Chapter 615 It’s Raining
Xiaomo Island is located between the tropics and subtropics. The island is like spring all year round and is rich in various fruits throughout the year. Bing Zhixie and the others ate some hastily fruits, burned some pieces of meat and were ready to set off. But Feilun and Ace said they needed to be more prepared and asked them to wait a little longer. Bing Zhixie and the others had no choice but to rest on bamboo chairs in the shade of the trees.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Feren and Ace hadn't arrived yet, Alice couldn't sit still and wandered around the village. Although the scale of Xiaomo Village is not very large, the buildings are relatively scattered, with a house in the east and a house in the west, and some houses are even built on big trees. Alice jumped up, hooked on the branch, rolled over and climbed up the big tree with the wooden house.
"Ah! Sister, there is a wooden ladder over there to go up." A little girl of eleven or twelve years old came out of the wooden house, holding a bamboo sieve in her hand.
Alice smiled: "Little sister, what are you doing?" She saw that there were a lot of grains in the bamboo sieve held by the little girl, and some sand and gravel were also mixed in.
"Well, I raise chickens here." The little girl also responded with a cute smile, pointing to the small house behind her and said: "This is my chicken coop."
"The chicken coop is built on a tree. "Alice looked in through the wooden window, and there were indeed a dozen fat birds in the house, which were divided into four fences. Alice had never seen chickens like this before. She saw that they were plump but ugly and ferocious in appearance. She wondered: "Is this a chicken?"
The little girl nodded: "Well, this It’s a specialty chicken on Xiaomo Island. We call it Xiaomo Chicken.”
“Xiao Moji, hehe, it’s quite interesting.” Alice covered her mouth and smiled.
This kind of fat little chicken is bigger than the average big watermelon and swollen. The feathers of these captive chickens are blue-black, tan, brown, etc. . Their tails and wings are very short, their heads are piled among the pine feathers, and their necks are completely invisible. There is a big red fleshy pouch hanging from their chin, which looks really unsightly.
The little girl said: "Don't look at it. It looks ugly and fierce, but its meat is very delicious, but it is very troublesome to cook. When you come back after defeating the monster, I will make my mother make one for you to eat."
"Yeah, okay." Alice nodded repeatedly and asked: "But why do you want to keep them on the tree?"
The little girl walked into the wooden house, sprinkled the grains into the fences, and said: "Because the chicken grinder Very aggressive and harassing us all the time. And their main food is slime. Every household in the village raises slime, which will cause a lot of changes. They can’t fly, so keeping them on trees is not that much trouble.”
Alice also entered the wood He looked carefully at the house and suddenly heard Hughington calling him, so he said to the little girl: "Then I'll leave first. When I come back, be sure to treat me to this little Moji."
< br>"Yes, definitely." The little girl nodded with certainty.
After getting off the tree house, Hullington said to Alice: "What are you doing up there?"
"I want you to take care of it." Alice said when she saw Feren and Ace coming. : "Can you go?"
Ace said: "Wait a minute." He put the small bag on his back Open it, take out some things and throw them to them: "After you go up the mountain, you can put this on your body."
"What is this?" Alice took the small paper bag, opened the outer paper, There is also a layer of adhesive film inside, and a yellowish and pinkish cream-like substance is wrapped in the adhesive film.
Bingzhixie took a sniff and said, "This is a fish oil ointment, made from the fish fat of the ghost-faced fish and the viscera of several marine creatures." He turned to Feren. , Ace: "There are saprophytes on your mountain?" "What saprophytes?" Fearon said: "There is a highly poisonous slime deep in the mountains, there are a lot of them. If you apply this fish paste, its smell can Drive those guys away ”
Hughington said: "It's a rotten swamp slime."
"Yeah." Bing Zhixie and the others put away the fish paste, and headed towards the island with Faerun and Ace. Heading up the mountains. Before leaving, the village chief came out and told them to be careful.
When we first went up the mountain, there were still a few paths to walk on. However, after we climbed over the first hill, the mountain path became less obvious. As we went deeper, the path gradually disappeared.
This island is very big. When Bing Zhixie took a hot air balloon to look down, he found that Xiaomo Village was only in a corner of the island. Most of the island was covered with mountains and towering old trees. With Bing Zhixie's ability, there was no need to climb mountains and wading like this. He could have taken the Emperor Dragon Zafino and flew directly to the highest peak to find the monster. Just killing monsters is not his main purpose this time. More importantly, of course, it is to train his apprentice Alice.
Why didn't Alice understand her master's painstaking efforts? So when she encountered monsters and monsters attacking her along the way, she always took the lead. With a short bow, two short swords, and her martial arts skills of fists and feet, she danced like crazy. , killed many small monsters.
And Hullington looked more like he was here for an outing. He was holding the Mulonigan staff that he renamed - Unyielding, with eight metal eyeballs rotating behind him. He himself was walking leisurely, looking here and there, looking here and there, and whistling and humming from time to time. When he encountered a monster, he didn't need to make any moves, and he would kill it with just a few eyeballs. It's really hard to relax now that I've retired.
Different from Hullington's leisure and Alice's hardship, Bing Zhixie is more like a dull boy. He is silent along the way and rarely talks. It seems that he is thinking about it all the time. own things.
Faylan and Ace were puzzled, thinking how could a little girl fight desperately while two boys watched.
Bing Zhixie saw that Feilun and Ace, a knight and a warrior, seemed to have barely mid-level strength, but they were different from Zhen Zhen, who had graduated from a regular university and had experienced a long-term mercenary career. There is still some gap compared to the mid-level knights and warriors. Especially in magic martial arts, their performance is weak. They only use dozens of ordinary martial arts such as mountain collapse and raging flames. They don't have any powerful moves. However, they have quite a lot of experience in dealing with these monsters on the mountain. They know clearly what kind of monsters they are, what their habits are, and what their weaknesses are, and they can always launch some targeted attacks. Moreover, they were very skilled in bow and arrow skills, and many monsters were killed by their archery skills before they even got close.
Bing Zhixie walked up to Alice and said, "You should learn from them. Their martial arts are simple, but every move is used just right. They also have rich combat experience against monsters. The differences between magicians, warriors, and knights The fighting methods must be different, I can't teach you this."
"I know the master." Alice was not a studious person at first, but under the influence of Bing Zhixie, in order not to be a drag. She also became very fond of learning from her own master. Ever since she entered the forest, she had been fighting with Feren and Ace, not only to take care of each other, but also to learn more from them.
Gradually, the sky became darker. Fearon looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and said, "No, it's going to rain." The weather on the island changes all the time. It may be sunny and sunny one minute, and it may be raining heavily the next minute.
Alice asked: "Why is it bad when it rains?"
Ace put away his bow, pulled out an arrow and said: "When it rains, slimes will become very Active, and if we go further we will enter an area where poisonous slimes are active. It will not be good if the fish oil ointment we apply on our bodies is wiped off by the rain. Faerun, do you think we should go back today and wait another day? Come again?”
Feilun also felt that this was the best choice and decided to go back temporarily.
Unexpectedly, Bing Zhixie suddenly said: "No, we are not going back."...
