Chapter 13: Otherworldly Wolf Smoke
Lin Fan didn't give Tal a chance to ask at all, pointed to a point on the ground that represented the village, and asked directly: "If we stay in the village and the demonic beast rushes in, can you stop it?"
Tal was stunned by the question and shook his head.
With their strength, unless Lin Fan was present, they couldn't stop the demonic beasts from entering the village at all.
Lin Fan's tone aggravated a little: "If you can't keep the demonic beast out of the village, once it rushes into the village, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"Monsters rushed into the village...... Tal's gaze changed, and he couldn't help but lick his lips, and a blush of embarrassment at the wrong decision appeared on his face.
If the demonic beast really rushed to the village, it would definitely be a disaster! Even if the demonic beast was killed at the last time, the village would probably have to pay an extremely heavy price. When they arrived at Uttar Village a few days ago, all that was left was a ruined wall, and there were traces of demonic beasts everywhere.
Looking at Tรกr's ugly face, Lin Fan didn't explain anymore and said, "To avoid the destruction of the village, we must keep the demonic beasts out of the village. We can't wait for it to come and attack us, then it's too late. We're going to take the initiative to find it, and then kill it in the forest! โ
Go to the forest and hunt monsters......
Hearing this bold idea, not only Tal but also the dozens of warriors around him were slightly shocked, looking at Lin Fan, some of them licked their lips.
Regardless of whether Lin Fan is a mage or not, after all, he is still very young, and this casual courage to enter the forest to hunt demonic beasts makes those warriors who walk in the forest all year round admire; some warriors who are about the same age as Lin Fan, looking at Lin Fan, even have some admiration in their eyes, at least they don't dare to say such words.
For the first time, Tal glanced at Lin Fan seriously, pondered for a moment, and then pointed to the simple topographic map on the ground and said, "However, this demonic beast has such a large activity area in the forest, it is difficult for us to find it when we enter the forest, and it may even allow it to avoid us and enter the village." โ
"No, it won't. โ
Lin Fan shook his head, glanced at the surrounding warriors, and clenched his fists: "We have nearly a hundred people, except for a dozen people left to guard the village. The rest of the people can be divided into ten squads, forming an encirclement network, gradually closing towards the Valley of the Wind, so that they will definitely be able to find the demonic beast. If you find a monster, notify the others immediately, and we can kill it!"
When the nearby soldiers heard Lin Fan's words, their eyes lit up slightly. This method is indeed feasible, and the search range carried out by ten teams can envelop the area of nearly ten miles in the vicinity.
Only Tal was still frowning, looking at Lin Fan and shaking his head, "This won't work." Once in the forest, we simply had no way to contact anyone else as soon as we found a monster. Except for you, we don't have the strength to fight the Warcraft, so if we disperse our actions, we will only be broken by the Warcraft, and all of them will die in the forest. โ
The forest is so wooded that the sound can't travel far, and it's hard to discern which direction it's coming from. If you go back and forth to inform the other teams, it will take too much time......
If you can't notify others at the first time, the team that encounters the monster will undoubtedly become isolated. Unless you are lucky, the team that encountered the Warcraft happened to be the team that Lin Fan was in. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for any other team to face the Demonic Beast! By the time the other teams get the news and rush over, they will most likely only see corpses on the ground.
The surrounding warriors also thought of Tary's concern, and their faces became a little ugly. The strongest of them is only a junior warrior, and having to face the monster alone is tantamount to suicidal behavior.
"Don't worry about this, I have a way. Lin Fan smiled slightly, stood up from the ground, ignored the surprised eyes around him, found a pile of dry firewood from the side, and then looked at Xingsha, who had not spoken all the time, and said, "Xingsha, can you do me a favor?"
"Hmm...... Hmm!" Xingsha was thinking about things with his head down, when he heard Lin Fan's voice, he hurriedly stood up, followed Lin Fan with a red face, and the two walked towards the forest next to them.
"What is he doing here?"
"Is it any use to get these dry woods? If you want to light a bonfire, you can't see it in the forest unless you set the whole forest on fire. โ
"Wait a minute, maybe Lord Lin Fan has a special arrangement. โ
Everyone watched Lin Fan and Xingsha disappear into the forest, their eyes a little shocked. They don't know how they can connect with each other in the lush forest.
Lin Fan...... My lord. What can I do for you?" Xingsha lost his former lively appearance, and followed Lin Fan stiffly, and only after entering the forest did he cautiously speak.
He now knew that Lu Daolin was a mage, and as long as he went to the city, he could be officially canonized and become a nobleman, which was very different from his identity. Therefore, Xingsha didn't dare to treat Lin Fan with such a casual attitude as before.
Lin Fan stopped, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xingsha's head, this action made Xingsha startled, and stood in place with his head bowed, looking a little cramped and uneasy, but he didn't let go.
"Xingsha, I hope you can call me by my name as before, and I will be the same in the future, so that I will be happy. Lin Fan looked at Xingsha's eyes and said.
Xingsha's eyes lit up slightly, and he knew the meaning of Lin Fan's words.
Looking up at Lin Fan, Xingsha bit his lip, his voice trembling slightly because of excitement and joy: "Is this okay?"
When he learned that Lin Fan was a mage, Xingsha was not as excited as the other villagers, and was even a little disappointed. The mage is a nobleman, and he is only a commoner, and the gap in status will only make their relationship more and more estranged. Xingsha would rather go back to the time when he had just woken up in the morning, but Lin Fan's words at this moment made his heart swell with great joy......
"Of course. Lin Fan stretched out his right hand to Xingsha and looked at Xingsha expectantly.
Xingsha hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Lin Fan's right hand vigorously, and when he raised his head again, a bright smile already bloomed in his eyes, "Lin Fan, what do you want me to help you do?"
"Well, this ......"
Lin Fan smiled slightly.
......
When Lin Fan and Xingsha's figures reappeared in the square, both of them were holding two huge leaves in their hands, Lin Fan frowned tightly, while Xingsha next to him had a bright smile on his face, just like the languishing appearance before entering the forest.
Looking at the strange expressions of the two, even the eyes were a little curious about what the two of them were in their hands.
The others also widened their eyes to see what the young mage who had appeared in the village of Apanda could do to make them communicate with each other in the lush forest, which was related to whether they could successfully kill the demonic beasts.
Eye-watching beauty couldn't help but be curious, and before the two of them could get closer, she greeted Xingsha, "Xingsha, let me see what you're getting." โ
Xingsha smirked and didn't speak, the corners of Lin Fan's mouth twitched, and he stopped: "Yanmei, I advise you not to open it." โ
Where would Meimei listen to Lin Fan's words, and directly opened the leaves in Xingsha's hand, and then her whole pretty face changed suddenly, and she covered her nose and took a few steps back.
Inside the leaves were a pile of animal feces that still smelled of fishy dampness! The moist and smooth surface, in the morning sun, still shone with a bright and delicate luster, and the eyes were beautiful and the whole face was green.
"I said it's better not to open it. Lin Fan made an innocent expression.
"How do I know what ...... is here?"
Her beautiful face was crimson, and even the pair of rabbit ears on her head turned a faint red, and she glanced at Lin Fan fiercely. Fortunately, there were so many people here that she didn't break out in person.
Seeing her expression, the warriors stretched their necks even more, wanting to know what was in the leaves of the Dao tree.
When Xingsha placed the leaves on the ground, the expressions of these people immediately became rich, and even the eyebrows of Tal, who had always had a serious expression, jumped twice.
Mei covered her nose and asked, "Lin Fan, what's the use of you finding these feces?" The other warriors also looked at Lin Fan with a look of surprise, they really didn't know what the feces that could be seen everywhere in the forest had anything to do with their hunting of demonic beasts.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, did not explain, and began to be busy on his own, he mixed the feces with firewood, and then stood up and snapped his fingers.
Call......
An orange-red flame jumped on his fingertips, like a dancing elf, and he looked envious to the young warriors around him, this is a mysterious spell!
Lin Fan flicked his fingers, and the flames fell into the mixed firewood pile next to him.
The dry wood began to burn, and the fishy smell of feces immediately spread, and even Tal couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.
"Lin Fan, you ......" Meimei covered her nose and took a few steps to the side with Xingsha, her slender brows furrowed slightly, and she was about to ask Lin Fan, but she was suddenly stunned in place.
Billowing smoke came out of the fire beside Lin Fan, and the pale yellow smoke column soared into the sky.
"This ......"
For a while, Yanmei forgot the fishy smell of burning feces, walked over, looked at the pale yellow smoke column, her eyes lit up slightly, and she said in surprise: "Lin Fan, is ......this the way you said?"
The eyes of Tal and the others next to him also showed a look of shock, and their eyes were bright. Using a pillar of smoke to communicate, although this idea is bold, but it is indeed feasible! Everyone felt incredible, Lin Fan would come up with such a solution!
Lin Fan looked at the beauty of his eyes and nodded, and said, "This smoke is called wolf smoke, and it is a method used by my hometown to communicate with each other over long distances. Even if you are ten miles away, you can see it, and it is also applicable in the forest. โ
After speaking, Lin Fan couldn't help but admire the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture in his heart, and wolf smoke actually has a place here.
"Wolf smoke!"
Tal stood up suddenly, his face flushed with excitement, looked at the smoke column next to him, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that burning dung and firewood together could produce such an effect." This smoke can indeed be seen in the forest, so that we can communicate with each other in the forest!
The other warriors also talked to each other in surprise, admiring the absurd and bold idea.
The beauty of the eyes glanced at Lin Fan with a little meaning, and there was some curiosity in her eyes. When she was still in Frost Leaf City, she had read a lot of books, involving most countries on the mainland, and she was considered well-informed, but she had never seen a record of wolf smoke.
So, where is Lin Fan's hometown?
