Chapter 429: The Distance of a Liter of Wheat
Shuttling through layers of swamps where there was barely a bit of space, the speed of the two men was dizzying.
However, no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to cross half of the swamp in a few breaths.
Almost brushing the gap between Qin Jiuyuan's toes and the ground, the tentacle-like plants that grumbled in the muddy swamp wrestled and tore apart, and in the next second, several vines that were about to wrap around a stunned child between the elbows of the black merchant suddenly twisted heavily for a moment. The sharp cold slashed into the skin of the unknown plant, and the vines twisted wildly as if in pain, and the figure with the short knife in his hand brushed past the tip of the twist, not even leaving a shadow of distance.
It was distorted by the tentacle-like plant that stayed in place with the anger of human nature, but in the next second, after the figure holding the short knife, a pitch-black figure flew by.
Compared to the two figures who had passed through the moor before, the black shadow looked extremely strange and terrifying. It seemed to be completely wrapped in an unknown black mist, and the "black mist" on its body was still changing shape and emitting outward, as if it were alive.
It turned out to be a "human body" composed of dense flies flapping their wings.
In other words, when other people saw this strange scene, they were afraid that they would immediately hide away for fear of harming themselves, but at this moment, this strange plant that lived under the swamp did not care about this. Immediately, the tentacle-like vines twisted and whipped one after another, venting their anger at the two figures who had not had time to catch up on the parasitic human body.
The red-haired chase seemed to froze for a second, and then, it turned in a direction, and a large number of flies wrapped around the parasitic skin pressed towards several vines in a black cloud. After a few breaths, as some of the flies broke away from the surface of the skin, the tentacle-like vines that had been writhing with teeth and claws dried up completely, and when the wind blew, they completely shattered into powder.
The "red-haired" walked all the way through the moor, and the plants that did not distinguish between friend and foe were also dried up and scattered as if they had been crossed by locusts.
Qiu Xuan glanced back as if she felt something, only to see that the black shadow formed by the continuous divergence of flies behind her was still following her, and from where the black shadow passed, large swaths of dried and broken plants were also scattered on the moor.
And this feature.
She sighed with emotion, and at the same time, she was slapped the arm of the distraction that was looking backwards for this moment. As if thinking of something, Qiu Xuan only symbolically shook the few plants that climbed up the pole and twisted her arms all the way, and while raising her hand towards Qin Jiuyuan's side in front of her, she threw the last few Tooth Fairy puppets behind her, completely blocking him from the first dangerous area.
Where Qiu Xuan saw the "red hair" pass by, although countless vines were sucked dry and broken, the dried plants were also stuck to the corpse of a fly.
Perhaps, she can use this swamp to trap the "redhead".
Qiu Xuan put the Zimu knife back with her backhand, and made a look of being imprisoned by the vines and unable to get out of her left hand. For this reason, she was subjected to several scuffling plant volleys, and she endured it in a daze, silently watching the black shadow burst into front of her in a few breaths.
Her hanging right hand flipped over, and a Mori Ran Bone Whip instantly appeared in the air. Almost at the same time that countless flies engulfed Qiu Xuan into his body, the desperate lifeless aura that belonged to the undead soared, and the tip of the bone whip slammed into the center of the swarm of flies, and together with the vines wrapped around his body, he was sent into the dark fog.
This time, Qiu Xuan clearly heard the screams from under the buzzing of flies, and the voice was neither male nor female, and it was impossible to find the trace of the red hair at all.
There was no time for her to hesitate too long, and the vines that wrapped around her soon withered and shattered with the corpse of a small fly. Qiu Xuan quickly got out of the area, waiting for the "redhead" to catch up, and then repeated the trick to lead the vines to the fly pile a few times, so that the company almost destroyed all the strange plants under the moor, and the two of them advanced to the middle and second half of the moor.
I don't know if it's Qiu Xuan's illusion, she always feels that the overall body shape of the "red hair" seems to be a little smaller than before she caught up, as if there were not enough flies and shrunk.
Advancing here, the tentacle-like plants at the bottom of the area are not as dense as they were in the previous section.
So Qiu Xuan had to find a place to step on the vines that were disturbed underneath, but the good news was that the pressure on her body was also reduced a lot, at least she no longer had to be corroded by the poisonous slime stained by the dense vines all the time.
He had already signaled Qin Jiuyuan to go to the front to open the way after leaving the range of the moor, Qiu Xuan spent a considerable amount of time flying kites in the swamp with the "red hair", almost ruining all the swamp vines that grew there at the end of the house. She stepped on the relatively safe hard rock, and glanced back with her whip in hand.
It wasn't her delusion, but after coming out of the moor, the entire black shadow of the "red hair" shrank in a circle, and even the buzzing of the remaining flies sounded a little weaker.
Qiu Xuan took the opportunity to hit the flies a few more times, and turned around and hurried away.
It's like going around the map to fight the Four Seasons boss.
She sneered, and this "red hair" didn't lose anything on her body, it was purely time-consuming and laborious.
In this way, Qiu Xuan pulled the flies behind him all the way to the bottom of the Abyss of Nothingness and ran around, Qin Jiuyuan was still standing by and staring at her all the time to help, but later found that ordinary weapons could not play any role at all, and he could only add to the chaos when he stood next to him, and then gave up, pulling a stinky face and carrying a rice bag like a child, and waited back near the storm first, and those who didn't know thought he was abducting and selling children.
It took almost a day to slip away, and finally in a mutant lair somewhere near the storm, after the "red hair" sucked up several unknown mutant monsters that the original abyss inhabitants regarded as a fearful disaster, Qiu Xuan's wrist shook a whip and whipped towards the black shadow, and he found that his necromantic space had been completely repaired in this absorption.
She looked up at the charred corpse powder and dead flies scattered all over the place, symbolically erecting a barrier at the entrance of the cave, and then opened the necromantic space, releasing the roaring undead everywhere and injecting them into the surface of the bone whip.
In an instant, the dead air was furious, and the overwhelming dry bones of the dead seemed to turn into substance to surround the dense swarms of flies, if it weren't for the barrier that played a slight role in isolation, I am afraid that all the hungry people within a hundred meters would be able to clearly feel the coldness buried in the blood from the nest of the mutant species.
Hurry up and get it over, I'm really cracked.
The black-haired girl standing in the air of death in the sky held a miserable white bone whip in her hand, her expression was indifferent, and her lowered eyelids were not shocked, as if the scene in front of her could not splash any touch in her eyes. In fact, the stomach was empty and his eyes were dull, if it weren't for the "red hair" of the dog day to suck all the mutant corpses dry, Qiu Xuan would have been able to pounce on it and devour the beast alive.
- Anyone who wanders around this kind of ghost place all day hungry and sleepless will be mentally perverted.
Qiu Xuan lowered her eyelids and looked down at the flies that were struggling and tumbling in the countless piles of necromancers, probably only one step away from being completely perverted.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, the constant movement in the nest was quiet. The undead bodies who gradually lost their goals scattered in a hurry and returned to the space that had been lost and regained, and Qiu Xuan slowly squatted down, just in case he was still holding the bone whip in his hand.
The "man" lying on the ground did not move for a long time.
Qiu Xuan gently swept the human body with the handle of the whip, and in an instant, a large number of fly corpses poured down, making people's scalps numb. It's just that she has seen numbness during this period of time, and she casually flicked a few times on the ground, and then continued to pull the figure.
Gradually, she swept the dead flies that covered her entire body to the ground, and from within that, the familiar face of the redhead appeared.
There was no fluctuation in the heartbeat, and there seemed to be no signs of life anymore.
Qiu Xuan had almost expected this result, quietly squatted on the ground and stared at the red-haired face for a while, rubbed his almost unconscious wrist, and stood up to leave the nest.
The redhead opened his eyes in the next second.
“……”
The two of them lay down and stood and looked at each other in the air, no one spoke for a while, and after a while, the redhead still laughed softly, if you ignore her face, it is equivalent to the state of returning to the light on her deathbed, everything is no different from when they first met.
"Afu." She shouted.
"As I left Drow, I saw a man." The redhead lay on his back on the ground, lying among the dead flies and corpse debris everywhere, and spoke softly to Qiu Xuan. "You said Beelzebub before, haha...... But alas, you finally guessed wrong. ”
Qiu Xuan didn't interrupt and listened to her quietly.
"I can't tell you who he is, because we made an agreement." Redhead said. "Before going to Osier, he promised me that he could give me an identity so that I could live in this world from now on, never have to worry about starving to death, and be able to stay in Drow City forever, and never set foot in Oser again for the rest of my life. The premise is that I'm going to be the host of his final experiment. ”
"I promised."
Qiu Xuan was silent. It is not uncommon for redheads to be like this, on the contrary, a considerable number of desperate executioners will choose to stay in that plane after the trial is completed, and from then on, as time passes, they will gradually forget everything and become the original inhabitants of the world and survive.
Just like Cassandro on the Fool's Ship.
It is understandable that the redheads would choose this path, after all, in the eyes of those executioners who have been trapped here for a long time, not being able to find a way to complete the trial is equivalent to being forced to stay in this trial ground forever and never go back.
"I don't have anything to regret, everybody is going to die anyway, I've just unlocked a new way to die...... That's it, I don't have much more to say, the only thing I didn't expect was that the last person I saw was you. ”
The redhead said this, slowly closing his eyes as if corresponding to his own words.
Qiu Xuan squatted down again, and she slowly stretched out her hand to touch her hair towards her colleague who was dying safely in front of her. A second later, the redhead opened his eyes again.
Qiu Xuan: "......?" ”
"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you." The redhead didn't mean anything wrong at all, and glanced at her as he lay on the ground with his eyes open, "Before I left, the man said that if he saw you in Oter then, he would bring you a message. ”
Qiu Xuan looked at her expressionlessly, "This kind of thing should have been told to me at the first glance when you saw me." ”
The redhead shrugged, "Didn't you forget, just remembered." ”
Qiu Xuan: "If you suddenly die in the middle of what you say and when you say the most critical time, I will raise your ashes." ”
The redhead began to glare at her.
"Dog temper ......," the red-haired woman muttered something with a flaming head, and then said sharply, "The man let me tell you: the merchant of Venice is no different in nature, and there are countless moments when Antonio and Shylock are only a liter of wheat away. ”
"Okay, that's it, I don't know what he means, you can slowly come to your senses, I'm going to die, don't pay attention to me."
The redhead closed his eyes again, and with the last bit of strength he wrapped the cross scattered on the ground around his wrist, and his hands were smoothly crossed in front of his chest, and for a moment it looked like the posture of the Son of God in the Scriptures.
Qiu Xuan squatted next to her and stared at her for a long time, and after a while, she stretched out her hand as if to confirm whether this person would be dying again. Her fingertips stopped a few centimeters above the redhead's eyes, and suddenly a gust of wind blew through the nest, and the human body lying on the ground was shattered like a special effect, and turned into powder, which was swept up by the wind and swirled in the air, and fell on the rocks and was no longer to be found.
Qiu Xuan watched this scene steadily, time seemed to freeze from this, even the noise of flies flapping their wings disappeared, and for a while only the sound of the yin wind whistling by.
She looked at it for a moment, paused in the air, and then turned around and picked up something from a pile of ash.
It was a broken umbrella with only one handle left, and it was said that the umbrella was lifting it, because the fabric on the umbrella surface was damaged and removed, leaving only an uneven handle, and a few pieces were broken in the middle.
It was a bone umbrella that the redhead had bought from the black merchant Alec Hill at a large loss.
In addition, there is a crystal that is out of place in the current environment lying in a pile of debris, because it has lost its barrier and is constantly corroding the surrounding ashes, which is probably placed on the left and right of the originally intact human chest.
Qiu Xuan slowly put away these things little by little with an extremely rare patience when she was hungry.
She stood up from the ground with a flick of her wrist, lifted the barrier at the entrance to the cave, and walked out.
