Cute Beast Food Garden

in the woods.

At this time, the night was dark, and the three of them formed a triangular formation and sprinted among the grass.Qi Yan walked obliquely in front, Le Hong followed in the middle in a daze, and Si Dongmo walked obliquely behind, guarding the safety of the two of them.He was holding a pair of bows and arrows in his hand, the arrows were already on the string, and the blade was hidden in the cloth belt tied on his left arm, and he was fully on guard against the movement around him.

Lao Kang said before that the wolves have been sneaking around them, which shows that they still have the killing intent on Lehong, the "prey".At this time, they left the big guys and walked into the forest, just to seek a chance to fight the wolves one-on-one.

It's just that their opponents are not ordinary beasts, but smart guys with wisdom.They failed to ambush Si Dongmo last time and lost a few helpers.Even if Si Dongmo took the initiative to walk into the dense forest this time, they would not act hastily, but would be more cautious.I don't know what tricks he will use this time.

Besides, they said that there were three people, but in fact only Si Dongmo could be counted as combat power.Le Hong is still caught in the painted wolf's fascination, his head is dizzy, and he can't do anything except obediently walk forward, which will undoubtedly become a variable.

After wandering around in the woods for a long time, not to mention the painted wolf, I couldn't even see the shadow of a small animal.As the saying goes, go all out, then decline, and exhaust three times, Qi Yan is a little worried, the initial tension and alertness have passed, and their nerves will inevitably start to feel tired and relaxed, and the later this will be the more dangerous time.

Although the enemy has not appeared, the battle has already started.This is a psychological game, and as natural hunters, wolves seem to have a stronger advantage, which makes people have to guard against it.

After walking for almost an hour, when it was approaching midnight, the surroundings were still silent.Qi Yan walked ahead a little tiredly, holding a torch in his hand, looking around aimlessly.

Suddenly, under the light of the fire, an unknown black shadow flashed in front of him.

"There are..."

Before Qi Yan could speak, he heard two crisp swishing sounds, and the two sharp arrows flew away from the string, drawing two straight silver lights in the darkness.

"Pfft", the sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh was extremely strong, and something fell from a high place in front of it and fell heavily to the ground.But they didn't have time to find out what it was.Si Dongmo suddenly flew over, pinned Le Hong who was standing there dumbfounded, and threw him to the ground, avoiding the big wolf rushing forward from the shadows; he raised his other hand , piercing through the air, cut open its belly neatly.

In less than 20 seconds, the man had killed two wolves.

"They are indeed around." Si Dongmo panted slightly, helped up his dazed younger brother, and checked.Turning his head again, "Qi..."

The next second, he froze.

Two Qi Yan held torches and stood behind him.

He wiped his eyes abruptly, opened his eyes again, and found that he was not dazzled.Two teenagers with exactly the same appearance and clothes stood there holding a torch each, and cast uneasy eyes at him.

Seeing Si Dongmo's expression, Qi Yan turned his head and looked at another "self" who appeared by his side at some point.

"What's going on?!" The two "Qi Yan" exclaimed at the same time, even their voices were exactly the same.

"I know—it's a painted wolf!" Qi Yan reacted in an instant, pointed at another Qi Yan, and shouted at Si Dongmo in a panic, "Si Dongmo, it's a painted wolf, and it pretended to be me. look!"

However, the other Qi Yan also screamed in panic, and backed away tremblingly: "Si Dongmo, he is the painted wolf! He catches thieves and beats them up!"

The two Qi Yan pointed at each other, and at the same time loudly defended Si Dongmo, pointing out that the other party was the painted wolf.However, their appearances and voices, even their expressions and tone of voice were exactly the same, and the light here was really dim. Si Dongmo couldn't figure out why even if he looked left and right, so he could only shout loudly: "You two Come on, stop arguing!"

His eyes swept across the two "Qi Yan" sternly, and he ordered without doubt: "You all raise your hands, hold the torches, and stand still in place, don't move, and don't hit each other! Whoever comes first If you move, I will determine who is fake, and I will never hold back!"

The atmosphere in the woods froze, tense to the extreme.The two Qi Yan stopped arguing, but stood still in place as Si Dongmo said, holding the torch with both hands and holding it up high.

Qi Yan stared at the other "self" next to him.In the dark where the man couldn't see, the painted wolf in human skin glanced at him, with a strange arc drawn at the corner of his mouth.

He calms down.This painted wolf, compared to the last time he sneaked into their house disguised as a strange boy, his skills have improved to a higher level.The person in front of him was so similar to himself that he thought it was his "clone". It was even more difficult for Si Dongmo to distinguish, especially in this dangerous and tense atmosphere.

Qi Yan guessed that Painted Wolf played this game to confuse Si Dongmo, so that he could take the opportunity to get close to this man and kill him.The only thing he could count on now was Si Dongmo. He still had a weapon in his hand, and he was strong enough to fight against the wolves.

"Si Dongmo, the attack of those two wolves just now was a cover. They attacked you from the front, just to let the painted wolf mix in with us." Qi Yan said calmly, "Now, neither I nor it move."

Si Dongmo stared at him.I heard the other Qi Yan next to him also say: "Si Dongmo, the painted wolf is pretending to be me, trying to make you confused, so as to attract your attention. You must look around carefully, don't let The other wolves took the opportunity to sneak attack!"

The two "Qi Yan", the two rhetoric, seem to make sense.Si Dongmo looked even more confused. Beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead. While thinking about how to tell the truth from the fake, he also had to protect Le Hong and watch out for possible sneak attacks around him.

Qi Yan was shocked when he heard what Painted Wolf said.The other party can not only pretend, but also conduct careful thinking, justification and reasoning, which is terrible.The matter has come to this point, and the stalemate will only become more and more dangerous, because just like what the real Painted Wolf said, there are still many dangers buried in the dark, and he also has a confused younger brother, the variable too big.

"Roar..."

There were bursts of muffled low growls from the bushes, and the hairs on his body stood on end.He scanned his surroundings nervously, tilting the torch slightly forward, and at the same time, he had to beware of the false self behind him.The painted wolf had already created a stalemate. Neither Si Dongmo nor Qi Yan dared to act rashly. At the same time, other evil wolves around him had quietly surrounded them.

It is a very ingenious strategy, as the so-called "inside should cooperate with outside".

Qi Yan knew that he had to break this deadlock as soon as possible.He wanted to prove his unique qualities to Si Dongmo and make him believe in himself.

Traits... What else is there besides voice, appearance?

Suddenly, Qi Yan had an idea.

——Of course he is different from ordinary people, he is a spirit beast!

"Si Dongmo, I can prove that I am Qi Yan." Qi Yan raised his hand, "Do you still remember the incident when I fainted before we set off? The incident when you thought my brain was broken."

"Hmm..." Si Dongmo looked back and forth between the two Qi Yan vigilantly, and finally nodded slightly, "How do you prove it?"

Qi Yan slowly recalled the feeling when he took the elixir before, gathering the air in his body in his throat.

The next second, he opened his mouth, and blew out a huge fireball from his mouth, illuminating the entire pitch-black bush.

"Uh... wow!"

At the moment when he blew out the fireball, the other Qi Yan next to him looked at the bright flame, trembling with fright, retreating again and again, with his arms folded and tucked in front of his chest, in a defensive posture.

The next second, Si Dongmo made a move - he rushed forward, kicked the fake Qi Yan's heart, and kicked it to the ground on all fours, a white light flashed in his hand, and the sharp blade was already horizontal in front of its throat.

"No...Si Dongmo, I am the real one!"

Fake Qi Yan—or the painted wolf wanted to defend himself, but Si Dongmo chuckled lightly: "You are very smart, you can pretend to be a human, imitate human voices and movements, but the skills that are exclusive to spirit beasts you But cannot imitate.

What's more, I saw early on that even though you were holding a torch, you were still very afraid of fire in your bones. This is your irreversible wolf nature!The wolves around are approaching, and the real Qi Yan can't help being nervous and scared, looking around, but you are not wary of them in the jungle, because you know they won't hurt you! "

He mocked coldly: "At the end of the day, you are just a beast, a beast, why bother to pretend to be a human?"

Qi Yan squinted at the painted wolf who was knocked down on the ground, shook his head, and sighed softly: "painted wolf, painted wolf, if you lead your men to face-to-face confrontation today, the chances of winning are much greater! You have a large number, cooperate We have a tacit understanding, and Si Dongmo and I are dragging the burden of Le Hong, weak and sloppy in action, and we will go through a hard fight with you wolves.

But you are too conceited, and the success of repeated disguises made you get carried away. You really thought that your wisdom could defeat human beings, but you automatically sent it to your door to show your flaws, which is why you ended up like this! "

Painted Wolf opened his mouth in a daze, but was rendered speechless by what he said.Qi Yan's temptation to blow the fireball just now has exposed his true nature thoroughly, and it's hard to get over it.The Painted Wolf narrowed its eyes, and was about to open its mouth, and wanted to make a final struggle, but Si Dongmo had already restrained it, and he put the handle of a knife into its mouth with one hand, resisting its throat, making it silent; The other hand tightly strangled its throat.

"Whirring whirring……"

The painted wolf let out a horrible panting sound. Since it was covered with a complete human skin, its expression did not change, but it slowly rolled its eyes.

The black eyeballs masquerading as humans were gone, replaced by strange green pupils that belonged to wolves.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the shadow of the tree behind them—wolves, big wolves, four or five came one after another, and they saw that their leader was exposed, so they hid no longer Unable to stop, he quickly rushed out from between the bushes, and approached Si Dongmo one after another.

Si Dongmo didn't let go, he still strangled Painted Wolf's windpipe tightly.Seeing the wolves attacking here, Qi Yan waved the torch in his hand in desperation, and blew out a fireball from his mouth again.

It is the nature of wolves to be afraid of fire, and the appearance of flames makes the pack nervous.Qi Yan stood behind Si Dongmo, waved the torch towards the wolves, and blew out fireballs, making them afraid to go forward.

In order to prevent Night Changed from having more dreams, Si Dongmo held down Painted Wolf's body, and resolutely killed him.With a light "click", the painted wolf's neck was completely broken by Si Dongmo, and its legs kicked and rolled over, completely out of breath.

After the painted wolf was completely dealt with, Si Dongmo slowly got up from the ground and turned around.He held the lifeless painted wolf in his hand, Qi Yan caught a glimpse of the painted wolf still wearing the same human skin as himself from the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Si Dongmo's expressionless face, he couldn't help feeling a little creepy .It's like seeing another self die in front of my eyes, this feeling is indescribably creepy...

"Hmm..." Seeing that Si Dongmo was holding the corpse of their leader in his hands, the surrounding wolves could not help but let out a low growl, their deep eyes were fierce and menacing.

However, for Si Dongmo, the most troublesome painted wolf has been eliminated, and the wisdom of other ordinary wolves is far from being able to compete with humans.

He dragged the confused Le Hong behind him, then took a few steps forward, and stood side by side with Qi Yan.

"How?" the man said softly.

"Kill them." With Si Dongmo standing beside him, Qi Yan gradually gained confidence, "Let's go together."

Although it was the first time they cooperated, they had a surprisingly tacit understanding.Si Dongmo rushed forward to resist the successive attacks of the wolves, while Qi Yan was obliquely behind him, covering him with fireballs and venom.When Si Dongmo was concentrating on dealing with the big wolf rushing up in front, Qi Yan aimed at his side and blew fireballs, preventing the wild wolves who were trying to outflank him from taking advantage of it.

Not long after, several wolves were knocked to the ground.Seeing this, the remaining three or two stopped stubbornly resisting, and began to retreat with a low growl.

Qi Yan turned his head, "Chasing?"

Si Dongmo said decisively: "Chasing. Wolves are very vengeful things. Once they escape, they will come back for revenge! We must kill them, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Go to the mouth of the valley below."

Qi Yan led Le Hong, and Si Dongmo cleared the way ahead with a bow and arrow. They quickly drove the remnants of the wolf pack down until they reached the exit of the valley.

There, the hunters who heard the movement were already fully armed.With bows and arrows in their hands, they lay in ambush cautiously, quietly waiting for the prey that escaped from the hillside...

Before dawn, the hunters had already followed the direction pointed by Si Dongmo and collected the bodies of the pack of wolves one by one.Less damaged wolf skins can be utilized, and some wolf meat can be stored for consumption.

Qi Yan and Si Dongmo dragged the dead painted wolf back.Before arriving at the destination, a faint light suddenly appeared on Qi Yan's body, and his whole body shrunk sharply, turning back into a bird again.

Si Dongmo saw with his own eyes that Qi Yan "shrunk" from a human form to a fluffy little dumpling again.He stopped and picked up the bird and placed it on top of his head.

"Guji Guji." The little bird kicked his calf.

"Are you tired tonight? Go to sleep."

The man's voice was low, but his tone was gentle.The little bird squatted down on top of his head, curled up with its little wings hugging its fat body, fell asleep in the man's soft black hair, and gradually closed its eyelids.

=====

"...Hey, such a big wolf! My God, is this a spirit?"

"Is this wolf's skin a wolf's skin or a human's skin?"

"Stupid, this is neither a wolf's skin nor a human's skin! This is the spell of the stinking wolf itself, and it cannot be an ordinary skin."

"Speaking of which, this painted wolf was finally killed by Brother Mo, hahaha..."

Qi Yan woke up from the chatter and laughter, and found that he was still a little bird, lying limply in Si Dongmo's straw hat.

He turned over and struggled to climb up from the straw hat, shaking it a few times.

Finally, with a pop, the straw hat fell to the ground, and the little bird like a red fur ball rolled out of it, spinning dizzily.

"Ah, the little bird is awake!"

"I'm going to call it to eat."

While rubbing his eyes with his little wings, Qi Yan suddenly felt his back being gently pinched and lifted up.It was Si Dongmo, he picked up the bird and put it on the grass in front of him, and threw the straw hat into his backpack.

"Cuckoo..."

Qi Yan looked around, suddenly startled: he saw the two Le family brothers in front of him hugging a shriveled dead wolf together, and on the other side there was a pile of white skins piled up in a mess. The painted wolf's body is peeled off, its "coat".

The bird took small steps and slipped away from Si Dongmo, wanting to go and see what happened.But it didn't take a few steps away before it was picked up from the ground and put back on the spot again.

"Eat first, then watch the painted wolf."

Si Dongmo's tone was very gentle, but what he said was unquestionable.The little bird blinked and blinked, but obediently sat down in front of the man, waiting for him to come and feed him breakfast.

Si Dongmo took out a scone from the package, broke off a piece and put it in front of the bird, and opened his own bamboo tube, letting the bird stick its mouth into it to drink water.

After returning to the original shape, Qi Yan's appetite also decreased a lot.The little bird sat on the grass, using its small wings as hands, holding the scones and eating them, taking small bites, enjoying it very much.

The man watched it obediently eating pancakes, couldn't help but find it very interesting, and watched it with great interest for a long time.It wasn't until Ah Jin ran over screaming that he withdrew his watching gaze and turned around: "A Jin, what's the matter?"

"Hey, Brother Mo, look, what did I find on that stinky wolf?"

Ah Jin spread out his palm towards Si Dongmo, and there was actually a purple round bead inside.

Si Dongmo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Ah Jin in disbelief: "This... Could it be that you once told me, the elixir for spirit beast cultivation?"

"That's it, that's it! This is a good thing, ah..." Ah Jin carefully held the purple panacea, glanced around vigilantly, then lowered his voice and said, "This thing is my elixir. I found it from the pile of skins of Painted Wolf. It should be saved by Painted Wolf himself, but I haven't had time to use it. I saw it with my own eyes at Boss Lan's before. He told me that this thing is very effective for spiritual beast cultivation Shapes are useful."

Si Dongmo took the elixir from his hand, put it flat in the palm of his hand, thoughtful.

Ah Jin scratched his chin and continued: "I reckon that although this painted wolf has the ability to pretend to be a human, it has not really acquired the ability to transform into a human. So it has always kept this panacea by its side. It is still hidden under its own skin. Alas, it is fortunate that it has not yet fully transformed, so it can only rely on painting skin to deceive. If it really turns into a human form, all the hunters and mountain hunters in our area will have to Be deceived by it until there is no bones left!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"It's okay, Jin." Si Dongmo put his hand lightly on his shoulder and patted him reassuringly, "The hunters at the mouth of the valley last night recovered all the wolves' corpses, even the 'battlefield' It has also been cleaned up, and there will be no blood left around the pine forest to attract bloodthirsty beasts. We are safe. And—” He turned half a step, looking backward, “Honger is also safe.”

Last night, after the hunters at the foot of the mountain helped to surround the wolves, Si Dongmo handed over the sober Le Hong to Lao Kang, entrusting him to bring his younger brother back home, and to bring the news of his safety to his mother .Mrs. Le is staying at home alone at this time, she must be very concerned about her two sons on the mountain.Si Dongmo himself continued to stay on the mountain, continuing to pick pine cones with the Le family and his son.

"Lehong seems to be back to normal."

"Well... finally woke up." The man breathed a sigh of relief, "After the Painted Wolf died, it seems that the enchantment it cast on Hong'er has also been lifted."

"Brother Mo, you have done a great deed to the mountain people here this time!" Ah Jin said with emotion, "This painted wolf is notoriously sinister and vicious in the mountains, and it does a lot of harm. This time it finally fell, and its accomplices were also wiped out."

He pointed to the elixir in Si Dongmo's palm again, "Brother Mo, you can save this elixir for the little spirit beast. It doesn't seem to have transformed yet? After it transforms, you can eat this elixir Use medicine to refine your skills and improve your abilities."

The man blinks.

"Cough. Ah Jin, actually..."

"Well, what?"

"Actually... the little bird can already transform into shape." Si Dongmo said truthfully, "The boy I met in the town that day was transformed by a little spirit beast."

"So...!" Ah Jin's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the back of the little bird eating sesame cakes, "The one who came with us...Qi, beauty Qi Yan, is that little ocher magpie?"
