Verse 199: The Forest
The early autumn breeze blows through the woods, mixed with a faint smell of earth, awakening Norman from the endless darkness.
His eyelids twinked twice, and gradually opened, revealing the endless blue sky and the occasional flash of tall branches overhead.
Unlike the delicate trees of Cárdenas and Francis, the branches that occasionally flashed above his head were thick and thick, like children's arms, and the leaves on them were scattered and golden in early autumn, and some would fall as he passed, leaving the branches, whirling, dancing beautifully against the background of the clear blue sky and golden sun.
After a moment's pause, Norman came to his senses.
He felt as weak as he had been before he fell unconscious, and he couldn't muster any strength, and at the same time he found that his chest, thighs and other parts were firmly bound by ropes, and under him was a soft straw mat, and I don't know what kind of creature was carrying him forward.
With his body tied up and down, Norman couldn't get up, so he could only turn his head to see what was under him, but all he saw was the yellow weeds, and then there were trees, weeds, etc., and he couldn't see what was underneath him.
Where was this? Who tied him up? He just remembered that the earth suddenly went into darkness, and then he didn't remember anything.
"Awake?"
A voice rang out.
Because he had just fought with the owner of this voice, Norman recognized it at once, this was Chen Qinghe's voice, which shocked him.
Almost instantly, Chen Qinghe's face appeared above his head.
Norman clearly remembers how he scolded Chen Qinghe before he fell into a coma, Chen Qinghe was so angry that his face was distorted, but now he seems to have fallen into the hands of the other party?!
This made Norman very frightened, but he saw that Chen Qinghe was still as elegant and clear as he had seen before, his expression was calm, and his face was not hideously distorted.
At this moment, the animal beneath Norman also stopped, accompanied by a "moo" sound, a bit like the cry of a cow, but much thicker and very gentle to hear.
"Are you afraid?"
Chen Qinghe seemed to see Norman's thoughts, and smiled, "Don't worry, I don't plan to kill you for the time being." ”
Judging from the previous analysis of the Knights Templar, Chen Qinghe was an extremely arrogant person, with strong dragon self-discipline, and the credibility of what he said was still very high, so Norman was a little relieved to hear him say this.
"Come down and rest. ”
Chen Qinghe said, his face moved away from the sky above Norman's head, and after a while, Norman felt that he was steadily rising into the air, and then fell to the ground at an even speed, and finally saw that it was Chen Qinghe who held the stretcher under him with one hand and untied himself.
A middle-aged man with a somewhat thin body is holding a stretcher in one hand so lightly, and there is a burly man lying on the stretcher, how awkward it looks, but it is clear that the other party is a dragon.
After putting Norman on the ground, Chen Qinghe came up again to untie the rope on Norman's body, and finally Norman sat up with his body supported and saw the surrounding scene.
They were now in a wood, surrounded by tall, stout trees that he had never seen before.
At the beginning of autumn, this forest seems to be in late autumn, and the golden leaves are all over the ground, covered with a thin layer, but not paved, and patches of black soil can be seen through the gaps in the fallen leaves.
Norman, the animal he had been carrying before, was also seen, a reptile, the size of three horses, huge in size, with short and stout limbs, a long conical tail, the beginning of which was the size of a torso, and the lower it was back, and at the end of the tail was the shape of a hook, which swept haphazardly across the ground.
The monster's head was not like a horse, it resembled a lizard, but it was much larger, and its entire head was covered with a thick layer of hard armor, and there were lumpy protrusions on its head, like a hill.
"Moo"
The monster screamed again, shook its head, looked left and right, and then went to the side and nibbled on the thick weeds.
This is a hard-armored earth dragon, which, like the earth spiny dragon, belongs to the earth dragon class.
Although he had never seen him, Norman recognized some of the physical characteristics of the other party, and he had read a lot of books when he was in Nicaro before.
"Do you want to drink water?"
Chen Qinghe spoke on the side, drawing Norman's attention to the past.
Chen Qinghe didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Norman realized that his throat was very dry, like a cracked land that had dried up for more than half a year, so he nodded quickly, and then, the air in front of him moved, and after squirming, a ball of clear water appeared in front of him.
Therefore, it is good to say that the Dharma master does not need to bring water when you go out.
Norman thought about it, leaned his head over, opened his mouth wide and began to eat the water, and after a few large sips he had eaten the lump of water to the end, and then stopped, and let out a long breath.
Much more comfortable.
"You're much weaker than I thought,"
At this time, Chen Qinghe, who was on the side, spoke again, "I took a look, your body is very bad, if it were a normal human being in your state, you would have died a long time ago, but you are still alive, and you are slowly recovering, which really surprises me." ”
Norman listened and suddenly found one thing: Chen Qinghe spoke all ancient languages, but his words were no longer all half-literal and unspoken as before, and they had become completely vernacular.
"What you say ......"
Chen Qinghe smiled and said, "I was deeply impressed by your previous scolding, and now I know that speaking ancient languages in your human way can still have such power, so I am studying and exploring the mysteries." As he spoke, Chen Qinghe suddenly remembered something and took out something and held it in front of him.
"It's yours, right?"
Norman's eyes instantly stiffened when he heard this.
I saw that what Chen Qinghe was holding in his hand was his "Heart Sutra of Catching the Sea"!
Norman watched in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment, his heart was beating faster and puffing.
From Bunier's mouth, he knew that the "Heart Sutra of Catching the Sea" is one of the three major heart sutras, the treasure of the sea clan, of infinite value, and it is also a great secret for him, and it was discovered by Chen Qinghe...... According to the normal routine, Chen Qinghe should kill people and fly away with good things, this is the ideological routine that the Knights Templar instill in him every day.
He just saw Chen Qinghe give him water to drink, and he said kind words to him, and thought that he was safe for the time being, but he didn't expect to be killed immediately!
Guilty of it...... 10
