Fifty-nine Shadows
readx;
Walking along the creek to the end, the two walked out of the jungle, and there was no way, and there was a cliff ahead. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info stream gushing down the cliff to form a gorgeous waterfall, and the bright moonlight is reflected on the waterfall, creating a touch of gentle beauty.
Nicole looked around and didn't find anything, so she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. She didn't walk much in the first place, and after being pulled by Ian for so long, she felt like her feet were going to go to waste.
"Nothing. Nicole muttered, "You were the one who made it to yourself." ”
Ian didn't speak immediately, he seemed to smell a familiar scent hidden in the air, but he didn't say what it was.
Ni could see Ian walking around with his nose up, and he burst out laughing, "What are you doing? Like a dog." ”
"Don't you smell anything?"
"What can it smell like, you fart?" Nicole covered her nose and looked at Ian with a look of disgust.
Ian didn't want to deal with this crazy girl anymore. But he really couldn't find anything, so he sighed and sat down on the ground. Ni could see that Ian looked decadent, and said with some amusement: "You are really, isn't it just right that you haven't found something? Isn't it good to go out safely and get a hundred gold coins? You have to put your life on the line to be comfortable, you really think you can beat the dragon." ”
"I can't beat it. Ian lay on the ground, took a comfortable position, covered his eyes with his hands, and the moonlight sprinkled on his face through his fingers, "But there is no point in this." ”
"Hey, people like you are still sighing about life here, you think you are a bard. Nicole sarcastically said, "It's not for you at all, is it?"
Ian didn't want to argue with Nicole now, so he slowly closed his eyes. Let Nicole talk there, slowly, slowly, she felt Nicole's voice get quieter and quieter, and finally it was so small that she couldn't hear it at all. The exhaustion of a day's walking rushed over all parts of his body, and he struggled for a while, and when he found it ineffective, he fell into a deep sleep.
As the night deepened, a large dark cloud drifted across the sky, obscuring part of the moon. The gentle moon turned into a sleepy-looking eye, and the phenomenon of "Eye of Heaven" reappeared. If he was a devout believer, he would have knelt on the ground at this moment and prayed in his heart, but Ian was not a believer, and if he was awake and saw this eye, he would only be bored.
The breeze glides by, bringing more coolness to the jungle at night, while also blowing the foliage of the trees. Hundreds of branches and leaves swayed, bringing a touch of weirdness and fear to this calm jungle.
Ian snapped his eyes open and sprang up from the ground with a thud, waking up Nicole, who was already asleep. He stared at a bush in the woods, even though it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
"You're crazy!" Nicole, who was awakened by Ian, was in a very unbeautiful mood, and she wanted to point at Ian's nose and curse. Seeing that Ian's face was pale and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he couldn't help but get nervous, "What's wrong with you?"
Ian didn't speak, keeping his eyes fixed on the bushes. In an instant, an unspeakable fear welled up in his heart, and his right arm burned like a burn, and it woke him from his deep sleep at once.
"Hey, you don't-" Before Nicole could finish speaking, she caught a glimpse of the bushes that Ian was staring at, and suddenly shook, and her face turned white.
Ian untied the bow and arrows hanging behind him, drew them from the quiver on the ground, and placed them on the bow and arrows, and drew the strings. The arrow was aimed at the bushes that were shaking slightly.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and Ian felt as if he was back in the snowy mountains, and the temperature had dropped enough to frostbite. His hand holding the bow and arrow trembled a little, and the sweat on his forehead slipped into his eyes, and he didn't dare to blink.
Nicole didn't dare to speak, and silently retreated behind Ian, staring at the bushes.
The bushes shook even more, as if something was about to emerge from them. So the two of them became even more nervous, and Ian could already feel that his back was already soaked with sweat. The swaying bushes awakened his memories of the snowy mountains, and he recalled the unstoppable force, the force that was enough to tear everything apart.
Then he suddenly remembered the Messiah, and he didn't know why he thought of her at this time. But that beautiful and moving face lingered in his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said softly, "I want to see you again." ”
"Huh?" Ian's voice was so low that Nicole, who was just behind him, couldn't hear it.
Ian, of course, wouldn't repeat it again, for the bushes shook even more. Ian bit his lower lip so tightly that he even bit blood.
Finally, a dark shadow emerged from the bushes. Ian let go of the bowstring directly, and the iron arrow flew out with a brush, shooting at the black shadow in the next second. With a "poof", the black shadow fell to the ground, trembled a few times, and then stopped moving.
"Huh?" Ian didn't feel right, it didn't seem like a dragon.
Nicole was hiding behind Ian's back, not daring to look out. Hearing Ian's hum, he finally mustered up the courage and poked his head out, and was immediately dumbfounded.
With the help of the faint moonlight, it was easy to see a wild boar lying to the ground, with a black arrow stuck in its head, and the pig's blood flowed down from its head to the ground.
The two were silent for a long time.
"Is that what makes you so nervous?" Nicole held out her hand and pointed at the boar.
"Ahem. Ian felt a little dull on his face, really, how could he almost be scared out of urine by a wild boar. But of course he wouldn't admit it, and said stubbornly, "You know, we're all asleep, even a wild boar is enough to inflict fatal damage on us, okay?" Didn't you say that you were going to stay up for the middle of the night tonight? Why are you asleep too?"
Ian successfully shirked the blame, and suddenly felt better. This time it was Nicole's turn to be embarrassed, she blushed and scratched her head: "It's not that people are too sleepy." ”
Ian snorted twice, and as he was about to pick up the arrows, an even stronger uneasiness swelled up in his heart. But before he could react, a black wind suddenly burst out of the woods, with a thunderous momentum, and came to Ian in the next moment.
Before Ian could react, he met a pair of golden pupils. The black wind moved again, and Ian felt a piercing pain in his left arm, and he lowered his head to see the white bones of Sensen.
"Ahh
At the moment of life and death, Ian roared, and the dragon flame mark on his right arm became even hotter. In the next moment, the black flame spread wildly along his arm, and the red substance in Ian's eyes also expanded in an instant, filling the entire pupil.
Ian drew the dagger hanging from his waist as fast as he could, and at the same time stepped back vigorously. The black wind moved again, and then a mist of blood erupted from Ian's chest, and Ian stabbed down with the dagger, stabbing into the flesh after a slight obstruction.
Black Wind's movements were interrupted. Ian pulled out his dagger, turned around and hugged Nicole, who hadn't reacted yet, and jumped off the cliff. At the moment of jumping off the cliff, Ian glanced back.
The moonlight shone on the black dragon scales, making it look even colder. The golden pupils were like two small suns in the dark night, staring at Ian deadly, and the huge dragon tail kept swinging, as if it could crush everything.
Before Ian could see better, he fell into the waterfall with Nicole in his arms.
