Chapter 7: Warriors
The world is wide.
Wide skies.
And that wide runway.
Due to Valrhona's missile cleaning, the originally labyrinthine dense forest, at this moment, has been vacated by a long open space, which looks a little wide.
At this time, even if you pull a Tuatara, you can probably gallop without hindrance.
However, Kazama doesn't need Tuatara, because under him, there's a lizard, oh, sorry...... Maybe she should still be called "dragon".
Although she can't fly.
However, not being able to fly is not the most troublesome thing, the most troublesome thing is that although she can't fly, she has the speed of flying.
Light, shining in front of your eyes.
Shadow, fluttering in front of you.
The air currents, with the rustle of fallen leaves, accompanied by the loud sound of the wind, like the roar of an engine, pierced and unassuming.
The so-called riding the dust is probably this feeling.
For a moment, Kazama wanted to study what kind of muscle memory made these two legs and two wings work together so tacitly, but unfortunately, he didn't have time now.
The runway came to an abrupt end.
Shadow, in an instant, becomes mottled.
In front of us, there is a dense forest that has flourished again, and large areas of land stretch endlessly like waves of wheat.
"Hey, hey! Slow down, slow down, you're going to be hooked by a branch! Yes! My shoulders, well, cheeks...... Pain hurts pain ......"
While shouting and screaming, he quickly dodged the branches that were constantly stabbing at him, and Kazama raised his feathers, which had long lost his form as a person, and turned into a blurry silver-white afterimage, swaying left and right, and dodging the "tripping horses" without danger.
"You guy, you did it on purpose! Said to be a cute sister! This is obviously an old driver of drag racing! β
The whistling sound was quickly torn apart by the oncoming wind.
But the black shadow below her had no intention of stopping at all, or rather, in other words, she was very happy.
"Humph! Hum! It's just an angry sister! If you talk about other people, you'll become a cannibal sister! β
Although it is still the immature voice of a little girl, what is different from the little girl's form is that Valrhona, after the dragon, is obviously a lot more violent, both in terms of strength and personality.
As she said, although she still thinks of herself as a younger sister, but now, this identity seems to have nothing to do with the kind of precious creature that is cute, pitiful, respectable, funny, playful, and popped (crossed out) in one, except for the lethal power of Kazama Yangyu when he calls him "brother"!
If you want to say it, there is probably only a little bit of sister feeling left in the tsundere mode......
However, the problem is when tsundere meets violence...... The result is ......
"Bump!"
"Boom la la ......"
"Bone ......"
"Boom!"
"Ahββ! Stop, you stupid dragon!! β
A helpless roar, accompanied by this series of strange sound effects, quickly cut a cut in the silence of the dense forest.
It's like a sharp knife that cuts hard at a watermelon.
It's a pity that what is presented in front of everyone is not the delicious and juicy melon pulp, but the ...... Angry, native.
Killer bees that cover the sky, man-eating ants that cover the mountains, colorful and deadly man-eating flowers, mosquitoes that can suck people into dry corpses in one bite, huge crocodiles that lurk in the mud, and misty miasma that will faint when you smell it......
The vast jungle is like a great trap, full of all kinds of decoys and traps, alive, dead, beautiful, dangerous, abominable, pitiful...... There are many different forms.
The only similarity, perhaps, is the same purpose β hunting.
As for the prey, of course, it is...... Contestants.
Kazama raised his feathers and quickly glanced back, and behind him, there were scattered figures, hurrying after him.
Although it was a lot of distance away from the flat ground, after entering the dense forest, Valrhona slowed down due to her huge body.
On the other hand, those who came after them began to get closer.
It's just that the crowd that was originally black and oppressive, at this moment, has become sparse.
There was a figure, constantly falling in the miasma, accompanied by a terrible scream.
But the dense forest in front of me still seems to be endless, slowly spreading......
And, what's even worse is that I don't know if it's because I'm running too fast, or because my mount is too stupid, Kazama suddenly finds that he's lost......
Don't ask him how he knows, even a fool should understand this fact when he is bitten three times in a row by the same giant man-eating flower at the same angle, in the same posture, and with the same expression.
Unless, your brain is the size of a walnut.
"Hey, hey! Stop it! Stop me! β
Slapping Valrhona on the head, Kazama screamed loudly, trying to stop the running lizard.
It's a pity, just as he expected, when this guy moved, he was already immersed in the joy of running wildly, where would he listen to the "soft words" of his "brother".
At this time, there is probably only one thing that can make her stop.
"Dingβ"
There was a soft sound, and everything fell silent.
The black shadow suddenly paused.
It's like being suddenly petrified, without even a trace of acceleration.
Looking up, a pair of golden pupils stared at the gold coins in the sky.
Staring at it, it spun around leisurely, and then, it fell down again.
Straight down, fall to, that...... In the palm of your hand.
"Smack!"
With a soft sound, Kazama grabbed the gold coin.
At the corner of his mouth, there was a smug smile, which slowly opened, and Kazama looked straight down.
But what I saw was a pair of pitiful eyes.
"Bah! Creak! Creak! β
A strange sound came from the mouth of the dragon beneath him.
"Gold! Gold! Give them gold coins! β
"Don't give! Don't give! Just don't give! β
He made a big grimace, Kazama raised his feathers, and suddenly on a whim, he began to play tricks on the guys under him.
"Humph! So what do you take it out for! β
"To bully you~"
"......, huh...... Woowoo...... My brother bullied others...... People don't play with my brother anymore......"
There was a strange light that began to shine.
In the cry, the behemoth under him quickly shrunk.
In the blink of an eye, she turned into a poor little girl.
Kazama raised his feathers, slightly stunned, and unconsciously showed a wry smile on his face.
"Whoa! Here you go, here you go, next time you don't listen to my brother, I won't give it to you! β
Although I knew that it was a trap, and although I knew that the other party was obviously intentional, I still couldn't be indifferent.
"Yay! Hey! β
snatched the gold coin, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and his delicate eyes narrowed like a crescent.
The little girl's face suddenly showed a smile of satisfaction.
It's just that the smile hasn't had time to fully bloom, and the light and shadow flicker, but suddenly froze.
Stunned.
Completely stunned.
The little girl, staring blankly at the empty palm, did not come back to her senses for a long time.
"Stupid! Your coins have been robbed! β
Overhead, there was a sharp shout, and the little girl finally came back to her senses.
When I raised my eyes, I saw a thin green figure, like a ghost, quickly shuttling through the dense forest.
Shadow, flickering in a moment.
She didn't even bother to transform, Valrhona, and rushed straight out.
The wind came from the ears and blew the soft hair violently.
Like a fire, like the rising sun, like that...... Blazing golden eyes.
Perhaps because of the green, in this same green dense forest, the thin figure, unexpectedly with a camouflage-like effect, quickly moved and slipped away from another completely different direction.
It's like a cunning fox that, after stealing the hunter's lunch, is ready to flee.
But the problem now is that it wasn't the hunter who was stolen for lunch, but a dragon, an angry dragon.
Light and shadow are quickly replaced, so that the cells of the retina begin to be overwhelmed.
But Kazama raised his feathers, but he still kept his eyes open, staring at the flickering afterimage ahead.
Staring at it, a little, closer.
Kilometer.
100 meters.
Ten meters.
Three meters.
And then......
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
There was a shrill whistling whistle coming from behind him.
Along with it, the sinister gaze that suddenly looked back.
But Kazama raised his feathers, but showed a strange smile.
Without even looking back, a huge black shadow, like a steel whip, tore through the air.
"Smack!"
In the sound of the sonic boom, more than a dozen arrows were swept down by the huge dragon's tail like a dry branch.
"Uh...... You're not just trying to sneak up on us with these rusty arrows......"
Although he felt that he had been underestimated since he was stolen gold coins, at this moment, Kazama felt that this was no longer a matter of underestimation......
This is, hubris.
Yes, hubris, as it was written, on that slowly turning cheek.
At that moment, Kazama froze.
Not just because the one embedded in the rock wall looked like a gate to the next level, but also because of the guardian who stood in front of the gate.
Although there is a spirit called "Mount Tai collapses in front and the face does not change", the talent of the famous general is like a chicken, but at this moment, Kazama Yang Yu, does not want to be a famous general, nor does he want to show this kind of spirit.
After all, behind him, the people who swarmed from a distance were not the seven guards and eight bodyguards, let alone the thousands of troops and horses led by him, but the hungry young people.
Maybe it's because I'm worried that Kazama Yangyu, who is riding his sister, has spent too much physical strength and energy, and what kind of accident will happen, and the crowd behind him has surged up in the dark, even if it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "ten thousand horses take the lead".
But in fact, physical strength or something, energy or something, accidents or something, and even Kazama is dead or alive...... It doesn't matter, does it......
They just want a younger sister, or, a younger brother......
Because of Kazama's experience of "beating the dragon and giving away his sister", at this moment, the restless youth has already erupted.
Maybe...... Maybe the monster of this level, the guardian of this level, will also accidentally become a heart-warming girl or a heroic teenager?
Who can say for sure this unexpected twist?
But...... It's a pity that the ideal is always beautiful, and the reality is always skinny.
Yes, it's skinny.
There is no meat at all.
Looks, like a little kid who looks starved.
Silence, only for a moment.
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
At that moment, the boys and girls in the Garden of Eden laughed wildly.
For he that stands before them, who stands before them like a mighty man, is nothing else but ......
Goblins.
A goblin.
One looked a little skinny, like a starved child...... Goblins.
