Chapter 79
Because Shitou couldn't go up the mountain with them to see, he was particularly curious when he saw the brothers from the village coming back.
Right next to the stone, there was a group of children, also looking at the brothers with curious eyes.
"Don't be curious, you can't go to this mountain yet. If we tell you now, your parents will spank you later~"
The brothers looked at each other and decided not to say anything in order to avoid saying something that would inadvertently tempt these little brats to go up the mountain to play by themselves.
Before leaving, he looked at the little kids who came up to him and rubbed their heads one by one.
"Hey, you didn't say anything and messed up your hair."
Shitou was speechless and reached out to scratch his forehead twice.
After making sure that he was still a handsome kid, he turned around and went to find something fun on his own.
When Shitou said his hair was messy, Ying Huai subconsciously lowered his head to glance at his little head. In the end, he only saw Shitou's short clumps of hair like a kiwi fruit, and was speechless.
How messy can this hairstyle get? It's hard to even keep the hair flat against the scalp, right?
Since the children can't go out to play and we can't get any information about the outside world from them, it should be okay for them to play other things now, right?
After making sure that the children in the village had given up their attention and turned to the mountains, some of the older brothers in the village breathed a sigh of relief.
What they don’t know is that even though they can’t go up the mountain, there are new things happening not only on this mountain but also on that mountain.
"Brother, are you sure?"
Xiao Ling'er stood behind a group of children and asked Shi Tou with a complicated expression.
Because they had been making trouble for a long time, the villagers invited her parents to be their teachers. Now that they finally have some time, they are focusing their attention on places that adults usually don't think of.
"Let's not talk about whether the adults will find out next time. What will we do if they find out this time?"
"No, Xiao Ling'er, we've been very good this time. We've all completed our homework very carefully. We're just playing normally now, just at a different distance."
As Shitou spoke, he waved towards Xiao Ling'er, as if to say that if she didn't want to continue following them, then they would set off on their own and leave Xiao Ling'er in the village to play by herself.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling'er knew that she could not persuade him anymore. She opened her mouth, but finally followed reluctantly.
"Xiao Ling'er, don't worry. If anything really goes wrong, I will protect them."
Nuonuo had seen Xiao Ling'er worried before, and she thought that if Xiao Ling'er could be persuaded successfully, she would definitely follow her back immediately.
Unexpectedly, Shitou and the others had not only heard about that fun place from somewhere before, but even Xiao Ling'er's persuasion couldn't make them give up the idea.
"Then why didn't you help me persuade her just now?"
Xiao Ling'er pouted and glanced at the little stone doll in Nuonuo's arms.
"Because my little stone doll said that there seems to be something it needs in that direction, so even if you don't go, I will still go there, hehe..."
When Nuonuo heard Xiao Ling'er's words, she smiled awkwardly.
Xiao Ling'er understood what Nuonuo said. She was afraid to go out to find things by herself, so when she heard that Shitou wanted to come in this direction to play today, she wanted to take a detour.
Following the brothers and sisters in the village is much better than Nono walking on the mountain path to find things alone.
"Why didn't you tell me before? If I had known you were coming here, I wouldn't have said anything."
When Xiao Ling'er heard Nuonuo say that she was coming here to look for something, her first reaction was that Nuonuo might need to use his upgraded abilities, otherwise Nuonuo wouldn't be so risky to come out and look for something.
"Well, I didn't want you to go with me before. After all, I heard that what I was looking for was very far away, and I was afraid that you would encounter danger on the way."
After Nuonuo finished speaking, she focused her eyes on Xiaoling'er who was walking beside her, and didn't notice the speechless gaze from the side just as she finished speaking.
"Brother, you're walking too slowly."
Xiao Ling'er was still talking to Nuo Nuo and didn't notice Momo who was walking in front of her. In addition, Momo just noticed and eavesdropped on their conversation, so Xiao Ling'er bumped into Momo.
"You two little girls are walking too slowly."
If he hadn't walked so slowly, he wouldn't have been able to hear what Nuonuo said, right?
This little girl is afraid that Xiao Ling'er will encounter danger, but isn't she afraid that her brothers will encounter danger?
"You're not afraid. Even if you didn't come out today and head in this direction, you would choose to come out from the next place next time and take the risk regardless of opposition."
Nuonuo took the time to look at Momo, tilted his head and thought about what Momo was thinking at the moment, and then told Momo everything he was thinking.
After hearing this, Momo was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
After all, they really thought so. From the very beginning, when the children in the village discussed going out to play, they were thinking about what direction they would choose to continue their adventure next time if they were stopped by the adults.
And to be on the safe side, they didn't let those incapable people in the village leave the village, and they didn't let them out with them on this trip.
It’s not that he looks down on those kids, but Shi Tou has been talking about honing their abilities since he brought them out from the very beginning.
I don't know where Shitou heard that any ability needs to be honed in battle, so he wanted to take a walk around nearby while the adults weren't paying attention.
"There's no need to see us so clearly."
Momo rubbed the back of his head, feeling a little helpless.
“That’s right.”
As Nuonuo spoke, she moved closer to Xiaoling'er and continued chatting and laughing.
"Anyway, if you want to play, be careful. If anything goes wrong, the uncles and aunts in the village will definitely hang you up and beat you!"
Xiao Ling'er had already made it very clear to her two brothers.
Since they still wanted to take people out to play, she couldn't stop them and had to follow them.
"It's okay. Their main target this time should be the bugs that suddenly mutated outside. I heard that the combat power of those bugs is not much higher than other mutated plants and animals..."
Nuonuo's words were not confirmed because they had not walked very far, at least not to the destination that Shitou wanted to go, when they encountered mutant insects.
At first, the other insect didn't intend to attack the human children passing through its territory. It was just that after it had confronted the hostile mutant insect, defeated and eaten it, it got a little too excited and lost control, and launched an attack in the direction of Shi Tou and the others.
If Xiao Ling'er hadn't used her ability to suppress the opponent's attack power to the lowest level the moment she discovered the attack, all the children in their group would have been injured.
Seeing that they had not originally paid attention to these insects, but the other party took the initiative to provoke them, Shitou and the other kids did not tolerate it.
Although their ability control was not as smooth as that of adults, they still had plenty of attacks. In just ten minutes, Shi Tou and the others had tortured the fat and round insect to death, squeezing out some of its internal parts, leaving only a loose body held up by Shi Tou.
"This bug looks plump. Clean it up and I'll take it home to feed my laying hens."
As Shitou spoke, he had already packed up the insect's body and slung it onto his back. After making sure that there were no more actively attacking insects around, he gave up on the initiative with some regret and continued walking towards their pre-determined destination.
"The destination we originally chose was a bit far away. If we had known earlier, we should have chosen a destination closer."
A child followed behind, looking at the grass leaves around him that were taller than him. He couldn't even see the surrounding environment clearly. He muttered aloud with some worry, but he didn't regret following the stone out.
They had agreed on this when they first came out. Whether they wanted to follow along was entirely up to them. If they didn't want to take the risk, Shitou and the others wouldn't force them, after all, leaving the village was dangerous.
"There's nothing I can do. The grass and leaves in the village have all been cleared by the elders. I've never seen grass this high. This is the first time I've seen grass this deep since I left home."
Shitou raised his head and scanned the surroundings, but was sure that he couldn't even see the surroundings clearly at his own height, so he had to give up.
The last time Shi Tou went out was because of the mutant ants.
The villagers were in a hurry to get down the mountain, so they needed to clear the road as soon as possible. As long as it was suitable, even the stones could be moved in one go. At that time, in order to make it easier for the stones to be moved, some uncles and aunts even carried them on their backs.
With the height of an adult, it is normal for him to see the environment clearly.
But now, putting aside his height issue, the increase in spiritual energy content that appeared later was enough to make these mutant grass leaves grow wildly again.
Not to mention the children, even the adults in the village cannot see the surrounding environment clearly when walking on this road. It is easy to get lost in this sea of grass where you can't see the surrounding environment clearly.
"Brother Shitou, are we almost there?"
Seeing that Shitou was about to exaggerate how powerful he was the last time he went out, Xiao Ling'er's ears were almost callused from hearing it and she didn't want to listen anymore, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Well, it seems we are almost there. There is a sound ahead."
After hearing Xiao Ling'er's reminder, Shi Tou reacted, listened carefully, and felt relieved only after he was sure that he and his group were almost at their destination.
Once delayed, I forgot what I wanted to say before.
He bent down and rubbed the head of a puppy that came up to his feet, and Shi Tou indicated to the puppy to lead the way as before.
The mutant animals had very sharp intuition. The paths that the puppy and the children took were basically normal and had no potholes. They could walk naturally without being tripped by grass leaves after taking a few steps.
Although Shitou and his friends could not see the surrounding environment clearly during this trip, they were not as bad as the adults. After they could not see the surroundings clearly and could not tell the direction, they easily got lost in the sea of grass.
Because even though children like Shitou cannot distinguish directions or take the right path, the mutant animals that Shitou takes out can distinguish them.
Especially the puppies that followed Shi Tou out, they seemed to have a special way of marking, and they had been marking all the way since they left the village.
With them around, getting lost is impossible.
It is possible that they would go back crying and complain about being bullied by the mutated animals and plants outside.
After brushing aside the last layer of grass curtain blocking their way, Shitou and the other children saw a deeper reed marsh.
The place where they were at this time was a relatively flat mountain valley. There was water flowing down the mountain. Because of this relatively flat area, some water accumulated, causing the water here to form a swamp.
"Wow!!! There are duck eggs!"
As soon as they arrived at the place, a child following behind Shi Tou had sharp eyes. After his eyes swept over one of the places, he exclaimed in a low voice and pointed his finger in that direction.
