Chapter 7: The Land of the Wraith
Even if the current position is different, Bucky still hopes to be able to make friends with the other party, of course, it is not the love of men and women now, as for love at first sight, it is impossible, it is impossible for a lifetime, and he will not confess, so he has to rely on the suspension bridge effect to maintain his heartbeat.
Far away......
Crossing the rope bridge without danger, using the map on the parchment scroll as a reference, Bucky continued to mark along the way, and Robin walked towards the primeval woods ahead.
The trees in this section of the forest were denser and taller, obscuring the sky, and only the sunlight in the dappled shadows barely illuminated the road ahead, Robin had already taken out an oil lamp from his backpack, and Bucky also clipped the dagger to his hand just in case.
As the journey progresses, there are far more dangers along the way than in the first half.
After walking a few steps, a large, colorful snake attacked from the shadow of the tree, spitting snake letters, revealing two sharp fangs, and biting at Robin, who was lighting the lamp.
"Falling apart. Catapult knife. Bucky's hands suddenly detached from his body, and the dagger in his hand cut the flower snake in two pieces in the air.
After a few more steps, the long-legged monkey with legs longer than his hands scratched at Bucky's red nose, which reflected the light.
"Falling apart. Flee urgently. Bucky's head suddenly left his body and hovered upward, and for a moment the long-legged monkey stared at it in shock, the knife in his hand stabbed it into the heart, killing it.
All sorts of jungle beasts struck from time to time, and although these beasts were strange in shape, they were not yet ferocious and devouring, but their succession still made Bucky have some color on him.
In the end, he simply carried a crow carcass about the size of a man to warn the beasts of the jungle, and after that, the beasts attacked a little less, far away from the uninvited guests in the two forests.
Before you know it, night falls, the stars are shining, and the beasts that are following behind, ready to strike a fatal blow, suddenly stagnate, as if touching some strange boundary, and slowly retreat, giving up the pursuit of Bucky and the two.
The inside of the forest began to become very quiet, quiet and eerie, even the rustle of leaves in the wind disappeared, as if the space was completely cut off.
Robin suddenly spoke: "There are ancestral ruins not far ahead, I heard that this is the cursed land of resentful spirits, once it is cursed, it will be imprisoned here with its soul and body, and there will be no escape from eternal life." ”
"Don't be serious about such horrible things." Bucky looked around warily, "There should be ...... in this world There won't be ghosts. ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and a moist soft thing pressed against his neck.
"Something!" Bucky immediately turned around, only to find that there was not even a ghost behind him, only the shadows of the trees swaying vaguely under the light of the oil lamp, and the surroundings were a little eerie.
"There seems to be something damoo here...... Be careful, Rednose-kun. Robin put his hands in front of him and stopped looking around.
"I'm ...... It doesn't really have to be like that Chris said there are resentful spirits, right?! Bucky couldn't help but drip a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart thumped, you must know that the fear in the human heart is a sharp weapon, this sharp weapon will cut layers of protection for itself at will in the depths of the heart, and then send infinite extreme imagination into it, so that the heart falls into endless darkness.
Especially now that Bucky has experienced the time-travel, he is even more suspicious of ghosts and gods.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through Bucky's head, and the hairband that tied his hair on his head fell off instantly, exposing a head of sea-blue hair to the air.
Bucky creeped: "Miss Robin, did you see anything!" ”
"What's wrong?" The moment Robin turned around, a green afterimage flashed at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch.
Bang!
The oil lamp in her hand fell to the ground strangely, shattered into pieces, and suddenly became extremely dark, and even the sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, blocking the starlight, and all the light in her vision disappeared, and everything fell silent in the darkness.
"Rednose-kun?!" Robin tried to shout.
"I'm here."
Hearing the familiar voice, Robin was slightly relieved and said calmly: "It's nothing ......"
Was she scared? Bucky looked in Robin's direction with some surprise, but he couldn't see the other party's expression at all, and all he saw was darkness, and ...... A demonic green light suddenly appeared in the quiet forest.
Bucky's breath suddenly choked, a large amount of cold sweat secreted from his forehead, and then a strange sense of danger quickly approached.
"Be careful!" Bucky, remembers Robin's position, reached out and pushed her, and with the latter's exclamation, Bucky's body was cut off by a powerful air current.
Rumble!
Several trees in the back row also fell in response, making a loud crash against the ground.
Bucky was a Splitter Fruit powerhouse, and the slash didn't do any real damage to him, his body regrouped, and when he looked forward, the glowing green light was gone.
Being slashed through his body, Bucky calmed down a little and muttered in a low voice, "This kind of physical slash shouldn't be a curse......
He couldn't judge, so he could only dispel the unknown fear in his heart, and at the same time, a more reasonable thought came to him: if it wasn't a curse or a ghost, someone was pretending to be a ghost......
Obviously, with Robin's IQ, he quickly thought of this, and when the bewitching green light lit up again, Robin's eyes were aimed at the green light, and his hands were crossed in front of him, "Six rounds of flowers bloom. Anchor Flower. ”
Her abilities had to be within her field of vision, and she was currently trying to catch them around that green light.
In the quiet jungle, I didn't hear any strange sounds, I saw the enchanting green light disappear quickly, and the sound of rustling sounded in the jungle, as if someone was hiding.
"It has entities!"
As a person with the ability to play a fruit, Robin's arm can feedback touch, and she has obtained a rather crucial information in the test just now.
Hearing Robin's words, a thought flashed through Bucky's mind, if someone was really pretending to be a ghost, it was probably Chris, the old village chief of Kodea Village.
Previously, he deliberately said that the ancestral ruins were the land of resentful spirits in order to confuse the public, and the parchment map given may also be a long road contrary to the ruins, the purpose of which was to send people to secretly copy the road, arrange the mechanism, and intimidate and force himself back, and the purpose was also obvious - in order not to let himself get close to this place.
Of course, it is also possible that the mastermind behind the scenes may be the remnants of the bandit leader, but after seeing the eyes of the bandits who fled in the desert, Bucky did not think that they still had the courage to fight.
The fear in his heart slowly subsided, and since he was not a demon or a ghost, and there were no resentful spirits, then things became much easier!
