Dusk has come, the remnant sun is like blood, and the toad and the giant snake are still fighting unrelentingly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Fuko had been back here a long time ago, but instead of going up to persuade the two old stubborns to stop, he added fuel to the fire.

"Toad, behold, the serpent wants to bite your left leg, quick, give her a whip!"

"Giant serpent, giant serpent, bite him down on the throat, or you will poison his eyes with venom!"

Fuko kept saying things that seemed to guide them in a fight, which annoyed them. Originally, they were sleepy and tired, but now that there was such a noisy little guy beside them, their fighting spirit became less and less.

"No fight, no fight, old guy, I won't fight." The first to speak was the toad.

Then the serpent echoed him, saying, "Hmph, it seems that this problem cannot be solved today. ”

"No way, who told this little guy to make trouble next to him, let's fight again in the future."

"Ahh

It looks like a casual decision to fight, and a casual decision to make a truce. This should be the daily life of toads and giant snakes in this canyon. The toad, with its big, round blue eyes, glared at Fuko, and then jumped out of the place.

The serpent shook its tail and shook off all the debris from its body. Then she fell to the ground and crawled towards her cave in a hunched circle, but after a while she stopped suddenly, and did not look back.

"Little ghost, how long are you going to stay here? You're not going to want to stay here, are you? I don't welcome that old bastard's pet. ”

"Don't say that, and I'm not a toad's pet."

Fuko jumped down from the large rock he had been sitting on and shook the dust off his body. He walked straight up to the serpent's eyes, and he was pitifully small in comparison.

"Is that the end of today's fight?"

"Of course, didn't you hear us say a 'truce'? Why do you still ask such nonsense? ”

The serpent was short-tempered and impatient with Fuko's problems, and her head went around Fuko, preparing to crawl into her cave and rest in it for a night's rest.

"But now is the great opportunity, isn't it?"

The serpent paused and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Now you are sleepy and tired, after all, you have been fighting for most of the day, and the same is true of the toad. So when the toad goes back now, he will definitely sleep in his own 'home'. If you pass by this time, the enemy is in the light and you are in the dark, don't you have a good chance of winning? ”

"Hmph, cunning little ghost, that guy saved your life, and you turned around and made such a vicious suggestion to me, it's really wolf-hearted. Unfortunately, though, I don't bother to sneak up on winning. To get back the name 'Mesfield', I'm naturally going to use the righteous and bright approach. ”

"Do you think he's going to use the right way to deal with you?"

"Of course, that guy's temper is too easy to see."

Fu Kou touched his cheek with his fingers, his eyes rolled, and he said, "I see, in fact, you don't really want to get that name back, otherwise you would have done whatever it takes, and besides, you also know each other, so you will be defenseless against each other." ”

The serpent snorted coldly and crawled towards its hole, the sound of scales scraping against rocks, reeds, and mires forming a strange set of sounds. She crawled to the entrance of the cave, only to find that Fuko had followed. He carefully dodged the mud, brushed the reeds with his hands, walked as far as he could on the rocky surface, and soon jumped to the mouth of her cave.

"What are you doing here, I'm not a kind-hearted guy like that! Get out of my place, or I'll swallow you up for today's dinner. ”

The serpent erected her upper body so that she appeared tall and large, and when she spoke, she deliberately showed her sharp fangs, threatening Fuko as if she were holding two sharp swords.

"Don't get excited, it seems that you have a deep sense of territory, but interestingly, you have never fought with toads for the territory of this canyon, but are fighting each other for a name, and even if you deliberately say something that seems to hate toads, it doesn't make me feel malicious, on the contrary, you admit that he is a good-hearted toad."

"So what?"

"No, I just want to make it clear to you what you really think of each other."

The serpent crouched on the ground again, and then, with a dangerous glow in her eyes, circled around Fuko in the wide area in front of the dimly lit cavern, until her body completely encircled him in the center. She said in a vicious tone: "Then you are here to be a 'peacemaker' for us?" ”

"Can't I?" Fuko graciously admitted.

The giant snake suddenly opened its bloody mouth, which really startled him. She bared her fangs, her fierce jaws close to his body. He stubbornly resisted his desire to escape, and instead stood straight in place, following his instincts. Then the serpent's jaw closed, but she spoke to him anyway.

"Nosy little ghost, do you know how naïve you are, do you think that the grudge between us can be solved by yours as a newborn calf? You know how long we've lived, maybe decades, maybe hundreds, how long you've lived, how can you think you're qualified to take care of things between us? ”

"If you call 'we', it means that you have long regarded you and the toad as a gang, which is a good sign, it seems that things are not so difficult to solve." He looked into the serpent's eyes and said, "As for the qualifications?" Aha, you said that you may have been here for hundreds of years, but the problem has not been solved for hundreds of years, and at this time I appeared here for no reason, isn't this an opportunity, isn't this my qualification? ”

The serpent stretched its massive head back, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"How did you get here, little ghost?"

"I fell down, but luckily the toad caught me, otherwise I would have died."

"Why do you have to mind our business?"

"It's easier for me to leave this place because I've settled your business."

"Is that so? So what if I take you out of here now? ”

"Huh?" Fuko suddenly didn't know what to say, he thought for a moment before he said, "Although that will make me happy, it will also be very unhappy." In the past, I didn't like to be nosy, but maybe I've been following a group of nosy people for too long, and I've also become involved in this habit. Anyway, let me help you. ”

At this moment, the wind burst out, and the tail of the giant snake swept through the air, quickly sweeping towards Fuko's body. Fu Kou didn't have time to react at all, he was swept away, and his whole body fell onto the reed-covered quagmire. He landed on the mire in a standing position, and the mud on the mire was so soft and wet that it swallowed half of his body almost in the blink of an eye.

The giant snake said proudly: "I said, you, you are not qualified. She turned around, ignoring Fuko's life or death, and went into the hole, and in a few moments, her tail disappeared into the darkness of the hole.

"Damn it!" Fuko cursed, and grabbed a few bunches of reeds around him with both hands, but he felt that his body was still sinking, but the sinking speed had slowed down. The shore of the quagmire was in sight, and he clung to the reeds and crawled forward, trying to pull his legs out of the mire.

It probably took him nearly an hour to pull his legs out. By this time he was also about to be exhausted, and he lay on his side in the mud so that he could not sink easily, and then he clung to the reeds and crawled up to the shore. Luckily, he was only a meter or two from the shore, and he quickly climbed to safety, and then he got up, but his legs were covered with a lot of mud, which made his movement a little difficult.

"Looks like the serpent won't welcome me." Sitting on the ground, removing as much mud from his legs as he could, he glanced at the dark hole and said to himself, "But I have to pester you." ”

The serpent coiled in the deepest part of the cavern, thinking that he could finally get out of that trouble and get a good night's sleep, when he sensed an invasion. She didn't want to know that it must be that little ghost again. She was already sleepy, and she had to be entangled like this, so she was a little annoyed, thinking that she would never let him go easily this time.

It took a long time for Fuko to crawl to the depths of the serpent's cave. It was pitch black, only the serpent's eyes glowed red, which was very obvious. He stumbled as he got in, and now sat down and rested. He couldn't see the whole picture of the other party, but the other party should be able to see himself, after all, the other party was a snake—maybe a snake.

"I know you're angry right now, but don't rush to do anything to me just yet. You say I'm not qualified, I already know what you mean. However, I will meddle in this matter anyway. So, please listen to me before you attack me. ”

He listened intently, and there was no movement in the darkness, so he acquiesced as a serpent.

"Actually, you understand it yourself, but you don't want to admit it. There's really no reason to fight between you and the toad, it's just that you're both looking for an excuse to fight, and that's probably how you've been with each other for hundreds of years, and maybe that's the most sincere way for you to get along, and I'm not against your fights - there's no reason why I'm an outsider shouldn't be against it, but don't you think it's better to tell your heart out what's going on? I think the toad is very lonely except when he is fighting, because he stays in that place all the time, and you are the same, right? ”

The serpent was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you want to express, little ghost?" ”

"I mean, since you're still going to stay together, then fight each other every day, no, all the time, it's okay to be scarred, and don't be afraid to kill each other, because you're by his side, and you know how to do it, so how about dying together like this? If you don't want to stay together, then split the winner tomorrow, don't dwell on it any longer, so that sooner or later, one of you will die with regrets. ”

"Death is not terrible to you - it is terrible to me, but to die with regret is really terrible for the one who sleeps forever."

There was silence in the darkness again, and then the voice of the serpent was heard: "Really? There was confusion and hesitation in her voice, and Fu Kou knew that she was thinking about it, maybe she had thought about it before, but she had never been willing to face it.

"Hey, serpent. How about letting me sleep here for one night? I was a little tired and didn't have the strength to crawl back to the toad. That being said, he was ready to sleep here, with his hands on his head, his back against the stone wall, his eyes closed, and he continued, "Tell me the story of you and the toad?" I'm guessing you're trying to lie to me, but you haven't forgotten anything, including whose name 'Masefield' belongs to, it's just that you're just playing dumb. ”

"How could I say ...... to you," the serpent, who felt that Fu Kou was getting more and more inches, was halfway through his sentence, and suddenly paused and sighed, "Forget it, it's not something unspeakable. You are indeed cunning, as the guy said, so you guessed. Tell you about ...... It doesn't matter. ”

Fu Ko knew that the giant snake was the breakthrough. Although the toad is not very aggressive towards him, it is difficult to knock out any useful information from the toad's mouth, because the guy can bite the sentence "I won't tell you anything". The giant snake is different, it is because she is afraid that she will not be able to keep the secret, so she chooses to do it and let Fu Kou shut up, so as to hide the vacillation in her heart. Facts also proved that he made the right choice to entangle the giant snake.

"I don't really remember how long ago he and I met. It's just that everything comes from humans, so that's probably after the birth of humans. At that time, human magic was in an explosive development, and great progress was made in all aspects, and then some magicians turned their attention to magic such as 'manipulating magical beasts'. ”

"Yes, you guessed it, that guy and I are such monsters. The magicians' manipulation of magic was still in its infancy, so in order to become more proficient in their magic, they began a large-scale hunt for our magical beasts. I remember back then, we were called 'Sword Vipers' and that guy and his people were called 'Vine Frogs'. At that time, I was still very weak, probably only as young as you. ”

There is no need to emphasize that I am small, Fu Kou thought to himself, I am still tall compared to my peers.

"Because we were weak, both the guy and I were caught by the sorcerer and taken back to their place for training. They used the 'manipulation magic' they developed on us, but it always failed at first, so I always watched the other monsters that were captured die one by one, and I had to wait for my own death. ”

"Until one day, a magician named 'Jelf' appeared in front of us."
