Chapter 147: Return to the present world
After three years of waiting and practicing, Nebula has been struggling inside, sometimes fantasizing about being able to return to the human world, and sometimes fearing that he will never be able to go back.
In contrast, the night has always been peaceful, after all, more than 2,000 years have long since smoothed out all his thirst for hope.
But the reappearance of the Roc completely disrupted their thoughts. Nebula felt a little tearful in his eyes, and even the night, which had been peaceful, showed a rare expression of excitement.
They didn't say anything between them, and after making sure they saw him, Roc turned and flew away. It flew slowly, stopping at other times, as if waiting for something. Night instantly understood, and said to Nebula, "Follow it." ”
Roc took them back to the place where the battle had been fought three years ago, and although after three years of changes, the traces of destruction in this place were still obvious, but the cracked ravines were also overgrown with weeds and many low shrubs.
The Roc landed and stood in front of them, pecking at the dirt on the ground with its long beak, and then stared at the two of them with its eyes rolled in its bones.
"Dig. When Nebula was still in a fog, Ye shouted in a low voice, "Gather the scorpions, maybe they will dig deep." ”
Nebula conjured up a scorpion tail thorn and stuck it shallowly into the ground, pressing the palm of his hand on it, urging the power. With the scorpion tail thorn as the center, a huge circular light array appeared on the ground, slowly rotating, and after a while, many large scorpions rushed over. They followed Nebula's instructions and began to dig into the ground.
After digging for a long time, a bottomless pit has been dug out, but the so-called pit has not been found. Nebula looked at the night, unable to see what was going on in his mind, his expression was calm and did not seem to be anxious at all. But in his heart, is he really not in a hurry at all?
Xingyun looked at Dapeng again, its eyes were rolling bonelessly, and it happened to look at him at this moment, looking at each other, Xingyun felt a strange movement in his heart, and his whole body strength was like a calm sea suddenly being blown by a hurricane, so startled that he hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again.
At this time, Dapeng suddenly moved. It bent over, stretched its head to the entrance of the cave, looked down, and suddenly let out a chirp, and Night and Nebula were so shocked that they flew up and fell directly to the ground, although they were not too seriously injured, but they subconsciously realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, the sound came down layer by layer, and the scorpions that were digging in the dense crowd below were almost unprepared, all of them were shattered by the sound, and as they died, a large amount of power lost its carrier, pouring out, and surging up along the pit.
The Roc let out another chirp and slammed the forces downward, and then it took a few steps back with a "thump".
Seeing this, both Night and Nebula realized that danger was coming, and hurriedly conjured up defenses to protect themselves.
There was a dull thud from the depths of the earth, as if some huge beast was about to burst out, and a moment later, a sky full of dirt and dust rose from the hole.
When the dust settles, the surface of the pit seems to be flashing with a colorful mysterious glow, like a sparkling lake under the sun, which is wonderful.
Night and nebula swooped down at the same time, and they saw the glow shining up from the bottom of the pit, which was wonderful. The two of them were almost so fascinated that they lost their hearts.
The Roc screamed at the right time to wake them up. Both of them felt a little frightened, it turned out that this light could capture people's souls, make people lose their nature unconsciously, and finally die in it after jumping into it.
"Is this the passage connecting the two sides?" Xingyun asked suspiciously, although he was asking at the night, but he was asking Dapeng, after all, this is currently only known to Dapeng, and the night is definitely not sure, "If it is, we will go on like this, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not get lost in it, and the chance of being able to successfully pass is much smaller, right?"
He thought a lot, if this is the connection point between this world and the human world, then he and Ye have been here more than once in the past three years, but he has never seen a divine beast leave here. And they had hardly ever seen the beasts that had become holy knights, so had none of those beasts ever returned?
After meditating for a while, he suddenly said: "Gather another scorpion, a bigger one, I think, the divine beast should not be taken away by this light, then we hide in the scorpion's mouth, let the scorpion follow Dapeng, and we can pass." ”
Although he didn't know if this method was feasible, Nebula was overjoyed and summoned a large scorpion again. This time, he was still a little worried, afraid that Dapeng would attack indiscriminately regardless of the life and death of the scorpions, although he killed those scorpions before just to use their power to open the passage, he still couldn't accept it easily, after all, it was his current combat partner.
The scorpion was also a little timid when it saw the Roc, and walked around the road behind Nebula. After a few brief explanations to it, the scorpion opened its mouth wide, and Night and Nebula entered its mouth. At the same time, Dapeng retracted his wings, and one fell into the pit upside down, falling at a rapid speed like a free fall, and the scorpion did not dare to slack off, so he jumped down after it.
The two of them only felt an inexplicable dizziness, knowing that they were already in a rapid fall at this time, and they didn't dare to be careless, they urged all their body strength, and once they felt wrong, they immediately broke the scorpion's mouth and escaped. Although Xingyun was very reluctant to do so, he couldn't think about it too much, but it was a matter of life and death.
I don't know how long it took, but the feeling of falling finally weakened a lot, and gradually stopped. Just when they thought they had succeeded, they suddenly rose violently again, and Nebula only felt as if there was a stone in his heart that was falling as he flew upwards and down, pulling himself down.
This time it didn't take long for the uptrend to stop. Immediately after, the scorpion opened its mouth, and the light that suddenly pierced in made them all a little uncomfortable and a little dazzling.
They closed their eyes for a moment, feeling that they had become accustomed to it, before slowly opening them and stepping out of the scorpion's mouth. At that moment, Nebula could hardly describe how he felt, and the ecstatic feeling of finally returning to the human world burst through his heart, and he almost wanted to jump and roar a few times.
Why was he so sure, because he had been here at the moment where they were, and he remembered it very well. It was here that he had his first taste of fiasco, and that was the first time he had a fear of death.
It's a foggy pine forest!
"We're finally back!" Night had already guessed from Nebula's expression that they had succeeded. After five thousand years of separation, he was a complete stranger to this place, and he was not sure if this was really a human world, but from Nebula's expression of laughter and tears, he was really sure. At this moment, he finally burst into tears, and after more than 5,000 years, this moment finally came.
But soon, Nebula came back to his senses from his infinite joy, and said with some concern: "Hurry up, this is the foggy pine forest, a very dangerous place." ”
Ye was about to ask how dangerous it was, when the Roc flapped his wings, and the tremendous force instantly cut off all the pine trees in the entire pine forest, leaving only a shallow piece of stake.
Xingyun looked at everything around him in a bit of a daze, he didn't dare to look at the roc, but he also guessed that it must be very proud at the moment. At this time, he finally understood why the Fog Pine Forest had always been mysterious and dangerous, and it turned out to be the passage connecting the two worlds.
