Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 16 Dry Bones (2) The Mysterious Hunter
"Homework?" Xia Ming smiled. "It's not that I blow it, for me, it's quite easy. ”
"It's not easy?" Fei Lin crossed his arms, lowered his voice and said proudly, "Do you think I won't know your true face?"
Xia Ming was so stunned that he couldn't speak, he had obviously covered it up well.
"But I really didn't believe it when that kid Zhang Monkey said it, I really don't know what that kid was proud of. ”
Xia Ming didn't say it, he did use a monkey to cover up the truth at that time. But even he didn't know why he wanted to cover it up, wasn't it a matter of honor? Could it be that because of the "cheater," people would stay away from him? But what did it have to do with him? Why should he care about other people's opinions?
"Be careful!"
Ferrin shouted in a low voice.
He suddenly took out the knife, only to hear two clicks, and a foot worm that was a meter long was cut into two pieces, falling into the dead leaves and rolling in pain.
Xia Ming broke out in a cold sweat, danger often comes from things that people overlook, but they are usually fatal. Thankfully, Felin reacted quickly.
Mu Siyu suddenly appeared in front of them, looked at the dead foot worms on the ground, and then looked at Xia Ming with a sharp gaze. "Looks like you're a nuisance. ”
Xia Ming's face was rarely slightly stiff, but he didn't say anything, after all, he really shouldn't be here with them.
As the team moved on, Xia Ming raised his vigilance, his eyes scanning around, looking for a "target" to prove that he wasn't in trouble.
But he never waited for a chance to prove himself. Before he even noticed, someone in the team intervened, eliminating the lurking threat as if their eyes could see farther.
This made him very unwilling, he was not a nerd, and he must not be left behind.
"It's okay, winter is coming soon, you know, winter is coming soon.
Those things must be eaten before they go to sleep. I'm a hunter, and I know more about this than you do. Ferrin said next to him.
Xia Ming nodded, and he asked, "But how do you know where they are?"
Fei Lin smiled, "I don't know how they know, but I can recognize their location because of the 'sense of smell'"
"Sense of smell?" Xia Ming wondered.
"Orion's sense of smell is probably it?" Ferrin shrugged his broad shoulders. "I really can't help you. ”
"Sounds reasonable, I can't argue with that!"
Xia Ming hung his eyelids and yawned.
"You haven't told me why you're here?" said to Felin.
"It's itchy to the bone. ”
"Do you have itchy bones, too? I thought you were a calm man. ”
"There's another reason I'm here. Xia Ming suddenly became serious.
"What is the reason?" Fei Lin was stunned. "Of course, if it's convenient. ”
"It's just a guess, and even if I come, it won't change anything. ”
"It's a bit of a doorway, can you tell me about it?"
"Change of the guard!" another command came from Mu Shiyu's mouth, interrupting their conversation.
"Busy, brother!" With that, Fei Lin swept out and replaced the striker's Mu Siyu back.
Her hair was on her forehead, sweat was sliding down her cheeks, she really needed to rest for a while, Xia Ming had seen her swing a knife - she couldn't see it at all, but none of the dangers lurking in front of her had been left behind, and it was impossible for her little brother or even Fei Lin to do it completely.
"How far is it?" Xia Ming asked, not wanting to stay with this man for too long, so much so that he hoped that this trip could end sooner rather than later.
A drawing he flew in, and he caught it. He compared it for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's a rule here. Mu Siyu seemed to see through his thoughts, and suddenly said.
"The longer you walk here, the farther you go. Xia Ming saw her smile like a fox, puzzled and at the same time felt that something bad was happening.
"What, what do you mean?"
Mu Shiyu ignored him and left him behind in two clicks.
Xia Ming stared blankly at the drawing in his hand, and suddenly felt that it was useless.
Fei Lin, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped, he looked around, and turned his head to look at Mu Shiyu suspiciously.
"I think I'll have to check the position. He said.
"Don't check, keep going. Don't look at the distance, you can only find it if you look for the direction. ”
Mu Siyu tossed the disk (2) to him.
Fei Lin didn't ask much and continued to move forward.
But after a long time, this time it was Mu Siyu who asked everyone to stop.
It was already dark, and they had to blow the wick out of the bottle.
Mu Shiyu suddenly stretched out his hand, and everyone looked at Xia Ming.
"What's wrong, do you need help?" Xia Ming didn't know how he could help.
Mu Siyu didn't bother to tell him, and directly pulled out the drawings tied to the buttons.
Bringing the lamp bottle closer to the drawing, she had a solemn look on her face, "It's impossible to go in the wrong direction." ”
"If you go around and scout carefully, it should be in this direction. Again, she affirmed.
"Nope. Felin suddenly said, "It's there!"
He pointed to a slightly sunken piece of soil not far ahead, and Xia Ming also remembered the surrounding scenery when he looked at it.
This was the same place where he had been a hunter last time, and the monster's corpse should have been lying there, probably rotting, and it should be smelling far away.
Mu Siyu frowned and walked towards the area, judging from its size, it was a dark wolf, but the traces of the surrounding battle had long been erased by the autumn wind.
"How much more do you know?" she said!" she was slightly upset by Felin's concealment.
"I don't want to hide anything. However, this was killed by Ah Ming alone. Fei Lindao no longer cared about her face.
Mu Shiyu's face really had that kind of disbelief and doubt, but he knew that this was the truth in his heart.
But the brothers did not speak, and they did not know that there were such powerful people hidden in their ranks. If they had known, they wouldn't have given him such a polite face.
The autumn wind blew into the territorial world and into the forest, and the ancient giant trees shook and the dead leaves fell.
Quiet, too quiet, Xia Ming faced the cool breeze of the forest, his body stiffened suddenly, suddenly pulled out the flare gun, quickly loaded the ammunition, pulled the trigger, and fired a dangerous red flare into the sky.
"What are you doing?" Mu Siyu questioned.
"It's too late to explain, anyway, get out of here. He shouted at the same time.
The flare had already been launched, but at this moment, a thunderbolt pierced the sky, as if deliberately, and the dazzling light drowned out all the colors of heaven and earth, and even the darkness could not escape.
The sky cracked, the wind rushed in desperately, and Xia Ming and the others had to stick their hunting knives on the ground to temporarily stabilize their bodies.
The second lightning fell with raindrops the size of beans, and it was a coincidence that winter was coming. In ancient times, there were four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but there was not much difference between summer and autumn and winter and spring in the territory world, and the arrival of winter was called "winter fall", which is so called because its arrival never greeted, but suddenly came at a certain time on a certain day, which caught people off guard.
The rain was cold, and at night they would turn to snow before they knew it, and the territory would soon change into a white coat and be as quiet as an old man in a wooden state.
The lamp bottle was extinguished, and it was pitch black.
A strange low sound sounded from all around, like a rolling stone in the throat.
A green flame passed through the forest, and they could see what it was at once.
It was a monster, the hideous huge wolf head was stained with withered blood, the white wolf teeth were exposed to the air, the gray heat gushed out from between its teeth, and a spike appeared on the top of its head, all the way down, as if the ribs were piercing the back, it was like a rotten black bone spur wearing a "battle armor".
Mu Siyu took a cool breath, but it wasn't because of this monster. She'd seen it, but few noticed that beside it stood a dwarf, dwarfed hunter in a cloak, and the rain was washing the blood off his hunting knife.
They seem to get along very well? How is that possible?
In the moment when Mu Siyu was distracted, the monster pounced on them, the last bit of the signal flare was extinguished, and the blood beads continued to drip from the tip of the knife, dim, and the sky was already dark......
