Beasts contend

Fan Dong was about to clean up the area around the Ellen Plain.

This place is convenient for supplies, intensive tasks, and most importantly, it is not too far from the capital, so there is no need to waste too much time on the way back and forth.This time there were still seven of them. Fan Dong was accompanied by Dia, David, and Arthur, and Kathy was still leading the other two Presbyterian children from the rookie competition.We are all acquaintances, so we don't need to get in touch, and we set off directly in the early morning.

After Kathy chose the swordsman major, she got a flying mount from Elder John. Although it was not as precious as a winged horse, it was also a fourth-order spirit bird, covered with golden feathers, shining like a phoenix, called the Flame Bird.

It's a pity that there are too many of them, and they can't fly over directly by flying mounts.Moreover, the Ellen Plain is so vast and surrounded by complex mountains, it is still necessary to rely on a guide to guide the way.

After all, Kathy is the grandson of Elder John, and he made an appointment early to be the guide of the coachman.The cart is not an ordinary horse, but a very scary-looking thunder elephant.Lei Xiang is smaller than the elephant Fan Dong is familiar with, but still has big ears and a long nose.The difference is that the thunder elephant's skin is extremely hard, as if it was made of steel.Under the sunlight, it shone with a frightening cold light.Its voice is like thunder, its eyes are like lightning, and it can pull a cart ten times faster than a horse.

The guide is a short man who looks like a child about ten years old, but his face is already in his 30s, with a mustache all over his face, he is enthusiastic, and his mouth keeps talking.

Fan Dong likes this kind of person the most, he will automatically introduce everything to you without you asking any more questions.

Fan Dong asked with a smile: "You are not from the Lion family, are you?"

The little guide twitched his beard, and he looked a little proud: "Of course, of course, do you think I look like the Ryan tribe? I am the Maqi tribe, have you heard of it? We live in the mountains and forests in the north of the Ellen Plain , we will brew the strongest wine and sing the most beautiful songs, if you have time, I can take you to our place to play!"

Fan Dong said: "Okay." After speaking, he urged, "Then you sing a song for me."

The little guide readily agreed, and with a yell, Thunder Elephant suddenly raised its hooves and moved forward at such a speed that the wind around it became extremely violent.

Facing the wind, the little guide opened his throat and sang: "Sleeping forest, please open your eyes gently, you can penetrate rocks, you can resist wind and rain..."

Fan Dong originally expected to listen to "popular songs", but he didn't expect that the popular songs of the Maqi people were still similar to hymns.But the little guide sang really well, and it made people feel comfortable, as if they were in a beautiful forest.

Facing the little wizard's eyes filled with "It sounds good, I sing it well" after singing, Fan Dong did not hesitate to praise: "Singing is really good!"

The little guide was very happy.

Fan Dong decided to reciprocate, and also showed his hand to the little guide: "Actually, I think there is a song that is quite suitable for you."

The little guide's eyes lit up, waiting for Fan Dong's next words.

Fan Dong cleared his throat and showed his excellent singing voice: "There is a group of Smurfs on the other side of the mountain and the sea. They are lively and smart, naughty and sensitive. They live freely in the big green forest... "

Little guide: "..."

Several people in Dia: "..."

Under everyone's gaze, Fan Dong could only swallow the remaining half in his throat.

Alas, he has a racial gap with these guys, and the aesthetics can't agree at all.It’s good for the fish and shrimp in the sea, actively join the army of square dancing, exercise, and enhance the quality of the meat. Next time he goes there, he might be able to eat tender and smooth fish and shrimp!

After a short silence, the little guide said with dignity: "It's actually not bad."

Fan Dong said that he would never eat the food that came from him, and he would not accept the compliments that were forced to come.He changed the subject and asked about the situation of the little guide Ellen Plain.The thunder elephant was very fast, and they happened to arrive at the entrance of a canyon at noon.The triangle in front of the entrance is a beautiful town, and the people in the town are emitting smoke from their kitchens, looking very peaceful.

Fan Dong jumped out of the car, feeling a sweltering heat blowing towards his face from the ground.Summer was already very hot, but here it was much more terrifying than Wang, it was stuffy, like a stove.The town was built on the hillside, with green hills behind it. The forests should have been very lush in summer, but a large area of ​​the ridge behind the town was bare, and it looked like it had been burned.

Fan Dong asked the little guide: "Is there any happy event in this place recently? So many trees have been cut down to build a new house?"

The little guide looked at it, and said, "No, it's not. Some time ago, Ellen City needed wood and asked to send a batch according to the population. These should have been cut down at that time." Frowning, "They are too lazy. They didn't cut down such a large forest behind, but just searched nearby. If they don't listen to the advice of the spirit of the forest, something will happen sooner or later."

Fan Dong nodded.It is a bit dangerous to build a house on the mountain, and all the trees on the mountain behind have been cut down. If there is a heavy rain, something may happen!

Looking at the bare soil, Fan Dong's heart skipped a beat.The stuffy feeling made him feel a little bad, isn't it going to rain?

Fan Dong raised his head to look at the sky, and found that there were indeed clouds in the sky, but not too many, and there should be no heavy rain.

Kathy said: "Let's go to the town to have a meal and rest first." Although Dia is a good cook, she can't rely on Dia to cook meals for seven people along the way.If you want to hurry, it is faster to eat ready-made ones.

Fan Dong also agrees very much.Everywhere he goes, he really wants to try the food there. The town is filled with the aroma of lunch, which makes him full of appetite!

The little guide led Fan Dong and his party into the small town, found the best restaurant here and led them in.Along the way, he has already seen that these people are not short of money at all, just take them to the best place to eat, don't care if the price is high or not, people don't like to hear this.

Fan Dong actively ordered a dish, and then asked the others to take turns ordering different dishes.This is the benefit of more people, one person can taste eight dishes for one dish!

Fan Dong happily waited for the lunch to be served.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the restaurant. Fan Dong turned his head to look, and saw an old man with white beard and hair raised his crutches, panting and chasing a middle-aged man who was running away in a panic.The old man's expression was extremely angry, and his cane danced vigorously, as if it was a steel sledgehammer.He was still cursing loudly: "You damn boy, you damn bastard! Stop, stop!"

Fan Dong listened curiously to the discussions of the people around him.

After listening carefully, I realized that it was the old mayor and his son.In the past few months, the old mayor has been seriously ill in bed, and his son has managed the affairs of the town on his behalf. As a result, today an old man dressed in rags gave the old mayor a pill, and the old mayor became alive and well. .When the old mayor saw what his son had done recently, he immediately jumped out of bed and chased him all over the street. It seemed that he was determined to beat his son to the teeth.

Fan Dong is not interested in the old mayor's housework, he is more interested in the old man who feeds the medicine.What elixir can make a person who has been sick for a long time get better all of a sudden?

It's a pity that this is a collective action, otherwise he could have made a good inquiry.Fan Dong thought for a while, then ran out to attract a bird, and let it call his friends to find out if there was any news about the old man.

Kathy asked curiously, "What does Your Highness want to do?"

Fan Dong told what he heard with his ears pricked up just now.

Kai Xi said: "If your Highness wants to find someone, we can visit the mayor's house." Fan Dong is a prince, and he is a member of the Presbyterian Church, so it is justifiable to visit the mayor.

Fan Dong's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, let's go after dinner."

Someone was unhappy: "Didn't you agree not to delay on the road for too long?"

Kathy frowned.

Fan Dong chuckled: "Then you go first, Kaixi and I will catch up with you, anyway, we both have flying mounts." It wasn't him who was holding back.Fan Dong is quite narrow-minded, since these two guys didn't like him from the beginning, of course he wouldn't save them any face.If it wasn't for Kathy, who was too principled, he would have kicked these two guys away.

Since you don't like him, why force yourself to follow him?

Kathy agreed with Fan Dong's words: "Rubin, Bowen, if you are in a hurry, go first."

Fan Dong can take two people with him, and he can take one person with him. It's no problem for the two of them to go to the next foothold first.

Rubin and Bowen flushed.They really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Fan Dong had given their Kaixi to accommodate Fan Dong like this.When you see other people's father and son fighting, you have to go to the door and ask how much time they have to waste!

Rubin's skin was relatively dark, and the flush on his face due to anger was not obvious, but Bowen's face was very red, and both of them were too angry to speak.

Kathy felt that she needed to find a time to talk to them, but now was not the time. Although she was a little annoyed, she still could only focus on the meal.The meal was a little silent, only Fan Dong was asking the little guide. After lunch, Fan Dong had already understood the past and present of this town, ah no, the entire history of this town.

The old mayor was a smart man, but he gave birth to a foolish son.The most obvious thing is that when the old mayor was seriously ill, his son led people to cut down the forest behind the house.Even the guide was worried when he mentioned this. That guy was born and raised here, and he doesn't care about the life of the town at all!

Fan Dong sighed.

There are too many short-sighted people in this world.He wiped his mouth with a napkin and said to Kathy, "Shall we go to the mayor's house now?"

Kathy nodded.

He glanced at Rubin and Bowen.

Rubin said bluntly: "Just go, at most it will be delayed for a day."

Fan Dong said sincerely: "You really don't need to delay for a day, you can start immediately, we will definitely catch up with you, and we guarantee that you don't even have to wait for a moment to catch your breath."

Rubin, Bowen: "..."

Dia grew up with them, and saw that they were so squeezed by Fan Dong that they couldn't speak, so she had to come out to smooth things over: "Lu Bin, I'm exhausted after walking for a long time, let's take a rest here first, they will be back soon .” He glanced at David next to him.

David also nodded and said, "We'll wait here for His Highness to come back."

Fan Dong said: "That's fine, you guys stay here, we'll go back as soon as we go."

The enthusiastic little guide also said: "I will go with you, I am still worried that there will be floods here!"

Fajiao is actually a flash flood.This small town leans against the mountain, which is already dangerous.There have been no accidents for so many years because everyone tacitly refused to cut down the forest behind the town. Now that the old mayor's stupid son cut it down, I don't know how long it can last.

Just have to remind them.
