Blood Dragon

-She used her innate ability, and the color of her body kept changing, adapting to the surrounding environment.When she walked through the bushes, her body was a mixture of light green and ocher brown, and when she climbed the rocks, her body naturally turned gray and white.It is precisely because of this talent that it is difficult for Mimilu to be found even when she is running at full speed.This journey may be very troublesome for others, because there are really no roads around, and it takes a long time to go around to the source of the sound.But Mimilu ignored the complicated terrain and ran towards the source of the sound in a straight line.All mountains, boulders, and bushes are no problem in front of her.Soon, she came to a condescending position where she could observe clearly.

"What... I thought it was time." Mimilu sighed in disappointment.There were people, two men struggling with their horses over a steep slope.Although these two people can be seen as spies at a glance, Ashuruffat did tell her that she doesn't have to deal with any scattered people.Let alone two, even if there are ten or twenty, don't worry about it.Mimilu only needs to pay attention to those large-scale teams with hundreds or thousands of people.

Mimilu continued to observe for a while in disappointment.But she was soon able to confirm that there were indeed only such two people and two horses nearby, so she turned back and left towards the original position.

It is not connected to the other road. This valley has never been artificially repaired because it was once occupied by dragons. It is not a "road" in the true sense. The current state can only be considered as "a terrain that is easier to pass in the mountains." That's all.The terrain of the valley is complex, some road sections are very broken, too many places have reached the level of "passable", and some road sections are very narrow.Mimilu wants to monitor whether there are troops passing by here, so there are two options, either she repeatedly runs from one side of the valley to the other, or she chooses a certain "pass" location.

And in this case, she doesn't need to care about her own safety.When she stays put, she blends perfectly with her surroundings.To say that Mimilu's existence can be recognized from a long distance is definitely beyond the scope of human capabilities.

She has been here for two days, and in the two days, she saw seven or eight waves of people.Almost all small teams of one or two people.The large-scale army that Ashurfat was concerned about did not appear.It seems that she still has to stay here.

But it's really boring here.

It was already dark, and Mimilu returned to her temporary nest in frustration.This is a small cave she found temporarily. It is located in a high place, on the one hand, it can shelter from the wind and rain, and on the other hand, it allows her to sleep safely.But the assortment of camping gear Mimilu had grown accustomed to, even lived in that cozy castle for a long time.Now suddenly returning to a life alone in the wild, I am not used to it.

In her temporary den, there is a makeshift sleeping bed made up of dry grass, dead branches, leaves and the like.But for Mimilu who is used to blankets, quilts and tents, this thing is much worse than a bed.If I had known that when I left, I should have asked Ashrufat for human camping equipment.Although those things are bulky and heavy, they can provide a comfortable resting place.

Mimilu felt depressed and missed the soft blanket, while coiled up like a cat, ready to sleep.What she ate today was a rabbit caught by the roadside.Rabbit meat is still delicious when boiled. It would be even more delicious if it can be roasted like Ashuruffat or boiled into soup with various spices... She should ask Ashuruffat for some when she leaves something to cook...

There was a faint fragrance in the wind.When Mimilu was half asleep and half awake, it quietly blended into her nasal cavity.Mimilu had a good dream. She dreamed that the war was over and she returned to Ashuruffat's side, and Ashuruffat praised her while giving her lots of snacks.It was a very fragrant snack, but for some reason, I couldn't taste it in my mouth.But Mimilu still ate a lot.

A ray of sunlight shone in from the entrance of the den, just in Mimilu's eyes.Mimilu instinctively wanted to grab the blanket to block the glare of the sun, but in vain.Her hands held nothing but handfuls of hay.

"Ah!" Mimilu opened her eyes, and her thinking quickly returned to normal.By the way, I'm not in the castle now, but in...the mountain...helping the master monitor this road...

She stretched, then crawled out of the makeshift den.The sun shone on her body, making her feel warm and comfortable.Then she clearly felt the "gurgling" sound in her stomach.

By the way, she only ate a rabbit yesterday, and a wild fruit she found the day before yesterday... Mimilu was a little surprised to find that she was not only used to the blanket and bedding physically, but also got used to the big food in terms of appetite. Eat and drink.She remembered that she was able to eat such a rabbit before, and she would not feel as hungry as now. Could it be that the rabbit she caught yesterday was too small?

In any case, the problem of hunger must be solved.Mimilu calmed down and paused for a few minutes, but she couldn't hear any suspicious voices.It seems that the enemy that Ashuruffat asked her to monitor hasn't come yet, so she can go find something to eat now.

Just as Mimilu was about to leave, she suddenly realized one thing—that scent was still there.Because she had been smelling it all night, she was used to the smell, and it was only at this moment that she came to her senses and realized that this was not her hallucination or dream.

Indeed, the smell of food came to her nose.The scent was so alluring now that she was hungry, it almost made her salivate.

Mimilu immediately climbed down from her den and searched for the source of the fragrance.

In fact, finding the target is not difficult at all.It didn't take much time for Mimilu to discover the source of the fragrance—it was a bag hanging on a tree branch.Two squirrels were also attracted by the scent, and they were sitting on the branch looking for something to eat.But because the rope hanging the bag is thin and long, although they can smell the fragrance, they can't get the food.After noticing Mimilu's approach, the vigilant squirrel ran away immediately.

Mimilu didn't rush directly to the bag recklessly.She first walked around the bag carefully to prevent anyone lurking around, and then carefully observed the bag's surroundings.But this time caution is unnecessary, because there is really no danger nearby.It seems that this is just a traveler hanging his bag here for some reason.

Mimilu easily untied the bag from the branch.The bag is leather, but the bag has a lot of small holes for ventilation and an intricate knot at the top.But this knot is not very difficult for Mimilu.As the scent dictates, what's in the bag is a delicious treat.She took a small bite to judge whether it was poisonous, and immediately put all the snacks into her stomach happily.The only regret is that the bag is not big enough, and the number of snacks in it is limited, which cannot satisfy the hungry Mimilu.

Anyway, maybe it's because I'm hungry, but this snack is really delicious.It's not that ordinary level of deliciousness, but that kind of extreme deliciousness.Regardless of the smell, color, and taste, it is impeccable.In fact, this is the most delicious food in Mimilu's impression.After she finished eating, she licked her fingers carefully.

There are human footprints and horseshoe prints under this tree from which the snack bags hang.Looks like he should be the one who left the snacks.

Mimilu followed the trail and found the second bag to her surprise.She also observed carefully for four weeks, and after confirming that there was no danger, she had her second breakfast.

Mimilu continued to follow the trail of the mysterious person who left snacks, and in the afternoon, she finally caught up with the target.It was a man in a traveling cloak leading a horse with a large saddlebag slung from its back.When Mimilu found him, the mysterious man was hanging the third bag on a tree.

Mimilu stayed far away, she couldn't understand why this man hung such a delicious snack on the tree and didn't want it anymore.

"Could it be that he doesn't like this taste?" Mimilu asked herself in her stomach.Of course, the common sense she had learned in the human world told her that this was impossible.Even if humans don't like this kind of snack and plan to throw it away, they will not use this inexplicable method.This person must have his reasons for doing this.

But no matter what the reason was, since he was going to throw away such a delicious snack here, Mimilu decided to do him a favor and solve this trouble for him.

She followed the mysterious man patiently.With the help of the invisibility and color-changing talents possessed by the half-beast race, Mimilu was sure that the other party hadn't noticed him at all.After dark, the mysterious man removed the saddlebags from the horses and set up a small camp.After waiting for a while, Mimilu finally heard the other party's snoring.

She quietly touched the edge of the camp.With goblin dexterity he undid his large saddlebag.As Mimilu observed, the big bag was full of that delicious snack.But Mimilu couldn't take away the whole bag at once, so she could only take away a small amount of snacks each time.When the mysterious man wakes up in the middle of the night (Mimilu knows that many human travelers have this habit of getting up in the middle of the night to check their luggage), Mimilu has already returned to the safe place where the snacks are hidden, and has a feast.

It must be said that this is really a delicious dim sum, and it has the legendary "the more you eat, the better it tastes" effect.Although Mimilu took away half of it this time, she was still reluctant to leave the remaining half bag of snacks.

She fell asleep smelling the scent of snacks in a pile of bushes, but when the mysterious man woke up and was about to set off, Mimilu was already waiting for him.

It's a little strange that the mysterious man noticed that the snacks were reduced by half, but he didn't feel panic or angry at all.He just tied the bag again calmly and continued on the road.In the following morning, the mysterious man hung a bag on a tree as before, but did not install any traps.This time, when the mysterious man walked a little further away, Mimilu jumped over unceremoniously and ate all the dim sum in two bites.

The results of this day's tracking were no different from yesterday's. Mimilu found two small bags of delicious snacks.But this time when it was dark and camped, perhaps because he noticed the mysterious thief yesterday, the mysterious man put the saddle bag not far from him.Of course, when he was snoring slightly, Mimilu still approached the bag and opened it like yesterday.There is a risk of detection, but no real danger.Because Mimilu has great confidence that she can escape before the other party takes any action.Her speed is faster than humans, and with the night vision ability of humans, it is impossible to chase her in the dark—even if she doesn't use her color-changing talent.

At the beginning, Mimilu still peeked at the mysterious man from time to time to see if there was any movement, but soon she completely entrusted this work to her ears.She was busy taking those delicious snacks from the saddlebag, but she didn't notice that the mysterious man who was snoring slightly opened half of his eyes.

Even the supernatural hearing of the half-beast race could not hear the sound of eyelids opening.
