monster he just wants to be a good guy

A man will do what he says, we will wait for you to come back!

The camp was silent, save for the sound of the flames.

Lu Man sat obediently on the spot without looking back.He didn't feel a dangerous aura from behind, and Xiao Ai didn't sense any living things nearby.

Zhang Qingyan, who was sitting opposite him, pulled out the bow gently from behind, and held an arrow between her index and middle fingers, signaling Lu Man to bow her head.The wind blown by the arrow piercing through the air almost brushed against Lu Man's hair. Behind the "puchi" came the sound of an arrow passing through the treetops and piercing flesh, and then something fell to the ground without a sound.

Zheng Qingmiao picked up the torch from the campfire, held the torch in his left hand, and put his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. He walked slowly and cautiously in that direction.Lu Man turned his head back, followed Zheng Qingmiao's figure with his eyes for a moment, and was ready to rush forward to make a rescue at any time.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.Zheng Qingmiao took the arrow feathers and threw the thing stabbed on the ground by the campfire.

Its eyes were wide open, lost in spirit, reflecting the faint firelight like two glass beads.

Although the feathers were messy and the body was stiff, Lu Man still recognized that it was a pigeon.

To be precise, less than half of them.Most of its body from the chest down was gone, the section was still bloody, and the tendons and bones were clearly visible.

But the wound no longer oozes blood, and judging from the stale color, it seems that it has been dead for some time.

The tension in Zheng Qingmiao's heart was slightly loosened. He sat back heavily on the wooden pier beside the fire and let out a long breath.

"Maybe that's why the village has never received a reply from Uncle Lu."

Zhang Qingyan squatted on the ground and looked at the corpse carefully, her brows were still furrowed.

Lu Man stared at the cut, and asked, "Sister Qingyan, what monster caused this wound?"

"Some are similar to the incisions made by spider fangs, which cannot be determined yet."

The fracture was unexpectedly smooth, not as uneven as the wounds bitten by ordinary beasts, but more like severed or pinched than bitten off.

"That's not right! The pigeons in our village have been specially trained to fly very high without resting in the middle." Zheng Qingmiao also joined their conversation.

"I've seen shooting arrows at pigeons in the village before when they were training them. The pigeons sensed the danger and would stop and change direction. They are very clever, and their lives are very hard. Unless it is a sudden attack...they won't be caught by spider webs, right?"

"Besides... are there any spiders here? I didn't see their webs along the way."

"I don't know either. We have never explored this area before, so it's best to be careful. Rest first, and make plans tomorrow morning. I'll be in the first half of the night and you in the second." Zhang Qingyan sat in front of the bonfire, with her waist The tied whip was pulled out and tied around his hands one by one.

After being tense all day long, his body and mind were already exhausted. Zheng Qingmiao breathed evenly within two seconds of entering the sleeping bag.

Lu Man lay quietly on his back, his eyes fixed on the small tip on the top of the tent, and his heart was extremely clear.

He has unresolved doubts and faint unease.

Why is this mountain so dead?What kind of monster is there?

The carrier pigeons have been intercepted, so Uncle Lu and the others are still safe?

Lu Man thought of Uncle Lu, he took his hand and took him home, held his hand and taught him how to make a clay figurine and make a puppet, always gently stroking his warm, rough, callused hands head.

He tried to close his eyes and take a nap for a while, but a blood red covered it.The pigeon's severed head turned into Uncle Lu's severed body in the next second, and the familiar hands convulsed and gradually became cold and hard.

He opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely cold.

Lu Man called to the AI ​​smart housekeeper in his heart: "Xiao Ai, can you analyze what kind of monster caused this section?"

It was rare for Xiao Ai to see Lu Man asking for help on his own initiative, so he excitedly called up the existing database and began to analyze it.

"Report! 36942 possible results have been found for the master, do you need to list them one by one for the master?"

"Can it be more precise? The search range should be smaller, and the attack speed should be faster in the mountains and forests where you live."

"3451 items have been screened out for the owner... Due to the disconnection of the Internet, Xiao Ai's ability is limited, and further accurate comparisons cannot be made. It is Xiao Ai's limit to narrow the range to less than [-]."

"Then list their habits and start the deep learning mode."

"Yes!"

In an instant, countless information shuttled through my mind.

Early the next morning, they were faced with the two choices of "retreat" or "advance". In the end, everyone agreed to vote by show of hands.

"Let's say it first, this time it's just a decision whether we want to withdraw from the forest, not to give up contact with Qingyan and the others."

"Those who choose to retreat outside the forest, raise their right hands. Those who choose to continue to follow the markers, raise their left hands. I'll count to three, two and one, and everyone makes a choice."

"Three—two—one."

The three of them opened their eyes together.

Both Zheng Qingmiao and Zhang Qingyan raised their right hands, while Lu Man raised his left hand alone.

"We don't know anything about this area now. This situation is too dangerous, and it's easy to die in vain. Let's find out what kind of monster is in the mountain in the past two days, and find out if there are other ways to bypass the danger and enter the mountain nearby .”

"Xiao Man, don't worry, my brother is very experienced in dealing with monsters, and Uncle Lu is also very good at geology and geography. We have to trust them."

Zheng Qingmiao gently put her hand on Lu Man's back and explained.When he and Zhang Qingyan changed shifts in the middle of the night last night, he found Lu Man next to him with his eyes open.He was a little worried that the child would be chaotic if he cared about it, and wanted to explore deeply alone.

"I know, Brother Qingmiao. Then let's go quickly."

Lu Man pursed his lips and smiled softly, put his bag on his back, and stomped out the campfire.

The way back was much faster than yesterday. Zheng Qingmiao walked in front of him with the half-man tall heavy bag on his back. Lu Man looked back at the quiet and deep forest, and quickened his pace to follow Zheng Qingmiao closely.

The sun was too bright today, and the sun fell warmly on Lu Man's eyelashes.He looked up at the sky and then lowered his head, a black light spot flashed in front of his eyes after a while.

He looked up again, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a small black spot on the sun.

At first, Lu Man thought it was caused by the coincidence of the spot of light in front of his eyes with the sun.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, the little black spot was still moving around, and then enlarged extremely quickly.

In an instant, Lu Man's mind extracted the biological habits learned last night.

"It has big wings and is good at flying. It mostly inhabits mountains or plains. It has strong grip and bite. It has excellent eyesight and can lock on prey at an altitude of a thousand meters. Once locked, the dive speed can reach [-] meters per second."

"Get down!" Lu Man's face turned cold, and he said sharply.

Although Zheng Qingmiao, who was walking in front, didn't know what happened, he still obeyed Lu Man's warning, and immediately lay down facing the floor and obediently remained still.

Lu Man continued to keep his head up, staring at the sky motionless.

Obviously that is not a normal animal, but a mutated monster.In just two seconds, the outline of the black dot had already appeared faintly.It swooped down from the sky like an arrow leaving the string.It wasn't until he got close that he noticed how huge the monster in front of him was.

The eagle's wings are flat, casting shadows that can cover the sky and the sun, as if it is a creature that has fallen from the sun above thousands of feet. The wind blown by the wings is still carrying hot air, so sharp and hot that it almost burns the skin.It ignored Zheng Qingmiao, who was lying on the ground, and Lu Man, who was standing still, and passed them straight.

Zheng Qingmiao was propped up on the floor face down, and he was slightly relieved when he heard the sound of wings passing through the air away from them.

Lu Man looked at the monster solemnly. It stopped gliding not far away and was about to land.

Oops!

Zheng Qingmiao, who was still lying on the ground, felt a gust of wind blowing around her, raised her head, and saw Lu Man's figure walking away.

Looking up in that direction, one can see a gigantic strange bird flapping its wings, with golden pupils like two little suns.

An arrow pierced through the air and hit the wings, but was easily bounced away.His pupils shrunk.Zhang Qingyan is over there!He came to his senses in an instant, got up and followed Lu Man and ran over there.

Zhang Qingyan was far away from them, and didn't hear Lu Man's warning, and realized something was wrong when they came, so she kept still.

But it was too late then, she had already been locked by the monster.

When Lu Man arrived, Zhang Qingyan was using the treetops as a cover, constantly moving to avoid the pecking of the beak, while shooting arrows at the monster in an attempt to hinder its progress.

But the arrowheads were all scattered by the flapping wings, scattered all over the surrounding tree trunks and grass.

In addition to the strong wings and sharp beak, the monster's claws were extremely sharp like iron hooks. She knew what a miserable end she would end up with if she was caught by those claws.

Zhang Qingyan didn't dare to fall on the ground, so she had to use the tree umbrella to cover herself.With a sweep of the monster's beak and a hook with its claws, the trees broke off one after another. She jumped from tree to tree, dodging even more embarrassingly.

Lu Man picked up the arrow that fell right in front of him, pinched the body of the arrow with his hand, and aimed it at the weakest part of the wing.Lean your body back, drive your arms back and use force, and throw it forward fiercely.

The arrow successfully passed through the gap between flesh and bone, piercing the wings.The monster let out a long cry of pain, stretched its wings, and shook out the arrow pierced into its flesh, and the wound healed instantly.

It turned its head to look in the direction the arrow was thrown from. The man was standing in the open space without the cover of trees. It immediately gave up its previous target, turned its head and stretched out its claws in the direction of Lu Man.

Seeing the claws getting bigger and bigger, the boy didn't dodge or dodge, as if he was frightened out of his wits.

It succeeded.

This human looks thin and weak, and it's quite heavy when you hold it.

Zheng Qingmiao faced down, her feet left the ground, and slowly rose into the air.

The monster's giant claws dug deeply into the big backpack behind him, and the pigeon in the bag cooed in panic.

Just now, when Zheng Qingmiao saw that Lu Man was almost attacked, he subconsciously rushed forward and held him in his arms.

With his back facing the monster, Zheng Qingmiao leaned over and let his sharp claws grab his bulging backpack.

The weight of an adult plus the backpack is close to 300 jins, but the monster still easily caught him and flew him away from the place.

"Give me the whip!" Lu Man shouted loudly.In the next second, the whip flew over and was caught in his hand.

At this time, Zheng Qingmiao had been brought to a height of five or six meters above the ground.

Lu Man jumped onto the tree and kept shaking his whip.The slender and strong whip swirled in the air, so fast that it almost formed an arc-shaped afterimage.

As soon as he exerted his arm, the whip was thrown out, just hooking the strong left paw, and the whip wound around the paw out of inertia, and finally tied it firmly.

Lu Man grabbed the end of the whip and began to pull it down.

The monster caught its prey and was about to fly into the sky, but for some reason it was getting lower and lower.

Suddenly, the foot lightened.The bag Zheng Qingmiao was carrying was overwhelmed, and the place where it was caught by the claws broke.

He fell from mid-air and rolled firmly on the ground. Luckily, Lu Man pulled the monster back to a height of two or three meters above the ground without hurting his muscles or bones.

He quickly got up and ran back and forth into the sheltered woods, almost colliding with Zhang Qingyan.

"Lu Man is still on the tree!" Zhang Qingyan anxiously wanted to run outside, but was held back by Zheng Qingmiao.

Seeing that its prey ran away unharmed, the monster flapped its wings unwillingly, and flew towards Lu Man standing on the bare treetop without any shelter.

Half a second later, the giant claw appeared in front of Lu Man.

Once it grabs the area, it succeeds.The drag of the flight is also gone.

All this happened in a flash.

On the ground, Zhang Qingyan and Zheng Qingmiao didn't react, they just watched the monster grab Lu Man and fly up.

When the monster flew to an irretrievable height in the blink of an eye, Zhang Qingyan came back to her senses, and turned her head to look at Zheng Qingmiao numbly.

"Why stop me?"

A look of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she broke free from Zheng Qingmiao's holding her hand.

"Don't stop you, are you going to die for nothing?"

He stared at the sky in frustration, feeling pain all over his body.

This is not the first time Zheng Qingmiao has watched her teammates being taken away by monsters.

The first time was when he had just joined the hunting team.That time, they unfortunately encountered a group of spider colonies traveling together.

The senior sentinel had taught him before that he must remain calm when facing monsters.

The next moment, right in front of his eyes, his body was bitten off.

One spider gnawed at his lower limb, and the other tore at his other leg, making sticky chewing sounds from its mouthparts.

That senior also told him that no matter what happens, he must live well and not die in vain.

There is hope only if you are alive.

Zheng Qingmiao could only stand where she was, trying to tell herself not to tremble, to hold back the desire to retch, and to hold back the tears swirling in her eyes from falling out and making any noise.Until now, he still remembers the scream of pain, the strong smell of blood, and the desperate call for help that he couldn't hold on.

That's when he started to be afraid of bugs.

Over the years, Zheng Qingmiao has been working hard to become stronger. He can no longer just run away and pretend to be dead. He can also fight against monsters, hurt them, and slash them.

For a time he thought he had become strong enough to protect his companions.

But now, he was awakened by reality again.He is still so weak, powerless to the point of despair.

In the air, Lu Man's voice floated from afar.

"Don't worry about me—wait for me over the bridge—"

"I'll go and come back—"

The voice that floated was light and flat, as if this trip was not a farewell to life or death, but just going out for an outing with a small schoolbag on your back.

Zheng Qingmiao couldn't help laughing. Apparently, Zhang Qingyan next to her also had the same association, and both of them cheered up a little.

Maybe this time it will really be different.

Zheng Qingmiao suddenly turned towards Lu Manyuan's direction and shouted loudly: "A man will do what he says, we will wait for you to come back!"

The voice floated far away on the wind.The monster and Lu Man had shrunk into a small spot.

The two people were no longer in place, and they quickly evacuated.

There are only dead trees left, lush and lush, standing like a forest.

The author says:

The monster with its feet entangled by Lu Man: It can't fly no matter what, Huahua's world——

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
