Chapter 42 Golden Firefly Maple Forest

Qianqi took over the work of killing fish, which is what he is good at, because for him who has not walked out of Dongyao for more than ten years, the happiest time is to swim in the lake surrounding Dongyao Palace. Dragons are good water. He is as free as a fish in the water. As long as he is soaked in the water, he seems to leave all his troubles behind. He often thinks that his mother's arms must be as gentle as water.

Every time he is tired of swimming in the water, he catches a few fish in the lake, and then goes to the shore and grills fish with the children of the mermaids living on the shore. His fun ability may have been cultivated at that time.

The mermaid clan has a low status among demons. Although it is slightly better in Dongyao, the parents of the mermaid clan will still let their children be cautious. Most of their fates are either slaves or singing and dancing prostitutes. Because they are always bought and sold, they often have deep precautions for outsiders.

At the beginning of contact with the mermaid children, they refused to speak anyway. When Qianqi came, they just looked at it from afar. When he really tried to get close to them, they quickly escaped. Later, he tried to bring them some fun and delicious gadgets from the palace, and gradually got acquainted. Their parents are happy that their children can play with the son of the Amber Dragon King. In their opinion, they can get the love of Qianqi. When their children grow up, they are very likely to enter the Dongyao Palace to accompany him. Amber Dragon King has always been kind and generous. His son looks very pure, at least much better than selling to other nobles. They will only abuse and torture them. Even if they spoil them, they are just like pets. Mermaids are not like other demons. Their life cycle is short, almost the same as human beings. The most beautiful time is It's only ten years.

When they get old, their bodies are no longer young and their faces are no longer beautiful, their owners will lose interest in them and let them do the hardest work, and soon other mermaids will become their pets. Mermaids all eat raw meat, which seems somewhat horrible to Qianqi. When he handed them his roasted fish, they were a little resistant at first, but after tasting it once, they fell in love with the taste. They are simple by nature, don't have too much emotion, and never seem to be desperate and sad. This may be another kind of evolution, only Only in this way can they face their own fate more calmly.

But they will laugh, not a smile deliberately pretended to please others, but a deep, grateful smile with praise in their eyes. There is no more humble and pious species than them on the shore, but as soon as they enter the water, they have demonic, just like in the past, they will instinctively drag other opposite sexes in. Kill in the water. But among this group of mermaids, there is a child who is so different. That is, the jade cicada that danced for him when Ouyang Xiao Leng and others came to Dongyao last time. She and Qianqi have been chatting very well since childhood, because she does not think that she was born humble like other fish. She will express her various emotions to Qianqi, cry and laugh. He made him like this child very much and spoiled her like his brother.

Qianqi cleaned up all the fish, and helped Xia Qiu sharpen the front of the thin stick he had found and put the fish on it. Then he asked Ouyang Hongye for salt and other seasonings and cooked it skillfully. Xia Qiu also helped. Ouyang Xiao Leng was not interested in such a job at all. He just sat quietly on the ground. The excitement of playing with Xia Qiu and Qianqi had not yet passed, and he had another feeling that he had never had before.

The crackling sound of firewood makes people happy. Soon, the fragrance of grilled fish permeated the air. As soon as they smelled this fragrance, the wind and fire couldn't lie down first. They got up and came behind them, staring straight at the hot fish on the fire.

"The cat is greedy, especially fish." Ouyang Hongye felt that the wind and fire disappeared from him in the blink of an eye.

"People like me who can't live without meat eat so lightly along the way, and they are almost thin into a flash of lightning." Fenghuo complained while touching his stomach.

"Yes, I can't stand it because I can't live without alcohol every day." Wang Yue echoed and surrounded him.

Xia Qiu handed the roasted fish to Fenghuo first, "Give it, Lord Fenghuo!"

The wind and fire took it and didn't care to say a word and almost burned his tongue.

Wang Yue said, "It seems that you are not born in the year of the cat, but in the year of the wolf."

"What is the year of the cat and the wolf! Not to mention that it tastes really good, thank you, Miss Xia Qiu, and you, little monkey! I haven't seen you called Hongye and Lord Wangyue, and you don't have to call me Lord in the future. It seems that I'm older. Just call me Fenghuo like them!" Fenghuo said while eating grilled fish.

"I'm not a little monkey! When did you give me such a nickname?!" Qianqi shouted to him angrily.

Wang Yue took the grilled fish handed over by Xia Qiu and turned around and called Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiao Leng: "Hey, I also want to invite you to eat. Come on!"

The two came over when they heard the sound. Xia Qiu handed them the roasted fish. Qianqi insisted on eating it for the last time. This was the first time Xia Qiu had eaten the fish in the world. This kind of fish tasted extremely delicious. It was a taste she had never tasted in the world. Although it was a river fish, it was not earthy at all, and there were very few fish bones.

"Because this place is very close to the whole hometown of Xianhe, the air and water quality are particularly pure. Although it is the most common white fish, it is also particularly delicious." Ouyang Hongye said and ate another bite of fish.

After riding in the mountain stream for more than half a day, they finally entered the golden dragonfly maple forest before nightfall. At this time, the sun had not completely set. The sunset hit the maple trees and coated the leaves with gold edges. The distance between the trees in the forest was too dense, which made them ride slower and slower. When the sun completely set, the demon horse was completely unable to move forward in the forest. They called away their own demon horses and began to walk deeper into the forest.

The maple trees under the night sky are another beautiful scenery, not to mention the golden fireflies. Xia Qiu can't help looking forward to the appearance of fireflies. When they came to the open space, she faintly saw a small spark-like light spot. Looking in the direction of the light spot, one golden light after another seemed to slowly float from the ground into the air, and the more they gathered, they tentatively approached them. Closer and a little back. When they reached the middle of the open space, the fireflies also gathered with them. They really seemed to have souls and surrounded them. As they walked through them, they were like passing through the most beautiful dreams.

When they touched Ouyang Xiao Leng, they seemed to be attracted by him and began to hover around his body. As soon as he stretched out his hand, some of them fell on his palm, bringing a cold but subtle touch. Then more and more fireflies began to fly towards him. They lined up in many golden lines and rotated in various directions around his arms and body, as if trying to interpret his heart. Suddenly, the golden lines seemed to have agreed to fly over the open space at the same time, and then slowly rotated to the center from all directions, rotating to form five separate petals, and then the five petals slowly gathered to a center.

"It's a plum blossom!" Ouyang Hongye saw at a glance that this was a plum blossom pattern, and then he couldn't help laughing, because he knew who the plum blossom represented.

Qianqi was a little unconvinced. In this group of fireflies, Ouyang Xiao Leng was actually the most noble person, but what he couldn't understand was that he thought was the most beautiful was the plum blossom, so he tilted his mouth and said, "The big man actually likes flowers!"

"He doesn't like plum blossoms. He is the one who likes plum blossoms." Ouyang Hongye squeezed his eyes and said.

After hearing what he said, Xia Qiu realized why fireflies formed the pattern of plum blossoms, and her face turned red.

Ouyang Xiao Leng raised his head and quietly looked at the pattern composed of fireflies. In the bottom of his heart, he secretly admired the magic of these fireflies. They not only chose themselves, but also understood his heart. After being still in the air for a period of time, the fireflies slowly spread out and fly to the depths of the maple forest. Small spots like starlight shuttle between the trees. There are also a large number of fireflies in the forest. They also slowly rise and integrate into the group, as if the reflection of the starry sky in the forest.

"The open space where we are resting now is the deepest part of the golden dragonfly maple forest. If you go further, you must be more vigilant. There are some ancient creatures living in the depths of the forest, some of which are very dangerous, such as bloodthirsty bats and cat mars. Cats are carnivores with a head like a bobcat and a body like a tick. Both animals like to act in groups and for food, and when they go out in groups, they still have a certain threat. As one of the oldest forests in the demon world, the golden dragonfly maple forest retains its original appearance. All kinds of animals and insects in the demon world can be seen here. They are more ancient species than animals and insects in the human world. Because it is difficult to dim the light in the depths of the forest even during the day, they will appear even during the day. But most of them are more afraid of being disturbed, so we didn't see too many animals after we entered the Golden Firefly Maple Forest. When everyone was taking a nap in the open space, Ouyang Hongye said to others.

At this time, several rabbits poked their heads out of the grass from afar. They did not seem to be afraid of people, but leisurely ran to the empty field close to Xia Qiu to eat grass. These rabbits had long cream hair and blue eyes. Their bodies were small and round, and they looked very beautiful. She was unconsciously attracted to them and tried to move closer to them. They didn't mind. They continued to eat grass, and she boldly stretched out her hand to touch them.

Like all girls, she can't resist cute little animals. Their long hair feels extremely soft and their bodies are warm. If she can't bother them to chew delicious food, she really wants to hold them all in her arms.

Qianqi also came over and played with those little things with her. After a while, some strange sounds suddenly came from the forest. The rabbits were alert when they heard the sound, pricked up their ears and jumped in the opposite direction and escaped.
