Chapter 150 Lead the way
Does that male live there? Are you the owner of the forest?
What kind of beast is he?
It's a pity that I didn't fully see what he looked like last night.
Xia Ling returned to the house, washed briefly, changed her clothes, and prepared to continue going up the mountain.
She had just heard from other orcs that some of them would rush up the mountain, while others would stay here and wait and see.
Many of them have never been to the mountain and want to wait and see.
Xia Ling found it boring to stay and decided to go up early.
She also thought about going to Mixiang Forest again, which should be on the mountain.
The entrance seemed to be nearby last night. After wandering around the forest all night, I doubted that I had walked many mountains.
It’s better to hurry up the mountain and learn more about the terrain.
She packed her things and set off.
By coincidence, it was the little fox from the fox tribe and his black-faced guard who walked out of the restaurant in front of her.
"Anu, can't we rest for a day before leaving?"
complained the little fox.
Black-faced orc: "Senior Red Fox has arrived at Lingshan."
Little Fox: "What, Lord Red Fox is really here."
His face was full of shock and admiration, and he nodded: "Then let's leave quickly."
The little fox, who originally wanted to hide, hurried out.
Hearing the words "Sir Red Fox", Xia Ling's mind was filled with thoughts about the nine-tailed red fox from last night.
Isn't it the drunken fox demon you're talking about?
Xia Ling shook her head again. Are they talking about "elder"? It sounds like he is very old, but he shouldn't be.
Thinking of the nine-tailed red fox, she also inexplicably thought of the orc she saw at the cellar entrance.
I don’t know what happened to the fox demon or whether he will be dealt with by the orc. Judging from his appearance that he is so weak that he can’t even move a stone, he is definitely no match for the orc.
Hey...
It seems that he still owes him a few bottles of spiritual fruit wine. If he can still meet him, I will give it to him.
There was only one way up the mountain, and Xia Ling followed the Fox clan people all the way.
The higher you go, the stronger the aura becomes.
The strange thing is that her sensitive sense of smell did not smell the scent of honey-scented butterfly flowers all the way.
Has the protective layer of spiritual power isolated the entire Mixiang Forest?
Or is Mi Xianglin not here at all?
"Hey... Xiao Ling'er, how could you leave me and come back by yourself?"
Suddenly a familiar voice came from Xia Ling's shoulder.
Dung beetle? I almost forgot about him.
But, how come this guy climbed onto her shoulder quietly and she didn't feel it at all?
Xia Ling turned around and saw him looking at her with a resentful look on his face, complaining in every voice.
"Hmph! I took you to the Honey Fragrance Forest and drank some good wine."
Speaking of this, Xia Ling's eyes lit up.
She immediately cried and cried: "Brother Ye, you are finally back. I have been looking for you for a long time, and I thought you dug a hole yourself and ran away first."
Dung Beetle: "..."
He drank a few sips of wine yesterday, and then he became drunk. When he woke up, he found that there was no one around him. Fortunately, he is born with a strong sense of direction and can find his way no matter where he is.
After discovering that Xia Ling was not in the dense forest, he dug a tunnel and came back.
Seeing this guy going up the mountain by himself, he completely forgot about him and suddenly became very angry.
Just being blocked by her, he couldn't say anything.
Xia Ling rolled her eyes: "Hey...Brother Ye, I didn't see you when I came back. I was thinking of going back to find you. I walked and couldn't find the Mixiang Forest."
The dung beetle was very doubtful: "Really?"
Charlene nodded: "Really!"
She looked around: "Where is the Honey Forest? Isn't it nearby? I just can't find it."
The dung beetle raised its thin legs and said: "Behind this mountain."
Xia Ling: No wonder.
She thought that he had also seen those honey-scented butterflies, and asked: "Brother Ye, those butterflies last night..."
Before she could finish her words, the dung beetle, as if remembering something terrible, said, "Hey... little Ling'er, you are really capable of escaping from these butterflies."
"Those butterflies are scary."
Xia Ling: "Brother Ye, do you know those butterflies very well?"
The dung beetle shook his head: "I can't explain...but..."
As he said that, he paused, looked at Xia Ling greedily, and licked his lips: "Haha... I'm a little hungry and a little thirsty."
Xia Ling: "..."
She took a small spiritual fruit from the ring space and gave him some spiritual spring water.
She realized that the Dung Beetle must have discovered that she had a way to hide these things, and he didn't seem surprised and didn't ask where she kept her things.
After eating, the dung beetle said: "One time, I ran into the forest to steal nectar, and then I saw those butterflies quickly sucking up a honey-scented tree."
Xia Ling: "When did you see those butterflies?"
The dung beetle frowned: "It must have been more than ten years ago, I can't remember clearly. I didn't see it after that."
Xia Ling: "You mean you saw it more than ten years ago, but never during that time?"
The dung beetle nodded.
Xia Ling asked again: "Then did you see the Shanling Pond inside? It's a place with mountains, a pond, and spring water."
The dung beetle shook his head: "The place with water is where the red monster was last night. I didn't find it anywhere else."
Xia Ling: "..."
I don’t know if what she saw was an illusion or what?
"Brother Ye, have you seen the house in the forest? And who lives in the forest?"
The dung beetle looked at Xia Ling in surprise:
"Xiao Ling'er, have you seen Lin Zi's house?"
"It is said that there is a bad old man living in the woods. He has a bad temper. It is best not to provoke him."
"That old guy especially likes to make wine."
“A variety of wines.”
"If he knew we sneaked in, he would probably use it to make wine."
Xia Ling: "..."
Why is this so mysterious?
And last night the Nine-tailed Red Fox said there were many cellars there.
She shivered all over.
It can't be so mysterious, right?
If an old man lives there, what about the orc he saw last night? And mermaids.
This made Xia Ling eager to go in again.
She looked at the Dung Beetle: "Brother Ye, lead the way..."
Dung Beetle: "..."
Finally, he happily held the three spiritual fruits and took Xia Ling on a shortcut to the Honey Fragrance Forest behind the mountain.
Along the way, they avoided all the orcs coming up the mountain.
Dung Beetle: "This road is difficult to walk, and you have to go through the monster area. Can you do it?"
Xia Ling: "Isn't there still you here?"
Dung Beetle: "Ah... don't count on me. I can save my own life."
Xia Ling: "..."
Dung Beetle: "First of all, I can't save you if there is any problem."
Xia Ling: "Okay, the disaster is coming, let's fly separately."
It looked like a normal mountain forest at first, but the further up we went, the stranger it felt, and the chill became more obvious.
It's daytime now, the sunshine and weather are fine, but it's getting colder inside.
This chill is special.
Xia Ling thought of the cold feeling in the cellar last night.
The dung beetle suddenly called out: "Little Ling'er, what do you see in front of you?"
Xia Ling came back to her senses and looked over. There was a fluffy fiery red ball on the ground not far away.
This is...
