Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Black Sword
Dekang lay down in front of the small cylinder and took a closer look, and suddenly found that there was a circle of imperceptible black dust at the junction between the arc top and the board. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Dekang stretched out his front paw to hook the gap and scratch it, there was black dust on the tip of the claw, he scraped his claw on the ground a few times, and found that there was still some dust left on the claw.
Dekang couldn't help but think: 'The dark space is so dry, and I haven't seen a little dust in such a large space, where does the dust come from?' ā
After a moment of trance, Dekang turned his head to take a closer look again, and found that there seemed to be some dust in the lower part of the front and back of the arc top.
Dekang used his clean claws to scrape back and forth on the front again, and sure enough, there was obvious black dust on the tip of the claw.
Bao Yue saw that Dekang had been checking on the other side, and also ran over to join in the fun.
When she approached the small cylinder, she wanted to get under the board to see what the second brother was looking at, but when she looked up, her little head hit the board, and the board on her side was raised, and the top of the board on Dekang's side touched the ground.
Dekang's eyes lit up: the second time he scraped with his claws was the junction between the arc top and the board when it touched the ground, so is the other side the same?
Dekang hurriedly greeted Baoyue: "Baoyue come out, let the second brother take a look." ā
Dekang lifted the board on one side and found that the dust on the other side was also in the same position at the bottom of the arc top, and on the two cross-sections where the top of the arc had been partially cut off, there was also a trace of black dust on the cross-section as the board shook from side to side until the end touched the ground.
These inconspicuous dusts and their distribution locations give Dekang another important clue.
Dekang understands that only by shaking the board frequently, countless times, will produce such an effect, because the hardness of the black board is well understood, and it will not be rubbed off after shaking it a few times.
Except for the stone knife, there was nothing in the large and small basins, and there were no specific things in the fence and low wall space, so it can be said that the entire dark space was empty, but this shaking board showed that it had been used by humans countless times day and night.
This proves once again that humans have really stayed here, and that the days and nights are quite long.
It stands to reason that such an important discovery would make him ecstatic, but in fact, Dekang's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
Dekang couldn't understand why the humans had brought everyone together, and they themselves had been here for many days and nights.
Seeing that the second brother was silent, Baoyue stepped forward and shook Dekang's forelimbs: "Second brother." What are you thinking? ā
Dekang didn't know how to explain to her, so he paused before he spoke slowly: "The second brother found that there are really humans here, and the days and nights are a bit long. ā
Baoyue glared at Dekang: "Baoyue already knew. Didn't we see strange humans below? ā
Dekang shook his head: "That's different. Even if humans die for a long time, they will still have a smell, even if only bones remain, the smell will still be there, but strange humans don't even have a smell at all, you must know that every grass and tree has its own unique smell, let alone humans. The entrance to this space depicts humans who are similar to the herdsmen of the prairie. ā
Baoyue replied with a sentence that made Dekang speechless: "Anyway, it's strange that humans are also humans, and Baoyue doesn't care if they have a smell or not." ā
Dekang scratched his scalp.
Strange human beings were beyond the scope of his cognition, but Dekang didn't want to show weakness in front of Baoyue, so he thought about it before saying, "At least... At least if you encounter an ordinary human, even if you can't see it, you can smell it from a distance, so be prepared. But it's strange that humans are hiding behind the gate and we don't know... It's too dangerous. ā
Baoyue pursed her lips and looked unconvinced: "I can't move, I can't catch up with Baoyue." ā
'I ... Pour... ā
Too lazy to argue with the little cub, Dekang got up and ran towards the high platform.
Baoyue didn't keep up, she stayed where she was to play with her overlord board, and the little cub had something fun, and she had forgotten to stay with her second brother all the time.
Subconsciously, since there was nothing on the small platform in the wolf space, there would be nothing on the small platform in front of him, so when Dekang's head showed the plane of the small platform, he didn't glance at the small platform at all, but habitually turned his head to see what Baoyue was doing.
Dekang's eyes hadn't yet fixed on Baoyue, and when he turned his head, the afterglow of his eyes told him that there was something on the small high platform, and his four legs had just stepped on the plane of the small high platform, and Dekang's eyes were already firmly fixed on the center of the high platform.
There was a black stick-like thing on the ground that was longer than his own body, and his first instinct told Dekang that it was a killing weapon.
Dekang didn't act rashly, stayed where he was, and found that this thing was composed of two parts.
The long end is straight and smooth, while the shorter part has obvious bulges at both ends, and the middle part has some curved arcs, the most important part is that the curved part has dense and neat grooves, and at the junction of the two parts, you can see at a glance the tight but obvious gap of half a circle.
It's a sword. A human iron sword with a scabbard.
Dekang felt his limbs tremble slightly.
Humans have taken away almost everything that can be removed from the dark space, and they are forced to leave behind cars that cannot be driven away and strange humans who cannot move, as well as the small stone knife that fell in the gap, how can they leave behind a precious iron sword?
It's a trap!
After hesitating for a while, Dekang shouted at the iron sword monster to give himself courage, he couldn't tell what kind of tone this was, the iron sword still lay quietly on the ground without any reaction, and he didn't want to scare Baoyue who was playing below, and the little cub actually cried out, and then the cry gradually approached the small high platform.
Dekang knew that Baoyue would definitely run up and throw herself into his arms, but Dekang didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and he didn't look back and shouted, "Baoyue." Stand still and don't move, don't come up, the second brother has found something dangerous. ā
The crying stopped abruptly in front of the high platform, and Baoyue knew what was at stake and would not let the second brother be distracted at a critical moment.
Dekang began to check from under him, slapping and slapping carefully for suspicious clues, and then the range gradually spread around, until he looked at the entire plane, and found no signs of traps; Dekang narrowed the search to the distance between the ramp and the iron sword, but after looking back and forth, he still found nothing.
Dekang still didn't dare to take it lightly, and took two steps back to the ramp and turned around to comfort Baoyue; "Baoyue. There is an iron sword on it, which is likely to be a trap, and the second brother is looking at it. ā
After a long time, when she heard the second brother speak, Baoyue couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed up with a smoke, this time she didn't throw herself into Dekang's arms, she stretched out her little head and squinted at him, "Second brother." Are there really traps? ā
Dekang shook his head; "I haven't found it yet. It's weird, though. After speaking, he pointed to the iron sword.
Baoyue turned her head in the direction Dekang pointed and looked at it for a while: "This is the abominable human sword?" ā
Dekang looked at her and nodded slowly.
Before the advent of guns, humans relied on knives, swords, bows and arrows to hunt all kinds of delicious prey in the savannah and large forests.
In order to monopolize the gift of the earth, they also trumpeted the ferocity and viciousness of the tiger, wolf, leopard, jackal, etc., and frantically rounded up the earth wolf clan, forcing the wolf clan to hide in the wilderness after suffering irreparable losses.
Of course, rounding up and expelling wolves is just a gesture for humans, and it is an appetizer. After occupying the most fertile land and resources on the earth, they even used sharp swords to kill each other in order to monopolize the benefits.
Some wolf clans have also seen the scene of large-scale human slaughter and bloodshed, and the cruelty is so cruel that even the jackals will shudder when they see it.
To make matters worse, after the humans expelled the Earth Wolf Clan, they only occupied the surface of the prairie.
And under the grass, countless little mice are freely and carefree to gnaw on grass stems, grass roots, and grass seeds, digging holes everywhere and frantically expanding their territory.
When humans woke up, they found that the prairie had long been unrecognizable, and they could only watch the rats wreaking havoc everywhere and they were helpless.
Humans don't know that the earth wolf clan often catches small mice to satisfy their hunger when food is scarce: two wolves in a group, one scares the trapped rat at the entrance of the main cave, and the other holds his breath and ambushes on the side, waiting for the frightened rat to escape from the side, and the ambush one can catch the little mouse with a few ups and downs.
The wolf clan will only steal human cattle and sheep when it is absolutely necessary, and those who steal cattle and sheep are usually the poor wandering wolf tribes who catch the most rats.
The iron sword aroused Dekang's reverie, and Baoyue's shaking pulled his thoughts back to the small high platform: "Second brother." So what to do? ā
Dekang stared at the iron sword: "This is an important clue, you have to try it anyway." You stand here and don't move. ā
After saying that, he half-turned, facing Baoyue's buttocks, facing the low wall inside, and stepped back step by step along the edge of the small high platform, before leaving, he turned his head to carefully inspect the foothold of the next step, and then slapped his tail on the ground a few times to make sure there was no movement before taking a step.
Baoyue closed her small mouth tightly, stretched her neck and watched without blinking, her eyes closely following every move of her second brother.
Dekang knew that the cub might be more nervous than himself, and Dekang winked at her, indicating that he was quite sure, because if there was a trap, it was most dangerous to go straight to the iron sword from the ramp, and he was going to go directly behind the iron sword first, and then turn outward to approach the target.
Hey, hey, hey...
The character who designed the trap must not know that he has a clever opponent.
After a few ups and downs, it took Dekang nearly a good meal to finish.
Standing directly behind the iron sword, Dekang took a long breath, and then it was the most dangerous moment.
It's still the old way, but this time the tail is slapped heavier, and the limbs are tense, ready to run out for your life at any time.
Luckily, the wind was going well, the tip of the tail was already about to touch the iron sword, and Dekang slowly turned to face the target.
Dekang took a deep breath at the iron sword, carefully discerning the smell of the air, there was no trace of abnormality, it seems that humans have been away from here for many, many summers and winters, and the sword body no longer has any smell.
Dekang looked back behind him, glanced at Baoyue again, stretched out his left claw and slowly inserted it into the gap between the sword body and the ground, the other three legs were tense, and the body was slightly pressed down; After a pause, he took a sharp breath and raised his left paw diagonally upward, and at the same time quickly turned and rushed out the way he came, running to the edge of the high platform before stopping the forward rush.
Baoyue, who was shrouded in tension, couldn't help but scream as Dekang burst out.
The iron sword leaned against the ground at one end, and the other end was lifted half a head high, and it spun around in the air and fell back to the table with a thud.
Dekang waited for a while, seeing that there was no other movement, and walked towards the iron sword step by step again, this time head-on.
Stretching out his right claw to hook the thinner part of the iron sword's hilt, slowly lifting a little and lifting a little more, Dekang was engrossed in the changes in the table around the iron sword.
The hilt of the sword was already close to his chin, and there was no movement at all, and Dekang grabbed the hilt of the sword and began to walk backwards.
The other end of the iron sword was dragged upside down on the countertop, but there was no sound of crossing. At this time, Dekang found that there was a black strap attached to the two ends of the scabbard, and the strap was originally wrapped around the scabbard, but the middle part was somewhat scattered when it was picked up and rolled by himself for the first time.
Retreating to the edge of the high platform, this is a relatively safe area, Dekang put down the iron sword and then opened his mouth to grab the middle part of it, and quickly got up and down and ran to the side of Baoyue.
Baoyue waited a little impatiently, and without waiting for Dekang to take a breath, Lian Zhu asked, "Second brother." You've walked to the sword, why are you still so slow to come back, is it still dangerous to catch the sword? ā
'Little cub, nothing happens, whatever you say is reasonable. ā
Dekang put down his iron sword and replied angrily: "The trap that you can't see is the biggest danger. With that, he picked up his scabbard and ran to the ground.
It was only then that Dekang realized that the iron sword was quite weighty, he didn't want to stay on the high platform for a moment, since he saw the iron sword, he always gave himself a strange feeling here.
When he went down to the ground, he settled down to take a closer look at the iron sword, and noticed that the scabbard was dragging on the ground without making any sound, which should not be made of steel, Dekang stabbed hard with a claw in the middle of the scabbard, but he didn't expect the scabbard to be very hard, neither punctured nor deflated.
'Good stuff. Dekang nodded secretly.
"Second brother. How do you look at the nod? ā
Dekang didn't raise his head: "This scabbard is a good thing." Baoyue stared at the second brother, then looked at the scabbard, and nodded as she looked like Dekang.
Dekang's heartbeat increased a little, the scabbard is not ordinary, what about the sword!
Dekang took a deep breath, his left paw pressed the scabbard, and his right claw tightened the hilt a little bit, and there seemed to be a hidden suction force in the scabbard, until the muscles of his right forelimb tightened and swelled, and the sword grid was out of the control of the scabbard, and the black sword body slowly slid out of the scabbard like flowing water.
Dekang's head felt an eerie chill, and Baoyue, who was squatting on the opposite side to watch the excitement, let out a scream and fell to the ground, kicking out his lower limbs and almost kicking the blade.
Dekang was petrified in an instant, as if jumping into Aqi Lake and feeling cold all over his body, he knew that this sword was extraordinary, how could he let Baoyue get so close to watch, fortunately he didn't kick it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
took two steps back and put down the sword, jumped forward to help Baoyue, who was still a little stunned, the little cub's body shrunk into a ball, and he looked ahead with his eyes half-open open. Dekang took her into his arms and stroked the back of her neck: "Baoyue." It's okay, it's okay. ā
Only then did Baoyue cry out, clutching Dekang's fur head and desperately drilling into his neck.
Dekang comforted repeatedly: "It's good to cry, it's okay." You're still young, and this sword is too heavy. After holding Baoyue and appeasing him for a while, the little cub's mood calmed down.
Although Dekang was anxious to check the sword, he could only be patient with her to see Baoyue's pitiful appearance.
The little cub was really frightened this time, and after a long time, Baoyue finally spoke: "Second brother." The sword is so vicious, and Baoyue felt cold and cold just now. ā
Dekang sighed: "Second brother should tell you to stay away." Ah Da said that according to ancient legends, the wolf clan has a treasure knife that can scare the souls of the cubs, but he didn't expect this sword to be so powerful. ā
"Does Ah Da know where the sword is?"
Dekang shook his head: "Ah Da doesn't know if there is such a treasure knife, but I just listened to what he Ah Da said." ā
"Then will you tell your little cub?"
Dekang thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "Everything that Ah Da, Ah Ma and Second Brother said, I will tell them in the future." ā
Bao Yue's mood stabilized, and Dekang immediately ran to the sword to continue to inspect, while she lay on her stomach a dozen steps away and looked at this side from time to time.
Dekang pulled all the swords out of the scabbard, and the cold cold caused the pores on his face to shrink, his upper body leaned back a little, and his eyes became cold.
The front paw clasped the hilt of the sword, and the edge of the sword made the dark energy swing the hilt slightly, and two black lights flowed like mercury in the middle of the sword with the swing, and almost at the same time, Baoyue on the opposite side opened his mouth and sighed.
Dekang thought that he was dazzled, and swung the hilt of the sword again, this time the amplitude was greater than the first time, and the black light appeared again, and this time the black light in the range of the sword flow was also larger than last time.
Having never heard of such a strange phenomenon in a sword, Dekang's curiosity was aroused.
He hooked the hilt of his sword and dragged his sword to the low wall under the ramp, stood upright with his back against the wall, crossed his left and right claws to hook the hilt, took a sharp breath and swung the hilt vigorously from the bottom to the top and then from the top down, and a miracle happened.
Every time it swings, the range of the black light flowing from the sword is different, and the greater the power, the farther the range of the black light flowing.
However, even if he exerted all his strength, the black light only flowed within the range of the sword slapping from the middle to the left and right, far from reaching the tip of the sword and the sword grid.
Dekang sighed, "If only Deli were here, he has a lot of strength, maybe he can shake the black light to the tip of the sword." ā
"Second brother. What was it that slid on the sword just now? Seeing that the second brother stopped moving, Baoyue straightened her throat and asked, if the little cub hadn't been afraid of the cold of the sword body, I'm afraid he would have jumped up and played with it.
Dekang had the heart to tease her: "We got a divine sword, and what you saw just now was the divine aura emitted by the sword." ā
Thinking of the sword, Dekang hooked the hilt of the sword, the hilt of the sword was on the top, the blade was down, and he stepped around and stabbed towards the wall of the ramp...
