Chapter 5: The Adventures of a Dumb Man
Keel Town, as the name suggests, is built by the skeleton of the dragon in the village and town.
"Keel, it's spectacular. β
Sunan Xing sat on a tree at the top of the mountain, crossed one leg, cushioned his arm, and supported his cheek with one hand, looking into the town.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a dragon bone, which is said to be a relic left by the war between the two realms of spirit and demon tens of thousands of years ago.
According to Sunan Xing's eyes, the skeleton was like a train, even bigger than a train, big enough to encircle the entire village and town.
Surrounded by mountains and separated from the outside world, the town has an independent living body and can be self-sufficient.
Although there is a river in the valley that connects to the mountains, there are few boats sailing. Only in autumn and winter will there be sporadic literati and ink writers, who come to hear rumors just to see the style of the keel.
But this river, the current is fierce and narrow, and even the most famous boatmen in the town are only discouraged during the flood season.
And now, it is the flood season, no outsiders come, everyone lives their own small lives.
But eight months ago, a farmer in the town went up the mountain to chop firewood and suddenly disappeared, and the family searched for a long time, but found the farmer's clothes and bones in a cave.
Since then, the doom of Dragonbone Town has begun.
"Every other month, one person is eaten. Su Nanxing looked at the file Zhou Zimo gave him and muttered.
So, the mayor here and a few butchers came up with a solution: sacrifice
They found that if a sacrificed person was sent to the cave where the farmer's bones were found at a certain time, no one would be killed in the town for a month.
So, the mayor ordered the villagers in the town to draw lots to choose the children to be sacrificed.
This time, the father of the child who was drawn could no longer bear it, he took the only remaining water and dry food at home, non-stop, and in seven days, he finally turned out of Dragon Bone Town and came to the foot of Xuanling Mountain.
......
Zhou Zimo's original words were: "Just find out what kind of demon beast is making trouble, come back and report the situation, and Xuanling Mountain will send someone to solve it, remember not to act without authorization." β
The task given by this master is simple and can come out to play and gain a long insight, and Sunan Xing is very satisfied. But the thought of Itotong's follow-up mission really made him feel chills.
[Itoshi has detected that the host has arrived within the range of Dragonbone Town]
[Please talk to a specific target to start a follow-up mission]
Sunan Star: "Want a conversation start?"
Sunan Xing: "Then if I don't talk to people, won't I be able to start?"
γ......γ
Sunan Xing: "Haha, then I decided to be a dumb person from now on." "As long as you don't start that perverted mission, it's not a big deal not to talk for the time being, anyway, out of Dragonbone Town, he'll be out of the sea of suffering. It's also good to have a way to dodge.
[After the mission starts, the reward is 100 points per day, are you sure you want to dodge?]
Sunan Star: "......"
[This quest is the only way to earn points]
Sunan Xing: "Go to your points, Lao Tzu's wife Lao Tzu will find it by himself!"
Although the help of Itoji is indeed very tempting, once this mission is started, it is to be a follower for the rest of your life.
If this particular target is just an ordinary villager, it's better to say, it's a big deal to tie up a sack, take it wherever you go, and live in the opposite door in the future, that's it.
But if you meet a hero who travels all over the world and takes protecting the world as his own responsibility, it will be miserable, is it possible that the whole family will be a pervert and follow others in the future?
Su Nanxing shook his head, with a bitter and bitter face, and said, "Hey, you still have to rely on yourself." β
After speaking, he took out the silver long sword "Xinling" on his back and flew down.
Before leaving, Su Nanxing deliberately went to Yunxiao Peak for a few days, and finally managed to use the spiritual power of this body freely and easily. The simplest Edgeworth flight is naturally a piece of cake~
has completely put his hands on the sword, his face is pale, his knuckles are clicking, and the past of crying his father and calling his mother is completely forgotten when the wind blows.
In order not to startle the snake, he had to make a big circle from behind the mountain and follow the river into the town.
.
.
.
The appearance of Dragonbone Town was similar to what he had seen on the top of the mountain.
It's just immersive, and there is a little more of a different style.
There is a bit like the style of Yunnan villages, although Sunan Xing has not traveled there in his previous life, but the travel agency still received a lot of leaflets. As far as the picture is concerned, the two look a little similar, but they give people a completely different feeling.
In the center of the town there is a main road paved with gravel, which is only wide enough for five people to walk side by side.
On the right side of the road are tightly packed houses on the hill, with thatched roofs sliding to the ground with a ticking sound and a green onion scattered on the white walls of the houses.
On the left side of the road is a large area of farmland.
Sunan Star can imagine that there were people coming and going here in the past, and it was a lively scene.
Now, the town is shrouded in fog and feels like a ghost town. There was not a single pedestrian on the street, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the crops in the fields had long since dried up, and there was not a trace of life in this land.
"Immortal Master. β
"Here. β
Suddenly, a young man stepped out of the house at the end of the road, which was the only two-story building in the town.
"I'm the mayor here. Immortal Master, please come with me. The young mayor whispered.
"......" Su Nanxing nodded.
You must remember that you can't talk, you can't talk...
The mayor welcomed Sunan Xing into the room, the furnishings in this room were very simple, as soon as he entered the door, the first thing that caught his eye was two big men sitting on the chairs at the small table, holding one of their legs, showing more and more rudeness.
It should be the butcher mentioned in the file.
Mayor of the Town: "We have received the letter sent by the blue bird a few days ago from Xuanling Mountain, and during the information of the immortal master exploring the demon beast this time, please settle down with me, if you need anything, you can directly find me, and the rest will be fine." β
Su Nanxing nodded twice with a serious face.
The mayor of this town is really calm, and ordinary people who see Xuanling Mountain in this situation will cry and shout and beg Daxian to save me or something.
It's okay, this mayor is not a man of many words, Su Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight to the second floor.
"Snap"
"Snap"
As soon as Su Nanxing turned around, there was a boy squatting on the side of the stairs on the second floor, about five or six years old.
The boy smashed a stone on the ground with two fingers, and at the moment when the two stones collided, the stone on the ground flew up and was quickly caught by the boy with two fingers.
The one he threw out was ready to take the place of the other stone on the ground.
What a clever approach!
Su Nanxing couldn't help but secretly admire, is any child in this world so powerful?
Wait, this kid?
This month, tomorrow night, the child who will be sacrificed alive!
"We must save this child. Su Nanxing walked into the room quickly, closed the door with his backhand, and muttered to himself.
The sun's rays were getting dimmer and dimmer, and the setting sun that slanted into the door pulled the shadows of several people in the room.
The mayor standing at the door looked up at the sky and said slowly, "It's time, bring that child here." β
"Hmm"
"Alas, Mayor Mare! Why is that child gone! β
"What ! "
"Look!" The butcher handed a note to the mayor.
"I have returned the child to his mother. Today's things will go from below. β
......
Sunan Xing left a note and followed the path of the villagers to the sacrifice and went up the mountain early, and found a hidden place outside the cave where the sacrifice was made - hiding behind a boulder, waiting for the opportunity.
He looked up at the moon, and it was already time for the full moon to glow with an eerie light.
No matter what kind of monster it is, it's time to come out and slip around.
Suddenly, there was a loud creaking sound in the distant mountain forest, as if a tree had been knocked and broken by force.
Sunan Xing hid behind the stone, stretched out his right hand to his back* tightened the hilt of the Xinling sword on his back, and slowly leaned out of his upper body.
What caught his eye was a huge demon beast.
This monster beast was born extremely ugly, with a body like an elephant, covered with scales, and two whisker-like tentacles on its head, which was said to be like a dragon, but it was too far away, just like the dragon's head and tail were directly connected together, and there was no middle part.
But apart from these, Sunan Star really can't think of anything else it looks like.
Watching the demon beast walk into the cave step by step, Sunan Xing came out from behind the stone, flashed to the outside of the cave in an instant, leaned against the stone wall, quietly poked out a little bit of his head, and looked inside.
Originally, I thought that the demon beast that did not see the sacrifice would be furious, but the cave was surprisingly calm.
As usual, the moonlight was like water, the trees were growing quietly, and the people were falling asleep, but such a sudden silence was extremely terrifying in Sunan Xing's heart at this time.
It's like the silence before a rainstorm......
Dead silence before the waves......
Foreseeing the nightmare that is coming......
Sunan Star: "! ! ! β
There was a little boy squatting in the cave, playing a game of throwing stones!
Isn't it the child I saw at the mayor's house to be sacrificed? Obviously he had already sent him home, how could these people be!
Seeing the demon beast approaching the child, Sunan Xing couldn't care so much, pulled out the spirit behind him, and ran into the cave.
Sunan Xing: "Be careful! "
"Be careful, it's you. The boy slowly stood up and grinned in his childish voice.
Sunan Star: "?"
γCongratulationsγ
[Completed the dialogue with the special target, and the follow-up mission has been started~ Please pay attention]
Sunan Star: "???"
