Bounty Hunter

After living for so many years, Kong Que experienced for the first time the feeling of not knowing what expression to put on.

He froze his fingers, trying to ignore the hard yet soft, dry but bloody touch of the bark in his palm, his Adam's apple moved, and said: "What I want is the wood you condensed with your strength, not your..." .

Di Chu thought that it was his fault that Kong Que made two trips in vain by creating a valley, so now he is responsive to Kong Que's request. On the skin: "Here."

The fingertips of the two made brief contact, and Kong Que reflexively retracted his fingers, trying to retain the warmth, but he missed the fingertips, and instead gripped the bark tightly.

Blood immediately smeared his palm.

Kong Que: "..."

He silently put down his lunch box, got up and walked back to the camp. After a few minutes, he returned to the stone with a small medicine box.

Dichu looked at him suspiciously.

Isn’t the wood given, why did it come back again?

"The wound on your back must be bandaged, otherwise it will become infected and inflamed." Kong Que explained.

Di Chu stopped chewing the meatloaf, turned his back and lifted his clothes.His back was still covered with tree grains, and there was no sign of injury at all except that the color of the tree grains under the spine became slightly lighter.

"This kind of minor injury can be healed by rotating the force, and there is no need to bandage it." He put down his clothes, swallowed the meatloaf and explained, and added a little uncomfortable after a pause, "Thank you."

Kong Que saw the condition of his back clearly, and was amazed at his recovery ability and control over his strength. Seeing his indifferent appearance, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

What kind of growth experience should make the teenager so indifferent to his physical condition.

"It's better to have a look." He unconsciously softened his tone and sat beside Di Chu, "I only need a piece of wood, but you gave me an extra piece of bark. I have to give you something back, or I won't feel at ease."

Di Chu: "Then give me back the bark."

Kong Que: "..."

He resolutely gave up the roundabout way: "You are the hunter I hired now, and I have to be responsible for your health."

Di Chu frowned, thinking that his employer was troublesome, and his words were one and the same, but feeling his kindness, he honestly turned his back on him.

Kong Que raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, breathed out lightly, put the box aside and opened it, concentrating on his thoughts, stretched out his hand and slowly lifted the hem of his clothes.

At this time, it was almost dark, the light in the forest was dim, and the grain of the bark was a little unclear, so he had to get closer to see it.

A warm fragrance like sunshine, mixed with the thick and moist fragrance of trees floated faintly. Kong Que was stunned for a moment, looked at his heart that suddenly started to heat up, and then at the young man's thin back, curling up his fingers.

Totem reacted, after smelling the boy.

why?

Countless conjectures appeared in his mind in an instant, and he quickly suppressed them all. He moved his fingers and touched the lighter-colored bark lines. He was attracted by the warm touch and couldn't help rubbing it a few times.

Di Chu suddenly trembled, he straightened his waist to avoid his hand, and turned to stare at him: "What are you doing!"

Kong Que was stunned for a moment, inexplicably seeing a hint of embarrassment from the young man's fierce expression, his voice unconsciously tinged with a smile: "Itchy?"

Di Chu tore off his clothes and ignored him.

Although the human has become less annoying, the annoyance is real.As long as he could remember, he had never seen a more annoying human being than Kong Que. He always babbled a lot, and made some actions that were not annoying but not flattering. His attitude was good for a while and not for a while. OK, confusing.

Weird.

"I'm full, see you tomorrow." He decided to keep a distance from the other party.

Seeing that he was about to run again, Kong Que didn't stop him, but raised his voice and asked, "Where do you sleep at night?"

"In the woods." Di Chu's voice floated from afar, and when his figure was about to disappear in the forest, he stopped suddenly and turned around to ask, "Is the main mission target of your investigation this time, unmutated ancient plants?"

Kong Que's heart moved, he nodded, and added: "In addition to ancient plants, ancient organisms are also my research targets."

Di Chu nodded to express his understanding, and fled away directly.

The rich young man who was always paying attention to this side finally heard a little bit of the conversation between Kong Que and Di Chu, and snorted softly: "I asked this question, as if he was sure to help Mr. find ancient plants and ancient creatures. Physical ability is generally not good."

Most of the pig race mutants have a good sense of smell, which is why the rich boy was temporarily seconded.In the complex mountain forest, a person with a good sense of smell in the team can avoid many troubles.

His voice was not low, and everyone in the camp heard it.

Huang Tao noticed that after these words fell, the gentleman who was still sitting on the rock not far away seemed to turn his head to this side, and couldn't help lowering his head and covering his face.

It's over, Mr. hates others to "follow" him the most. This meeting must have discovered something, and I am afraid that the mood will turn bad again.

……

That night, Di Chu turned Nei Shan upside down, and he also made some small changes to several barriers.

After dawn, Di Chu stepped on the time when the breakfast takeaway was delivered, and appeared five meters away from the camp.

Several half-demons who raised their vigilance and vowed to find out about Di Chu before he came back were helpless. They had to admit that they were so useless that they couldn't even detect the breath of an F-rank hunter, and their self-confidence was shattered.

"Don't worry, he's too good." Kong Que left the camp with two breakfasts and a cage of small meat buns, before leaving without beginning or end.

All the half-demons: "???"

Sir, you have changed, you used to not boast.

……

After receiving the breakfast, Di Chu took out two bird eggs and stuffed them into Kong Que's hands.

Kong Que was used to his equalizing diplomacy, picked up the egg and looked at it, his expression changed slightly: "This is..."

"I picked it up in the woods." Di Chu answered quickly, and after the answer, he stuffed a small meat bun into his mouth, stuffing his mouth full, saying "I'm very busy, so don't ask me if you have any questions." look.

Kong Que suppressed his excitement and looked at his expression carefully. Seeing that his eyes were dodging, his body was tense, and he looked secretly wary of something, he suddenly lost his inquisitive thoughts, and only carefully put away the gift, saying: "Thank you, I like it very much."

Di Chu breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his body, swallowed the buns, hesitated for a moment and said, "Be nice to them."

He found this bird's egg from the inner mountain, and the parents were kingfishers that were more common before the end of the world.He thought that Kong Que liked birds and half-demons so much, and maybe he would also like birds, so he found a nest of eggs that had lost his mother, and picked out these two alive ones from a bunch of bad guys.

It can be regarded as compensation for Kong Que's two trips in vain.

"The country has clear breeding standards for paleontology, and they won't suffer." Kong Que explained, looking at his face and asking, "Don't you hate birds? Why..."

"Hating it doesn't mean you want to hurt their lives..." Di Chu knew what he wanted to ask, bowed his head and said something his teacher often said to him, "All living beings are equal, as long as the other party doesn't do evil, I can't hurt them... Besides It's very pitiful for them to leave their parents."

Kong Que looked at his drooping and curly eyelashes, as if a warm wave was slowly swaying in his heart.

The more he got to know him, the more he felt that there was a very precious thing in the young man - the original intention.That is the most transparent and clean part of human nature, and many people lose it as they go along, including him.

"Thank you." He didn't know what he was thanking, but he suddenly wanted to touch the top of the boy's head, but he finally held back, didn't continue to eat breakfast, got up and said, "The mission will start in half an hour, I'll go to Set them up."

Di Chu nodded, and continued to stuff the small meat buns into his mouth.

……

After breakfast, the investigation began. Before departure, Di Chu and the team members had a disagreement about which direction to go. To be precise, Di Chu and the rich young man had a disagreement.

"The video sent back by the patrol plane shows that the valley is on the left side of the mountain, and there is also the smell of water over there. We should go up the mountain from the left side." The rich young man put on a professional posture.

Di Chu's words were short and his attitude was tough: "Go to the right."

"Sir, he is misleading us!" The rich young man complained to Kong Que with a slightly coquettish tone.

The other half-demons remained silent. They belonged to the husband, and they would never stand indiscriminately if the husband did not speak.

The rich boy also knew that he couldn't get supporters in the team, so he approached Kong Que directly.

Kong Que didn't look at him, and said, "Go to the right, Di Chu will lead the way."

Di Chu immediately turned and walked to the right, Kong Que took a step behind, Huang Tao and Cheng Xiu followed in the third group, and the rest of them tacitly dispersed around them to protect them.

In the end, only the rich young man was left in the camp. Seeing the crowd walking farther and farther away, he couldn't believe it, he gasped heavily in anger, and chased after him.

……

It was very difficult to walk in the forest. In order to take care of Kong Que, he stopped after taking two steps and carefully observed and recorded a certain plant. Everyone slowed down very slowly.

When he came to a steep slope, Di Chu suddenly stopped and signaled to the slope: "It smells like strange plants."

The rich young man frowned, hurriedly sniffed over there, and retorted: "Nonsense, I didn't smell anything, and I said it was wrong to go this way, so stop talking nonsense and waste everyone's time."

Di Chu ignored him and only looked at Kong Que.

Kong Que looked at the steep slope, and motioned for everyone to find a way.

"Don't be so troublesome." Di Chu walked to him, moved his right hand slightly, and a big knife appeared in the palm of his hand.

The rich boy was shocked: "What are you doing! You can't use force in the mountains, it will damage the environment!"

His voice was very high-pitched, and everyone's eardrums hurt when he raised his voice. Kong Que frowned indistinctly, and said, "Be quiet, be careful not to disturb the surrounding animals."

The rich boy blushed and shut up, full of unwillingness.

Dichu was being targeted by the rich young man all the way, and he was almost annoyed by him. When he saw Kong Que's words, he made the young man quiet. He glanced at him approvingly and put the knife on the ground. The wooden ladder at the top appeared out of thin air, went up layer by layer, and finally stopped firmly at the top of the slope.

He put away the knife and said, "Go up."

Kong Que... Kong Que suddenly felt that Di Chu's movement of withdrawing the saber was a bit cool.

All the half-demons stared blankly at the wooden ladder, and then turned their heads to look at the only plant-type hunter in the team.

The hunter was a middle-aged man, his face was reddened by everyone, and he explained: "I, I am a vine. I, I can't do this kind of work of making stairs."

"Vines can also build ladders, just weave them together, don't deny yourself easily, building ladders is not difficult, you can succeed if you practice more." Di Chu turned back to encourage.It's mission time, and he doesn't skimp on patience with his employer and his people.

Kong Que nodded in agreement: "Di Chu is right, Qin Wen, you have been slack lately."

Middle-aged hunter Qin Wen: "..." I hate it.
