Chapter 18: The Huntress
When Yang Rui flew over the forest again, he found that the area of the forest had expanded many times more than what was in front of him, and it had already rendered this once vast wasteland lush and green. He lowered his height and entered the interior of the forest through the dense foliage.
It's still so dark and quiet.
Yang Rui floated forward slowly, looking for the place where the lake had been dug for Egner. After a long time, he also forgot where the lake was.
Just as Yang Rui continued to move forward, he noticed the sound of wings flapping around him, and he saw a small bird flying beside him.
It has a golden body, a red beak, and blue eyes, and looks very petite and cute. The little bird was concentrating on flying, probably not noticing Yang Rui beside him.
Yang Rui followed it through the dense foliage and came to the depths of the forest. The little bird stopped on a branch, shook its feathers, and began to sing to its heart's content.
Soon more birds were drawn in, and it became a concert hall, with all kinds of birdsong intertwined like a symphony of nature.
Yang Rui listened to these chirps almost obsessively, because he hadn't heard such a familiar and beautiful voice for a long time. It made him feel like he was back in time, back to the things he felt as a human being.
He suddenly had an idea, he was surrounded by the golden bird, and he wondered if he could become a bird. In fact, he could do it, because after he had this idea, he had already become a cute little bird.
The birds gathered to sing did not notice that there was another companion among them. Yang Rui was the hardest singer among them, because he hadn't been so happy in a long time.
After that, he fluttered his wings and flew, observing his petite body, the soft feathers, and at the same time feeling the thrust of the air as he shook his wings, everything was more real than when he came down in his transparent form, for he also heard the pulsation of the bird's heart.
This is Yang Rui's voice that he hasn't seen for a long time.
Just as he was flying in the woods, he suddenly saw a sturdy figure shaking on the ground, in the chaotic grass.
Yang Rui was attracted by the figure, lowered his flight altitude, and followed the figure closely above the grass. this
This figure moved very quickly, and due to the cover of the dense grass, Yang Rui didn't see what it looked like for a while. The figure came to a clearing in the woods, where tall trees grew with their strong, thick rhizomes all breaking through the earth, twisting and rolling on the ground, rising high.
Suddenly, the figure jumped on the thick rhizome, and Yang Rui saw the figure as it was.
It was the perfect female with long legs, a muscular torso, towering twin peaks, and long blond hair. The pale pink skin faintly exudes an intoxicating aura, and a pair of dark blue eyes shine with a charming light. Yang Rui concluded that she was not an animal, because she was wearing a short skirt and blouse made of animal skins, and light boots made of leaves on her feet, which looked quite surname-like.
In addition to the trousers on her body and the boots on her feet, the female held a delicate longbow in her hand, the bow was made of ebony, the delicate arc and the intricate patterns on it were enough to show the civilization of this species, and the combination of the bowstring and the bow body was so integrated that there was no trace of any joint, which was simply a perfect work of art, not a hunting weapon.
The female surnamed obviously didn't notice that Yang Rui, who had turned into a bird, was circling around her. Because her attention was all focused on the grass not far away.
There was a fawn quietly eating the grass under the roots of the tree, not noticing the eyes that had locked on it in the distance.
The female took out the feather arrow from the arrow behind her, stood sideways, filled the feather arrow on the bowstring, and pulled the bow full with both arms, making a "clucking" sound when the bowstring was tightened. Her expression was focused, her gaze resolute, and her white teeth biting her lip gently.
The posture of the bow and arrow is simply beautiful.
The fawn didn't realize that disaster was coming, and still leisurely nibbled on the young grass. The moment the bowstring was released, it was drawn in, and it looked up in panic.
At this moment, a feathered arrow struck the target like lightning, and the fawn's neck was pierced by the feathered arrow, and it gasped and fell to the ground dead.
Seeing the fawn fall to the ground with an arrow, a smug smile appeared on the corner of the female surname's mouth. She stretched out her lithe body, and in a few crossings came to the dead deer.
He stretched out his slender fingers and stroked the fur of the dead deer, and his mouth silently seemed to be praying. Then she pulled out the feathered arrow from the neck of the dead deer, plucked a leaf, wiped the blood of the arrow clean, put it back in the dendrobium, and pulled the dagger from her waist.
Yang Rui clearly saw that the dagger was shining with cold light, the shape was exquisite, and the craftsmanship was exquisite, only intelligent beings could create such a good tool.
Yang Rui thought in his heart, he had created countless creatures so far, but he had not created intelligent creatures. Where did this female-surnamed humanoid creature come from?
Looking at the physical signs, they are definitely not Aigner, could it be that during the time I entered the earth's core, another alien visited this planet and settled here?
At that moment, a beast's roar was heard from the nearby grass, and then a large sharp-toothed beast sprang out and pounced on the female.
The female humanoid dodged the sudden attack in the distance, dagger in hand, ready to take on the toothed beast.
Yang Rui focused all his attention on this female humanoid and ignored the sharp-toothed beast that was quietly lurking. Seeing the beast attacking, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately fluttered his wings and rushed down, poking his sharp beak into the eye of the sharp-toothed beast.
The Tooth Beast would never have thought that a small yellow bird would attack it. He hit with his giant claws, and Yang Rui deftly dodged it.
Then, he returned to his original form, only to see a dazzling white light suddenly flash in the jungle, and the sharp-toothed beast was shocked by Yang Rui's divine power, trembling and prostrate on the ground and not daring to move, a pair of eyes looked desperately at the white light, praying for God's forgiveness for it.
Yang Rui came to the front of the sharp-toothed beast and said softly, "Let's go, I won't kill you today." ”
The Sharp-Toothed Beast was pardoned, turned and fled into the grass, never to be seen again.
And the female surnamed like also saw the white light, and was stunned. But he still held the dagger tightly in his hand, his body was half-crouching, and he was holding the ground with one hand, looking ready to attack, as if he was going to attack at any time.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Elus, do you still want to use force before God?" ”
Yang Rui looked towards the source of the voice, and behind the tall trees, more than a dozen humanoid warriors with sturdy bodies and weapons in their hands walked out.
The leader is two meters tall, his chest is as thick as an iron plate, and on his angular face, a pair of big eyes exude the breath of a king.
Elus asked, "Chief, I don't understand what you're saying. ”
The leader ignored Irune and walked up to Yang Rui, fell to the ground and said reverently, "My master, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”
Yang Rui hung in the air and looked at this mighty guy, and asked strangely, "Are you?" ”
The leader raised his head to look at Yang Rui, revealing a gentle and humble smile: "My people and I are those carrion-eating monsters you saved from the wreckage of the mothership. ”
Yang Rui couldn't believe his ears, let alone his eyes. The tall and mighty humanoid man in front of him was the sticky, stiff, and ugly Aigner.
He asked, "How did you become like this?" And your people, all this...... What's going on? ”
The big man said, "We Aigner have come to this day because of the brilliance of your god name. I think it's a long story, and I'll tell you about it later. Since you have visited the Sacred Lake Forest, our home in Egna. It is necessary for me to be the head of the family to be hospitable to you, my master, who have come from afar. ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "I'm so glad that you all gave this forest a name, the Holy Lake Forest, well, it sounds good." ”
The big man said, "Not only does this forest have its own name, but also me and my people. ”
Yang Rui asked, "Tell me, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Cesarian and my last name is Nightsong."
Yang Rui exclaimed excitedly: "What a beautiful name." ”
Cesarian said to Elus and the other Aigners, "Kneel, this is the god we believe in. ”
Although these Egners could not see Yang Rui's form, they could all feel an incomparably powerful force in front of them, and they all knelt down in accordance with Cesarian's orders.
Cesarian said to Yang Rui, "My master, please come with me." ”
Yang Rui smiled and said: "Is it a little rude for me to do this, at least I should become something so that everyone can see me." ”
"Forgive the impudence of these Egnars, they are all young, they were all born in this forest, so they have not seen you," said Thessarion. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Rui became a standard Aigner man. This is not difficult for Yang Rui, as long as there is a reference, he can change into any form he wants.
The Egners, with the exception of Cesarian, were all stunned by what was in front of them. Yang Rui looked at his new self and laughed, he patted Cesarian on the shoulder and said, "I still have to thank you and your people." It's been a long time since I've been in this form, and it's not good to be floating in the sky all the time, and I'm as lonely as a ghost! ”
Cesarian always maintained a humble posture and tone, and said, "My lord, it is a pleasure for you to be closer to us. This is our glory. ”
Yang Rui couldn't wait to ask, "I can't remember how long I've been away from you." Tell me how you've been doing all these years. ”
Cesarian led the way, and when he heard Yang Rui's question, he replied, "It has been a full ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine days since you last left us. ”
Yang Rui sighed in his heart: "More than two hundred and seventy years? How is this possible? ”
Cesarian smiled and said, "Indeed, it's been more than two hundred and seventy years. The fruit of the forest has ripened more than two hundred and seventy times. ”
"But you don't look old at all."
"It's up to you."
"Why is that? I didn't even leave food with you, how can I have a gift? ”
"My lord, I'll tell you when I'm home," said Cesarian, with a firm step. ”;
