Section 109 Greedy Cat
Sure enough, it came! The next moment, Mimilu immediately rushed down the mountain peak at the fastest speed and rushed towards the source of the sound. She used her talented ability, and the color of her body kept changing, adapting to the surrounding environment. When she passed through the shrub, her body appeared in a mixed color of tender green and ochre brown. When she climbed onto the rock, her body naturally turned gray and white. It is precisely because of this talent that even Mimilu ran at full speed, it was difficult to find it. This journey may be a very troublesome road for others, because there is really no road around them, and it takes a long time to get around the source of the sound. But Mimilu ignored the complex terrain and directly chose a straight line to run towards the source of the sound. All peaks, huge rocks, and shrubs were not a problem in front of her. Soon, she came to a condescending position and could clearly observe.
"What... I thought I had waited." Mimilu sighed in disappointment. There was indeed someone who was trying to cross a steep slope with their horses. Although these two people could tell at a glance that they were spies, Ash Rufate did explain to her that she didn't have to worry about any scattered people. Not to mention these two, even ten or twenty, they didn't have to worry about them. Mimilu only needs to pay attention to those teams of hundreds or thousands of people.
Mimilu continued to observe for a while with some disappointment. But she was soon sure that there were only two or two nearby, so she turned around and left to her original position.
It is blocked from another road. This valley has never been manually renovated because it was once occupied by dragons. It is not a real "road". Its current state can only be considered "the terrain that is easier to pass among the mountains". The terrain of the valley is complex, some sections are very broken, too many places have reached the level of "passing", and some sections are very narrow. If Mimilu wants to monitor whether there are troops passing by here, then there are two options: either she repeatedly runs from one side of the valley to the other side, or she chooses a certain "pass".
Mimilu chose the latter without hesitation. As long as she stayed on that mountain, she could surely grasp the situation of the entire road. Because the terrain of the valley became narrow in this area, although there were many lonely peaks in it that could block her vision, but could not block her hearing.
And in this case, she doesn't need to care about her own safety issues. When she is still in place, she can be said to be perfectly integrated with her surroundings. To recognize Mimilu's existence at a distance, it is definitely beyond the scope of human ability.
She has been here for two days. In two days, she saw seven or eight waves of people. Almost all of them are small teams of one or two people. The large-scale army that Ashu Rufate cares about did not appear. It seems that she must stay here.
But it's really boring here.
It was already dark, and Mimilu returned to her temporary nest in a little frustrated manner. This was a small cave she found temporarily. It was located at a high place. On the one hand, it could shelter from wind and rain, and on the other hand, it could allow her to sleep safely. However, Mimilu had become accustomed to various camping equipment, and even lived in that comfortable castle for a long time. Now she suddenly regained her life alone in the wild, which was a little uncomfortable.
In her temporary nest, there is a bed that temporarily gathers up with hay, dead branches, leaves and other things. However, for Mimilu, who is used to blankets, quilts and tents, this thing is much worse than the bed. If I had known to leave, I should have asked Ashu Rufate for human camping equipment. Although those things are stupid and heavy, they can set up a comfortable resting point.
While feeling depressed, Mimilu was nostalgic for the soft blanket, she plated it up like a cat and prepared to go to bed. Today she ate a rabbit caught by the roadside. The rabbit meat was still cooked and delicious. If it could be roasted or cooked into soup like Ashu Rufate and added various spices, it would be even more delicious... When she left, she should ask Ashu Rufate for some cooking...
A faint fragrance blew from the wind. When Mimilu was half asleep and half awake, she quietly integrated into her nose. Mimilu had a good dream. She dreamed that the war had ended and she returned to Ash Rufate. Then Ash Rufate praised her while giving her a lot of snacks. It was a very fragrant snack, but for some reason, she couldn't taste it in her mouth. However, Mimilu still ate a lot of snacks in big mouthfuls.
A ray of sunlight shone in from the entrance of the nest, just shining on Mimilu's eyes. Mimilu instinctively wanted to grab the blanket to block the dazzling sunlight, but she grabbed a piece of air. All she had grabbed was a handful of hay.
"Ah!" Mimilu opened her eyes, and her thinking quickly returned to normal. By the way, I am not in the castle now, but in...the mountains... to help the master monitor this road...
She stretched and crawled out of this temporary nest. The sun shone on her body, warm and comfortable. Then she clearly felt the "gurgling" sound in her stomach.
By the way, she only ate one rabbit yesterday, and found a wild fruit the day before yesterday... Mimilu was a little surprised to find that she was not only used to blankets and bedding in her body, but also to eating and drinking in her appetite. She remembered that she had just eaten such a rabbit before, and she wouldn't feel hungry like she is now. Could it be that she caught the rabbit too small yesterday?
No matter what, the problem of hunger must be solved. Mimilu calmed down and paused for a few minutes, but she could not hear any suspicious sounds. It seemed that the enemy Ash Rufat asked her to monitor had not come yet, so she could find something to eat first.
Mimilu was about to set off, but suddenly realized something - the fragrance was still there. Because she had smelled it all night, she had become accustomed to the smell, and only then came back to her senses and realized that this was not her hallucination and dream.
It is true that the fragrance of food came to her nose. The fragrance is particularly tempting now when she is hungry, and it almost makes her salivate.
Mimilu immediately climbed down her nest and searched for the source of the fragrance.
In fact, it is not difficult to find the target at all. Without much time, Mimilu discovered the source of the fragrance - it was a bag hanging on the branch. Two squirrels were also attracted by the fragrance and were staying on the branch to find something to eat. However, because the ropes hanging the bags were thin and long, although they could smell the fragrance, they could not get food. After detecting Mimilu's approach, the alert squirrel immediately ran away.
Mimilu didn't recklessly rush towards the bag directly. She first carefully circled the bag to prevent anyone from lurking around, and then carefully observed the surroundings of the bag. However, this time, caution was unnecessary because there was indeed no danger nearby. It seemed that this was just a traveler hanging his bag here for some reason.
Mimilu easily untied the bag from the branch. The bag was leather, but there were many small ventilated eyes on the bag and complicated knots at the mouth of the bag. However, this knot was not very difficult for Mimilu. As the smell guided, the bag contained a delicious snack. She took a small bite to determine whether it was poisonous, and immediately happily put all the snacks in her stomach. The only regret was that the bag was not big enough, and the number of snacks contained was limited, which could not satisfy the hungry Mimilu.
Having said that, maybe it was because of hunger, this snack was really delicious. It was not that ordinary taste, but that ultimate delicacy. No matter the smell, color, or taste, it was impeccable. In fact, this was the best thing Mimilu remembered. After she finished eating, she licked her fingers carefully.
Under this tree where the snack bags are hung, there are people's footprints and horseshoe prints. It seems that the one who leaves the snacks behind should be the one who leaves the snacks.
Mimilu followed the trail and then found the second bag in surprise. She also carefully observed the surroundings, and then enjoyed the second breakfast after confirming that there was no danger.
Mimilu continued to follow the footsteps of the mysterious man who left behind the snacks. In the afternoon, she finally followed the target. It was a man wearing a travel cloak, holding a horse with a large saddle bag hanging on the horse's back. When Mimilu discovered him, the mysterious man was hanging a third bag on a tree.
Mimilu stayed far away, and she couldn't understand why this person hung such delicious desserts on the tree.
"Is it because he doesn't like this taste?" Mimilu asked herself in her stomach. Of course, the common sense she learned in the human world told her that it was impossible. Even if humans don't like this kind of snack and intend to throw it away, they will not use this inexplicable method. This person must have his reason for doing this.
But no matter what the reason is, since he wants to throw such delicious snacks here, Mimilu is determined to do him a favor and solve the problem for him.
She followed the mysterious man patiently. With the help of the talent of hiding and changing color possessed by the half-beast clan, Mimilu was sure that the other party had not noticed him at all. After dark, the mysterious man took off the saddle bag from the horse's back and set up a small camp. After a while of waiting, Mimilu finally heard the other party's snoring.
She quietly touched the edge of the camp and untied his big saddle bag with the unique dexterity of half the beast. As Mimilu observed, the big bag was full of delicious snacks. However, Mimilu could not take the whole bag away at once, so she could only take a small amount of snacks each time. When the mysterious man woke up in the middle of the night (Mimilu knew that many human travelers had this habit, got up in the middle of the night to check their luggage), Mimilu had already returned to the safe place where he hid the snacks and had a feast.
It must be said that this is really a delicious snack, and it has the legendary "the more you eat, the better you taste". Although Mimilu took away half of it this time, the remaining half bag of snacks still made her reluctant to leave.
She fell asleep in the smell of dessert among the bushes, but when the mysterious man woke up and planned to set off, Mimilu was already waiting for the other party.
What was a bit strange was that the mysterious man noticed that the dim sum was half, but he was not panicked or angry at all. He just calmly tied the bag again and then continued to set off on the road. The next morning, the mysterious man still hung a bag on a tree like yesterday, but did not install a trap or something. This time, when the mysterious man walked a little further, Mimilu jumped over without hesitation and drank all the dim sum in three or three.
The results of tracking on this day are no different from yesterday. Mimilu found two small bags of delicious snacks. However, this time when he was camping in darkness, he might have noticed the mysterious thief yesterday. The mysterious man placed the saddle bag not far from him. Of course, when he made a snoring sound, Mimilu still approached the bag and opened his pocket as yesterday. This was a risk of being discovered, but there was no real danger. Because Mimilu had great confidence that he could escape before the other party took any action. Her speed was faster than humans, and with human night vision ability, he could not chase her in the dark - even if she did not use her talent for changing color.
At the beginning, Mimilu would occasionally take a look at the mysterious man if there was any movement, but soon she entrusts the work to her ears. She was busy taking away the delicious snacks from her saddle bag, but she didn't notice that the mysterious man who was making a snoring sound opened half of her eyes slightly.
