Chapter 166: Hitomi Bear
Luo Youting was not too satisfied with the review of the wind spirit, if he scored it, it should be around seventy or eighty. However, this is a reorganization of the legion after all, and it is already quite good to be able to develop to this strength. If it weren't for the fact that many of the reorganized soldiers were old men with several years of experience, it would have been impossible to achieve this level just by relying on two months of training for new recruits.
Although the recovery of the wind spirit's strength is limited, the situation of the West Spirit has been dragging on for a long time, and it can't be delayed any longer. After careful consideration, Luo Youting still agreed to let the Wind Spirit Legion go on the expedition, but he instructed Long Feng that he still couldn't relax his training when he was out on the expedition. At the same time, it is also proposed that when confronting the demons, if you don't have the upper hand, try to take conservative defensive measures.
With Luo Youting's approval, Long Feng began to prepare for the expedition, which involved too many problems, such as the formulation of the marching route, the problem of passing through the checkpoints along the road, and the preparation and transportation of armaments and materials, all of which needed to be solved in advance. After Long Feng sent Luo Youting away, he immediately summoned the personnel above the sixth-order brigade general within the legion to discuss the matter of going on the expedition.
The demon clan is like a bamboo, and the wind spirit is about to go on an expedition, and these news are gradually spreading everywhere, but everyone in Pingsang Village has no idea about this matter, and the people in the village are still living their own ordinary lives.
On this day, Yu Feng and Bai Ya went up the mountain to work, and they did not come back until evening. Yu Feng's mother was worried in her heart, and walked around the yard uneasily, muttering quietly. Yu Feng's father was not in a hurry, and he was packing up the little firewood left in the house and preparing to make a fire for cooking.
"The two children had been out for a day and hadn't come back, so I wouldn't let them go. I said, old man, go out and look for it, don't act like you're fine. Yu Feng's mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to urge to find someone.
Yu Feng's father seemed to know in his heart, and he didn't move his body when he heard the words, and continued to do his work, "I said don't worry about it, neither of them is a child anymore, speaking of Yu Feng, that kid is better than me now, they will definitely be fine." Yu Feng has been with us since he came back, and now that the two of them have finally gone out together, how can they come back too early. Let's take care of their young people's affairs. ”
Although hearing this, Yu Feng's mother stopped her anxious steps, but the uneasiness in her heart did not decrease in the slightest.
After a while, dinner was almost done, and Yu Feng seemed to have calculated the time, so he came back at this time.
As soon as the two entered the house, Yu Feng's mother eagerly greeted them, "Where have you two been, why have you been there for so long, and you didn't come back until it was dark." ”
Yu Feng smiled, "It's okay, we went around the mountain." It's been so many days since we came back, and we haven't practiced the exercises taught by the master anymore, so today we found a secluded place in the mountains to practice. ”
"It's so big up the hill, it's very secluded everywhere, and it's so long to look for it, and come back so late. The mother complained again.
Yu Feng didn't say anything more, came to the stove on the side, and put the pile of firewood he was carrying next to the stove. Yu Feng's father looked at his achievements today and frowned, "You went out for a day today, and you brought such a little thing back? This little thing can be done in two hours at most." ”
The mother hurriedly stretched out her hand and patted him, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, didn't you hear the child just say that he was going to practice, of course he can't get so many things." ”
Yu Feng also hurriedly said: "We really didn't do much work today, but don't worry, we will go up the mountain again tomorrow." Saying that, he glanced at Bai Ya with a smile, and found that the other party was also looking at him, as if there was some secret between the two, they looked at each other and smiled but did not speak.
Bai Ya took the lead in retracting her gaze, and went back to the room without saying a word, and then Yu Feng also said hello to her parents and went back to the house. The mother only shouted in the back, "Hey, what are you two going to do, you have cooked well, and you still can't eat?" Saying that, she was about to go back to the house to call someone, Yu Feng's father grabbed him and said with a smile: "Forget it, the two children have been on the mountain for a day, and they must be tired, let's eat first, don't call them." ”
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Yu Feng and Bai Ya went out again. This time, they still brought those tools from Yu Feng's father, and they only brought back some firewood yesterday, which was not enough for their family to live for a few more days, so this time they went up the mountain for the same purpose as yesterday.
As soon as she turned to the top of the mountain road, Bai Ya asked, "How is it, are you still going to the valley today?" If you don't go, I will go by myself. ”
Yu Feng thought for a while, "Let's go later, go up the mountain first and finish the business, and then let's go together." Otherwise, if it is delayed any longer, there will be no way to explain when you go back. ”
Bai Ya smiled slightly, "Let's go to the valley first." You see that the set of swordsmanship you practiced yesterday was the same as the one you practiced in front of the villagers a few days ago, and there was no progress at all, but it was a lot behind the level of Lushen Island. It's okay to deceive these folks who have never seen the world, you can't see it to me! At your level, how can you give people a sense of security in the future, can you give your father and mother an explanation?"
Yu Feng was speechless about this call, his head lowered, and there was no follow-up. Bai Ya didn't follow him to ink, grabbed him again, and dragged him away.
Bai Ya found a good place to practice the spiritual method, and now she found another companion. For the next few days, she would always pull this wind into this valley every day, and she would have to stay here for at least half a day. But today is different, today we have to complete the task assigned by our parents, otherwise the family will run out of food.
After spending a morning in the valley, Yu Feng finally regained the feeling of practicing swordsmanship when he was on Lushen Island, and the moves he used finally lived up to Bai Ya's painstaking efforts.
After noon, at Yu Feng's strong request, the two finally left the valley and returned to the mountains and forests. Relying on his memory, Yu Feng searched for edible wild vegetables or fungi in the forest, and it took almost two hours to harvest a bumper harvest and collect enough food for the family for seven or eight days. Although this is not a good thing, it is the fruit of his own hard work, and it is also the most precious wealth that this mountain forest has given to the people around him.
Bai Ya followed Yu Feng and helped him look for it carefully, or directly collected it, but she also rubbed Bai Nen's hands dirty, and she was tired of sweating. Despite this, she sometimes intimately helped Yu Feng wipe his sweat, making him feel that this hard and tiring work was also full of sweetness.
Feeling that they had picked a lot of things, the two of them prepared to go down the mountain and go home. I had just walked a few steps when I heard the sound of "rustling" coming from the forest next to me.
Hearing the movement, Yu Feng immediately stopped, "Shhh In the grass, a bear-like creature was crawling on the ground, its body was not large, almost half the size of a bucket. The hair on his body is light gray, and his body takes up some dirt, which looks like a hairball from a distance. At this time, he was facing away from Yu Feng, and his head was looking around.
Bai Ya also walked over gently, looked inside, and said softly, "This is... It's a bear, isn't it? Do you have bears in the mountains?"
"Of course there is, I met it once when I was a child, that time it was met by the villagers on the mountain together, and I don't know how to get it, everyone finally worked together to kill it and drag it back down the mountain, and several people were injured that time, and my father was also injured?" ”
They had been walking around the mountain for more than two hours today, but they had also encountered two small animals, both of whom were relatively sensitive, and did not catch them. This time, when he met a bear cub, he naturally wouldn't let it go, and as he said that, Yu Feng opened the bow and wound it and aimed it at the bear.
This bear was also very alert, hearing the movement behind him, as soon as Yu Feng's bow was wound, it flipped on the ground, its bones went to the other side, its body twisted around, its eyes just stared at Yu Feng and Bai Ya, and at the same time, there was a trace of uneasiness and horror in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.
Yu Feng was shocked, and he didn't have a chance again, but he had to try it anyway. So he turned around and turned to the bear again. At this time, Bai Ya suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed down Yu Feng's bow and arrow directly. "Don't, don't shoot it!"
Yu Feng was stopped by Bai Ya, frowned, and asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Bai Ya pointed to the bear in front of her, "Don't worry, this is not an ordinary wild bear, look at its forehead." ”
Yu Feng looked at the little thing again, just now he was only aiming, he didn't look too carefully, now look at it, it is indeed a little different from ordinary bears. On its forehead, there is a small slit that is obscured by hair, and it is impossible to see it unless you look closely.
"What is that, is it a scar?" Yu Feng squinted at it.
Bai Ya shook her head helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, see that its hair is relatively tender, and its size is so small, you can know that it is still a cub at a glance." Don't you feel ashamed to have done so much to such a young being? And how could it be that it is still young, how can it have such a scar on its head that seems to have recovered from it?"
"He's young now, but sooner or later he'll grow up. The people at the bottom of the mountain are ordinary villagers, and they may come across it again when they go up to work on the mountain, and they will be injured by it. Yu Feng unconsciously touched his forehead as he spoke, "Besides, what does this have to do with the scar on its head that I don't know what it is." ”
"Stupid, that's the point. Bai Ya looked pensive and tried her best to recall, "Have you forgotten that I have read the "Spirit Beast Record"? I remember that it is recorded in the book that there is a kind of bear-like spirit beast, born with three eyes, extremely intelligent and sensitive, and its spirituality is the strongest among bears. And their cubs only have two eyes at the beginning of their birth, and only when they absorb the mana of heaven and earth in the process of growing up can they open their three eyes. This beast is called the Hitomi Bear, and I think it's one of those species. ”
"What, it's a spirit beast?" Yu Feng glanced at the pupil-eyed bear carefully, watching its body curl up and staring cautiously at his side, "It's timid by nature, and it can't even run, how do I feel like it." ”
"The personality of beasts is also different, and since it is so timid, it must not be harmful. Bai Ya took out two fruits from some of the food collected by Yu Feng and threw them at the pupil-eyed bear, "Besides, spirit beasts are rare things, and they have been extinct a lot since ancient times, and this alone means that we can't do anything to it at will." ”
The pupil-eyed bear looked at the two fruits thrown by Bai Ya, and its body involuntarily flashed to the side, although it moved quickly, its slightly bulky body fell to the ground because of this. Then he got up and glanced at the two of them, raised his foot and slowly moved to the fruit, picked up one and sniffed it first, and then dared to put it in his mouth.
Its appearance provoked Bai Ya to chuckle, watching it start to eat the fruit, Bai Ya pulled up Yu Feng again and stepped back, "Let's go too, don't disturb it, let it finish eating by itself and go to its parents!"
With that, the two of them returned to the mountain road and walked down the mountain......
