Chapter 44: The Lame
"You...I...that...just now..."
Xu Tian was a little incoherent and his mind still hadn't come to its senses. The main reason was that the scene just now was too shocking.
When he came to his senses, he found that there was no scene of a rabbit hitting a tree at all, and his brows immediately frowned.
Could it be that I just had an illusion?
It is very possible, he nodded secretly. After all, those servants of the Chen family seemed not to have seen the rabbit just now.
It was just an illusion. It was impossible for the Chen family's servants to see the rabbit, so it was normal for them to have no reaction.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that this idea was the most reasonable and could best explain the strange reactions of the Chen family servants.
Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, then walked towards Chen Xue and others. When he walked next to her, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something under her feet, and his pupils shrank immediately.
“This…this…”
Xu Tian widened his eyes, pointed at the rabbit on the ground, and was speechless.
Isn't this an illusion?
Why is there really a rabbit here?
Wasn't what I saw before an illusion?
Xu Tian became more and more confused, feeling like his head was about to explode, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"That's what you're talking about?" Chen Xue explained with a smile, "I was lucky to catch it."
Good luck
Xu Tian's mouth twitched. Why don't I have such good luck? Uh, well, it's really impossible for me to have good luck.
"By the way, Brother Xu, how about you? Did you gain anything?"
Xu Tian: “…”
Let’s not talk about this, we are still good friends!
"No!"
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt embarrassed to stay here. He had spent half a day and didn't even get a bird egg. Chen Xue had already caught a lot of rabbits. In comparison, he was simply a waste.
"There's still time left before the end of the competition. Don't lose heart, Brother Xu. If even Brother Xu gives up, I'm afraid we'll have no hope..."
Chen Xue couldn't help showing a sad expression, which made people feel pity for her.
When Xu Tian saw this, he thought about the consequences of losing and suddenly felt a blockage in his heart.
Then, he seemed to think of something, and a surge of motivation surged in his heart. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
I am their hope, how can I give up?
After saying that, he turned and left, determined to catch enough prey before the end of the game.
However, when he was halfway there, he suddenly scratched his head and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
It seems that I have forgotten something?
By the way, I seem to have forgotten to ask what happened to the rabbit hitting the tree just now?
But thinking that time was running out and there was no time to waste, he had to catch the prey as soon as possible. After all, he had nothing to show for it now.
Chen Xue's future is in her own hands. They trust her so much, she can't let them down.
"It was fooled!"
Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect Xu Tian to be so easy to fool. He could be easily fooled.
In fact, she could also use hypnosis, but that was too energy-consuming, and if used on a person many times, the effect would become weaker and weaker. She would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Fortunately, Xu Tian is easier to fool.
After she left, Chen Xue quickly took out the carrot bait. She had just caught more than a dozen rabbits, which was not enough. She wanted to catch more at this time, otherwise she would have no chance later.
After all, there are not rabbits everywhere, and with the arrival of winter, the rabbits hibernate. Even if there is bait, it is estimated that it will not be very effective.
She threw the rabbits that were not dead into the space, and the unconscious rabbits woke up not long after.
When they saw the unfamiliar place, they were suddenly a little scared and curled up in a ball, but after waiting for a while and finding that there was no danger, they jumped around happily.
Looking at the lively and energetic rabbits in the space, Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief. These were actually walking skewers of meat!
…………
"Come on, let's go back!"
Although there was still some time before the end of the game, Converse and others decided to go back. After all, it was already dark and they would not be able to see clearly if they did not leave.
After dark, the forest became pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Not to mention hunting, you couldn't even see the road clearly when walking.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is, when it got dark, they felt that the surrounding environment became eerie and terrifying.
From time to time, there were sounds of insects chirping, even the roars of wild beasts, and rustling sounds in the grass.
These sounds were terrifying in themselves, and coupled with the group of strange rabbits they had seen before, they made them feel as if there were countless ghosts hiding around them.
"Brother Wei, we...we don't seem to have caught any prey yet...we'll lose if we go back now..." someone couldn't help but protest.
At first I caught a rabbit, but it used a trick to run away. So it ran away. At worst I could catch it again.
But when they saw the group of strange rabbits, this image popped up in their minds from time to time, making it impossible for them to calm down and concentrate on hunting.
More importantly, they would feel inexplicably scared when they saw a rabbit, and they would not even dare to reach out and catch it when a rabbit appeared in front of them.
After all, who knows whether these rabbits are normal or not.
As a result, they didn't dare to catch the rabbit. Most of the animals in the forest of the autumn and winter world hid, and it was basically difficult to find prey, so they now got nothing.
"Don't worry." Converse waved his hand. "If nothing unexpected happens, that idiot Xu Tian has been killed by those weird rabbits."
As the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when it is angry, let alone a rabbit that has become abnormal and suspected of being possessed by a ghost.
If it's just one or two it's okay, but if you encounter a group of them, even if you don't get attacked, you will be scared to death.
Once they die, what's the point of their competition? Even if they don't catch the prey, they can't lose.
When the others heard the words "weird rabbit", they shuddered and didn't want to stay in the forest for even a second longer.
A group of people rushed out of the forest and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the exiled team. It was too depressing and terrifying inside.
Fortunately, it was impossible for those weird rabbits to chase us out.
Just as they were thinking about it, they heard a rustling sound behind them. Their hearts suddenly tightened and they turned around in horror.
But he was relieved when he found out that they were not those weird rabbits.
But the next second, their expressions changed, looking at Xu Tian and Chen Xue, "You are not dead"
Xu Tian: “”
I just went hunting, how did it escalate to the point where I could die?
Seeing that Xu Tian and others did not respond, but instead had strange expressions on their faces, they were startled and could not help but question again.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
Xu Tian: “!!!”
Chen Xue was also confused. She and Master Chen looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that these people were kicked in the head by a rabbit while hunting?
