The entire canyon echoed with the fierce sounds of the fight, sounding like a series of explosions, debris flying.
"Bang bang bang-"
Listening to the endless noise of toads and giant snakes, and the content of the noise was often a few unchanging words, Fu Ko only felt bored. So he went the way he came, and now he didn't have to fear that the toad or the serpent would stop him, they were all busy with their "business".
He followed the same path and returned to the original dark area, still a little uncomfortable for a while. Although I really want to stay in a place where there is light, it is too dangerous to be affected by the battle at any time. He had to stay here, and he didn't know how the toad endured his life here. But he thought about it, the other party is a toad, maybe that's how he lives, right?
On a large rock here was placed the food that the toad had just brought back, and it was fruit as before, and he ate it. While eating, he thought, those two monsters who have lived for an unknown amount of time, are they really toads and giant snakes?
The toad, although it looked like a toad, was covered in snake-like scales all over its body, and its whole body was wrapped in vines. The serpent resembles many venomous snakes. Both of them were huge, like two hills. No matter how you look at it, they look like toads and giant snakes, but they can't be toads and giant snakes.
When he had eaten his fill, he fell asleep. This time he was finally able to fall asleep, because he was already too tired to do so. Although the rumbling sounds of fighting could be heard in his ears from time to time, he didn't think he could hear them. I don't know how long it took to fall asleep.
When he woke up, he felt refreshed, but it was dark here, so he couldn't feel refreshed, but he inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
Soon he realized that something was wrong, he didn't hear the fights anymore, and it looked like the battle between the toad and the serpent was over.
At this time, he suddenly heard the toad speaking to him in the dark: "You are awake, I will take you out." ā
Fu Kou was very surprised, it was completely confusing to the second monk, why was the toad suddenly willing to help him?
He sat on top of the toad's head, and naturally had to endure the unpleasant smell of the toad. The toad, who had suddenly changed his mind, carried him on his back as promised, all the way through the trail and around the woods.
In front of the toad, those bushes are automatically avoided as if they are alive, no matter how the toad goes, in which direction, it is a smooth road. In this way, the toad easily led him out of the canyon and onto a plain, a process that took hours, even if it was easy.
"Let's go. Toad said.
Fuko jumped off the toad's back, and he had basically guessed something by now.
"What's wrong with her?"
The toad was silent.
Fu Kou guessed again, "She's dead?"
The toad still doesn't speak.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
It took a long time for the toad to reply to him: "We are all fighting for our lives, and it is only natural that this result will occur." While you were asleep, I killed her as she lay dying. ā
"She can't beat you. ā
"We were evenly matched, but this time I was lucky. ā
"You used to see her as a mortal enemy, but now I don't think you're too happy about her death. ā
"There's really nothing to be happy about. ā
"Isn't it easy to get the name Mesfield back?"
"There's nothing special about the name. ā
"Still, the problem is solved, isn't it?"
The toad nodded, and at this time it was already night on the plain outside the canyon, and the stars were dotting. He sat on the prairie, vines and beard tangled.
"Do you miss her?" asked Fuko.
"A little bit, thinking that no one will fight in the future, a little unhappy. ā
Fu Kou sat with the toad on the grassland for a while before bidding him farewell.
He walked for a while, and when he looked back, the toad was no longer there. The episodes that took place in the canyon during this period of time made him feel like a dream, and the most important thing was that he left with a sense of guilt.
Because he knew that the serpent was probably killed by himself.
He thought he was smart, yes, the toad and the giant snake had been fighting for a name for so many years, but in fact, they had already fought for a name, but they just wanted to be able to accompany each other and find a reason for it. They all knew it.
But he pierced the window paper like this, and the toad and the serpent had to really decide the winner, or else, as he said, the problem would never be solved, and they would have to fight forever, and sooner or later one of them would die. This time, it is very likely that the giant snake deliberately let the toad kill itself.
But maybe it's not because of his words, it's just that the toad happened to kill the giant snake with a heavy hand this time, and it's also possible.
No matter what the hell was going on, Fuko knew that these two old monsters, who had lived for a long time with each other, were now left alone with only one old monster, and their story was over.
On top of that, Fuko saw his own shadow in the toad, which was terrifying. What he had been afraid of happened in front of him.
"Sure enough, I should have listened to the toad from the beginning, and I shouldn't have gone to the east, nor should I have taken matters into account between them. I should do what is most right. ā
He thought, this is just a little episode about my life, and this little episode has no beginning and no end, and in the end I don't know what kind of creatures the toad and the giant snake are, why they are together, how the giant snake died, so it's okay not to remember, or not to remember it.
It's just that Fuko can't deceive himself, he will always remember this episode without a beginning and an end, he will tell others that he fell to the bottom and was lucky to survive, but he will not mention this experience, but he will always remember it, because he is afraid of it. He was afraid that it would happen to him.
It took a long time for him to wake up, sweaty on his back and palms.
He shook his head with a wry smile at the dream he had.
There was also the sound of a fight not far away, and it seemed that the battle between the toad and the giant snake had not stopped, let alone the giant snake had died as in a dream.
This dream was really inexplicable, he laughed at himself.
He got up and slept on the soft vines, which still made his back ache. He moved his body for a moment, and said to himself: "Since this has happened, I will solve it, and I can't let it develop in the direction of the dream, although it is a bit absurd in the first place." ā
He dragged himself and walked towards the east side of the canyon. Aphrodite reminded him that there were 21 hours and 35 minutes left before the system was updated.
