Chapter 8: The Candy House
The group walked along the trail towards the place where Wendigo had come, and then the old village chief also began to tell some things on the road, after all, giving a sweet date to a stick always has to give them a little motivation, and they can't keep crying and slacking off.
"I know you've heard that rumor has it that I stayed in the village to find the legendary candy house. The old village chief said happily: "And that rumor is true. ”
The old village chief's words made the other people's breathing a little heavy for a moment: "The candy house does exist, and I have seen it before. ”
"Who do you think put out the rumors about the candy house, it's all me. The old village chief seemed to want to vomit his calculations over the years, and some secret things were also said: "After all these years of exploration, I have finally determined the approximate location of the candy house again. ”
The old village chief showed a look of reminiscence, that year was his most embarrassed time, he was originally at the peak of his life, he was ousted from the throne by the people, so damn bitch, like betraying his parents, betrayed himself again.
The desperate old village chief fled into the forest, only to get into even more serious trouble, the rumored ogre Wendigo, and he broke into their territory and was imprisoned in captivity.
Although he had the help of that thing, summoned a helper, and managed to escape, he was then severely injured by Wendigo with mental power, and it was on that occasion that he saw the candy house and survived.
Until all these years, he has not given up on finding the candy house again, the last time he was seriously injured, he had to make a wish to have a healthy body, and then he lost consciousness and was thrown somewhere in the forest, before because of serious injuries, panicked, he did not know where the candy house was.
"This time, I must make a wish to obtain the power of revenge, not a wish to become the king of the world. The old village chief's eyes flickered, and he thought in his heart, just walking, he felt a little exhausted: "Maybe you should also make a wish for a young body." ”
"But this can be done slowly, first gain power, let me take back the kingdom, and then use the power of the kingdom to continue to find the candy house, no, I should kill the owner of the candy house and take the owner of the candy house for myself, just like this thing. ”
The old village chief stroked the lighter box in his hand, thinking about the past glory, and he was convinced that this time he would catch the fallen pie again, just like the previous three times, and this time he would not continue to make mistakes.
"It's here!" an exclamation woke the old village chief, and they followed the trail of Wendigo to the bottom of a cliff, from which a waterfall descended, and then flowed slowly and rapidly into the distance.
"There's a lot of fighting here, and it's here that Wendigo was badly injured and then chased all the way to where we found his bones. "There was a mess all around, and you could even see some scratches of sharp claws on some rocks and trees.
"Stand on top. Suddenly, a hunter said.
The hunter raised his head and looked at the cliff, and next to the waterfall there was a house that shone with colorful lights, and I don't know when it appeared there, and everyone who saw that house flashed the words "candy house" in their minds.
Bengil and Colanti also looked up, their eyes full of light, it was the rumored candy house, the candy house that could grant any wish, was now not far from them.
The door of the candy house was opened, and everyone's hearts were instantly raised, who would come out? The mysterious old witch with a hooked nose, or the angel with wings shining with white light?
Only contrary to their expectations, out came a strange young man, draped in a white robe with scales like white bones, and long waist-black hair, simply tied into a ponytail, hanging down behind him.
His face is only delicate, but a unique temperament makes him have an indescribable charm and looks very attractive.
The man was holding a strange umbrella, as if to keep all the sunlight out, and he seemed to be looking at the people below, making the breath of everyone below a little heavier, as if it was a great luck to be able to be glanced at by him.
Then the man withdrew his gaze and retreated to the candy house, and everyone's reason gradually returned, and the old village chief's face was very complicated, with fear and envy, as well as inferiority and madness.
"He's still so young, and the scales on that robe are getting bigger. The old village chief's eyes alternated between envy and fear, he envied the other party's immortal body, and feared the white robe on the other party's body, because it symbolized the other party's strength.
If you take the white scales off the robe and compare them with the Wendigo bones in the hunter's hand below, you will find that the two are similar, and the white scales will be of higher quality.
That's why every time the candy house appears, those Wendigo will attack the candy house like crazy, for Wendigo, as long as you get that robe, the bone chips on it are enough to make Wendigo evolve two or three times.
The old village chief knew that Wendigo was very good, he had a lighterbox back then, but he was only able to escape under the siege of Wendigo, and his body was fatally injured, but the other party was able to kill Wendigo again and again, and polished the white bones on his body into scales, and wore them on his body like honor.
This made the old village chief more eager to get the candy house while fearing the other party's power, and he believed that it was with the candy house that the other party would have that terrifying power.
"Look here, this is the boat. "A hunter made a discovery, and they were under the waterfall, and they found the improvised wooden boat that had been used to transport the offerings, which they had made at will, and which had now been reduced to pieces under the waterfall.
"There's a road behind the falls, Bangil, and it's up to you to find the way. ”
Behind the old chief's group, there was also a group of well-equipped soldiers, escorting a sedan chair, towards the old chief, and next to the palanquin there was a woman with a panicked face on her face, who was none other than their mother in Bangil.
Inside the sedan chair, there is a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman, just look closely, you will find the old wrinkles under the other party's makeup, she is no longer young, and she has become an old woman, and even her control over the country is not high, otherwise there will be more than that.
"Is that Qiu Ba really in the forest? his lighter, and the rumors of the candy house circulating here, sure enough, that guy will be my gospel. The old woman laughed heartily, very weird and terrifying.
"The people are finally together, and hopefully this time it will be successful. Lu Li shook off the white bone scale robe on his body, thinking with some expectation. The third watch, I have something to do tonight, so the fourth watch will be tomorrow.
