Perhaps because of Li Qinglang's barbecue, Xiaomu relaxed his mind a little and chatted with him, but occasionally he still mentioned:

"You really don't want to eat me?"

"If you want to eat me, can you help me give this meat to my mother?"

"My mother is fourteen miles away from here. There is a small curve to the southeast. Follow the road to the village at the end. She is the most beautiful woman in the village. If you see her, you will definitely recognize her.

"

Li Qinglang occasionally answered, but it was more because he felt that the little wood was frightened. At this moment, he probably felt that he had already had his meal on the road and that he was bound to die.

"Can you bear it if you leave like this?"

Deliberately slow down the speed so that the little wood can go at his own pace and it will be easier.

"It's okay! I even came here with my grandpa when I was a kid!"

As if thinking of something, he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and then continued, "It's just that I was still very young at that time. When I walked for a while, I had to sit in the car and let my grandpa pull me."

Li Qinglang asked in confusion, "I heard you mention your grandfather a few times, so why haven't you met him?"

Xiaomu sighed, with a little sadness in his eyes, "Grandpa passed away four years ago, and I can't accompany Xiaomu here."

"What about your father?"

"Two years ago, I went hunting and was eaten by a monster. Although my mother didn't tell me, she only said that she was caught in a heavy snowstorm outside and I don't know where she was swept away."

Xiaomu lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly, but he quickly raised his head and said with a smile.

"But Xiaomu is already eleven years old this year and is a little adult! He can take care of himself and his mother. So please don't eat me, okay? If you eat Xiaomu, my mother will be very pitiful.

"

Li Qinglang didn't answer him. Since this guy already had this idea in his mind, no matter how he explained it, he probably wouldn't believe it.

The two of them walked together like this all the way through the afternoon. Until evening, they happened to arrive at a small cave where they could rest.

I saw Little Wood carefully driving all the Bu Le together, then using flint and steel to raise a bonfire, and surrounding it with stones. After doing this, he came to the entrance of the cave again, and picked up a bonfire from the many pockets he carried.

Take out some lumpy objects and sprinkle them on the side.

Based on the smell, Li Qinglang guessed that it should be the feces of some kind of monster. Although it is not very powerful, it can slightly scare other monsters. As for other snakes, insects, rats, and ants, they will naturally avoid it.

Xiaomu didn't eat the barbecue for lunch. Instead, he took out another piece of sesame cake, passed it through a branch, and roasted it on the fire for a while.

Seeing that Li Qinglang had nothing to eat, I took several pieces of meat from him at noon today, so Xiaomu broke off a third of it and handed it out: "Here, these are the sesame cakes baked by my mother, they are delicious!"

Li Qinglang thanked him and took the slightly hot biscuits, "You control the temperature well. Did you bake a lot of biscuits to get it?"

As if he had seen through the past, Xiaomu lowered his head in embarrassment, "Before, I thought it would stop getting cold and taste better after being roasted, but I didn't expect that it would be burnt directly. As a result, I basically went to bed hungry that night.

of."

Then he added: "But after I went back, my mother took me to bake it! Then I learned how to do it."

Li Qinglang took a bite of that cake, and it tasted really good. But compared to the fairy delicacies on the mountain, it can only be said that it was incomparable... But it was exactly the one he loved most, and it was the taste in his memory.

"Why don't you eat the barbecue I gave you for lunch? Do you want to keep it for your mother?"

Well, Xiaomu nodded, and broke off the remaining sesame biscuits piece by piece and put them into his mouth. Originally the sesame biscuits were not big, so he divided Li Qinglang into one third, so he finished them quickly and then stood up.

I need to drink some water to fill my stomach again.

"etc."

Li Qinglang stopped him, "You made the fire and baked the cakes. I didn't do anything. Well, I'm still a little hungry. There are some pieces of valuable meat here. Otherwise, you'll bake them? Done.

After that, each person will take half of it as compensation, how about that?"

"All right."

Xiao Mumu hesitated for a moment, but he still felt his not very full stomach and agreed, "I'll just eat a little bit..."

With the topic, the relationship between the two became more peaceful.

After chatting for a long time, Xiaomu began to feel sleepy, so he said hello, took out the warm animal skins, put one on the ground, covered himself with another, and slept with his clothes on.

Li Qinglang looked at the cute little wood and didn't know how to express his feelings.

It is said that for a writer, every time he writes, it is a process of analyzing his own soul. Of course, he considers himself to be just a small writer and does not have such a high level of consciousness. But occasionally, he still wants to write something he sees.

Fang Yi is like this, and Xiaomu is like this too.

Li Qinglang did not sleep or practice because he knew: there would be a battle soon.

So he came to the entrance of the cave and waited quietly. The bonfire gradually became fainter, and finally there were only some red embers left, and some insect beasts began to move around.

However, the smell of feces at the entrance of the cave and the human being revealed extremely dangerous information.

On the treetops under the moon, Li Qinglang finally waited for those "enemies".

Outside this leeward cave, a few hundred meters away is a jungle, alternating with ice and green, covering a vast area.

And there are many reptiles and animals hiding there, which is quite dangerous! This is why Xiaomu didn't go there to rest, but came back with firewood.

At this moment, a magical light lit up in the jungle, illuminating a large area like a fire.

Li Qinglang didn't even need to look closely to see what was happening inside.

A dozen men who looked like big men and young men were forming an arc-shaped circle, seemingly driving something out of the jungle.

"Keep your position! If you can catch two this time, you will make a lot of money!"

The leader of the group spoke. He was a tall man wrapped in a colorful fur coat.

Unlike other team members, he only had one piece of prey on his waist. This piece alone was worth the price of all the others combined.

The arc-shaped circle surrounding a group of people slowly narrowed, and suddenly someone exclaimed, "Boss, I found it!"

"Grandma's, it's going to the fat man's side!"

The big man said calmly: "Just hold on tight for me, as long as we drive it out of the jungle, it will be easy to handle!"

Xiaomu was awakened by the explosion of sparks that lit up at that moment, and he came to the cave entrance in a panic, wrapped in animal skins.

"What's going on? Is it thundering?"

Li Qinglang turned back with a smile, and a wisp of flame burst out from his fingertips, rekindling the extinguished bonfire.

"No, someone is poaching."

"Poaching?"

Xiaomu thought for a while, "I know, I heard the big brother of the patrol said that it's just to catch those monsters that are forbidden to be hunted!"

"Yes. Want to take a look?"

Xiao Mumu hesitated. Obviously, his curiosity at this age gave him the urge to go out. But his mother also taught him not to join in the fun outside, and to run away when he encountered something strange, and to hide if he couldn't run away.

"Forget it, I won't go."

Li Qinglang smiled and touched his head, "Are you worried about what mother said? It's okay. I'm here and I will send you back to your mother safely."

Xiaomu thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Then can we run away after just one look?"

"certainly."

Li Qinglang flew him up, cast an invisibility charm, and arrived behind a snow slope outside the jungle.

"Let's stay here and see what they are catching."

Xiaomu was a little embarrassed and nervous. He didn't dare to speak, so he just showed half of his head and looked from a distance.

In the jungle, a black shadow suddenly appeared, moving quickly, running straight in their direction.

Behind the black shadow, there were more than a dozen humanoid figures slowly walking out of the edge of the jungle. Only then did Xiaomu see their appearance clearly through the moonlight.

Each of them looked ferocious, poorly dressed, and roughly draped in furs. There were many corpses of animals and monsters hanging on their waists and backs.

Such as silver-browed rat, snow fox, Liucai green mink, frost wolf and so on.

What they were chasing was a one-meter-long black cat-like animal.

"It's the Neon Luohou Cat!"

Xiao Mumu exclaimed and pointed at the black cat.

Li Qinglang looked carefully and saw that the neon Luohou cat stopped in the distance because he noticed that there was someone here.

This big cat is one meter long including its tail. It has a round body, like a bowling ball, with a light head and a heavy body.

The whole body is black with gray lines, like the golden gradient falling into a dye vat. The most special thing is its yellow-green gem eyes, and the black pupils seem to sparkle with neon light!

"you know?"

Li Qinglang asked softly.

Xiao Mumu may have thought that he had disturbed the Niguang Luohou Cat, so he said in a low voice, "I know you, this is a spiritual creature enshrined in our village!"

It is said that the neon Luohou cat can see things that many people cannot see. Therefore, many villages enshrine its statues. But I haven’t seen one in a long time.”

Li Qinglang naturally knew more. This neon Luohou cat was one of the spiritual creatures in the Northern Territory: the fur on its body could ward off evil spirits, and its pair of eyes could be used to make magic weapons that could see through illusions.

There are even legends that you can refine your own eyes to create the legendary Dharma Eye!

As their reputation grew, more and more monks came to arrest them. According to the calculations of the Xianyin Sect, there may not be more than 3,000 of them in the entire Northern Territory.

And as the saying goes, something must be gained, and something must be lost. Having such an innate eye of creation consumes a lot of their spiritual energy, so their cultivation is slow and their realm cannot be improved. Being able to reach the foundation-building realm is considered lucky and strong!

Carefully explained to Xiaomu: "That's because there are too many poachers. Although the Xianyin Sect has banned the hunting of this kind of monster many years ago, it is of no use. Otherwise, what would we do if we send a hunting team?"

"These people are so bad!"

Xiaomu said through gritted teeth, taking out a piece of barbecue in his hand, trying to attract it. Seeing that this trick didn't work, he kneaded a few more snowballs, trying to scare away the nervous and stunned Neon Luohou cat.

After a few times, it was somewhat effective. It glanced at the dozen murderers who killed her husband, and quickly ran away in another direction. And its abdomen dragged out a trail of blood...

"Boss, it seems someone else is here!"

A sharp-eyed young man noticed the thrown snowball and quietly spoke to the leader.
