The next day, the bearded man with two huge dark circles under his eyes brought Dean his breakfast.
As soon as the two of them met, he looked at the refreshed Dean and couldn't help but frown suspiciously.
"Didn't you hear any strange noise last night?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made two gestures in the air, looking like he was speechless. It seemed that the long night yesterday had left a deep psychological shadow on him.
Of course Dean knew what the bearded guy was talking about, he even knew who did it, but this was obviously not the right place to confess.
So Dean thought for a while and said sincerely: "I didn't hear that. Maybe I'm sleeping better."
"What happened?"
Seeing the innocent expression on the face of the man in front of him, the bearded man was speechless and choked.
The phrase "It's better to sleep" was played repeatedly in his ears, making him unable to speak.
"……nothing."
The bearded man smirked, "Forget it if you didn't hear it."
Dean didn't seem too interested. After hearing his reply, he actually stopped asking.
The bearded man left the tent with a dazed look on his face, and couldn't help but think about it as he walked.
Are all young people today so big-hearted?
What was that movement last night? Even a timid monster can scare him to death, but he can still sleep. Dean said that he just "sleeps better", which is really too modest.
Princess and the Pea could cry with envy after listening to such a high quality of sleep.
The beard is incredible.
It is outrageous that such an unwary young man would dare to travel thousands of miles to visit friends in a place like Gaia's Sea of Trees.
Is he so confident about the caravan's defense?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Kana carrying a kettle, passing by him and walking towards the tent. It seemed that she had specifically asked for hot water. His heart felt as if he was soaking in sour water, and he exerted a little force. , can squeeze out soup.
He later realized that people didn't seem to need to guard themselves.
This demon pet was solved directly.
It's a bit troublesome. Isn't it much more sensitive than the caravan group?
No wonder this young master can sit back and relax.
Oh, not self-reliant at all!
The bearded man showed an expression as if he had eaten ten lemons in one breath, and walked heavily into the distance.
Kana, who was holding the kettle, turned her head and felt a sour smell in the air. She sniffed and couldn't help but frown in confusion.
After breakfast time, the caravan became active again. Although they had just experienced a frightening night last night, for the caravan with precious time, it was obvious that they did not have much time to waste on this matter.
The group quickly packed up and continued heading towards their destination.
Dean was sitting where he was yesterday with his eyes closed and concentrating. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from behind, bringing a meaty melon and fruit smell to the tip of his nose.
The strange smell made Dean couldn't help looking for the smell and looked back.
"Do you smell it?"
The bearded man caught Dean's abnormality with his peripheral vision, turned his head and pretended to be profound: "Counting the time, it will almost be today..."
After saying that, he reached for the cargo box. After groping for a while, he took one out of the scattered small box and handed it to Dean.
"Eat one and try it."
It was hard to refuse the hospitality, so Dean gave in. After learning that these scattered fruits were specially set aside for the caravan members, he accepted them.
Neither Xiaolan nor the Akaman fish reacted. He knew that the fruit should have no negative impact on him, so he took a bite.
The taste is really complex.
At least Dean had never eaten such a weird fruit on Blue Star.
It's clearly a fruit, but when you bite into it, it feels like eating pork belly. It has a salty and sweet meaty aroma.
Dean was immediately shocked, feeling like his taste buds had been subverted.
It's not unpalatable, but this meaty fruit, just like fresh meat mooncakes, is something he can't accept.
Fortunately, the fruit wasn't particularly big, so he broke off half of it and gave it to Kana. The two of them frowned. Although they didn't like it very much, they didn't waste the food.
The bearded man continued: "The elves have a huge demand for food. After all, they exercise a lot every day, and they have to raise domesticated monsters. If you add up the little bits and pieces, the consumption will be even greater. , and this race is particularly picky and would rather go hungry than give in to food that doesn’t suit their taste!”
"You should know that in an environment like the forest, it is difficult to plant crops on a large area, so these elves occasionally trade with caravans and import some food from the outside world."
He weighed the "sweet fruit" in his hand and showed it to Dean.
"You may not be used to it, or you may not be able to understand this taste, but these strange fruits are all collected with great difficulty by us based on the elves' recipes. They are extremely rare edible crops, and even those who know them are There are very few people, let alone food.”
"Get it to the elves and you'll definitely get a good price."
After saying that, he took a bite of the fruit that was filled with the aroma of meat, and his facial features instantly twisted together.
When the bearded man calmed down, he seemed to be trying to divert his attention, and sighed with a bit of regret: "I thought I would see your Shadow Doll make a move today, but up to now, not even a single monster has been seen. No……"
He showed a wise expression and a look of determination.
"You can tell by looking at this that something must have happened last night, otherwise it wouldn't be so quiet."
Hearing him mention this topic, Dean's heart moved and he took the initiative to inquire, "What happened last night?"
The bearded man remembered the topic of "sleeping well" again. He paused and then said: "Last night, the Witch's House fought with the monsters in the core area."
"Why did the fight suddenly start?"
Dean acted as if he was hearing the news for the first time.
"That's not something we can know."
"But it wouldn't be strange for a monster like this to fight anyone."
The bearded old god said: "The Witch's House is not easy to mess with. The monsters in the core area of the Gaia Sea of Trees are also big guys. In front of them, we little people are like ants in the Niebo River. Worth mentioning.”
"So there are some things that we shouldn't know, so it's okay not to know."
"In a confrontation of this level, the weak only deserve to survive in the cracks."
"Oh, probably not you."
There was something strange in his words.
"But if you sleep well, they won't be able to disturb you even if they are fighting fiercely."
After teasing Dean, the bearded man leaned back and sighed with a leisurely expression: "It's great that there is no World of Warcraft."
Dean couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't think so.
Kana looked at the two people who were sighing at the same time, but with completely opposite emotions, and tilted her head.
