Chapter 113
Lin Xiaoya had no other choice but to grab two big stones from the river beach and jump over, holding up the stones and slapped the black panther alternately.
Although the black panther was not hit, she was still angry by Lin Xiaoya's actions. She twisted her head and scratched Lin Xiaoya's claws. Lin Xiaoya fell to the ground, and several scars were drawn on her arm by the black panther's claws. The wound was very deep and blood was gushing.
The black panther was stimulated by the smell of her blood and let go of the little bear and turned toward her.
"Kneel down!"
Lin Xiaoya shouted loudly, but this time it didn't work. Black Panther's movements did not stop at all, and rushed straight towards her. His open mouth was aimed at her throat and bitten it. Lin Xiaoya rolled away.
The black panther couldn't pounce and jumped on. Lin Xiaoya didn't even have the chance to get up. Seeing that he was about to be held down by the black panther, he quickly turned over and rolled a few times. When he rolled to the river, he hugged the little bear and rolled into the water. Seeing this, the black panther went straight to the narrow mouth of the river just now to intercept it.
Lin Xiaoya held the bear and kicked her legs desperately in the water, trying to slow down the drifting speed, while chanting slow magic spells to the black panther on the shore.
The Black Panther, who was enchanted, became much slower.
"Go up! The big cat has been hit by my magic and cannot run for the time being. Let's leave here quickly now."
Lin Xiaoya didn't care whether the bear could understand human words or not. While urging him, he went up the shore along the crossbar in the water. He didn't care about throwing away the water on his body, and he ran wildly as soon as he got ashore. Lin Xiaoya turned around and saw the black panther who was slowly moving with heavy steps, and he watched the flesh in his mouth run away but he was helpless, and he looked a little cold and cute.
The man and the bear did not stop until they confirmed the safety.
"It shouldn't be able to catch up here, but we have to hide the smell of blood on our body first." Lin Xiaoya panted and held the bear's head, looking down at its nose and mouth that was scratched by the black panther, and asked with heartache: "That bad guy's claws are so sharp. You have a lot of blood on your mouth, it hurts very much, right? I'm not afraid, I'll treat you now."
After Lin Xiaoya said that, he leaned over and licked the little bear's wound, and soon the wound on its sniff disappeared.
"Well, the smell of bear is everywhere in your mouth." Lin Xiaoya spitted out the bear's hair, then stroked the bear's head with a smile and said, "Okay, you'll be fine."
The little bear sniffed Xiaoya's nose, and then screamed a few times with serious foreheads. Although Lin Xiaoya couldn't understand the bear's words, she still understood the gratitude that appeared in the bear's eyes.
"We were born and died together just now, and we were friends in times of distress, so we should not be polite. Now it's my turn."
Lin Xiaoya said as she raised her arm, lowered her head and licked the blood marks on it. The bear kept screaming at her forehead. Xiaoya's tongue did not shrink. She opened her eyes and looked at it, responding in ambiguously: "What did you say? Sorry, I don't understand your bear words."
Lin Xiaoya rubbed the disappeared wound with his fingers. First, he was glad that he was born with convenient and fast healing skills, and secondly, he was a little regretful that this skill can only be used for external injuries. For example, the bleeding of the subcutaneous bleeding caused by a rattan is of no effect. I am afraid that it will have to be cut through the skin and licked to heal it. However, this kind of scar is all over the body. If you cut it one by one, it won’t be troublesome to treat it. She can’t lick her whole body like a cat.
"Forget it, this red mark will disappear in a few days." After Lin Xiaoya treated her wound, she caught a glimpse of the little bear still looking at her curiously, so she shrank and sat down next to the little bear.
"Why did you just now be bullied by that big cat? Where is your mother?"
"Um, um..."
"Is your mom no longer here?"
"Um, um..."
"You are still so young, do you have to find food by yourself? Poor child." Lin Xiaoya said as she hugged the bear full of her arms, rubbing her cheeks against the bear's forehead and rubbing her cheeks again and again.
"Um, um..."
"Or come with me, I will be your mother from now on."
"Um, um..."
After such an inexplicable conversation, one man and one bear seemed to have reached a certain consensus.
Lin Xiaoya looked up at the gradually slanted sun, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's find some food first, and then find a safe place to sleep before dark."
The little bear looked up at Xiaoya, then looked behind him, and his expression seemed a little uneasy.
Lin Xiaoya asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that the big cat will chase you? Don't be afraid, my spiritual power is enough to cast such primary magic more than ten times. It's okay, let's go."
The bear looked at the direction he came again, then trotted and followed Lin Xiaoya.
They walked towards the canyon and found wild fruits that many people and bears could eat on the way. The two little things were tired and hungry, and now they opened their stomachs and started to eat. They just now had a stomach full of water in the river, but now they were fermenting with wild fruits and stomach acid, and they felt dizzy after drinking.
Lin Xiaoya originally thought she could reach her destination before sunset today, but now it seems that the actual distance is much further than what I saw from the trees before.
They fled from the river to the woods and walked up the road for a long time. Later, when they reached the top of the mountain, they found that the terrain on the back of the mountain was steep and there was no way to go.
The destination is close to you. Just walk a few hundred meters ahead of the mountain below you, and Paris's punishment will be over.
If she was the only one now, she might have considered going down the vines on the cliff, but now there is still a bear next to her, so it will not sway the vines, so it has to bypass the long mountain range under its feet and find another way.
At this time, the sunset had already set. When the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the other end of the distant mountain, the sky soon became dark.
Lin Xiaoya knew that the most urgent task was to find a safe place to live and then head toward the destination after dawn.
Later, they found a cave at the foot of the mountain. The cave was pitch black, but the entrance of the cave was vaguely visible, but the old but still regular structure. The walls inside the cave looked like traces of manual digging. The ground in front of the cave was vaguely seen a road that had been repeatedly rolled by wheels, but now it has been covered by weeds and vines and no longer exists.
Lin Xiaoya looked at it and thought that there were people living in this cave, or they had lived in it before, but no matter what, we don’t have to sleep in the sky tonight like last night.
She made a handful of resin she picked up along the way, and after a long drilling wood to make the fire, she finally lit the torch.
After entering the cave, Lin Xiaoya found that his guess at the entrance of the cave was wrong.
The cave is amazingly large. In addition to the tracks made of solid wood on the road, we also found some dilapidated excavation tools and mineral transport vehicles next to the road, and some shining things remained everywhere on the walls. When we approached, we realized that the luminous objects were crystal rough stones that reflected the light of fire.
Just like the porcelain and glass used by humans, most of the people of the elves use crystals to make tableware and objects used in daily life. It is also said that some warriors of the elves will also use the energy contained in the crystal stone when improving their own strength. In short, for the elves, this crystal stone is a necessary resource for survival.
This cave must have been a crystal mine before. Later, after the crystal was mined, the abandoned mine was left behind, which was not occupied for a long time.
The paths in the cave are complicated and lead to countless small holes. If you are not careful, you will get lost.
Lin Xiaoya’s sense of direction is not very good, so he has to leave a mark while walking.
One man and one bear were just outside and chatting with chickens and ducks from time to time. After coming in, they all looked nervous and were silent.
Lin Xiaoya swallowed and said to the little bear next to him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is nothing here except black spots."
In order to give herself courage, she began to talk nonsense.
"You don't know, this place is much better than the haunted house in the amusement park. The haunted house is scary. The lights are flashing and dark, or are there shrill screams. The most scary thing is that there will be guys wrapped in bandages or blood on their faces suddenly jumping in front of you, very close to you..."
Lin Xiaoya suddenly felt something caught on her ankle, and she was so scared that she was scattered and screamed. Everyone and the bear fell to the ground like a frightened bird. The torch in Lin Xiaoya's hand flew out. Fortunately, there was enough resin on it, and the fire rolled on the ground for a few rounds but it was not extinguished.
The cold wind that came towards us passed through the gaps of the mountains made a sound like a woman sobbing, which was really creepy. Lin Xiaoya couldn't help but shivered.
With the swaying fire, I realized that I had just tripped by an old tree root that broke through the wall.
"It's okay, it's okay, nothing."
Lin Xiaoya hugged the bear in his arms. The bear was also very cowardly and buried his head directly under Lin Xiaoya's neck. The unique smell of the bear filled her nose, which diverted some of the attention.
She secretly scolded her for being so confused that she was so scared that she was afraid, but she still wanted to say something that was not there to scare her. Fortunately, she had a bear company at this moment, otherwise she would have beaten to death even if she was not haunted in such a place.
I picked up the torch and continued walking in, and came to a small hole with six wooden beds. Although it looked very worn, it was certain that this was once a rest room for miners.
Lin Xiaoya thought that since there was a ready-made bed, she might as well stay here tonight.
She bent down and looked at the bottom of the bed. Fortunately, she was empty and confirmed that she was safe. Then she inserted the torch into the pit on the wall and came to the small bed near the inside.
The two little things snuggled together all the way, and they didn't separate when they arrived on the bed. Lin Xiaoya felt the little bear in his arms trembling, so she forced herself to cheer up and comforted her softly along its furry back: "I'm not afraid, it's okay."
If only the uncle was there...
Although Paris now doesn't feel close to him in his dreams, Lin Xiaoya missed that person's strong and warm embrace at this moment, and felt particularly secure.
