When Lin An gradually woke up from the coma, he found that he was lying on a warm blanket, covered with another blanket, and underneath the blanket was a layer of branches that had been picked up and used to isolate the moisture.
Unlike those blankets he had seen from the north, this blanket was very soft, especially the down on it. It even made him feel like he was sinking into it.
At the same time, the flower in the center of the blanket amazed him because he had never seen such a brightly colored pattern that looked so lifelike.
"It seems that I must have been rescued." Lin An let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the stars in the sky. After all, the monster who wanted to eat people would not let him out of the cave and cover him with such a good blanket.
After turning his neck with some difficulty, Lin An found that a fire was raised next to him.
Although the fire was very small and did not even provide much warmth, as a mountain ghost he could easily see the surrounding situation clearly with the help of this light.
He found that he was lying in the shelter of a small slope, and all the clothes on his front were piled not far from him, with a small dagger pressed on top.
Seeing this, he immediately stretched out his hand to touch himself, only to find that his original clothes were only a pair of underwear, and his body was covered with a special kind of white cloth strips. Some grease, probably medicine, was applied to his wounds.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the trees not far away, so he subconsciously reached for the dagger placed not far away from him, but his hand went limp and he fell to the ground.
It's not his fault. After all, after being tied there and starving for five or six days with only a few sips of water, the fact that he is still able to move now is enough to say that the mountain ghosts are more talented than humans.
Fortunately, at this time, he also discovered that the person walking out of the bushes was not an enemy or a monster, but a tall young man with a sword slung on his waist and a large iron teapot in his hand.
There was a smell of grain coming from the vat.
He instantly felt that his stomach began to cramp, which was the feeling after being hungry for a long time.
"Let's eat something first." After watching the mountain ghost he rescued wake up, Liang En's face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
After rescuing the person, he realized that rescuing the person was just the beginning. A series of problems such as how to wake the person up, how to move the person, and even how to send the person to the appropriate place were all confusing.
Fortunately, it seems now that the mountain ghost race is much thicker than humans. They can wake up just by drinking some glucose water, and their spirits are obviously much better than before.
It seems that if the other party eats something, he should be able to regain some mobility, so that he can take the young mountain ghost in front of him and leave this poor place.
"What's your name? How did you get here?" Liang En asked in a gentle tone, looking at the mountain ghost who was snoring and eating rice porridge in a stainless steel rice vat.
"Lin An, my name is Lin An." After swallowing the porridge in his mouth, the very young-looking mountain ghost raised his head and said seriously, and then talked about what happened to him while eating.
As Liang En had guessed before, this mountain ghost named Lin An was not an ordinary mountain ghost, but a young patriarch of a mountain ghost clan living on an island in Taihu Lake.
Different from human administrative divisions, mountain ghosts use clan as the lowest unit, and each clan has a hibiscus tree as the core of their entire clan.
This hibiscus tree is not only spiritual to them, but also the core of the survival of this race: without the hibiscus tree, their fertility would be reduced to 1/10 of its current level.
For this reason, mountain ghosts who can communicate with fuso trees will be regarded as the rulers of the clan by the mountain ghosts. The elders will be regarded as the patriarchs to rule the entire clan, and the younger ones will be regarded as the young patriarchs and heirs.
That's right, a mountain ghost clan can have more than one clan leader, and naturally there can be more than one young clan leader. At the same time, most of the time they don't have any blood relationship, as long as they can communicate with Fusang Mu.
But even in such a large-scale audition, in the ordinary Shangui clan, there will almost never be multiple clan leaders and young clan leaders at the same time, but the main ones will be passed down one by one.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, a young clan leader like Lin An should be under heavy protection. If you want to catch him, you will inevitably conflict with the entire Shangui clan.
Although mountain ghosts have always been regarded as a gentle race, they are naturally close to nature and have mastered many special powers. They are definitely not weak in a fight.
Judging from the previous fights, although the level of the monster with the aura of death is not low, it is not much higher. It is absolutely impossible to snatch people from an entire clan.
But there are always exceptions. For example, the unlucky guy in front of him, Lin An, was too young when he became the young patriarch, so he needed to join the trial as the heir.
This is not a secret message to many thoughtful people, but the mountain ghosts who have experienced the baptism of hibiscus wood have unique characteristics and are easy to identify.
So when Lin An independently started hunting for his coming-of-age ceremony according to tradition, the monster ambushed him and abducted him.
For that monster, naturally, the purpose of capturing the mountain ghost is to eat it to increase its own strength, but eating it alive will naturally not maximize the effect.
So after catching the mountain ghost here, the monster planned to find some ingredients to maximize the effect of the mountain ghost and ensure that it could maximize its power this time.
What I didn't expect was that on the road, I met Liang En, who had much more energy than ordinary people, standing alone. So the monster became greedy and tried to get more, but was chopped to death by Liang En with a sword.
"——I heard that guy say that he was going out to find some ingredients to make me into a medicine, but I didn't expect that you got involved. Fortunately, not only did you not get hurt, you also successfully saved me."
Seven or eight minutes later, Lin An, who had finished a bowl of porridge, also finished talking about what happened to him.
"Yeah, that's it." After listening to Lin An's thoughts, Liang En finally understood why the monster just kept getting in trouble with him again and again, but at this time he still had one last problem that he didn't solve.
clear..
"But your identity is so important, why didn't your clan come to save you?"
"Because this kind of trial is conducted in a closed manner by many clans together, no one will find that one or two people are missing before the trial ends."
Having said this, Lin An let out a long sigh.
"Under normal circumstances, the surrounding guardians would not allow any abnormal beings to enter the trial site, but I did not expect that the ghoul had actually been lying there disguised as a corpse a long time ago, and then suddenly attacked me."
"So I always felt that that guy should have practiced some special skills or mastered some kind of treasure, otherwise it would be impossible to escape the eyes of the guards."
