Bounty Hunter

Di Chu was really angry. After he finished speaking, he jumped off the rock and went straight into the forest to hide himself. He said far away: "See you tomorrow when the mission begins."

Kong Que sat on the stone in a painting posture, but he still didn't react.

The atmosphere was very embarrassing, and everyone's mood was a little complicated.

After hanging around with Mr. Kong for so long, this is the first time they heard someone express their dislike for birds (them) in front of them...

"Cough." Cheng Xiu, who suddenly understood the reason why Di Chu retreated before, let out a low cough, breaking the silence of the camp.

Kong Que took back his pen, turned off the optical brain, and asked, "Did you see which direction he was going?"

Huang Tao, who has better eyesight, raised her hand: "The direction of the mutant redwood forest."

"Go and have a look and be safe."

"Yes." Huang Tao stood up, jumped lightly, and disappeared into the forest.

Half an hour later, Huang Tao returned to the camp and said apologetically, "Sir, I was thrown off by him and I couldn't keep up at all."

Although Huang Tao's hunter level is only A, but in terms of tracking, it is difficult for an S-level hunter to match him. As a result, he can't even catch up with an F-level hunter.

It just hits self-confidence.

Kong Que was not too surprised when he heard the words, and said: "It's not your problem, this is his home field, and he is a plant department with excellent abilities, so it's easy to get rid of you."

Everyone in the camp was stunned when they heard the words, and carefully moved their eyes to look at Kong Que's expression.

Don’t think that Mr. Kong is very gentle with everyone, but that’s just an appearance. The real Mr. Kong is polite but not easy to get close to. He is kind but doesn’t take most people into his eyes. They didn't reveal their true thoughts, they looked close and felt far away.

What Mr. Kong said just now sounds ordinary, but anyone who is familiar with Mr. Kong can know that Mr. Kong probably admires the young boy of the plant department very much, and is also a little unconsciously close.

This is so rare, you must know that this is the second meeting between Mr. Kong and that boy.

Is it because of the previous "life-saving grace"?

The rich young man had some other thoughts about Kong Que in his heart, and his eyes were almost glued to Kong Que. He naturally discovered Kong Que's unusual kind and indulgent attitude towards Di Chu, and remembered that Kong Que was going to draw Di Chu's head just now. His expression was almost distorted with hatred.

Why is that dwarf with bad temper and poor strength!That is, relying on the kindness of the gentleman!

Fortunately, he didn't ask Mr. Kong to draw his profile picture for himself, otherwise Mr. Kong's fans would spray him to death!Run away, it’s best not to come back again, this green mountain has been inspected [-] times, there are a lot of information, so I don’t need any guides!

……

Dichu went back to his cave and stayed there for a while, and when his anger subsided, he went back to the vicinity of the camp, nestled on a tree and stared down.

It's time to get angry, but the task still needs to be done. The employer is here, so he can't go too far.

When it was dark, an unmanned delivery plane flew over the green hills, and dropped the takeaway boxes with the logo of a certain restaurant into the camp at a fixed point.

Qingshan is a protected area, and the animals and plants inside are not allowed to be destroyed and hunted at will. It is even more taboo to cook with fire, so the three meals of the inspection team can only be solved by takeaway. Fortunately, with advanced technology, takeaway can be found anywhere. There is no need to be afraid of bad food when working in the field.

Di Chu watched with novelty the takeaway box slowly descending with the airflow, hovering at a height of about 1.5 meters above the camp, was confirmed by Cheng Xiu to receive the goods, and finally fell to the ground steadily, his already round eyes stared even more round up.

There are some common sense that are too common, which are not specifically mentioned in the books, so he never knew before that now the takeaway has become so powerful that it can be delivered at fixed points in the mountains where there is no one.

Kind of magical.

The box opened, revealing all kinds of tightly packed food inside. The distance was too far, so Di Chu couldn't see what was inside, but he was a little hungry.

He considered whether to go to Neishan to hunt a chicken and roast it.

The information prompt sounded suddenly, and he turned on the optical brain to look, and saw that it was a new message from the employer on the Hunter APP, and glanced at Kong Que who was sitting at the only table in the camp, moved his body, and pointed open.

Kong Que: When I came back for dinner, I specially ordered a vegetarian meal for you.

Di Chu's face darkened, he instinctively felt that this person was targeting him, but remembering that Fei Ye once lit a table of grass for him, he reluctantly admitted that this person might just be purely kind.

He glanced at Kong Que in the camp again, and typed: I want to eat meat.

Kong Que's news came back quickly: Come back, I'll give you meat.

Di Chu immediately jumped off the tree, walked closer to the camp, and stopped five meters away from the camp as usual.

The half demons who were putting food on the table were stunned - when did this guy come back, why didn't he show any breath or movement?

Kong Que was also a little surprised that Emperor Chu came back so quickly, and then realized that this man probably didn't run far at all. Seeing him standing far away from the camp with a straight face, he suddenly felt that he was a little cute, so he suppressed his smile with a low cough, I got up and picked a set meal with mixed meat and vegetables, and left the camp with the takeaway box.

"Shall I set up a table for you to eat?" He handed the lunch box to Di Chu and asked intimately.

Di Chu glanced at him, did not pick up the lunch box, but turned his back, lifted the hem of his jacket and exposed his back to his eyes, paused for two seconds, then turned back to pick up the lunch box, and walked towards the big stone, Bian said, "Even."

Kong Que was startled by the exaggerated tree pattern on the boy's back.

He has seen a lot of plant-type new humans, such as juveniles with extremely serious mutation marks, and he has only seen one or two cases after living for so long, and those people, without exception, eventually became the existences at the top of the hunter list.

The future is boundless.

The word came to his mind.

But it must have been hard.

He looked at Di Chu who was concentrating on eating, and frowned slightly.

The deeper the mutation, the higher the degree of animal and vegetable body, if there is not enough strength for support, their body will soon lose its activity, leading to death.The boy's entire back was covered by lines, and the spine had even become woody. If he didn't take care of it properly, his spine would become stiff, paralyzed, or even killed.

This problem can be big or small.

He wanted to go forward and talk to the young man, but he remembered the "chat" the two of them had collapsed before. He paused and chose to go back to the camp. He also took a meal, and an extra soup and fried meat Cake, walked out of the camp, and sat next to the boy.

The people in the camp watched their husband leave with a croquette that didn't fit his food aesthetic, and they were all stunned.

"That little guide just now, did you play tricks on Mr...." A bird half-demon with a more docile temperament said weakly.

Because it was blocked by Kong Que's body, everyone in the camp only saw Di Chu's movement of lifting his clothes, but did not see the condition of his back.

"Shameless!" The rich boy was so angry that he almost broke his chopsticks.

"This time the inspection was fun." Another half-demon who didn't think it was a big deal happily ate a chicken leg and chose to watch a play.

Huang Tao and Cheng Xiu glanced at each other, and at the same time glanced at the rich young man without any trace, and sighed in their hearts——Mr. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for too long.

……

Beside the boulder, when Di Chu saw Kong Que approaching, he instinctively turned sideways and grabbed the lunch box tightly.

Like a cub guarding food.

Kong Que wanted to laugh again, he handed the croquette over and asked, "Talk for 10 minutes, is that okay?"

Di Chu sniffled, relaxed his body a bit, reached out to take the box, moved it to the side to make room for him, and said, "Just 10 minutes."

How could it be so easy to coax.

The corners of Kong Que's mouth twitched, and he sat beside him, did not speak immediately, but began to eat quietly.

Five minutes later, Di Chu had almost finished his meal, and began to move his chopsticks towards the meatloaf. Kong Que said at the right time: "After I left here last time, I asked someone to transfer your household registration information."

Di Chu paused with his chopsticks, his body tensed silently.

Kong Que didn't seem to be aware of it, and continued to say while he was picking up vegetables, "So I know you haven't received systematic education, and you haven't received a comprehensive physical examination. Just now you showed me your mutated features. It has already turned to wood, I suggest you go to a big hospital for a good checkup, so as not to affect your body."

Dichu was a little confused.

"I can arrange a hospital for you for free. In exchange, I want a piece of wood from you." Kong Que spoke bluntly. He no longer tried to use coaxing to get closer to Di Chu, but talked about it on an equal footing. conditions.

He has already discovered that this young man who has not received human education has a simple and direct way of doing things like a beast.If you treat it with falsehood, he will reciprocate disgust and resistance to you. If you are honest and sincere, he will immediately withdraw his claws.

A very interesting person, pure, cute... just a bit fierce.

Di Chu continued to be confused, looked sideways at Kong Que with wide eyes, swished him several times with his eyes, and finally confirmed... the kindness released from this man is really kind and unadulterated.

Hypocrisy is easy to deal with, but kindness is a bit difficult to deal with. The teacher said that you can't repay kindness with complaints.

"...Thank you. But there's no need for the hospital. I'm fine." Di Chu frowned and replied, glanced at the fried meat pie, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do you want to investigate when you come to Qingshan this time?"

The little animal finally let go of its defenses and smoothed off the blown fur.

Kong Que continued to take food slowly, and replied honestly: "More than a month ago, the patrol plane discovered a valley that should not exist on the green hill. It may be a mirage, or it may be the distortion of the machine's recording picture caused by the change of the magnetic field, but At that time, the ancient plants distributed in a large area in the valley attracted the attention of the research institute, and I came here for that valley."

Di Chu lowered his head and bit the meat pie, feeling very guilty.There is only one valley on the green mountain, which belongs to the inner mountain, and is usually well covered. More than a month ago, he accidentally broke the barrier, which briefly exposed the valley.

...It turned out that Kong Que was attracted by him, and the root of the problem was him.

"Qingshan Reserve is one of the existing protected areas in Huaguo with a low degree of environmental and landform variation. Any change here is worthy of the country's attention. When I came here secretly last time, the magnetic field on the mountain changed suddenly, and thick fog rose in the forest. The optical-brain communication signal disappeared, and although the video recording equipment was operating normally, it only took pictures of a vast expanse of whiteness. My optical-brain video recording function did take pictures for a short time, but the content captured was of no research significance."

Kong Que spoke slowly, while Di Chu listened silently.

"When you found me that day, I remembered that I fainted by a lake. I searched through the information on Qingshan, but I didn't find such a lake." Kong Que looked at Di Chu, "So, Mr. Guide, can you Take me to that lake again?"

Di Chu felt that the meatloaf was not tasty anymore, so he frowned deeply. After hesitating for a moment, he made a decision. He turned his head to meet his gaze, and said firmly: "There is no lake, that is your illusion, but do you want more wood?" ?”

Kong Que was puzzled: "Wood?"

Di Chu nodded, touched his back with his backhand, took off a piece of bark, and stuffed it into his hand: "Here."

Kong Que looked at the bark (human skin?) that was still warm and stained with blood in his hand: "..."
