Chapter 130: Building One
"What does the small print next to the big word say?"
Unexpectedly, he met a demon who didn't know how to read, and the snake looked at the doorstone in embarrassment.
- Please, please follow the in, please inward, huh...... such
Yue looked at the snake on the doorstone, it was a long-nosed snake beast with a black back and yellow belly, the size of a human-world python, with a well-proportioned body, slender and flattened, when twisting its body, it was elegant and capable, and there were yellow spots on its tail, and its color was lighter than that of its body.
The long kiss that finished the sentence opened her big timid eyes and mustered up the courage to respond to her gaze.
After three seconds of expressionlessness, she couldn't help but smile.
"You're lying. ”
The long-snouted snake beast was furious and rushed towards Yue, wrapping her whole body tightly around her in one fell swoop, and under the moonlight, it raised its slender forebody, ready to open its mouth to eat its prey.
But he froze as he spit out the letter.
The scales on its body were clinging to her skin, almost leaving scars on her pink skin, but she still maintained a calm smile, she couldn't feel her rapid heartbeat or breathing, and her body temperature didn't drop.
She's not afraid? Why? And ...... It exclaimed.
- Do you understand me?
"Haven't we been talking?"
- But you didn't recite the spell on the gatestone.
The understanding of the snake beast is that those spells are only the ability to obtain the beast's language.
The long-snouted snake beast looked at her condescendingly, and the moonlight fell on the elegant and peaceful smiling face, it could feel that she was different, different from those murderous demons, and the touch of clarity in her eyes was not something it could understand, but it was full of kindness.
It unconsciously loosened its entanglement, and lowered its head until it could be eye level with hers.
A man and a snake looked into the pure eyes of both sides, stunned, and then all doubts disappeared, and they hugged each other sympathetically, it was the witch who was entangled by the sea snake.
- Miss, why are you here? You can't come here! But what can I do, I can't go back.
She looked up and gave the long-snouted sea snake a reassuring smile.
"It's okay, just go according to your original plan. ”
- But the young lady can't read the words on the doorstone, can she?
Ah, at this time, you will lament the luck of the illiterate. Just read the inscription on the doorstone and the curse begins.
"Then skip that step, what do you do next?"
The long-snouted sea snake asked earnestly as he lowered his head uneasily and rubbed her cheek.
- Are you sure?
She nodded, and the mask of her backpack fell silent.
The cute long kiss crooked her neck before she straightened up.
- Obey then, by thy will, and I will lead thee into the One, Horn Tower, where thou hast surely been, the destination of thy journey?
The shy snake beast, still silently reciting a somewhat rusty line in its mouth, then went around to the top of her head, opened its big mouth, showed its fangs, and the upper groove that secreted venom was ready-
Oh!
Elsewhere, yes! Absolutely!
What happens if you say no?
"Yes, since we're all here, let's visit first, I'm going to Building One, right?"
The snake beast nodded.
Seeing that she denied, it pretended to be a mournful face, tugged in, and let go of its coiled body, retracting from her body to the ground.
- Miss's decision is Building One, please come with me.
The snake walked to the front to lead the way, and let out a sad cry of disappointment along the way.
Is this a show? Is it going to cry all the way? What a dedication!
I almost cried when I looked at her!
"Do you have to do this?"
- Yes. I can't make my brother suspicious. Remember, don't let your brother find out before you enter the castle, or he'll eat you.
The place they're going to is the castle!
Going around to the entrance of the city gate behind the gatestone, the snake ran to the front, it looked back at Yue, and got her approval, it quickened its pace.
Following the snake's tail, through the city gate, first entered an ancient street with seven turns and eighteen turns, so silent that even the sound of footsteps echoed, the ground was uneven, the houses on both sides had collapsed, the walls were crooked, and even the walls were overgrown with long grass, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.
It looks like a weak little snake, but it can run fast. As they left the abandoned streets, the moon had moved directly above the city, and the scenery became more and more open, and hundreds of pebbled paths winded up into the unknown distance. She tripped over a cocked pebble, only to see that the pebbles were shells. Between the roads are small hills made of various types of corals, or more appropriately coral reefs, and coral trees in the distance.
The spectacular spectacle that you haven't just seen at the bottom of the sea can be made up here at one time.
So here...... Once under the sea?
She approached a piece of coral, which was swaying and swaying without wind, and they suddenly stretched out countless small tentacles to her, and she was startled and fell to the ground, these were not fossils, they were living polyps.
Why are there polyps on land?
Ignoring her stops, the long-snouted snake beast casually stepped on a path and headed straight up.
A gust of sea breeze ruffled her cloak, followed by the sound of the sea crashing against the shore, so close that the waves even swept up the path. She looked at her wet shoes and turned sharply, half of the walls in the clouds.
The walls between the gates and towers were connected to form a strong barrier to the city, and like all fortresses, the entire city was tightly enclosed, separating the two worlds.
But is the gate that high as it can be seen from the outside? And the monument is carved with a spell.
She didn't have time to delve in, she had to keep up with the snake before it disappeared.
When she saw the snake beast again, she dared to slow down, she turned around, the high wall was gone, and there was only a vast black curtain behind her.
Have they come that far?
"The castle we're going to is called Tower One?" she asked, tentatively.
- This is Building One.
Yes?
"What about Building 2?"
The long snout is pointed above the top of the head with the snake's tail finger.
There's just the sky above.
"Building 4 is also there, Building 2, Building 3 is above?"
The sea snake smiled and nodded.
Her face was covered in sweat, was the snake beast playing tricks on her, or was it God?
Recall that she originally took the whirlpool to the deep sea, how did she go to land as soon as she arrived at the city gate?
She looked up, a little helplessly at the sky, the clouds like cotton soaked in water.
It turned out that the building was not a staircase, a floor or a high-rise building, and it was she who underestimated the "building". The Land of Light is a ladder-like structure, assuming that "building" is equivalent to "city", or even refers to a plate. That's what it means.
That...... The man who came up with the name was too lazy.
"That is, you are a resident of the first floor of the Land of Light, Building One?"
- Not really. If I eat you, that's it.
The snake beast looked at her shyly, and answered weakly.
This, she directly ignored the next sentence of it, and then asked: "Then do you or the residents of Building 1 know the way to go up to Building 2?"
The snake beast shook its straight head.
- I don't know. I heard that when the whirlpool falls on Building One, the passage above will be closed.
"Is it usually closed?"
- I don't know. The gate of Building 1 is not something that can be passed at will, and we are not allowed to go to higher places.
Yue rolled her eyes, almost dizzy.
It's hard to chat with this "don't know" Miss Snake Beast!
"It's as if no demon has ever left Building One. ”
This time, Miss Snake Beast didn't sink her right away.
It was silent, and it probably wasn't a good thing.
But if she had been honest about going to Building Four, something worse would have happened.
It is a multiple-choice question with only one answer no matter what choice is made.
- Actually, I'm new here, and I haven't eaten you, so I don't know the details. Although it feels like even if it eats you, it won't know, but the elder fish knows it.
Elder fish?
The goats laughed as they ate.
She stepped on its tail! Her shadow swayed painfully in the moonlight.
"Will the Elder Fish know everything?"
- Yes, the Elder Fish once ate a very powerful demon, it is the most powerful of them all, and it is also the longest surviving.
Eat?
"Then the Elder Fish should also know the way to Building Four?"
The snake shook its head.
- We can't survive on it.
"Why?" she froze.
- Miss's question is really strange, we are aquatic, how can we survive on land without water.
Its answer is strange.
- If I eat you, it will be fine, maybe it will be.
It's this topic again, it's been brought up for the third time, and it just can't seem to let go.
Wait, they can't live on land, so what is she doing here? Can she be in the water......
But this is land.
Overhead was the sky, there were dark clouds, the moon, and the real earth beneath her feet, and she could smell the dirt, breathe the fishy smell in the air, and just now the goats also let out a painful protest. It's all true.
Isn't this land?
There are still irrationalities.
At this moment, an octopus suddenly jumped out of the air and walked upright like a human with its tentacles, coincidentally, a giant starfish did the same.
Crabs, lobsters, turtles, they have at least something like "legs". Those little fish cubs don't dare to compliment, they often can't stand steadily, they fall down with a click, and they have to struggle for a long time to get back up.
She snorted and pointed at them and laughed violently, one or two were enough, they couldn't stand it anymore.
Knowing that the laughed fish ignored her, they got up and continued on their way, as if they were all on their way.
Seeing this, she suddenly couldn't laugh.
As with the fair, all the sea beasts were moving in the central direction, and so was the snake girl, getting closer and closer to the building-like thing.
When the sun rises in the west, castles made of shells of giant shellfish come into full bloom. She could clearly see the inhabitants of the sea swimming out of the thousand-foot-high wall of water, landing directly on the path, and then moving in the same direction as they did, the castle.
Is this going to be a strange rally of monsters under the sea?
She's going to be taken to that place too??
Is this the mood?
Never before was the only one they led the way to be uneasy, but this time she was a real visitor.
