Chapter 70: Gezhi (10)

Since leaving the tribe yesterday morning, Habibie has begun to think about it like an encounter in a dream. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he was worried that if he left, the monster named Milor would embarrass his family or return to the tribe. If you can tell the truth about Milor to the oldest and wisest old wizard, I don't know what will happen to the old man. Another thing that scared Habibi was that if he ran away this time and did not obey and become a sacrifice to God, would God be furious and bring disaster to the tribe. Why does God have to sacrifice children, what do they do with them, do they eat them? Habibie, who had been thinking about these things for a long time, saw the river that the tribesmen regarded as the river of the gods, and found that the mountain behind him was actually shrouded in a faint halo. He didn't notice the shouting of someone on the other side of the river behind him, and he didn't notice the strange sounds that were muffled by the sound of rushing water.

Covacs, who found that he had become a loner, was about to return home, but accidentally noticed a small figure on the other side. It was a child, a child who had come out of the dense forest, but was not ready to cross the river. The child turned to see that Ecovacs had already spotted the mountain in the distance where the halo was emitting. In what seemed to be a deserted place, a small child appeared, which made Ecovacs vigilant enough. Before coming to the Philek continent, he had made a lot of preparations, including checking out all the books about the continent in the Library of Great Brilles. Ecovacs learns that many of the peoples found on this continent, while most claim to be God-favored peoples, are too backward to believe. People like guides are already the most civilized on the continent. Ecovacs also saw his familiar clay tablets in one of the books. The picture was drawn with a quill, based on the oral accounts of the natives he had seen, and it was evident from the clumsy brushwork that the author was very poor at drawing, but Ecovacs saw something he was interested in in the simple paintings. One of the gods of the Moss tribe is very similar to him after the change, he asked the library, and the strange thing is that the information left by the author consulted by the library is actually false, that is, no one knows where the book came from, and as for the Moss tribe, it is probably made up by good people. Ecovacs noted that there was no second book like this. Through his brother's connection, Ecovacs was able to borrow the book and bring it to Philem. He was going to take advantage of this opportunity to visit Ephyrek to find out if there was a tribe called Moss.

But now he had to go home, and a one-man journey in this place was a ridiculous act of death. Not to mention the natural dangers, even the savage tribes scattered in the forest or the mountains are also very dangerous, and maybe if you go any further, Ecovacs will become a lot of meat skewers, set up on a campfire, ticking fat and then turning into a delicious meal. If it weren't for the kid on the other side, Ecovacs might have walked back a long way. When Ecovacs saw the child, he naturally saw the flattened thing hanging from the river of Nda with droplets of water slowly rising. After emerging from the narrow river, the monster changed its position, and the child did not notice what appeared behind him. Sensing the danger, Ecovacs shouted at the child, trying to tell him to hide. The child didn't react, and the monster glowed, two, one for Ecovacs and one for the child. Ecovacs had no special feeling for the light projected, and the child on the other side disappeared in the dazzling light. Whether it was lightened or absorbed, it was gone. Ecovacs put his hands on his eyes and tried to see the other side, but the banks of the river began to collapse. Ecovacs had no choice but to keep backing away from the violent vibrations, and strangely enough, the light never left him.

Warman shook his master for a while before he opened his swollen eyes. After a while, Ecovacs opened his mouth and asked, "Where have you all been?" Warman felt inexplicable, he slept in the tent next door, did he have a habit of sleepwalking. He asked him why he asked the question, and Ecovacs realized that it was a dream. The sound of people walking and talking back and forth outside the tent indicated that it was indeed a dream, and he felt a sense of relief. Last night's drinks made him sleep very deeply, and he also had a nightmare. Packing up and getting out of the tent, the people in the group had already begun to pack their belongings, and some began to prepare breakfast, a kind of shriveled cake, slightly boiled in hot soup, which seemed to make people lose their appetite at all. Ecovacs stretched and saw the mountain he had seen in his dream, the fallen mountain called Korors. Almost exactly like in the dream, the mountain peak was shrouded in a faint aura, and it was indeed a magical mountain as Karim had said. Ecovacs planned to visit there if he stopped by, and he had a hunch that something unusual would happen there.

It didn't have to wait until it reached the mountain for Ecovacs to encounter a new situation. Karim called everyone's attention to a shadow that was swaying and moving at the edge of the forest on the other side, which was still somewhat dim. Ecovacs was shocked, kid! Sure enough, it was a child, and the child looked at the forest behind him as he walked. When I got to the river, I only looked at the river a few times and turned to look at the mountain. A voice in Ecovacs' heart told him that something was going to appear in the river. After reciting it silently in my heart a few times, I couldn't help but say it in my mouth. Suddenly screamed, and everyone was startled. What's wrong with this gentleman, what can appear in the river? Strange as they were, everyone watched as Karim pulled out the hunting knife pinned to his waist and grabbed it in his hand, and they all picked up something that could be used as a weapon, and slowly retreated back into a ball. The children on the other side of the river didn't make any movement except looking at the mountain, and the group of people here stood as if they were facing a great enemy, looking a little weird, and Ecovacs summed up the matter afterwards.

Everyone was nervous for a long time, and no one paid attention to the fact that the dough cakes cooked in the pot had softened into the soup. Just as everyone was about to put down their weapons in discouragement, the river changed the direction of its flow, and some splashed towards the sky, as if the river water that had escaped the gravitational pull of the earth flew high into the sky. Sure enough, danger came, and everyone continued to retreat, only Karim led the King of the Hunt forward with all his strength, barking incessantly. Karim yelled at the dog and finally called it back, and the dog was lying in front of the man, restless and walking around. The object that emerged from under the river was a shuttle when it first appeared, and gradually rose up, and finally the monster that was completely exposed changed its posture, flattened, exactly like what Ecovacs encountered in his dream. Even Ecovacs began to wait for the dazzling light to shine through, and he subconsciously put his hand on his eyebrows. The others didn't know what Ecovacs had seen in his dream, and in the face of the sudden monster, he had to protect himself by placing the objects he had in his hands.

The light was cast, but not at Ecovacs, but at everyone but Ecovacs. Several rays of light shone on the people from beginning to end before they took care of the children on the other side of the river. The light fell on the child, who finally turned around, and Ecovacs could see that it was a dark-skinned child. The monster seemed to hesitate, and after a moment of irradiation, its posture changed and flew away from its position in an instant. The child was frightened and stood at the edge of the forest on the other side. The crowd on this side of the river, with the exception of Ecovacs and Warman, were all natives, and they fell to the ground, babbling something. Warman told Ecovacs that he felt familiar with how his body felt when the light came in just now. Ecovacs looked at Warman, could it be that Warman was also a shapeshifter? The people who had fallen to the ground finally stood up long after the monster had gone away. It's ironic that people continue to do what they need to do as if nothing had happened. Breakfast had been ruined, and people had to eat shriveled bread and drink some water to get ready for the road.

Karim was asked by Warman what was on their lips when they fell to the ground, and he used several gestures to say it several times. These are all obscure words, which Ecovacs thinks are probably used in the tribe for sacrifices, or when they are doing something related to the gods. Karim said that it was the god's car, and Warman asked why the Lord of the Hunt was still wary of their god. Karim shrugged and said that the king of the hunt was just a dog, and besides, there are evil gods in divine powers, and God knows if it will be a good god or an evil god that he encountered today. This return made Warman cry and laugh, and he could only stop looking at Ecovacs. This is not a problem that they need to face right now, and if they want to keep going, they have to cross this river of grace. There were no means to cross the river, and Corvus wondered how the ancestors of the Karim tribe had come from the other side, and Karim said that there was no Nda River at all, and that it was just a thin crack in the ground, and that the ancestors had cut down the trees on the other side and put them on top of it. When they came here, they didn't plan to go back, and naturally they didn't keep the bridge they had built, and then it became a river, and no one went back there. Warman asked, "Then how can you be our guide if you haven't been to the other side?" Karim said I have a legend.

I see, but the legend that Karim relied on couldn't help Corvus and them to the other side. Karim tugged at the Lord of the Hunt's ears, whispered a few words, handed the end of the rope to the King of the Hunt, and the King of the Hunt went into the water. It didn't take long for the king of the hunt to reach the other side with the rope in his mouth, and what was even more amazing was that the dog also wrapped the rope around a stone on the shore and tied a dead buckle. Ecovacs felt that even if he didn't know how to hunt, the dog was very powerful, and it was the first time he had ever seen a dog on a leash, which Karim said was because the king of the hunt had grown up with the elders of the tribe. At this moment, Habibie stopped standing still and hid in the forest. Ecovacs urged everyone to cross the river quickly, because he had seen the child in his dream, and he wanted to get in touch with the dark-skinned child. Just across the river, the landforms on both sides of the river are completely different, and even the climate and temperature are a little different. Some of the hot and dry air makes Ecovacs feel very comfortable, and he is not used to the hot and dry weather that he has been exposed to every day these days.

The King of the Hunt finally showed his skills, sniffing and leading the crowd forward. Under a leafy tree, the King of the Hunt raised his head and barked. Karim climbed up with his hands and feet, and then he grabbed the child who had taken refuge in the forest with one hand, and slid down with the trunk of the tree with the other. Because of the fear of the little children with their backs to the big trees, waiting to look at everyone. After several inquiries from Karim, the child finally spoke. This kid named Habibie speaks the same language as Karim. Habibie asks if these people are sent by God, and if they recognize Milor. When they learned that they didn't know what Miloel was or that they had been sent by a god, the little ones relaxed. Looking at the emaciated little child, Ecovacs gave him some of his own bread. How could a child be alone in the forest, Habibie told what had happened to him, causing another chorus of prayers from the crowd. Through Karim, Ecovacs asks little Harpy if he would like to take them to the fallen mountain of Colors, and before he has finished eating the bread, Harpy stands up and begins to lead the way, and Ecovacs realizes that he has a liking for the child. Before crossing the river, Ecovacs looked at the coordinates given by his brother, and he roughly marked them on the map, and found that the coordinates were close to the magical mountain, and considering the error of the map, it was probably a place at all. What is puzzling is how the brother can have such accurate coordinates.

The fall of Koros, Ecovacs muttered several last two words in his mouth, could it be that the one who came out of the river of Grace was the so-called Korors, and the fall referred to the monster falling on that mountain? Walking through the forest is completely different from walking in the desert, the speed is very slow, and Habibie, who is used to it, has to stop several times to wait for Ecovacs behind them. This time, when Ecovacs thought Habibie was waiting for them again, Habibiz turned and ran towards them. There was a word in his mouth, Milor. The evil shapeshifter arrived, and everyone began to hide behind the tree, and Warman pulled out a sketchbook to draw it when the time came. Ecovacs had already stepped back, but for some reason he had changed his mind and walked forward. In the forest ahead, there was the characteristic sound of branches breaking and leaves falling to the ground, and Milor could be seen from a distance.

Habibie was not right, it was not Milor that emerged from the forest, but something that looked like a carriage but was not dragged by horses. This thing is not afraid of the big tree at all, and the big tree that stands in his way is so savage that it directly breaks it. Ecovacs has also seen the world over the years, and as far as he knows, the whole of Europa, that is, Breez, can lead the world in production technology in the world, and in the far east, that is, the empire called China. But even these two empires could not have created such a tall and strange thing. Before the monster could reach it, it attacked, setting fire to the trees and grass in the area where everyone was staying, just right to clear a clearing. A slender object stretched out from the front of the monster, came to Ecovacs, and suddenly stuck Covacs's neck. Warman gets nervous, and he rushes out to help Ecovacs. The slender thing shrank back of its own accord, and the monster made a strange noise that burrowed into everyone's ears, and a splitting headache came from the people, and people crouched down to cover their ears to no avail. Ecovacs also felt a headache, but in the darkness before him, something strange appeared that he was sure he had never seen before.
