Vol 5 Chapter 57: Gradually

A roe (ao, yin) crawls under a thick elderberry. The white fur becomes mottled and dry under the raging winter. The long hair is knotted and hung on the body indiscriminately. There are no four corners on the top of the head. It has lost its luster after the previous oily shine.
　　 There is still a layer of pale white bones under its body, there is no trace of residual meat on it, and it is not a bit oily. Even the bone marrow dried up under its repeated chewing and sucking.
　　 squinted his eyes half-heartedly, the corners of his mouth squirmed, ruminating the little sour food in his stomach, and dreaming of the cruelty he caught in the deep forest last autumn. Ah, what a strong crusty head, with fat muscles and sweet blood, even its two eyeballs are full of juice and chewy when they bite.
　　 Thinking of this, its throat squirmed, and a bite of bone scum that had been regurgitated in its mouth for a long time was mixed with the saliva that had just poured out, and finally swallowed with difficulty.
　　 Then it lowered its head, picked among the bone piles underneath it for a while, and found a small rib with a small skeleton, bit it down, and held it in its mouth. Although the skeleton of these ribs is not difficult to chew, but after a winter of freezing, it becomes harder than stone. It needs to soften this rib and chew slowly.
　　 Not in a hurry, anyway, the winter is still long, it has enough patience and perseverance to accomplish this.
　　 The hoarse and dry bird cry was heard from the nest between the elderberry branches above his head, and the horn slapped his nose severely, spraying a cloud of white mist, and turned a deaf ear to the gray owl (chi)'s request for help.
　　 It is not that it is not enough friends, but because the food is extremely scarce this winter, it is also powerless. It doesn't mind letting the gray owl gnaw bones with it, provided that the gray owl's short mouth can crush these tough guys.
　　 When he thought of this, he couldn't help being thankful that he had only grown one body.
　　 is like the gray owl on top of the head, with one head and three bodies, which means that one mouth has to fill three stomachs! What a misfortune in this age of food shortage!
　　 "Ga..."
　　 The whisper of the gray owl came from the bird's nest again.
　　獓 raised his head in dissatisfaction, opened a pair of huge bull eyes, and looked at the dying bird. If it can't make it through this winter, the hornbill doesn't mind chewing on the feathered hornbeam--from this point of view, it starts to think that the hornbill has three bodies is a good thing.
　　 After all, the meat on the three bodies is always much more than the three heads, which is enough for it to chew for a long time.
　　Dangdang looked up with this hope, but was surprised to find that the gray owl was struggling to get up from the tree nest, spread its three pairs of wings, and jumped to fly. This makes the food in the bowl feel like flying away.
　　 "Moo..."
　　獓 screamed hard in his mouth.
　　 The gray owl lowered his head, revealing a pair of confused, cloudy eyes. Suspiciously, he discovered that the dead bird's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, and there was no sense of cunning and agility in the past.
　　 "Ga..."
　　Grey Owl lowered his head, and screamed again fiercely, his six wings flicked, slid out of the tree nest suddenly, and flew towards the edge of the silent forest.
　　 shook his head nervously.
　　 In the direction where the gray owl flew, there was a group of ferocious two-legged beasts, and the memory remaining in the bloodline told it that the farther away from that direction, the safer it was. But with the departure of the gray owl, he always felt a voice whispering in his ear, telling him that there is endless sweet food in that direction, which can make it strong again and spend this winter safely. .
Lu Ruan was initially dismissive of this invisible whisper, but for some reason, as the gray owl left, as the whisper continued to repeat, it gradually felt that the dry ribs in its mouth became more and more serious. It's getting tasteless and hateful.
　　 "Puff!"
　　 stubbornly finally spit out the rib, wagging his tail, and struggled to stand up.
　　 Under its heavy trampling, bones all over the ground made a continuous beeping sound of breaking, and the dry elderberry forest rushed under its huge body, begging for mercy.
　　獓 shook his head vigorously.
　　 When it raised its head again and looked in the direction where the gray owl was leaving, its eyes had lost their previous agility and were covered with a thick layer of gray cloud. Just like the three-legged bird that has long gone.

　　 "Huh! It's finally done!"
At the edge of the silent forest, a figure in a black robe with his head hidden in his hood heaved a sigh of relief, raised his head, and said to his companion in a relaxed tone: "The cruel head has already left...It is estimated that it will be another half day. You will be in Beta Town."
　　 "Can you hurry up?" His companion looked a little anxious: "The gap in the forest goods market is not big, and we urgently need the gap that hits the magic circle!"
"No." The first voice shook his head very simply, and refused: "Originally, it would take another month for the Kuroshio Current to really surge... We can only use magic to mobilize their emotions, but not really control them. It is impossible for those animals to exert their ability to surpass their bottom line."
　　 "Can't you quietly put a magic similar to bloodthirsty to it?" His companion asked unwillingly: "I think the rat fairy used similar magic to the mice."
　　 The first figure choked out angrily: "That's the Rat Fairy, and he is commanding mice! I'm not a Ruthless Fairy, I can't command that kind of beast!"
After a pause, he asked suspiciously: "I remember that those mice led some big guys over... For example, the nest of giant hills in the forest, and the old worm in the swamp... Could they still Isn't it enough to widen that gap?"
"There is also a chisel tooth~EbookFREE.me~ We also led the chisel tooth to excavate an ancient tomb and replaced it with a larger mace and a real steel shield! "His companion sighed, his voice a little bleak: "But it's not enough... not enough."
"The nest of hill giants spent more time fighting on their own than attacking the magic barrier, and the old worm, with such a huge skeleton long in the sky, rotten all over! Except for a little epidemic cloud. , It’s useless... It feels like if it lowers its head and rushes into the battle, the possibility of its skull breaking is higher than the possibility of breaking the battle."
　　 Hearing the words, the first figure sighed and felt sad.
　　 For a long time, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked softly: "Can't you let that guy help expand the results? Since he has helped the Kuroshio open the gap... he can do it more thoroughly."
"Quiet!" The companion raised his index finger to stop him from continuing to talk nonsense, and then looked around, before explaining: "It's not unwilling, really can't... open a small mouth, and then the beasts will follow, and the small mouth becomes a big mouth , You can erase the traces of the small mouth. If you open a big mouth directly, and the herd will have a way into the town, who wants to desperately expand that mouth?"
　　 "At that time, the traces will not be erased, and it is not just some magical creatures that die."
