Located between the tropics and subtropics, the island is full of spring and produces a variety of fruits throughout the year. They hastily ate some fruits, burned some pieces of meat, and prepared to set off. But Feren and Ace said that they had to be more prepared and asked them to wait a little longer, and they had to rest on the bamboo chairs in the shade of the trees.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Feren and Ace had not yet arrived, Alice couldn't sit still and wandered around the village. Although the scale of Xiaomo Village is not very large, the distribution of buildings is relatively scattered, one house in the east and one house in the west, and some houses are built on big trees. Alice jumped and flipped over on a branch and climbed up the tree with a wooden house.

"Ah, sister, there's a wooden ladder up there. Out of the wooden house came a little girl of eleven or twelve, holding a bamboo sieve in her hand.

Alice smiled, "Little sister, what are you doing?" She saw that there was a lot of grain in the bamboo sieve that the little girl was holding, and there were some sand and gravel grains mixed in it.

"Well, I'm raising chickens here. The little girl smiled cutely, pointed to the hut behind her, and said, "This is my chicken coop." ”

"Is the chicken coop built on a tree?" Alice looked in through the wooden window, and there were a dozen or so fat birds in the house, which were divided into four fences. Alice had never seen chickens like this, and she could see that they were fat, but they looked very ugly and vicious, and wondered, "Is this a chicken?"

The little girl nodded: "Well, this is a kind of chicken that is a specialty of our Xiaomo Island, and we call it Xiaomo Chicken." ”

"Xiao Mo, hehe's funny. Alice smiled.

This kind of fat little grinding chicken is larger than the average large watermelon, round and bulging, and the feathers of these captives are blue-black, tan, brown-yellow and so on. Their tails and wings are short, and their heads are piled up between fluffy feathers, and their necks are completely visible. They have a big red meat pocket hanging from their chins, which is really unsightly.

The little girl said, "Don't look ugly and fierce, but its meat is very delicious, but it is very troublesome to cook." When you come back from defeating the monsters, I'll have to make one for you to eat. ”

"Uh-huh, yes. Alice nodded again and again, "But you're going to keep them in a tree?"

The little girl went into the hut and sprinkled the grain into the fences, saying, "Because the little mill chicken is very aggressive, it often harasses us." Moreover, their main food is slimes, and every household in the village has slimes, which will cause a lot of change. They can't fly, so keeping them in a tree doesn't have that much trouble. ”

Alice also went into the cabin and took a closer look, and suddenly heard Hurington calling herself, so she said to the little girl, "Then I will go first, and when I come back, you must invite me to eat this little grinding." ”

"Well, definitely. The little girl nodded in affirmation.

After getting out of the treehouse, Hurrington said to Alice, "What are you doing up there?"

"I want you to take care of it. Seeing that Faeron and Ace were coming, Alice said, "Can I go?"

Ace said, "Wait a minute. As he spoke, he opened the small bag he was carrying on his back, took out some things and threw them at them: "When you go up the mountain, you apply this to your body." ”

"What is this?" Alice took the small paper bag and opened the outer wrapping paper, which contained a yellow, powdery cream-like thing.

Bing Zhi smelled it and said, "This is a fish oil ointment, which is made from the fish fat of the ghost fish and the internal organs of several sea creatures. He turned to Faeron and Ace, "Do you have saprophytes on this mountain?"

"What saprophytes?" said Feeron, "there is a highly poisonous slime in the depths of the mountain, there are quite a few of them, and if you apply this fish paste, its smell can drive away those guys." ”

Hurrington said, "It's the Swamp Slime." ”

"Hmm. "Ice Childish Evil and the others each put away the fish paste, and set out with Faren and Ace towards the mountains on the island. Before leaving, the village chief also ran out and told them to be careful.

At first, there were still a few trails to follow, but after the first hill, the trail became less noticeable, and the deeper you go, the path gradually disappeared.

This island is very large, and when Bing Zhiye overlooked it in a hot air balloon, he found that Xiaomo Village was only a corner of the island, and most of the island was full of mountains and old trees. With the ability of the ice childish evil, there was no need to climb mountains and wade through rivers like this, and he could have taken the emperor dragon Zafino and flew directly to the highest peak to find that monster. It's just that killing monsters is not his main purpose this time, but more importantly, of course, it is to train his apprentice Alice. ,

How did Alice not understand the master's hard work, so when she encountered the attack of monsters and monsters along the way, she was brave and took the lead, a short bow, two short swords, plus her fist and foot martial arts, but she also danced wildly and killed a lot of little monsters.

Hurrington, on the other hand, was more like a tourist, holding the staff of Muhronigan, whom he had renamed - unyielding, eight metal eyeballs spinning behind him. He himself walked leisurely, looking east here, looking west there, whistling from time to time in his mouth, humming songs, when he encountered the monster, he didn't need to move, a few eyeballs repelled the monster, it was really not idle.

Unlike Hurrington's idleness and Alice's tiredness, Bing Zhixiao is more like a dull boy, silent and rarely speaks along the way, as if he is thinking about his own affairs all the time.

Faeron and Ace wondered, wondering how could a little girl fight desperately while the two boys watched.

Bing Zhixiao saw that Fei Lun and Ace were a knight and a warrior, and they seemed to barely have mid-level strength, but there was still a gap between them and the real middle-level horsemen and warriors who graduated from regular graduate schools and experienced a long mercenary career. In particular, the performance of magic martial arts is weak, and they are used to use ordinary martial arts such as dozens of mountain collapses and flames, and they don't see any strong moves. However, they have quite a lot of experience in dealing with these monsters on the mountain, what monsters, what habits, what weaknesses, they all know clearly, and they can always launch some targeted attacks. Moreover, their bow and arrow skills are very skilled, and many demonic beasts were killed by their archery skills before they could get close.

Bing Zhiye walked up to Alice and said, "You can learn from them, their martial arts are simple, but every move is used just right, and they have a lot of combat experience in dealing with demonic beasts." Magicians must have different ways of fighting than warriors and knights, and I can't teach you that. ”

"I know the master. "Alice was not originally a studious person, but under the influence of the ice childishness, in order not to drag down her master, she also became very fond of learning. Since entering the mountains and forests, she has been fighting with Faren and Ace, in addition to taking care of each other, but also to learn more from them.

Gradually, it became dark. Faeron looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds: "It's not good, it's going to rain." "The weather on the island changes from day to day, from sunny days one minute to torrential rain the next.

Alice asked, "Why is it bad when it rains?"

Ace put away his bow, drew his arrow, and said, "When it rains, the slime will become very active, and if we go any further, we will enter the area where the poisonous slime is active, and it will not be good for the fish oil paste we applied to our body to be drenched by the rain for a while." Pheron, do you think we should go back today and come back another day?"

Fei Lun also felt that this was the best choice, and decided to go back for the time being.

Who knew that Bing Zhixiao suddenly said: "No, we won't go back." ”......
