Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Nine-Horned Elk
There was nothing to say, and the ground was covered with rotten fallen leaves of different shades, and there were small swamps in many places, and the deeper you went, the more humid the air became, as if you could wring out water. Although the trees are dead, the intertwined branches still block the moonlight. At this point, the moonlight was completely gone, and only the horns of the deer god shone brightly. Together with its fluff, it is shiny and quiet, even if the road is difficult, it makes people feel very calm.
Du Yuanyuan thought, the people behind him must also feel the same way, even if there is a sea of fire and knife mountain in front of them at this moment, as long as the deer god is leading the way, they will follow without hesitation, what kind of confidence and belief is this. After passing through the dense woodland, the scenery ahead changes abruptly. There was a faint sound of water waves, and I was surprised that there was a stream in this lifeless forest.
At this time, the deer god Dye also quickened his pace, and the wizard behind him beckoned to the people, "Keep up, keep up, slow down, don't disturb the gods here." ”
Are there any gods here? Du Yuanyuan was confused, looked at Wei Ran, and his gaze happened to be together, and then the deer god raised his head to look at the dead branches of the towering ancient trees above his head, and the next second, Xiao Du Tong's shoes shivered firmly, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and made sure that it was not his own eyes, only to see a small white object squatting on the Y-shaped branches, the head is triangular, the body is oval, stacked together like stones, and the triangular head is still rotating at three hundred and sixty degrees without dead ends, making a rattling sound, like the sound of an alarm watch. This little thing has only one eye, and it is black like a bamboo leaf across its face.
"W-what the hell is this?" Du Yuanyuan couldn't help but blurt out.
The deer god shook the fluff on his back, passed it lightly, and walked towards the depths. Du Yuanyuan looked back at the people, obviously they couldn't see it. At this moment, the little white Dongdong stopped spinning his head and made a strange sound, and in an instant, countless identical faces appeared one after another on the staggered branches, and Du Yuan's heart was numb and crispy when he saw it.
Thankfully, there were no dense phobias, he said secretly, but these little things were not meant to hurt, they spun their heads in unison, and made a melody that was not pleasant to the ear. Bang, rattle, like a clockwork. Could this be the god that the wizard spoke of? Du Yuanyuan looked at the overwhelming little Bai Dongdong, and couldn't help but sigh at the mystery of all things in nature. They spread all the way, as if to lead the way for the deer god. After passing through the last bushes, the clouds finally cleared the clouds, and there was no cave.
A tranquil lake, leisurely and rippling, with the sound of murmuring water. Every pebble was visible to the bottom of the lake, and in the middle of the lake was an island with a withered tree in the shape of an umbrella cover. At that time, it was the people behind him who shouted in unison, "Kamishima has arrived!" "Recite a prayer in succession. The deer god waded through the water and headed towards the island in the middle of the lake, Du Yuanyuan followed closely, and those people also wanted to come, but they were stopped by the wizard and said, "The god island is the land of the deer god, we must not be disturbed, and we are waiting here." ”
The people obediently guarded the shore, watching the deer god step across the lake, Du Yuan followed step by step, the water waves were cool, flowing through his more and more transparent body, Wei Ran walked lightly and steadily, as he got closer and closer to the center of the lake, the water gradually became deeper, not over the back of the elk, immersed in the position of Du Yuan's ribs, and it was still getting deeper and deeper. In the end, the deer god was completely submerged in the lake, only the antlers were exposed, and the water waves also rippled to the position of Du Yuan's shoulder, and Wei ran under the water, breathing freely, and after a certain distance, it became shallow again, until he came ashore and came to the island.
Looking back, the people and the wizards were all looking at this side with hopeful eyes, and they were still talking about something, but the distance was so far away that they couldn't really hear it, but they could only see their mouths moving.
At that time, the deer god shook the water droplets on his body, and said to Du Yuanyuan, "What you saw just now is the wood spirit, the spirit who guards this forest." ”
"You're finally talking, suffocating me." Du Yuan sighed.
"How can I say it now, for fear of frightening the people." Wei Ran said, then looked at the umbrella-shaped tree and said, "If you want to rejuvenate this forest, you must first bring this spirit tree back to life. ”
The spirit tree is not tall, only one person high, but the branches are intricately and intricately, and now they are withered, and the cobweb-like branches are hooked together, and they are murmuring, as if they are covered with nerve veins under an umbrella. Du Yuanyuan reached out and stroked those branches, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Wei Ran smiled faintly, and the delicate fawn's mouth hooked a shallow bend, "Haven't you always wanted to see the orb of this god, you can see it in an instant." ”
Du Yuanyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he waited with bated breath for the river god's next move.
Overhead, a piece of moonlight fell on the clear surface of the lake, and the people there were all looking forward to it. Also looking forward to it is Du Remote. I saw that the deer god Dye raised his head and looked at the night sky, his expression was very focused, as if he was observing the celestial phenomena, and then he took two steps back and stood still.
Du asked tentatively, "Do you want me to go back?" ”
"No, just stand where you are, don't make a sound." The deer god moved his little black nose and breathed in the aura between heaven and earth, and then he saw the coral-shaped nine-horned light shining more and more, brighter than the moonlight, as dazzling as a diamond. Du Yuanyuan was surprised and couldn't take his eyes off it, and gradually, in that shining light, a pearl rose, exuding a pale golden luster, like the rising sun slowly rising on the surface of the sparkling sea. This is the Divine Pearl? He thought to himself.
