It was just after noon, the hottest time of the day. It was summer, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky, seeming to coat the forest with a light white light.
On the outskirts of North Forest, there are areas set aside by several colleges. Although there are dangers inside, the outside is a good place for students to try out.
The three Edmonds also came here when they were promoted from junior college to high school.
That was the worst time for them. Edmund himself was seriously injured and almost did not recover.
My thoughts couldn't help but fly out of the sky.
In comparison, He Yunchao and Qiao Xiyin seemed very calm. Qiao Xiyin had never been to a place like this before, and it was quite strange to see the trees on both sides gradually receding.
It is said that the war between humans and demons a hundred years ago took place here and it was here that the demon clan was destroyed.
Therefore, even if there were other opportunities to approach and assassinate the Great Elder, Qiao Xiyin still chose to take on this task.
There is no barrier between the outside and inside of the forest, but a line is drawn as a reminder that both sides are open to the outside world.
Passersby saw the five people walking deep into the forest, whispering to each other. Who makes this team so weird? They are all young people, and there is also a little girl who is not sure whether she is an adult. Do you think this is a vacation
After walking inside, the place suddenly seemed like two worlds. The forest was tall and dense, blocking a lot of light and making the field of vision appear narrow and dark.
Beverly waved, and a large silver-gray mass appeared out of thin air in front of her. Stretched out, it turned out to be an adult fox, combing his hair.
fox
Qiao Xiyin missed the little fox in the Lingquan space.
She is also a person with a fox, and she is not jealous at all, hum.
Seeing Qiao Xiyin looking over, He Yunchao quickly understood the reason and held her shoulders, "There are many spiritual beasts in the North Forest. If your highness likes it, just hunt a fox."
The demons don't need a fox like a contracted spirit beast. At most, they can just capture it and keep it as a pet.
But, he started to get jealous.
Why does Qiao Xiyin have a soft spot for foxes? He also wants to become a fox.
"never mind."
Fox, one is enough, the one at home will only be jealous.
The system has a complicated look on its face, "You actually compete with a fox for favor."
Isn't he just a fox? He has really forgotten all about himself.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't see it, He Yunchao would have really wanted to give it a look. What kind of sarcastic words are you talking about
The fox was very smart and walked ahead of several people to clear the way. Edmund added a friendly word, "Xiao Yin is very sensitive to the road and usually doesn't make mistakes."
It was a "you've earned it" tone.
He Yunchao smiled gently, "Fortunately we formed a team with you, otherwise we would have gotten lost here as soon as we came in."
Here, he doesn't want to argue with people too much. If things get too big, it will affect their actions. They were just a few children, but he didn't take them seriously.
Mike always had a straight face, like a loyal knight guarding Beverly, and his well-developed muscles almost overflowed.
Under the leadership of Silver Fox, the five people found a clear spring before sunset.
After night falls, the power sealed in the forest will spread around, making it unsuitable for traveling. They had already planned to find a place to rest as soon as it got dark and not to continue moving forward.
You have to rely on your legs to walk all the way, and no matter how good your physical fitness is, you will get tired. People like Qiao Xiyin had been reluctant to move for a long time. At this time, the trouble of teaming up with others was exposed. She could not use the teleportation circle to find that kind of plant openly.
Edmund took out the magic stone for lighting, prepared the dry food he brought, and shared it with his companions.
Looking back, there was only Qiao Xiyin playing with her feet up beside the clear spring, and He Yunchao had disappeared.
The little girl sat on the stone, swaying her legs intentionally or unintentionally, enjoying herself. The light of the lighting stone shone on the water drops, and then refracted the brilliant light, which was extremely beautiful.
"Qiaoqiao," he called her involuntarily, "do you want to come and have dinner together?"
Beverly glanced at him.
That's right, he is the default boss in the team, and he always has to take care of his teammates, a young girl. Naturally, he is the focus of attention.
But where did He Yunchao go? Shouldn't a knight always guard his master's side
"No, thank you," the little girl's lips curled up slightly, "Brother He will be back soon."
Do you call the knight your brother
They were quite close.
Beverly thought.
She was right, He Yunchao came back soon.
He was holding a rabbit in his hand. The rabbit fluttered in the air a few times, as if it had expired.
After finding a branch and inserting it into the rabbit's body, He Yunchao snapped his fingers, and bright red flames jumped up, reflecting his face alternately between light and dark.
The rabbit meat was roasted until it was golden and shiny, "sizzling" with oil. When the fire was almost done, he took out some bottles and jars like magic and sprinkled them on the rabbit.
Storage devices are not difficult to buy. Generally speaking, magicians with some financial strength will be equipped with them, and Edmund and the three of them are no exception. But the storage space is limited after all. Their storage containers are filled with life-saving things such as weapons and potions. At most, they can store some food to fill their stomachs. How can they be used to store condiments
What a waste of resources.
Even the silver fox was attracted, walking back and forth around He Yunchao, watching with eager eyes. It seemed that as soon as He Yunchao stopped, he would pounce on the rabbit and snatch it away, even if it had already eaten the prey when He Yunchao left.
"It's a bit hot," He Yunchao lowered his head and blew on it and said to Qiao Xiyin, "I'll eat it later."
Qiao Xiyin nodded obediently.
Two people are not real people, and it doesn't matter whether they eat or not. Since He Yunchao said to find something to eat, Qiao Xiyin just let him go. I thought it was a plant like a fruit, but I didn't expect it to be a rabbit.
She has always felt that rabbit meat is a delicacy in the world.
"This kind of rabbit" Edmund said with struggle on his face, "The rabbits that can live deep in the North Forest are of a high level, and most of them should live in groups."
This is why they don't hunt game. Deep in the forest is a paradise for animals and plants, with no trace of human activity. That's fine, what if they go hunting for game and provoke a bunch of them
Unexpectedly, He Yunchao seemed to come back easily.
"Ah, really?" He Yunchao shook the rabbit in his hand, looking very innocent. "When I walked over, this rabbit ran towards me and hit the tree to death."
Qiao Xiyin ""Ha, ha.
What is this? He Yunchao version is waiting for the rabbit.
This statement was half true and false, and its credibility was pitifully low. Edmund's face was full of suspicion, but he couldn't ask more questions. At least they were safe now.
He Yunchao broke off a rabbit leg and handed it to Qiao Xiyin.
At this time, there are no tableware, and there is nothing to be restrained.
The rabbit meat was firm and delicate, and Qiao Xiyin was satisfied with it. Even the silver fox that circled around them got a small piece of meat.
The three people eating hard dry food beside them resisted the urge to look over there. They could only watch their eyes, nose and heart, pretending not to smell the smell coming from over there.
Their attitude towards He Yunchao and the two of them was not very good before, but now they couldn't bear to ask them for meat.
After dinner, Qiao Xiyin went to the spring to wash her hands, took another handful and drank it. The spring water is sweet and tastes good.
Like the water in her spiritual spring space, she usually doesn't drink it and uses it for bathing.
Oh, and before playing with the little fox and raising the fox, if anyone dared to waste her spiritual spring water like this, she would skin that person.
After resting, rest on the spot, judge the time based on the rise and fall of the sun, and set off again after dawn.
He Yunchao put out the fire, and Edmund also put away the lighting stone and lay flat on the ground. They have been on many similar missions, where the sky is like the quilt and the earth is like a pillow. After doing it too many times, there is no restraint.
It wasn't Qiao Xiyin's biological clock yet, so she wasn't too sleepy. Instead, she was very excited and got up after the three of them lay down.
Without the lighting stone and fire, she was now unable to see her fingers. Even if they opened their eyes, they couldn't see what she was doing.
He Yunchao raised his head to look at her. Qiao Xiyin bent down, shook her head gently, and motioned for her to go and take a walk.
He then followed her lead.
Qiao Xiyin could feel the presence of demons everywhere in this forest, and even the ground beneath her feet was cheering a little. That was probably their welcoming ceremony for the arrival of the new king.
Were the demons destroyed here
She walked around the spring.
Demons are creatures that move in the dark. Qiao Xiyin has inherited the inheritance, so her night vision ability is naturally very good.
At first I thought the spring was just a small pool, but as I walked deeper, I actually saw a huge lake.
In the dark night, the lake surface was calm and calm, not even a ripple. What makes Qiao Xiyin strange is that they saw no traces of living creatures along the way. I wonder if the creatures here are too sensitive to the presence of humans, or there are only a few of them.
When "rabbit" mentioned creatures, she thought of He Yunchao who came over with a rabbit, "Brother He, where did your rabbit come from?"
elder brother
She had never called him that.
Invisibly, it seemed that the distance between the two of them had been shortened, and even the air was filled with a greasy sweetness.
"It's easy to find. There's a big nest hidden over there," He Yunchao pointed casually, pressed the corners of his slightly curved lips, and said in a calm voice, "You are very timid. If Your Highness is interested, I can take Your Highness there."
Isn't it
The blood of the demons flows through every inch of the North Forest, blending with the plants here and taking root deeply. It can be said that the spiritual beasts within are more or less stained with blood, so it is not surprising that rabbits are afraid of them.
Only when he came to North Forest, the existence of the demons would become real, and it would remind him of the war a hundred years ago.
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it is unforgettable.
