Due to the inaccessibility of people, the four girls basically walked on the "animal path", that is, a natural trail that must have food, water sources and resting places along the way. It is inevitable that they will encounter fellow travelers or those who go against the path.
Because of Chi Ru, they stayed at the lake for a while, waiting for Taotie to catch the strange fish to satisfy their appetite.
At this time, a long-tailed monkey about the same size as a human but with white ears passed by.
"Oh, it's '狌狌(xing)'," Qiongqi looked at it and said, "If you eat it, you can walk as fast as flying."
"Eating monkeys?" Guiling and Yaozhu both looked disapproving.
"Gahji!" The white-eared monkey seemed to understand the conversation of the girls, and was frightened. He immediately put down the bunch of bananas he was carrying, and then ran away quickly.
"Monkey? How do you eat it?" Taotie, who returned to the trail after eating a few strange fish, asked in confusion.
"No, we are saying that this fruit is suitable for monkeys to eat." Yaozhu pointed to the banana left by the monkey.
"It's also suitable for me to eat!" Taotie declared its ownership with wide eyes.
Click, click.
While the girls were talking, a horse, or something like a horse, came up the path.
Its head was white, there were tiger stripes on its back, and its tail was bright red as if it was burning. It opened its mouth and ate the bunch of bananas in a few mouthfuls.
"...This is 'Lushu'. The elders wearing clothes made of its fur can help their descendants reproduce better." Qiongqi said in a tone like announcing the name of a dish.
"Wu Gu——" After Taotie swallowed it in one gulp, he suddenly thought of something and said, "They look so strange, are they monsters?"
Is this question too late?
"Well... not really," Qiongqi rolled his eyes: "Only those who have human characteristics or can become human are called 'demon'."
"Human characteristics? Like that?" Taotie blinked and raised his hand to point to the roadside.
Passing by there was an orange cat that was about half as tall as a person and walked upright. She had human-like hair and was holding a kitten of the same style in her front paws.
"...Yes, that's it." Qiongqi said: "It's called 'Lei', and it has no medicinal effect."
"Oh." Taotie smacked his lips and looked away.
"Did you just say 'drug effect'?" Yaozhu stared at her.
————
The girls left the pond and went on the road again. Although there was no normal "road" to walk, because they were carrying the feathers of Guan Guan, they just walked. The final destination must be someone who could teach them a lesson or help them teach them a lesson.
Leading place.
Because they met a half-demon like Akari, the girls spent the rest of the journey trying to stop Taotie from indiscriminately eating everything she encountered, and they repeatedly made sure that the target was not a "demon" with a mind before giving it to her.
"Humans who have the physical characteristics of beasts are called 'witches', and beasts who have the characteristics of human beings are called 'demon'. So how should we call these 'beasts' when most of them are beasts that have the characteristics of other beasts?"
After walking a long distance, Turtle Spirit asked Qiongqi thoughtfully.
"Called...'alien beast'?" Qiongqi shook the hair hanging down from her forehead: "Strictly speaking, we are too."
"I don't want to be" Yaozhu curled his lips.
"Exotic beasts, when matched well, are dragons, phoenixes, and four elephants, but if they are not matched well..." Guiling pointed forward.
There is a goat on the roadside, but it has eight tails, six ears, horns on the nose, and eyes on the back.
"It's Boyi (yi). If you eat it, you won't have fear." Qiongqi looked at the sheep up and down.
"If you can overcome the fear in your heart and speak to it, then there is really nothing to be afraid of -" Yuzhu said while touching his mask.
"Ah...huh?" Taotie ran towards the sheep, but before she could get close, the sheep turned around and ran away without hesitation, leaving the little girl who didn't expect it with nothing to eat.
"In the end, it turned out to be a coward!" Yaozhu was surprised.
"Quack, quack, gu!" Although Taotie pounced in vain, when the sheep ran, a strange chicken flew up, and the strange chicken flew into Taotie's face without dying.
When the other girls thought that the chicken that didn't even have a name was going to be eaten, Taotie came back with the chicken in his arms with a confused look on his face, and said something shocking to them: "This seems to be inedible. ."
"This is changhu. If you eat it, you will be in high spirits and you won't have to sleep all day long. Uh..." Halfway through Qiongqi's words, he understood why Taotie said this chicken could not be eaten.
It looks like a fat chicken with bright feathers and full of energy, but it has three heads and only one foot under its body. It is not afraid at all when it sees three girls surrounding it. Each of the three heads looks at one, with a hair in its beak. Voice: "Oh, oh, oh~"
"It looks just like the third child in Uncle Dijun's family." Yaozhao looked up at the sky: "Whoever dares to eat it will be exposed to the sun all day long, so he really doesn't need to sleep."
"Yeah." Taotie nodded and put down the chicken.
This Shangfu obviously often received such special treatment. After landing, it fluttered its feathers, raised its head, and hopped away on its one foot.
"..." Taotie was a little disappointed, and then turned his expectant eyes to the depths of the mountains ahead of the road.
I usually fly in the sky and don't notice that there are so many delicious things on the ground, and there is a sister who can call each of them by name. It couldn't be more enjoyable.
"Next, I'm afraid we can't just eat everything we see," Qiongqi followed her gaze, and then interrupted the girl's fantasy: "The front is to Meishan, what Qingqiu is to Tushan, we don’t know what kind of creature the leader in this mountain is or what his level of cultivation is. This is not because we are afraid of them, but if we really fight against them and cannot win quickly, they will definitely be lured away. found."
"Okay then." Taotie covered his mouth with both hands unhappily.
Boom boom boom——
After the girls finished their discussion and were about to quietly pass by the mountain, they heard a continuous sound of trees being broken in front of them. Then, a huge buffalo rushed out from the depths of the mountain forest, and it was quite strange.
Yes, there was a native dog sitting firmly on its back.
"Ka--" After seeing the four girls, the buffalo began to use force to stop, but even if it used all four hooves to plow a deep ditch on the ground, it could not stop completely.
Taotie blinked, lowered his hands and opened his mouth, as if he was ready to invite you into the urn, but this move was finally stopped by the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit slapping the big shield on the bull's head.
When the big buffalo was shaking unsteadily, the native dog jumped off the back of the buffalo and mouthed human words to the girls:
"On the chin, cough, I bow to you. On the order of my King Yuan Hong, I came to greet the four fairies."
