Chapter 8: The Vanishing Companion and... Fauber has fallen
The reason why the rest of my life finds it funny is not that there is any discrimination against people who suffer from fear of heights... He just made up for the cute appearance of Mo Lan, who had been calm and calm most of the time since they met, standing on the deck of the airship, and then panicked and helpless...
However, just when he was about to tease Mo Lan not far behind him... Turning his head again, he didn't see the white horse that should have been not far behind him, and the two girls surnamed Mo on his back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hmm... Hallucinations? The stunned blonde boy was stunned for two seconds, then rubbed his eyes as he muttered...
When he opened the dead fish eyes again, the scene he saw did not change in any way... Except that the huge pit on the ground is getting smaller and smaller because of the distance.
"! Dead face stop now... Oh not stop the horse! Yu Sheng's face immediately became weird, and he shouted loudly to the ink owl in front of him, who seemed to be unaware: "Your young lady and another chick are gone!" … Looks like you've fallen into a pit? ”
“… Falling into the pit? When the dead-faced boy heard this, he immediately pulled the reins violently, causing Xiao Hei under his crotch to brake sharply and start to slow down... And he himself immediately turned his head to look in the direction that Yu Sheng was pointing, and his face immediately became very ugly after noticing the big pit a certain distance away.
"When did they not see?!" He snapped at the dead fish-eyed boy who was the first to notice this, "And... When did that pit appear? ”
"I don't know exactly when... But it must have been a few seconds ago," Yu Sheng immediately replied, "She was well behind us a dozen seconds ago... And then just a few seconds later, a big crater suddenly appeared in the ground, and they just fell like that? ”
"Hmm... In your speculation just now, there is an obvious problem, I wonder if you have noticed? Ink Owl took a deep breath, regained his dead face, and asked Yu Sheng a question, "If a large pit suddenly appears under your feet, and you fall... What will you do in the process? ”
“… What else can I do in this situation? I'm not a person with the power of being fierce or above... You can go to heaven with the power of your own abilities alone," the blonde boy rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "No matter what I do, there is no doubt that I will fall in the face of this trap~"
"You've got the crux of the matter wrong... What I want to ask is, what is your 'instinctive reaction' when you encounter such a situation. ”
"Instinctive reaction? … Do you scold your mother? The blonde boy stared at the dead fish eyes and thought for a moment, then tilted his head and gave the answer, "Hmm... If I fall into this kind of pit, I will first shout 'it', and then greet the eighteenth generation ancestors of the guy who dug this pit. ”
"That's right," Ink Owl nodded expressionlessly, and then said in a very strange tone, "Most people should have a similar reaction... Although the characters shouted by Miss Lan and Ah Kite are more civilized than you should be, they should also make some kind of cry for help or... Screams peculiar to women. ”
Hearing this, Yu Sheng also showed an expression of sudden realization, and then followed.
"But we didn't hear any of them... The fact that the ink kite did not scream can be explained by the fact that she was in danger, but it is very unscientific for Alan who is afraid of heights not to scream in that situation, that is..."
"There's something that completely isolates them before they even come out." The Ink Owl, who had already turned his horse's head and quickly came to the edge of the pit, immediately jumped off his horse, staring at the seemingly bottomless dark pit at his feet, and fell silent.
"So what do we do now?" Yu Sheng also dismounted with him, looking at the huge pit that appeared at some point, and looked a little overwhelmed.
"This pit is not a trap that has been prepared for a long time," said the grim-faced Ink Owl after a moment of silence, "The traces of the dirt around are still very new... It was just dug up. ”
“… Are you kidding? Yu Sheng showed an expression of disbelief when he heard this, "Not to mention that this pit is so big... It's impossible not to notice the movement created by digging this pit alone, isn't it? ”
"Believe it or not, the trails of dirt around are new."
Faced with the questioning of the blonde dead fish-eyed boy, Mo Xiao responded lightly
"If I'm not mistaken... This must be the result of some kind of large, lurking creature underground... The unknown creature suddenly erupted when Miss Lan and Ah Kite passed by, and then forcibly took them away... Do you know what creatures in the Northern Realm can do this? ”
“… There are a lot of mutated creatures in this place," Yu Sheng replied with a blank eye when he heard this, "But as far as I know, mutated creatures that can do this level are at least the existence of the strong mid-level... The two of us will definitely not be able to beat it~"
"So," the blonde boy said, with a sad expression, "regardless of whether those two unaccounted for girls are dead or alive now... If your guess is true, even if we find the creature that took them captive, we won't be able to get them out... What's more, the biggest possibility now is that they have become the rations of the unknown creature..."
"What you say makes a lot of sense," the dead-faced young man nodded very calmly, unexpectedly, "But... I'm pretty sure Miss Lan and Ah Kite aren't dead, so... Would you like to go with me to find them? ”
“… The reason? Yu Sheng was silent for a while, and asked lightly, "Why are you so sure that they are still alive now?" ”
"Because of this." Mo Xiao took out three pale cyan jade tablets from his waist, and each piece was engraved with some words that Yu Sheng felt very familiar with, but could not understand.
"The name of these things is 'Destiny Cards,'" the blond boy quickly explained as he looked at him suspiciously, "What they do... It is to confirm the life and death of the holder of the 'main life card', I, Ah Kite, Fauber and Miss Lan got the other three's life cards when they set off... And now, they are as good as ever. ”
Before the words fell, a piece of the life card in the ink owl's hand shattered.
"Mourning... Who hung up? Yu Sheng suddenly felt that the young man standing in front of him burst out with an extremely powerful aura, making him feel his scalp tingle for a while.
“… The owner of this life card is Fu Bo. Mo Xiao quickly reined in his momentum, and then said in a deep voice with a blank face, "It seems... The masterminds behind the creation of those 'dead' are much more powerful than we imagined..."
