Chapter 53: Drinking, Fighting, and Trouble
In October, the Forest Spirits have a "Fruit Wine Festival" to celebrate the gift of the forest and celebrate Cloris's ability to live under the protection of the trees.
With the arrival of the Luna Emissary, the forest elves decided to advance the ritual by a few days.
When Ouyang returned to Legolash, it was just when the forest elves were preparing for the ceremony. A variety of fruity aromas are interspersed with wine aromas, which makes people greedy.
Present at the ceremony included many natives in the forest, as well as some Warcraft with good wine, and the forest spirits relied on the famous fruit wine to form friendships with Warcraft and get help.
This is a stage with the characteristics of forest elves, tall trees in a circle, the performers are on the small balcony of the tree house, sitting or standing, the elves' deer flutes and liuqin, the Tusta people's row drums, the forest trolls' bone fish, the mountain dwarves' bronze sand mallets, the Kander's bells, and the musical instruments of various races are mixed into a big mess.
Ouyang frowned, trying to focus on a pleasant piece of music from the chaotic sound, making his ears less uncomfortable. He couldn't understand how the elves had always loved and respected music to the point of being harsh, how could the forest elves be able to endure the current scene? Even Mirien, who had just recovered, borrowed a lyre to play the music belonging to the Sea Clan, and the little ferret who refused to admit defeat set up a triangle and knocked it on the side.
The chaos lasted for a long time, and suddenly there was a loud metal crash outside the venue, which overshadowed all the instruments, and the room fell silent. The sound of the crash did not stop, but got closer and closer, heavy and rhythmic.
"What's going on?" Ouyang asked Lalandia, the sound that made people's chests shake, as if it was made by the collision of two iron plates.
"That was the last group of guests to come. Lalandia said with a bitter face, as if it was a bad guest who came to the door with a great headache.
A tall golden ape emerged from behind the tree, its golden palms slammed, and it twisted into the field.
The key son on Ouyang's crackling abacus, King Kong Tyrannical Ape!
"Welcome to the fruit wine festival, Your Excellency the strong Xiao Ming!" said Elven Elder Kirsten, who was in charge of presiding over the banquet, in a loud voice.
The golden ape nodded at everyone in the arena, then walked straight to the largest barrel in the arena and sat down. As soon as it walked away, the elegant figure behind it was revealed, a red-crowned crane with a whole body of blue, stopped at the door, spread its wings and curtsy, as elegant as a noble princess.
"You're always so elegant, Lord Devon!" Kirsten enthusiastic. Qinghe nodded at him, and walked over to the bottle next to the golden ape and stood on one leg.
"Oh, firecloud toad buddy!" Christine laughed and moved away from the front of the big fiery toad. It is really not easy for a toad to salute like the previous two, and the red toad ingeniously stood up on his hind legs and then lay down, this kind of almost prostrate salute, except for the gods, no one can bear it.
Ouyang looked at the three-headed demonic beast in surprise, looked at Huo Jiasi, trying to get an answer from the Beamon sacrifice, would the monster pet of the Beamon sacrifice also have such spirituality?
However, Huo Jiasi was also full of surprise, even if the sacrifice and the demon pet had the same heart, it was difficult to train a demonic beast to be so polite.
"What's going on?" asked Ouyang.
"They are all high-level magical beasts, elves are not Bimeng sacrifices, they don't train magical beasts, they are all guests, and there are many interesting magical beasts like this in the Baiyue Forest. Luke, it is not easy for us to survive in the forest, allies are a must. The nearby tribes, as well as these monsters, are our allies, making sweet fruit wine from fruits, which is very popular in the forest, and the three-headed monsters who came are the drunkards of the forest. ”
After the three-headed beast took its seat, the celebration officially began, and after the host Kirsten raised his glass, everyone stopped what they were doing and drank the first cup to greet the forest that provided the hundred fruits, and the goddess Merikai who sheltered the forest. For a time, the sweetness of bayberry, the sweetness of cherries, and the sweetness of pomegranates...... Dissolves in the aroma of wine and diffuses among the trees.
As Kirsten retreated from the venue, the trolls began to play the "bone fish", a musical instrument made of various skeletons, and at the same time waved their hands and feet vigorously, dancing the characteristic dance originating from the troll voodoo ritual, and the percussion of the "tuk-tuk" was invigorating, and there was no more chaos in the previous big ensemble. Ouyang looked at the field, and his thoughts slowly drifted away......
It is not easy for all the tribes in the Baiyue Forest to live, all kinds of demonic beasts here often move around, and the vicious snakes and poisonous insects have a breeding period every year, but the biggest threat comes from outside the forest. The development of the Tran human race has reached its peak, and with the expansion of the territory, adventurers and slave hunters are responsible for hunting and killing the natives of the forest, and there was even a human lord close to the forest in order to "pioneer" and throw a fire into the verdant forest. All of this, when hunting human-faced spiders, what Ouyang saw and heard had already sketched in his mind the difficulties of the life of forest elves.
When encountering difficulties, people will always look for solutions and let go of their posture with an enlightened attitude.
In this seemingly bitter wine banquet, Ouyang saw the posture of the forest elves put down. On the continent of Lotharma, elves and dragons compete with each other, and now there is little contact between the two elven tribes, let alone the indigenous tribes with a low level of civilization. The stubborn dwarves are considered to be the most unskilled race, and they have nothing to create but black iron furnaces and bitter ale; the savagery of the trolls still retains the custom of cannibalism, and their art is only the word "skeleton"; every one of the Kander people is a thief, and the only thing that fascinates them is the style and pattern of the money bag! Who would have imagined that the forest elves would invite them to a banquet and exchange music and dance?
You must have been bitten by a tengu!
Even in Estes, who gave Ouyang an approachable feeling, Ouyang had never seen a single demonic beast come as a guest! Elven Dragon Parker only has a friendship with Lynchet, not with the whole of Kadore!
The appearance of the golden ape made Ouyang's eyes light up, since it was good wine, since it was good friends with the forest elves, then things would be easy to do! Ouyang's face was full of fat, looking at the three-headed demonic beast in the field!
I don't know when, it's the turn of the three-headed monster to perform, the golden ape is beating the beat, the fire toad is cooing and singing, the green crane stretches its wings and dances, and the verdant dance is as beautiful as the willow wind in early spring!
Just when everyone was intoxicated with the performance, a fat man fell from the sky, wrapped in two cobwebs in his hands, and slapped the wings of the crane!
The green crane fell to the ground, and everyone was amazed, who is this stick!
After taking a picture of the green crane, Ouyang popped out a stream of spider silk and stuck to the canopy of the tree, swinging towards the golden ape. The golden ape roared and stood up, and the golden fist hit the fat man. The big and small fists collided, the sound of metal hitting shocked the eardrums, Ouyang who had nowhere to borrow strength in the air flew upside down, the golden ape jumped up, and another fist followed.
Ouyang laughed, and with the help of the swing of the spider silk, he let go of the golden ape, but pounced on the fire toad. The oncoming fireball dissipated under the action of the "Fire Bead", and Ouyang smashed it down, and the fist was directed at the fire toad's brain. The fire toad's tongue rolled, and the mussel container it used to drink was thrown at the fat man, this blow was actually not small, after Ouyang blocked the wine bottle, the fire toad was ready to fight back.
The five-meter-tall fiery red toad stood up, his muscular thighs drove his flippers, and he responded with a powerful whip leg. Ouyang's magical dispersal of the fireball did not surprise the fire toad, but the other party's abnormal movements surprised him, and after reacting, he had to block this blow.
The blue crane's wings rolled up the wind blade of fine snow, and it had already cut through the shackles of the cobweb, and when it saw the fat man flying, it was like a knife man holding two knives, and put on a beautiful starting pose, with its wings like knives, and it was a random chop on the fat man.
Qinghe didn't use magic, and when Ouyang fell to the ground, there were no wounds except for pain all over his body.
Originally, he also wanted to use the two dragon balls to restrain the green crane and the fire toad, and it was not difficult to clean up these two demonic beasts, and then against the golden ape, his strength should be able to resist the other party, as long as the golden ape also won the battle, it was not easy to subdue the three-headed demonic beast?
Unexpectedly, he had a punch with the golden ape, but he was beaten by the crane cicada that he looked down on!
Ouyang made a fuss, smashed a lot of good wine, and he himself fell on the table, smashing all over the wine. At this time, some people outside the stadium applauded and shouted. Mirien's cheeks were red from the drunkenness of all kinds of fruit wine, and she applauded her husband's battle, not worrying in the slightest that he had lost.
With the cheers of the mermaid princess, under the leadership of Huo Jiasi and Lalandia, the audience erupted in cheers. It was supposed to be a banquet with wine and music as an exchange, but who would refuse a fight show of strength?
Miriam was drunk, but her mind was still active, and she took the lead in cheering, just to let everyone know that this was a purely physical gladiatorial performance, and to eliminate the possibility of the three-headed demonic beast using magic, otherwise, although the four dragon balls were magical, there were no dragon balls that could dissolve the metal magic of the King Kong Tyrannosaurus.
The golden ape snorted and roared, showing satisfaction with the cheers around him, the monkey was competitive, and so was the ape, and the applause made it golden like a victorious general.
Ouyang shook off the wine on his body and screamed to continue. Popping out the spider silk, he climbed to a tree in the blink of an eye, and beckoned to the green crane hovering in the air, and the person had already swung out, obviously trying to get a bargain from the green crane.
Here, Ouyang kept staying in the air with the help of spider silk, and his hands and feet became knives and kept greeting Qinghe. The green crane over there is not simple, its wings are like knives, its beak is like a spear, its feet are claws, and the fat man is constantly rotating and parrying like a spinning top, and from time to time there are pieces of clothes falling.
The two were in the air, fighting on the trunk for more than a dozen rounds, and they had mutual gains and losses, but Ouyang, who could not fly, fell behind and was forced back to the trunk again.
"The last one!" Ouyang pounced on Qinghe again, making up his mind that he could clean up the other party this time.
Qinghe responded to him with a clear sigh, waved his wings and fluttered, his sharp beak was like a snake out of a hole, like a tailless bee sting, stabbing at Ouyang's chest, forcing the fat man to dodge, then Qinghe's next wings or claws can give a decisive blow.
Ouyang didn't dodge the front meaning, clutched the spider silk that was still attached to his hand, and raised his body flat, not kicking at the sharp beak, but twisting his calf, and clamping the crane's head.
Qinghe waved his wings and struggled to pull his head out, but he was defeated by Ouyang's strange power, and was held by the other party and made a few swings, even if the claws buckled on his body had penetrated deep into the flesh, the fat man still did not let go of the slightest meaning. After making a pendulum, Ouyang let go of the spider silk, threw his body on Qinghe's back, locked Qinghe's wings with both hands, and pressed the other party to fall down.
Qinghe struggled desperately, but felt that the other party suddenly loosened the restraints, and jumped away from its body with a force on his back. The crane was able to stop in the air and let out an angry scream, and was about to take revenge, but found that he was only two or three meters above the ground. The blue crane stopped, and it knew it had lost.
Seeing Ouyang pounce, the fire toad croaked, stood up again, squatted down like a sumo wrestler, agitated his white belly, and pounced towards Ouyang who was rushing towards him. The two collided together, and then retreated separately, until the third time the two sides collided again, and Ouyang no longer collided with the stupid toad. Unleash a strange force and throw the fire toad out.
Ouyang leveled the fire toad and walked straight towards his ultimate goal.
The golden ape bared his teeth and laughed, the three-headed demonic beast was headed by it, because its wisdom was higher and its strength was the strongest, this fat man's flying style of play, I had never seen it, and it even saw that the fat man's strength was not small, such a competition, isn't it just what it wants?
"Mr. Lu Kai's combat ability is really powerful, even the ninth-order King Kong Storm Ape can resist hard!" The old priest walked behind the two women at some point, accompanied by the young elf Kairagon, and couldn't help but ask. The old priest had already guessed the identity of Ouyang's "Moon Messenger", but the fighting ability he displayed made him curious.
The drunken Miriam grinned, and was about to brag about how heroic the man was in the battle against the human mercenaries, but found that her tongue had already been knotted and she could not say a word.
Huo Jiasi helped the mermaid who was unstable, took over the conversation, and said, "Lu Kai's strange power is given by a wulong. ”
As he spoke, the competition in the field was over, and Ouyang threw the golden ape to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall, although it didn't cause any damage, but the two sides who were panting and puffing had reached an agreement to stop.
"Hey, Golden Ape, come with me!" Ouyang said to the Golden Ape who stood up.
The golden ape plucked his nostrils, flicked his finger at Ouyang, and said unexpectedly: "It's beautiful!"
After speaking, he walked out without looking back. The two demonic beasts, the green crane and the fire toad, also left.
Ouyang froze in place, his eyes burning, and he didn't want to let go of this golden ape in his heart.
With the departure of the three-headed demonic beast, the scene returned to calm.
Looking at the back of the golden ape, Ouyang was not in a hurry, there will be time in the future, one battle subdued the arrogant King Kong, but what about ten games later?
