Chapter 112: Strange Beasts
Dai Qing poked Ye Mu's back and said softly, "Ye Mu." ”
"What's wrong?" Ye Mu turned his head.
"We—" The girl shook her head and said, "It's okay..."
She wanted to ask Ye Mu if everyone could still get out of the snow and if they could survive.
But she didn't speak, she knew the answer, it was a question that was taboo for everyone.
Can't say.
"What's that?" Ye Mu suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Qin Aowu took a step forward and looked in the direction Ye Mu was pointing.
I saw a huge monster with a human head, an elephant body, two horns on its head, and long eyes on its belly, approaching everyone from a distance.
The monster's whole body was red, and there was purple light under its feet, and when it landed on all fours, the purple halo rippled like ripples, and the ice and snow melted everywhere it passed, and the dead trees were full of green. The musty smell of dead grass and rotten leaves soaked in snow water is emanating from the surroundings, and the fragrance of flowers and plants and the tide of the earth exudes a vibrant smell.
Everywhere they passed, the ugly monsters with human bodies turned into black liquids and flowed into the land, and the terrifying insects all over the mountains fell from the sky without warning, and large swaths of insect corpses covered the ground, becoming nourishment for new plants and trees.
The human-headed monster walks leisurely through the forest, like Rota, the goddess of spring in ancient Greek mythology, making plants flourish and green branches sprout.
"We... There is salvation! Qin Aowu's face showed a look of ecstasy.
"This is a divine beast! It's definitely a mythical beast! Ye Mu was excited, and there was nothing more joyful than seeing hope in despair.
Dai Qing suddenly spoke: "Shall we take a detour, or say hello to it?" ”
"Uh..." Ye Mu was stunned, glanced at the monster in front of him, and then said: "Even if it is a divine beast, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not eat people... To be on the safe side, let's go around it, you see where it has melted away, we just have to go around it, and we can find a place to spend the night. ”
Qin Aowu nodded and said, "I think it's okay." ”
"It's coming, let's hurry up." Liu You'er reminded.
The group followed the plan and began to move to the left, trying to stagger with the monster.
After walking for a while, Dai Qing suddenly spoke: "How do I feel, it's coming towards us?" ”
"What?!" Ye Mu was shocked, and looked at the monster not far away, and saw that the monster really walked slowly towards this side.
"Still hiding?" Qin Aowu asked.
"People are coming at us, what are they hiding?" Ye Mu smiled bitterly, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
Everyone was like frightened birds, waiting solemnly, for fear that this monster would suddenly attack them.
Pressing the tea, the monster had already walked in front of the four of them.
"Little ones, are you lost?"
The monster opened its mouth, and it actually spat out human words, and the voice was sonorous and powerful, and the words were round, like a flood bell.
Everyone's faces showed a look of horror, Ye Mu scratched his head, and quietly protected the four of them behind him, Qin Aowu stepped forward with a spear in his hand, and stood proudly beside Ye Mu.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Ye Mu raised his head and asked with a smile.
"Me?" The monster was stunned, then smiled, "You can call me Chu." ”
"You are the only life I have met in this world who can communicate well, can you tell us where we are now?" Ye Mu lowered his head and asked humbly.
"You subhumans, every time you see me, you will ask this, this is the abyss forest, you continue to move forward, you can get out." Chu shook his head slightly: "There is the Black Sea ahead, you remember, don't get on the human ship." ”
"A human ship? What is it..."Ye Mu was stunned, raised his head and was about to ask, but the monster 'Chu' in front of him had disappeared.
Ye Mu looked back at everyone in amazement, and wondered, "Where did it go?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Dai Qing said with a suspicious face: "I didn't see it clearly, and suddenly it disappeared." ”
Liu You'er also shook her head and said, "I didn't see it clearly. ”
Looking around, the snow and ice had melted, the strange black monsters were all gone, and the forest floor was covered with the corpses of insects.
'Human? Subhumans? ’
Ye Mu pondered for a moment, thoughtful: In this way, my previous conjecture is not wrong, in this world, we are called 'sub-human', and that perverted researcher should be the so-called 'human', and it seems that the relationship between 'sub-human' and human beings is not harmonious.
"Let's rest first." Ye Mu ripped off the swimming goggles on his head, tore off the bandages on his face, and took a deep breath: "It seems that we will be able to walk out in a short time." ”
"Great!" Dai Qing cheered, and also learned that Ye Mu wanted to take off the helmet, but the hat and her clothes had been tightly sewn together, and no matter how much she pulled, she couldn't take off the hat... But the dead insect corpses on her body fell down one after another after she tossed it like this.
"Silly girl... I'll help you. Ye Mu chuckled, took out his long sword and picked the thread on the girl's helmet, and then pulled it hard, and took off the helmet.
"Whew! It's alive! Dai Qing's little face flushed, she squinted her eyes and took a deep breath, her face full of joy.
The rest of the people also removed their swimming goggles and scarves wrapped around their heads, and their faces were full of joy.
Ye Mu waved his fist and said loudly: "Set up camp!" ”
"I'm a little hungry..."Dai Qing rubbed her little stomach and said to Ye Mu, "I'll go get something to eat." ”
"This snow has just melted, where did you get to eat?" The corners of Ye Mu's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly.
"Ahh Isn't that the same fruit on that tree that we used to eat?"
Ye Mu looked in the direction that Dai Qing was pointing, and the big tree not far away was really full of green fruits, Ye Mu was surprised: "It's amazing, it was snowy just now, and now even the fruit has grown." ”
The river thawed, and cute cat ears emerged from the river, and they jumped happily on the grass, as if they were celebrating the disaster.
The monkeys in the trees seemed to anticipate the danger, they left the place long before the heavy snow came, and when the snow and insect plague passed, these clever monkeys migrated back again, and they could be seen running around along the way.
After a few months, everyone returned to the life of sleeping and wandering around.
They finally knew why the area was relatively safe, because there were so few animals that could survive in this forested area, and the clever and fearsome predators would stay away from it.
The natives of this forest, the cat's ears and the monkeys, have the ability to predict disasters in advance and avoid them.
Without two brushes, how can they survive and thrive in this cruel abyssal jungle?
There has never been a truly safe place in this forest.
(Anyway...) How do cat ears reproduce?
For more information, please refer to Baby Ocean... You can think of it as ego mitosis. )
"Meow, you can live with your friends." Dai Qing put the cat ears out of the backpack, rubbed the little guy's fluffy and warm body, and said reluctantly.
"Meow~Meow?" The cat's ears rubbed the girl's face.
Ye Mu asked softly, "Why don't you bring it with you?" ”
"It's too dangerous to be with us, and it's safest for Meow to stay here." Dai Qing hugged the cat's ears affectionately: "You see, Meow Meow could have hid in the river with her friends before the heavy snow came, but because she stayed with us, she almost got trapped in the snow with us." ”
"Meow~ (Emoji)"
Cat ears have no facial features, I can't see its expression, but I can distinguish emotions from its cry, this little guy is also very sad now, and seems to be very reluctant to replace the sun.
"Meow meow, you have to live well."
"Meow... (Kaomoji)"
Dai Qing patted the little head of the cat's ears and said dotingly: "Okay, let's go play with my companions." ”
Liu Youer and Liu Wen also reluctantly hugged the cat's ears, and everyone was reluctant to give up this soft and cute little guy.
"Meow~"
The cat's ears rubbed gently on everyone's face, and slowly jumped towards their companions, like a child who had left his parents, and every time he jumped twice, he would stop in place and wait for a while, and reluctantly meow at the five people.
"Meow meow, we'll miss you." Dai Qing wiped her red eyes and said goodbye to the cat's ears reluctantly.
Meow Meow finally came together with his partners, and he relived the carefree and happy life he had at the beginning, soaking in water, basking in the sun, and rubbing around with his friends, which is the life that a cat ear should have.
