Chapter 366: Brain Dysfunction
Yi took the two of them a few steps through the woods and found a deserted path.
The stepping stones embedded in the ground were mutilated, half-exposed in the mottled snow. The snow here is not thick enough to completely cover the yellow weeds.
The woods are still, the surroundings are quiet, and the slightest sound is amplified.
A sharp cry flashed over the mountains and forests from far to near.
Kai'Sa couldn't help but pause.
"I've heard it like there......"
"It's the call of the sharp-beaked bird, a bird of prey that usually lives in the depths of the forest that is inaccessible." Yi looked up at the fleeting figure in the sky and said.
"Yes, I've seen them in the southern rainforests of Shurima."
Karn patted Kai'Sa on the back in a place where she couldn't see it, telling her not to say too much.
They had heard of the sharp-beaked birds, but what they heard were the screams of the birds of prey being hunted – the scene of the predatory sharp-beaked birds of the Kazik should not be said.
Karn's intentions seemed to be conveyed through the touch, and Kai'Sa said, "I'm sorry to say anything unrelated, so let's keep going." ”
Yi nodded and continued along the path.
It felt like it hadn't been long before there was another faint sound in the woods ahead.
"Moo~"
"The cry of the takin." Yi said: "If there is a takin, it means that there are people." ”
He quickened his pace, the screams getting closer, and he could hear the pain in between.
Then, the woods parted in front of the eyes.
By a small stream, it was easy to see a takin cub wailing in pain, its hind legs firmly entangled in thick vines, and the more it struggled, the tighter it became entangled.
Next to the takin stood a shepherd boy, very anxious and at a loss.
Seeing Yi, the shepherd boy ran over and put his hand on his scabbard as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
"Help me, this stupid animal can't get out of it because of its legs!"
Yi lowered his head and grabbed the shepherd boy's arm, saw the scythe at his waist that was not sharp, and did not refuse.
Karn and the two followed Yi to the takin, and the vines not only wrapped around its hind legs, but also seemed to have spikes piercing into its flesh, sucking fresh blood.
"There's not quite something wrong with this vine." This reminded Karn of Zyra.
"Ima said that there was a bad smell on the mountain, and he wouldn't let me go there to graze the cattle, but I met it at the bottom of the mountain. My scythe can only be used to cut grass and feed the cattle, not to cut these tough vines. ”
Stroke its furry back with the palm of one hand and feel the twitching and spasms of its muscles.
Hearing the shepherd boy's words, he looked at a nearby bare mountain, and among the surrounding lofty mountains, only this mountain was bare and exposed to cracked bedrock, and he knew that there had been a fire.
And it's not your average wildfire.
"Has the evil qi from the mountain affected the foot of the mountain......" Yi muttered, pulling out two knives from the copper sheath of his boots. The moment he brought the steel blades closer to the entwined vines, they seemed to flinch.
"Imai?"
"This is the Ionian dialect, Imai - Mother, Ibi - Father." As soon as Karn was distracted to answer Kaisha's doubts, the vine broke when the other side changed hands and fell.
The takin escaped, letting out a cheerful, high-pitched cry. The severed vines on the ground hung like sagging skin.
The little animal jumped away into the distance, and the shepherd boy hurriedly chased after him, only to shout thank you from afar.
Yi Knife got up, looked at the broken vines, and thought thoughtfully.
"Is it serious?" Karn asked.
It can be seen that this land is robbing life, and there is natural magic that life fills in the gap.
And all of this was caused by the alchemy flame explosives dropped by Noxus.
"It's getting worse, and it's right to come back early this time." He glanced at the gradually gloomy sky: "I will go up the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”
"Aren't you looking for someone? Follow the shepherd boy to the nearby village, where you can ask someone. ”
The three of them followed the path of the shepherd boy and walked out of the woods to see the vast farmland in the mountains.
The rice grown here is all fiery red, and the first time you see it, it is full of visual impact.
"It's so beautiful, if it weren't for those ploughing cows, I would have thought I had entered the garden." Kai'Sa stood on tiptoe.
Seeing that she was eager to see the end, Karn crouched down and carried her up. Hold your calves, your thighs on your shoulders, and your buttocks can only hang in the air.
"Ahh I'm not a little girl anymore, put me down! ”
This position made her blush, and only a child would sit on an adult's shoulder like that.
Karn tried to walk a few steps, but the dirt of the field path was a little soft and staggering, or rather a person sitting on his shoulder caused too much pressure under his feet...... Kai'Sa shook even more when she sat on his shoulder, and she had to cling to his head with her legs to avoid falling into the muddy field.
"You did it on purpose!" Kai'Sa waited for Karn to stabilize and decided to punish Karn in a fit of shame, pinching his nose and squeezing his mouth when her ears were caught in her legs.
Karn withdrew his hand when he tried to bite her, and a commotion began.
A chuckle interrupted their play, and when they saw Yi looking at them with a smile, both of them restrained a little.
Although he spent all his time practicing swords day after day when he was young, swinging his sword four thousand times a day, this did not prevent him from understanding the sweetness of love.
This kind of innocent emotion will infect everyone from the heart.
Karn walked a little way before Kai'Sa was put down, and it was tempting to see her blushing. It's like an apple wrapped in syrup, and you can't help but want to take a bite.
Who made her usually have a cold face, and it feels funny when compared.
Karn inquired about a peasant woman in the field, who was wearing a modest petticoat with a rag of rags.
"Auntie, have you seen a strange person with a lamppost come ashore nearby?"
"With a lamppost?" Thinking about such a conspicuous feature, the woman nodded: "There is such a person." ”
"How's he doing?" Karn was pleasantly surprised, and really guessed that Jax was shipwrecked in Baruo.
"He's weird...... Washed ashore by the waves, taken back to the village by fishermen. Obviously soaking wet, he didn't let people take off his wet clothes, and he wasn't afraid of the cold. He also likes to carry the lamppost everywhere, even to the hut. ”
"And then? Is he okay? Kai'Sa asked.
"It's good, he's a little disabled, but he's in good shape and he's not sick. The next day, in order to repay us, he began to help with some farm work, and a boiled egg would allow him to do all morning's work. ”
Although Karn knew that the peasant woman meant that Jax had only three fingers, he always felt that what she said was that Jax had a problem with his brain.
Yes, an egg can be hired for half a day, isn't it brain-dead.
