Chapter 197: The little rabbit is not well-behaved
A man with a bow and arrow stood in front of the campfire, clapping his hands exaggeratedly and singing loudly, seemingly a little insane, oblivious to the entry of Damon and Seline into the room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The smell of blood was in the air, and it felt weird. Dai Dameng had a chill down his spine, and cautiously stepped forward to greet him: "Hey, hello, may I ask ......?"
"Huh?" The man jerked his head back, revealing a pair of red eyes, and said with a hideous face, "Someone must die!" It's you! Die! ā
The man took off his bow, stretched out his bow and took his arrow, and aimed it at Dai Dameng.
Startled, Dai Dameng raised his hand and struck the man away, slammed it against the wall, and fell to the ground, without moving.
"Dead?" Dai Dameng couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, even if the other party wanted to attack him, and he was still a madman, but after killing that person, Dai Dameng still felt unbearable.
Selene saw the entanglement in Dai Dameng's heart at a glance, and turned her mouth to the corner of the room, saying, "Idiot, what do you think it is?" ā
Dai Dameng hurriedly looked over, and saw a person lying on his side, barefoot, wearing a blue robe, with three long arrows stuck in his back, and the smell of blood came from that person.
The three long arrows, exactly the same as those used by the madman, pierced the man's body, and the arrows came out of his chest.
Looking at the skills just now, this madman is definitely not like Selene's stunt of firing three arrows in a row, it should be shot one by one, and the means are very cruel.
Dai Dameng, who had a trace of sympathy for the madman, also disappeared completely at this time.
Dai Daemon examined the body to see if there was anything that would identify the man. Next to the corpse, a green dagger was found, not gold or stone, but also not wood, very light and sharp, it should be a weapon of the elves, with "Boville" engraved on it, which should be the name of the deceased, and Dai Dameng then put the dagger in his arms.
There was an alchemy workbench in the room with two bottles of potions, and two bottles of potions on the chests around it, apparently the deceased was an alchemist, and this was his workshop. I just didn't expect that I would be broken into by a madman and lose my life.
While Daemon searched the body, Selene's attention was focused on searching the room. There was a backpack in the corner with some books and food in it, and a piece of parchment, Selene showed surprise on her face, and hurriedly greeted Dai Dameng, "Idiot, what is this?" ā
Dai Dameng leaned over and saw a stone bridge drawn on parchment, spanning the river, with towers on each side, and a red cross drawn on the river under the bridge.
"A painting." Dai Dameng pouted and said, "I made a mistake and made a red cross." ā
"I don't know!" Seileen gave him a blank look and said angrily, "This is a treasure map, and the red cross marks the location of the treasure." ā
"Treasure map?" Dai Dameng slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "I was deceived by Mauris, I found a piece of parchment like this in a deceased's hut with him, and he lied to me that the deceased was a lover of painting, and the red cross means that the painting was wrong." ā
"When you first came out of the village, you were as simple as a child, and it's strange that you don't get deceived." Celine pointed to the twin towers on the parchment and said, "Didn't you notice that this place is very familiar?" ā
Dai Dameng immediately recognized, "This is where you met Daona." ā
"Yes, it's Waltham Tower." Selene said excitedly: "It's near Xueman, but it saves us from looking everywhere, and the next time we go to Xueman, we will go to find treasures." ā
"No, that's my treasure......"
Suddenly there was a shout, and the madman who was knocked down by Dai Dameng actually struggled to get up, and his face was still hideous, but his eyes were no longer red, and he did not have a crazy look.
Seeing that he was not dead, Dai Dameng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Hey, you're not crazy?" ā
"Ahem......" the man said with a painful cough, "I am a traveler and have come here to stay overnight, and I have met this perverted wizard who tricked me into drinking a bad drink, and then I went crazy and did terrible things. Now I regret it very much, you give me back the treasure map, and I'll leave. ā
"You're lying!" Selene pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "He was barefoot, with an arrow in his back, obviously defenseless at the time, obviously you killed him first." He accidentally drank the medicinal liquor he had configured. Get out of here now, or I'll kill you!" ā
"You ......" A trace of viciousness flashed in the man's eyes, but he was glared at by Dai Dameng, and the man was immediately discouraged and limped away.
"Lady, how do you know he's lying?" Dai Dameng looked at Selene, pouted and said, "I see that you just want to steal his treasure map!" ā
"Is that kind of person, old lady?" Selene looked unhappy, took out a roll of parchment and said, "This is an alchemical record, which records the results of his experiments. This man is an alcoholic who discovers that troll fat and flying mushrooms can increase his combat power, so he uses them to make medicinal wine. But the medicinal liquor made can have violent side effects, and he is looking for a way to eliminate them. It's a pity that before he could finish it, he was killed by the traveler who wanted to make money. ā
"I see," Dai Dameng couldn't help but sympathize with the alchemist named Burville, "Sister, do you think we shouldn't let that traveler go?" ā
"Some people deserve to die, but they don't deserve to die at your or my hands." Selene put away the alchemy record, shook her head and said, "Even if we are on the side of morality, we don't have the right to casually dispose of other people's lives and deaths. ā
"Well, I understand." Dai Dameng nodded, at this point, Selene and Brother Guiren have the same attitude, they are both righteous and merciful, and this common point between them is what Dai Dameng likes.
After a night's rest, Dinemon and Selene head to the shore of the Sea of the Dead.
Winter in the sky was unusually cold, the waves of the Sea of the Dead were frozen, the sea and the land were connected, and the shore was full of towering icebergs and bottomless ice crevasses.
The icy wind, blowing from the Sea of the Dead, is like coming from hell, making people feel like their bone marrow is frozen.
The vast snowfield, a radius of hundreds of miles, empty and uninhabited, Dai Dameng and Seline walked between the vast snowfield, like two tiny ants.
After a long journey, Diomon finally came to the place marked by Floki by the sea, with towering icebergs on one side and a frozen sea of the dead on the other, still maintaining the appearance of rough waves.
The guardian spirits of the second layer of sacred trials are relatively large, the height of the giant bear spirit is six meters, and the height of the mammoth spirit seems to be a mountain peak, Dai Dameng guessed that the body of the saber-toothed tiger spirit will also be extremely large, and it should be very conspicuous, but Dai Dameng looked up, but he couldn't see the saber-toothed tiger spirit.
Demon walked back and forth in the area marked by Floki several times, leaving his footprints on almost every snowy field, but there was still no trace of the saber-toothed tiger spirit.
What's going on? Dai Dameng couldn't help but be anxious, with Floki's annotation and Selene's guidance, there would be nothing wrong with the local Jedi. In the last two trials, as soon as Dai Dameng approached the trial site, the spirit of the bear and the spirit of the mammoth both took the initiative to appear, why didn't the spirit of the saber-toothed tiger appear this time?
"Idiot, don't rush." Selene also saw that Dai Dameng was in trouble, although she didn't know about the Holy Spirit Trial, but she knew that Dai Dameng needed to calm down the most at this time. Selene reminded Daymon, "Have you forgotten something? Guardian spirits are soul bodies, and they need to be seen with the heart, not the eyes. ā
A sentence reminded Dai Dameng, "Thank you, sister!" ā
Dai Dameng immediately sat down, closed his eyes and went into meditation.
After the divine trial, Dai Dameng's spiritual power reached the expert level, and in the sea of knowledge, it was as vast as the starry sky, and Dai Dameng's soul was condensed as an entity, sitting in the center of the starry sky.
After a long time, as Dai Dameng's thoughts emptied, the heavens and the earth seemed to be still, a snowflake, a trace of wind, all clearly distinguishable.
Dai Dameng opened his eyes suddenly, only to see a transparent phantom standing in front of him, its outline was extremely light, and the appearance of the saber-toothed tiger could be vaguely seen, and the wind and snow passed through the body, as if it was integrated with heaven and earth, without a trace of breath, as if it did not exist at all.
But Dai Dameng knew that he was absolutely not dazzled, nor did he hallucinate, and what he saw in front of him was the spirit of the saber-toothed tiger.
Dai Dameng said respectfully, "Great guardian spirit, I have come to accept your trial. ā
"There's a bunch of messy rabbits in the snowfield, and it's a nuisance to run around. You go and catch one. The voice of the saber-toothed tiger spirit sounded faintly from Dai Dameng's sea of knowledge.
"Catch rabbits?" He has the power of a giant bear and a mammoth, and catching a rabbit is not a piece of cake? Dai Dameng couldn't help but be stunned, "It's so simple? But what does this have to do with the divine trials? Could it be that the spirit of the saber-toothed tiger is hungry? ā
"Wait, I'll catch the rabbit." Dai Dameng stood up and leaned in to look for the rabbit, but he found that his body was very heavy.
Dai Dameng was surprised to find that his body no longer had the power of a giant bear, no longer the power of a mammoth, no longer any power of a guardian spirit, but only the power of his own simple physical body.
"What's going on? What about my strength? Also, what about my old sister? Dai Dameng looked around, and there was no trace of Selene, and even the footprints on the snow were his own, and Selene seemed to have never appeared.
Although Dai Dameng was puzzled in his heart, he didn't think too much, and it was important to catch rabbits at the moment.
After losing the power of protection, his body seemed to suddenly weaken, Dai Dameng was very unaccustomed to it, but fortunately, his physical strength was originally very strong, and soon after, Dai Dameng was used to it, and ran in the snowfield.
Snow rabbits, snow-white fur are natural camouflage and are very difficult to find in the snow. Fortunately, they were running around and messing around, as the spirit of the saber-toothed tiger said, and after a while, Dai Dameng found a rabbit and immediately rushed towards it.
The snow was very deep, and the snow rabbit ran very slowly, but Dai Dameng ran even slower, and every time he stepped down, the snow was up to his knees, and Dai Dameng ran hard in the snow, and after a while he was tired and panting, but the rabbit chased farther and farther.
"What the hell is this! How can a man catch up with a rabbit? Dai Dameng complained, and despite his superhuman physical strength, after a few laps, he couldn't hold on, and sat in the snow nest, panting for breath.
When the rabbit saw that Dai Dameng was not chasing, he did not run, but slowly approached, stopped about ten meters away from Dai Dameng, stood up, stared at Dai Dameng with a pair of fiery eyes, and looked at Dai Dameng curiously.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Dai Dameng even saw a mocking smile on the rabbit's face.
"You dare to laugh at me?" Dai Dameng couldn't help but be furious, jumped up violently, and chased after the rabbit.
The rabbit was startled, turned around and ran, but after running a few steps, he found Dai Dameng sitting on the snow again, and the rabbit turned back and stood ten meters away, looking at Dai Dameng curiously.
Not one, all of a sudden, there were a lot of rabbits in the snow around Dai Dameng, all over the mountains, there were thousands, all staring at Dai Dameng with a pair of blood-red eyes, looking at Dai Dameng with mockery.
The rabbit became more and more bold, jumping and jumping, and actually walked to a place about four meters in front of Dai Dameng, one by one, densely packed, and several could be trampled to death with one foot.
If you can't catch the rabbit this way, Dai Dameng might as well die.
Dai Dameng slammed towards the most dense place of rabbits, the rabbits were suddenly in chaos, running in all directions, Dai Dameng circled his arms, stopped more than a dozen rabbits, and his body pressed down like a mountain.
Burst! Dai Dameng fell into the snow nest, the rabbits scattered, and a few actually ran over his head, Dai Dameng didn't care, and pulled under his body with both hands, but there seemed to be nothing.
Dai Dameng stood up, only to see that the snow nest he had fallen down was empty, and there was not a single rabbit. "Damn!" Dai Dameng couldn't help but curse.
The pesky rabbits jumped up and down again, their blood-red eyes glaring at each other, and the sneer on their faces even thicker.
After several attempts to no avail, Dai Dameng's heart calmed down, "No! This is a sacred trial, catching a rabbit is just a appearance, the spirit of the saber-toothed tiger asked me to catch a rabbit, there must be a deep meaning, what is he trying to teach me? ā
Ignoring the rabbits, he sat down and fell into deep thought.
The cold wind blew snowflakes and fell on his head and body, but Dai Dameng didn't pay attention at all.
After a long time, maybe a day, maybe longer, there were more and more snowflakes, and his body was covered with a thick layer, like a snowman. His fingers didn't move, his breathing became inaudible, and even his heartbeat slowed to the extreme. It was as if he was not a person, but a ball of snow, one with heaven and earth, without the slightest breath.
The rabbits could not detect Dai Damon's breath, and thought of him as a real snowman, and walked up to him, but Dai Dameng did not move.
The rabbits were even more daring, running under his men and gnawing on his fingers, but Dai Dameng remained unmoved.
The rabbits were unscrupulous and ran into his arms, and some of the rabbits even jumped on his head, jumping and playing, but Dai Dameng still did not move.
He knew that the rabbit was only an appearance, and the spirit of the saber-toothed tiger was to make him understand the skill to learn from catching rabbits, and this skill he had already learned, that is, concealment.
The saber-toothed tiger is good at ambushing, hiding its breath, waiting for its prey to enter the trap on its own, and launching a fatal blow.
Dai Dameng has learned to hide his breath and murderous aura at this time, these rabbits fell into an ambush, but he didn't know at all, Dai Dameng gently grabbed a rabbit, the captured rabbit felt as if it was touched by ice and snow, his body moved slightly, and he didn't struggle, and the other rabbits didn't feel the crisis at all.
"It's done!" Dai Dameng smiled, and with a hard grip, the rabbit shattered in his hand, turned into a ball of green light, and disappeared with a bang.
Bang bang bang, in an instant, all the rabbits on the surrounding snow turned into green light, a green storm rose on the snow field, the shadow of the saber-toothed tiger quietly came out of the green light, and the ethereal voice sounded from the sea of Dai Dameng's knowledge: "Very good, you have passed the trial, next, there is a cunning fox on the snow field, you go and catch it." ā
