Chapter 942: "Dinah"
Zasit and Jason didn't expect Dudian's vigilance to be so strong, so strong that they both felt a little redundant. Still, considering the one percent chance that Dinah was pretending to be stupid, they agreed with Dudian.
They only have one life, and they don't want to take any risks unless they have to.
In the next few days, Zasitt, Jason, and Dudian tried Dinah in various ways, such as the two of them went out hunting, leaving one to guard, and the caretaker was more casual, either turning his back to Dinah to relieve him, or being attracted by the small monster that suddenly jumped out, and inadvertently walked away.
Dinah seemed to be really stupid, just lying on the ground and giggling, without any action.
Dudian tried to deliberately dig a hole for Dinah during training to test her reaction, but he still responded with a smirk.
After a few days of trying, the three of them are finally convinced that Dinah is really crazy, or her acting skills are so advanced that they are impeccable, without any flaws!
"It's palm leaf juice, and applying it regularly can mask the smell on our body." When Zasit went out hunting, she brought back some thick and plump leaves, and gently kneaded them to produce dark green juice, "so as not to suddenly encounter her father and have no time to react." In the past few days, although we have been changing locations and masking the smell, there will still be some flaws, and a senior once warned me that as long as it appears, it will inevitably leave something, and when I meet someone with strong perception, it is a fatal flaw! β
"Palm leaf juice?" Jason saw the leaves in his hand and was surprised, "There are palm leaves here?" β
Seeing that both of them seemed to know this thing, Du Dian took it quietly and didn't say anything.
Zasit and Jason rubbed the juice of the leaves all over their bodies, and then applied the excess to Dinah, which naturally inevitably made physical contact in the process, and the two also kneaded each other a few handfuls very tacitly.
Dinah just giggled, didn't resist, and even made a soft humming sound when she groped the sensitive part of her chest, which was very seductive.
"It's a pity that the lower half of my body is gone." Jason was slightly regretful.
Zasit smiled lightly and didn't say anything.
Although they are not tempted by beauty, they are men after all.
Dudian glanced at Zahit, who had tried so hard to stop it, but now seemed to be enjoying it, like a man who has done something very bad and then does something petty and has no feeling, or even shame.
After being smeared with palm leaf juice, the three of them shifted their positions again, and after half a month of exploration, the three of them found that as long as they were on this parallel line close to the God of War Wall, they would not encounter too strong monsters, and if they went deeper, they would encounter more dominant-level monster lords, and even meet the abyss, as well as the family beast group of two or three heads of the abyss.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
The three of them changed their positions several times, staying in each place for no more than a day, using all kinds of leaf sap, as well as dirt, peeled monster hair, and other things to change the smell along the way. In addition, Jason also told Dudian and Zasit a secret recipe for eliminating odors, mixing the blood of the monster with ashes, as well as a bottle of special ash powder ingredients that he had brought with him, mixed with water and stirred into a slurry, which was applied all over the body to seal pores and minimize the spread of odors.
"Come, tell me, kiss Daddy."
"Dear, dear, daddy......" Dinah smirked intermittently.
Jason, who trained her, smiled slightly and said, "How do you kiss?" He handed her a blood-stained monster leg.
Dinah smirked and bit down violently, tearing off a large piece of flesh, and smirked, "Dear, dear father......"
"That's good." Jason touched her head in appreciation.
Dinah's face was as comfortable as a cat, and she was very fond of his petting.
Jason pointed to a nearby poisonous python that had returned from hunting, "It's Daddy." β
"Dad, ...... Dad?" Dinah's reaction was a little slow, she turned her head and saw the poisonous python on the ground that was limp and dead, her eyes slowly showed the previous smirk, her arm was propped up on the ground, she jumped over quickly, hugged the poisonous python, opened her mouth and bit it hard, tore off a piece of flesh, and smirked in a vague voice: "Kiss Dad, Dad......"
"That's good." Jason smiled more satisfied, and stepped forward to stroke her head.
Dinah leaned into his arms with a well-behaved face.
Zasit and Dudian sat on the stone next to them, holding grass roots, and seeing that Jason's training results were excellent, Zasit said to Dudian: "Can this method really work, what if his father has a strong toxin resistance?" β
"Then you can only consider yourself unlucky." Dudian shook his head, his sneak attack was to hide the venom in Dinah's two back molars, and when she bites, the venom will be injected into the bite object by squeezing, just like a poisonous monster.
"Can your poison really work?" Zasit was still a little unconvinced.
"If it can directly poison the abyss, it should be regarded as a more poisonous venom, and if you can find something more poisonous than this, you can also replace it." Dudian said that the poison on his body was a mixture of the venom that hunted the Extreme Cold Ice Dragon and other monsters, and it was also mixed with the poison of the poisonous arrow frog, which had made the master who invaded Sylvia incapacitated the ability to fight, and now under the mixture of a variety of venoms, the effect has skyrocketed, and it is not difficult to poison the abyss, but when it comes to encountering the abyss where the demon mark has extremely high resistance to toxins, and even immunity, the effect is greatly reduced.
However, this also has the advantage that people who are usually strong in resistance tend to be defensive type of Demon Marks, which means that they are slightly inferior in perception and attack.
They repeatedly shifted their positions for so many days, and they still did not catch up with Dinah's father, which shows that his father is not strong in perception.
"If it's a double demon mark, if it's me, I should choose a perception, an attack, or an attack, and a defense, and his father should be like this......" Dudi thought to himself, his eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Zasit beside him, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
Three days later.
The three of them were ready to set sail and make a detour back to the iron-making plain.
After two days of traveling, the three of them got closer and closer to the iron-smelting plain, and that night, the sky was cloudless and the stars were shining, and the three of them gathered at the edge of the woods to eat the low-level monsters they had hunted, and after filling their stomachs, they sat on the branches of the trees and looked at the moon.
The long night, without any entertainment, was in a daze and fantasized, which became their only way to pass the time.
"The moonlight is so beautiful, I don't know if I can fly it." Jason found the topic and said whimsically.
Zasit suddenly laughed, "How can you fly up, the thunderbird on the clouds alone is enough to bombard us into slag." β
"There's no Thunderbird outside of this country."
"But I've heard that the higher you fly, the colder it gets, and eventually it freezes into ice sculptures."
"That's right, it's just like how we are." Jason sighed, looked at the dark forest under the shadow of the trees, and said, "We humans are probably the only beings in this world who know how to look up and admire the starry sky, right?" β
Zasit shrugged noncommittally and said, "Of course, what do these low-level monsters know, I heard that in the last period, we humans were all over the world and were the masters of all living beings!" β
Jason nodded, with some yearning and regret in his eyes.
Du Dian listened to the small talk between the two, and under the moonlight, he also had a little desire to talk in his heart, but he held back, and after half a sound, he said slowly: "Maybe it's because you know how to look up and admire, so you want to conquer and destroy." β
Jason said curiously, "Conquest? You're saying someone wants to conquer the stars? β
"Everything you see, you want to keep for yourself, unless it's rubbish, don't you?" Dudian asked rhetorically.
"That's right." Jason nodded.
"Especially beautiful women." Zasit chuckled.
Jason laughed.
Du Dian got up and said, "I'll go and untie my hands, and by the way, go around and see if there are any abyss monsters approaching." β
"I'll accompany you?"
"No, you don't."
"Don't go too far, be careful alone."
"There are danger signals."
The two of them entrusted.
Du Dian jumped off the treetops, took Hailisha out of the forest, walked to the high mountain next to him, first soaked in urine, and then continued to move forward with Hailisha, and after walking for more than ten miles, he handed the roasted monster flesh and blood in the backpack to Hailisha, sliced it with a cutting knife, and let her eat it slowly with an elegant demeanor.
When she finished eating, I wiped her lips with a soft, washed handkerchief.
Just as he was about to return, he suddenly saw a figure of heat source approaching at the end of his vision.
"Humans?" Du Di'an's pupils shrank, and he saw that the outline of this heat source was an upright human appearance, although it was still a little different from the human body, but it was like an oval red shadow, but he had used the heat source to identify human beings countless times, and he had already been experienced.
The cold hairs on his body stood up slightly, and the first thing that came to mind was the "Dad" in Dinah's mouth!
Did he chase after him?
Soon, Dudian calmed down, his brow furrowed, and he felt that this man's reaction was a little strange, and it didn't seem to be Dinah's father. If her father had tracked her down, how could he walk slowly and swaggeringly? It should have been directly lurking in secret, or rushing directly at full speed.
But the figure of this heat source walked very slowly, as if it was just a normal stroll, sometimes stopping, as if discerning the direction.
Du Di'an's eyes flashed, he thought for a moment, and finally took Hai Lisa and quietly touched it, if it wasn't Dinah's father, then who would this person be? He was curious, could it be that there were other people in this lonely place? Or a local resident?
Ten minutes later, he and Helissa quietly approached together.
Looking quietly from a boulder crack, Dudian was suddenly shocked and his eyes widened, this person was actually Dinah!!
The exact same style of linen coat, the same color of pale blonde hair, and the same face, the only difference is that her body is intact, just like when Dudian first met Dinah!
Du Dian's heart twitched violently, even if he had seen countless vicious and bloody scenes, he had lost his mind for a moment at this moment, he felt that he had seen a ghost!
Isn't Dinah with Zasit and Jason? Didn't he cut off his waist? Haven't you been tortured by them to the point of madness?
"Who?!" "Dinah", who was standing in front of her, turned her head sharply and looked directly at the place where Dudian was hiding.
Du Di'an's face was ugly, his breath fluctuated in an instant just now, which exposed him, he didn't expect that he had experienced so many dangerous battles, and he would make such a low-level mistake, his mentality was still not calm enough after all, maybe it was because he felt weak and ashamed to torture Dinah in his heart, so he would have such a big reaction?
He couldn't tell, but he knew he had to stand up, and there was no point in hiding.
When he walked out from behind the boulder, Du Dian suddenly found that the "Dinah" in front of him was a little different from the Dina he had met before, their hairstyles were different, the previous Dinah wore a ponytail, very innocent and lively, but this "Dinah" had her hair scattered, scattered on her shoulders like waves, with a bit of princess-like dignity and elegance, and her expression was more indifferent.
"Humans?" When this "Dinah" saw Dudian, her eyes flashed with a different color, and then she noticed Helissa next to Dudian, and her eyes showed a look of surprise.
"I'm passing through here, my name is Doody, are you?" Du Dian asked tentatively, taking the initiative to show goodwill, but he was a little nervous in his heart.
"My name is Dinah." The girl said.
Du Di'an's pupils contracted slightly for a moment, but soon returned to normal, his expression did not change in the slightest, as if he had heard it for the first time, and said with a smile: "This is really a good name. β
The girl glanced at him, with a hint of inexplicability in her eyes, and said, "You seem to have heard of this name?" β
"When I was a child, I had a friend who also had this name, and it seems that this name is good, and there are a lot of people who call it." Dudian chuckled.
The girl stared at him, saw Du Di'an's natural smile, and finally slowly withdrew the sharpness in her eyes, and asked, "Why are you here?" Listen to your language, where are you from? Raise your hand and point at the Wall of War.
Du Dian nodded, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, "Not long ago, a war broke out there, I was separated from the large army and ended up here, and now I am estimated to be regarded as a deserter, and I dare not go back." β
The girl asked, "You're alone?" β
Du Dian immediately shook his head, his head shook like a rattle, looking very honest and restrained, "There are eight people who are separated with me, we are a squadron, they are resting on the other side, I came out to pee, patrolling the surrounding situation by the way, I didn't expect to meet you, are you a resident here?" At this, his eyes lit up and his face was full of excitement.
The girl shook her head, "Like you, I guess I came from the other side of the wall, but I've lived here for a long time." β
"Long life?" Du Dian's face was full of surprise, "Can you live here, isn't there a fire dragon alien race hovering here, haven't you met it?" β
"We have a way to dodge." The girl shook her head slightly, not wanting to say more about this, but said to Du Dian: "Are your teammates over there, why don't you take me to meet them, I have been here since I was a child, and I have never seen what people outside are like!" At this, his face was full of curiosity.
This demeanor made Du Dian think of the Dinah he had met before, with such an innocent smile and eyes, without the slightest defense.
"They're rude, if you don't mind, please come with me." Dudian said matter-of-factly, leaning sideways to make an invitation, waiting for the girl to approach slowly, and the sound of light footsteps stepped on the grass, step by step, as if stepping on his heart.
When the girl walked up to him, Dudian smiled and took a step forward.
The girl followed, looked around, and asked, "Have you and your teammates seen a girl who looks like me, her name is Dinah, and she is my sister?" β
Du Dian was surprised: "You sisters have the same name? β
The girl nodded, tilted her head and asked, "Have you seen it?" β
Dudian shook his head, "No, if I had seen her, I would definitely invite her to join us." β
"That's just as well."
Du Dian said curiously as he walked: "Why did you have the same name as your sister, did she get separated from you?" β
"Yes, she went out to play half a month ago, and then she never came back, and my father died in a hurry, and I looked for her everywhere during this time, and I also came out to look for her, and I found it until now, and it was late at night." The girl sighed, a little sad between her brows.
Du Dian looked at her appearance, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he still showed a regretful and sympathetic expression, and said: "She should be lost, or ......" When the word "yes" was spoken, the cutting war knife in his hand suddenly swung out without warning.
There was a thud, and sparks shot out.
The clashing was especially loud at night.
There was no one cut in two, and Dudian and Dinah distanced themselves, both of them looking surprised.
Dudian didn't expect that Dinah, who had been casually bowing her head to listen to him, would react at the moment of his attack and take action to resist. And the girl also didn't expect that Du Dian's attack would be so fierce, although she was on guard, but she still almost couldn't parry, at this moment the weapon in her hand has been broken, and her arm was cut out of a bloody wound, and she was injured.
"You're prepared?" Dudian's face was gloomy and troubled, and he only hoped that the previous sound would alarm Jason and Zahit, but it was too far away for them to hear.
"Where's my sister?" The girl looked at Dudian coldly.
"How do you know I'm related to her?" Dudian asked rhetorically.
"Although your performance is flawless, there is one thing you may not know, your rucksack has already exposed you!" The girl sneered.
"Rucksack?" Du Dian was stunned, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his mind, and he instantly came to his senses and said, "You mean that thing inside?" β
"That's right, it's the Aragami flesh and blood!" The girl said coldly: "Not long after you came to the plains, my father detected the reaction of the Aragami flesh and blood, but he was in the experiment at the time and couldn't get out, so I asked my sister to come and bring you back, but I didn't expect her to be planted in your hands!" β
Du Dian was slightly stunned, they were exposed as soon as they arrived in the plain? That Dinah already knew about them?
How can it be!
He couldn't accept it, and he didn't even want to believe it, but he felt that the "Dinah" in front of him had no reason to deceive him. He gradually calmed down in his heart, and slowly recalled the situation when he first met Dinah, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly found that many details of the other party's display had many flaws and doubts, not only those he had observed before.
For example, the surprise on Dinah's face when she saw them was obviously more deliberate, and now that she thinks about it, she feels that she is even more obvious.
In addition, Dinah showed no fear at all, and knew how to be cautious in any place where this monster lived, but Dinah approached them directly, without stealth, without disguise, and even when she saw them, she did not show obvious fear.
And because of Dinah's innocence and liveliness, they mistakenly thought that she was too innocent and didn't know that people were sinister, so they would believe them so easily. However, the other party's purpose was actually to take them back to her father.
As for the purpose, it is likely to be the Aragami flesh and blood in his bag.
They think others are naΓ―ve, and perhaps in Dinah's eyes, they are just as naΓ―ve.
However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out, and asked, "Why didn't your father let the two of you come over, with the strength of the two of you, you should be able to capture us directly, right?" β
The girl snorted coldly: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, my sister and I have very different living habits, she only comes out during the day, and she will shrink at home at night, and I only come out at night, and I don't go out during the day!" Moreover, my father has already found out that the three of you are just a lower abyss, and with my sister's strength, it is enough to subdue the three of you, easily! β
Du Dian's face changed slightly, and the two alternated day and night? What is the reason for this? If it's just a habit of life, he doesn't believe it, it's probably the demon marks of the two, or other reasons, like some monsters like to come out at night to hunt for food, and some like to go out to hunt during the day.
In addition, the information revealed in her words was very large, first of all, her father could actually sense that they were the lower abyss! You know, they are all hiding the heat source, and how far apart is his father? At least outside of their perceptual range! It is simply incredible that not only can you perceive them from such a distance, but you can also know their specific strength!
However, if his father has excellent perception ability, then why hasn't he caught up with them for so many days? Have you been unable to get out? He thought it shouldn't be possible, after all, it had been almost a month.
Could it be that her father detected their strength with the help of some kind of instrument?
Dudian noticed that she had said "the reaction of detecting Aragami flesh and blood", and that "detection" and "perception" sometimes meant the same thing, but to Dudian, they were two different things.
In his view, perception only represents physical ability, and detection includes not only instrument detection, but also body detection.
If it was an instrument, it would explain why her dad hadn't tracked it down.
However, this also extends another message, that is, her father has very sophisticated instruments and is extremely high-tech!
He was thinking about the stakes, when suddenly, his heart was shocked, his face became a little ugly, and he glanced in the direction where he came, where it was Jason and Zahit, and ...... "crazy" Dinah.
In the previous repeated interrogation, Jason naturally interrogated her if she approached with a purpose and whether it was accidental, but Dinah gave the answer "no"! From beginning to end, her answer remained unchanged, so much so that those who made them torture believe that she had fully confessed.
However, if you are an ordinary captive, there will always be some discrepancies in the answers before and after, and what you want to hide at the beginning will gradually loosen up under the coercion of confessions later.
But Dinah has never changed, which is a big suspicion, but they somehow mistakenly think that she is too innocent, that she did not lie from the beginning, and that she is an innocent and well-meaning girl.
Now it seems that her confession cannot be taken seriously at all, and it is estimated that it is a mixed truth.
Moreover, she shouldn't be crazy, if a person is already stupid, how can he give the same answer and reaction as before?
The more Dudian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he suddenly felt that he had made a big mistake, and the cause of this big mistake was that he underestimated Dinah.
Not only him, but Zasit and Jason were also deceived by Dinah.
They had a preconceived notion that Dinah might be an innocent girl who would drive her crazy because of the torture, but now it seems that Dinah approached them with the intention of taking them back to her father. And the reason why she didn't take a strong direct attack was very simple, if it was him, when he was confident that he could overwhelm the three of them, he would also have the courage to choose to lure them over with softer means, which would save more effort.
If they had rejected Dinah at the time, they might have faced her thunderous attack.
Even, if he hadn't taken the initiative at that time, maybe it would have been Dinah who had made the first attack!
Just like now.
When he just swung the knife, the girl had already taken precautions and could parry in time. And she had already seen his identity, and he suspected that she probably took into account that he had defeated her sister, so she didn't attack from the front at the beginning, but also had the same plan as him, and attacked at close range!
Otherwise, how could she have acted defenseless when she came over just now?
Didn't her performance make him let his guard down?
There are countless cases of failure or death due to contempt, and Dudian also knows that no one should be taken lightly, and it takes all his strength to fight the lion and the rabbit, but he still makes this mistake, and it is fatal.
Knowingly committing a crime is something that no one can avoid, and it is perhaps something that cannot be changed by the most profound philosophies.
It's a good thing that he met the girl, otherwise they would have taken Dinah, who was pretending to be stupid, to sneak up on her father, and it would have been a sheep's mouth!
He was a little happy in his heart, and even a little grateful to the girl in front of him.
"Your sister's perception skills must be pretty good, right?" Dudian asked suddenly.
The girl said indifferently: "It seems that you have already understood?" β
Du Dian nodded slightly, and sighed secretly in his heart, it was too dangerous! At this moment, the last doubt in his mind was answered, and they later tested Dinah if she was crazy and stupid, and she may have heard it a long time ago. Including them pretending to leave, but hiding in the shadows to observe, perhaps also in her perception.
Dinah was smirking at them all the time, perhaps the smirk on her face was a mockery of them.
