monster he just wants to be a good guy

I want to visit the island.

Hunting requires a lot of patience and energy, plus a little luck.Most of the hunting teams have developed a strong psychological quality of getting up in the first half of the night to deal with monsters, and continuing to sleep like dead pigs in the second half of the night.Early the next morning, when Lu Man woke up, everyone was already gearing up to check whether the traps set up yesterday had caught prey.

"Why didn't you call me?" Lu Man rubbed his eyes, Zheng Qingmiao had already finished washing, and took out the rope from her bag to wrap it around her waist.

"It doesn't matter that you slept late last night, I want you to rest more. Young people lack sleep but they can't grow tall." Lu Man's current height is considered to be the normal height of a 15-year-old boy, about 1.7 meters. Aunt Lu touched it for him After passing through the bones, it is said that his bones are not closed, and there will be some growth in the future.

"Xiao Man, be careful when you go out today. Don't run around alone. The terrain in the forest is complicated and it's hard to find your way. You must follow your teammates closely." Zheng Qingmiao gave Lu Man a few words before leaving.

Zheng Qingmiao called him over last night and asked him if he would like to go with the sentries to explore the water source, and he agreed without hesitation.Lu Man had this plan in the first place. After all, his sense of smell and hearing can be very useful in searching, not to mention that Brother Qing Miao took the initiative to ask for it.

After Lu Man finished washing, he went straight to Zhang Qingyan's side.

She was distributing tasks with other sentries. Lu Man stood by and quietly observed the other nine uncles. They were all sentries of various teams. Their bodies were not as muscular as the soldiers in the team, and they looked leaner and lighter. .He noticed that Liu Kuangye was also listening to Zhang Qingyan's command in the group of sentries, but he seemed as unhappy as ever.

Zhang Qingyan turned around, and finally saw Lu Man approaching, with a rare smile on his usually icy face: "Lu Man, the sentry needs two or two teams to investigate the water source, will you come with me?"

Lu Man knew that Sentry had a fixed partner, and they worked in groups of two to take care of each other.There are a total of ten teams and ten sentries, which are just in place.But Lu Man glanced at the sentries currently present, and there were only nine of them.

"Is there a sentry who didn't come this time? I'll just go with the single partner."

Everyone heard the words and turned their attention to Liu Kuangye. His partner sprained his leg when he went hunting last time, and the injury has not healed, so he didn't come this time.Just when Zhang Qingyan was about to speak but stopped, Lu Man had already walked towards Liu Kuangye, and Liu Kuangye's expression became even uglier.

Before setting off, Liu Kuangye said in a rough voice: "Warning you in advance, I will not be used to a brat who will slow down like Zheng Qingmiao and the others... In the team, all actions must be under my command, and raise your hand in time if there is an abnormality." Report."

"Okay." Lu Man nodded obediently.

There are several streams in the forest that fork and eventually converge on the same main road.What they are responsible for exploring is the downstream watershed of the main channel of the stream.Liu Kuangye galloped along the river bank, and gradually increased his speed to the fastest he could achieve. He was even sweating a little while running, but he could still hear the footsteps following closely behind him.

The river bank gradually opened up, and he finally stopped to rest.Liu Kuangye looked up and saw Lu Man also stopped, but he didn't breathe heavily.Liu Kuangye originally wanted to sarcastically say "I can't keep up, so I can barely slow down", to destroy the prestige of this little devil, but he couldn't use it.This guy is not only strong, but also has good physical strength and fast speed.

Liu Kuangye hated these talented people the most.He started practicing martial arts since he was a child, hoping to become a strong and vigorous warrior in the hunting team like his father.It's a pity that God doesn't reward him with food. He had a serious illness when he was a child, which caused his muscles to develop slowly.Liu Kuangye tried for several years. Despite his efforts far beyond ordinary people, he still failed to meet the standard in the strength assessment and failed to become a fighter.But fortunately, his observation skills were sharp enough, so he finally settled for the next best thing and became a sentinel.

Whenever he sees people who are supposed to be weaker than him, but effortlessly catch up or even surpass him, he becomes extremely jealous.Just like now, when he looked at the young man in front of him who hadn't completely shed his childishness, he felt as if a fire was suffocating in his heart, pressing tightly against his chest.Liu Kuangye also knew that this mentality was quite distorted and ugly, but he couldn't restrain himself.

Seeing Liu Kuangye's lips turned pale, Lu Man asked worriedly, "Brother Liu, are you okay? Your lips are a little pale."

His blood is now pouring into his heart, how can he keep his lips from turning white!Liu Kuangye felt the sincere concern in Lu Man's tone, and remembered that he reminded him about the eggs yesterday, so he suppressed his anger.

"Let's go." He muttered a word with his head sullen, and hurried forward again.

Lu Man followed behind him, and suddenly said: "Report, there are bears infested ahead, we need to make a detour."

When Liu Kuangye turned his head, he saw Lu Man raised his right hand over his head with a serious expression on his face.He looked forward, and there was no bear in his sight range, and he didn't believe the jokes of these children, so he lifted his foot and continued to walk forward.

Unexpectedly, before walking a few steps, I saw a brown bear drinking water by the lake.He slammed on the brakes, pulled Lu Man and hid behind the bushes.

Lu Man secretly observed through the gaps between the grass blades—the body was normal, and it was an ordinary animal.When the bear heard the sound, its ears moved slightly, and it raised its head and looked around suspiciously. After drinking enough water, it scooped up water with its paws, washed its face, and then left.His expression is agile, and his walking posture is also very natural. It should not be parasitized by the iron nematode.

"How do you know?" Liu Kuangye asked him with raised eyebrows.

"I have a good sense of smell."

"Dog nose..." He vaguely heard Liu Kuangye muttering in a low voice.

Lu Man already realized that Liu Kuangye didn't like him very much.But like Sister Qingyan said, it's normal that there are people who hate him in this world. All Lu Man needs to do is to walk his own way. As long as Liu Kuangye doesn't block his way, they can get along peacefully.

Lu Man also thought about what his path was, to become an excellent sentinel in the village like Zhang Qingyan?Determined to become the captain of the hunting team like Zheng Qingmiao?Leaving the village to find the answer like Uncle Lu did?No matter how you think about it, the picture of the future is blurred.The only thing that is clear is Qingmiao Village, his family, and the peaceful and beautiful life in the village.Perhaps his path is to stand still, this is his origin, and it will also be his end.

Along the way, Lu Man reported several times that there were animals appearing not far ahead. Liu Kuangye scoffed at the beginning, but finally had to believe it.He could smell it thousands of meters away... Lu Man was so perverted that he didn't look like a human being.When the gap is too large, comparison and jealousy have lost their meaning.After he stopped treating Lu Man as a normal person, Liu Kuangye found that he had gradually become calmer.

This stream was different from the big river Lu Man had encountered before, in that it was narrower and more turbulent.

Moreover, the stream was meandering, they turned left and right in the forest, and finally came to the end of the main stream road.

The gurgling water finally merged into a lake.

"It's the end." Liu Kuangye took Lu Man a few steps around the lake, "I've only been here a few months ago, and it hasn't changed."

The lake wasn't very big, and it didn't take long for them to trot around the lake. The surface of the lake was clean, and the lake water was dark green, and the bottom couldn't be seen at a glance.

If there are empty shell corpses parasitized by the iron nematode monster, they should be washed downstream by the current, but there are no floating animal corpses on the lake.Of course, it is not ruled out that the body is heavy and blocked on the stream bed, and a conclusion can only be made after the investigation of several other sentry teams.

Lu Man suddenly noticed a small bulge in the middle of the lake, protruding from the water, and there seemed to be some green things growing on it.

"Brother Liu, did you have that thing before?"

Liu Kuangye looked in the direction Luman pointed: "That's an island in the middle of the lake, which popped up suddenly in the past few years. But when I came last time, there was no grass yet."

Lu Man squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while. The characteristics of the wolf monster brought him a sense of smell and hearing far more than vision, and he couldn't quite see what it was.

But he faintly smelled a strange smell.It was a scent that had never been smelled before, very faint, as if it was covered by something, if you don't distinguish it carefully, it will be covered by the smell of the lake.

That smell is like a small hook, deeply engraved in my mind.In the next second, Lu Man came back to his senses.He found that he seemed to be bewitched, and unconsciously took two or three steps towards the lake.

"Do you smell something?"

After getting a negative answer, Lu Man still felt something was wrong.The fragrance is still faintly floating in the air, and it came from the island in the middle of the lake.

Liu Kuangye said that the island has slowly emerged over the past few years. Maybe the water level of the lake has been dropping and the soil underneath has been exposed... Or maybe it is not an island.

Lu Man looked at the island in the middle of the lake, and felt a certain sense of disobedience in his heart.

He leaned over and rolled up his trouser legs, and turned around to jump into the lake.

Liu Kuangye was taken aback, and quickly stopped him: "What the hell are you doing?"

"I want to go to the island to see." Lu Man's wrist was held, but his eyes were still firmly grasping the island in the middle of the lake.

"How do you...swim over there?" Liu Kuangye almost laughed out of anger. He had heard of this guy's feat of single-handedly catching wolf monsters before, but he didn't expect it to be so reckless.

"What did Zheng Qingmiao say last night? It's forbidden for the water to reach the lower half of the body! Lu Man, you fucking die?!"

Lu Man lowered his head and obediently admitted his mistake.What Liu Kuangye said made sense. If there were really iron nematode eggs in the water, even if he had a strong regenerative ability, he might suffer from being emptied by insects again and again like the spider monster.

Usually, Lu Man's "recklessness" is based on his own certainty.This time, he was indeed impulsive.As soon as my head got hot, I rolled up my sleeves and rushed over... This is not like my usual self.

Lu Man was the last to return to the camp to join the others.They checked all the nearby streams within a hundred miles, and found no dead animals drowned in the water.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Before it was dark, the sentinels scattered to find their team members who were out hunting.

When Lu Man and Zhang Qingyan found Zheng Qingmiao, he had already tied a lot of prey around his waist, including a string of hares, a deer tied up, and a wild boar on his shoulders.

When Zheng Qingmiao saw Lu Man, she rolled her eyes with a smile, and stuffed the rope tied with the prey into Lu Man's hand: "Xiao Man, you drag these back first, there are more over there, and I will go with you, Sister Qingyan."

After Lu Man dragged his prey away, Yuanjia Road was narrow, and Zheng Qingmiao ran into Liu Kuangye when he turned around.

Zheng Qingmiao cleared her throat, and suppressed the excitement on her face: "Hey, these pigs and deer were all caught in the traps set up by Xiaoman... Before, I don't know who said that some newcomers are holding back and so on. .”

Liu Kuangye's face turned blue and red, and the color was very rich, and he didn't say anything, and walked away without saying a word.

"Why are you walking so fast? Our team will invite you to eat roast pig tonight! Xiaoman caught it!" Zheng Qingmiao yelled, the faster he ran, and he disappeared after a while.

"Childish." Zhang Qingyan looked at him helplessly from behind.
