Different from the sound of the waterfall falling, it seemed like something fell into the water from a height. The old man Mu who was fishing was so startled that he raised his head, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the two delicate faces floating up.
The hand holding the fishing rod trembled rarely, "This, is this a mermaid?"
"Why are there mermaids in land waters?" Old Man Mu was shocked, "And he is still holding the little fox demon."
Xixisuosuo~
The leaves on the other side were floating. Under the vigilant gaze of Old Man Mu, Yang Yi pushed aside the branches and jumped down from the low tree.
Old Man Mu looked at the mermaid and the fox demon, then stared at Yang Yi. He quietly moved one hand behind his back and reached into his waist. Under his clothes, there was a hand crossbow that he had hidden for many years.
At this time, the mermaid and the fox demon came ashore, threw themselves into the arms of that annoying guy, and talked intimately.
The guy nodded, and the mermaid and the little fox demon disappeared into the forest again. After a while, two shadows were clearly visible from the top of the waterfall falling from a height. They fell into the lake with a "tong" sound, and then two heads
He popped up again, looking very excited.
Old Man Mu's hands trembled even more, pointing at Yang Yi and speechless.
Yang Yi approached and asked: "Old man, do you know the origin of Ah Li?"
"Is that the name of the little fox demon? She recognizes you as her master!" Old Man Mu murmured softly, but Yang Yi listened to every word.
"Yes!" Yang Yi said.
Old Man Mu didn't say anything for a while, and then he put down his hand, as if he had suddenly lost strength. He didn't put away the fish basket, and turned around to go to the wooden house.
"Come in, and call the little fox Ali in too." Old Man Mu's old voice came as he walked through the door.
It’s done! Taking the fox demon route is indeed the right thing to do!
Yang Yi called Xiaowei and Ah Li to come up and get out of the water so that they could use the system function to dry their clothes. Holding their slender waists, Yang Yi walked into the wooden house.
The house was simple and there was nothing. Old man Mu sat at the table, poured hot tea, and drank it by himself.
Xiaowei stood aside obediently, while Ahli looked at Old Man Mu curiously, and then said "Yiyi ya ya" to Yang Yi.
Sure enough, Ah Li said that he didn't know why, but he felt close to Old Man Mu when he saw him, so he often peeked at him from the other side of the lake.
"Didn't you ask me if I am Yue En's master?" Old Mu suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning, and said, "I will answer you now, no!"
Yang Yi was stunned.
"Yueen is my daughter!" Old Man Mu said again, taking out an exquisite hand crossbow from under the clothes at the waist. The hand crossbow was not big, it only screamed with a slap, and it was smaller than the legendary night hunter's weapon hand crossbow.
.
"Your daughter?" Yang Yi's eyes widened, "Are you that old?"
The last Night Hunter? Yue En died 50 years ago. Visually, Yue En was about 30 years old at that time. As Yue En's father, he is already 90 years old and dying now, right?
Although Mr. Yang Yi calls him an old man, this girl is only about 60 years old and has a strong body!
"I am a hunter." Old Man Mu nodded and added: "I am an excellent hunter!"
"Uh~"
Yang Yi poured a cup of tea for Old Man Mu. Old Man Mu picked up the teacup and looked at Ah Li, lost in memories.
"Xiao Yue actually foresaw her demise a long time ago. She gave up hunting down the race that fell into darkness more than 50 years ago, returned to this small village, and spent a few years in peace and contentment with the old man and me."
"It wasn't until after dinner that day 50 years ago that Xiao Yue suddenly had a premonition of something, so she just put her giant crossbow on her back and disappeared into the night."
"When I came back, it was already three months later. Xiaoyue was covered with scars, and she brought back a glowing cocoon. On the surface of the light cocoon, there was a trace of black air flowing undetectably. This was all based on my hunter's eyes.
Only then can you see it." At this point, Old Man Mu looked at Ahri, and it was obvious that Ahri was inside the light cocoon.
"She said that there was a trace of darkness in this cocoon of light. The vitality of the vibrant forest on the other side of the village could wash away that trace of darkness, but that would take more than thirty years, and she didn't have that much time."
"She handed me the light cocoon and asked me to place it in the center of the vitality forest. Then my daughter, the famous night hunter on the mainland, knelt down in front of me and told the old man that she might not be able to serve me anymore.
, the light cocoon will hatch after the black aura dissipates, and I hope the creature in the light cocoon can replace her."
"After she finished speaking, she stood up and disappeared into the night again. I knew that this was Xiaoyue's mission as a night hunter and the dark executor of the God of Light. I did not stop her."
Old Man Mu had tears in his eyes, "It wasn't until a year later that I heard the news of the death of the Night Hunter."
"So far, I have taken good care of the light cocoon. After all, this is the only thing Xiao Yue left for the old man."
"After all, the Vibrant Forest is not the miraculous forest of elves. The vitality of this forest is limited. After being used to wash away the trace of black energy, the vitality that is more abundant in other places disappears. The incubation period of the light cocoon is extended, and finally in a certain
It hatched in the dark."
"Unfortunately, I was not there at that time. When I arrived early the next morning, the little fox demon had already finished eating the cocoon. The first thing she saw was not me, but the woods. I tried to save it, but
There was a language barrier, so I never gained the trust of the little fox demon, who lived alone in that forest for more than ten years."
"Until she met you." Old Man Mu said quietly, with a hint of envy in it, "You gained her trust through the little mermaid, right?"
"Yes." After hearing this, Yang Yi was in awe of Old Man Mu. He had always treated these NPCs as normal people. Whether it was the experience of the previous life or the inexplicably incomplete memory fragments, they all told him who
If you only treat these NPCs as virtual characters, you will suffer big losses sooner or later.
At this time, Yang Yi suddenly felt something in his heart. The light cocoon at that time was somewhat similar to the egg of the Ice and Snow Demon King. Couldn't the light cocoon be derived from the nine-tailed demon fox to resist the darkness? It's just that the Ice and Snow Demon King's egg was given to his apprentice early in the morning.
, otherwise maybe you can take it out and show it to Old Man Mu.
Thinking like this, Yang Yi touched Ah Li's head and relayed what Old Man Mu told him to Ah Li.
Ah Li looked at Old Man Mu and then at Yang Yi.
Yang Yi nodded.
So Ah Li obediently squatted next to Old Mu and rested his head on Old Mu's legs to show his closeness.
This moment was incredible. Old Man Mu looked at Ah Li's peaceful face pillowed on his lap and tears welled up in his eyes. He gently stroked Ah Li's hair with his trembling hands and burst into tears.
Ah Li didn't know why, but still reached out to help Old Man Mu wipe away his tears.
Yang Yi was holding Xiaowei and watching from the side, waiting for Old Man Mu to slow down.
More than half an hour later, Old Man Mu looked like he had no regrets, and thanked Yang Yi: "Thank you young man, you helped me fulfill a wish I have had for many years."
"Tell me, why did you come here to see me? I will try my best to help you in return." Old Man Mu's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Yang Yi smiled, "I want to be as strong as your daughter Yuen."
