Chapter 72 The Man Staring into the Abyss
It’s evening.
Hua Mi went to the greenhouse to take care of the flower fields.
Once a day in the morning and once in the evening has become a routine.
The three batches of Perak flowers all grew very well and there were no problems during the growth process, which shows that he is qualified as a flower farmer.
"Do you want to spend the night here tonight?"
The main reason is that the beehives are placed here, and he always feels uneasy going back alone.
After thinking about leaving the greenhouse, I had just walked a few steps.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew towards him from a distance.
Hua Mi's heart suddenly jumped and she took a step back.
He saw the black shadow drawing a parabola in the air and landing in front of him with a "bang".
Taking a closer look, it was a large beast that looked like a black panther, but it had two tails and six legs. Its muscles showed wild strength, and its fur was shiny black.
At this time, he was lying motionless on the ground, his neck was twisted at an unnatural angle, and his fangs were bared. He was obviously dead.
Hua Mi looked warily towards the direction where the corpse was flying.
Under the weak sunset light, he saw something looking behind a big tree not far away.
Hua Mi touched the storage ring and found the scroll recording the "Great Mental Idiot Technique" in her hand.
At the same time, he opened the door of the greenhouse, and a swarm of bees instantly poured out and surrounded him.
He controlled the scout bee to fly that way.
Once the scout bee is in place, connect to its senses.
Close your eyes.
There is a figure hidden behind the big tree.
Hua Mi could tell at a glance that he was not human.
He was very tall, probably over two meters tall. He was wearing a black cloth robe that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. He looked a bit clumsy and funny.
There is a black turban wrapped around his head, his face is yellow-green, and his face is thinner and longer than a horse's face, which makes his facial features very compact.
His breathing was rapid, perhaps three times the human rate.
And there is a very strong ink-like smell on him.
The smell was so overwhelming that Hua Mi immediately cut off the sensory connection with the scout bees.
At the same time, a thought came to mind: Could he be the abyss scholar?
Before, I subconsciously imagined him as a human being, but Alais never said that he was a human being.
"Come out!"
Hua Mi said solemnly.
The guy poked his head out and took a look, then walked out from behind the tree.
"He's a Borui!"
Xiaohong contacted him through telepathy:
"Is he the abyss scholar? Is the abyss scholar a Borui? This is even worse!" "
Why is it worse?"
"A Borui is originally a person. Just a little nervous, coupled with the influence of the abyss... God, I can't imagine it. Are you sure you want to go with them?" "...
"
The Borui man took a few steps towards him unsteadily. .
Hua Mi is alert.
The other party did not show any hostility. Instead, he grinned and pointed at the corpse of the beast on the ground. His voice was a bit high, as if he had inhaled helium: "
This is the shift beast..."
His pronunciation was very standard, Bea Rice's human language standards are much better.
"Oh..."
Hua Mi responded in confusion. The other party didn't seem hostile.
But why drop a beast carcass on his doorstep?
This looks like an act of provocation.
Hua Mi was about to ask him about his identity.
But he suddenly became energetic, took a step forward, and continued to point at the beast corpse on the ground. He spoke very quickly and stuttered: "The displacement beast is very, very powerful. It can project a false, false image. , allowing the enemy to misjudge its position and position, and launch a surprise attack. Many inexperienced adventurers cannot survive for a minute when encountering a shifter beast. "Some illusion spells, just through
imitation The Shift Beast was researched and researched. You know, human bionic magic is very, very powerful. "
He stuttered but spoke so fast that Hua Mi felt panicked when he heard it.
Bo Ruiren took a deep breath after finishing speaking in one breath, then raised his hand and stroked his slender knuckles, looking at him expectantly:
"Meeting gift, For you. Hi, do you like it? "
..."
It's actually a gift.
Is this thing valuable?
Before Hua Mi could answer, he suddenly turned his head to the side and spoke into the air: "He will definitely like it, right?" He lives in seclusion in the Black Forest and is an eccentric alchemist who will definitely like this weird gift. You said you should buy him a gift in town? No, no, no, those things are too ordinary for him and not impressive enough...right? Stop mumbling, it's too late to say anything now!
"Who are you talking to? " "
Borui seemed stunned, then pointed at him and laughed: "You are so humorous, I like humorous people! Ha ha! "
..."
This is the companion he is going to adventure with...
Hua Mi suddenly felt that he should consider this matter more carefully. The
Borui man laughed a few times, suddenly stopped, and continued to rub his hands expectantly: "You Like it? "
Uh, thank you..."
"I originally wanted to catch him alive. A domesticated shifter is more valuable to you, right?" But it just refused to follow me honestly! This cruel beast! It attacks me again and again! Jumping at me, trying to scratch and bite me! I can only fight back! Do you understand? I have no other way..." He
was still speaking very fast, but he no longer stuttered.
His voice became louder and more ferocious, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke, and his whole aura changed in an instant.
Let People felt chills all over.
"Is this the breath of the abyss? "
Hua Mi now felt that he was more dangerous than this shifting beast. He
silently controlled the swarm and prepared for battle.
At this moment, there was a "crack".
Turning his head to look, Alais pushed open the window with both hands, a look on his face. A rare expression of anger appeared: "Quiet! "
The Borui man immediately shut up and returned to his clumsy and funny look before, rubbing his knuckles and squinting at the ground, as if he was thinking about something, but he muttered: "Sorry, sorry, sorry. , I'm sorry..."
Bang -
Alais closed the window again.
For a moment, there was only the buzzing of bees around.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Hua Mi cleared his throat and asked, "So, you are the abyss scholar?"
"Yes!" He replied in a second, raised his head and stared directly at Hua Mi, his eyes seemed to be bright, "But please Don't be afraid, we are actually not as crazy as the rumors say."
"..."
expressed doubt.
"It's true, believe me." He took another step forward and patted his chest with his big hand. "My heart is very clear. As the saying goes, the madness on the surface is to maintain the absolute rationality inside. . This is a saying circulated in the association, and it is a true portrayal of us. Look..."
He said, taking out a piece of paper from under the funny sleeve clothes, unfolding it for Hua Mi to see, it was densely packed with records. What, there’s a stamp underneath.
"What is this?"
"I just received the inspection report a few days ago. Look, all the indicators are normal!"
