Chapter 31: The Eye in the Shadows (2)

The mist of blood filled the valley again.

Just like the demon god shrouded by it, a ripple reappeared in his heart.

The image of the bubbles, like a magnet attracting iron filings, firmly attracted Jace's attention.

Even though he had lived thousands of years and seen so many strange things, Jace still felt that the light and shadow he glimpsed at this moment contained a strangeness that excited him.

I watched all this with great interest.

The six bubbles surrounding the skull of this half-dragon, half-lion demon god, flew with various images, like a pond in late autumn accompanied by the changing light and shadow of the sky.

At the moment, they are six reels of video tapes played upside down.

The light shimmers like a glimpse of the past.

This is everything that has happened to them in the past, condensed in a moment at this moment, like a firecracker ignited by a spark, and it all bursts at the moment of explosion!

The images flew by, and Jace's memories became more and more profound.

His thoughts, like the dust in the still water that had originally risen but sank again, finally seemed to have come to fruition.

He was answered, and the bubble of change finally changed back to its original appearance, focusing on the present again, not just reminiscing about the past.

The terrifying demon god began to widen his golden eyes again, staring intently and playfully at the bubbles in front of him.

It was as if the shaking characters and the faint voice inside were the whole and everything of his life!

Colorful bubbles, round and crystalline body, at this moment constant in a secluded dense forest, where the ancient trees are towering, there are countless birds and insects.

But at this moment, the undoubted protagonist is the visitor to this mountain forest.

These uninvited guests are breaking the original silence of this world!

Thousands of miles away from them, even somewhere in the world, a terrifying and terrifying demon god was watching them with wide eyes.

Richard seemed to sense this terrible concern.

He often glanced backwards inexplicably, a natural alertness that drove him to do so.

Richard suddenly felt a pair of eyes, peeking at him from behind.

"Is this because I'm too suspicious, or if the two of them can't. The boy on the back of a wolf suddenly cast a questioning glance at the quiet beauty beside him.

The dragon that was hovering not far above the two of them was also under his gaze.

This strange act was like a pebble thrown into the sea, and it didn't even cause a ripple. Perhaps, these two of his companions had similar feelings to him.

There are a pair of peeping eyes in the dark!

But the discomfort on their backs didn't stop them from moving.

After a long time, as soon as they heard the familiar wolf howl and bear roar, the two of them and the dragon had immediately started to act, and they followed the sound in a hurry.

Although it was a dense forest, with shrubs, streams, and old trees in the way, with the help of the helmeted wolf, they were as easy as walking on the ground.

From time to time, Amos, hovering low, let out a translucent dragon roar.

Under that terrifying majesty, they walked along the way, and flocks of birds swayed. The dense forest, which was originally full of monsters, seemed to have some strange changes overnight, and the ground was empty, and suddenly there was no lively beast roar in the past, only the sound of small insects was still there.

These little things are too small, because of the terrifying gap, and they don't even understand what the dragon's roar means.

The sound of acquaintance sounded from time to time, but it added a bit of horror to this dense forest.

It's just that those beasts with huge bodies, as if fleeing from the plague, are far away from this land that has been trodden by outsiders.

Richard rode on the back of a wolf, and felt this surprising peace and strange tranquility.

Naturally, he knew why.

Just a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

For a long time in the past, Richard, who was still a small mercenary, was always in a hurry to travel in the mountains and forests.

At that time, he was weak and helpless, looking at everything around him with fear, like a cowardly rabbit, trembling and cautious, helplessly subdued by the power of nature.

Just because he was very weak at the time.

Time has passed, and a few months have passed in a flash, but it seems to be turned upside down.

Walking through the jungle at least for the moment, Richard felt as if he had become the master of this side, and nothing dared to question or challenge his authority.

But he wasn't happy at all.

The strength of strength is relative, even if he can dominate this mountain forest that should be intimidated, he is still humble and powerless in the face of other greater things.

For example, those in heaven who are called "gods" by people.

Or maybe it's this world in turmoil!

Although he has strength, he has only evolved from an ant to a grasshopper after all.

In the face of those mountain-like forces that can only sigh, they can just jump more than before, and have more ability to struggle.

This feeling of powerlessness was considered by Richard to be a silent mockery.

The smile on his face that he often wears, because of this awakening, is like snow in the spring light, melted away.

People often reminisce about the past when they have to.

This young man was like this at the moment, and he suddenly felt that the past days were not bad.

He lived in poverty at that time, but he had some free time, so that he could wander the streets and admire the beauty of this exotic land and the many beauties that passed by from time to time.

Although they often don't look at him.

Perhaps it was these humilities that were ignored that touched his heart, and made him finally enter the square where the chants were sung and the crowd was oppressed......

Richard laughed to himself again.

At that time, the cautious self who always thought that all this was just a fantasy probably would not have believed that he would have terrifying power in a few months, and be involved in a storm that even the gods would mix.

But is this upheaval worth it?

This new question, like a thick dark cloud walking up the sky, disturbed the young man's heart.

At the beginning, he was running for life, and now he can't rest as usual.

Be cautious then, can you relax now?

......

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap on the ground. Richard felt that these thread-like tangled thoughts had a fundamental logical fallacy. After all, the world is about to face a turmoil not seen in thousands of years.

If the world at this moment is likened to an island that is about to tremble under a hurricane, then everything at that time, whether it is a great god with endless life and power, or a humble mortal who can only be a slave, is just a poor creature on this island that is about to be misfortuned, and may be swept away by that terrible natural disaster.

But unlike in the past, he is more powerful in this moment and more likely to control his own destiny.

The humility of tigers and leopards in the face of natural disasters does not mean that weaker pikas are more likely to escape the doom that both sides face than their relatively strong ones.

......

When they finally arrived at the place where the wolf howl originated, Richard finally nodded firmly.

This traveler from a foreign land finally decided that the humble belief in his heart, like a little firefly under the night sky, was to use his own strength to change something!

If possible. He wants it to be the world.

But even if you take 10,000 steps back, you have to do something for the people who really care about him and believe in him, so that they can have more strength to preserve in this turmoil.
