9. The princess of the mountain dog
Ashidaka led Arklu in front, while Nine Sky Smoke slowly followed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the words of Nine Sky Smoke, it is "not yet recovered", in fact, Ashidaka thinks that Nine Sky Smoke can kill a few cows now.
What Asdidaka really noticed was what Nine Sky Smoke seemed to be looking for.
No, or rather waiting for something.
Nine Empty Smoke, as if hiding what Ashidaka is......
"Mr. Smoke, can you hurry up?" Asdidaka led Arklu and urged behind him.
This sentence, Asshidaka had already said to Jiukong Xun a few times, but Jiukong Xun still didn't pay much attention to it.
"Alright, alright, please take care of the wounded." Nine Sky Smoke replied to Asdidaka as if perfunctory.
From the beginning, Ashitaka had always felt absent-minded.
After walking for a while, Ashitaka decided to explore the path first, anyway, Jiukong Xun is so strong, and he is not afraid of encountering any danger.
"Mr. Xun, I'll go ahead to explore the way first, you can hurry up and follow." After saying that, Asidaka led Arklu and opened the way with a machete.
Weeds and shrubs that stand in the way of the forest are the biggest obstacle at any given time, especially the more historic the forest is, the more lush the weeds are.
The machete began to dull as the path continued to open, and Ashidaka had to take a stone from the satchel that Arklu was carrying and start sharpening it.
But after a while, when Asshidaka calmed down, he could hear not only the rough sharpening of his own knife, but also the sound in the distance.
"It's the sound of the stream."
Stopping sharpening his knife, Ashidaka heard a voice that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Then Ashidaka began to sharpen his knives again, and even faster.
There is a water source not far away, which means that the shriveled water bag can be replenished temporarily.
Leading Arklu, Asidaka brushed through the grass with one hand, and finally found the flowing stream.
The moist and refreshing feeling in the air came to his face, and Ashidaka's depression for so many days was finally relieved.
"Wait......"
But the water of the stream was unusually muddy, not at all as clear as Asidaka had imagined.
Countless packages and goods float in the muddy and sandy river, and the whole river is full of disharmony.
Ashitaka remembered the explosion of stone and fire bolts he had heard a while ago, and immediately understood that this cargo definitely had something to do with it.
Suddenly, Ashedaka's gaze caught the figure of a man.
A man who had passed out was lying limply in the water, and Ashidaka immediately went to drag the man ashore.
Then, Ashitaka expertly placed his hand on the man's nose and felt the faint but present air flu.
"And breath." Asdidaka encouraged the man, "Cheer up. ”
After dragging the man to safety, Ashidaka tread the murky stream to see if there were any other injured people.
Soon, Ashidaka found another man hanging under a boulder.
But the man was so badly injured that not only did he seem blind in his eyes, but he could barely feel his breath.
Because it was too far away from the shore, Ashidaka could only carry the man and walk towards the shore in the muddy water.
If it weren't for Asshidaka's strength, he really wouldn't be able to carry this man.
Placing the man on his back next to the man he had saved, Asidaka was ready to find a way to wake them both up.
Suddenly, Arklu looked over the stream, and Asdidaka sensed something, and followed Arklu's gaze upward.
You can't see anything, but you can feel the pure power of nature.
At the same time, there is a sense of threat.
Asdidaka put on her mask, drew her longbow and put on the strings, and walked vigilantly up the river.
Finding a large rock to block it, Ashidaka peered out through the crack in the rock.
“…… Yes! The lurking Asidaka couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the situation outside.
A one-man tall white mountain dog floated on the water, and the strong smell of blood on its body could be smelled from more than ten meters away.
And there happened to be a huge wound on the neck of the big mountain dog, and the wound was blurred with flesh and blood.
Then, from the forest, several smaller, but still surprisingly large white-haired mountain dogs came out one after another, and one of them seemed to have a human sitting on it.
"...... people?" For some reason, Ashidaka had an inexplicable feeling.
It's a human being, and it's a young girl.
The girl jumped off the back of the mountain dog, and the big mountain dog, which seemed to be dead, actually raised its head and sniffed at the girl.
The girl observed the wound of the mountain dog completely clearly, so the girl leaned her head to the neck of the mountain dog with some concern.
After that, the girl squatted down and began to gulp the dirty blood from the big mountain dog's wound, and then spit it out continuously.
The big mountain dog was obviously trembling in pain, but he still let the girl suck the dirty blood, after all, if the wound was contaminated, even the big mountain dog couldn't stand it.
However, the half-squinted red eyes of the big mountain dog suddenly widened, and then immediately looked in the direction where Asshidaka was hidden, and the rest of the little mountain dogs immediately reacted.
The girl's movements froze, and then immediately looked vigilantly at Asdidaka's hiding place.
Ashidaka crossed the girl's gaze through the crack in the stone.
The girl's beautiful face was stained with the blood of the mountain dog, but it did not affect the girl's beauty in the slightest.
Asidaka is so shocked by the girl's beauty that she even forgets the crisis she seems to have been discovered.
The mountain dogs, mountain dogs, and maidens all looked at Asidaka.
After a while, the squatting girl got up and looked at Asshidaka's hiding place, spit out the dirty blood in her mouth, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her hand, and the girl looked straight at Ashitaka.
Ashidaka immediately took off his hood, got up from under the stone, and stood on the stone and shouted, "My name is Ashidaka, and I have come here from the end of the east, are you the ancient gods who live in the forest of mountain beast gods?" ”
The girl was stunned by Ashidaka's words, and the mountain dogs and the girl stood on the other side of the river looking at Ashedaka.
Asidaka also stood on the rock, looking at the maiden and the mountain dogs.
There was an indescribable atmosphere in the air.
As if sensing that Asidaka had no malice, the mountain dog got up and walked to the forest in some pain, and the girl stroked the mountain dog with some concern.
"Let's go." A cold voice reached Ashidaka's ears.
The girl rode a small mountain dog and followed the big mountain dog into the forest, and the remaining little mountain dog bit a dead cow in the river and ran into the forest.
The girl's last voice seemed to be addressed to the mountain dogs, and it seemed to be addressed to Asidaka.
Asidaka looked in the direction the girl had left and was silent for a long time.
"Ahh The screams suddenly sounded from a distance, and Ashidaka immediately thought that the person he had just saved had woken up, so he hurried over.
The man who woke up first was screaming and moving backwards.
It turned out that in front of him, there was a little demotion.
The illusory little dryad tilted its head to look at the man, which made the man who had never been in contact with spirits scream in fright.
However, his feet and hands were already broken, and he couldn't move at the moment.
Ashidaka, who rushed back, looked at the dryad with some surprise: "Dryad! Are there dryads here too? ”
Then, smiling, Asdidaka crouched down and whispered to the frightened man, "Be calm, movement will deepen your injuries." ”
The little dryad's head turned a few times, and the three dots were still looking at Ashidakar.
The man's jaw kept chattering, and Asidaka smiled and comforted, "Leave them alone, it'll be fine." They are a symbol of the lush forest. ”
The man, on the other hand, looked around sneakily and whispered to Asdidaka, "These guys will summon the ...... of the Mountain Beast God."
"Mountain gods? Is it a giant mountain dog? Asidaka immediately asked.
"No, it's the greater beast god......" the man said to Ashidaka sneakily as he looked at the dryad in horror.
The dryad tilted its head, stood up, and turned to disappear.
"Ahhh He's gone! The man screamed in horror, and then he looked around in a panic.
I saw more and more dryads appearing on the back of Arklu, on the trees around him, and on the ground.
"Yaklu is calm." Asidaka smiled and said, "There is no danger nearby. ”
The man couldn't help but scream as he looked at the growing number of tree spirits.
"What's wrong! Has it been attacked? "The nine skies are burning, and the light of the red sky is falling from the sky!
Jiukong Xun, who pulled out the black knife, looked around vigilantly, and suddenly found that they were all little tree spirits.
"Hey, is that well-informed?" After letting out an inexplicable exclamation, Nine Sky Smoke muttered and dispersed the power of the red firmament, and inserted the black knife back.
"Mr. Nine Skimming." Asidaka said.
"Asidaka, you've saved some people." Looking at the people lying on the ground and the men who had woken up, Jiukong Xun said.
The man was a little hairy by the pale blue pupils of the Nine Skies, so he twisted his head to the other side.
"Well, I came here to talk to you about something." Jiukong Xun looked at the man and said, "I plan to act alone for a while, since you have found a suitable guide, then let's separate." ”
"In a hurry?" Asidaka was stunned.
"I'll see you soon." After saying this sentence to Asidaka, Nine Sky Xun walked into the forest without looking back.
Confused by the Nine Voids' actions, Asdidaka was a little overwhelmed, and then said to the dryad sitting on the path of Ark, "I'm sorry, please let us go through your forest." ”
The little tree spirit who was squatting turned his head and disappeared very arrogantly.
The little dryads sitting in the trees shook their heads, and countless little dryads on the ground jumped to lead the way for Asidaka.
The chubby little dryad ran with great difficulty, and the skinny little dryad was very happy to jump at the base of the tree.
Asidaka liked the kind elf, but the man on the back of Arklu was terrified: "Please, let's go back...... There is a road on the other side of the river, and it is a mess to cross the forest......"
In the end, he was an honest cattle farmer, and he really couldn't adapt to this scene full of tree spirits.
Ashidaka carried the immobile man on his back and said profusely: "The river is too fast to cross, and this injured man will die if he doesn't go back quickly......"
The little dryad who led the way was running, gently beating among the intertwined roots.
"Are you leading the way for me? Or do you want me to lose my way? Asidaka smiled, sweating but happy.
Seeing that Ashitaka was a little physically exhausted, the little tree spirit deliberately stopped and waited for Ashitaka.
Asidaka gasped for a few breaths before continuing to follow the little dryad.
In the dense forest of mountain beast gods, the men rode the ark road, the ashedaka carried the wounded on his back, and the dryads guided ashedaka on his way.
