Chapter 9 Bigfoot Bear
Hearing Joseph's words, the smile on Starmark's face stiffened a little, and he clenched his fist with his waving hand.
"Thank you, uncle, I know, there is still time, as long as I earn enough money, I can keep our home, and no one will have to move away at that time!" At this moment, Starmark finally said the reason why he loves money.
The news that the old town was going to be demolished had already been spread, for Starmark, this was his home, it was his memory, his mother died here, his father had not returned, and Starmark had always thought that he had to stay here and wait for him. Starmark had been asking around for a solution, and finally someone told him that as long as he saved enough money, he could buy this place, and then they could live here forever without having to leave!
Hearing Starmark's words, Joseph showed a trace of distress in his eyes, sighed lightly, and then reluctantly maintained his smile and said to Starmark: "Okay, Uncle will also come on, you go get busy, pay attention to your body, although the weather is warm, don't reduce your clothes too quickly, be careful of catching a cold." β
"Good!" Starmark felt warm in his heart and waved goodbye to Joseph.
Out of the city gate west of Prontera, Starmark ran directly in the direction of the Lake of Death, if it was usual, he would definitely rent a carriage, but after this period of making ends meet, Starmark has been telling himself that he must not waste any more money, so even if it is used to rent a carriage, he also chooses to save.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Starmark came to a forest. Looking at the somewhat dim forest, Starmark couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his legs were like lead, and he couldn't move forward.
"I've checked, there are no beasts here, it's safe..."Starmark underestimated in a low voice, this sentence was said to himself, and at the same time it was used to cheer himself up.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Starmark touched the star-shooting crossbow on his waist, then took a deep breath and finally walked towards the forest.
After entering the forest, Starmark's speed slowed down significantly, and he even had to look around every step he took. As the starmark deepened, the surroundings began to get darker and darker due to the dense foliage of the trees.
Starmark gritted his teeth, it would be absolutely a lie to say that he wasn't afraid, he was still a kid after all. But if he chooses to give up at this time, Starmark is not reconciled! So even though he is afraid of death, he still gritted his teeth and went deeper into the forest.
In this way, after another twenty minutes of walking, the surroundings had become very dark, and the strange cries of some birds and beasts had become more and more frequent. Starmark held the star-shooting crossbow in his hand, his nerves tense, and he always felt that something was staring at him. It could be in the bushes next to Starmark, behind the tree behind him, or it could be looking down on him from a branch. Starmark had too many suspicions, but he didn't dare to look at the trees, behind the trees, or the branches that he could see when he looked up. In fear, Starmark's body stiffened, and all he could do was grit his teeth and walk forward.
At this moment, the bushes in front of the starmark to the right suddenly shook.
"Ahh
After the piercing sound of breaking the air, the bushes regained their calm, and Starmark let out a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to investigate, and even he, who needed money so much, gave up the crossbow arrow, which required five gold coins each.
However, just as Starmark was breathing a sigh of relief, there was a sudden movement not far behind him, and it was very loud, and it was obvious that something was rapidly approaching him.
Seeing this, Starmark's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted in surprise: "Don't, don't come!
As Starmark spoke, the trigger on Starmark's crossbow had been pulled down by Starmark, and an arrow burst out of the air, heading straight for the creature that was rushing towards Starmark.
At this moment, only a sound appeared in the shaking bushes.
"Damn!" With this scolding, a figure suddenly jumped up from the dense bushes, dodging the attack of the star-shooting crossbow. Starmark's head was blank at this time, he didn't hear what the voice was at all, but he saw something jump up, and dodged the arrow of his own star-shooting crossbow, and immediately raised the star-shooting crossbow in his hand in a panic, and shot at the guy who jumped up again.
This arrow has been shot, and Starmark can see clearly what the guy who jumped up is, it is a person, and it is a person that Starmark is familiar with, it is Andre who is wearing a swordsman's suit!
Andre saw that the star mark made up an arrow towards him, and his face became ugly, when he was on the ground, he could still dodge, but at this time, the person was already in the air, and he couldn't avoid it at all!
"Stinky boy, you want my life! I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" Andre closed his eyes and scolded, he still knew the power of the crossbow shooting, and he would definitely not be able to stop it by himself. He secretly cursed in his heart that he was not shot to death by this kid in the first place, but died this time, and this time he was not to find trouble with the star mark, but to help!
"I'm wronged!" Andre cried bitterly, and then the sound of breaking the air came through his ears. Andre's forehead was suddenly covered with a layer of cold sweat, but then he found that he was fine! Starmark was so nervous that the arrow actually missed!
Andre immediately rolled over and landed, then grabbed the hand holding the star-shooting crossbow and scolded at him: "Stinky boy, you can see clearly and shoot again! You want my life!"
Xingji was still a little confused at this time, but seeing that it was Andre, he finally recovered a little, and said with a dry cough: "Whoever let you follow me secretly, don't blame me for dying." β
After hearing this, Andre's face darkened, and he scolded: "Stinky boy, I was kind enough to help you, but you said that! I'm so angry, I shouldn't have come to help you!"
Starmark's eyes flashed with a fluctuation when he heard this, and he clearly remembered that Abner had told AndrΓ© that if he dared to meddle and help him, then stop calling him master. Abner didn't know how important Andre was to Star Scar, but at least it belonged to a very important column, otherwise Andre wouldn't have been so excited. So when he heard that Andre was here to help him, Starmark set off a circle of ripples in his heart, and the words that he wanted to continue to sarcastically mock Andre were stuck in his throat and could no longer be spoken.
Starmark looked up at Andre with a huffing appearance, and said with a pout, "What can you help me?
After hearing this, Andre snorted coldly and said: "Of course I'm afraid! But I don't want to owe favors, you spared my life at the beginning, so I can worship the teacher, so I have to repay this favor." β
Starmark's heart warmed after hearing this, and there was a rare softness in his eyes when he looked at Andre. But he was still very sharp: "Who spared your life? I didn't kill you that day, because it costs five gold coins to shoot an arrow from a crossbow, you know! If I shoot you to death, my arrow will be dirty, and I will definitely not use it again, do you think your life is worth five gold coins?" So you go quickly, if the province is seen by that stinky old man, you will have to rely on me if you are expelled. β
Hearing Starmark's words, Andre was so angry that he almost wanted to give Starmark a stinky beating right now, so that he could know what the fate of a cheap mouth was! But Andre also knew in his heart that the reason why Starmark said this was to let him leave so as not to be discovered by Abner, which was for his sake.
After thinking clearly, Andre not only didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll leave when you get there, or if you go alone, it's estimated that you will be scared to death if you can't get anywhere." β
"Who's scared to death!" Starmark immediately argued.
Andre said with a wicked smile on his lips that was enough to fascinate many girls: "I didn't know who it was just now, I was so scared that I shot randomly, I see, even if you can go to the place, it is estimated that you will go with your pants wet." When I met the master, I must have smelled of urine. β
When Xingji heard this, his face immediately turned red, for a child, it seemed that he was more concerned about wetting his pants than scolding him, and immediately argued with Andre with a white face: "Who pees his pants!
Before Starmark could finish speaking, Andre suddenly took him in his arms, reached out to cover his mouth, and threw his body down, directly pressing him to the ground.
Starmark was stunned, and just as he wanted to ask, he saw Andre make a silent gesture to himself, and looked vigilantly at a giant tree in front of him.
Seeing this, Starmark naturally followed Andre's gaze, and at first Starmark didn't see anything different, but after a few seconds, with a low roar, he saw a tall figure walking out from behind the tree. Seeing that figure, Starmark's body trembled uncontrollably, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
"Bigfoot!" Starmark was shocked, he had seen Bigfoot Bear from the illustrated book. According to records, Bigfoot bears belong to the category of magical beasts, and most of them inhabit the vicinity of Feiyang City, because their bear paws are much thicker than ordinary bears, and they are a very popular ingredient among wealthy merchants, and they are preferred hunting objects by some hunters and middle and high-level adventurers in Feiyang City.
However, as a member of the bear family, Bigfoot bear's combat power is naturally not too weak, so most of them are caught by traps. If it is an actual battle, it will be easier for adventurers with at least level forty Xuan Power to deal with. However, Andre's Xuan Power had only just broken through level 20, and Star Scar was only slightly stronger than a child of the same age, so it was impossible to deal with Bigfoot Bear.
At this moment, Starmark suddenly felt Andre pat him on the shoulder, and then the voice came, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll entangle it, you find a chance to leave." β
