Chapter 210 Where did the two "fangs" come from?
The night is shrouded, and the dense forest is dark and quiet. There is no light, but it is full of darkness, terrifying, and makes people feel fear from the heart.
The dense forests in the dark and the deep mountains in the dark can evoke the deepest, lowest and most real fears in people's hearts, making people inevitably fear them and avoid them.
Of course, this makes sense and can be considered one of human survival instincts. After all, the jungle is very dangerous, even during the day. If you are not careful, you will die on the spot.
As night falls, the danger in the dense forest becomes even higher, and even if you are not careful, you will never be able to leave.
As a mountain walker, Zhang Hao knows these things very well.
Just a little bit can prevent anyone from going up the mountain at night. That is at night, when the mountain spirits and wild monsters are most active. And it is at this most active time that the mountain spirits and wild monsters are the most harmful. time.
This is true in many folklores. Many scholars rushing to take exams, hunters in the fields, etc. passed through the mountains at night, and then encountered something, and were left in the mountains forever.
Examples abound.
But these have little impact on Zhang Hao, because he is riding a mountain deer.
Swish, swish, swish.
The speed of the Mountain God Deer still maintained at the previous level. The trees on both sides flashed past quickly, and the dark environment seemed to be unable to catch up with the Mountain God Deer.
At this time, Zhang Hao turned his head and looked behind him. Xiaobai's figure was no longer visible.
At first, when the Mountain God Deer started running, he could still see Xiaobai's figure, but after the Mountain God Deer ran a certain distance, Xiaobai could no longer be seen.
However, these were all within Zhang Hao's expectations.
According to common sense, Xiaobai's speed is not as fast as the Mountain God Deer. After all, the Mountain God Deer has been in the mountains for a long time and is known for its speed. Running in the mountains is a basic operation. He can run more than ten kilometers a day and his speed is still very fast.
Xiaobai, on the other hand, is just a mountain dog, and his strengths are catching mountain spirits and wild monsters, searching for medicinal materials, and becoming a capable general for mountain walkers.
The advantages are different between the two.
But Zhang Hao naturally has his own considerations in training Xiaobai like this.
Not long after.
Following the neighing of the mountain god deer, Zhang Hao and Li Siyu saw the clearing in front of them, where their forest cabin was located.
Zhang Hao got off the deer's back unhurriedly, and helped Li Siyu to get off the deer's back together.
"Xiao Bai...how far he was thrown down." Li Siyu pursed his lips tightly and looked at the dark forest behind him.
The mountain god deer raised its head arrogantly, and its two antlers almost reached the sky, as if to say: That stupid dog? I have already been thrown thousands of miles away by this uncle!
But who would have thought that neither Zhang Hao nor Li Siyu would look at him at this time, and they both looked in the direction of the dense forest and chatted.
"Don't worry, that guy Xiaobai has a brain, he won't get lost, and his speed is not slow. Compared with the mountain god deer, his speed is indeed a bit slow, but compared with ordinary dogs, Xiaobai's speed can beat him There are several streets of them.”
"But after all this time, Xiaobai still hasn't come back. Is this guy really okay?"
"Don't worry, you don't know much about this guy Xiaobai. Maybe he saw something interesting on the road and played with it nearby. It's also possible. After all, this dog is really playful."
< br>
The mountain god deer watched Zhang Hao's hand helplessly, and had already put his arm around Li Siyu's shoulder. He gently raised his hand and patted Li Siyu's shoulder. The two of them behaved carefully and intimately, and completely ignored him beside him. .
The Mountain God Deer was very embarrassed and very dissatisfied with this behavior.
But similarly, His dissatisfaction was ignored at all.
Without thinking much, Zhang Hao and Li Siyu walked into the forest hut leaning on each other, turned on the lights, and it became much brighter in an instant, and all the darkness faded away at this moment.
After returning home, the two of them naturally had nothing to do, and they had finished cleaning up. The remaining time was just to be lazy for a while, and then get ready to go to bed.
After all, it was almost midnight now, and according to their normal life schedule, the two of them had already fallen into sleep.
"Why hasn't Xiaobai come back yet?"
At this time, Li Siyu, who was sitting on a deck chair in the courtyard, looked into the depths of the forest with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Hao also felt a little weird: "Is this guy really having fun outside?"
Logically speaking, although Xiao Bai is not as fast as the Mountain God Deer, in the end his speed is not slow, even compared with those beasts in the mountains.
It can be said that chasing a rabbit, chasing a tiger or a lion, or playing hide-and-seek with a blind bear is too simple.
Normally, by the time they returned home, turned on the lights, and lay down on the recliner at the latest, Xiao Bai would have been back. But this time, Xiaobai didn't, which was a bit strange.
"Xiao Bai, can't... something really happened?" Li Siyu looked horrified, and a look of panic flashed across his beautiful eyes.
If something really happened to Xiaobai, for her, it would be like losing a family member.
Originally, she only had Zhang Hao and Xiao Bai left now. If something happened to Xiao Bai, then only Zhang Hao and her would be left...
"Probably not." Zhang Hao stood up immediately and said with a very firm tone, giving Li Siyu some reassurance.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the dark forest not far away, squinting his eyes and looking carefully.
What the hell is this little guy doing?
Could it be possible that he really encountered something and was entangled by it?
That's not right, Xiao Bai is a Mountain Calling Dog after all, and there are very few beings that can entangle a Mountain Calling Dog. Even in the records in [Mountain Travel Records], there are very few people who can restrain a Mountain Calling Dog.
Therefore, apart from Xiaobai himself not wanting to come back, and being restricted by something that even Zhang Hao didn't understand, he really couldn't think of any other reason why Xiaobai wouldn't come back.
Why don't you go out and look for it?
But Li Siyu was easily scared in the deep mountains at night. If he left at this time, even if Li Siyu said he was not afraid, he would definitely be terrified in his heart.
But now, there was no choice but to let Li Siyu enter the house first and let the mountain god deer guard outside. He went to the mountains to look for Xiao Bai alone.
"Siyu, why don't you go back to the house first and let the mountain god deer guard outside while I go find Xiaobai." Zhang Hao started to pack his things as he spoke.
A series of things that need to be prepared, such as walking up a mountain, are all included in the list.
Li Siyu nodded and warned: "You should also be careful. When entering the mountains at night, you must pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, as a mountaineer, you won't make mistakes at this time." Zhang Hao waved his hand.
However, just when he was about to set off to find Xiao Bai.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the dense forest not far away. A medium-sized silhouette emerged from the dense forest under the hazy moonlight. However, this thing was very weird in appearance. It looked like a dog, but from its mouth, there were two upward-looking fangs protruding from it.
This scene is like...a puppy with two tusks in its mouth. This is how it feels when viewed from a distance.
Zhang Haoden felt strange, angry and funny at the same time.
What he was sure of now was that the figure was that of Xiaobai, but he had no idea what Xiaobai was holding in his mouth. He could only tell it after Xiaobai came forward with something in his mouth. Bar.
At this time, Li Siyu also noticed Xiao Bai running towards him, stepped forward and stood beside Zhang Hao, and asked doubtfully: "Well, that's Xiao Bai?"
"It should be that guy." Zhang Hao smiled helplessly.
Li Siyu was a little puzzled and stared at it for a while before asking: "If that is Xiaobai, what is it holding in its mouth? Why is it so big?"
"I don't know, but maybe what this guy brought back is not an ordinary thing." Zhang Hao shook his head, becoming more and more interested in the thing in Xiaobai's mouth.
It has to be said that as a mountain calling dog, finding things is a skill. For example, looking for medicinal materials, looking for mountain spirits and wild monsters, looking for mountain treasures, etc., in theory, it can be found.
For example, if something is stained with the scent of mountain treasure, or something that can attract the attention of the mountain caller dog, the mountain caller dog will bring it back to the owner after confirming that it is safe, so that the owner can check whether the thing is useful and decide whether to keep it. .
Ordinary things cannot be seen by the Mountain Calling Dog, so every time the Mountain Calling Dog finds something, it is a good thing.
He didn't wait too long. Taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, Xiaobai's figure became clearer and closer.
It wasn't until Xiaobai ran to the gate and stepped into the courtyard that Zhang Hao could see clearly what the thing in Xiaobai's mouth was.
It was indeed something similar to a fang, but it was not as big as it looked. One tooth was about half the size of Xiaobai.
Xiaobai came closer, placed the two "fangs" in his mouth in front of Zhang Hao, and wagged his tail at him, as if asking for credit.
Zhang Hao bent down, first smiled, raised his hand and stroked the dog's head.
Then, he focused on the two "fangs" that Xiaobai brought back.
Holding it in his hand, Zhang Hao fumbled around, but after groping for a long time, he couldn't figure out what kind of material it was made of. He didn't even know what it was used for, where it came from, and even more so. I don’t know why it was brought back by Xiaobai.
The most important thing is that this thing feels a little cool to the touch, as if it is always exuding Yin Qi. It looks like it was dug out of the ground, and it also looks like it is itself.
Is it possible that this thing was really picked up by Xiaobai?
Or maybe Xiaobai got this thing from someone?
