Chapter 69: Fallen Creatures

When I woke up again, I found that I was lying in a warm sleeping bag, and the pit was guarding me with its back to me, and I opened my mouth to call the pit, and the pit turned around quickly, and said happily: "Wake up, wake up, you can be considered awake." ”

Several other people also came around, and when they saw that I was fine, several people were relieved, Zhao Xiaoxu asked me several times in a row how I felt, whether it was better, and I was completely relieved after getting an answer that I definitely had to answer. Kaoru Mochizuki was also among them, and it seems that I was the only one who was seriously injured.

I moved my body to sit up, but it brought pain all over my body, Sasaki squatted down, and said a lot of Japanese, I couldn't understand what he said, so I had to ask Kaoru Mochizuki for help, Kaoru Mochizuki said that Sasaki meant that I hurt my ligaments this time, and my leg bones were also traumatized, so don't get up and move for the time being. Only then did I realize that I had a simple splint on my leg, which seemed to have been made of local materials.

I said thank you to Sasaki, I guess he understood, smiled and nodded, Kaoru Mochizuki said that this time thanks to Sasaki, if he hadn't been treated in time, he would have been left with lifelong sequelae, after hearing this, I said thank you to Sasaki a few times, and at the same time I didn't dare to despise this Japanese in my heart.

I asked the pit where it was, and the pit said it was the back of Ryukaku, and since Kaoru Mochizuki and I were captured by Greenbeard, they took the team to the other side of the mountain, while several people followed the trail all the way, and finally rescued us at the last moment.

Speaking of saving me, I remembered the big bird, judging from that accuracy, this big bird must have died at the hands of Song Jin, and my life was also Song Jin's down, and this is not the first time, I smiled at Song Jin, which is a thank you, after all, I really don't know what words to use to say thank you for this life-saving grace.

Then I thought of a question, what was the origin of the big bird, and the pit said that he didn't know it, or after they came back, they described the situation to Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao gave a general explanation. According to Lao Zhao, the name of this big bird is the four-clawed falcon, which is a legendary bird, that is to say, a creature that should not exist in reality, but there have also been witnesses, in the south, as for the first time to see this creature in the north. Legend has it that the four-clawed falcon is extremely fierce and good at attacking humans and large beasts, and one of the major features of this thing is that it has four claws, short in front and long in the back, and when it is not flying, the two front paws are tucked under the wings. In addition, Lao Zhao also told a story about the four-clawed falcon.

Legend has it that the four-clawed falcon did not originally have four claws, nor was it so large in size, and it can even be said that there was no such thing as a four-clawed falcon at all. In the beginning, the four-clawed falcon, like other birds, had a light body and two claws, and I don't know what it was called at first, so I also called it the four-clawed falcon.

The weak four-clawed falcon has always been at a disadvantage in the competition with other birds, especially some larger birds, so the four-clawed falcon is very envious of the size of other birds, and it can even be said that he is jealous, so he hopes every day that he can one day have a giant body, at least let it be protected from bullying.

The four-clawed falcon prayed incessantly every day, and was finally heard by the phoenix, the king of birds, who chose to appear in the four-clawed falcon's lair one night. The four-clawed falcon was stunned by the arrival of the phoenix, and it took a long time to remember to state his hardships and hopes to the phoenix, the phoenix had long known the four-clawed falcon's thoughts, so it met its requirements, but the precondition was to hand over half of its soul, the four-clawed falcon did not expect such a result, and the phoenix gave it a few days to think about it.

In the next few days, the four-clawed falcon was still bullied by other birds from time to time, so it made up its mind to accept the Phoenix's conditions, and finally it got its wish to have a huge size, and at the same time lost half of its soul, sometimes in spirit, sometimes in a mess, but one thing is for sure, it was no longer bullied by other birds because of its small size.

As the days passed, the four-clawed falcon began to change from not being bullied to making the other birds a little afraid of itself. The four-clawed falcon also noticed this, and gradually began to do some things to bully other birds. At this time, the four-clawed falcon began to be a little self-conscious, but after all, one time, it lost in the battle with the Roc, the four-clawed falcon returned to the previous inferiority, thinking about it, it thought that if it could have two more claws, it would not lose to the Roc, so it made a wish to the phoenix again, willing to use the remaining half of the soul, in exchange for two extra claws.

The four-clawed falcon achieved its goal, and the phoenix gave it two other claws, as well as all its souls. The four-clawed falcon, which had received two extra claws, became invincible and won another battle with the Roc. But this victory is one-sided in a sense, the four-clawed falcon that lost its soul began to eat some carrion, and finally found that the grave was digging up and eating the corpse, which for a time made the world full of terror, and people chose cremation and other funeral methods in order to avoid being eaten by the four-clawed falcon after death.

Unable to get carrion, the four-clawed falcon found another way and began to capture living people and kill them in their nests, waiting for the corpses to decompose and eat. The fear of the four claws has reached the extreme, and no one knows when the four-clawed falcon will be turned into a carrion.

The devastated people finally began to rebel, and they sought out the best hunters to form a team to find the nest of the four-clawed falcon, but these elite hunters were all turned into food by the four-clawed falcon.

People began to despair, and most people began to flee their homes, hoping to escape from it, and for a time the world was vicissitudes. Eventually, people thought of the bird king Phoenix, and prayed for it to end the catastrophe, and the phoenix agreed to the people's request, on the grounds that the four-clawed falcon had fallen into the demon world, and imprisoned it on the edge of the yin and yang worlds, and never entered the world, and since then the world has restored its previous peace, and the four-clawed falcon has disappeared from the people's world, no one has seen its figure again, and the legend about the great devil has also gone through thousands of years, and it seems ethereal.

After all, legends are legends, and the so-called imprisonment on the edge of the Yin and Yang worlds is obviously unreliable, if this is true, then aren't we now on the edge of the Yin and Yang worlds? So legends can only be legends.

Because of my injury, I was confined to my sleeping bag, unable to get up and move, and our team was stationed in place, nominally to rest, but I understood the real reason.

In the current situation, if the location of the ancient tomb cannot be determined as soon as possible, it will inevitably cause the morale of the military to fluctuate, and the most serious result is that even Kaoru Mochizuki will give up this operation, which will be considered a complete failure. And once Kaoru Mochizuki gives up, the impact on the rest of us is also huge, such as the pit, that is the impact of tens of millions of yen, for me, the idea of finding a clue to my sister through this operation will definitely be shattered, and Lao Zhao will lose a chance to get close to the jade seal of the country, of course, we can come back alone after that, but the problem is that with a few of us, we are not sure that we can find the location of the ancient tomb, and the chance of success will become smaller.

I had been in a coma before, and from the pit I knew that I had been asleep for two days, and I didn't feel anything at all, just a blink of an eye. Not long after waking up, night falls and people light bonfires and start preparing dinner. If tonight is counted, then a group of us have been in the same place for three days, and I think that such a long time is enough to make people's hearts have some abnormal movements, and without further ado, we can't drag it out any longer.

After dinner, I quietly called Kaoru Mochizuki to me while no one was paying attention. "Has there been any new development in the past two days?" I asked.

Kaoru Mochizuki sighed, lowered her head and said nothing, from her reaction, it is not difficult for me to know that she has still been at a loss for the past two days.

"The so-called dragon turned back, could it be that the mountain situation has changed here?" I used my brains to try to give Kaoru Mochizuki a little help.

"No, I've studied the terrain of this area. The place where Longjiao Peak is connected to the mountains before and after, there is no bending, that is to say, the mountain has not turned back, if you apply your nonsense theory that day, then the dragon of Fenglongshan is directly pierced into Longfeng Lake to absorb water. ”

My guess was completely shattered by Kaoru Mochizuki's words, and for a moment I couldn't think of any good way to explain this so-called dragon turnaround. At night, I looked at the dark Longjiao Peak, there was no light on the peak, and even the Dragon King Temple, which was ruined, was swallowed up by the night. A galaxy hangs in the sky, sweeping over the Dragon Horn Peak and flowing to the horizon.

The boundless darkness always brings some fear, and I don't know how Greenbeard and his gang are doing now, whether they are still following the path of my nonsense, or if they have found out that they have been deceived and go straight back to get revenge. Wherever they go, I don't want to see them again, and if they do, I'll do my best to take revenge on them. Now they are one with the darkness, and everything is so unknown to me.

Kaoru Mochizuki and I chatted for a while, but she was already a little tired, and the content we talked about did not make a fundamental breakthrough in the current situation, which made her a little discouraged.

After a long silence, I told her to rest first if she was tired, Kaoru Mochizuki glanced at me, helped me tidy up my sleeping bag, said good night, and turned to leave.

Looking at her back, I stopped her on a whim and said, "If I can, I want to go to Longjiao Peak again tomorrow." ”

Kaoru Mochizuki looked back at me and nodded.
