Chapter 19: The Gluttonous Kind
She was planted headlong in the black swamp, and the bag fell to the ground, and as soon as the mouth of the bag was loosened, the thistle lifted its short roots and ran away.
Ting Ni pulled her head out of the swamp with one hand, her face covered with black mud, which blended with the black clothes on her body, and she could only see a black shadow in the gloom of dusk, and her face was almost the same now.
Not so embarrassed, ignoring the mud on her face and mouth, she pulled her legs to catch up with the last of the escaping thistle, its calf-like roots bobbing back and forth, nimbly avoiding her claws and running into the sand that was born on the ground.
"Damn, come out for me. β
"Give it up. β
Yue glared at Tingni, who had been standing by and watching, but he couldn't see anything but the whites of his eyes.
"Look at me burning this place with a fire, you can't get out. She summoned the red dragon's ball of flame, and Tinny doused her with a bucket of cold water.
"The thistle leaves the soil as a dry body, and the sand pong is not lit, and the leaf thistle in it has been burned out. "It's a dry body, and it can escape faster with the wind.
"He washed them out with a flood. She was about to chant the incantation again, and Ting Ni slapped her head off with one hand and stuck the black mud with the other, and she covered the sore spot and yelled, "What's wrong again?"
"A leaf thistle takes root when it encounters water, and then it is deeply rooted in the soil, do you want to go into the sand and pull it up one by one?"
She was stunned, and the sand was full of sharp and thin thorns.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what is this?
Seeing her stubbornly standing motionless, Tinny thought she had stuck her legs in the swamp.
"A thousand?"
"Yes. β
"Must be caught?"
"Of course. β
Let's do it quickly!
"Cover this sand pong with the dark magic 'Darkness', lure them with light at the exit, and come out in a moment. This time you'd better get them in a sturdy bag. "Just now, they just didn't get out of the bag, and they were about to burst the hole in the fishing net.
Dark?
Yue thought hard for a while, as if she remembered something, and immediately vetoed Yaoyao's head.
"I don't have a dark contractor. She said honestly.
That's amazing, he doesn't lack any other high-level alien races in her.
"To say one thing that might make you proud, there aren't many dark aliens in the outside world, at least very few are willing to show their heads. There is also a saying that the alien races that use dark magic do not follow their own large clans when they divide into other worlds, but run to the demon world or other unknown realms or spaces. β
The realm of the demon race was divided into races according to the attributes of magic power a long, long time ago, and the Seven Kingdoms were born because of this, but after a long period of exchanges, such a boundary is no longer so clear.
Many dark demons in the demon world didn't make Ting Ni proud, and he patted the dust on his shoulder indifferently.
Without dark magic, it can still be replaced by something else, just a little more laborious.
Before dark, she finally packed a thousand thistles, called out the power of attorney, and struggled to throw the one leaf into the power of attorney and sent it to the client.
"A thousand leaf thistles, commissioned to complete. "AlasβI'm so tired, my back hurts," I can't move, I'm going to lie down for a while. β
"Who wants this kind of thing?" Ting Ni sat down not far from her.
"Bloodline!" she took a sip of water as she lay on her side, then poured the rest of the water into her face, "In the Bloodline's world, there are only four hours of daylight in many places, and they are almost all shade plants. Many, many years ago, an alien ran to the Blood Clan to fight and burned the mangrove forests in that area on which the Blood Clan depended for their livelihood. β
It was an old tree that had settled in the Otherworld before it had yet to differentiate, and it needed a lot of sunlight from the seed to the sapling, and the environment in that area had changed, making it unsuitable for the sapling to grow. I tried transplanting before and after, but soon it was hung up due to soil and water adaptation, and I also tried to increase the light in that area, so I had the commission of the demon world one leaf thistle. This was commissioned 200 years ago, and it is finally spring in the mangroves.
Two hundred years ago? That's a long time for humanity.
Ting Ni couldn't help but give her a second look.
"It takes generations to complete an alien commission, and even if it can't be completed, it's normal. She explained that there are many restrictions on the long life span of aliens.
The uncaught thistle ran in one direction with a full sunshine.
That's the entrance to the Demon Eater.
Just as they were taking a nap, two demons who were on the road walked into the Demon Devouring Forest.
Yue and Tingni glanced at each other, suddenly retracted their breath in tacit understanding, and followed closely behind the demons, ready to observe a hunt.
It is reported that there is no record of the survival of the creatures that entered the Devouring Forest, so no one knows how the poor victims were eaten alive and finally buried in the forest.
The demons who were unconsciously surrounded by danger talked and laughed, one was a thin man with white hair, red eyes and blue skin, and the other was a strong man with horns, they talked about the shock that appeared in the enchantment during the day, and talked about the tense relationship between the Thunder Country and the Water Country, and after the political topic was over, it was more peachy news, teasing the Thunder Kingdom Wannian Prince Tingni who had crossed the enchantment for a long time and had not returned, they guessed that Tingni had abandoned the country with a woman in the human world, and the so-called father must have his son; The human world is inhabited by demons, and in addition, the little demons "never mention" the terrifying experiences of the human world.
Those little demons are spreading rumors about the witch clan everywhere.
Sounds good!
If it weren't for Tinni's familiarity with the habits and whereabouts of the thistle, it would not have been possible to discover the exact location of the Demon Eater Forest, which almost blended in with the surrounding woods, especially in the dark of night, and could not even distinguish the only vegetation with a slight difference in color.
From the entrance to the short road, there was a kind tranquility, only the quiet of huge trees and the unbridled bushes, no sneaky shadows, no life-threatening beasts, only the cool breeze wafting from the depths of the trees.
There wasn't even a breath of life, so silent that it seemed to have no life.
She stepped on the slippery green path under her feet, and suddenly felt a little nauseous, and for a moment she could not remember where she had seen similar plants, familiar dense trees, leafless shrubs.
Just when the thin man and the strong man realized the unusual tranquility in front of them, a few thistles with a faint glow like fireflies appeared at their feet, and within five steps two would appear, a faint white light, seemingly planted intentionally, to guide the lost, and the faint light scattered in the woods to the depths. There was an illusion of curling green smoke nearby, and they even heard the joyful cries of insects and the faint aroma of food, which must have been the quarters of the forest keepers in front of them.
It's an illusion, hidden in the wind that blows across the cheeks, and gradually confuses the mind.
The demons went deeper into the woods, and the frequency of thistles became less and less.
"It seems to be getting darker. The Oxhorn Demon Clan whispered.
"Ahead, there is light again. The thin man pointed to the light ahead.
After 10 minutes, they went into darkness again, and then a thistle appeared, and after 5 minutes, they went into darkness again.
"Are we lost?"
"Why, I've been keeping an eye out for these bushes all the way, from the finger-thin ones that came in, to the thigh-thick ones now, and we're close to the middle of the woods. β
"Why, is there only one shrub in this wood?"
There is only one ...... The legendary Demon Eater Forest, the huge forest actually has only one plant, no, they inquired before entering the jungle area, the Demon Eater Forest was far away from this area two days ago, why did it suddenly appear?
No, it is also possible that they entered the illusion of some demon race, and realized that they were in danger, and they drew their weapons.
The thick vines began to wriggle, making an unpleasant grinding sound.
The Thin Demon Clan lit the emergency torches, and the four sides were suddenly illuminated, they were already trapped in a cage made of tree vines, the chaotic cracks of the tree vines under their feet were covered with bones, and in front of them, two tree vines raised their heavy bodies, their tentacles pointed at their prey.
Just as Tinny drew his sword and tried to cut off the vines that were attacking, suddenly, the torches went out, and Tinny only felt the vines go around his sword, and a scream followed.
Oops, she hasn't seen it yet, so it's no show?
She took out a leaf of thistle that she had just picked all the way from her backpack and scattered it in the direction of the demon's scream, at this time, the giant tree vine reached into the cage, the tentacles split in half, opened the mouth full of slime, and pushed the demon who had been entangled and suffocated, one by one, into the vine cavity. She swallowed, if she hadn't been thrown away by Tinny in time, would she have been in the lumen of the vine?
This way of killing is no different from snakes, is they related to each other?
"Two mouthfuls of powerful food came to it, and I was able to avoid the perception of the snake all the way. Who are you?" In the dark, the loud voice of a beast shook the eardrums, and it was only an echo, and the deity slowly moved to this side, and then stopped in the dark place, without showing his face.
"What's that?" she asked quietly.
Ting Ni frowned, who was she asking? She bowed her head to the other side, obviously not asking him.
"The smell of lions, goats, and ......," she said repeating someone's words, and finally said in surprise, "What? Isn't it like you, your kind?"
"Shut up. The other party was furious, trying to stop the unknown thing from revealing its identity.
As soon as Yue's voice fell, the darkness spewed fire at them.
Ting Ni opened her cloak and shrunk her feet, only a little green was still where they stood, and the surroundings were reduced to ashes almost instantly.
"You've brought gluttony in!" Ting Ni scolded the shrine maiden.
"Nonsense, keep your eyes open and look at it, it's obviously a tame goat from the human world. She touched the goat's horns and pulled the goat out of its shadow.
Gluttony tilted his head and winked at Tinny.
Baa ββγ
"Are there any sharp-toothed goats in the human world?"
"This is, new breed, new breed!"
