But the next moment, the big yellow dog suffered.
There was only a clicking sound. Lu Li's leg was fine, but a few of its canine teeth were broken. Lu Li grabbed his neck flesh with his backhand, and he couldn't help but say, "root, root, root!" ' cried out.
"Brother, please show mercy!"
At this moment, a call suddenly came from the direction of the house, and immediately after, an unkempt little boy ran towards Lu Li with bare feet.
Lu Li frowned and threw the big yellow dog aside. The big yellow dog immediately ran towards the little boy.
The little boy rubbed the big yellow dog's head and looked at Lu Li from a distance, "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't take a good look at the big yellow dog. Are you okay?"
Lu Li smiled and said, "It's okay."
Hearing this, the child immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lu Li with curiosity in his eyes, and asked where Lu Li came from. Lu Li said he was just walking around and accidentally came here, and took the opportunity to ask him about Andu City.
But it is a pity that this child does not know where Andu City is.
Lu Li felt slightly disappointed, and then asked if there were any adults in his family. The child suddenly became wary, and finally said that he had a grandfather, but he went to the mountains to collect herbs half a month ago and never came back.
He once took Rhubarb into the mountains to look for him, but in the end he was not found. Instead, he was targeted by a wild wolf. Fortunately, Rhubarb fought hard and managed to save his life.
At this point, the boy suddenly said with hope: "Brother, you can even catch Dahuang, you must be very powerful. How about you take me in to find grandpa? He might know where Anducheng is."
Lu Li felt a little hesitant, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"The adventure mission is to help the child find his grandfather. There is no time limit. If you complete it, you will get the talent 'Level 1 Wisdom'. With this talent, you can distinguish whether the people within your sight are outsiders."
talent?
Hearing these two words, Lu Li couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
Before he came in, he heard Yu Wenwen say that there are many special talent rewards here that can improve his self-protection ability. Unexpectedly, he encountered them here.
Moreover, he really needs someone to help him guide the way. Among the vast mountains, only this boy's grandfather is the most suitable person.
Thinking of this, Lu Li nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you. However, I don't have much time. I can only accompany you into the mountains for two days at most. If you can't find it, I will leave."
"Two days?"
The child picked at his fingers, slightly disappointed, but quickly calmed down, "Okay! Thank you, big brother."
Afterwards, the child went home to tidy up, put on a pair of tattered straw sandals, and took Lu Li on a path heading west. Dahuang walked at the front, looking back at the child from time to time.
The path didn't look like it was often traveled by people. Both sides were covered with lush silk thatch, and there were some branches blocking the road from time to time.
The child was worried that Lu Li would not adapt, so he took off the hatchet from his waist to clear the way, but was stopped by Lu Li, "It's important to hurry, don't bother."
"okay."
When the child heard this, he put the hatchet back on his waist and started to trot after Dahuang.
Lu Li quickly followed behind, and before long, they followed the path at the foot of the mountain and walked into a jungle.
At the beginning, the vegetation was sparse and the walking was very easy. But after walking seven or eight miles, bushes and thorns began to appear inside, and the speed began to slow down.
Lu Li frowned, "This is the wrong direction."
The child wondered, "Why? Dahuang is very familiar with grandpa's breath, so it shouldn't be wrong?"
Lu Li pointed at the thorns in front of him, "The thorns here are so dense that it is difficult to see them all at a glance, and it is impossible to pass normally. Unless your grandfather is a bird, there is no way he could have walked this way."
"As for Rhubarb... maybe it did sense that your grandfather was on the opposite side of the thorn forest, but because its intelligence was not activated, it would not choose the best route."
As he spoke, Lu Li pointed to the right, "Let's go this way and avoid this thorn forest."
"good."
Hearing this, the child greeted Lu Huang and followed Lu Li to the other side.
The big yellow dog, on the other hand, glanced in the direction of the thorn forest, as if he didn't want to leave. It wasn't until the child called out again that he followed reluctantly.
What Lu Li didn't know was that in the thickest part of the thorn forest in front of him, there lay a large spotted python out of a bucket. It was motionless and seemed to be sleeping.
It's a good thing that he didn't go through all the obstacles, otherwise the situation might be a little bad.
This thorn forest was at least five or six miles in radius. Lu Li walked along the edge of the thorn forest for a long time before he reached the halfway point.
But just when he was about to move forward, he accidentally noticed some white leaves in the ravine at the foot of the hillside on the right. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that they had lost moisture after being chopped by someone.
Someone passed by below?
Lu Li had gone into the mountains a lot when he was a child, so he was most familiar with this kind of situation. Although it couldn't be seen clearly from a distance, he could deduce with a little thought that the road below was either man-made or had been hit by wild animals.
"Brother, why aren't you leaving?" Dahuang was already walking ahead. Seeing Lu Li stop, the little boy couldn't help but ask.
"Besides your grandfather, is there anyone else in your village?" Lu Li asked, looking at the ravine below.
"No, grandpa said that when I was very young, many wild beasts suddenly came out of Dongshan. Most of the people in the village died at that time, including my parents. Later, some of the survivors also died in Lu They moved away one after another, and grandpa couldn't bear to leave, so he took me to stay. Now grandpa and I are the only ones left in the village... Dahuang, come back!"
As the child spoke, he realized that Dahuang had disappeared and hurriedly called out.
"Understood, I'll go take a look down there. Just wait here and don't leave. If I find anything, I'll call you down." Lu Li pointed at the ravine below.
The child nodded and shouted again in the direction where Dahuang disappeared.
Lu Li said nothing more and walked cautiously towards the ravine, holding on to the branches of the shrubs nearby.
After a while, he came to the ravine and took a closer look. He immediately discovered that the broken branches were very flat. At first glance, it seemed that they had been cut out with a knife and not brutally hit by something.
Based on this discovery and combined with Xiaotong's statement, it seems that Xiaotong's grandfather probably walked along this ravine.
He walked a few steps further and found a clear footprint on the sand. He was even more sure that his inference was correct and immediately called the child to come down.
The child carefully slid down to the bottom, then looked up at the top of the slope and said, "Brother, the rhubarb seems to be missing. It has a very sharp nose. Are we going in the wrong direction?"
The direction of the ravine in front of us changed here, going to the right. However, the thorn forest on the top of the mountain went straight forward. After going around, it even went to the left.
These are obviously two completely different directions.
Hearing the child's words, Lu Li couldn't help but frown. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this big yellow dog.
