Chapter 1018 The King of the Forest Comes to Help
I knew that the elf uncle in front of me had good intentions, so I patiently listened to his lengthy advice.
After he finally finished repeating all the advice, I dragged up the wooden box filled with beef and mutton, smiled at him, and said, "Uncle, this little meat is really not enough for me and my friends. How can I do this with you?" Tell me, my group of friends, they live in the Forest of Elves."
The uncle was startled, then he felt relieved, his serious expression disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. He glanced at the piles of meat and asked me, "Young man, won't you buy more?"
In fact, I know very well his mentality when he asked this question - this uncle must have mistaken my friends for the many predators in the Elf Forest.
However, this misunderstanding is also very good, and it directly saved me a lot of trouble.
After buying the meat, I went to the spice shop and bought a bunch of spices, and then I went to the grocery store and bought an extra large pot.
Just how big is this pot?
Let me describe it: it's enough to stew Xiao Zhi in it.
How old is Xiaozhi now?
Let me describe it again: Xiaozhi's size is equivalent to that of an ordinary small bunker.
Carrying a big pot on my back, I was wandering toward the Elf Forest. I stood out so much that not only the businessmen on both sides of the commercial street poked their heads out to look at me, but also some passers-by. , also stopped involuntarily and looked at me with eyes full of curiosity.
At this moment, I am the brightest star on this street!
At the same time, I am also the most shining scapegoat in the entire Zephyr Continent!
I calmly carried the cauldron and strolled through the commercial streets of Moonlight City, heading towards the Elf Forest. In my ears, I could vaguely hear a small number of whispers.
"What is this person going to do with such a big problem on his back?"
"Who knows, maybe I want to hunt some game in the Elf Forest."
"Hunting game? That's illegal! Should we stop him?"
"No, look at his big pot. It's so scary. If we try to stop him, we won't be thrown into the pot and cooked by him."
"Is it true? He also eats people?"
"I'm just saying that, but I heard that cannibalism really seems to have happened in the human race. It's so scary!"
"Wow, humans are so scary."
With my sharp ears and eyesight, I heard such whispers along the way, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: What have my human race done? Would he be demonized to such an extent by the elven inhabitants? I'm just carrying a big pot, but I'm considered a man-eating monster?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
When I entered the Elf Forest, I realized how difficult the journey was. I left the wooden box containing the beef and mutton aside, and the large bag of spices on my back was negligible. This big pot alone made me miserable.
Weight is an issue, but it is not the most critical issue. The bumps and bumps along the way are the most fatal.
After barely taking a few steps, the cauldron would come into close contact with the tree trunks, making it difficult for me to move. Moreover, because the cauldron is so large, even if I hold it diagonally, it will definitely get stuck in some two trees that are close together. In between, it makes my move forward more difficult.
If I hold the cauldron upright, it won't hit the big tree, but in this case, I won't be able to estimate the beef and mutton behind me and the spice bag on my shoulder.
In this way, neither left nor right, I fell into a dilemma.
When I was in trouble, I heard a noise coming from the grass nearby. I turned around and saw a dark thing slowly poking out of the grass about half a man high. The thing was round. , the size of a basin, with a pair of vicious eyes wide open and shining with a fierce light. Under the vicious eyes is a protruding black oval nose. Under the round nose is a half-open bloody mouth. In the big mouth, The two rows of sharp teeth flashing with cold light are terrifying.
This is a bear.
I slowly put down the cauldron, stared at the bear in front of me, and walked over step by step.
When the bear saw me approaching, he opened his big mouth and roared at me. However, I was not afraid and walked over bravely.
Although I know that the body of this bear is hidden in the grass. On its body, there are four deadly claws. The claws are sharp and powerful. Once it is shot, even I will be injured. .
However, I am not afraid of getting hurt, because-it is the king of this forest and my friend.
Taking a few steps forward, I stretched out my fist and hammered it on the head mercilessly.
The bear grinned widely and barked at me twice, looking friendly.
"Why are you here?" I asked in confusion: "Why aren't you at home with your wife and children?"
The bear roared and stood up unsteadily from the grass. Its head was several heads taller than mine. Then it stretched out its strong paws and waved around a few times.
I understood what it meant. It was patrolling its own territory.
It also roared at me, and then gestured for a while, meaning to ask me what I was doing.
I pointed to the wooden box, bag and cauldron behind me and said, "Go to the goblins and make lunch for them."
The bear nodded, stretched out his paw and patted my shoulder, and roared. I understood what he meant. He told me to be busy and not to disturb me anymore.
I smiled, walked back to the cauldron, and continued to hold my chin to think of a solution. Suddenly, I was stunned, turned my head mechanically, and looked at the bear who was about to leave: Yes, why don't you ask it to help me drag the wooden box? That’s it!
Thinking of this, I quickly called the bear back and said to it, "Can you help me?"
The bear had a question mark on his face.
I pointed at the wooden box, then at the bag, and finally at the cauldron: "There are a lot of these three things, I can't finish them all in one trip."
The bear nodded, roared again, and went to get the big pot.
Just grab the heaviest one. He is really a real friend.
I stopped it and handed it the rope of the wooden box: "You take this."
The bear picked up the rope, and then I put the bag of spices on the wooden box, then I struggled to hold the cauldron upright and said, "That's it, let's go."
So, I walked in front holding the big pot upright, while the bear pulled the wooden box behind me, one person and one bear. This scene was so harmonious.
When I got to the place, I put the big pot flat on the edge of the pond, took out a piece of beef and a piece of mutton from the box and handed them to the bear, saying, "Thank you very much, this is the reward."
The bear roared and didn't answer. Instead, he scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look, which meant, 'I can't help you, so why are you so embarrassed?'
I patted its chest and said, "Without you, I might have had to make one more trip in the end. It saved me a lot of time. This small reward is nothing."
The bear happily picked up the beef and mutton, waved to me, and walked slowly into the forest.
After bidding farewell to the bear, I turned back, looked at the lake, and fell into another worry: the portal is not as big as a pot, how should I get it into the goblin territory?
