Takaya suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wise snake, you must know this forest well, and you must have seen some strange monkeys......"

After the description of the night, the Vornabi snake said: "At the end of this river there is a great smoky mountain, I call it Zuke (Zuke means monkey) I can take you there, because you are going out of the Fantasy Forest and you are passing by there." ”

Along the way they encountered a number of sea beasts, including a fish that resembled a fluttering silver ribbon and a red fin with a body longer than that of a snake, which Ektrova actually knew.

"This is Brunhilti, which means water dragon messenger, and later became known as the paddle fish. ”

After seven days of drifting, they came to a wide expanse of water, where the current was fast, and the water swirled around a towering mountain in a U-shape to the north of the fantasy forest.

As the Wonaby snake said, this is the confluence of two rivers, both of which have their sources from the ancient Qinhai Sea.

"This mountain is Zuke," said the Wonabi serpent, "and when you come ashore you will go south out of the Fantasy Forest, and I can only send you here." ”

Then the Wonabi snake turned around and swam back.

Looking at the straight Great Smoky Mountains, the fog is steaming and the smoke is shrouded.

"This mountain can only be climbed by goshawks, where are you sure you are going?"

Taya didn't answer him, and his eyes were fixed on the distance, for he saw a group of monkeys playing in the water, which might be the strange monkeys that Aram had spoken of.

According to the Wonaby Snake, this is a water monkey also called a water lion ghost.

They look like a bunch of children, but with longer arms, sharp toenails like eagle claws, and a bunch of blood-drinking creatures.

Their usual practice is to hide under the water, scratch the soles of their feet with sharp claws, and suck the blood from the bodies of humans and beasts.

The group of monkeys suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, and Ta Ye had a premonition that something was wrong, and he said to Ektrova: "You go on and attract the attention of these monkeys, and I will ascend the Great Smoky Mountains from the other side." ”

The water nature of the night is very average, but he has the strength to hold on to a floating tree trunk......

The monster hunters were besieged by the water lion ghosts, and after being bitten to death by the monster hunters, these guys became smarter, burrowing behind the monster hunters, under their abdomen, and only sneaking up with their claws.

The Monster Hunter's tough skin and long fur can block its sharp claws, but it also has a soft underbelly, which is the abdomen, and these guys are so dexterous that Ektrova's sword can't reach there, so the Monster Hunter can only swim to the shore.

Ektrova climbed up the hill with his hands and feet, sometimes having to throw his knife into a rock crevice, climb up with the help of a rope on the hilt, and annoyingly encountered several water monkeys throwing stones at him along the way.

He could only dodge while continuing to climb up, feeling that his body was blue and purple, and he couldn't see these monkeys anymore.

He didn't dare to look down because the running water would make him dizzy.

The hill was shrouded in mist, and a cloud of mist shrouded it.

He wasn't sure what he was looking for would be here, because it was bare, with only a lonely mound.

Sitting on the mound for a moment's rest, he rose to his feet in disappointment to leave, thinking to himself that he might have caught a water monkey, but what could they tell him? They couldn't have spoken like a Wonaby snake.

But there must be a reason why the water lion ghost guards Zuke Mountain?

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, the mound he had just sat on did not look like a natural formation, it was probably a tomb, and he had heard of a custom - sky burial.

Who is buried on the top of this deserted mountain?!

Doubts rise sharply during the night.

Digging through the mound with a knife, he felt a little dirty, but curiosity prompted him to do so.

A burial tunnel appeared under the mound, and sure enough, it was a tomb.

A deep voice came from inside, and he couldn't help but feel creepy when he heard this voice, and he clenched the wood knife in his hand tightly.

The cave was dark, damp, and smelled unpleasant.

It may be the sound of a digging beast, but will there be a waffling rat or something like that?

There were several badly corroded tables and chairs in the dimly lit burial chamber, which collapsed with a slight touch, giving him a glimpse of the horrific scene behind the table.

A man buried alive in the ground, with only the head and forelimbs exposed.

The burial chamber was immediately filled with an eerie feeling.

When Tnight saw the face clearly, he almost fled, for it was not a human face, and it was uglier than the grim face of the Bone Helmet Leader.

This strange man has a strange appearance, his face is covered with black fluff, he has the beak of a large bird, and his bare arms are more like human hands than hairy.

The horns were full of fish bones, all kinds of husks, all exuding a foul smell, and there was a fist-sized vent on the top of the strange man's head, and needless to say, these fish, shrimp and fruits were transmitted through this vent, and the dim light and shadow cast from it reflected this terrifying face.

Standing still, he stared at the strange man.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a monster, I'm an Aurora!" the monster said.

Tnight didn't believe the Aurora people who looked like this, and he felt his voice tremble a little.

"Why are you buried here?!"

It turned out that this man's name was Geronimo, who once lived in the Flood Continent, and his story was both tortuous and sad.

In a tribe of the Aurora people in the Flood Continent lives a beautiful girl who often goes to the grassland to dig bracken, red mushrooms, and pick up earth ears, and every time she goes, she sings beautiful songs.

On this day, a crow "Ah...... ......Interrupting her beautiful singing, she picked up a rock and went to the crow, who could speak the words of the Aurora.

"Don't fight, I'm learning you to sing!"

A talking crow, much to the surprise and surprise of Mercy.

Later, the crow often followed her, and became her friend, and the crow would land on her shoulder to chat with her, and she felt that the crow's cry was not so unpleasant.

On this day, she found red berries in the meadow, the kind she had never seen before.

Then the crow said, "This berry can make people blush forever, eat it!"

After eating the berries, she felt her face burn and became confused, and in a trance she saw that the crow had turned into a slender man in black.

The man made out with her, and I don't know why she couldn't resist......

When she woke up, she realized what had happened, and she ran back in a panic.

From then on, she did not dare to go out alone, but her belly gradually bulged, and in the end she could no longer hide it, so she had to flee the tribe of the Aurora and live alone in the woods.

A few months later, she gave birth to a baby.

The strange appearance of the baby, after the sad dream tried to throw him away, but in the end chose to raise him.

That kid was Geronimo.
