Chapter 30: The Human Heart
"Outflanking? Pack... What a copy! When should you... When these meat bugs are... Is it a brute? The black bull standing beside Huya stammered when he heard this;
"What is a brute?" , I asked the black bull suspiciously;
"The barbarian spirit is the means of the sorcerers of the demon clan, and it is said that their great witch can control the spiritual intelligence of sentient beings, and the sentient beings who are manipulated are the barbarian spirits", the tiger girl saw that I was dazed, and replied coldly;
"Aren't those evil crows of the black-haired cubs?";
Huya's description suddenly reminded me of the black beasts raised by Yuqiu, if compared to these big white meat insects, the evil spirit crow is even more terrifying;
She didn't respond to my exclamations, and her eyes looked at me indifferently, as if to say to me, "Fool, you just knew? ”;
"Could these white-fleshed insects also be driven by people like the evil spirit crows?" , I asked;
The black bull shook his head and said, "Our witch... The sorcerer only drives the have... A creature with feet, this is a brute spirit, a creature without feet, you can't see the sky when you look up... Heaven does not do it";
"I bet this meat worm's feet are longer than your life, believe it or not?" , The bald man stood behind me and said something to the black bull coldly, and immediately changed back to the black bull's red eyes, if it weren't for the current crisis, Lao Tzu really wanted the two of them to strangle one here!
"What can you do?" Tiger Ya asked me, which was one of the few times she didn't ask me about my name Shanna;
But it's okay, Shanna's long Shanna's cliché is also annoying to listen to.
"I don't even know the details of that white flesh worm, if it really is something that has become a rest, it would be better to say, it's a big deal, let's get together some children, boys and girls to sacrifice it, but now...... Can any of you explain what the hell is that? I said helplessly;
"Boys and girls?" , the crowd cast expressions of hope, thinking that this was something profound;
"Find a clean boy and a girl and sacrifice it, you call it a sacrifice, and we call it a virgin!" As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately lowered their heads, obviously this kind of primitive sacrifice could not even fool these natives;
Or, even if they believe in these old-fashioned superstitions, they can't find a clean boy right now, at least not me! And the bald man ...... Hehe, maybe it's possible for a black bull, but who can tie up such a black tower?
Listening to the increasingly dense whispering sounds around us, we just got stuck at such a time!
"Don't worry what, let's run up the mountain, it's a big deal to cross this low hill and go to the woodland on the other side of the mountain, can we still be trapped here?" Dandan said with his round head shaking and his eyes wide, his face full of the same brainlessness as the black bull.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Ya spoke: "I think he is right, listen to the voice... I don't know how many meat worms there are, it's too dangerous to fight hard, so we might as well go over the mountain and ......";
It's rare for Huya to say so much, especially when she follows the meaning of the ball... This is less common;
"Wait! I don't think you're right! I looked at Dan Dan and Hu Ya's expressions, and suddenly interrupted Hu Ya's words, and everyone looked at me in unison;
"You ponder the morning, and when the hook dies, there is almost no time to react, and when you say death, you will die with a pop! Is that right? ”;
When everyone saw that I had not finished my sentence, they did not interject;
"If you think about it a few days ago, when I was tricked by the bald man, those white-fleshed insects wanted to kill us like this, but it was just a matter of a moment, right?";
The people still did not speak;
"I must remind you again, remember the thunderous clatter of the tree when the hook died? Lao Tzu tells you that the loud noise on this island was originally only seen at night! It's been eight years, and this is the first time there has been a noise during the day! ”;
"Shanna, what do you want to say?" , the bald man uncharacteristically called Shanna, which made me a little uncomfortable, this title should have come from the mouth of the tiger girl;
"I mean, if these meat worms really want to kill us, they just need to hide in the low bushes in the forest just now, and we will be paralyzed when we pass by with a bite, so why bother with it now?";
When I saw that the tiger girl opened her mouth to speak, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't forget, in the forest of stone statues, they have countless opportunities to kill us, but apart from the hook, which of us is not alive?" Even now, listen! They're still just out of the air! It's just a dozen steps away from us, but do you see a big meat worm? ”;
"So, they don't want our lives, they're bluffing!";
"You're not right, if it's a bluff, then why did the hook die?" , Huya suddenly interjected and said;
"Hooks... Do you think she's any different from any of us? ”;
"She's the only descendant of the Hunters!" , the lame man filled in coldly;
"Anything else?";
"She's the only one who's ever made love to you these days," Huya said coldly, making me a little embarrassed;
"Anything else?";
"She's the virgin you say," Dandan said as she looked at me with wide eyes;
"yes, I think that's it! I tell you don't be afraid, in my opinion, we all underestimate these insects, and their intelligence is not necessarily lower than ours! ”;
"What do they want virgins for? Pull it back to the waterhole to make a clean seed? The bald man whispered behind me close to his ear, and his tone seemed to say that I was covered with clouds and mountains;
"No, it's supposed to be a sacrifice! Like us, sacrifice virgins and boys! As I spoke, I looked at everyone's faces with my eyes;
Each of them looked stunned: surprised, curious, except for two, whose faces were unmistakable and unusual;
"Huya, Dandan, what do you think?" , I asked the two coldly;
After a moment, Dandan took a step back and said, "I... I don't know", and the tiger girl beside him had no intention of answering at all, and didn't even look at me;
"If I'm right, the reason why the hook's corpse moves is where the meat worms are going to go, right?" My face stiffened, and the mystery seemed to be getting closer and closer to me, but I couldn't touch anything;
Tiger Ya and Dan Dan were silent;
"If I'm right, these white-fleshed worms don't want to kill us at all, but drive us to the same place, either as sacrifices or as slaughters, right?" , my face looked at Huya even more coldly;
Still silent......
"If Lao Tzu is right, the place of sacrifice or slaughter is especially the other side of the mountain that you two are talking about, right? Answer me! I used all the strength in my lungs to roar at the tiger girl and the ball!
