Chapter 21: Accidents
Mo Yi'er followed closely behind the wizard Murong, unconsciously staring at the footprints left by him, before that, when they came here to look for traces, they didn't see the footprints at all. She couldn't help but ask, "Wizard Murong, how did you hide your footprints before?" The last time I looked for it, I didn't find any footprints or breath! "You know, there was this thick snow back then, and it was much more difficult to leave no trace on the snow than it is now.
Wizard Murong glanced back at Mo Yi'er, Yan Zhan's smug look was fully revealed, but he just smiled and didn't answer Mo Yi'er's question. This is his ability to save his life, and he will never say it.
After Mo Yi'er asked, she also felt stupid, how could he say it? "Forget it, when I didn't ask."
And the wizard Murong pretended not to hear Mo Yi'er's question, and walked hard up the mountain. He didn't seem to be affected in the slightest way after being tied up for many days, and his steps were so fast that Mo Yi'er could barely keep up. It was faster than the speed he had before, which made Mo Yi'er secretly suspicious and more cautious.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the cave that Mo Yi'er had discovered last time. Wizard Murong entered the cave door without saying a word, but Mo Yi'er stood at the door and observed inside. There is not a lot of space inside, and it is clear at a glance, and there is no trace of small pompoms at all.
Wizard Murong turned around at this moment, his face, which was originally pale from injury, became abnormally flushed, and he smiled strangely: "What? When they are all in front of them, do they not dare to come in? ”
This is a radical method, Mo Yier is not fooled: "There is nothing here, are you playing tricks?" Do you think you'll be able to escape when you get here? ”
"Huh...... If there is one, you have to come in and have a look! Wizard Murong took a few more steps inside, pounding and cooing a few times in front of a stone wall, I don't know what mechanism was touched, the stone wall actually fell inside, like a stone door. It was pitch black inside the stone door, making it impossible to see inside.
Mo Yi'er suppressed the shock in her heart, and calmly asked the wizard Murong: "You actually made a mechanism?" "Legend has it that there were indeed many mechanisms and secret passages in ancient times, but in this primitive society, there were limited tools, and it was too difficult to make such mechanisms and secret passages, so Mo Yi'er had to be shocked.
Wizard Murong became more advanced at this moment, and did not answer all of Mo Yi'er's questions. Mo Yi'er had no choice but to enter the cave, hesitated, and followed the footsteps of the wizard Murong towards the secret passage.
This secret passage is extremely narrow, and the two of them can barely get through. It was still the wizard Murong who had been walking in front, and Mo Yi'er followed cautiously behind, opening all her senses to prevent the wizard Murong from suddenly turning around to deal with him. But the wizard Murong has always obediently walked in front, except for breathing, there is no superfluous movement. After about ten minutes of doing this, the pitch-black space was blocked by a stone wall, as if approaching a dead end. Wizard Murong leaned over and groped for a while, touching something that was difficult to find, only to hear a 'boom' A stone door like a thousand catties rose up. The wizard Murong flashed into the door, lest the stone gate would close if the speed slowed down. Seeing this, Mo Yi'er also quickly followed, but this stone gate did not have a whereabouts, which made Mo Yi'er feel that this wizard Murong was bluffing.
Inside the stone gate, it was still pitch black, but Mo Yi'er felt that this space was huge, and she found a huddled figure in a corner after adapting to the dark eyes.
"Tear Lala......" Wizard Murong lit a torch with tinder, and then lit a bonfire, and the space lit up instantly. However, this brightness only has a bright feeling in contrast to the darkness just now, but in fact, in this space of about 300 square meters, this bonfire is really not powerful.
However, this little bit of brightness is definitely enough for Mo Yi'er to see everything around here.
In the space of about 300 square meters, there are dry firewood and food, and there is even a groove, about one square meter, in which is the spring water that seeps out of nowhere, clear and transparent. In addition, the most striking thing is the huddled figure. It was a man with long blond curly hair, lying on his side, his face facing the wall, covered only in tattered animal skins. Judging from his back, he was long and emaciated, and his whole body exuded a kind of death.
Mo Yi'er felt her heart tremble, and it took a while for her to ask: "Little pom-pom, is it you?" She wasn't sure, because even in front of people, she didn't feel the slightest connection with him. Moreover, except for his dull blonde hair and height, there is no feature of a small pom-pom.
You must know that no matter where the small pompom is, no matter what form it takes, it is extremely eye-catching, and the body will always emit a faint golden light. But the figure in front of him, full of sad life, has no life except for the faint breath.
The figure didn't seem to hear Mo Yi'er's question, and still didn't move, making Mo Yi'er's trembling heart sink again and again, like going down to a bottomless deep pool, extremely cold.
At this moment, Mo Yi'er couldn't pay attention to what the wizard Murong was doing, she walked towards the figure step by step, each step was like walking for a thousand years, and her steps were so heavy that they seemed to be filled with lead. Finally, she walked up to the man, and she stretched out her hands to touch the person in front of her......
Suddenly......
The man turned around at a non-human speed, his body half-arched, his hands crossed his chest, in a state of self-preservation and alertness. A pair of eyes exude a scorching golden light, which makes people dare not look directly, lest they stab their eyes.
"Little pom-pom ......" Mo Yi'er couldn't help but be not frightened by his suddenness, but became happy. Even though the person in front of her is thin and withered, the eyebrows and eyes can be seen to be her little pompom. She hated to hug him immediately and kiss him fiercely, however, the little pom-pom in front of her was like a frightened little girl, looking at Mo Yi'er in horror, and her vigilance did not subside at all.
Mo Yi'er's heart sank, and she subconsciously took a step back, she clearly felt the killing intent of the little pom-pom. It's not that she's afraid of the little pom-pom, she just doesn't want to provoke him, he looks distressing, and if she really fights, she's afraid of hurting him. She softened her voice as much as possible, and soothed him in the familiar tone of the little pom-pom: "Little pom-pom, what's wrong with you?" I'm Mo Yi'er! You have suffered......" As he spoke, he was already choked up, and tears unconsciously slipped to the ground, smeared with dust.
At this moment, the little pom-pom's eyes were attracted by the tears that had already landed, and he looked at the tears in a daze, and his vigilant body relaxed slightly.
"Little pom-pom ......" Mo Yi'er saw this, and hurriedly called again. She knew she couldn't rush it, or it would backfire.
However, a strange laugh interrupted her. It was the wizard Murong who was by the bonfire as soon as he entered the door, and he didn't know what he was doing.
She looked at the wizard Murong with the little pom-pom, and was shocked for a while. The moment the little pompom saw the wizard Murong, he returned to a state of vigilance, his golden eyes were shining, the killing intent in his eyes was huge, and at the same time, there was a strong resentment.
The reason why Mo Yi'er was shocked was that although the wizard Murong was still wearing the previous animal skin clothes at this moment, his beard had turned white, and half of his normal face was full of wrinkles, like chrysanthemums blooming in September. And the half of the face that was originally occupied by insects, and then bloody and pitted, now more insects are emerging, and they are scrambling to grab a place, for fear that there will be no territory when it is too late. Although there are many bugs, they are very organized and disciplined, and even if they squeeze their bodies, they will not move half a point to that good face.
Not only his face, but also Wizard Murong's bare hands were also full of wrinkles and dark brown spots. Mo Yier knows that once a person is old, these spots will grow after menopause, which are called age spots. But the wizard Murong is only twenty years old, he was fine a moment ago, why has he become like this now?
Just as he was thinking about it, the sorcerer Murong's dry lips opened, and a hoarse voice like a broken gong came out: "Mo Yi'er, you have seen your golden lion." However, this time I will let you have no return, hahaha......" This laughter is terrifying, not like the sound that should be in the world.
"What do you want?" Mo Yi'er had already realized that in just a few words, the wizard Murong didn't know what method he used, and while he became old, his ability should have improved a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be under her control one moment, and dare to let out big words the next moment.
"Naturally, I took your life! Hahaha......" Wizard Murong kept laughing, and the sound made Mo Yi'er's ears itch and his mind was confused. The little pom-pom, who had been in a state of vigilance, was also flustered by this sound, and a lion's roar came out, and he immediately rushed towards the wizard Murong.
But the sound of his roar was like that of a cat and a tiger compared to before, and there was no deterrent power at all. Mo Yi'er yelled 'Be careful'! The little pompom flew back with a kick from the wizard Murong and hit the stone wall. "Ahh The little pom-pom let out a suppressed roar, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and fell to the ground.
Mo Yi'er rushed over, wanting to pick up the little pom-pom, but when she saw his wary gaze at her, she had to withdraw her hand. The little pom-pom must have suffered a lot of inhuman encounters before it became like this, Mo Yi'er couldn't approach him rashly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. For today's plan, we must first deal with the wizard Murong who doesn't know what the hell has been done.
Mo Yi'er took out a delicate small bow from her waist, and three arrows shot out in a row!
However, the old wizard Murong was extremely flexible, he jumped up and down like a monkey, and easily avoided the three swords that fired in succession. Immediately, there was a strange sound coming out of his mouth, and for a moment countless 'rustling' sounds were remembered in this stone cave......
