Chapter 115 Girl in the Clouds!
Watching the old bear rubbing against the tree for a while, Chen Jue understood a lot about the principles of bear-shaped power.
After it slowly walked away, probably going out to look for food, Chen Jue scratched the bark of the tall tree with his fingers and slowly slid down to the ground.
After taking a look at the foggy forest and observing the direction from which the sunlight was shining, Chen Jue went in the opposite direction of the black bear, passing through the forest and arriving at the last tributary of the Dulong River in the territory of Zhonghuajia.
"Have we walked so far?" Chen Jue took out his mobile phone and glanced at the offline map. He found that his current location was more than 200 kilometers away from Wazhai.
If I walked a little further, I would probably cross the border, so I had to give up the idea of moving forward. I scooped up some water from the clear green river and washed my face and cleaned the secretions from the corners of my eyes.
By the way, I practiced three new hard skills for a while to dispel the cold I got in the dense forest. After I felt warm all over, I took out compressed biscuits and functional drinks for breakfast.
The river in front of him was not as shallow as before, and Chen Jue did not dare to make a fire easily. He went down to the river to catch a few white fish to roast, for fear of setting the mountain on fire. He could only eat some dry food on the spot.
After eating, he rested for a while. His stomach and intestines moved faster to digest food and he felt that nothing was wrong. Then Chen Jue walked back along the river for more than two hours.
Until the Z- shaped river bend, Chen Jue saw several strange creatures eating grass, drinking water and having fun with each other by the river.
They are covered in black and gray fur, are less than two meters long and no more than one meter tall. The horns on their heads don't look like those of a deer, their hooves are like those of a cow but they are not a cow, their heads are like those of a sheep but they are not a sheep, their tails are like those of a donkey but they are not a donkey, and their jumping and running postures are extremely strange!
Chen Jue recognized the origins of these animals at a glance. This is a wild animal called the Serow, a national second-level protected animal, which is often referred to as the "four-legged beast". When he accompanied Wang Biao to visit the scenic spot before, Chen Jue had seen the information of this serow on the introduction board.
But the information is in the form of pictures and texts, which is dead, and there is no way to see their vivid appearance.
After observing these living serows up close, Chen Jue suddenly discovered that the shadow of the serow was hidden in the movement of the girl with the basket on her back as she left!
"No wonder I couldn't recognize him, it turns out he learned the movements of a weird beast suddenly realized something, and his sight was attracted by the cry of a monkey, and he glanced at the forest on the other side of the river.
On the tall trees in the forest, there was a group of monkeys with red faces, short tails, long hair and real Peking Opera looks playing in the morning.
This is another unique kind of macaque in Gongshan, called the short-tailed macaque. It has a stocky, short and fat body, looks naive, and hunched over, a bit like a hairy old man.
However, what is most eye-catching is not their size, but the fact that one of the more robust short-tailed monkeys is wearing a wreath of wild flowers on his head!
"Monkeys can make wreaths?" Chen was curious and wanted to observe closely. So he stepped back with his backpack on his back, then suddenly accelerated and jumped. His figure flew in the air like a swallow flying over a river, and he jumped more than ten meters!
He directly crossed the river in front of him, which was more than ten meters wide!
Such a violent jump would cause an extremely loud noise when landing, which would easily scare away the creatures in the mountains.
However, since Chen Jue had awakened the bonus of [Light as a Swallow] in his Flying Over Eaves and Walking on Walls skill, and had learned some of the true meaning of the silent cat steps from observing the tiger form, the moment his feet landed on the ground, it was as if he was stepping on cotton candy, and he landed smoothly and silently in the pile of weeds on the opposite side of the river without causing much noise.
If seen by an outsider, people would probably think that Chen Jue was not wearing boots, but a pair of tiger paw pads underneath!
As for the cute short-tailed monkeys, when they saw Chen Jue, a human with a special temperament, they all cried happily. They flew down from the mountains and forests, and surrounded him one by one, grabbing and touching him. They were more enthusiastic than the hooded leaf monkeys that Chen Jue had met before!
“They’re not afraid of people?” Chen Jue found it interesting and thought these short-tailed monkeys were cute and silly, so he touched their heads one by one.
But when he stretched out his hand to the short-tailed monkey wearing the wreath, a clear and pleasant female voice came from behind Chen Jue: "That is the wreath I made. It is a birthday present for the little monkey. You'd better not touch it, or it will be angry!"
These words made Chen Jue's outstretched hand suddenly freeze in mid-air. With his current martial arts training and reaction senses, he didn't even notice that a person suddenly appeared behind him!
He turned around with a look of astonishment and saw a girl wearing a colorful striped robe and carrying a basket around her neck, who was also looking at Chen Jue with a scrutinizing gaze.
"It's you!"
Such a close meeting finally allowed Chen Jue to see the facial features of the girl carrying the basket clearly.
I saw that the other person had soft black hair draped over her shoulders, a fair and tender face with a faint pink, slender eyebrows, a delicate nose and a small mouth, and a pair of bright eyes that seemed to contain infinite agility.
The mountain breeze in the early morning lifted her bangs, revealing a cloud-like light blue pattern. The light golden sunlight shining on her body made her look even more holy.
With such an otherworldly and outstanding appearance, coupled with the gurgling green river beside her, the snow-capped peaks in the distance, the vast forest on one side, and the naive macaques flocking around her, she is like a goddess walking out of nature, making it impossible for people to have the slightest thought of blasphemy!
"May I have your name?"
"Why did you go to such a remote place alone?"
"Are you one of those hikers mentioned on the Internet?"
Seeing that Chen Jue was staring at her for a long time without saying anything, the girl with the basket on her back asked with her red lips while comforting the monkeys beside her.
When asked this by the other party, Chen Jue's thoughts, which had been paused, suddenly came to their senses.
The momentary daze just now was not due to his pig-like behavior, but because the girl in the basket had a kind of wonderful feeling similar to that of holding a pill and breathing like a fetus, blending into nature. Chen Jue was so caught off guard that he was actually obsessed with it.
Chen Jue had only caught a glimpse of it from across the river which was more than 20 meters away, but he did not notice it carefully.
Now that he was so close to her, Chen Jue discovered that the Dulong girl in front of him was different!
The other person's heartbeat and breathing were so steady that they seemed inaudible. If Chen Jue had not been concentrating and sensing carefully, he would not have detected a very faint fluctuation of qi and blood from the other person.
In addition, the girl opened her mouth slightly when she asked the question just now. With Chen Jue's visual capture ability, he could naturally see the other's forty smooth and snow-white teeth clearly!
"Forty teeth! The ability to change the pulp and replace the teeth?"
"The blood and energy in her body have gathered together, and she has actually formed a golden elixir? No! It doesn't seem to be the case!"
"This era! In such a remote and primitive place, there actually exist such masters!" Chen Jue felt a little unbelievable, with a myriad of thoughts and a turbulent heart.
However, Chen Jue himself is also an extraordinary person who has awakened the panel. Coupled with the experience of training in the mountains and forests during this period, the contact with all living things, and the blessing of the perfect boy's skills, his soul has returned to the purity and innocence of a newborn baby.
Soon Chen Jue suppressed these complicated thoughts and answered the other party's question: "My name is Chen Jue, I am an ordinary person who practices martial arts, not one of those hikers who cause trouble everywhere! We met once by the river last time, do you remember? By the way, little sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Yun, and everyone in the village calls me Little Sister Yun. You can call me Little Sister Yun too!"
"Of course I remember you! You have the same comfortable scent as me! The little monkeys said you are a very nice person and you fed them biscuits yesterday. The spotted tiger said you took it to the village outside for a big meal, and the big black bear said you gave it honey last night. They are not afraid of you and they all want to play with you and say you are a good person." The girl with the basket on her back smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed into crescents.
The pure innocence and innate feeling of fetal breath emanating from Chen Jue made the other party feel particularly close to him.
It’s like meeting a natural soulmate!
Yun Xiaomei, who grew up in the village and the mountains with the wild elves, also met a strange foreigner like Chen Jue for the first time.
"Your name is Yun Xiaomei?"
"Wait... little monkey? Tiger? Black bear? You said I'm a good person?"
"Can you communicate directly with these animals???" Chen Jue muttered twice, and soon came to his senses, his expression began to become extremely strange.
Then he took out a bag of popcorn-like snacks from his backpack and began to feed the surrounding monkeys little by little. He squatted down, hugged them to the east and to the right, and whispered something like the monkeys.
Chen Jue knew that this strange Dulong girl in front of him should be like the natural tiger in the legend mentioned by Wang Biao, which only appears once every few hundred years among the Dulong people!
