Chapter 44: Ogre and Awakening
Goron walked silently through the night after the dog king, out of the huge and friendless circus tent, and through a small playground, he soon came to several makeshift tents, where the circus' servants lived.
The dog king didn't make any sound from beginning to end, not even footsteps or breathing, as if he were a ghost dog, but his overly human cold gaze was more effective than any words.
Goron watched the dog king's powerful body from behind, and naturally thought about where to cut it most conveniently and quickly, as if he felt Golon's thoughts, the dog king Totok who was leading the way in front suddenly jumped a few steps, turned around and bared his teeth, and looked at Goron in front of him with a guarded and hostile gaze.
Goron didn't care anymore, anyway, he knew that the more trained the animal, the less likely it was to disobey the master's orders, and what the female leader of the group said was obviously "take him to a place to rest" rather than "find a place to eat him".
Ignoring the hostile big black dog, he looked at the tent in front of him and said casually, "Shall I rest here?" ”
The dog king whimpered a few times in his throat, and finally turned around and melted into the night with suppressed anger.
Goron shrugged his shoulders, leaned down, and slipped into the tent.
It was a small space, it was a little stuffy and hot, and his eyes strengthened by mysterious power allowed him to see through the dim moonlight, and there were several mats on the ground, on which several people had already slept, and they all seemed to be about the same size as Golon, not like adults. Several of them had been awakened by Goron's arrival, and they turned over to look at the new member a few times before turning back to sleep, apparently not intending to communicate with Goron further. But Goron had already seen what they looked like, and they were all very young faces, both men and women.
Goron found an empty mat and lay down, the corners of the mat were covered with dried blood, and there was a hideous and transparent blood-stained knife hole in the center, apparently his former master had changed places to rest forever. There are several more mats like this next to them, so it's no wonder that fairy tales have been so short of manpower lately.
Goron closed his eyes and began to rearrange in his mind what he had born today, he had successfully blended into the fairy tale lair, although the whereabouts of his mother and Hakulili were still unknown, but maybe they were only one step away, and after knowing the true strength of his opponent, how to defeat them became a moat in Goron's heart.
Many questions Goron can't find answers at all, and the only thing he can do is to wait for the opportunity, the opportunity to become stronger, the opportunity to save people, and the opportunity to regain control of his destiny. Goron didn't know how long he would have to wait, but all he could do was wait.
Goron is not without any capital, in addition to the bloodline of the ancient demigod cyclops who has just awakened, Goron also has the deathbed gift of the Snake Banshee King of the Great 6, which is completely different from the two major power systems of the Dota Big 6 - the power of magic from the elemental plane and the third power of faith from the gods, although Goron still doesn't know how strong this power is, and he doesn't even know how to use it, but there is no doubt that he has been saved by this power several times.
Since this power first awakened in combat, Goron has tried various methods, trying to explore the mysteries of this power, trying to fully control this power, but his progress is very limited, in fact, Goron has nothing to gain except that he feels that his strength has become a little stronger, his sense of sight and hearing is sharper, and his body's physical defense seems to be good. As for the shocking scene of the humphead wolf incinerated by the mouth with flames in his mouth that day, it is impossible to say anything that can be reproduced, and even if Goron vomits so quickly that all the bitter gall is turned out, or repeatedly enters a state of rage, he still can't spew even the smallest spark.
Although this magical power may be terrifying, even if only half of the seven twin brothers in the story of the 6 snake banshee kings are powerful enough to make Goron sweep away the difficulties that plague him in front of him, compared to this temporarily uncontrollable power, Goron is still more willing to rely on his ogre bloodline talent and believe in the divine power bestowed by his ancestor, the ancient demigod, the cyclops Gruel.
He, after all, is an ogre.
The night was getting darker and darker, and sleepiness disturbed Goron, his eyelids were shaking, and the sleepiness could not be contained, and suddenly, Goron pinched his thighs hard, and a hot and sharp pain suddenly made his sleepiness dissipate a little more.
That's right, Goron is very afraid of sleep now, and it was from that awakening explosion that he was tormented by nightmares every night from the moment he woke up and killed the old humphead wolf. He would have an exact dream every night, it was a very strange dream, Goron felt that there was something strange, to be precise, several small snakes were swimming wildly in his body, of course they did not have their own caves and passages, so they could only tear Goron's muscles, bite off his nerves, and open up a new path in the place where there was no passage, a snake path that could allow them to pass.
Naturally, every minute of their passage was excavated, and Goron was tormented by the pain of flesh and soul being torn apart, which could not be expressed in words. On the first night, Goron fell unconscious in severe pain, then woke up in pain, which lasted for a whole night, and then, as soon as he fell asleep, the damned little snakes would start a "hole opening project" in his body, and this pain was not gradually relieved, but each time the pain was twice as painful.
The night before, Goron had been slumped in bed all night in severe pain, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger, and as for what would happen tonight, Goron couldn't even imagine it.
But it is strange to say that Goron has not slept well for even a short time since he was tormented by this nightmare, but as soon as the morning comes, when the severe pain has subsided, he will feel refreshed and refreshed, without the slightest fatigue and malaise caused by insomnia. If it weren't for the pain that had left an imprint on his soul, he would have even thought that the nightmare was just a hallucination, and that there would be no next one.
But after several nights in a row, Goron no longer had any illusions. This pain will be with him like a curse, and perhaps only at the end of his life will it leave him. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility on his body, Goron would have ended his life by himself, and if he could really save Rafana and Hakulili, the first thing he would do was probably self-understanding.
If it was just pain, Goron might still have a way, or it should be said, simple pain would make him feel a little better, but the problem is that this pain has obviously begun to endanger his life, according to the aggravated pain, it won't take long for Goron to die in severe pain, maybe tomorrow, maybe today, Goron is not afraid of pain, but he is afraid of death, he has already borne such a heavy karma and responsibility, he has no right to choose death at all.
**********************************************************************************************************************
Although the sharp pain in the thigh can temporarily relieve sleepiness, for a teenager who is physically and mentally exhausted after a long day's work, such a method will eventually lose its effect. What should come will always come, and when both of Golon's thighs and legs were completely numbed by his own pinching, Goron finally fell into a deep sleep.
As always, the scene of that night replayed itself again in Goron's mind, and at this time Goron was no longer in the mood for excitement, he calmly watched this qiē, watching each scene with his own eyes from the perspective of an unrelated person, remembering the smallest details in his mind.
When the scene was recreated, the picture in Golon's mind turned into a lonely void, as if it was a dark abyss with nothing, this space gave Goron an extremely strange and extremely familiar feeling, it was not the first time Goron came here, and now he has realized it, here, I am afraid that it is the inside of his body. Then, in a place that seemed to be very far away and as close as it was, a few small snake-like lights meandered in, and now that he knew what would happen next, Goron had the leisure and mood to carefully observe these "snakes of light".
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
They were of different colors, and seven small snakes of light of seven colors unceremoniously began to scurry holes in Golon's body, and the pain was so severe that Goron was so unbearable that he almost lost his ability to think normally. But he could not even lose consciousness and escape the pain with the deepest coma, for the more painful it was, the more lucid his mind became.
The only way he could alleviate this severe pain that could lead directly to death was to divert his attention. For example, take a closer look at what these little things that torture him all the time are.
If it weren't for the incredible pain caused by these rainbow-like strange snakes drilling in Golon's body, Goron would even think that these little snakes were still a little cute.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple
The seven colors, the color of the rainbow, are the same as the representative colors of the seven sons of the earth born from the fruit of the vine plant in the story of the 6 demon kings and the beautiful snakes, Goron actually suspected that these seven little snakes were related to the dying gift of the beautiful snake, but this still did not help him alleviate the pain and gain strength, these seven little snakes were not under his control at all, and their burrowing and opening the way only brought Goron endless pain and suffering.
But this time it seems to be different, these seven little snakes were originally rampant and unscrupulous in Golon's body, but this time Goron noticed that no matter which snake it was, every time it traveled to a special position, it would become a little strange.
In the past, the passage that these little snakes had drilled out would re-close soon after they had passed the guò, and the other small snakes would have to reopen the passage when they passed the guò again, just as a wound that had just begun to heal was forcibly torn open from the wound, which was the root cause of the deepening of Golon's pain. But this time, these little snakes seem to be exceptionally smooth when they pass through a certain area of guò, almost no effort, and the pain suffered by Goron is naturally much less, but what really matters is that after the little snake passes through guò this time, the tunnel dug is not completely closed, or rather, the degree of closure has slowed down significantly, and when another small snake passes through guò here, although the pain is still the same, it is obviously reduced a little, and with the increase in the number of small snakes, the degree of obvious closure of this tunnel is slowing down more and more, and when all seven colored snakes have passed a certain tunnel several times, and this small area of their passage to guò is clearly beginning to solidify.
This was a ray of light in the darkness for Goron, all his hope of escaping the torment, and Goron began to wonder why this was the case, and what was so different about this small area. However, in this darkness, Goron couldn't tell the difference between the south, east, west, front, back, left, and right, except for the vague feeling that this darkness was his body, Goron didn't know anything at all.
Then you can only think about it in another way, today and yesterday, what happened to you and what has changed?
Left wrist ~~~!
It's the left wrist~~~!
Goron suddenly remembered that today was still in the Sleeping Giant Bar when he was fighting with the group of drunkards, one of them used a broken wine bottle to cut a long bloody wound on Golon's left wrist, although the wound was very shallow, only Cheng Dù who cut the skin, and even the blood did not flow much, but when Goron began to clean the animal pen, in order to avoid the wound being infected by dirt, he took out the little centaur from his bag and put it on his left wrist with the bracer of the snake banshee king's lower half /// body snakeskin.
This bracer is light and thin, and crystal clear, it is a faint cyan color in the hand, but the color is similar to the skin color when worn on the wrist, only the faint scale lines are visible, and if you don't look carefully, you can't even see that Goron has a piece of equipment on his wrist.
There was a doubt in my heart, and suddenly, a warm and comfortable feeling came from this mysterious area, and this warmth was like a spring breeze that blew away the painful night. And Goron actually felt the storage of his left wrist in this infinite dark world
