Chapter 34: Beyond the Valley
CHAPTER XXXIV
The forest under the night sky seemed so quiet, and from time to time there was a faint sound of insects chirping all around, and when someone approached, the area returned to tranquility again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking around cautiously, with the help of the moonlight, Luo Qi and Selena walked slowly through the trees.
Perhaps because of its proximity to the Valley of Death, the forest is very sparse, even if it is not lit by torches.
"Well, let's not go any further." Slightly one step behind Selena, Rocky followed her and whispered, "That valley of death in us isn't far off. ”
Silence, only silence was answered by Luo Qi, and Selena still walked forward, without saying a word.
"Hey ......"
"At that time, I was very young." Suddenly, Selena's cold voice pierced through and reached Luo Qi's ears like a wind chime on a moonlit night.
"Huh?" Luo Qi was stunned, not quite understanding what Selena wanted to say.
"When I was about two years old, I went to the land of humans, the continent of Amun." Turning her head, Selena glanced at Roach, "I still remember that country, the Kingdom of Norwe. ”
Frowning tightly, Luo Qi looked at Selena's side face, although she didn't understand what the other party wanted to express, but she felt that it was better to listen to it, after all, she had to tell about things related to human beings.
"At that time, humans and elves were still in the stage of alliance, but the covenant was already on the verge of ruin, so my mother, Princess Seleliusna, as an envoy, came to the Norvi Kingdom to discuss the change of treaty, and at the same time took me with me."
"At that time, in fact, my mother understood that the so-called treaty change was just a pretense, after all, because of the provocation between the blood clan and the demon clan, the relationship between humans and elves could not be maintained, and there was only one purpose to go to the Norway Kingdom." As she spoke, Selena turned to look at Roach, "Bring back Princess Aphlorea, my mother's sister, who was there and married to a human." ”
"...... with humanity Get married? Luo Qi muttered to himself incredulously.
"At that time, I was still very young, I had been living in the palace, and I didn't even have a friend, and the elves began to have the ability to think independently when they were one year old, and the reason why I was willing to follow my mother to the human continent was because I was too lonely." With a look of indifference on her face, Selena slowly closed her eyes, "And it was there that I met the boy who was appointed by my mother, with his sister Princess Aphrea, to marry me in the future. ”
"Designated to marry?" Luo Qi was shocked for a while, he never thought that this cold girl would have such a past, but the so-called designated person to marry...... Who will it be? Descendants of humans and elves......
"I stayed there for a whole year, and the boy was only three years old, and humans were indeed more pure than our elves when they were younger, without worrying or thinking too much, and they were so happy all day long, and I didn't seem to be infected by him." Smiling faintly, the smile on her lips was fleeting, Selena continued, "It's a pity, the final agreement was torn up, and I had to return to the Elven Kingdom with my mother, the Luna Continent, but my mother's sister, Princess Aphrorea didn't do this, she accompanied that human and was unwilling to return to the elven realm, it seemed that as long as she was with that human, it didn't matter if she died." ”
"At parting, I asked the boy, can we ever see each other again?" Speaking lightly, Selena suddenly stopped, and her footsteps stopped at this moment.
Luo Qi stopped behind Selena and looked at Selena's back with a solemn expression.
Although I don't know what Selena's purpose is when she says this, it seems from these things that Selena's current personality should have a lot to do with what she experienced when she was a child.
After being silent for a long time, Selena turned her head to look at Luo Qi with an unknown face, and after a long silence, she said slowly: "It's nothing, we should go back." ”
Luo Qi looked up at the front, and couldn't help but gasp, and the hairs on his body stood up at this moment.
In front of him, however, was a dark place, and the deep valley at the bottom could not be seen, and the moonlight seemed to avoid the valley and departed into the distance.
Swallowing his saliva, Luo Qi said with a little difficulty: "Ha...... Haha, it's time to go back, how did we get here......"
"I hope that after you return to the human race, you can retrieve your memories as soon as possible, because you may have made promises to many people, if you forget, some people may not care, but some people ......" After a slight pause, Selena lowered her eyes and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
"Thank you...... Thank you. Luo Qi was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Whoa!" At this moment, about a hundred meters away from this valley, a flock of birds perched on the trees suddenly spread their wings and soared into the air, as if they had been awakened by something.
"I didn't expect there to be living creatures around Death Valley, so it should be ...... outside the valley," Luo Qi said, turning his head to look at Selena, and just as he turned around, his pupils suddenly contracted.
I saw that behind Selena, a black figure stretched out its huge wings, as if it was a giant bird, and its long and sharp beak pecked at Selena fiercely!
"Be careful!" Luo Qi roared, suddenly reached out and pulled Selena, who had not yet turned around, and quickly dodged to the side.
The giant bird pecked in the air in an instant, turned its head to look at Roach and Selena, and let out a low hissing sound.
"What the hell...... Luo Qi clenched his teeth, looked at the black giant bird in front of him, and suddenly felt a soft and boneless tenderness in his hand, and turned his head to see Selena looking at him faintly, and his hand was holding Selena's slender wrist tightly.
"Hug, I'm sorry......" Luo Qi hurriedly let go of his hand and said.
Selena didn't seem to mind, but turned her head slightly to look at the giant bird, with a hint of solemnity in her eyes.
"Run." Selena whispered to Roach.
"Huh?" Luo Qi looked at Selena, "Do you know what that thing is?" ”
"I don't know, it's because I don't know it, so I can't make a move easily." Slowly, Selena suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Qi's forearm, turned around and ran towards the direction of the camp.
Looking at the two people who were fleeing, the giant bird's green eyes flashed with a strange light, and its black wings waved, and under the wave of his wings, the space around him gradually began to distort, spreading rapidly towards the front.
Selena and Luo Qi, who were running, suddenly noticed that the scene in front of them had changed, and the originally lush woods had changed into a desolate rocky beach in an instant!
"This ...... What's going on? Luo Qi gritted his teeth and looked around, "How has the forest changed?" ”
Serena's eyes were also solemn at the moment, and she looked around, as if she was thinking of a way to escape from here.
Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to crumble, and Luo Qi and Selena's bodies began to fall rapidly, and Luo Qi was also desperate to find that he could not use magical power to fly!
Gritting her teeth, Luo Qi ignored Selena's surprised gaze, and took her into her arms to shield her from the rocks that rolled down.
In the midst of the collapse, the giant bird was suspended in the air, looking at the forest below and the two people who fell into the valley, its green eyes flickered, and then its body turned into a black mist and dissipated into the air.
In the middle of the camp, Karloff, who was resting, suddenly woke up and quickly sat up, his eyes nervously around him.
"Awake?" Thomas, leaning against a tree, glanced at Karloff and yawned.
"Oh, yes." Karloff breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips and said, "What about you, didn't you rest?" ”
"The two of them haven't come back yet, Captain and the human boy." Thomas said, his eyes full of solemnity.
"So what, are you afraid that human kid will do something unfavorable to the leader? No kidding. Karloff stretched, "Don't be suspicious either. ”
"No, no." Thomas shook his head, "I don't care what the head of the group and that human kid will do, it's just that I'm a little concerned about where they go." ”
"Place?" Looking in the direction of Thomas's gaze, Karloff's gaze froze, "No...... Feed! You're not kidding! ”
Thomas turned his head, looked at Karloff, and said slowly: "Now it's better to pray that kind of thing doesn't happen." ”
