Chapter 40: Dark Canyon Chapter: Survival and Monsters
A blinding light appeared in the hazy vision, and Fu Ko raised his arm, his elbow blocking the light. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he moved his hands and feet, and his joints were all sore. His fingers grasped the soft vine next to him, and slowly got up, but he was not conscious, and sat up for a long time without any movement.
When he remembered all the thrilling events and the dangerous jump, he finally knew that he had fallen to the bottom, but he was not dead. He looked at the place where he was, and it looked like a huge cradle of branches and vines, and it was this "cradle" that saved his life.
Below him was a pool of dark water, and the edge of the lake was also pitch black, but the outline of the shore and trees could be faintly seen. It's quiet, you can't hear the birds chirping or the insects. It was a dead world, and there was no trace of human presence at all.
Fuko climbed down from the branches, his clothes were hooked to tatters, and the wounds had not yet stopped, but fortunately they were not deep enough to make him bleed to death. After he took a few steps, his right leg suddenly lost strength, forcing him to kneel. The damp mud was stained all over his hands and feet.
"It is said that 'if you don't die in a great disaster, there will be a blessing after you', but what about my 'afterlife'?" Fu Ko couldn't move too far anymore, he crawled to the edge of the lake, put his hands into the lake, and took some water to drink, moistening his chapped lips. "Don't say 'Houfu', this situation is extremely bad now, although you can't die, but if you can't think of a way to leave this ghost place, it's also death. Why am I always in this awkward situation of life or death?"
He sighed, and the bottom of the canyon was still calm.
He turned on Aphrodite's battle mode, and he was probably unconscious for a short time, allowing Aphrodite to automatically turn off the battle mode. As soon as he logged in, a message automatically reminded him:
"Aphrodite Auto Reminder: Assist 'Kill the Lullaby Demon' to get 1000 gold. ”
[Level: 24]
[Experience: 1003]
[Gold: 4612]
What's the matter, has the monster been killed?, Fuko suddenly felt that he was really unlucky, it looked like reinforcements had arrived shortly after he jumped off the cliff, such as Elusa. If he had managed to delay for a while, he would have been lying in a hospital bed by now.
At this moment, he heard some strange rustling sounds. When he looked up, it was all black, and the light from the canyon above him could only illuminate a small area around him.
Then, the voices grew clearer and denser, as if countless vipers were gathering here, shaking their slender torsos - maybe it really was - he was a little nervous, and although his magic was now fully restored, he would always be at the mercy of people even if he had injured a leg.
The sound of rustling grew more and more around him, and he was surrounded. He touched his forehead, and thought to himself, since I had been lucky enough to survive from such a high cliff, why should I be allowed to die in such a place where no one could find my bones?
At this time, these loud voices rustling in the darkness actually stopped at the same time, and the canyon was silent for a while. Just as Fuko was scratching his head, he heard some heavy, continuous footsteps. Looks like he's going to be dealing with a big guy.
Finally, the big guy appeared in the light.
In fact, only its face appeared in the light, it was the face of an old man who looked like melancholy and sadness, with crumpled dark green skin and a green beard, hanging long from the surface of the lake. Its eyes were blue fireflies, staring at Fuko's body and turning incessantly. Its face is more than ten times the size of Fuko.
"You're awake. ”
When Fu Kou heard this hoarse and aging voice, he didn't realize for a moment that it was the big guy in front of him who said it, because the other party didn't open his mouth at all, as if it was a sound coming from his belly. It didn't have any questioning tone, but one that was very affirmative.
Its hand reached out of the darkness to him, and in fact it should have been a claw, for it had razor-sharp claws that shone in the reflection of light. Its arms are covered with bronze scales, and its palms are wide with a large pile of fruit on them. It placed the fruit in front of Fuko.
Fuko asked it, "You have no ill will towards me, do you?"
"Ho-ho--" it let out a dull and pleasant laugh, "if I have any ill will towards your little thing, the moment you fall, I just don't catch you, so why bother?"
Fuko's memory was a little confusing, he had fallen on the head during the fall from the cliff, so he didn't know that he was saved by the one in front of him.
"Are you ......" Fuko remembered a lot of details Natsu had said about Ignir, and asked, "Are you a dragon?"
It didn't answer the question, it just said, "Eat, these are good for your little body." Then it reached back, its face lost in the darkness, and after a heavy sound of movement, it seemed to lie down somewhere by the lake.
Fu Kou, who didn't get an answer, had to pick up the fruits around him and eat them, these fruits were a little sour, some sweet, and after eating, he felt slightly fuller.
He shouted into the darkness, "Hey!"
There was no response.
He shouted again, "Hey!"
Still no response.
He kept shouting, and then in the darkness it said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I hear you, don't shout anymore, do you know that after living in such a silent canyon for a long time, hearing such a noisy sound will make a monster's ears explode?"
"Thank you very much for your help, I want to say this. ”
"Yes, cunning imp, do you want to ask me how to get out of here?"
"Yes. ”
"You walk along the lake, you see a path, then you go to the end of the path, climb up the hill, go down the hill again, and climb again...... After a few hours, you'll be able to get out of here and reach the plains, and you'll probably be able to find your kind. ”
Hearing this, Fu Kou felt a little frustrated, for more than ten hours, he couldn't walk for such a long time, not to mention that he might get lost in the middle.
"Or, there's another way you can get out, and that's to convince me to help you. It finally said in a teasing tone.
