Chapter 9: The Cloud Garden
The four of them climbed along the pea seedlings for a while, and they could already see the heavy cloud in front of them.
Jumping from a green leaf to the clouds, Lu Li found that the clouds in the upper layer were all solidified together and turned into solid land, it is difficult to say how hard this is, but at least a huge palace over there has not collapsed, so presumably the ground of these clouds is still very strong.
Above the clouds, there is not only a castle, but also a garden and even a small lake, surrounded by white clouds and a gentle breeze, everything is so clear and beautiful.
Jasmine looked at it for a while before retracting her gaze, and at the same time taking this place down, and the idea of using it as a base in the future became even more firm: "Let's go, go and grab that disgusting monster and grab the rest of its peas." ”
Jasmine took the lead in pushing open the huge door of the castle and walked on the huge passageway, which was lined with all kinds of strange creatures, and Lu Li even saw deep divers and ghouls from inside.
Just after entering the hall, the B block of the entire castle was instantly lowered a lot, and I saw a huge and rough bone seat standing in the center of the hall, and there were many white bones of various creatures or a cloud of jet-black stains around it, the most of which were bird bones and bird feathers, and the disgusting smell permeated the hall.
On the wall in the middle of the hall there is an oil painting of a moon beast, and behind the moon beast there are many creatures with collars, including humans, other creatures, and of course an ancient leather giant.
Behind the hall, there are several normal human-height passages, so it's probably right, this castle was originally a colony of a moon beast, or a back garden, but I don't know what happened.
It may be that the moon beast left, or it may be that something happened that caused this castle garden in the clouds to be occupied by the ancient leather giants who were originally slaves, and these white bone seats are estimated to be made by the ancient leather giants.
The whole hall is the rest room of the ancient leather giants, and the inner passage, because of the size, the ancient leather giants cannot enter, at most stretch out their claws to grab something.
Several people crossed the stinking hall and walked together into a small passageway.
Later, it was discovered that behind this passage was a chicken coop, probably the hen that could lay golden eggs, and if you looked closely, you could see some chicken feathers on the ground.
So a few people turned back to the hall and re-entered a passage, and then found that there were many traces next to the passage, and it seemed that the ancient leather giants were very fond of grabbing things inside.
When they entered, they felt a light in their eyes, and a window opened in the roof of the room, and the light shone down from the window, shining on the large pile of gold, silver, and jewels in the room, and it shone brightly, which was enough to brighten the blindness of wealth.
Judging from the traces, the ancient leather giant has captured a lot of treasures, as for what to do, Lu Li feels that he is afraid that he will use it to hunt birds, think about the bones in the hall, the ancient leather giants trapped above the clouds, after eating other species that were also slaves before, I am afraid that they can only rely on attacking passing birds to make a living.
It's miserable to think about, I've been hungry for a long time, and I can only rely on catching birds for a living, and suddenly I saw a human coming to steal something, so I naturally pursued it with the idea of adding food, and then I saw the vines leading to the ground, and then I fell down and died.
Lu Li estimated that the ancient leather giant must have something to say, and he had to say it out loud, he sat in the castle, didn't recruit anyone and didn't mess with anyone, eating chickens, listening to the harp, occasionally hitting two small birds and a meal, and suddenly a human stole the chicken.
The treasure in the room can be touched by it is almost wiped out, it is now relying on the golden eggs laid by the hen to smash the bird, which makes it not angry how to do it, and then not only steals the chicken, the human also took away the only harp that can cultivate sentiment, can the ancient leather giant not chase?
You run, run, the ancient leather giant is so angry in his heart, I saw the pea seedlings that can escape, and then it would be good not to chase you, who knew that the kid was doing a desperate plan, and directly cut the pea seedlings, so the confused ancient leather giant hung up like this, and it didn't count if it was hung, and the body was eaten as raw meat sauce.
"These treasures can be kept for trading with those who come here in the future. Jasmine said with satisfaction, they didn't have much to do this time, mainly to inquire about the situation, with these gold coins, they must be able to trade more items.
"Let's arrest Jack first, the strength of the moon beast is not strong, but they still have to be careful with their endless black technology. Lu Li reminded: "Another thing to pay attention to is what exactly caused Jack to be infected and mutated into a moon beast. ”
"I don't think you want to lose your eyes, grow tentacles on your face, and all your skin will fall off, right?" Lu Li said with interest, he really wanted these people to be infected, let him study what is the difference between people in the dream realm and real people.
"Understood, go straight to the armor and go through the passage in the center. Jasmine frowned in disgust, and the cyan aura flashed on her body, and she completed the armoring, and walked out of the place first, walking towards the passage in the center, and the half-armor of Mondstadt and Lore behind her were also semi-armored.
These spirit envoys maintain armor and will continue to consume their own physical strength and aura, so they usually carry out armor before the war starts, but thinking that there are things here that can infect people into moon beasts, they don't save their physical strength and aura.
The battle was surprisingly simple, and in the last bedroom of the central passage, they found Jack sleeping on the bed, and saw that it was several men in armor, and it rushed up with great force, only to be easily crushed to the ground by Jasmine, unable to move.
Although this Jack has obtained the body of the moon beast, he does not seem to have inherited the high intelligence of the moon beast, or he still retains the way of human behavior, just because he was affected by the body of the moon beast and did some brutal things.
I have to say that the moon beast is really a sadistic race, there are a lot of torture tools in this bedroom, using the existing torture tools in the bedroom, to extract a confession from Jack for a period of time, and then Jack confessed everything.
The contents are pretty much the same, he was discovered by the giant when he came to steal the harp, and ran into the master bedroom, and after entering the bedroom, he was attacked by a pink-gray lump of flesh at the head of the bed, and it was because of that lump of flesh that he became the current appearance of the moon beast.
Then Lu Li and the others found the big box, interrogated the use of the props in it one by one, and got the last pea.
There are just two questions, which even Jack himself doesn't know, that is, who is exchanging pea seeds with him, and what are the specific physical qualities, and the other question is where did the harp go?
Jack said he didn't know about these two questions.
