231 "Divine Dragon" legend
Soon, news of the appearance of a terrifying sea monster in the offshore area spread throughout the docks, and everyone talked about the sea monster.
"It is said that the sea monster had eight scythe-like tentacles, grabbed a sea king larger than a mountain, and when it was gently wound, the sea king was twisted into pieces."
"I know, the day before yesterday I felt that something was wrong, and that day I saw a huge shadow swimming under the deep seabed from afar, and it seemed that it was the sea monster you were talking about."
"I heard that the sea monster has eight heads."
"I've heard that there are eight human feet, and it's a kind of human-faced monster fish????。"
The more it spread, the more exaggerated it became, Kakaro and the others at the dock glanced at Wilde with strange faces, and muttered in a low voice, "I may know the sea monster everyone is talking about, he does have a human face and human feet." ”
"You're going to stand here all the time?" Wilde glanced at a few people, and only then did a few people come back to their senses, and Carkaro coughed a few times in embarrassment, "So Mr. Wilder is planning to join us...?" ”
"No need, you guys go shopping, I'll walk around the island." Wilde said as he walked towards the island, leaving the Carcaro with a back.
Looking at each other for a moment, Kakaro waved his hand, "Let's go, hurry up and purchase the supplies back, and then set off early, I am now compelled to reach the capital of the seven waters, and then go back, I swear, I never want to deal with this man again." ”
The other navies nodded in agreement, Wilde was a beast and a madman in their hearts, and it was better to stay away.
Wild stepped on the pristine boulder floor, carved out by hand with a knife, and walked unhurriedly.
Moss between the stones, houses lined with wood and stone, covered with green vines and other plants, gradually secluded as you walk away from the bustling city, with only the occasional small yard dotted along the dirt path, and dense woods above the sight.
Occasionally, a few natives with working tools walked by, and they would look at Wilde with curiosity.
Wilde was going to ask someone about the situation, and the legend of the island was only a description or two of essays he had seen from the trees, not to mention whether the monster existed, and even if there were, he had to know where the monster lived before he could see it.
Just at this time, an old man leaned on the door of the courtyard and smoked a cigarette with a special shape, and there were a few young strong men around him talking to him, judging from the courtyard behind him, it was obvious that the old man was a respected principal, and it was most appropriate to ask such a person if he had any questions, and his advanced age was destined to let them know more about the old things than the young people.
With a gentle smile, Wilde walked up, and at this time, the old man and a few young people who were chatting outside the courtyard also saw Wilde coming over, and they all turned around and looked at him with a little wariness in confusion.
"Hello, I'm a traveler down there."
"Shuffle!" Several people let down their vigilance and scratched their heads to look at Wild, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Wild's simple and innocent behavior made Wilde smile even more, and he went straight to the point, "I've heard legends about the monsters of the indigenous island, and I'm interested in it, and I want to know about it. ”
"Oh, you said that, that's not a legend, it's real." The old man smoked a cigarette very dullly, and said, "Although no one has seen his appearance, because everyone who has seen him is dead." ”
Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Wild's body, "You want to go into the forest?" Then I must warn you, don't go east, for this is my advice to you, an outsider traveler. ”
Wilde smiled inwardly, but there was a puzzled look on the surface, "Why?" ”
"Because of the legend you mentioned, its nest is in the innermost part of the eastern part of the forest, and I can't guarantee that it will not run from the innermost to the outermost part, but I can be sure that you will not encounter it in several other directions, because it is a somewhat precipitous valley, and its huge body is destined to make it unable to pass through the valley fissures as freely as humans, so if you really want to go to the east, finally stop outside the valley."
"Oh, thank you so much, your advice is useful." Wilde took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the old man, "You may be able to taste this, it will be my thank you, he may be better than the one you smoked... It's not necessarily better to smoke. ”
The old man stretched out his hand to take it, staring at the cigarette in his hand with bright eyes, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will be merciful to tell you another news, although the people who have seen that monster are dead, but it does not mean that people have nothing to do with its appearance, at least I was lucky enough to see it when I was young, of course, it was only a hurried glance, so I can survive, you know very well that everyone who has seen its true appearance is dead, and this is the reason why I can live to be eighty-five years old today, I am surprised, right?" The secret of my longevity is a secret, and I can't tell you that. ”
Wilde looked at the old man's chatter and didn't interrupt, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but a few young people next to him couldn't help it first, and grabbed the old man's hand curiously and excitedly and shook it for a while, "Grandpa Baika, have you really seen that monster when you are young?" What does it look like? ”
The old man known as the white card was so shaken that his eyes rolled and he almost died on the spot, "Get out!" Stop it! Stop it! You damn it! ”
The young man was excited for a while, but he also found that the old man Baika was about to be shaken to death by himself, so he quickly let go of his hand, stood aside and said eagerly: "Grandpa Baika, say it quickly, what does that monster look like?" ”
Bai Ka glared at him fiercely, snorted coldly, casually raised the cigarette stick in his hand and smoked it at him, only remembered something when he was about to smoke it, suddenly stopped, looked at the cigarette stick, and was relieved to find that it was intact, and glared at him again before slowly speaking.
"When I was young, I was like you now, curious about what the monster looked like, and one day I made up my mind to meet the monster, and without telling anyone, I walked to the deepest part of the east side of the forest, and I remember that it was not too early, probably like now." As Bai Ka spoke, several young people unconsciously raised their heads and glanced at the sky, the sun had already set.
As if recalling the scene, Baika continued, "When approaching the valley, I walked very slowly, and I didn't even make a sound of footsteps, for I was afraid that if I made a little sound, the monster would be noticed, because I often heard adults say that the monster's ears were very sensitive, and he could hear footsteps beyond the valley, and then he would go to the valley crack and wait, it was very fond of eating humans, and only if someone could not resist the temptation and curiosity would be attracted to the valley cresmet, and that was when it had a full meal." ”
"Temptation?" Wild noticed the word.
Bai Ka glanced at him and nodded lightly, "That's right, that monster has a magical talent, it can release a kind of taste, so that humans feel a special smell after smelling it, just like barbecue, of course, some people say that it is the fragrance of flowers, and it is said that it is the smell of blood, in short, the smell of everyone is very attractive to him, I don't know what others think of this problem, but I think the person who smells blood must be a pervert." ”
"Yes." Wild looked sympathetic.
Bai Ka glanced at him again, this time with a hint of appreciation and relief in his eyes, and several young people next to him caught the meaning in his eyes, and suddenly seemed to have grasped something, and quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes." ”
"Damn, don't interrupt me." However, in exchange for the disgruntled scolding of the white card.
After scolding, Baika took a puff of cigarette and continued, "So, that monster not only has terrible hearing, but also has this kind of hallucination or drug-like talent that can make people unconsciously attracted to the past, of course, maybe its sense of smell and vision are also excellent, no one can say for sure." ”
"You know, I slowed down when I approached the rift in the valley, so I didn't actually make a sound, or maybe I did, but I deliberately slowed down so that the monster didn't hear the human footsteps, so I didn't smell anything strange until I got to the crevasse."
"But Grandpa Whitecard, how did you see that monster? In that case, the monster shouldn't have been waiting at the mouth of the rift, did you say you entered the valley? The young man looked at him in disbelief.
"Damn! Damn it! Why do you always like to interrupt me! Don't you know that older people don't have a good memory? Can you relate to the difficulties I recalled? Baika stood up angrily, and the cigarette stick fell to the young man's head.
"Don't fight! Stop it! I promise not to ask! The young man covered his head, his nose was swollen and he said.
Who knew that hearing this, Bai Ka became even angrier and pumped harder, "Damn! It sounds like I'm a very unreasonable old man, I'm not one of those old people who would stifle the curiosity of young people, nor would I deprive young people of their inquisitive virtues! Remember! Your behavior just now is to interrupt an elderly person's words, not to ask a question, and the two should not be confused. ”
Bai Ka said angrily, and when he calmed down, he stroked the cigarette stick in his hand with a distressed face, and took a puff of cigarette when he saw that it was not deformed.
Wilde glanced at the young man with a slight sympathy, if he could, he would be willing to quietly hand him a pack of cigarettes, and let him take the cigarette to salute the white card, perhaps the treatment he received in this way would be completely different from what he received now?
"Tell me about the appearance of the monster, I can't remember the specific process, it's not so much the appearance, but the form, I was very lucky, I just reached the crack, and the first time I looked inside, I saw a scene that I will never forget."
"But didn't you say it's hard to remember? Why do you say that you will never forget? The young man leaned over and asked, puzzled.
"Oh my God, Mr. Traveler, please wait a moment, let me settle my personal matter, I'm sure you're tired of this damn guy too, I'll get rid of him now. Next, I will tell you about the unforgettable experiences of my youth. Baika stood up and smiled at Wild, who smiled back and nodded.
I don't know if it's Tie Hanhan or what, but at this time, the young man didn't even notice that something was wrong, but pointed at Bai Ka with a face swollen like a pig's head, and said questioningly: "Look, you obviously said that it was unforgettable, which contradicts your previous words." ”
"Mystery must kill - smoke sticks and smoke - hundred - dance of four or eight!" A poetic move name gushes out of Hakuka's throat! He jumped up, and the cigarette stick fell on the young man's head!
“……”
After a terrible scream, the young man's face was completely out of the range of the pig's head and turned into a bun, the kind of steamed bun that was not put away properly, causing it to stick into a whole ball.
"I swear I don't ask... Don't interrupt... Grandpa White Card. Sitting down obediently, the young man said to the wall, his eyes were covered in flesh and therefore could not see the outside world.
Baika sat back down at the courtyard gate, took a puff of his cigarette, knocked off the ashes, took out the pack of cigarettes that Wilder had given him, opened it, lit one and smoked it, and suddenly showed an expression of enjoyment as if he had experienced some kind of pleasant movement, and took a few puffs before he began to speak.
"It was a monster resembling a snake, it was far away from me, and I couldn't see it in its entirety because of the trees, but I could tell how big it was just by looking at it."
"How old?" Wild asked.
Baika smoked a cigarette and said, "Let's put it this way, at that time there was a big tree that was hundreds of years old, you know, people like us who deal with the forest every day can roughly tell the age of the tree by a glance, the big tree needs at least ten people to stretch out their hands around to be able to hold it, but the monster just rolled and broke the tree." It was at least five times larger than that tree. ”
"Terrible power." Wilde said.
Bai Ka nodded, "Yes, in terms of size, if you want to crush that tree, even five times its size, you can't do it, which can only say that the monster's strength is much greater than its size." The scariest thing is..."
Bai Ka looked around mysteriously, lowered his voice and said, "Do you know the Divine Dragon? ”
"Shenlong?" Wild and Wild looked very cooperative, with a look of surprise.
Baika sat back down, nodded, and said with certainty, "I suspect that the monster is actually the legendary dragon, because I saw a pair of big horns through that hurried glance." Dragons have horns, right? ”
"Yes." Wild said with great certainty.
"So, that monster is actually the legendary dragon! It's just that it's not as friendly as the legend says, and he eats humans! And it's like to eat humans! ”
"I want to go and meet the dragon. Wilde said with a smile.
Bai Ka's action of taking the cigarette and preparing to deliver it to his mouth suddenly stiffened, and the pig-headed bun boy turned around from the state of facing the wall.
