved. Mimilu paused for a few minutes, but she couldn't hear any suspicious sounds. It seems that the enemy that Ashrufat has asked her to spy on has not yet arrived, and she can now go find something to eat first.

Mimilu just wanted to leave, but suddenly realized one thing - the fragrance was still there. She had been smelling it all night, and she had become accustomed to the smell, and only now did she come back to her senses and realize that it was not her hallucination or dream.

Indeed, the smell of food reached her nose. The scent was so enticing in her hunger that it almost made her salivate.

Mimilu immediately crawled out of her nest and searched for the source of the scent.

In fact, finding the target is not difficult at all. It didn't take long for Mimilu to discover the source of the scent – a bag hanging from a tree branch. Two squirrels were also attracted by the scent, and were now on the branches of the trees looking for something to eat. However, because the rope on which the bags are hung is thin and long, they can smell the fragrance but cannot get the food. Upon noticing Mimilu's approach, the vigilant squirrel immediately fled.

Mimilu didn't rush straight to the bag recklessly. She first carefully circled the bag to prevent anyone lurking around, and then carefully observed the surroundings of the bag. However, caution is superfluous this time, because there is really no danger in the vicinity. It seems that it was just a traveler hanging his bag here for some reason.

Mimilu easily untied the bag from the branch. The bag is leather, but there are a lot of small airy eyes on the bag, and the mouth of the bag has a complex knot. However, this knot is not very difficult for Mimilu. As the smell guides, the bag is full of a delicious snack. She took a small bite to see if it was poisonous, and immediately happily filled all the snacks into her stomach. The only pity is that this bag is not big enough, and the number of snacks is limited, which cannot satisfy the hungry Mimilu.

Then again, maybe it's because I'm hungry, but this snack is really delicious. It's not the usual level of deliciousness, but the ultimate deliciousness. The smell, color, and taste are impeccable. In fact, this is the best thing Mimilu can remember. After she finished eating, she licked her fingers carefully.

Under this tree, where snack bags are hung, there are human footprints and horseshoe prints. It looks like the one who left the snack.

Mimilu followed the trail and was pleasantly surprised to find the second bag. She also looked around closely, making sure there was no danger before enjoying a second breakfast.

Mimilu continued to follow in the footsteps of the mysterious man who had left the refreshment, and in the afternoon, she finally caught up with her target. It was a man in a traveling cloak, leading a horse with a large saddlebag hanging from his back. When Mimilu finds him, the mysterious man is hanging a third bag from a tree.

Mimilu stayed far away, she couldn't understand why this person wanted to hang such a delicious snack on a tree.

"Could it be that he doesn't like the taste?" Mimilu asked herself, in her stomach. Of course, the common sense she had learned in the Anthropocene world told her that it was impossible. Even if humans don't like this kind of snack and want to throw it away, they won't use this inexplicable method. This man must have his reasons for doing this.

But whatever the reason, since he was going to throw such a delicious snack here, Mimilu was determined to do him a favor and solve the problem for him.

She patiently followed the mysterious man. With the half-beasts' talent for stealth and color-changing, Mimilu was sure that the other party hadn't noticed him at all. After dark, the mystery man removed the saddlebag from his horse and set up a small camp. After a period of waiting, Mimilu finally heard the other party's snoring.

She crept to the edge of the camp. Unfastened his large saddle bag with the dexterity of a half-beast. As Mimilu observed, the big bag was full of that delicious dim sum. However, Mimilu can't take the whole bag at once, so she can only take a small amount of snacks at a time. By the time the mysterious man woke up in the middle of the night (Mimilu knows that many human travelers have this habit of getting up in the middle of the night to check their luggage), Mimilu has already returned to the safe place where she hid her snacks and feasted.

It must be said that this is a really delicious sweet, and it has the legendary effect of "the more you eat, the better it tastes". Although Mimilu took half of it this time, the remaining half bag of snacks still made her reluctant to go.

She fell asleep to the scent of snacks in a pile of bushes, but when the mysterious man woke up and was about to leave, Mimilu was already waiting for the other party.

Oddly enough, the mystery man noticed that half of the snack was missing, but he didn't show any panic or anger at all. He just calmly tied the bag again and continued on his way. The following morning, the mystery man was still hanging a bag from a tree as he had done yesterday, but he didn't install a trap or anything. This time, when the mystery man walked a little farther away, Mimilu unceremoniously jumped over and ate all the dim sum in two bites.

The results of this day's follow-up are no different from yesterday's, Mimilu found two small bags of delicious snacks. However, this time when it was dark and camping, perhaps because he was aware of the mysterious thief yesterday, the mysterious man put the saddlebag not far from him. Of course, when he snored slightly, Mimilu leaned closer to the bag and opened it as she had done yesterday. There is a risk of detection, but there is no real danger. Because Mimilu has a lot of self-confidence that she can run away before the other party can take any action. She's faster than humans, and with human night vision, there's no way she'll be able to chase her in the dark - even if she doesn't use her color-changing talent.

At first, Mimilu still peeked at the mysterious man from time to time to see if there was any movement, but soon she completely entrusted the work to the ear. She busily snatched the delicious snacks from her saddle bag, but she didn't notice that the mysterious man who was snoring slightly opened half of his eyes.

Even the extraordinary hearing of the half-beasts could not hear the sound of their eyelids opening.
