When the devil dressed as a pitiful [Interstellar]

The earth trembled, and the broad leaves made "swish" sounds one after another.

Three figures shuttled through the boundless forest. The two figures in front ran fast hand in hand, and the figure behind them was three or four meters away, trying to catch up with the two in front.

Far away behind the three of them, thick smoke and dust rose up, and after the smoke and dust, mighty beasts rushed forward.

Seeing the beast tide and the three getting closer, the two in front suddenly disappeared, and then the third figure also disappeared into the forest.

……

This is a half-hidden underground cave, slide in from the opening, and there is a large space inside.

The footsteps of the beast hordes above him kept ringing like a gust of wind and rain, and the hidden cave was shaking because of the running of the beasts, and clods of soil and scattered rocks fell down.

The stone wall is crumbling, and it seems that it will collapse in the next second.

The three held their breath and hid near the entrance of the cave, pricking up their ears to listen to the movement outside.

This unexplained beast carnival lasted for half an hour before it stopped.

Hearing the footsteps of the beasts getting farther and farther away, the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can be regarded as saving a life."

A strange voice suddenly sounded from the depths of the cave, and Xiang Dong subconsciously protected Xiang Xi behind him, looking warily into the depths of the cave, "Who's there?"

The sound of rustling clothes and crisp footsteps sounded, and soon a figure came out of the darkness.

Xiang Dong subconsciously looked at the nameplate on the man's chest.

Green, grade C.

While Xiangdong was looking at the nameplate of that person, Di Qiu was also quietly sizing up the person opposite him.

It was a girl with dark hair tied into a high ponytail. She looked delicate and cute, and she seemed to be about the same age as them.

She was holding a stuffed animal in her arms that Di Qiu couldn't name, and she was standing on the edge of the boundary between light and dark, watching the three of them.

The animal, the size of a girl's arms, has a pure white coat and looks a bit like a rabbit.

Its chubby body squatted in the girl's arms, and bared its teeth fiercely at them.

"Little monster, you're not good. You can't just yell at others, it's impolite." The girl rubbed her fluffy head, and her dark eyes swept over the three of them one by one.

When she saw Di Qiu standing in the corner, the girl's eyes lit up, and then she forcibly looked away.

Xiangdong stared at the fluffy in the girl's arms: "This one in your arms, could it be... a grade A beast?"

"Hey, you're quite well-informed," the girl stroked the fur of the rabbit, "I'm a beast trainer, and this is my companion beast, called a mob."

Xiang Xi muttered in a low voice: "Brother, didn't you say that you can only bring cold weapons in? Isn't this a foul?"

"In the distant ancient times, humans have already started to use domesticated animals to participate in combat. If you insist, animals can be regarded as a kind of cold weapon." After explaining a sentence, Di Qiu found a clean stone and sat down. , gasped for breath and began to rest.

He was exhausted, he had never run so tired in his life!

The girl's eyes turned to the pale boy again.

Fluffy hair, delicate facial features like an angel in a picture frame, pale cheeks stained with mud flushed from running.

There are billions of cuteness.

She looked at the little monster in her arms, then at the young man sitting in the corner resting, finally gritted her teeth and ran to Di Qiu in small steps to stuff something into his arms.

Di Qiu was scolding the system in his heart for being such a jerk, when he suddenly felt something heavy in his arms.

He looked down and saw a towel in his arms.

The girl had already run away, and she stood at the junction of light and darkness again, carefully watching the boy pointing at her cheek: "You have mud here, give you a towel and wipe it off yourself."

Di Qiu thanked him, he didn't have a mirror here, and he didn't know exactly where the mud got on, so he just spread the towel all over his face and wiped it off.

The swamp mud that had been on his body before had dried out, and thick clods stuck to his clothes, which were heavy.

Di Qiu simply bent down and cleaned the mud off one by one, so that the clothes that were originally patched had become gray after cleaning them from the beginning to the end.

It is estimated that no one would suspect that he is a beggar.

"This towel." Di Qiu raised his head, shaking the dirty towel in embarrassment, "Do you still want it? What should I do?"

"That, this..." The girl hesitated on the spot, but before she could say something, the rabbit in her arms suddenly stiffened its ears, and howled twice in the direction of the hole.

Then everyone heard the sound of someone looking for someone outside.

"Miss, where are you, miss!"

"Song Yaya! Song Yaya!"

The sudden shouting immediately interrupted the girl's hesitation. She quickly ran to the entrance of the cave with the beast in her arms, and responded loudly to the two voices, "I'm here, I'm here!"

The sound of messy footsteps approaching quickly from a distance, the three of them looked at each other, and heard the anxious voices of a man and a woman outside.

"Miss, you scared me to death."

"Song Yaya, next time you run around like this again, I'll really leave you alone. This is the beast forest, not the back garden of your Song family! If something happens to you, how can I explain to your mother?"

The girl called "Song Yaya" flattered and begged for mercy: "Little uncle, I was wrong, please forgive me, just this once."

As the girl spoke, she was dragged out of the hole by the two.

The young man still complained: "Follow me well, or I will really tie you with me and see how you run. Fortunately, there is no danger, and you know how to find such a hiding place when the beast horde comes. somewhere to hide."

Girl: "I didn't find it, it was the mob who brought me here."

"..." The young man was silent for two seconds, "A beast is smarter than you!"

Girl: "Hey."

Young man: "Okay, okay, don't pretend to cry for me, let's go."

Saying that, the three of them left like no one else.

It wasn't until the footsteps of the three could no longer be heard that Xiang Dong pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "That girl is from the Song family, the beast trainer in the imperial capital."

He poked his head out and took a look outside, "It's almost dark, let's spend the night here first."

"I'll go out and get some firewood and come back, you two don't move around here."

Saying that, Xiang Dong nimbly crawled out of the cave.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, he ordered the two of them to go aside, and then walked into the forest.

About an hour later, when the darkness gradually began to cover the land, Xiangdong hurried back.

He carried a large bundle of dry firewood on his back, and carried two rabbits in his hand, and he harvested a lot.

Xiangdong's ability to survive in the wild is still good, Xiangxi helped out, and Xiangdong quickly set up a bonfire in the cave.

Then the two quickly peeled the skin and grilled it on a skewer, and after a while, the smell of meat wafted from the cave.

Di Qiu lazily leaned against the wall the whole time, showing no intention of helping.

Until the rabbit meat was roasted, Xiangxi tore a rabbit leg and handed it to Di Qiu, "Qiuqiu, you're starving, eat more."

Di Qiu stared at Xiang Xi for two seconds before saying "thank you" and taking the rabbit's leg over.

Xiangdong and Xiangxi ate freshly baked rabbits with relish.

The boy took a bite, but the expression on his face instantly became tangled.

So unpalatable.

It was the first time Mosheng ate such unpalatable meat.

The meat is old and woody, and it also has an indescribably bitter taste.

He secretly glanced at the two brothers, the two brothers eat so deliciously?

In the interstellar era, you can’t just eat these things, right?

【I feel sorry for these two brothers, and I kindly take in this poor workman.In the end, not only did he not get any thanks, but he was also rejected. It was like saving a Zhongshan wolf. 】

[These two brothers, stop taking him!Carrying it will only slow down my legs, I am about to be pissed off! 】

【drop!Little poor death card.Is the little pity dead today?Not yet, I'll come back tomorrow. 】

In order to replenish the human body with strength, Di Qiu bit the bullet and ate a whole rabbit leg.

After the meal, the bonfire made a "crackling" burning and beating sound, and the warm breath enveloped Di Qiu, making him drowsy.

Xiang Dong: "There are still two and a half days before the end of the competition. According to the rules I found in the last competition, the markers are usually thrown in places where there are fierce beasts. We will set off at dawn tomorrow."

Xiangdong: "The beast forest is as terrifying at night as the beast tide during the day. We can't fall asleep together, and we have to take turns to watch the night. Three hours each, so that everyone has six hours of sufficient rest time You choose the time slot first."

The two brothers Xiangdong and Xiangxi were talking about something, and they would occasionally call God Qiu's name when they were talking. Diqiu did not answer each other, and his consciousness became more and more heavy.

Xiangxi's voice seemed to be far away in the sky: "Why don't I be on duty in the middle? Can Qiuqiu be on duty at dawn?"

Di Qiu dimly nodded, and unconsciously leaned against the wall behind him.

He couldn't hear what the two brothers said later.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Di Qiu stared in a daze as if heard by a whisper.

——Hiss, it's the master.

—Whoa, where is the master?

—Master, where are you?

The sound seemed to come from a crack in the stone, and the noisy sound disturbed one's sleep.Di Qiu was feeling drowsy, turned over irritably, and continued to sleep.

In a vague way, he seemed to hear the voices of the two brothers from east to west.

"...tomorrow... we will go find... bring..."

"...be careful... idiot..."

"Shh... woke up..."

"Don't worry... sleep soundly... promise..."

Di Qiu frowned, curled up and moved to the side.

After an unknown amount of time, Di Qiu was forcefully pushed up.

He opened his eyes indifferently, and saw Xiang Xi squatting in front of him in a daze, the arm that pushed him was slightly stiff.

[Ding!Congratulations, you have gained 2 points of fear. ]

Di Qiu woke up instantly.

Above Xiangxi's head, the edge of the originally empty rectangular frame turned a little blue.

And behind the frame bar, there is a line of words: [Fear value: 2]

Di Qiu blinked his eyes, and looked curiously at Xiang Xi: "Why were you afraid of me just now?"

tell me quickly!I'm going to write it down in a notebook so I can scare people.

Xiang Xi withdrew his arm in embarrassment, "I'm not afraid of you, but when you suddenly looked at me blankly just now, I felt like you were going to kill someone, and that's why I was taken aback."

Di Qiu stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Oh."

So what he was afraid of was his own aura.

"Well, my duty time is up, and the remaining three hours will be your watch," Xiang Xi said uncertainly, "Qiuqiu, can you do it?"

Di Qiu: "No problem, you can sleep."

Let him practice his aura again.

"If you really feel sleepy in the middle, just wake me up, or call my brother, don't fall asleep by yourself." Xiang Xi thought for a while, and took out a hollow metal ball from his arms, "This is Beast-repelling incense, fierce beasts hate this smell very much, after you wear it, ordinary fierce beasts will not approach you. You wear it next to your body to protect you."

Di Qiu pinches the small metal ball in his hand and looks at it. The cold and rough touch feels a little harsh. Looking inside from the hollow pattern, one can clearly see a small round ball inside.

A faint fragrance of epiphyllum radiated from inside, piercing into Di Qiu's nose.

Di Qiu looked at the metal ball thoughtfully for a while and then stuffed it into the player's waist, "I see, thank you."

Seeing Di Qiu put away the small metal ball, Xiangxi nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep first."

Going west to east, lying beside him.

The two brothers closed their eyes back to back, and after a while Di Qiu heard Xiang Xi's rhythmic snoring.

______________

In the live broadcast room at four o'clock in the morning, there were not many viewers.

In the live broadcast room of "Wuwen Xidong", there are still a few sporadic single-digit players insisting on staying here.

Compared with the previous live broadcast room of Fengyan, which was partying all night, this place is like a plateau of ice.

[Brother, why don't you go to Feng Yan's live broadcast room, he is this year's seed player. 】

[It's too noisy, the climax hasn't started yet, what's the rush.I'll see when this little poor man dies first, I feel bad if he doesn't die, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. 】

[Hey, why does Xiangxi give the poor little metal ball so familiar? 】

【Didn't he say that he was driving away fierce beasts?It should be used frequently by animal trainers. 】

[I remember that this is a sachet box, which can hold sachets and herbs for repelling insects. It is said that it is an ancient technique handed down from the East. 】

【I also remember that there used to be a beast trainer who didn't believe in mixing up the maddening sachet and the beast-repelling sachet, which caused the beast to run wild and killed the animal trainer directly. 】

【Oh, how I wish this was a sachet to attract fierce beasts, so that I could quickly see the picture of Zuo Jingxiaopi crying bitterly in fright, and finally being bitten to death by fierce beasts. 】

_______________________

The bonfire in the cave was almost exhausted, and a layer of burning ash was spread on the damp ground.

Di Qiu opened the game interface and found that the current time was already four o'clock in the morning.

The originally dark night sky has begun to light up a little. Looking up from the entrance of the cave, you can occasionally catch one or two stars that don't want to leave.

The breeze blew down from the entrance of the cave, blowing up Diqiu's hair hanging from his temples.The hair caressed the cheek, as if the breeze was kissing the boy.

The boy stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, then climbed up on hands and feet.

I don't know what he did, and when he came back, there was more mud on his body.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xiangdong and Xiangxi opened their eyes without waiting for Diqiu to call them.

The three of them tidied up briefly, making sure to extinguish the burnt bonfire with soil before walking towards the depths of the beast forest.

When passing under a big tree, Xiangxi saw a pool of blood on the ground and a rabbit that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.

There was a hideous wound on the rabbit's abdomen, and the blood flowed from that place.

"Brother, look." He tugged on Xiang Dong's cuff, and pointed to the rabbit's corpse, "It seems to be man-made."

"Probably other contestants." Xiang Dong casually glanced at the rabbit, "Don't worry about these, we have to find that place before the others."
