98 · A windbreak country without rain
The madman dragged his tired body slowly, he kept plucking branches from his side, chewing the juice to relieve his urgent needs, and Chen Jian imitated him and gnawed on the branches.
It's a lot better, but the hunger doesn't quench it.
As he continued to go deeper, the air had completely condensed, and every step of the madman was as difficult as reaching the sky, and he had to exhaust all his strength to open his legs, and even Chen Jian, who was lying on his shoulder, felt extremely strong resistance, and his body was flattened, close to a state of suffocation.
"Really...... It's difficult!" Even in this situation, the madman kept nagging, "I only heard that the country of Fengfeng didn't treat us well...... I didn't expect ...... It's so hot. ”
"Hmm-" Chen Jian replied with difficulty.
Every time he pulled his vocal cords, it was like being rubbed back and forth by a saw, and he didn't want to make any sound, but listening to the madman singing a one-man show made him unhappy, so every time the madman said a dozen words, he would have a weak "um" sound. However, this response has been more than 20 sentences since the last time.
The madman heard a voice from his shoulder and said happily, "You...... I'm still alive!"
Chen Jian no longer chewed on the branch, but took it in his mouth, slowly eroding it with sporadic saliva: "Hmm-" He hummed weakly.
"Multi-...... Eat some twigs. ”
The madman turned his head and stuffed the branches collected in the round basket into Chen Jian's mouth.
"Look ahead!" Chen Jian tried his best to make a faint voice.
"Ahead?ahhh
He and Chen Jian looked up at the same time.
A giant standing tall in front of them was the height of four madmen. The giant roared in displeasure and hung his head to figure out what had hit his foot.
"Wow," the madman hurriedly fell backwards and fell to the ground, "it's a giant!"
The giant heard the madman's cry, and his huge face showed disgust, and he moved slowly, his right leg raised upward.
"Run!" Chen Jian shouted.
"What's wrong?!" The madman didn't understand what the giant was going to do, but Chen Jian was very familiar with this action - this is the standard process of stepping on a dead cockroach!
Fortunately, the giant was very slow, and Chen Jian had time to explain the consequences to the madman: "He will trample you to death." ”
After hearing this, the madman fled from the foothold in a panic, and the fatigue that pressed on his body was suddenly swept away.
Before the giant could change direction, the fat paw of his foot slammed into the dirt, the trees in place turned to powder, the ground shook, and the madman's whole body was bounced up, and he rolled down the mountain forest with a scream, and hit the mountain wall headlong, his head sunken, leaving a crimson mark on the mountain wall.
It doesn't seem to be much different from stamping to death.
Chen Jian glanced at the madman with pity and hurriedly left him.
It's the opposite of the way up the hill. That is, under the attack of the giants, they self-defeatingly entered the depths of the country of the wind.
More giants appeared in Chen Jian's field of vision.
They heard something rolling down the hillside and looked at it curiously.
Chen Jian hurriedly twisted his short limbs and hid in the grass beside him, intending to observe what the giant would do with the madman's corpse.
"Hey-" a Yoyo voice came from overhead, "brave dwarf." ”
Chen Jian turned around and found that the voice was actually facing him! He broke out in a cold sweat and forced himself to raise his head and meet the eyes of the voice's owner.
The speaker was an equally tall giant, dressed more appropriately than the previous one, covering his body with leaves, like an upper class of giants.
The giant smiled, his thick black eyebrows curled into a pair of stars and moons, and he could feel that he wanted to express his cordiality, but such a size and this face added a little horror.
The giant bent down, put Chen Jian in the palm of his hand, and then lifted him to a position parallel to his gaze.
The loud voice was like a burst of spring thunder, rumbling in Chen Jian's ears: "My name is Wang Zhili, and I am the most rational giant in the Fengfeng Country, and the Yellow Emperor once called me so. ”
Wang Zhili held Chen Jian up, and soon attracted the attention of the other giants, who no longer played with the crazy man whose body was flattened, but came to Wang Zhili's side and commented on Chen Jian. The giants didn't speak human language, it just buzzed to him.
"You were the first to arrive here, and after the death of the Yellow Emperor, there is no one as brave as you. Wang Zhili said word by word. He hadn't communicated with humans for a long time, and his language was rather rusty, but it was sufficient.
"Really?" Chen Jian pretended to be calm.
Crookedly, it seems to have won the respect of the giants. He asked Wang Zhili with great momentum: "You are the people of the Fengfeng clan?"
"That's right. Wang Zhili nodded, "What are the warriors doing when they come to the Wind Country?"
It seems that the giant is quite straightforward.
Chen Jian got straight to the point and said, "I want to ask you to help me dig a pit." ”
"No, I can't. ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhili said these two words.
Chen Jian suspected that this guy had already been prepared, and he didn't plan to help him at all. But the giant doesn't seem to be a joke character, why is Wang Zhili so decisive?
The giant immediately gave the reason: "The Windproof Clan, can't leave the Windbreaker Country. ”
"Why? Didn't you follow the Yellow Emperor back then?"
"It's because of the Yellow Emperor that we can't leave the country of Fengfeng. His tone was unconventional, and he took the trouble to repeat what he had just said.
Wang Zhili basically didn't say useful information, causing Chen Jian to not know how to ask.
He had no choice but to continue to say the most almighty three words: "Why?"
"Because the Yellow Emperor killed Kui, we can't leave the country of Fengfeng. Wang Zhili replied.
Be sure to ask all the questions in one go, otherwise the conversation will take a long time. Chen Jian finally saw through this, he took a full breath and threw out all the questions: "What is Kui? Is Kui your clansman? Why can't you leave the Fengfeng Country if you kill Kui? Why did the Yellow Emperor kill Kui?"
Chen Jian hadn't thought of other questions for the time being, but these were enough for the giant to answer for a long time.
"Kui is a divine beast that controls the wind and rain, whenever Kui comes, it will rain heavily in the country of Fengfeng, and the country of Fengfeng will no longer be hot, and the Fengfeng clan will not die of thirst due to lack of water. ”
It took a lot of Wang Zhili's brain power to say a paragraph, and he continued after a short pause:
"In order to fight with the interesting country of birds, the Yellow Emperor killed Kui, and made a thunder drum with Kui's skin, only by beating the thunder drum, it would rain in the country of Fengfeng, and he let the Fangfeng clan go to the battlefield for the war. Now that the Yellow Emperor is dead, the thunder drum is still in the Yellow Emperor Mountain, Kui is dead, there is no wind and no rain in the country of Fengfeng, the Fangfeng clan cannot travel far, and the Fangfeng clan will die of thirst if they travel far away, and the Fangfeng clan does not want to be dyed of thirst. ”
Chen Jian couldn't help but admire the question he came up with, and let Wang Zhili fluently express the cause and effect of the whole thing.
It turned out that the country of Fengfeng was so hot, it was actually thanks to the Yellow Emperor, Chen Jian asked: "As long as you beat the thunder drum, the country of Fengfeng can rain, right?"
"That's right," Wang Zhili nodded heavily, and the heat wave rushed towards him, "If the warriors can bring the thunder drum to the Windproof Country, the Windbreaker Clan will be willing to dig a pit with the warriors." ”
"Where is the Yellow Emperor Mountain?"
"I know!" the madman climbed onto Wang Zhili's palm at some point.
