Chapter 6: The Moon Beast
"There's something wrong with that pea seedling, there's something wrong with that jack. Jasmine affirmed.
"That's for sure, now it's a matter of what the problem is. Lu Li watched as another group of people walked towards Jack's house.
"Something is wrong. Mondstadt suddenly said, "This place is not habitable at all, how can anyone build a farmhouse here?"
"Wait and see. Lu Li said, and they came to a hillside in the distance to look at the situation of the farmhouse.
Slowly, a large number of people came from afar, but each time, Jack, who had climbed up to the clouds, would slide down from the pea seedlings and say the same thing, usually with a castle on it, an innumerable number of gold coins, a hen that lays golden eggs, a harp that can play automatically, and a terrible giant.
The lilac pea blossoms shimmered with a sparkling light, and they sprayed no one to know how much pollen they spewed, and those who walked into the yard of the farmhouse would climb up the pea seedlings according to Jack's description, and then they were never heard from again.
Gradually, no one else came, and the pea seedling, which seemed to connect the heavens and the earth, suddenly disappeared into a puff of dust, and so did the whole farmhouse, leaving only a huge hole in its place, and an old woman with an axe and a sad face on her face.
The next moment, a huge monster crawled out of the huge hole, this monster was like a skinned toad, the general color of the whole body was gray-white, there were some bumps on the back, and the most terrifying thing was its head.
The monster had no eyes or anything like that, and only a bunch of short, wriggling pink tentacles on their faces, and some blood on them, before the monster came up to the old woman and let out a strange scream.
"Give me back my son, it's better to let him continue to deceive. The old woman cried out bitterly, and slashed directly at the monster with the axe in her hand, but then the monster clung to the ground.
Then the monster's body squirmed, and it came to the big hole, spitting out a large amount of bones, and its body shrunk a lot, becoming only a little taller than a normal person.
"Mom, you're really joking, aren't I your son?" said the monster happily, and then vomited a large lump of flesh that had been half corroded by gastric juice, and put it in front of the old woman, "Come on, Mommy, eat." ”
"I don't eat, I don't eat. "It's just that the old woman is not old and weak, and there is a monster that can resist it, and the monster holds the old woman with one hand, and with the other hand stuffs the piece of meat into the old woman's mouth, no matter how many times he spits it out, he keeps stuffing it.
"Today's mother is still not well-behaved, and it took so long to eat. The monster let go of the old woman, ran back into the pit, and brought out a strange big box, and then it took the big box with it, and walked with the old woman to the other side.
"What a disgusting monster, so that pea seedling is fake, just a trap for this monster to prey?"
"This monster is a bit like a moon beast, but it has some habits that aren't quite right. Lu Li muttered that when he became a dream wizard in the Theseus Magic Society, Alice also told Lu Li about some fantasy dream monsters, one of which was called the Moon Beast.
The Lunama are a highly intelligent race that inhabit the dark side of the Dream Moon, the Lunama feed only on living creatures, and they like to enslave large numbers of other races and are keen to spend their time torturing them.
Among them, the favorite slaves of the moon beast are still humans, and the moon beasts also have a variety of black technology, and will also use various black technologies to expand their territory, they are a sadistic race.
And the monster in front of him is indeed a moon beast from the appearance alone, and the habit of abusing creatures is also undoubtedly revealed in the feeding just now, but this monster actually calls the old woman its mother, and it is a little strange that it has not developed a large number of slaves.
Lu Li and they quietly followed the monster, this monster walked for most of the day, and after seeing traces of human activity, it stopped, took out a strange-shaped tool from the big box, and after a while, dug a huge hole in the ground.
Then the monster toiled in the burrow for a while, leaving only the old woman standing there with her axe, her eyes blank and her mouth seemed to be muttering something.
Then Lu Li and the others saw the tentacles on the monster's face squirm, revealing the mouth like a black hole inside, and those tentacles stretched out next to the pit, and gradually the monster's mouth continued to widen, covering the entire pit.
With a loud bang, a huge pea seedling rose into the sky, and then after reaching a certain position, a large amount of white mist was released, forming a cloud, and around the pothole, a farmhouse was formed again.
The old woman looked at the pea seedlings that were rising into the sky, and the boy who was lying on the pea seedlings, and shouted frantically: "Son, I don't want a cow, I won't beat you, don't climb this pea seedling, we don't want gold coins, we don't want a hen that lays golden eggs, we don't want a harp, let's cut it off." ”
But as the lilac flowers on the vine released pollen again, the old woman inhaled the pollen, her expression changed again, her eyes became irrelevant, and Jack jumped down from the tree again and said, "Mom, I can't let you do anything bad this time, it's better to control you early because you ran four people today." ”
After waiting for a while, another group of people came from afar, and one of them gasped and said, "Eh, why are the pea seedlings here, I should have been a long time since I saw it in the morning." ”
"Could it be that it can walk, you have been walking for a long time, your brain is confused, you are almost at your destination, let's hurry up and find a way to get some peas, when the time comes, we will grow such big peas, we will not have to worry about food and clothing." The other man, though he also felt a little strange, did not pay much attention to it, and rushed to the farmhouse with a happy face.
After a while, Jack tricked many people into "climbing" the pea seedlings, but in fact, they all fell into the stomach of the monster, and even if someone asked where the people who had arrived earlier had gone, Jack would say that they had gone up in advance to get the gold coins.
Later, under the temptation of gold coins and so on, they gradually became irrational because of inhaling some pollen, and they followed Jack to "climb" onto the pea seedlings.
Lu Li squinted his eyes, and from the old woman's words, he could know that her son Jack should have really exchanged a cow for a pea, and after being scolded by the old woman, he didn't know how to get this huge pea seedling, gold coins, hens that laid golden eggs, and a harp that played automatically should really exist.
It's just that something may have happened afterwards that caused Jack to turn into a moon beast, and also caused this tragedy to be staged.
