Chapter 30: Magical Creatures

Beigong Han poured an antidote pill into his mouth, this strange aroma, as tempting and deadly as a poppy, really made people have to guard against it. He walked slowly towards the depths of the forest, and was astonished to find that the grass under his feet had grown up straight, and grew rapidly, and soon reached his calves.

Beigong Han raised his eyebrows: Are all the creatures here aura? Grow so fast! At this rate, the grass must not grow to the sky? Why is there only a little bit of what he saw when he came...... Suddenly, he felt a slight itch in his fingers, and when he looked down, he saw that the grass that was still in his calf had grown to his thighs. If there was still some freshness before, but now it has completely disappeared, a trace of coolness sprouts in the bottom of my heart: I didn't expect it to grow so fast, and in less than a cup of tea, I may have been buried, this is not for fun. He strode forward, hoping to find a place on high ground.

Just as the grass had grown above his waist, the trees in front of him thinned out, revealing a waterhole. On the other side of the waterhole is black soil. He paused and looked into the pool.

The water is truly crystal clear, and in the dim light, it also emits a faint silver glow. He could see countless small black fish swimming slowly in the water, groups in groups, like churning black waves, extremely spectacular and beautiful.

Listen to the water pavilion, floating wooden bridge.

"Shang Jin, what are you asking me to come out for?"

"I have something for you." Shang Jin held his hands behind his back, his index finger and thumb rubbing the smooth surface of the porcelain bottle repeatedly. The sweat oozing from his palms revealed his nervousness at this time.

"Huh? What the? Mu Ningjiu turned his head to look at him. With his own shadow reflected in his sparkling starry eyes, Shang Jin was stunned, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Mu Ningjiu just looked at it, but her heartstrings were uncontrollably pulled. She was stunned and felt her strange mood, not knowing why.

"Well, this." Shang Jin spread out his palm, and a blue-glazed porcelain vase lay quietly in the palm of his hand, at this time, the cold moonlight shone on it, inlaid it with a faint silver edge, like a holy thing, not to be desecrated. Mu Ningjiu looked at the small porcelain vase, and the tension and expectation in Shang Jin's eyes that could not be concealed, the ghost reached out and took it.

Suddenly, layers of brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, one after another, shining on Shang Jin's pupils, becoming more and more dazzling. He withdrew his hand, quietly looked at the girl in front of him, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and smiled slowly. In an instant, the fireworks in the night sky were eclipsed by this smile.

......

Beigong Han looked at the black and shiny fish in the pool water, then picked up a palm-sized stone from the shore and threw it into it. A strange thing happened: as soon as the stone touched the water, it shrank rapidly, and the black waves, which had been slowly tumbling, began to compete with each other one after another, and soon completely engulfed the stone. However, the frequency of fish movement has not decreased at all, but has become faster and faster. Finally, it has reached a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye.

With a "bang", a small red fish jumped out of the water, followed by two and three...... They are small, but they have barbed mouths and razor-sharp teeth. They jump in and out of the pool, as if expecting something. Under the light of the twilight, the scales that emitted a dazzling red light returned to their original pure black the moment they jumped into the water. Beigong Han felt a chill in his heart: What kind of monster are these? Even stones? There was a tingling and itching sensation on the back of his neck, and when he touched it, the tentacles were slender and long—I don't know when, the grass had grown to the neck, and if I delayed it any longer, let alone get lost, I was suffocated to death first by virtue of this airtight growth method.

The waterhole is surrounded by green mountains, and the plants on the mountain are all strange, all of which are varieties that have never been seen before, but it makes him wary for no reason. His last hope of going around the mountain vanished without a trace.

He wandered on the shore for a long time, but could not find a stone again. The time it takes to cross the pool is not too short, and if you can't control how often the fish jump out of the water, you won't be able to get out. A fish may not be a problem, but if it is a group, the iron King Kong will be eaten up a little bit, and it will consume all its strength. Thinking about it, he took out a piece of rice cake from the package, twisted a small piece and threw it into the lake, and saw the black waves stop for a moment, and then tumble violently. Seeing this, he brushed aside the grass that had just grown two inches in front of his face, and swept forward without saying a word.

Along the way, he lifted the light gong while breaking off a small piece of rice cake with his hand and threw it into the pool. The fish in the pool were quiet for a moment when the rice cakes were thrown in, but the next second they gushed out of the water like waves, clinging to him, and if they paused, they would be surrounded by the rising red waves. At this time, in addition to the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the grass, only the sound of the fish entering the water is left, like a jade bead falling on a plate, densely turned, interwoven into a treacherous small song.

Stepping on the last stone, stepping on the soft earth, settling down, his heart lifted suddenly let go. Suddenly, I felt a tingling pain between my fingers, as if something was dripping. He looked at the index finger with a long gap, and a burst of red welled up. He looked for something to bandage, and caught a glimpse of the muddy bank by the pool, the strange fish before, with a trace of blood hanging on its sharp teeth, jumping up and down violently, and the blood-red scales reflected the light. It seemed to smell blood, and thousands of red fish in the pool behind him suddenly jumped up, and their sharp teeth made a "click" sound, which made people can't help but stand on end.

Beigong Han wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with palpitations: This fish is fierce enough, and it hasn't eaten for a long time. Whew, fortunately, I got the right time, otherwise it would really become their meal.

By this time, the sunlight in the forest had completely disappeared. The surroundings were extremely quiet, the silver moonlight flowed like water, lined with the thin fog that existed all the time over the forest, and in the mystery, with a touch of coldness, no one dared to easily indulge in this scene. The land is bare and lifeless.

As he walked, a towering tree blocked the way. He looked up, and saw that every other foot or so, there was a branch branching off, and the branch was in the shape of a flat umbrella, and the surroundings were slightly gathered inward like a boat, but there was still a gap for the moonlight to shine into. He leaned in, but there was still no end of the forest as far as the eye could see, and decided to rest there for the night. Stepping on the branched branches, one step at a time, he climbed to the branch two feet above the ground, and the edge opened slightly as if it were sensitive, forming a width large enough for one person to pass through. After he lay flat, he slowly closed again, forming a sealed space. He closed his eyes and marveled at the wonder of the creatures here, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the unknown darkness, lurking magical creatures, in the middle of the night, quietly approaching.

The halo, thin and thin, falls on the face, and the warmth melts. Beigong Han yawned, and saw that there were many regular round holes on the thick trunk, and if you looked at its edges carefully, there seemed to be traces of teeth biting. He got up, but he didn't find the package he was carrying, and he was shocked: strange, how did he put it by his side yesterday...... The sound of "tuk tuk" came from overhead, which stood out in the silence of the forest. On a thin twig above, a fluffy lump of flesh was nibbling on something. Its fur is white and snow-colored, its belly is light gray, its ears are large and round, and its tail hair is fluffy. A pair of eyes the size of a bean grain rolled slightly, tilting their heads to look at him curiously. Mouse? It's not quite like it, the mouse is not as cute and cute as it, so what is it?

At this moment, the little thing "squeaked", jumped into the hole with a puff of smoke, and quickly grabbed a white porcelain bottle in his hand. Beigong Han was stunned, huh? Isn't this the elixir given by my father in my package? One grain is worth a thousand gold, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of this little thing, this small appearance, it looks quite clever. As if to confirm his conjecture, the little guy held the bottle with one paw, and went to scoop up the pills in the bottle with one paw like a human, and then held it with both hands, and divided it by two and then went down.

As if knowing the delicacy of this pill, its eyes sparkled, and it ate three more pills in succession like chewing jelly beans, and then rubbed its stomach contentedly, and sat on the trunk of a tree, holding its paws together and placing it on its bulging belly.

!! Beigong Han is really angry, he is the dignified prince of Di Kingdom, and today he was actually stolen by such a small thing, and he can't get it back...... Speaking of it, it's really a big topic to talk about, ashamed, ashamed. When I get the package back, I will definitely repair this guy. A hint of coldness flashed in his ink eyes, and the little guy above saw it and shrunk his neck, but unexpectedly, his center of gravity was unstable and fell down rapidly. Beigong Han's eyes were quick, his left hand caught the bottle that fell together, and his right hand grabbed its tail to stop its falling trend.

He hatefully stuffed the only pill left into his coat, and placed the initiator who had scared half of his life on the trunk of the tree. Its eyes were still closed, and it was squeaking and screaming, its claws waving at its chest. Beigong Han couldn't cry or laugh: I had the courage to rob my things, but I didn't have the courage to bear the consequences. Tsk, timid guy. So he said, "Don't howl, you're still alive." The little guy opened his big eyes as if he understood, looked around, and when he came into contact with Beigong Han's smiling gaze, he suddenly covered his eyes with his paws, and his ears drooped, with a look of shame and embarrassment. Beigong Han had never seen such rich emotions in an animal, and he thought it was really interesting. He hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "You have eaten my most expensive pill, how do you want to pay for it?" ”

It was stunned when it heard this, looked at its beautiful tail firmly held down by its big hand, and stomped its paws uneasily, its pure black eyes shining with water, as if apologizing.

"How about you want me to say, firstly, return my package, and secondly, you show me the way until you get out of the psychedelic forest?"
