Chapter 2902 Pretending to Be Clumsy

My first reaction was - beast?

But I soon realized that this was the Demon Realm, not the Zephyr Continent. The forest here was also a blank space that I didn’t know about. I didn’t know whether there were birds flying in it or animals roaming around.

Thinking of this, I suddenly became alert and gently placed Xi Lan's demon knife on my knees, waiting for the other party to show up.

If the opponent is a ferocious beast, I will not hesitate to draw my sword towards him, not to kill the enemy, but to protect myself.

Just when I was always vigilant, the soft rustling suddenly stopped, right behind the green wall made of branches and leaves two meters away from me.

I didn't move, didn't open my eyes, and didn't even activate the magic wave. I just sat quietly, relying on the sense of breath I had honed over the years to lock the other person's position and observe everything around me.

If the other party is a ferocious beast, it must be crouching on the ground at this moment and quietly observing me, observing whether I am asleep, observing whether there is anything around me that can endanger its life, observing whether there are any deadly traps around me. .

Often the hungry beast at this time is the quietest, even if it is described as quiet as a virgin, it is not an exaggeration.

But once it realizes that there is no unit that can cause life-threatening danger to it, it is not as simple as moving like a rabbit, but moving like a flood or a landslide.

As the saying goes, if you don't move, you will be killed with one strike, that's it.

However, at the moment when stillness and movement change, strong murderous intent will be released. This process will last about two seconds.

These two seconds are a battle between life and death. If you grasp it, you will live. If you cannot grasp it, you will die.

It's that simple, it's that direct.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the whole world seemed to be quiet. I snored lightly while leaning against the tree, holding the handle of the knife tightly, pretending to take a nap, and being ready to attack at any time.

However, at this highly tense moment, a very contradictory sound sounded slowly and drifted into my ears. It was the snoring of a small hunting dog.

I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth. This little hunting dog lives so freely. It doesn't care about the surrounding atmosphere at all. It can come when it wants, eat when it wants, sleep when it wants, and it is not afraid of being bitten by the monsters living in this forest. have eaten?

Just when I was worried about it, the rustling sound sounded again. This time, it was not the sound of trampling fallen leaves on the lawn, but the sound of parting the green wall.

It is finally coming.

The closed eyelids opened a small slit at the moment the sound sounded. Through the slit, I saw a robed monster standing there one meter away from me, quietly sizing me up.

etc!

Monster in robe?

I focused my gaze on the head of the robed monster and observed it carefully. After a few seconds, my high heart dropped slightly, but at the same time, my wariness rose again.

The person one meter away from me is not a robed monster, but a human being. She is a woman wearing a blue robe, a sky blue skirt, and brown boots. As for whether she is a woman or a girl, I can’t tell for the time being, because she Her dress is too conservative, and her appearance is neither mature nor childish.

This woman walked up to me with light steps. She leaned over and looked at me for a moment. During this period, I could be said to be on full alert. As long as this woman made the slightest move, I would draw my sword. Get up and defeat her first.

Fortunately, this woman didn't do anything strange. She just looked at me curiously. After a moment, she turned around, bent her waist, and stretched her arms to pick up the sleeping puppy on the ground.

The little hound was instantly awakened by Destiny's neck being pinched. It looked around blankly at first. After seeing the person holding it clearly, instead of panicking, it let out a coquettish and affectionate cry.

It seems that this woman is the owner of the beagle.

I thought to myself.

The woman in blue robe was not moved by the little hunting dog's coquettishness. Instead, she brought it in front of her and scolded it fiercely.

However, the little hound seemed to be accustomed to being scolded, and after barking twice, he continued to act cute.

Cute animals are like this. No matter how big a mistake they make, they can be forgiven. The reason is very simple - cuteness is justice.

Apparently, this little terrier also falls into this category.

When it used coquettishness and cuteness to attack the woman again, the blue-robed woman's psychological defense was finally broken. She held the little hound in her arms affectionately and rubbed the dog's head vigorously.

The little hound was so rubbed that he whimpered, but was too embarrassed to dodge. After all, running up to a stranger alone was both dangerous and wrong. Fortunately, the stranger in front of him was not very hungry, and he didn't drool over him. It is caught, plucked, skinned, and roasted raw.

ah! Praise the great will!

I guess, at this moment, the little hound must be thinking so in his heart.

The woman in blue robe held the little puppy tightly in her arms, and then looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze. After a moment, her pretty voice sounded: "You're not sleeping, are you?"

Although I was exposed, I still didn't move because I didn't know whether the other party really knew that I was pretending to sleep, or if it was just a deception.

So, I continued to pretend to be asleep, as if I was really asleep.

"Don't you want to wake up?" The woman squatted down and looked at me. Her dark blue pupils bloomed with a pure halo. Although the halo was pure, for some reason, it gave me a dangerous feeling.

Like a dangerous cheetah.

After looking at me for a while, the woman slowly stood up and murmured: "Since you want to pretend to be asleep, then keep pretending. Anyway, without my guidance, it will be difficult for you to get out of this witch forest."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"etc!"

I finally couldn't hold it any longer, so I stood up slowly, leaning on the handle of the knife.

Just when I stood firm, a hot red magic missile hit me hard in the face.

I released the magic wave instantly, and at the moment when the magic missile was enveloped, I retracted the magic wave again.

Through a moment of perception, I knew that the magic value contained in this magic missile was not much. Even if I was hit by it, it would not hurt me. But as the saying goes: Only by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger can you live longer.

So, I decided to play weak.

Seeing the magic missiles flying towards me, I quickly pulled out the demon sword, held the handle with my right hand, and put my left hand on the back of the sword for weight-bearing purposes. At the same time, I pretended to use both arms to exert force, and pushed hard against the magic missiles.

With a booming sound, my body was blown away by the shock wave of the explosion—actually, I made an imperceptible backward jump due to the force of my feet.

The moment I landed, I tilted my feet and let my body fall freely. The next second, my whole body fell to the ground with my legs spread out.
