Chapter Twenty-Three: The Flame Ghost Clan
I was in a cage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
You read that right, I wasn't in prison or in some little dark room, but in a cage - a stone cage with thoughtfully rolled rollers, and if it weren't for the fact that I had no legs, I would have even mistaken myself for a domestic hamster.
Of course, the domestic hamster is not me, it is a squeaky with a blank face next to the cage.
I was brought back to this cave by the guy who suspected Nana's parents, the cave looks quite wide, the only difference is that there is no magma here, there are traces of artificial excavation around, and torches are used for lighting, well, it reminds me of creatures like BJ apes in textbooks.
However, the Australopithecus didn't make cages, and of course this cage wasn't that elaborate, it didn't actually have a cage door or anything like that, but a small stone was pressed on it, and gravity used gravity to imprison me in the cage.
Well, they should be a little smarter that way.
I was taken back to the cave and left in the cage, where Nana's parents ran deeper with her, eavesdropping on their conversation as if an old man in their family had the skills to detoxify.
It's been about half an hour since they left with Nana, and to be honest, I'm very worried.
After all, this situation is all caused by me, and I tried to explain what happened to them on the way, but unfortunately unlike Nana, they didn't think about talking, only squeaky eyes looked at me, as if they knew what I was talking about.
Now that you know, say it!
It's a pity that the squeaky rat is as its name, it can only squeak, nothing else, although this guy is big, it is estimated that his intelligence is at the same level as a kindergarten child.
I don't know what happened to Nana.
I looked off with some apprehension - escaping the cage wasn't too difficult for me now, and my venom spray was somewhat corrosive, so if nothing else, I should be able to get out of the cage without incident.
But I'm not willing to do that.
Now that he has been identified as the murderer who hurt Nana, if I run away without permission, once I am caught, I can't tell if it is really justified.
It's not like the Dragon's Lair or the Beast Cave of the past, Nana looks like a human, and her parents are wise.
This is the second race I've seen since the Sphinx that I can talk to, and I honestly want to talk to them, after all, I was just reincarnated in a place where bats don't, and it really makes people feel panicked.
I thought boredly, hoping that Nana's condition would improve, when someone seemed to be approaching in the distance.
Looking at the twist and twist of the figure, you can probably guess that Nana's mother is here.
"Hey, you're still alive, aren't you?"
She shouted at me.
"Don't think I don't know if I'm dead, you actually have intelligence. β
Sure enough, has it been discovered? Although he had expected to be seen by Nana's father when he sprayed venom, he kept pretending to be dead with a fluke mentality.
I'm a little embarrassed to be bluntly broken now.
I manipulated my body to float, up and down, and nodded in response.
Nana's mother, who roared in Hedong, nodded in satisfaction, and then opened the cage.
"Come with me, the elders want to see you. β
Elder?
I'm afraid it's the old man who can detoxify the one I overheard earlier.
Judging from the current situation, Nana's mother didn't have the idea of eating me alive, it should be that Nana has been successfully cured.
Otherwise, with the pungent nature of this woman, the first thing she did after she came over should be to tear the book directly.
I consciously followed her, after all, it was the other party who took the initiative to see me, if it was an old man, would he have the ability to talk to his mind?
I followed through a few caves, feeling a little dizzy, the caves here all looked similar, none of them were equivalent to a fork in the road, and I didn't know how they could tell the difference.
Anyway, after several roundabouts, I finally came to a deep cave.
Several torches flickered at the entrance of the cave, not knowing if it would burn out the air, and then I stepped into the cave and found that it was white and full of smoke.
"Are you coming?"
An old and tired voice came from the cave.
Nana's mother nodded, then led me inside.
Approaching the cave, my eyes gradually became accustomed to the white smoke, although my eyes were still hazy, but I could barely see the people and objects inside.
It was Nanaβmy heart struck, and the girl was lying flat on a straw mat, looking like she was asleep. It looks like the complexion has returned to ruddy, and it is no longer as blue as before, and the poison should have been unraveled, so I can rest assured.
"Sit down. β
The old man beside Nana had two sharp horns in his sparse hair, he was wearing a rough single coat, and he was holding a stone cigarette stick, and the white smoke must have come from the old man's cigarette stick.
The old man's withered body has protruding ribs and wrinkled dark brown skin, and he looks like a refugee living in Africa who has not been able to eat for many years.
At this moment, when he saw me, a fine light appeared in his eyes, and the light was only faint, and it quickly faded. The old man took a drag on his cigarette and opened his mouth to sit us down.
I was wondering where to sit, and Nana's mother sat down in front of the old man consciously.
It turns out that there are three protrusions in front of the old man who are stone plates, just like the futon in front of a monk who has attained enlightenment, and it is estimated that he can become a Buddha by sitting on it.
Although I don't have an organ like my buttocks, I can only lie on it half-pushed and half-on the ground, and I looked sideways, Nana's father was also sitting not far away, but now Nana's parents didn't dare to speak at all, so it can be seen that this old man's status should be very high.
"I heard that you hurt our family Nana?"
The old man asked me a serious question, and it was like poking at me in the soft underbelly.
Yes, I hurt it, but I didn't mean to...... After all, the situation was critical, and I just wanted to fight off those fiery bats.
"Oh, didn't it mean to?" said the old man, touching his beard, "and that's all for the rest." β
Eh, old man, can you really hear me?
"Well, our Yan Ghost Clan has lived to a certain age, and such skills can be mastered more or less. β
Flame Ghost Clan?
[The Flame Ghost Clan, a rare race on the verge of extinction, is extremely gifted with fire magic, and the two horns on its head can absorb heat to sustain life. γ
"Our Yan Ghost Clan originally lived on the ground, but we were hunted down by other races and almost wiped out, but fortunately, we were protected by the Demon King, so we were able to survive here. When the old man talked about the past, he couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he turned his gaze to me: "Then, I will ask directly, Lord Demon Guide, I wonder if you are willing to join our Yan Ghost Clan?"
