The Ranger has his own cabin deep in the forest. This is not the kind of building built with wooden boards and stones, but by modifying the direction of the growth of trees, it is built slowly.
Looking up, this house has existed since 200 years ago, but there was only one tree hole at that time. Now, with the growth of trees, the original tree hole has been pushed to a height of 20 meters, seriously affecting the stability of trees. So a few decades ago, the tree hole was smashed and demolished, becoming an open observation platform that Zhao Mai now sees.
There are still three rooms that can be used. They belong to three generations of Rangers and were built in their own time. Under these three, there is an unfinished tree hole, which should be prepared for the next generation of Rangers. Some purplish red vines are climbing on the tree holes, emitting faint fluorescence from time to time. Different from the vines that absorb the nutrition of trees, the roots of purple vines are rooted in the soil, and they are not weak at all. Instead, they are like pulling chains, constantly expanding the size of tree holes.
The gourd shaped Ranger tree is surrounded by a piece of grass. Only grass can survive in the shadow of the huge canopy, and other trees can't grow at all. A group of rabbits are playing here. When they see Zhao Mai, they run away and run to hide under the complex roots of the Ranger tree. A big white goose straightened its neck, flapped its wings and rushed to Zhao Mai with a squawk.
Carl raised his foot and kicked the goose aside. The geese blinked and knew that they had finished the task, so they propped up their fat belly with their wings, protested twice, then twisted their bodies, and swaggered to the food trough to find something to eat, just like the fat officials in ancient times.
Geese have a strong sense of territory, which is similar to dogs in terms of home care. Hear the goose, from the highest tree hole inside the house out of a gray green head.
This is a orc, a descendant of orcs and other humanoid races. Whether it's with humans, elves, halflings or dwarfs, beasts are born with orcs, which to some extent shows the strength of their lineage. At present, only the dragon race can suppress the blood of orcs, and the offspring left behind will be half dragons. Dwarf I've never heard of half dwarves, which means that their blood and their temper are as tough as rocks.
This brings us to another race: elves. Elves and human descendants are half elves, but what about orcs? This is a taboo topic, even the most gentle Elves will be furious when they hear it. Zhao Mai and a group of friends with big brain holes have discussed that the final appearance should be a half Orc rather than a half elf.
It is said that the orcs have been using this to prove that their blood is more noble than the elves, which is the root of the feud between the elves and the orcs The orcs are also trying to infect the blood of the dwarves, so the dwarves and the orcs are not the same.
What's more, why do other races have a good attitude towards half elves, that is, elves are not good to them? Among them Just understand. Even the most "noble" race can use the time of lower body thinking.
"Teacher, you are back!" The orc let out a happy cry, and then jumped directly from the tree house nearly ten meters high. He adjusted his posture in mid air and fell to the ground like a strong cat.
The head is small, the neck is thick, the body has not expanded, this is still a young ORC. He wore a leather skirt around his waist. In the process of jumping down, the thing under it swings into Zhao Mai's sight, which leads to his nausea.
"Soru." The old Ranger pointed to the orc and introduced it to Zhao Mai. "This is Mike. I picked it up by the lake. He's lost."
The orc opened his arms and hugged him. His chest muscles, biceps, and other muscles and muscle groups all worked together to squeeze the air out of Zhao Mai's lungs. Zhao Mai's eyes turned white and his throat said, "er Er... " I screamed.
Fortunately, Thoreau just hugged and let go. He immediately turned to turn the bag behind Carl and took out the boar leg to jump and jump happily.
Zhao Mai took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breathing. He just vaguely saw a shrewd flash under the orc's gray eyes. He didn't know whether it was a simple joke or something else.
Carl put down his backpack, put his index and middle fingers in his mouth and blew hard. The Ranger's cabin immediately came to life, and dozens of animals of all kinds climbed out of their hiding places. Zhao Mai saw a boa constrictor with the thickness of a bucket. He opened his mouth and swam quietly behind the rabbit.
Before he exclaimed, he saw the rabbit thrown into the air, and then pulled aside by the Python's tail. The round gray rabbit bounced on the grass like a tennis ball and rolled out.
Python bared his teeth, pushed east and West, and went straight to the front. His eyes were full of meekness and flattery, and he put his head a foot away from Carl's palm, just like a child waiting for adult praise.
The old Ranger did not move, but continued to wait. Soon after, a bald yellow old dog came out of the hole in the tree. It is lame in one leg and blind in one eye. It's been a long time since the oblique cut from the overhead crossbar to the corner of the mouth, which is obviously the cause of blindness.Behind him followed a round dog, striding with short legs to keep up. The old dog looks like golden hair, but this little dog can't see the breed. It's a bit like Akita, and it's also similar to Chai dog. He always opens his mouth and tries to bite the only hair on the bald tail of the old dog in front of him.
Soru put down the pig's leg, took two steps, picked up the dog and wiped his face with it. The old dog put out his big tongue to lick his lips, spit at the boa constrictor, and put his chin in Carl's palm.
It first enjoyed the master's touch, and then crawled to the sun to take a nap with satisfaction. The boa constrictor hopes to enjoy a full body massage, but after the old Ranger grabs it by the neck and shakes it for a few times, he is also satisfied and "magnanimously" gives his position out.
Carl pointed to the tree hole on the second floor, indicating that Zhao Mai could live there. Then he led a group of chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits to check the yard. Soru dropped the dog on the ground and went with him.
The boa constrictor tilted his head and looked at Zhao Mai. He stretched his nose up and down and smelt it carefully. It seemed that he was looking at where to mouth better. Zhao Mai knew that the animals trained by Rangers would not hurt people easily, so he could face them calmly and not be scared. This kind of performance obviously let boa constrictor very satisfied, gently wiped Zhao Mai with the body, and went away on his own.
The dog rolled over and fell at Zhao Mai's feet. Looking at its little red tongue, Zhao Mai held it in his arms with pity.
The boa constrictor hissed twice and looked back.
