Chapter 654: Red Moon Demon [Three Watches]
After the couple left, I told Xiao Zhan what had happened.
When Xiao Zhan heard that the child fell out of the canopy, he was not too surprised, which made me realize a very serious problem, that is, the people of the Jiuli tribe, so there is no real concept of having a child at all, so they don't care about how the child came to be, they only pay attention to the result, in short, no matter what, whether it grows in the water or falls from the tree, in short, as long as they have a child, it is fine, as for the origin of the child, it is secondary.
It is for this reason that Xiao Zhan does not think that it is a miraculous thing for the canopy to fall out of the child, but that it is a gift from God.
I was a little helpless, so I took a branch and drew a diagram on the ground to tell her how the real child was born.
After listening to my story, Xiao Zhan still didn't believe it, and she asked me in some surprise: "Could it be that everyone in the world where you were originally born was born like this?" All born from a woman's belly? And when a woman gives birth, it hurts so much? If giving birth is so painful, why do you have to have children? ”
Well, I don't think I can explain this to her at all, after all, my knowledge is a little shallow, and in the end I can only tell her that this is to ensure the continuation of the race, so women are great, and bear more pain than men.
Xiao Zhan nodded, as if he had an understanding, and then I explained to her that the people of their tribe should have children in this way at the beginning, but then they didn't know how to become a big tree to do it for them, and this big tree seems to know that what they do is a bit overstepping, so every time it helps people have children, it first uses incense to stun people, and then sends the child to people, and then controls the trees in the woods to release detoxification gas, and wakes up those couples who ask for children. Let them leave with their children.
In this way, during the whole process, the husband and wife who ask for a child don't know how the child came to be, they will only think that the gift of the gods at this time, in fact, the origin of the child is really a little weird.
Then, after listening to my description, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask me, "If that's the case, then why did the big tree help us have a baby?" Why do they do it? Could it be to save women from suffering? ”
"No way, it's never that simple, my gut tells me that there is a big secret hidden here, if you don't believe me, let's go and investigate, maybe we can figure it out." I said to Xiao Zhan.
When Xiao Zhan heard this, she asked me if I was going to the stone mountain, I nodded and said yes, and then she quickly shook her head and said no, saying that it was too dangerous, the name of the stone mountain in the tribe is the mountain of the Holy Son, it is an absolute forbidden place, no one can approach, once it is close, you will find the punishment of the gods.
I had no choice but to try to explain to her again, telling her that there are no gods in this world at all, everyone is actually a dog-like creature, the difference is that some have great power and some have little power.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was still a little hesitant, but I didn't give her too much chance to hesitate, and directly wrapped her slender waist, took her with a leap, and ran towards the stone mountain.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan didn't say anything more, but hugged me nervously, and secretly looked sideways at the stone mountain, for fear of encountering any danger.
Since I have been using the Vitality Shield to cover our aura, we reached the top of the Stone Mountain without any accidents, although I also found some large trees with a lot of spiritual energy on the way, those big trees seemed to be tree spirits, they should be the guards of the Stone Mountain, but because they couldn't sense my aura, I still safely passed through their defense lines, and finally came to the Stone Mountain.
The stone mountain is not very high, the top is a little barren, all blue-black stones, on the surface, there is nothing special.
But all this obviously can't fool me, I've seen a big snake-like trunk grow here before, so there must be something wrong with the stone here, and it can't be as simple as it seems.
Sure enough, we explored the top of the mountain and made a quick discovery.
Some rocks on the top of the mountain, although the surface looks very similar to rocks, but as long as you touch them with your hands, you will find that they are not rocks at all, but soft, similar to mushrooms to the touch, and in some places they are like pieces of meat, not only elastic, but even covered with blood-like things.
What is this?
Xiao Zhan and I were both curious and couldn't figure out what was going on.
After a while, Xiao Zhan suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, as if she had thought of something.
I hurriedly asked her what was wrong, and then she looked around with a solemn face, and after a while, she was holding my hand tightly and said to me nervously, "I think they should be the legendary Akatsuki Demon." ”
"Akatsuki Demon, what's that?" I asked curiously.
"That's the legend of our tribe, legend has it that in the depths of the forest, there is an extremely strange and ferocious evil thing, this kind of thing has no arms, no legs and feet, no eyes and mouth, it is completely a large piece of blood-red flesh, the overall shape is very similar to the crescent moon, and then they also like moonlight, and will appear on moonlit nights, and many trumpet-shaped mouths open out of thin air on the meat block, absorbing the breath of the moonlight. This thing is so ferocious that any living creature that comes close to it will be absorbed by it, crushed and crushed, and become a part of it. Xiao Zhan explained to me.
Hearing this, I looked at those pieces of meat with curiosity, and found that its overall shape was indeed half-moon-shaped, that is, they didn't seem to be threatening.
"Whew-whoosh-"
Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard a strange sound, and then we looked up again, and we found that some trumpet-like mouths suddenly opened on those pieces of meat, and they kept swallowing the moonlight above, which was obviously absorbing the breath of the moonlight.
Seeing this situation, I was even more puzzled, and said to myself, could it be that this thing was asleep just now, so it didn't know about the arrival of me and Xiaozhan, so it didn't attack?
Soon, I overturned this idea in my heart, and then I had a flash of inspiration, and soon thought of something, I couldn't help but hold Xiao Zhan's slender waist and let her hug me tightly, and then I suddenly removed the vitality shield, completely exposing me and Xiao Zhan's breath to the air.
"Whew-"
Sure enough, after the Yuan Qi shield was removed, the Akatsuki Demon who was absorbing the moonlight suddenly let out a piercing scream, and then the piece of flesh writhed violently, casually rushing towards us like a bloated python.
