Chapter 55: Luring the Enemy
The grasslands give birth to life, but they also hide death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Countless creatures are born and grow in the green grass all over the mountains, and finally bury their bones in the wild grass, turning them into nutrients to feed the grassland, making the dense wild grass more vigorous.
On one side is the newly born life, full of curiosity and hope for the world, but perhaps not far from them, there are white bones under the shade of wild grass, and the harmony between new life and death is the normal state on the grassland.
In this steppe, however, the norm has recently been broken.
Greedy demons swept through this land full of life, whether it was a strange beast or an ordinary animal, they had no power to resist under the invasion of the demon spirits. Only crazy escape, for a while, the lightning leopard and the elk are in the same boat, the grassland fox and the short-eared rabbit live in peace, all beings are equal in the face of natural disasters, and everyone is struggling to survive and flee. But in the face of the tireless demons, the animals with limited physical strength are left behind in large groups, wailing that the demons have passed through their bodies and taken away their desperate souls.
The demon spirit crossed, the beasts were extinct, only ten days later, the new group has not migrated here, and the animals that were lucky enough to escape have not forgotten the fear and returned home, so a vacuum of life has been formed on this grassland, scholars call it the demon fault line, theoretically speaking, the demon spirit fault will last for twenty to thirty days, after which there will be creatures slowly moving back.
However, for plants, the Demon Fault is the greatest blessing. A large number of dead corpses are piled up on the ground, and if in normal times, as long as a few days, they will be snatched up by carnivores and scavengers, but during the Demon Spirit Fault, there are no carnivores to eat, and they can only decay and deteriorate under the action of bacteria, turning into nutrients to nourish the earth. Because of this, the vegetation in that area is always exceptionally lush for years after each Wiven crosses.
Now, the crow and the female leopard see the scene of the Demon Fault Period.
The whole area was filled with the smell of death, or rather, the smell of rancidity, and the weeds were everywhere revealing a whole intact yellow-brown skeleton, the color of the white bones infected with corpse fluid, the color of only a corpse that had never been eaten. Around the bones, wrapped in highly decomposed flesh and blood, the flesh had lost the ability to maintain its original shape, rotting into a pool of soft lying on the ground, yellow-green slime constantly oozing out of the rotten flesh, seeping into the surface little by little.
A female leopard in the form of a human is sweeping away the wild grass and walking on this grassland. The disgusted big cat kept muttering and cursing the bastard crow in his mouth, while carefully moving between the corpse fluid, rotten flesh and bones, it is true that experienced mercenaries have seen more death and are far more accustomed to the tragic scene than ordinary people, but it does not mean that they can accept such a heavy scene, nor does it mean that they like to walk through the rancid stench, and if they are not careful, they may be covered by rotten meat.
"Don't be impatient, won't I suffer with you. Ten meters away from her, the crow was also sitting on the same job as her, and when he heard her curse, he said funny, "Okay, okay, it's a big deal, when you get to the Two Realms City, I invite you to drink the best local wine, and drink as much as you want." â
"That's what you said. The female leopard raised her eyebrows and said, "If you dare not admit it, I will feed you to the earthworms." â
"Don't worry, your words count. Raven smiled and said, "But you have to do your job first." â
âxă Kicking off the head of a certain hare, the female leopard rubbed the soles of her shoes on the weeds, and asked impatiently, "Shall we just wander in the grass like this?"
"I wonder what they did to attract the giant earthworms. "Supposedly, earthworms don't hunt, and no matter what people do, they don't theoretically attract giant earthworms. â
"But in fact it has been attracted. The female pouted and said, "And it happened to be drawn under the soles of your feet, your theory is very problematic." â
"No, the theory is not wrong, but there are some special cases that are not covered. The crow stopped, shook his finger and said, "I also figured it out on the road, think about it, what were they doing before they were devoured?"
"How do I know that I didn't swallow it. The female leopard rolled her eyes and replied, but she still reluctantly replied, "Didn't the old man say that he was counting the losses." â
"Counting the losses is too general, what if it was more detailed?" said the crow with a confident smile, "At that time, they had just experienced subsidence, and many vehicles and people fell into the deep pit together, and there must have been a lot of things, vehicles and goods were buried in the soil, and they wanted to count the losses at this time......
"It's going to dig up the carts and the goods. The female leopard finally understood the crow's thoughts, "so they were digging into the ground." â
"Correct. The crow struggled to induce the female leopard to move her rusty brain, "As an able person, how do you dig when you dig in the soil?" â
"Ha, I see, the old lady is really the smartest. The female leopard proudly crossed her waist and said, "Of course, use the source energy to loosen the soil layer at the location to be dug, and then go down with a shovel." So you told me to use every step to shake the soil as hard as possible to make it soft, just to simulate what they were doing at that time. â
"Yes, yes, you're the smartest. The crow didn't bother to comment on the thickness of the female leopard's skin, "But you still have to be careful with the big cat, let's try to lure it out, the purpose is to confirm the opponent, not to feed it." In addition, we are indeed emulating that person's behavior, but the last step is not for you to follow suit, you must not really be swallowed by it, or I will not be able to explain to Rose when I go back, and if you are swallowed, she will probably have to tear me to pieces. â
"I know, I know, it's verbose. Although the female leopard was complaining, the corners of her mouth were upturned, clearly showing her use of this concern, "In short, if you feel an abnormal vibration, it means that they are coming, right?" â
"Hmm. The crow nodded, "Just stay away as much as you can then." â
"How far is it?" asked the leopard-sheriff.
"It depends on how much of the soil has been loosened by the two of us, and at least out of this range when the time comes. "The softer the soil, the easier it is for earthworms to move and eat, so it's possible to attract them." It should be relatively safe to get out of this area and go to normal land, of course, the safest place is still in the sky. â
âxă The female leopard gave her middle finger up again, "xxx." â
"Hehehe, I'm telling the truth. The crow smiled, but in the next moment, the faces of the two changed at the same time, and a faint vibration came from the depths of the ground.
