Chapter 86 Hunting Sandworms
into the night,

In the process of returning to the burial ground, Blood Butterfly Xiaodu deliberately took his companion Xiaodie to spare a long way.

Of course, all of this was done without telling the tree owner Li Mu,
The blood butterfly skimmed westward over the dense canopy, flying all the way out of the edge of the forest, and faintly saw the desert.

"You should go this way." Xiaodie stretched her mouthparts and said, pointing in the direction of the bone burial ground.

Butterfly Xiaodu was unmoved, and encouraged his companions to say: "It's okay, you can reach the territory if you go here, let's fly slowly, we won't get lost, see if there are any potholes on the ground over there, I set them up before. Signposts, you can go back along this road in a while."

In the desert area where the blood butterfly is located, there are huge potholes every few hundred meters. The potholes are not formed naturally. The edges of the holes are severely corroded, and the old and new soil layers are eye-catching.
It is the road sign left by Blood Butterfly Xiaodu when he lost his way before.

Flying along the tunnel with Xiaodie, Xiaodu said: "Last time I met a big worm here, and I killed it afterward. Let's look around this time."

Xiaodie flapped her wings and followed her companion, saying, "Why are you here?"

"boom"

The blood gun condensed in the wings of the little poisonous butterfly, and it was a bombardment against the compacted ground. Suddenly, the dust filled the sky, arousing thick smoke to cover the moonlight,
When the smoke clears and the lingering sound dissipates,
Butterfly Xiaodu said leisurely: "Of course we will catch it and kill it, but we'd better capture it alive and bring it to the territory. It will definitely make the tree owner happy, and Xiaoer won't say that I lied to it."

The last time it told the news that it hunted and killed worms, among its companions, the spider Xiaoer didn't believe it, thinking it was talking nonsense, saying that such a huge worm could not exist at all.

How can this work.

Of course Xiao Du wants to save face, so he decides to catch the worm back and demonstrate in front of Xiao Er.

If it hadn't been for the tree owner who kept a close eye on his family members and prevented them from leaving the territory too far, Xiao Du would have already started to act, so taking advantage of this rare opportunity to go out,
Xiao Du thought that whatever he said tonight, he would take the scratching worm back, otherwise he would not have the chance to go out in the future, especially since he has been making troubles all the time recently. Neither Xiaodie nor Xiaodie had a chance to leave the burial ground.

"Find it quickly, Xiaodie, time is running out, the tree owner will let us return in a while, and then we will never have a chance to find such a huge sandworm again."

Xiaodu urged, and at the same time reminded his companion Xiaodie, "Those big sandworms will come out of the ground, don't be swallowed, the esophagus is very smelly, be careful."

After finishing speaking, it continued to release blood guns at the position where it first encountered the big worm, blasting the ground into potholes, almost blasting out of a small basin.
But no matter how strong the little poison is, it can't escape the category of living things after all.

After more than a dozen blood gun shots, it was already exhausted and needed to rest for a while. It stopped attacking and was about to hunt some monsters nearby, but found that Xiaodie was just hovering in midair, motionless, with no intention of making a move.

"Xiaodie, hurry up, help find the worm." Xiaodu flew to his companion and urged.

Xiaodie hesitated and said, "This is not good."

Butterfly Xiaodu instantly understood that his companion must be worried about being scolded. It seems that he is still too young to let go of his psychological burden.

For this kind of mental journey, Xiao Du also experienced it when he was born,
However, as time went by, it had grown into an old fritter, knowing that the tree owner was actually very kind. As long as he didn't make too serious mistakes, the general punishment was not to go out, and if it was more serious, he would be hanged and beaten.

These are small scenes, small problems.

But Butterfly Xiaodu said: "It's okay, we didn't do anything wrong."

Xiaodie: "Go back.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Blood Butterfly's Toutou Xiaodu immediately felt bored when he heard it, and finally ran out, how could he go back easily?
no,

I had to persuade my playmate, but before I finished talking, I heard my companion Xiaodie continue to say: "The big crack is more interesting."

Xiaodu was speechless for a moment, it turned out that Xiaodie just had no interest in big worms, she was still thinking about those hairy monsters, she really didn't know what's so interesting about those hairball-like creatures.

As the first to be born among the blood butterflies, Xiaodu, and the second, maybe even the last born member Xiaodie, the relationship between the two blood butterflies is very good, they are almost inseparable, and Xiaodu is also very friendly to his companions. take care of,

Usually, if Xiaodie makes a request, as the leader of Butterfly, she will definitely agree.

It's just that I didn't catch the worm today, Xiaodu naturally couldn't do it willingly. When he came out from the Porpoise Demon Tribe, he had already reported to Lord Tree Master, which meant that the mission had been completed, and the rest of the time, according to his understanding, of course had to be done. free distribution.

If you run back to the territory now, you don't know when you will have to wait until you think about it next time.

"Hairy monsters are meaningless, listen to me, think about it, the tree owner likes to collect those weird creatures the most, those hairy monsters in the big crack are so weak, the tree owner took them in,
If we can catch the big worm and bring it back, the tree owner will be very happy. "

In order to get Xiaodie to help, Butterfly Xiaodu even moved the tree owner out.

It seemed to be working.

Kocho agrees.

So, under the slightly scarlet night, the two blood butterflies worked together, and one released a blood gun to bombard the ground frantically, blowing the ground up.

On the other hand, although Xiaodie, the blood-headed butterfly, didn't have the blood gun talent, she released a powder with severe corrosion, which was more than enough to deal with the loess. The powder swayed and melted the ground layer by layer.

Under the unremitting efforts of the two butterflies, the rammed loess on the surface of the area was corroded and disappeared, revealing a darker soil layer. There were scattered and unknown animal bones buried under the soil layer, as well as some scattered ore blocks.

Miscellaneous, anyway, everything is hidden in the underground soil layer, and several underground settlements of creatures have been dug out, all of which are used by blood butterflies as nutrients for corrosion powder,

Searched the entire area, but just didn't see any worms.

"No reason, I met here last time, there should be a nest of worms nearby." Xiao Du felt a little unconfident, if this continues, his image in the heart of his companion Xiaodie will collapse.

In fact, it has collapsed.
Xiaodie obviously wasn't interested in that big worm, so she said directly, "Let's go."

"Find it again."

Little Poison Butterfly didn't want to give up. Looking at the time, the tree owner's consciousness has not been transmitted, which means that he can continue to search for worms, "This time we change the place."

was saying,

Meaning, a voice came from the network: "Where is it? Hurry back to the Boneyard."

Li Mu found a talent fragment attribute and couldn't wait to use it to transform the blood butterfly, but when he cast his gaze over it, he was completely stunned.

This is where?

It's not like being in a forest, or like a desert. It's like being in ruins, with dilapidated ground and potholes of different sizes everywhere.

Li Mu had expected for a long time that the Blood Butterfly duo would sneak away to another place. He originally thought they would run back to the big crack, but now that he saw it, he couldn't even recognize where it was.

"This is the desert, the area where I lost my way last time."

Xiao Du's cowardly voice came, and now, the only thing he can do is to confess and be lenient, and try to get the tree owner's forgiveness, and anyway, it's not a big deal, it's just destroying a certain area of ​​the desert.

As one of the dependents who often cause trouble, Xiaodu has already summed up experience from countless times of beatings.
Only by doing anything that may threaten the territory, the safety of the tree owner and their family members, the tree owner will really get angry,
For those trivial things like violating the rules and running around, the Lord Tree Master will only punish you slightly, which is irrelevant unless you refuse to change after repeated admonitions.

Of course, the most important point is that if you have a good attitude when you do something wrong, you have a high chance of escaping punishment.

The lessons of blood and tears made Xiao Du work harder to think independently, reflect and summarize, and finally thought he had mastered a set of effective methods to avoid punishment.

"Desert? Have you overturned the surface here?"

After being reminded, Li Mu understood it, but the dilapidated scene nearby made him unable to tell which area of ​​the desert it was.

"Yes, I did it all, it has nothing to do with Xiaodie."

Xiaodu readily admits that he must be decisive in admitting mistakes, and he even helped Xiaodie take responsibility together. Such a responsible and honest act will definitely make the tree owner feel relieved.

If the tree owner is happy, his anger will be lessened, and the punishment will be lowered accordingly. Maybe he can get a word or two of praise,

But all this is not over yet, to appease Lord Tree Master's anger that is about to be vented needs to be done step by step. After admitting the mistake, it is best to add a sentence or two of reflection,
I have to say that Xiaodu has no other skills, but his apology is top-notch.
After bravely admitting his mistakes, and even taking the initiative to help his companions take responsibility, Xiao Du said in a voice full of apology and guilt.

"Lord Tree Owner, Little Poison is wrong. I just want to catch a few big worms and present them to the Tree Owner. I won't dare again in the future."

network of consciousness
After a brief silence.

"Oh, forget it, come back quickly, don't get lost."

Butterfly Xiaodu was delighted to hear that, as expected, the tree owner was still as kind as ever, the more Xiaodu was like this, the more guilty he felt, obviously he had done something wrong, but he was still playing tricks, taking advantage of the tree owner's kindness to his family.

This time the punishment was escaped by his own trick, but Xiaodu didn't feel so good in his heart. It knew that the tree owner had been working hard to find a way to protect the dependents, and he was angry because he was worried that the dependents would be in danger.

As a result, Xiao Du's mood became extremely bad and heavy, "Master Tree Master, I, I don't dare anymore."

It repeated the same sentence just now, and this time the apology contained in it was much deeper than before.

"Ugh."

Hearing this, Li Mu sighed helplessly, as if he was disciplining a stubborn child, "Come back first, tree owner, I have recently improved the strength of the tree body, and it hurts even more to hit people with vines."

"Be obedient, come back quickly, the road is dangerous, you must save your life and return to the burial ground."

Little Poison: "."

Snapped!
in the burial ground,

The upgraded branch of a certain tree demon is more powerful than before. The root tip of the branch hits the ground, and the cracks spread out like spider webs.

At this moment, Spider Xiao Er, who was bargaining with the caretaker Xiao San in the storage room, suddenly felt a dangerous feeling, and the spider leg hairs all over his body were trembling uneasily.

"What's the matter?" Xiao San looked at his companion in a daze and asked.

"It's nothing, there seemed to be a terrible voice just now, did you hear it?" Xiao He said in fear.

Xiao San shook her head, "Don't talk nonsense, I only give you three gravel worms, don't think about more."

Hearing this, Little Spider woke up from the astonishment, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't, take a few more heads, this is what the Lord Tree Master told you."

Snapped!
The tree trunk hit the ground again, as if practicing again.

A strong wind was blowing in the desert, and the sky was full of yellow sand. There seemed to be some kind of penetrating sound in the whistling wind.

Butterfly Xiaodu seemed to have hallucinations in front of his eyes, making its butterfly wings chill.

"Trees master, I was really wrong!"

In the meaning network, Xiao Du's more pious confession came, the voice was like a wailing, more sincere and remorseful than any other apology.

Unfortunately, Li Mu didn't answer.

"Go back quickly, Xiaodie, stop playing."

Little Poison shouted, now it doesn't care about those big worms at all, it hastily looked for the figure of its companions, thinking that the sooner it goes back the better, so that it can save a few vines.

"Xiaodie?"

Blood Butterfly Xiaodu turned around, ready to call his companions, but when he turned around, he found that there was no butterfly behind him, there was no figure of Little Butterfly, only the surging endless yellow sand.

Sandstorms are a common occurrence in deserts. When encountering such weather, most monsters will choose to hide in the hard crust, except for some monsters that have lived in the desert for a long time and have evolved a set of monsters that can adapt to sandstorms.

Of course, there are naturally powerful monsters like blood butterflies who dare to act in this kind of weather.

The sandstorm that hit this time was so violent that it even swept away a boulder with a diameter of more than one meter. Xiaodu hovered in the sandstorm, waving its butterfly wings leisurely, seemingly unaffected at all.

"Little Butterfly!"

Xiaodu yelled again, the violent wind blowing by him, wherever he looked, he still couldn't find Xiaodie.

Is it
Was it swallowed by a big worm?
Xiaodu recalled the previous experience. At that time, it was swallowed up by the big sand worm that came out of the ground because it was following behind the porpoise demon and didn't pay attention.

Now that the wind and sand are so violent, the vision of creatures is affected, making it even more difficult to notice the movement on the ground.

Xiaodu thinks it's very possible, and he can't help being a little worried. At that time, it was able to easily kill the sandworm monsters because it relied on the blood gun talent it obtained. Xiaodie is just an ordinary blood butterfly. It's hard to say whether it can defeat the sandworm.

"Xiaodie, you must not be in trouble."

Xiaodu communicated in consciousness, "Xiaodie, where are you?"

no respond.

After a long silence.

Xiaodu became more and more anxious, could it be digested by the sandworm?

There was a slight laugh from behind.

Although there was the whistling wind nearby, Xiao Du could still hear it in such a short distance.

Subsequently,

Butterfly Xiaodu turned her head very quickly, and saw her "missing" companion for a long time waving her wings cheerfully behind her, and laughing happily from time to time.

"what."

After meeting Xiaodu's eyes, Xiaodie quickly stopped laughing, trying to hide in the blind spot of the opponent's vision again.

"Stop playing!"

It's hard to imagine that these words actually came from Xiaodu's mouth, and being teased by Xiaodie, he worried for nothing, but Xiaodu couldn't get angry, and after a few casual reprimands, he flew towards the burial place.

"It's time to go back, Xiaodie."

"Oh."

The Blood Butterfly duo was preparing to return to the territory one after the other when Xiaodie stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter?"

"Big bug!"
