(Sorry, I have to rush to do one update tonight and two updates tomorrow. Because I said that updates will be accelerated after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will keep updating twice a day except for occasional circumstances.)
After everyone looked at the room, the mayor informed Xia Han and his party of the trouble the town had encountered.
Several people have gone missing in Shanbia Town this month. They disappeared after entering the forest to hunt, causing people to panic.
Several people immediately launched an investigation into the matter, and they learned that many of the missing villagers were good hunters, and the possibility of getting lost was very small. Moreover, a collective investigation had been conducted in the town, and they did not even find the body.
Xia Han and the others followed the villagers' instructions and entered the forest to investigate. The whole morning passed without any results. At noon, they prepared lunch by a gurgling stream in a deep valley. The villagers who led the way and Qiuye's guards were cleaning the carcasses of prey by the stream.
Xia Han and Qiu Ye helped raise the bonfire.
"Xia Han, isn't that female thief your maid?" When the two were placing wood, Qiu Ye asked nervously: "Why do I always feel like she wants to kill me?"
"You are worrying too much..." Xia Han smiled: "She has always been like that, with a cold face and a cold heart."
He looked at Bai Xue. The female elf was squatting by the stream, sharpening the dagger on the stone with cold eyes. Her quick movements even caused the stone to spark.
[Can this guy be more frugal?] Xia Han was worried. All morning, Bai Xue was either directing his murderous intent towards Qiu Ye, or making sarcastic remarks about Chun Qing... Anyway, the murderous intent was too conspicuous.
"I'll go talk to her." Xia Han handed over the work to Qiu Ye, and then took Bai Xue into the forest. The interior of the forest was cool and comfortable, and the sky was blocked by dense tree branches.
Xia Han turned around, his face darkening: "Can't you treat them two normally?"
"I can't treat it normally..." Bai Xue pouted, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "I hate all humans, and I hate the humans who seduced the princess and you even more..."
"But am I not a human being too?" Xia Han retorted.
"Who said you are a human?" Bai Xue shook his head, looking surprised: "You have always been an elf."
She identified Xia Han as an elf many years ago, before he showed up in elf form.
"Your mother gave you the blessing that only elves can have, so you are our compatriot." She explained again, and then said angrily: "And I have never liked humans since I was a child, and I hate them even more after meeting you... They
It will do nothing but cause disaster."
Bai Xue has been traveling in the human world for a long time, but Xia Han's experience made her completely hate humans. Xia Han, who had been hurt since birth, made her very heartbroken, and even more so when they met again after separation in Morning Prairie.
No matter what Xia Han does, other humans will only hurt him. Although Bai Xue has never shown it to such a despicable race, she hates it from the bottom of her heart. This time, Fiona's ambiguity towards Qiu Ye has completely aroused her hatred.
"Little guy, you must not be tempted by that human girl!" Bai Xue said with fire in her eyes and gritted her teeth: "And that human prince, I will never let him be with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xia Han was very troubled.
"I'm not interested in spring love." He had no choice but to explain frankly, intending to appease Bai Xue from the root cause. However, after he talked for a long time, Bai Xue only gave up on spring love, and Qiu Ye was still her enemy that must be killed.
"Is Princess Fiona that important?" Xia Han couldn't understand. Bai Xue's feelings for Fiona seemed to be stronger than her feelings for him.
"..." However, Bai Xue did not answer the question directly. She bit her lip and stared at Xia Han: "I know what you are thinking, but my feelings for Her Royal Highness are definitely not what you imagined."
"Is it...?" Xia Han expressed serious doubts: "Can you come up with something to make me believe it?"
"..."
Bai Xue was stunned for a moment. She thought for a long time before nodding: "Yes, I have evidence."
Before she could tell what the evidence was, a call came from the distance, and before she knew it, their lunch was ready.
Xia Han and Bai Xue could only put the topic on hold and return to the stream to enjoy lunch. Fortunately, although Bai Xue still harbored ill intentions towards Qiu Ye, her attitude was not as exposed as it was in the morning.
Seeing such white snow on an autumn night, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you." He gave Xia Han a look of thanks, and the tension in his heart was reduced a lot.
Bai Xue took a few sips of the boiling broth and whispered the so-called evidence next to Xia Han: "Your Highness the Princess fascinates me, but I have never been in love with her... I think I have no sexual interest in the same sex.
"
"Pfft!" Xia Han spurted out the broth in his mouth.
"You...are you okay?" Chunqing, who was sitting opposite him, broke out in a cold sweat and ran to the side. She was so scared that she didn't get sprayed by water.
"It's okay, I choked." Xia Han coughed a few times, his face turned red, and it took a while before he returned to normal.
What kind of evidence is this? He glanced at Bai Xue angrily, suspecting that she deliberately said such things to make him look embarrassed.
However, at this time, the little squirrel transformed by the dialogue system ran out again, wagging its tail and laughing very happily: "Hahaha... My stupid master, she didn't lie to you."
"Let me, the all-knowing and all-powerful one, give you some popular science." The little squirrel flew to Bai Xue's head and sat down: "Although this woman is so energetic that even I am dumbfounded, she is not bothered at all and only thinks about you at night.
"
Xia Han almost spurted out again, and a small fire burst out in his heart at the same time.
"...My sad master, your body's hormone secretion has become faster..." The little squirrel's face changed slightly, showing a disgusting look: "You started to be restless before you grew up... You want me to speed up..."
Will it grow faster?"
"No need!"
Xia Han replied coldly in his mind, and at the same time extinguished the fire in his heart instantly. The aphrodisiac that Bai Xue gave him before has not yet worn off, and he will indeed be ready to move when he is slightly stimulated. But it doesn't matter, it will not affect him.
action.
Xia Han pretended that he had never heard anything about Bai Xue and Squirrel. In the afternoon, the group continued to explore the forest. On an ordinary tree, Xia Han relied on his sensitive eyesight to find strange fingerprints.
This fingerprint is very shallow, but it is about the size of two adult human thumbs.
"This...could it be that!" After being instructed by Xia Han, several humans were shocked when they saw the fingerprints, even Bai Xue was the same.
Qiu Ye walked to the tree and observed carefully, his expression became more and more solemn.
"That's right... these are fingerprints, the fingerprints of the giants." He turned back slightly nervously: "I think the people in the town were captured by the giants."
The giant race is a race that Xia Han has never heard of, but this race is unknown to everyone in the Suzaku Continent. When humans mysteriously appeared, the masters of the Suzaku Continent were giants.
