Chapter 141
The cold autumn wind blew on Zhen Xiang's face, she nibbled on the apple in her hand and looked at the car behind her at the pile of more than ten catties of the same red fruit, and regretted why she bought so many apples on impulse.
"It would be nice if there was a good wolf in the car." Zhen Xiang felt that so many apples should have Heluo on them, but she didn't have Heluo, the virtuous wolf, only the phantom thunder wolf Leighsy who didn't know where at this time.
Lily was a little curious: "Sister Zhen Xiang, is it really good to let those two children go back with their families like this?" If someone else went there and found the two children, wouldn't they still be taken away? ”
"Don't worry, they won't be taken away." Zhen Xiang said with a smile: "I already know that the villagers of Sinado Village love their children, and they will definitely be more careful to protect these two children in the future...... And Lord Wilde will definitely give enough help to Sinado Village, and those two children may become the only ones among the orcs who can grow up healthily......"
Zhen Xiang has confidence in the villagers of Sinado Village, and she believes that the villagers rescued by Jun Xun will do their best to protect the two "gifts" from Jun Xun in order to repay Jun Xun's kindness.
Zhen Xiang, who left Sinado Village in this way, also got apples from the villagers of Sinado Village when he left.
It's just that Zhen Xiang felt that he couldn't eat so many apples, so he had to accept some of them. But this part is also more than ten catties, and I don't know when Zhen Xiang will eat so many apples.
Lily herself only ate a few apples and then stopped eating, mainly because the apples couldn't be eaten by the old O's mother, and Lily seemed to have recently developed the habit of not being able to eat anything without the old O's mother.
The two of them had spent about four or five days on the affairs of Sinado Village, and the caravan at this time was estimated to have left the two far behind. Zhen Xiang and the others couldn't continue to catch up, but they weren't in a hurry to chase Kyle's caravan, anyway, Zhen Xiang didn't expect to go back in a hurry, she still wanted to spend some time on the road.
At this time, Zhen Xiang seemed to have forgotten that he was not originally from this world, and seemed to have forgotten that what he should do was not to wander around this continent with leisure and elegance, but to return to the original world.
Ania had already said that she had no way to send Zhen Xiang back, and Tang Yihan needed to get all her energy back.
The current Zhen Xiang doesn't help Tang Yihan, it is completely not to delay her only chance to go back indefinitely, and the longer she delays, the smaller the chance of her going back.
The Holy Maiden of the Temple had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, and at this time she and Lily's carriage was walking on the official road to the Temple, and they were still more than 2,000 kilometers away from the Temple.
"Where are we now?" Zhen Xiang nibbled on an apple and asked Lily, "Is there anything interesting around here?" ”
"Fun?" Lily was a little dazed: "I don't know what is fun, but if I have to say, I remember that there is an animal living around here, and it tastes delicious......"
One sentence made Zhen Xiang's eyes shine, something delicious? So how can you miss it? Zhen Xiang, as a Chinese citizen, has lived all his life to eat.
So Zhen Xiang came to Lily's side and pulled the reins in Lily's hand: "Where is it, let's go find it?" ”
"I've only listened to what others say, and I haven't eaten it myself." Lily smiled, "It seems to be a creature called a sand fish, a fish that lives in the sand." ”
"How does it taste compared to the fish we bought from the caravan before?"
Lily shook her head slightly: "There is a world of difference - the number of sandfish is not only scarce and difficult to catch, but the manpower and material resources required to catch a sandfish are not comparable to ordinary fish." The difficulty of obtaining sandfish is even more difficult than that of many monsters, and it is said that even the Pope is difficult to eat...... Sister Zhen Xiang, haven't you eaten it? ”
"Nonsense, if I ever eat it, I'll ask you." Zhen Xiang began to wonder, is such a precious ingredient praised simply because it is scarce or because it is really delicious?
After thinking for a long time, Zhen Xiang said: "Let's go find it, I want to taste what it tastes like." ”
This sentence made Lily's eyes almost pop out - do you want to taste it? I just said that the degree of acquisition of that thing is far more than most monsters, how do you find it?
But Zhen Xiang doesn't care so much, she simply wants to taste what the so-called sandfish tastes like, and if it's really delicious, she may also plan to catch it in large quantities.
Seeing that Zhen Xiang didn't seem to have any intention of giving up, Lily had no choice but to say: "If you continue to go a little further, you can see a sandy area, although it is not very large, but it is also the size of two or three cities. In that sandy area lives the sandfish I just mentioned. ”
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go. ”
In this way, the two of them walked quickly for a while, and then came to the sandy land that Lily said, and the sandy land that Zhen Xiang looked at at this time seemed to be a boundless desert, but this sandy land actually covered an area far from being a desert.
"Right in here?" Zhen Xiang was a little excited: "What about the sand fish? The sandfish is in there, right? How do I find a sand fish? ”
Lily spread her hands and said, "Wait, the sandfish will jump out of the water from time to time to breathe the outside air, and then you can catch it." But we don't know where the sandfish are, and it's not easy to find a sandfish in such a large sandy area. ”
Just waiting here? Zhen Xiang and the others were at the edge of the sand at this time, Zhen Xiang felt that they should not look for sand fish on the edge, so he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the sand: "I'll go inside and take a look, you watch here and don't let the carriage run away." ”
After all, the carriage could not enter the sand, Zhen Xiang walked towards the depths of the sand alone, and every time he stepped out of the footprint, he felt as if his body was about to sink in.
"Is the desert of the real world like this......" Zhen Xiang has never been to the desert and doesn't know what the desert of the earth is like. But at this time, the sandy land where Zhen Xiang was located was completely unable to stand firmly, and when he stepped on it, basically the entire soles of his feet would be covered with sand.
And every time he goes deep into the center of the sand, he will feel that he is sinking deeper, is this true that Zhen Xiang will be directly swallowed into the sand as he walks?
"Sister Zhen Xiang! Don't go too far into the sand, it is said that there are not only sandfish living in the sand, but also a monster called Keane, which can ...... at any time if you don't pay attention."
Before Lily finished speaking, Zhen Xiang felt the sand under his feet rise like boiling water.
In an instant, Zhen Xiang's body was knocked away by a huge monster that came out from under his feet, and Zhen Xiang couldn't see what was attacking him.
But Lily could see clearly not far away, the fish that looked like it had legs was the monster that was rewarded in the Adventurer's Guild, and it was also the monster that Lily just said - Keane.
"Sister Zhen Xiang!" Lily didn't care about the carriage or the carriage, she jumped up from the carriage and struck the huge monster that came out of the sand, her hands slashing between her waists, pulling out two short knives and spinning in the air and slashing at Keane.
Keane, the monster who lived in the sand, seemed to be much harder than Lily had thought, and her two short knives could only spark when they slashed at each other's bodies, but could not slash their bodies.
Lily's goal is to kill the monster in front of her first, although Zhen Xiang was knocked away, but according to Zhen Xiang's skills, there is no need to worry about being injured because of this. As a successful adventurer, Lily understands that this monster hidden in the sand must not be allowed to return to the sand again.
After failing to kill Keane with a single blow, the opponent's massive body fell into the sand and quickly disappeared.
Lily and Zhen Xiang landed on the sand, and although they didn't fall into it, they couldn't stand firm because the ground under their feet was too soft.
"Sister Zhen Xiang, are you okay?" Lily held Zhen Xiang and wanted to help him up, but she hadn't even been able to stand firmly, and the sand under her feet swallowed both of their bodies.
The limbs struggling in the panic could not push the surrounding sand away, and neither of them could see the situation in front of them clearly, and at this time, Zhen Xiang was bitten by some huge creature on his waist, as long as the other party used a little more force, Zhen Xiang could be broken by the waist.
Almost subconsciously, Zhen Xiang struggled to hit the creature that bit him, but because of the resistance of the sand, he couldn't attack the other party in the first place.
The monster that bit Zhen Xiang loosened its mouth and quickly retreated, Zhen Xiang's punch failed to hit the enemy, but it bought them time to escape.
The two of them turned over the sand covering them and tried to climb up, but what they didn't expect was that there were not only sandfish and the monster Keane living in the sand, but also more and more strange small creatures that had burrowed into Zhen Xiang and Lily's clothes at this time.
Zhen Xiang, who was climbing up, was strongly stimulated by something, and Zhen Xiang's body was unable to move as if it had been hit by a strong electric shock.
Lily couldn't see Zhen Xiang's situation at this time and crawled upwards by herself, and Lily, who finally left the sand, turned back to look for Zhen Xiang, but didn't see the other party's figure.
"Sister Zhen Xiang? Where are you? Sister Zhen Xiang? ”
There was no way to open the sand to find it, she didn't know where Zhen Xiang was at this time, and Zhen Xiang couldn't make a sound to call for help, so she could only wait in the sand to die of lack of oxygen.
"Sister Zhen Xiang?! Don't scare me! Come out! Sister Zhen Xiang! No matter how Lily called, there was no way to call Zhen Xiang back, and after falling into the sand just now, Lily's double knives also fell in, and at this time she could only dig the sand empty-handed to find out where Zhen Xiang was.
In the sand, Zhen Xiang could hear Lily calling, she was only less than twenty centimeters away from the surface of the sand at this time, but such a short twenty centimeters was not something Zhen Xiang could break through.
Zhen Xiang doesn't know when he has been encountering this situation since he started, and he has always brushed shoulders with death in all kinds of dangers, but what about this time?
Every time Zhen Xiang seems to have someone to save him, but this time Zhen Xiang doesn't seem to be waiting for someone to save him - Lily is looking for herself in a hurry outside, and she can't tell Lily where her location is.
"Get moving......" A voice sounded in his head, Zhen Xiang seemed to hear someone calling him: "Get moving." ”
Move it? To put it lightly, he is now poisoned, and he can't act at all.
"Move......" The voice sounded again, and Zhen Xiang didn't know what to do, but she tried very hard to shake her arm, but her actions could only make her arm move less than a centimeter slightly.
"Get moving." Zhen Xiang is used to this voice, just move, what else?
Zhen Xiang wanted to twist his neck, but his head turned slightly, as if he was a little relaxed, and he was no longer completely unable to move as he was just now.
Turning his wrist again, Zhen Xiang felt a warm current coming from all over his body, and his whole body was as comfortable as if he had been thrown into a hot spring.
With a "bang", Zhen Xiang's arm broke through the sand and came out of it, which also attracted the attention of Lily, who was looking for it.
Suddenly, an arm came out of front of her, and Lily didn't want to go up and grab the owner of the arm, and pulled it out of the sand.
Zhen Xiang's body was pulled out by Lily's strong force, and it rotated three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, and finally fell to the ground, Zhen Xiang, who was lying on the ground, complained: "Can't you be a little lighter......
I thought I would get Lily's apology or something, but Lily didn't respond to Zhen Xiang at all, and it seemed that she couldn't speak because of something.
Zhen Xiang turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" Feel sorry for me? ”
Lily pointed to Zhen Xiang's back and said, "Sister Zhen Xiang, your body is ...... What's going on? Why do you have a tail? ”
Tail? Zhen Xiang looked behind him again, and there was really a tail wagging behind him.
"What the hell!" Zhen Xiang, who was startled, turned over and jumped up, she never thought that there was a tail on her body, and that tail came out from under her skirt, as if it really grew on herself.
With curiosity, Zhen Xiang reached out and touched the tail vertebrae under the skirt, and sure enough, it seemed to be growing on it, and a slender cat tail appeared on Zhen Xiang's buttocks.
Since they all have tails, shouldn't they ......
Zhen Xiang reached out and touched the top of his head, and sure enough, a pair of cat ears that did not belong to humans had grown on the top of his head at this time.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Zhen Xiang asked Lily.
Lily shook her head and said, "I don't think it's a dream, and if it's a dream, why are we dreaming together?" Can you still form a team in this dream? ”
Zhen Xiang didn't hate that she had cat ears and tails, she was just curious about what was going on.
How did you say that she was a good Templar and became an orc?
Looking at the tail behind him, Zhen Xiang seemed to have forgotten that they should also pay attention to the monster Kean in this sand at this time.
Just thinking about it, Zhen Xiang's ears heard that something was approaching them in the sand, and they came to Zhen Xiang's feet in an instant.
Zhen Xiang jumped away with ease, and the place where she was standing just now was also broken through by the monster Kean in the sand.
"Meow!" Zhen Xiang didn't expect this sound to suddenly pop out of her mouth, she grabbed the hind legs of the monster Kean who rushed out of the sand, although the fish with long legs was disgusting, Zhen Xiang was a little excited.
Kean didn't expect that his sneak attack would be dodged by this human, and then Zhen Xiang pressed Kean to the sand, uncharacteristically grabbing the other party with his fingernails instead of his fists.
The fish scales on Kean's body were caught by Zhen Xiang and flew all over the sky, and the defense it was proud of was broken through by Zhen Xiang so easily.
Quickly scraped a piece of the opponent's body without fish scales defense, Zhen Xiang aimed at it and grabbed it - the nails that grew out at some point were also slightly different from human fingernails. It looks more like the claws of a beast.
The sharp nails broke through the skin of the other party and easily tore apart the monster's body, Zhen Xiang didn't notice Lily's surprised expression behind her at this time, she just tore Keane's body vigorously, and it didn't take long for the monster to be torn apart by Zhen Xiang's throat and died.
It's a bit strange that they look like fish, but they actually rely on their throats to breathe like mammals.
But Zhen Xiang didn't pay so much attention, she just bit down on the blood-gushing corpse after killing the other party, and got rid of a primitive person who drank blood.
However, after she tasted the bloody smell of blood and raw meat, she spit it out, and Zhen Xiang, who almost vomited, scolded: "What is this...... It's not good at all......"
Lily also saw behind Zhen Xiang that Zhen Xiang's tail and ears disappeared at this time, and changed back to their original appearance.
With Lily's call, Zhen Xiang looked back at Lily and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"You...... You okay? Lily asked, but she still didn't dare to approach Zhen Xiang.
Zhen Xiang's situation just now was too weird, but she was puzzled at this time: "Me? What's wrong with me? ”
"You just turned into an orc...... Forgot? ”
Zhen Xiang looked at Lily and pointed at herself, she looked down and found the monster Kean under her, but this situation ...... Did you do it yourself?
Zhen Xiang looked at Lily inquiringly and said, "This ...... Did I do it? ”
Seeing Lily nodding, Zhen Xiang began to wonder what he had just done.
Even if such a monster was killed by himself, Zhen Xiang shouldn't be so cruel, right? Just smash the other party's head, why disembowel the other party.
But...... Zhen Xiang stared at Kean under him and said, "This guy lives in the same sand as you said, right?" So what does it taste like...... Will it be the same as the sand fish? ”
"I don't know...... You're not going to eat this guy, are you? ”
Zhen Xiang nodded violently: "I've killed all of them, so I can't just leave it alone!" What a waste! ”
Lily was also a little speechless at Zhen Xiang's somewhat out-of-the-box way of thinking, and she smiled bitterly: "In this case, let's drag this guy out, it's not convenient to be in the sand." ”
