Chapter 79: My dear companion
I saw the reflection of the sun at the bottom of the water swaying with the water, swaying and shaking, becoming more and more blurred, very like, very like...... I can't remember where I've seen a scene like this, I just remember someone whispering something in my ear that led me to a dream.
"Wow!" Someone jumped into the water and swam towards me, his white hair fluttering in the water, and he stretched out his arm through the hair to ask me to hold him. I raised my hand to see the purple light of my hand fading, and my body returned to normal, so I was relieved to hand it over to him. He grabbed me tightly, pulled me up and hugged me to float up.
"Rain." I was woken up, the water in my ears flowed out, and all I heard was the sound of water.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The water in the nasal cavity entered the trachea and made me choke uncomfortably, and after coughing, I felt so cold, and the cold air went straight to the heart along the bones.
"Let's have some hot soup." I was lifted up, the warm mouth of the bowl against my lips, just the right temperature. I took a sip of the lower stomach heat to dispel the cold, and my body felt much better. I only felt the warmth in the first sip but didn't feel the taste, and it was not until the second sip that I found that the taste was so familiar. I raised my eyes to look at the person who rescued me, and shouted in surprise, "Cuizi! ”
"Well, it's a lot better."
"It's okay, it's just a little stiff."
"It will be good to roast the fire later, and drink the rest of the soup first." I also want to ask about being gagged with a bowl by Tsuiko.
I finished the soup quietly and looked at her brightly, she seemed to be a little thinner, her eyes were more calm than before, as if nothing could shake her.
"Give me the bowl."
"Oh." In the past, Tsuiko would have asked me how I was staring at her, but now ...... "You've changed a little." “
"Yes." In response, Tsuiko carried me to the fire, not wondering what I was talking about? But I can't tell you when I ask, it's just the feeling. It could also be because we've been apart for too long.
"Tsuiko, you saved me again, I remember the first time we met." I tried to go back to the old way I got along through reminiscences.
"I ......"
"I saved you, you have to figure it out!" The white fox suddenly appeared with a hint of anger.
"Uh." I remembered that the man who pulled me down had white hair, and alas, I thought it was a murderous temple.
"What do you mean by your disappointed expression?!"
"How can I have such an expression......" I touched my face.
"Your head droops, your eyelids are half-narrowed, you open your mouth and sigh, and you say no!" Brother, are you an expert in micro-expression management?
"Flying bones!" It's Asu's voice.
The white fox dodged the attack of the flying bone, and used its demonic power to make it turn and fly towards me, if it hits me, won't I be cut in half? Tsuiko stepped forward and drew her sword and swung it away.
I patted my chest, "White Fox, you don't have to treat me like this when you're angry with me." ”
"I spent a lot of effort to save you, and of course I'm angry if you don't appreciate it. But just now it was careless. ”
emmm, it's me who is bad. "How did you get into a fight?"
"Not long after I rescued you, they appeared, and they were the first to do it."
"That's because we saw the essence of your rain-sucking body." Asu came over to explain.
"It's not the spirit, it's the power of the rain." Tsuiko corrects Asu's statement.
I looked at the white fox, and I actually believed that he had a reason.
"You haven't woken up since I saved you, and I wanted to find a place to place you, but I was seriously injured before and couldn't maintain my human form, so I borrowed your strength."
The truth is revealed, "Then you're okay now, right?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just not fully recovered."
"Rain." Tsuiko observed that I was very familiar with the white fox. "You know?"
"Hmm."
"I see."
I pulled the white fox together, and the four of us chatted around the fire.
"Tsuiko, how did you come here?"
"Everywhere is under attack by bear demons, and we have come to find their lair."
"Isn't it particularly tall and has particularly sharp claws?"
"yes, you know?"
"We've fought it during the day."
"Win?"
"Mm-hmm, I won." I looked at Tsuiko expectantly, praising me, praising me.
"So the power was uncontrollable at that time?"
"Hmm...... How do you know?! ”
"When Mizuko was nearby, she said she sensed the sense that she brought me." Asu added on the side.
"How did you sense that?" Will it be like an instrument discovering ultrasound?
"The bracelet I gave you not only has the effect of blocking the breath, but also suppresses your power."
So when in the lake, the bracelet glowed.
"Why suppress her power, others can't ask for it." The white fox voiced my doubts.
"How do you feel when the power is about to come out?" Tsuiko asked me.
"It feels like the blood vessels are going to burst, and the skin is going to tear apart." I think back to the pain, "It was very uncomfortable. ”
"Your current body can't withstand such a strong force, and if you let them pour out, you'll be in a lot of holes."
"And I'm scrapped again?" It's the same as before.
"It's okay to be appropriate, but don't overdo it, even if you have this bracelet too many times, you can't hold it down."
Lost, melancholy, depressed, autistic. I thought that after becoming a real human, it would make a difference.
"From now on, you will learn from me how to control the use of power."
"Oh." It's a little better, at least it's okay.
During this time, Asu was basically silent, and his eyes kept looking at my face.
"Asu, what are you doing with me?" I know he's not interesting to me, but I'm embarrassed to be stared at like this.
"Ahh Ah Su touched the back of his head, "I just think you're looking really good now." ”
That's right! I don't look like anything like I used to be, how do they determine my identity??
"How did you recognize me?"
"Bracelets."
"It's also possible that I lost the bracelet and someone else picked it up."
"Does anyone else have your situation?"
"I won't ......" is also ha.
Tsuiko then added, "We won't sit idly by out of morality. "That means whether it's me or not, they'll definitely intervene, and they'll be sure when I'm sober.
"Aren't you surprised?"
Tsuiko: "It's a matter of time. ”
Ajuku: "I'm surprised. ”
Well, it's exactly what I imagined, and I can only go to the village to find hope.
"You just said you were going to find the bear demon's lair?" The white fox asked Tsuiko.
"How?"
"I know where it is."
"I heard that this group of bear demons occupied the territory of the fox clan and drove them all away, right?"
The white fox nodded with a heavy expression, "At the end of spring this year, they suddenly appeared, and they slashed and killed us without even having room for negotiation, we couldn't help but flee in all directions, my father was scratched by them and almost died, I tried my best to take him out." ”
"What about your father?" I didn't see it from the beginning, and I don't know if the wound is better.
"Entrusted to my partner."
"Did any of the other fox demons escape?"
"Well, we have organized many assassination attempts, but they have not been able to avenge the death of their loved ones, but the number is decreasing day by day." The white fox clenched his fists, "If there was a strong man between us, it wouldn't be so embarrassing." ”
"Isn't it you who is strong?" Tsuiko pointed out calmly.
"You don't need to comfort me."
"I didn't mean that." Poof, Cuizi is still so upright. "Although I don't know which race you belong to, the blood flowing in your body is destined to be extraordinary. If you're not mistaken, you're probably the best in your group. ”
"Yes......"
"Then why can't you beat that bear demon?" As soon as I asked, I remembered that it was my pot, hehehehehe, and I tried to mix it up with a smirk. The white fox gave me an empathetic white eye.
"How much do you know about the bear demon?" Tsuiko began to inquire about the enemy.
"Ordinary monsters don't have much ability, they have a big body and a lot of strength, and this kind of thing is easy to deal with. There are also some of them with poisonous claws, and their bodies are more dexterous. The last ones are not much bigger than humans, but they are the most difficult to deal with, they have demonic powers, they have all kinds of skills, I have seen one very fast and one that can breathe fire. ”
"Do they have a leader?"
"This, I don't know. I've never seen one. ”
Cuizi pondered for a moment, "It's impossible for such a large group to be without a leader, it seems that we need to know more." We'll rest tonight and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Ah Su took out his things and laid out a place to rest, and the white fox casually found a tree root to lean on.
"Rain, follow me." Tsuiko called me farther away.
"What's the matter?" As if to tell me alone.
"I'd like to ask you specifically how you got to where you are."
Is Tsuiko finally interested in my business, I can't wait to tell her everything.
"Wait a minute." Tsuiko looked at a tree behind me and stared at it for a moment before letting me continue.
"Something's coming?"
"It's not."
There must be something, so I want to know.
"Are you curious?"
"Hmm."
"Then go see for yourself."
"Huh? Do you want me to catch up? ”
"Put your power into the air." Tsuiko put her finger on my temple, and something came out along her finger, and I nervously tried to move away.
"It's fine, won't smoke too much. You relax, follow me to see the true face of the people. ”
Tsuiko walked through the grass and through the woods with a hint of my consciousness, and amazingly, although the world was a blur of shadows in my eyes, I couldn't see what they looked like but still knew what they were.
"Tell me who you see?"
"That's ...... Arctic fox? "Tsuiko withdrew her finger, and I immediately returned to the same place." Why did he eavesdrop? ”
"Maybe I'm hiding something about the bear demon." Cuizi's indifferent appearance showed that there was nothing wrong with the white fox, "Let's go back to the topic just now." ”
Ah, I really want to learn the spell just now, so I won't teach it. There's no way, we don't dare to say anything more, anyway, we will definitely learn in the future.
I told her the whole story, and she was very puzzled by the fact that Natural Tooth wanted to kill me, and in fact, I was too, and I couldn't solve it for a long time.
"Give me your hand and close your eyes."
She was holding my hand, and I could clearly feel that she was looking at my various places. When it came to the heart, she lingered for a long time.
"Can you hear me?"
I was shocked, can we exchange ideas?
"Your heart is different, there's a knife mark."
Knife marks? Could it be that you are born with teeth?
"It should be true, according to what you said, the power was in the heart before, as if it was sealed, and the natural teeth cut it, and the power flowed out and went to all parts of the body. Maybe it wasn't natural teeth that saved you. ”
So I saved myself?
Tsuiko let go of her fingers, "What do you think of yourself?" ”
"Well, I think there's a good chance you're talking about."
"Anyway, it's a good thing, let's go."
Yes, I don't have to rely on others anymore, and I can even protect my dear people.
