Chapter 397 The Gap
As the sky gradually darkened, Mulanzhi and Lei went to the place agreed with Fengyun one by one.
Lei carried a large pannier woven of soft branches on his back. Although it didn't look pretty, it was stronger than it was.
The baskets were stuffed with gray-white birds mixed with many black spots. There were so many of them crowded together that many of them couldn't even sing.
Those birds with black spots on their bodies are the black freckles that Mulanzhi talked about. In other words, the black freckles in the basket are the harvest of the two.
"Lei, do you think Yun will still not tell us the truth?"
Mulanzhi took two quick steps, came to the place where Lei Qiping was, turned her head to look at him, with a trace of apprehension in her brows.
"Probably not. Although we didn't catch 2,000, but the difference is only less than 200. He shouldn't care too much."
"That's good."
Mulanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "If Yun doesn't tell us the truth, it will be too cruel to us. We spent a lot of effort to catch so many black freckles."
"Yeah. It's really not easy."
Ray showed empathy for her words.
In fact, in order to complete the task assigned by Fengyun, they suffered a lot.
The lack of tools and the need to ensure a relatively high survival rate of the captured black french finch is a very big test for them.
Most of the time, the two of them were running, sneaking up on the congregating finches, then attacking them, surprising them, and grabbing some.
However, as time went on, it became more and more difficult for them to catch the bird.
Although these black spotted finch are not smart enough, their memory of the enemy still exists.
After being attacked by Lei and Mulanzhi in succession, they still remembered them.
After more times, when they pounced on them again, they flapped their wings and flew up without waiting for them to get close.
Fortunately, the Jiuqu River area covers a relatively large area, and the number of black freckles is also very large. If you change to a new place, you can still continue to complete the task of explaining the situation.
When the black spotted finch that was attacked became wary of them, they immediately changed the scene and went to another place to continue the capture.
During this process, both he and Mulanzhi were very serious, striving to complete the task, and even wanted to exceed the task.
However, reality soon gave them a blow.
Due to various reasons, not only did they not complete all of their tasks, they even missed a lot, so they could only anxiously wait for Fengyun to give a judgment.
In fact, they planned to make up for the missing parts before rushing to the assembly point, but they were finally rejected by Lei.
Based on his knowledge of Fengyun, arriving at the rendezvous point on time was obviously more important than catching a few more birds, so they finally gave up.
Mulanzhi and Ray were tired after spending most of the time hunting the finches, racing them and catching them before they could react.
They are totem warriors, but they also have a limit. Once they reach or get better than the limit, they will also get tired.
But even so, they still cheered up and looked towards the assembly point, wondering if Fengyun was there.
When they first looked over, Fengyun didn't exist, the assembly point was empty, and there were no traces of people at all.
However, in the next moment, a person was already standing there firmly.
That person is Fengyun.
Although they were a little far away from him, they had been in contact with Fengyun for a period of time after all, and they were quite familiar with his clothes and figure, so they would not admit his mistake.
Although Fengyun's way of appearing out of thin air had a certain impact on Mulanzhi and Lei, their attention was still diverted from him.
They started looking for the black spotted finch he had brought back, to see if there were enough of it.
The number of black freckles they caught was indeed a little less than Fengyun's figure. If Fengyun did not catch enough like them, he would have no reason not to tell them the truth.
They quickly found the black spotted finch caught by Fengyun, but when they saw their situation clearly, their expressions suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but gasped.
Regarding Fengyun's ability to complete the task, based on their understanding of him and his own performance in the recent period, they will not be surprised if he completes the task.
But what they never expected was that Fengyun's performance would be so excellent.
Not far from him, they saw three baskets woven with rattan. They were all very large, each bigger than the back that Lei was carrying, and each basket was filled with black spots. bird.
According to their calculations, the number of black sparrows in any of the three baskets beside Fengyun will definitely not be slightly less than the one on Lei's back.
In short, Fengyun alone caught many more black freckles than the two of them together, and the number was not even a little bit more, which greatly stimulated them.
They took another look at the three baskets not far from Fengyun, and confirmed them again, which made them unable to bear the expression of frustration.
Even so, they didn't choose to back down anymore, they had already figured it out, this was something they had to face, unless they ran away and stopped fighting with Fengyun.
Fengyun put the panniers on the ground, and said loudly: "There are 1,839 in total, one hundred and sixty-one are missing. Yun, can you count that we have completed the task? These little things are too big. It's hard to catch."
Fengyun glanced at him, then at Mulanzhi, nodded, and said: "You have tried your best, even if you have completed it."
Fengyun didn't just look at the two of them casually, he was going to collect some information from them, and then use these information to judge whether they did their best.
If he really tried his best, even if it was a little bit short, he wouldn't care too much.
The results he observed told him that they really tried their best, and they were able to make the totem warriors look tired. From this, it is not difficult to imagine how much effort they spent in order to capture those black freckles.
"Yun, you caught so many black spotted finch this time, much more than we caught. How many are there?"
After getting the affirmative answer given by Fengyun, Lei's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, but a strong curiosity also arose in his heart, and he couldn't help asking him a question that he really wanted to know the answer to. (To be continued.)
