The legend of the Nine Nights of the Voyage, the incarnation of the three-tailed moonlight night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The shell didn't die immediately, the tough skin allowed it to retain a glimmer of life after this incredible devastation, but it was also unable to move, and could only fall to the ground and gasp for breath as the moon praying man drew closer.
"Look, what did I find?" Obviously, all this was expected by the unknown moon prayer man, he had already pulled out a dagger made of black crystals from his waist at this time, from the shimmering cold light blade surface can see how sharp this thing is, "There is a lone barge here, I can try to eat it, a barge can provide me with energy for several days, as long as the head is cut off, the rest of the parts can be eaten raw, it has more than 6 times the protein of ordinary meat." Of course, if time is not pressing, we can roast them first, which will be more delicious, and they will have a crunchy texture. ”
Although it was impossible for the barge to understand the language of the Moon Prayer, the instinct of life still made it realize that the guy in front of it was smiling and saying something quite terrifying, and the strong malice that seemed to transcend this world made it struggle in horror...... But its broken body was clearly not enough to fight the moon prayer in front of it, so it could only stare widen as the moon prayer in front of it pierced its eyeball through its eyeball with the black dagger and directly into the brain.
Pain Pain ...... There was only time for this moment of sharp pain to flash through the shell's mind, and the consciousness completely disappeared from this world.
It's a blade made entirely of obsidian, a material known as volcanic glass, which may not be as tough as a metal alloy, but it's clearly terrifyingly sharp.
Sure, it may be a little less practical, but the obsidian dagger is more symbolic, and the dark colors make it a special and glorious status symbol, which far outweighs its usefulness in this area.
"Sure enough, can't it be recovered at all......" After confirming that the barge in front of him had completely lost his life under his mending knife, the Moon Prayer Man stepped forward to examine it carefully, and looked at the hard fragments deeply embedded in the surface of the barge with some regret, which was the part of the original arrow tip, and at this time, it pierced into the body of the barge like shrapnel after the explosion of a grenade, "There is not much stock left." ”
He didn't rush to dispose of the barge corpse, but looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no big movement, he took out a small section of wooden pole from the package around his waist. With a slight pull, the apparently folded pole stretched towards the ends, revealing the balancing feathers through the gap, and he found an arrow from the inside of the package that was identical to the bow he had used to be. It was not a whole structure, but a piece of work of several different shapes, and he expertly pulled open one of the joints of the arrow, and after fitting the conduit of a fully sealed liquid container to the seam, he allowed some kind of liquid to flow naturally down the conduit, and then closed the container as quickly as possible.
"The liquid sap extracted from the fruit of the Vulcan Tree...... You should never stress too much when you come into contact with the air, and every time you handle something like this, it's really scary. After resealing the kettle-like container of liquid, he breathed a sigh of relief and fastened the fully sealed tips to the arrows, which he could not carry all the tips with him on the road because they were not as tightly sealed as the original container...... Otherwise, all explosive liquids will completely deteriorate within a few days, and if something happens when the liquid is injected, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to leave behind fragments that can be seen in human form. Fortunately, this explosive arrow is indeed very powerful, and generally speaking, there will not be a prey that cannot be solved by hitting an explosive arrow...... At least not among the goals he is capable of.
Therefore, his habit is to always have a completed explosive arrow by his side to deal with those fierce beasts that ordinary attacks cannot fight, and ordinary animals can completely do it with his skills and a slender thin sword behind his back, and there is no need to use such a ferocious weapon.
"The rest of the stock should be enough to make it to the beach." After inspecting the remaining inventory of equipment, the moon praying man muttered a little unconfidently, fixed the finished explosive arrow to a special mechanism on the bow, and then carried the bow behind him, while grabbing the dead barge claw on the ground with his other hand, and directly dragged the beast, which was larger than his size, all the way on the ground.
At this time, thousands of years have passed since the epic catastrophe of that year, and the Great Flood and Ice Age seem to have changed from a terrible disaster that must be faced to an ancient myth that does not know whether it is true or not. Naturally, the moon prayers of this era could no longer have any feelings about the catastrophe that was real thousands of years ago, and they listened to it more as an interesting story. When the Moon Prayer people who once lived in a warm climate die from generation to generation, the new generation will naturally not think that there is anything wrong with the temperature after the sudden drop...... The world they see is always like this, and so is the temperature they adapt to.
Following the Age of Divine Grace in the Eighth Age, the Ninth Age of Arashi is known as the Age of Voyages, because it was an era when the Age of Discovery was gradually beginning to begin, and new continents and oceans were constantly appearing on the map. The Gorge of Life and Death, which required nine deaths to cross in the past, has now become a passage to and fro, and the probability of life and death seems to be completely reversed. At the same time, this era is sometimes referred to by historians as the ruler rule, because it was a new era in which mathematics and culture began to flourish, and seafaring adventures led to the increasing prosperity of commerce, etc., and together they contributed to the development of mathematics. In order to obtain greater benefits, merchants began to calculate benefits versus expenses. In order to determine the route ahead, the navigator began to calculate the course of observation of celestial phenomena.
Interests have made the Moon Prayers realize the importance of knowledge, and the development of knowledge has promoted the gradual improvement of the social system of this race. Interestingly, when the Shiokai people gradually changed from a cruel civil war between each other to a peaceful era under the unified management of the Holy City, the Prayer Moon people gradually changed from a united heart in the disaster to a state of civil war in which they were divided from each other and attacked each other in chaos, and the concept of the state was basically perfected.
Perhaps, while the progress of civilization has gradually advanced, the race that could hardly lie or deceive among its own people has also changed.
A large part of the people who took refuge in the moon returned to the Northern Yuan Continent after the disaster subsided, and now, after thousands of years of evolution, hundreds of kingdoms of different sizes have almost divided the land of the Southern Yuan Continent and the Northern Yuan Continent. Under these circumstances, the notion that no tribe could be a clan without a large moon tree was gradually weakened, and many small villages did not even have a single moon tree, but the power of having a large moon tree still gave most people a sense of trustworthiness...... It's not just a matter of religious beliefs, the fact that you can occupy the ancient Moon Tree itself speaks to the strength of those forces, and the weak ones will only be plundered.
The only exception may be near the oldest giant moon prayer tree on the Nanyuan continent, which is definitely the most spectacular moon prayer tree on the two continents, and its huge body of more than 300 meters tall is still standing in this world thousands of years later. The Moon-Prayer Tree, which claims to be the embodiment of the Moon God's Guard, survived the climate change and was divided into a permanently neutral and independent royal city at the strong request of countless Moon-Worshippers. No one can mess with it here, and no kingdom is allowed to divide it into its own territory, and along with the nearby Valley of Destiny, which is rumored to be a holy place, it becomes a buffer between nations.
Of course, that sacred royal city at this time has little to do with our story. This is a wilderness forest near Xinghua Lake, which is located on the Nanyuan continent near the Gorge of Life and Death, surrounded by sparse leaf forests, because legend has it that someone in the wild saw a little starlight slowly falling from the sky to the surface of the lake. A large area of the vicinity belonged to the same country, one of the most powerful countries on the continent, and the name of the country was Nine Nights.
Nine Nights was not actually the name of a country at first, but a cat-like creature with the deepest dark coat color, and was rumored in ancient mythology to be the embodiment of the night, capable of concealing the presence of light. Interestingly, this description does not mean that they are evil, but rather praises their beauty as deep as the night, which can bring peace and tranquility to the living and the dead.
I don't know when the legend changed between word of mouth. A new theory has gradually emerged among the moon-praying people in this area, who believe that the entire land is carried on the back of a giant black cat that never-ending runs and plays around the sun in the void world. Night falls when its hair obscures the sun, the sweat that evaporates from its running turns into clouds in the sky, the blood that heats up from movement is the boiling magma beneath the earth, and the debris of its hair that splatters out becomes a sky full of stars. One of the most interesting theories is that the three moons in the sky are essentially shining bells on the black cat's tail, which have three different tails, each of which changes the moon's trajectory in the sky as it rocks back and forth.
Obviously, this myth even places the status of the Nine Night Cats above the three moon gods. However, the Moon Prayer People have never worshipped the March God as the supreme god, and their legend has always been that because these three moon gods directly created life, they are the most grateful gods of all beings, and many gods actually don't care about those mundane lives at all, and completely ignore them.
Legend has it that those three-tailed Nine Night Cats are the direct descendants of the giant black cat that carries the earth, so this creature is respected as a sacred beast by the Moon Prayer People in this country, and even the country is named after it, I don't know if it is an accident of fate or a sense of inevitability, and the story of the voyage begins in the country called Nine Nights.
Unaware of the path of his future fate, the young man of the Moon Prayer carried a longbow and a sword on his back, dragging the dead barge corpse in his hand, and walked forward like a knight who was a home from all over the world in ancient times.
