Chapter 432: Licking the Dog Didn't End Well

That night, they camped on a hillside that was a small hill with boulders.

There is a rare clearing where you can see the starry sky in the rainforest.

The Amazon belongs to the southern hemisphere, and the starry sky is different from the domestic one.

You can see more of the Milky Way here, and the starry sky is particularly magnificent.

One of the most spectacular of the brilliant stars is the Large Magellanic Cloud, two cloudy objects near the Milky Way that are visible to the naked eye and can only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere.

Above the treetops to the south of the rainforest, the bright constellation of the Southern Cross shimmered in the surging atmosphere, and under the starlight, Fang Luxiao leaned into Cao Wu's arms, curiously listening to Fisher's eternal story.

"Many, many years ago, there was a tribe that lived deep in the rainforest, lived by the river, built a big garden, and lived by gathering and fishing. ”

"One day, the leader of the tribe was sick and could not sleep for a long time, and the chief's daughter, named Akane, was very sad when she saw her father, who was gradually weakening. So, she decided to go to the sun god Inti and ask him to save her father. ”

She took her father's bow and knife with her, and left the tribe on the first morning after the rainy season ended, heading toward the rising sun. ”

"She crossed the mountains and crossed the rivers, and drank the dew when she was thirsty, and ate the fruit when she was hungry. Until the next rainy season came, she didn't find the sun god, but she never gave up. ”

"She encountered a ferocious leopard and was almost eaten. As she escaped, she saw a hollow tree trunk that looked like it had been hollowed out by termites after it had collapsed, and she got into it. ”

The leopard didn't chase after her, and when she got out, she realized that it was not a hollow tree trunk, but the skin of a giant python. Only then did she realize that she had accidentally trespassed into Sacha Mama's territory. ”

"Sacha Mama is the mother of the jungle, she is a huge and lonely python that dwells in swamps. She will devour any creature that passes in front of her, and those creatures will not notice her massive head until they are drawn to her. ”

But because she had just shed her skin, her tender skin was a little different from the color of the environment, and Akane found the location of her head, so she quickly ran away, and she continued on her way. ”

One day, while walking through the jungle, she suddenly ran into a child. The little child was short, dressed in a kusma and a brightly colored cloak. ”

He was very happy to see Akane and kept asking her questions. Akane told the child that she was going to Inti, the sun god, to save her father's life. ”

The little boy told her that he knew where Inti was, and that he had been to the palace where the sun god slept at night. Just follow him and you can find the sun god, and Akane believes in him. ”

The child told Akane that his name was Chua Chaki and that he lived nearby. The Sun God's home is far from here, so you need to bring a lot of food. ”

Chuachaki took Akane to a large garden full of potatoes and cassava. When Chua Chua Chuki went to the shed to get something, Akane suddenly noticed that his left foot turned out to be a goat's hoof. ”

Akane looked at the plants in the garden again, but found that there was not a single bug on top of them. So she knew that those plants were poisonous, and Chuachaki was a spirit in the jungle who specialized in seducing others. ”

Chuyachaki came out and brought cassava for her to eat, but Akane didn't eat it, and said that her sister hadn't eaten yet, and she was going to find her sister. ”

Hearing her say that there was another sister nearby, Chuyachaki believed it and followed her to find her sister, but Akane took him to Sacha Mama's territory. ”

Akane went around Sachamama's head, but Chuyachaki, who was following her, didn't notice Sachamama, and she bit and chewed into pieces, swallowing everything except the goat's hooves. ”

Akane escaped danger and continued on her way, this time, choosing to follow the river. ”

"One night she was resting by the river, when she suddenly saw a handsome young man appear in the water. Wearing a belt and necklace made of a ferocious black python and a helmet made of a turtle, he rode a huge black crocodile through the river. ”

He talked to Akane and was very touched when he learned her purpose. He said that he was Aguruna, the god who ruled over all the creatures and spirits in the river, and that he admired Akane's courage and wanted to marry her as his wife. He says that Akane's father is dead, and if Akane can marry him, she will be able to live underwater like him, and as long as there is water, she will have eternal life. ”

But Akane didn't believe that she had to find the sun god and save her father. ”

Aguruna suddenly turned into a black capybara, and he bit one of Akane's hands to pull her into the water. But Akane pulled out her knife and slashed him in the head. Blood flowed from the top of his head, staining his whole body red, and he fled in fear. Since then, his body has changed into a pink capybara. ”

Akane kept going, but this time the rainy season was longer than usual, and she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen the sun, and she found herself disoriented and tired. ”

Fearing that she would die before she could find the sun god, she gave up sleep and walked even in the dark. ”

A voice suddenly appeared in her ear, and that voice told her that she would die if she continued like this. But she ignored it and continued walking. ”

"The creature was moved by her, and emerged from the night, it was a black shadow called the Shield Thief. ”

"The shield thief is a magical creature, it is neither good nor bad, but oscillates between these two states, and it reflects the true heart of the human who encounters it. ”

"If the person who encounters it is evil, the shield thief will make him pay the price he deserves. And if the person who encounters it is good, the shield thief will help him and give good advice. ”

The shield thief tells Akane that the sun god resides in Cusco City, where he entered the ground, and Akane went in the opposite direction. ”

When Akane learned about it, she was very disappointed and fell into self-blame. Unable to bear to see her like this, he told her that if she would marry him, he would tell her the direction of the World Tree. The sun god passes by the top of the World Tree every day, and if she can climb to the top of the World Tree, she will be able to meet the sun god. ”

Akane agreed and regained her confidence. She says goodbye to the Shieldthief, who tells her that he will wait for her in the jungle and that he will show up as soon as he whistles. ”

Akane found the World Tree in the direction of the shield thief, and climbed for countless days and nights with a knife and a bow on her back, and finally reached the top of the World Tree. ”

As the sun god passed by, she stopped him and said her request. The sun god was moved to learn of her story and thought that Akane was brave enough to be his wife. ”

He tells Akane that her father is dead and that if she is willing to marry him, he will help her fish his father out of the River Styx and bring him back to life. ”

Akane had no choice but to agree to the Sun God's request, and the Sun God resurrected her father as promised. Akane returned home, said goodbye to her father and mother, and came to Cusco with the sun god, where she became his wife. ”

But because she remembered her parents, she would turn into the moon every day while the sun god was sleeping, walk through the night sky, and watch her tribe from above. And because she broke her promise to steal the shield, Akane's tears of shame turned into shooting stars, often streaked across the sky. ”

"The shield thief has been waiting for Akane in the jungle, and whenever someone whistles in the jungle, he will appear, but when he finds out that it is not Akane, he will get angry and take revenge on the whistling person in a frenzy. And if a girl whistles, he'll take her for Akane and pull her into the jungle to be his wife......"

Fang Luxiao couldn't help but exclaim, "That shield theft is too pitiful, isn't it?"

Cao Wu shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that licking the dog will not end well wherever he goes!"
