Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 1060 Chocobo

"You...huh?"

An Jie was wondering what the two of them were doing, when suddenly a deep cry sounded from the side.

"Chirp!"

"..."

An Jie stared blankly at the creature beside her. This was a creature she had never seen before. It looked like a large bird at first glance, but its wings seemed to have degenerated. The soles of the feet kicked down on the ground, showing that it was destined to have stronger legs than ordinary birds.

This ostrich-like creature has a long beak, its feathers are as white as snow, and its vivid golden eyes blink, looking graceful and dexterous.

As soon as it saw the young man, the bird rushed to his side as if seeing a relative. Its long tail feathers swayed high, circling around him continuously, and kept rubbing its head on his face while tilting its head.

"This, this is?"

An Jie looked at this scene in a daze. She had never seen this kind of creature, but the image of this creature reminded her of a rare bird.

"This is a chocobo..."

Asuo smiled, stretched out the back of his hand, and summoned another similar bird.

Different from the juvenile chocobo, Asuo's was a little smaller in size, and the feathers on its body were not pure white, but dark purple.The dark feathers, combined with its dark pupils, make it look like a cheetah sneaking in the forest.

"OK OK……"

The boy stroked the feathers on its forehead helplessly, took out a piece of dried meat from somewhere with the other hand, and fed it to it.

"Chirp..."

The bird immediately held the jerky with its wings, stuffed the whole jerky into its mouth in two or three bites, and swallowed it without chewing.

"It's really a chocobo!"

An Jie covered her mouth in surprise, and then looked at the two enviously: "I didn't expect you...to be able to buy a chocobo..."

"This one……"

Asuo and the boy looked at each other, seeing the smile in each other's eyes.

Chocobos are grown under harsh conditions, and they can be said to be endangered creatures in the human race. They are naturally extremely precious, and the royal families of many big countries cannot afford them. It is normal for An Jie to never see them.

But this only refers to the human race, and it is completely different for the blood race. You must know that chocobos are a specialty of their blood race islands, and almost every blood race has their own chocobo.Therefore, chocobos are rare for human races, but they are ubiquitous transportation mounts for blood races.

"how?"

An Jie saw that there was something wrong with the expressions of the two of them.

"This... I will explain it slowly later..."

The boy shook his head. Now that he knew An Jie's identity, there was nothing to hide their identities.

The boy is ready, and he will find a time to explain it to her later.But now, it's more important to escape first.

Asuo and the boy rode on the chocobo, and the boy turned his head and extended his hand to An Jie.

"Come up."

"Oh? Yes, can you?"

An Jie froze for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the white chocobo.It is said that chocobos have a proud temperament, and they will hardly carry other people except their own masters.

At this time, the chocobo was also blinking, staring at An Jie and looking up and down. After a few glances, it seemed to have figured out something. I lowered my body.

An Jie was overjoyed, it was obvious that she approved of her actions, and she didn't hesitate anymore, she took the boy's hand, and he led him directly to the chocobo.

"go!"

"Chirp!"

The two chocobos groaned in unison, stepped on the ground, and flew out like arrows.

"So fast……"

An Jie, who was riding a chocobo for the first time, was suddenly surprised.

She had heard a long time ago that chocobos are the fastest land creatures on the continent.Running at full speed, the speed can be compared to ordinary awakened celestial beings.

Although I have heard many more exaggerated rumors, actually sitting on a chocobo is a completely refreshing experience.

The scenery on both sides was passing by quickly, and only the whirring sound of air flow was left in her ears. An Jie soon discovered that the chocobo not only ran fast, but also ran extremely smoothly. Now she felt that she could drink a cup Water will never spill a drop.

The only shortcoming was the airflow caused by running too fast. Anjie was a little embarrassed when she first sat up, but now, in order not to be blown away, she could only hug the boy tightly with both hands.

After running, Asuo glanced back.Sure enough, after the chocobo started, the movement behind him disappeared.

The speed of those people seems to be unable to catch up with the chocobo. Of course, it is more likely that they never thought that the three children could take out two chocobos. The speed of the bird is getting farther and farther.

"Actually...you can hand me over..."

On the way, An Jie lowered her head and said with some guilt.

This incident was entirely caused by her, and the two of them were purely involved. Moreover, even if they caught An Jie, she would not suffer any harm. At most, she would be taken back and her freedom restricted for a period of time.

But now, An Jie is very clear that since these people have found her, they will continue to track her down until they catch her back. This also means that the original adventure plan of the two of them will be interrupted. Following them willfully will only make them live a life of being hunted down.

"Don't say that..."

The boy didn't turn his head, but his voice came over faintly.

"Don't forget, we made an appointment to travel the mainland together, even if those people won't harm you, as long as you, An Jie, don't want to go back, then I will definitely not let them take you away! "

An Jie was stunned when she heard the words. She stared at the boy's back in a daze, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"yes……"

The corners of An Jie's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and her hands holding the other party's skirts tightened a bit. She gently pressed her forehead against the young man's back, hiding her flushed cheeks.

When she realized that the boy was afraid to look at her before, An Jie always felt that the boy alienated her because she was a girl, but now it seems that this is all her own wild imagination.The reason why he didn't dare to look at himself must be because of other reasons.

other reasons...

In An Jie's wild thoughts, time passed quickly, the sunset in the sky quickly set, and the sky quickly darkened.

They fled from the afternoon until nightfall, but the pursuers behind them still had no intention of stopping their pursuit.Moreover, the other party seems to have grasped the information that they have chocobos, and also has a way to keep up with chocobos.

The boy could feel that not only did they not get rid of the pursuers behind them, but they were still being chased closer and closer.

The young man couldn't help frowning, he knew that going on like this was not the way to go, chocobos are diurnal creatures, they can run around for a whole day during the day, but their physical strength will drop quickly at night.

If they continue to run like this, they will definitely be caught up soon, and they must find a different way.

The three of them soon came to a river, which was just a small river. Under the sound of rushing water, it was crystal clear. From a distance, one could directly see the green aquatic plants and pebbles at the bottom of the river.

"Asuo!"

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stopped Asuo who was beside him. The two of them reined in the reins, and the two chocobos braked at the same time. With two crashes, the chocobo's soles just stopped in the middle of the river. middle.

"Cuckoo..."

The cool river water washed over the bare feet of the chocobos and washed away the soil contaminated between their feet. This comfortable feeling made the two birds kick their feet in the river and scream happily.

"Your Highness, shall we go by water?"

Aso asked.At the same time, I looked along the direction of the river. This winding river stretches into the depths of the forest without end.

"Um……"

The boy nodded: "We walk along the river, the river will wash away our footprints, and the sound of the water can also cover up the sound of our footsteps."

"But... isn't it easier to be discovered this way?"

An Jie poked her head out from behind the boy, and asked with some doubts.

If they go directly by water, their footprints will of course disappear, and the situation is clear at a glance.An Jie felt that her subordinates were not that stupid, so they would of course continue to chase along the waterway after seeing the situation.

"Also, aren't chocobos incapable of walking by water?"

Chocobos, as the name suggests, are creatures that specialize in running on land. Of course, they can go into the water for a short time, but once they get into the water, their speed will be greatly reduced, and it may not be as convenient as running by themselves.

The boy shook his head and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, what I mean is, of course they will continue to run forward, and we are the only ones who walk by water!"

"Ah...you mean..."

An Jie glanced at the bird below her, and quickly realized it.

As long as the chocobo continues to attack, the footprints will not be broken, so that when the pursuers come after them, they will continue to follow the chocobo's footprints.

And without a load, the chocobo can run faster.As for the recycling of the birds, don’t worry, the two chocobos are mounts that have been contracted with their owners. Generally, if they are more than a certain distance away from their owners, they will be forcibly sent back to the pet space. The two can be recalled only by calling again. They are gone.

In this way, although they can't completely get rid of the pursuers, they can certainly greatly delay their speed of catching up and buy themselves time.

"Cuckoo..."

After the plan was confirmed, Asuo and the boy watched the two chocobos run away before starting to move along the river.

It's just that the two of them hadn't taken a few steps, they suddenly stopped, and turned their heads to look at An Jie behind them with some astonishment.

At this time, An Jie was still standing where she was, with her shoes in both hands, and her white and tender feet were stepping on the clear stream, but her whole body was trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to move.Noticing that the two looked over, she whimpered and lowered her head with a flushed face.
