Chapter 682: The Battlefield
"Well, there's a scent. Xiang dragged the small cloth bag in her hand and sniffed it gently, "It's food." Then add.
"You can't eat that. Tian Xian rescued the cloth bag from Xiang's hand and padded it twice, very lightly.
The cloth bag was placed on the table, and it was slowly spread out, and when the last corner was completely spread, everyone showed doubts.
There was nothing in the cloth bag, only a pit.
"It's really delicious. Tianxian picked up the kernel and took a closer look, but he couldn't see any doorway, and when he just wanted to lick and taste the taste, a hand reached out from the side and quickly snatched the kernel.
"This thing can't get wet, and it can't saliva. Luna tossed the pit in her hand twice, looking a little displeased.
"Sister Luna, do you know what this is?"
Luna snorted, "That woman left this thing because I was there, and that's news that elves only understand." ”
As she spoke, Luna grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground and slowly sprinkled it evenly on the spread piece of cloth that wrapped the kernel, then placed the kernel in the center and took a leaf in her hand.
In everyone's astonished gaze, Luna sang a syllable that no one understood, and the droplets of the leaves trickled down her fingers, gradually sliding down, emerald-green with each droplet.
Eventually, when the droplets fell off Luna's fingers, they looked like a ball of light, and the light disappeared into the core of the fruit in an instant.
Everyone was slightly stunned, because nothing happened after the light disappeared, and at this moment, the core of the fruit cracked with a "snap".
Tiny shoots that shimmer green grow out of the kernels and rapidly expand in all directions.
In just three or two minutes, the shoots had grown into some kind of plant that was only a finger's high. And occupies the entire area of the cloth.
The growth of these plants began rapidly and stopped abruptly, and when the last plant grew at the edge of the cloth, all the plants stopped growing, and the verdant glow faded rapidly.
With a crackling sound, the plants solidify quickly. It became something green and emerald.
"Here's the map. Luna said.
"Map!" Tian Xian almost stuck his face to the solidified plants, Norma's legacy of knowledge was vast, but there was no such magical method as the elves.
"What map?" Tian Xian gently touched the plants, they were already as hard as stone.
"That's going to ...... Open it and take a look!" Luna shook the edge of the cloth to shake off all the dirt on it, and when the cloth was laid out on the table again, everyone's mouths opened in surprise.
The plants that grew from the pit had woven a perfect map on the cloth, like a map drawn with fine colored lines, and the various colors and patterns were clearly distributed on the cloth. You can see rivers, mountain slopes, cloud trees and dense forests, everything is clearly visible, and it is three-dimensional, like a fine sand table.
"The destination is here. Luna gestured to a place on the map.
Everyone was surprised to hear the gaze move quickly towards the place where Luna was pointing, a waterfall at the source of a river, next to a high mountain, and a cross was drawn in red veins of plants next to the waterfall.
"Where is this?" asked Tian Xian excitedly.
"In a place in our south. ”
"South, isn't that a deviation from the direction we went to the elven territory?"
Luna nodded. A deep frown, "Indeed." I don't know why the woman left this map for us. ”
Tu Ge looked at the map repeatedly and said in a low voice, "When the high priest left, he said that this was a gift from the Elven King. ”
Luna smiled, "We'd better not believe that woman's words." ”
"But what is her purpose?" asked Tian Xian.
No one can answer this question.
"I'd like to go and see it!" Tian Xian suggested.
"It's too far off our course of action, and it's going to take too much time!" Luna objected, and turned her gaze straight to the snow.
Xue said softly, "Where is the black?" Where am I going?"
Luna knew that Snow would say that, and immediately turned her attention to the four girls.
The fourth girl looked apologetic, "If Brother Tian wants to go, it naturally makes sense, and." The concubine also wondered why the high priest had left this map. ”
The corners of Luna's eyes twitched, and she looked at Guli sternly.
Gu Li smiled weakly, "That...... Why don't we go and see?"
Annoyed, Luna exclaimed, "Do you want to change course just because of this unexplained map, we are now on the verge of going deep into the interior of the Eastern Kingdoms, and every step is dangerous!"
"Luna, calm down. Hank said helplessly.
"I'm calm!" Luna replied loudly.
"Then tell me, why did the elven high priest leave this map?"
"How do I know!?"
"So we all want to know. ”
"This may be a trap!" Luna glared, "we can't trust outsiders here! Not even elves can trust them! Every elf hates humans! There's no reason for her to give us a good hint! This may not be the Elven King's thing at all!"
"Luna......
"That's enough, why do you believe her blindly, she's an elf you've never met!'s enemy!" Luna shouted, "Are you all deluded!?"
Faced with Luna's anger, everyone falls silent.
"I think...... She's a good person. ”
Luna's gaze instantly landed on Tianxian's face, "You...... Say what!?"
"I said I thought she was like a good person. Tian Xian carefully looked at the place where the cross was drawn on the map, "because I think she is like a mother." ”
Anger oozes from the corners of Luna's eyes, "Little ghost!
Tianxian looked up at Luna, "I don't understand...... Sister Luna, I was born when my mother died. ”
Luna's eyes flashed, her lips pursed, and she didn't speak.
Tian Xian continued: "So I said...... I feel like I don't have a mother though. But I've seen a lot, and I think she likes me, and I've always been a likable kid. ”
Smiling, Tian Xian straightened up, "So I want to go to that place, maybe there are some gifts waiting for us." ”
Luna frowned and said, "You'll regret it." Imp!"
"That's for later!" Tian Xian grinned, "so I have to bother Sister Luna to be my guide, and it shouldn't be the territory of the cavemen." ”
"You still want me to be your guide!?" Luna was furious.
"Of course, without us being loved by everyone, flowers blooming, and we are in the middle of our youth and beautiful Sister Luna, we are simply unable to move an inch in the forest, and you can't bear to watch us lost little sheep in the forest......"
Luna kicked the sky away, "Pack your things!
Obviously, except that Luna vehemently opposed. Everyone wanted to go south to see what the high priest had marked on the map, and although he had only seen two of them and had not spoken anything to most of them, the high priest had managed to make a very good impression on everyone.
Of course, she is Luna's mother.
Luna, as a daughter, now leads the way in front with an unhappy face, not saying a word from beginning to end.
Soon Luna led everyone out of the caveman's territory, and the caveman's "weakness" said goodbye to Tianxian very regretfully, and expressed enough regret that he did not see Tianxian die.
"South. It is the territory of the Aqua Tribe. ”
In the forest, a lot of streams began to appear, and in some places people had to wade through the water. Luna began to remind in a loud voice, "The elves don't have full dominion here, and many times the water tribes here are reluctant to support the elves' practices, so we have to be extra careful, and I haven't confirmed that it's safe water, don't drink it." ”
As she spoke, Luna glanced at Mossan, who was filling the water bag. "You drink that water, and we'll have to bury you in a dry piece of ground. ”
Frightened, Mosan quickly threw away the water bag and immediately went to Abel to bake his hands.
There were more and more streams, and gradually they converged with the rivers and walked south for four days. The crowd was almost in the water, and the forest seemed to have a flood, and there was an ocean everywhere.
The air warmed up and started to rain, and it felt like you were in the rainforest, and the clouds in the sky drifted by, and by the way, a torrential rain fell and flew away before you could run under the trees to take shelter.
"It's bad weather......
Rarely, the snow began to sigh, she didn't like the weather at all.
Although Tian Xian didn't like it either, he realized that he had only walked for three or five days from the territory of the cavemen to the south, and it was in the forest, and it was definitely not too far, and the climate could not have changed so much.
Approaching Luna, Tian Xian flattered, "Here, this used to be like this?"
Luna's expression was serious, but a little less angry, "No, at least not when I came, there wasn't that much water, and it wasn't as muddy as it is now. ”
Luna scooped up a little water in her hand and frowned at the brown water, "This water smells rancid, full of hatred and curses, and I don't know what's going on in the territory of the Water Tribe." ”
"It does smell rancid. Tian Xian nodded, "It's a corpse, and it's ...... We are getting closer to the source. ”
Luna was slightly surprised, "Can you tell that?"
"Professional habits. Tian Xian said something that puzzled Luna, turned his head to look ahead, and said, "I think it may have something to do with the purpose of the high priest calling us here, it's not far away, it's just ahead." ”
When everyone walked for another half day, and when it was dusk, everyone clearly smelled the rancid stench and the smell of blood in the water. The water beneath his feet also turned crimson.
Turning around a river bend between a dense forest and a hillside, a Shura field unfolded in front of everyone.
A vast river beach on the edge of this river bay, the corpses were spread from the river to the forest on the opposite side of the river beach, and they stretched along the river beach, and I don't know how many, but if you look at it, there are at least thousands.
Tian Xian looked at the snow, and the snow looked as usual, "Death, I have seen a lot, many times." ”
Everyone walked cautiously onto the river beach.
This is clearly a battlefield, and there is a fierce battle between the two forces.
There are also two kinds of corpses, one is similar to the human body, but the skin is soft and smooth like a frog, the head is flat, the limbs also have obvious signs of finning, there are webbing between the fingers, and the weapon is mostly a sharp spear.
The other is small, less than the waist of an adult human, and this corpse is more like a short crocodile, with rough skin and a long tail, but with a human-like head and face, most of them carry blowguns on their backs and hold short blades in their hands.
"It is the fisherman who wields the spear, and the crocodile who wields the short knife. Luna walked at the front, her voice full of doubt, "The territory of the two clans is relatively close, but they have always been on good terms and often hunt together, how can they fight here?"
It can be seen that the battle is very fierce, and there is no trace of that side retreating, but fighting until the whole army of one side is annihilated, many corpses are twisted and entangled, and they are still dumbfounded and open their mouths after death, looking terrifying.
Tu Ge picked up the corpse of a tidal crocodile, and a choking fishy smell suddenly hit his face, which made him sneeze immediately, "It's been two days since I died." ”
Tian Xian looked at the tragic scene of the battlefield, and his mood was very heavy, "Sister Luna, I heard you say that large-scale battles between tribes rarely occur in the Eastern Kingdom, and the common enemy of all people is the forest, and fighting and surviving with the forest here is the most important thing, but why do they ......?"
"I don't know......," Luna shook her head, looking confused, "This is the boundary of the Fisherman's territory, and it seems that the Tide Crocodile Clan has attacked. ”
The river beach is the territory of the fisherman, Tian Xian glanced at the opposite side of the big river in front of him, there is no trace of the retreat of the tide crocodile tribe there, that is to say, the tide crocodile tribe has either entered the territory of the fisherman, or the whole army has been wiped out, and from the fact that most of the corpses of the tide crocodile tribe are distributed by the river, they were all wiped out by the fisherman tribe here.
"Stay away from the river!" shouted Tian Xian.
Almost everyone had already gone ashore, and when they heard Tianxian's shouting, they immediately sped up.
"Whoa!!"
At this moment, a wave sound exploded in the river, and several figures rushed out.
"Fisherman!" Luna exclaimed.
Tianxian was also taken aback, it was just a warning, but it was still too late!
However, when Tian Xian saw the people who were rushing towards those figures, a stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
Perhaps it was too big, or perhaps it was the most threatening in the eyes of the fishermen, and Tu Ge became the primary target of those fishermen.
When the first spear stabbed Tu Ge, the sharp spear failed to pierce Tu Ge's white hair, and the fisherman was stunned for a moment, when Tu Ge's giant palm suddenly struck and knocked him away.
With a wild roar, Tu Ge swooped down on a few fishermen who fell in mid-air.
At the same time, Xiang had already pulled out the flash wave knife.
The glittering sword light flickered like exploding silver light, and the river fluctuated like a boil, throbbing and crackling and forming ice.
Everyone quickly retreated to the river beach, and after Xiang broke off alone, the river surface by the river beach was frozen.
In mid-air, Tu Ge shot down all five fishermen like a falcon that had rushed into the flock, and dropped two of them back to the ground.
In a loud bang, at the edge of the huge ice in the river, dozens of fishermen came out of the water, staring at Tian Xian and the others with dark green eyes. (To be continued.) )
