Chapter 3: Forests
The dark jungle behind Shimizu City.
The forest after the Awakening Stone fell to the earth became more and more lush and lush, with a large number of trees standing on the ground and shrubs endlessly.
Rustle~~Rustle~~
The sound of grass trembling rang out from among the bushes, and suddenly, a brown creature poked its head out, its dark red pupils looking around vigilantly.
The silent forest, dim, quiet, dark red-eyed creatures looked around, slightly relaxed, and cautiously walked out of the bushes.
Suddenly...
Crunch.
Steady footsteps sounded.
The body of the creature with dark red eyes suddenly stiffened at that moment, like a sheep encountering a pack of wolves, its pupils trembled violently, and it slowly turned around, looking behind him, at that moment in the dark forest, a sturdy figure slowly walked out, looking at him from afar, grinning...
"And voila! What did I find? Huh..."
The ominous words sounded quietly, and at that moment, a strong malice rushed to the face, and the pupils of the creature with dark red eyes shrank!
————————
Matsuyama, located on the left side of the edge of Shimizu City, is a vast group of ancient mountain ranges, which are rarely visited by people, and are filled with a wilderness-like atmosphere from the outside.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Suddenly, two figures galloped from under the foot of Matsuyama Mountain, the two of them were extremely fast, leaping one step at a time, pulling out a heavy afterimage, and in a moment they reached the top of Matsuyama Mountain, and their speed did not decrease, walking towards the more wild mountain range behind the peak.
"I said, what are you doing here?"
Xue Yao looked at Yu An with some dissatisfaction, she had already died once before, and now she was finally curled up in Ji Yao's body to survive, it was supposed to rest more, why did she have to come here?
"You said that you were from a parallel world, and a storm swept you to this place, so I was a little curious, and now I want to go over and take a look." Yu An, who was standing next to Xueyao, replied.
"If I could really find something strange with this, I'd still use you to urge me, I'd already rummaged it there many times."
Xue Yao pursed his lips and said, but between the two of them, they kept accelerating, and they surpassed Songshan along the way, walking towards the depths of the mountain range.
Half an hour later, Xue Yao finally took Yu An to the place where she had just come to this world, but everything was just as Xue Yao said, except for some dry blood marks, there was nothing unusual at the scene.
Yu An's mental power was released, covering the surrounding search, and there was no gain, and he couldn't help but feel funny, when he came just now, he was a little fantastical, and he originally thought that he could find a passage to another world or something, which was really ridiculous.
"Anyway, believe it now, this is where I first fell." Xue Yao stood under a big tree and spread her hands, "Of course, if you don't believe me, just use your psychic powers to see if I'm lying.... Well!? ”
Xue Yao's words stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, and the whole person froze in place, and the tip of his small nose quietly shook a few times.
Sniff Sniff ~~sniff ~~
As if she felt a certain breath, the tip of her nose shook several times in a row, and after a while, her eyes widened!
"This is....!"
Sou!
She turned around suddenly, pulled out an afterimage from her body, and galloped into the distance!
Yu An, who was standing behind Xue Yao, was a little surprised, looking at Xue Yao who was leaving quickly, what did this woman find?
I didn't think that the other party wanted to run away, Xueyao didn't look like a fool, Yu An didn't reveal her behavior from beginning to end, she didn't have a reason to stimulate him.
"Anything?" Yu An whispered.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
The sound of hurried footsteps kept ringing, messy and messy, constantly echoing in the forest, at a glance, a creature with brown body and dark red eyes kept moving its legs, desperately accelerating and running, its speed became faster and faster, but the horror in its eyes did not diminish at all.
Escape! Escape! Escape!
The creature with dark red eyes was not as intelligent as humans, but it could also instinctively sense the danger of existence, and the chill brought by the figure that came out of the forest before grinning and laughing made it tremble with fear!
Escape! You have to speed up and escape! It remembered that there was a big forest of bushes in front of it, and if it fled into it, it would have to flee into it....
Swish!
In the void, a white palm mixed with a large amount of red light suddenly galloped in, like an eagle swooping down on the earth to hunt down its prey, and grabbed the entire creature with dark red eyes directly into his hand!
"Lucky enough to catch a feather essence!" The tip of Xueyao's nose trembled, inexplicably a little like a puppy, but she herself ignored this, her crimson eyes looked at the creature in her hand, the whole body was round, about the size of a basketball, a large amount of hair was densely covered all over the body, and her appearance was similar to the chestnut ball in a certain card game that was popular a few years ago, and it didn't look like a creature in the real world at a glance.
Being able to rely on the tip of his nose to capture the breath, he grabbed the blood Yao with dark red eyes and pupil hairballs, and naturally knew what was in his hand, under the fall of the Awakening Stone, demons were rampant, this so-called demon did not only refer to the animals that dissolved into the Awakening Stone, even if it was a small grass, tree, flower, if after the fall of the Awakening Stone meteor shower, the energy contained in the land was not absorbed by the awakened people who were found later, and there was a certain chance of breeding some mysterious creatures in that land.
In ancient times, it was said that the essence of heaven and earth could become essence, so for those creatures who had their own spiritual intelligence, they all called it essence! As for the one in her hand, it should be some kind of feather essence.
What is the essence, Xue Yao doesn't care, the key is that the spirit creatures born from absorbing the residual power of the Awakening Stone also have the power of the Awakening Stone!
Although the energy contained is a little small, at this moment, Xueyao is already weak to the point of having something to eat.
picked up a treasure for no reason, and Xueyao was in a good mood.
But soon Xueyao's smile disappeared.
A steady footstep came from afar, with a sense of oppression unique to the awakened, getting closer and closer from afar.
