[Twelve Kingdoms] The dance of the vast sky in the mountains

?In the early morning, thick fog shrouded the mountains and forests. In the bright morning sun, there was only a pale and blurred light and shadow, which seemed very helpless.

"Ah~~" With a big yawn, Zhao Xin rubbed his sleepy eyes and shook the marching team, making Ye Ming on the side a little worried.

"Zhao Xin, are you okay? It seems that I chatted with Shao Ting very late last night, do you want to take a rest on Meng Ji?"

"I still don't want it anymore." Zhao Xin waved his hand weakly, "If the old-fashioned, boring, vicious but unexpectedly nagging uncle captain knows, my ears will suffer again. But it's strange, I used to often come back because of land grabs. I didn't sleep all night, and I was still full of energy the next day. Last night, I slept for...an hour and a half...3 hours, which is quite a lot, why can't I wake up today?"

"You're pretty good." The male voice came suddenly, and the two turned their heads, only to see Hao Yi dragging Shao Ting to walk behind with difficulty, and Shao Ting almost hung on Hao Yi's body. "This kid has suddenly fallen asleep four or five times since he started on the road. If he hadn't been pulled like this, he might have fallen asleep on the side of the road at some point, and he would definitely get lost in such a thick fog."

"It's really useless. If you can't do it, try to be brave. One day you will be killed by things like 'face'!" After training Shao Ting, Zhao Xin regained his energy.

Wasn't it you who desperately pulled him and talked to him?He was not allowed to go to sleep until he was sleepy himself.You fell asleep as soon as you fell down, but Shao Ting seemed to toss and turn for a long time before falling asleep.

He will definitely be killed by you.Ye Ming and Hao Yi thought at the same time.

"Monster!!" The sudden exclamation caught everyone's attention, and Ye Minghaoyi and the guards rushed forward, protecting the students of Taixue behind them.Zhao Xin also squeezed up and stretched his neck to look in the pointed direction.In the heavy fog, a group of black shadows dangled around.

"Ah!" Zhao Xin yelled suddenly and rushed forward.

It has been nearly an hour, but the thick fog has no intention of dissipating.

In this kind of weather, it should have been a little later, when the fog had cleared up before starting, but considering the delay of the trip, the weather, equipment and other issues, and since that confused boy joined, he has never encountered any monsters , he decided to order the whole team to set off.

Unknowingly, it seems that even I unconditionally believe in such illusory things as luck.The captain blamed himself silently.

The tail of the team that was advancing at a lazy speed seemed a little restless. The captain turned his head, looked at the light shadows and noises that seemed to be flying like chickens and dogs in the fog, and asked the guards behind, "What's wrong?"

"That..." The guard hurried over, "Someone saw the demon..."

"What?" The captain was shocked, "Hurry up and call someone for help!" He scolded, and rushed to the end of the line, but did not hear the next sentence from the guard, "That monster is actually..."

"Zhao Xin, what are you doing?!" Seeing Zhao Xin rushing towards the demon, Ye Ming grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back.

"What are you doing...Of course it's catching demons, Ye Ming, what are you doing with me?" Zhao Xin asked with a puzzled look on his face.Ye Ming felt that his head was a little big, "Catch the demon? You are still injured. Are you the only one..." Before finishing speaking, Hao Yi suddenly let out a soft "Ah", and the guards all around were also shocked. Show a surprised expression.

"What's the matter?" Ye Ming turned his head and looked suspiciously. The black shadow just now was getting closer, so close that he could see its true face clearly: its body was not as long as knees, its short front legs were bent in front of its body, and its furry hair was almost as thick as it was. The body-sized tail swings back and forth, and on the round head, the pointed nose is slightly upturned, and a pair of rose petal-shaped ears are clustered on the head.

Well, so cute.Unanimously, everyone sighed in their hearts.

"Is this... also a demon?" Ye Ming asked softly.

"Yes, my lord." From the shadow under his feet came the low voice of the scorpion, "This is the weakest monster that only appears in the Yellow Sea. It is called a marmoset ghost. It mainly eats tree fruits and is not a threat to people."

"A tamarin..." Ye Ming repeated.A loud cry suddenly broke the silence of the crowd.

(squirrel!)

Zhao Xin, a Baotou girl, pointed at the little demon and called out. The cry made it startled. It shook its small shoulders and quickly jumped to the side, but was stopped by the person who just ran.

"Well done, Uncle Captain, be careful not to let it run away!" Zhao Xin pointed at the captain who was slightly panting and blushed, and ordered loudly, then turned around and said to the Taixue students and guards behind him: " What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and catch it! Such a cute monster is rare! Ye Ming!" She held down Ye Ming's hand who was about to pull out the sword, (You are not allowed to kill it! I want it to be my pet! Besides, didn’t you say that the smell of blood will attract more monsters!) "Hao Yi! You are so powerful, so be the main force, and there will be a reward for helping me catch it! And Shao Ting! Don’t sleep!" He kicked Shao Ting who had lost Haoyi's support and collapsed on the side of the road, "Get up! There are demons! Demons! Haven't you only seen it three times, this time you can finally see it for the fourth time! And still So cute, you are so lucky to be home!"

Is it lucky to see a demon?Hearing Zhao Xin's reprimand, everyone couldn't help sweating profusely, but when they turned their heads and looked, the little marmoset couldn't help but pause when it saw that its way was suddenly blocked, its two short front paws retracted, and its big tail All the hair on the head is fluffed up, and the round ears are shrugging.

It should be really a lucky thing to meet such a cute monster... Probably...

"Okay, what are we waiting for? It will run away in a while! Let's go up together!" Someone from the Taixue students shouted, and took the lead in rushing up. Immediately afterwards, everyone rushed up.

"Well done!" Zhao Xin admired, pulled Shao Ting who was still awake and squeezed up.

The captain who was left on the sidelines looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and wanted to say something like "don't make a mess, the students of Taixue retreat, and leave this to the guards to deal with", but he couldn't say anything.After understanding what happened, he wanted to rush forward and end the life of the little demon with a sword, so as to stop the people who wanted to capture it alive.But because the reaction was half a beat slow, they were the first to pounce on it. In this situation, it is impossible to kill it. If you can't squeeze it, don't say it. Even if you really squeeze it, it's not easy to wave Sword, easy to accidentally injure others.

However, facing the scene in front of him, he had to stop.

Finally made up his mind, the captain rushed towards the crowd and shouted, "Stop messing around, pack it up and go on the road..." However, his yelling was in vain, and was lost in the crowd's yelling as soon as he uttered it. middle.However, just as the captain was about to give up shouting, everyone suddenly stopped and turned their heads.The captain was overjoyed for a while, thinking that everyone finally understood, but found that people's eyes were not looking at him, but following something in the air.He raised his head following people's gazes in surprise, only to see a group of black shadows flying towards him at an extremely fast speed.In order to have time to react, he only heard a "poof", and the little marmoset spread its limbs, covering the captain's face completely.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed wildly when they saw this.

The captain was angry and anxious, and pulled the marmoset with all his strength, but the little guy was so frightened that he grabbed the captain's hair and refused to let go, the pain made him cry.Although he couldn't see it, he heard the unstoppable "haha" laughter from all around, the veins on the captain's forehead popped up, and he touched his waist with his right hand.

"Ah, no, Captain, you can't kill it!" The members of the guards, who knew what he was going to do, immediately rushed up, held down the captain's hand, and quickly took away all the knives, swords and other weapons on his body.

"Very good!" Zhao Xin snapped his fingers, and slapped the confused Shao Ting forcefully, "It's up to you!"

"Ah? Me?" Shao Ting asked as if waking up from a dream.

"Who else is it not you! This is such a great opportunity. Not only can you observe the monster up close, but you can also have close contact with it. This is something you can't even ask for! Hurry up!"

Everyone stopped their movements when they heard the words, and watched Shao Ting yawn comically and tiptoe towards the captain.

"Let Shao Ting catch it?" Hao Yi leaned towards Ye Ming and asked suspiciously, "What does she think?"

"She did it on purpose." Seeing Zhao Xin's playful smile, Ye Ming couldn't help sighing, and secretly prayed for Shao Ting.

The most embarrassing one at this time was the captain, his limbs were grabbed and he couldn't resist. He wanted to yell at everyone, but when he opened his mouth, the fluffy hair choked him all over his mouth, and his hair was pulled so badly... He was complaining, The strength that restrained the limbs suddenly disappeared, and the "package" on the face also suddenly moved away.He was overjoyed for a while, and was about to take action when, in the reappearance of his field of vision, a huge black shadow pounced on him in the same way as the marmoset just now, and the impact made him back again and again, falling to the ground.The little marmoset jumped to the side of the tree and fled into the forest.

"Stupid Shao Ting!" The captain rubbed his sore head, only to hear a burst of complaints from above, "I told you to catch the monster, what are you doing to catch the captain uncle? If you don't hurry up and chase it, it won't be fun if someone else catches it !” With that said, Zhao Xin grabbed Shao Ting with his uninjured hand and followed the crowd to chase the marmoset ghost.

"Ye Ming Ye Ming Ye Ming, how is it? Did you get caught?" Zhao Xin pulled Shao Ting to catch up with the crowd, found Ye Ming and Hao Yi, and asked hurriedly.

Ye Ming shook his head, "We lost it here."

"How could this happen!" Zhao Xin immediately dropped Shao Ting and joined the ranks of pursuers, only to hear voices like souls calling out one after another in the misty forest.

"Little guy~~"

"Little demon~~"

"Little monster~~"

(little squirrel~~~~)

"Snoring~~" Shao Ting fell asleep again.

Ye Ming shook his head helplessly, and said to Hao Yi, "Tell them to come back, it is impossible to catch that guy in the woods, and in this kind of fog, he will get lost."

Hao Yi nodded, and together with Ye Ming, they brought everyone back. In the end, only Zhao Xin was unwilling to give up, but Ye Ming dragged them away.

"Ye Ming, after this job, you have to accompany me to catch cute monsters!" On the way back, Zhao Xin said reluctantly.

"Okay~" Ye Ming perfunctory.

"Haoyi, if you become king, lend me your unicorn to play with!"

"That... Taifu is not a toy!"

"What, it's not interesting!" Zhao Xin pouted, turned around and patted Shao Ting, "Shao Ting, you are the main force in catching monsters."

"what?!!!"

The screams gradually faded away, and the forest returned to silence.The little demon jumped out from the hiding place, looked at the distant figure, relaxed, turned around, and hid in the fog.There was only a roar, and then there was the sound of something being torn apart.After a long time, a gust of wind suddenly lifted a corner of the mist curtain, where the little marmoset disappeared, a pool of deep red suddenly appeared, which was extremely dazzling.On the side, a pair of yellow eyes like thick water greedily looked at the direction where everyone disappeared, and disappeared into the mist after a while.
