In the last few days, Neil has been pondering some questions.

The current situation is so complicated, I don't know what the world outside has become, is it really good to travel like this in Wulian alone?

Although it was said that he was held hostage by Chirez at the beginning, but now Chirez is injured and half dead, and he is in a state of freedom at all, let alone escaping, even if he wants to take off Chirez's head with his backhand, I believe there will be no problem.

Although it is not allowed to commit such a treacherous act based on the faith of being a human being, what is the point of such a time-wasting trip?

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry to ask the meaning of things, life itself has infinite meaning, just see if you have enough patience to listen. Many times, when you have enough peace of mind, the answer to life will come naturally. ”

If intentionally, if not, the one who used these words to soothe Nier's uneasiness was the gorgeous girl who always walked barefoot at the front of the line, with a light and lazy expression, called "Rou Ning".

Taking the feeling of first meeting as the first impression, this brigade commander with a strange style gives Nier a very dissolute, improper, and excessively glamorous image, even those dusty women in the willow alley of Flower Street will frown at it, Nier blushes a lot, and scolds secretly in her heart from time to time: Is this woman a nymphomaniac? Even if you want to seduce a man, dressing so exaggerated will only scare the man into running away, right?

(It's really a shemale, it's okay, it's obviously a good woman, but it's so demonic, it's really unbearable...... ）

Nier muttered in her heart, but there were many opportunities to come into contact with Yan Ning, because this mysterious head of the regiment was not only good at mathematics, but also seemed to be good at medicine, and spent time every day to help Nier raise her hands and feet, and check and heal the meridians injured by the blood crow.

Gradually, through some conversations, Nier's impression of Yan Ning changed a little, because in each conversation, Nier found that this girl, who could not tell her actual age, seemed to have some unusual past, which made her feel emotional between the lines.

And it is not the Yan Ning of the Wulian aborigines, but she seems to know the mountainous terrain here, those dense forests, there is no way to follow, under her guidance, everyone often from a bush, a few piles of dense grass, there is a path, or a curved river sheltered by dense forests and duckweed.

The feeling of exhaustion and brightness of the mountains and rivers made Niel frequently amazed, and even she had to admit embarrassedly that this novel trip had opened her eyes and was so excited that she forgot many worries for a while.

"From now on, there are many fierce beasts in the forest we have entered, not only lions and tigers, but also some troublesome things of mutant species, in order to avoid causing trouble to both parties, please take precautions with me. ”

When going deep into the mountains and mountains of Wulian, the surrounding scenery slowly changed, and even the ecological species were obviously different from the outer world, and some unimaginable things in the outer human world happened in the depths of these forests that had not seen the light of day for thousands of years.

The creatures that inhabit here are not only lions, tigers and other beasts, but also some mutants that feed on beasts, and some things that should not continue to exist in the human world for a long time. When a creature has been dead for a long time, its skeleton is in a gloomy miasma, and it has been decaying for a long time, and after a certain period of time, these foreign objects between life and death will begin to move.

They don't have the ability to think before they were alive, these foreign bodies that seem to be demons and not demons, only have the instinct to pursue blood, feed on nearby living creatures, tear and kill raw flesh, grab blood, they don't feel pain, and are ten times more ferocious than before they were alive, fortunately, these foreign bodies have no vision, and most of the time they can't leave a fixed range, so they are not a deep disaster, but for the beasts or merchants who want to move nearby, these foreign bodies are an unpredictable dangerous trap.

The first time she heard that Wu Lian actually had these things, Nier couldn't believe her ears. It's not the period of the Kyushu War, how can there still be such a thing in the human world now?

"Don't doubt it, city girl, leaving the civilization you know, this world has its real side, but you never want to face it in the city. ”

Yan Ning said this, and the coping method she taught everyone was even more strange than Nier had ever seen before: everyone took out a few palm-sized green leaves from their bags, carefully tied them to the soles of their shoes, and after they were firmly fixed, they marched boldly.

When Niel was assigned to the leaf, she took a special look at the leaf, although she didn't know the spell, she still felt that there was some kind of energy flowing on the leaf, obviously she had been spelled, but what the effect of this spell was, it was not for her to see.

"Be prepared for this, and when we move in the forest, the beasts will only hear the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other, and will not notice that it is a human walking, so we can pass quickly under the cover of the sound of the leaves. ”

"You...... Miss Yan Ning, you should be very strong, right? It is not difficult for you to destroy those things that are attacking, why don't you ......?"

Nier's words contained other meanings, because even if Yan Ning didn't move, most of her injuries had healed, and she could easily clear all the obstacles, and she didn't need to be so cringe.

However, Yan Ning only smiled at this request.

"Little girl from the city, don't let what you see with your eyes easily blind the truth of the facts, I'm just an outsider, not as strong as you think, and ...... No matter how strong you are, a newcomer to a foreign country should learn to respect the local situation, and don't arbitrarily influence and change the cycle accumulated for thousands of years before understanding it clearly. ”

"Loop?"

"The ecology that has accumulated over thousands of years is a sacred cycle of equilibrium. Don't you understand? Then let me give you a suggestion, don't you think you should give a little more respect to something that even Wang Wu has never tried to change?"

Thinking that this was very reasonable, Nier began to enter the country to follow the customs, stepping on the shoes tied to the green leaves, and going deep into the dense forest with the brigade.

Regardless of whether Yan Ning's words really "make sense", Nier did make some discoveries after entering the woods, all the creatures and dead things were unaware of the passage of her group, and when she passed by the grass not far in front of them, they continued to lie under the trees to perch, or tear their prey. If you use the power of heaven to kill as soon as you enter, you will definitely not be able to observe these things properly.

The whole forest has a wonderful ecosystem of its own, especially when a rhinoceros-like behemoth passes in front of Niel, half of its body is majestic and mighty, and the other half is completely only bones, only some unrotted stinky flesh sticks to the skeleton, and half of her eyes are still looking at this side blankly, Niel has a strange and wonderful feeling, as if she is not in the world, but has returned to the underground of Shangri-La, or the demon world in people's mouths.

"By the way, you said that the destination you want to go to is the Congo Autonomous Region on the border between El Tino and Wulian, that place is very large, what is the exact location?"

"To the east of the Congo district, under the Huaguo Mountain, a small town called "Shuilian", there is...... My hometown. ”

"Oh, hometown, you don't look like you have orc blood...... However, it is true that the Congolese Autonomous Region is a border, and there are quite a few people living there. ”

During everyone's journey, occasionally there were scattered blood crows flying in the sky, obviously Shi Chong had not given up his intention to track the target, but the forest was dense, and it was difficult to find people from above and down, and with Ye Sheng as a cover, the blood crow flock all returned in vain, and Nier and his party were not found.

(Phew, that's lucky, if you fight again, it will be very troublesome...... ）

Without the obstacle of the blood crow group, this journey is still not smooth, because Yan Ning is a very leisurely leader, no matter where he goes, he must stop and rest every day, drink tea three times, lay a cushion under the tree, take out the tea he carries, boil the water, and taste the tea carefully, until the interest is satisfied, and then he will go on the road again with everyone.

Since more than half of the members of the brigade were elderly, they were already moving slowly, and they needed to rest often, so it was difficult for even Niel to protest anything.

"There are three of the most wonderful things in life: drinking tea, bathing, and kissing, and I don't want to compromise even if I die. ”

During the journey, Yan Ning explained this very recklessly, and in fact, it was true, in addition to drinking tea, Yan Ning must find a place to take a bath every day. She is very familiar with the geography of this area, and can always find the nearest hot spring to bathe in every day when she camps and rests.

Her habit made Niel very choked, because when she used to be a horse thief in the territory of Altinor, Nier was so clean that she wanted to bathe as much as possible every day, but the brothers of the forty thieves were all men, and there was nowhere to find warm water, so they could only scoop water in the cold mountain stream.

Although the average physical strength of the group members is not good, and they are embarrassed to trek, but Yan Ning can always find some paths or streams through the mountains, and use smooth shortcuts to make up for the drag of slow travel, and the journey is half a day faster than the normal speed.

On the way, Nier's injuries gradually healed, even if she encountered enemies again, she was not afraid, and what made her even happier was that the demonic mutation on her arm had improved, and the outburst of true qi in her body had stopped, which made her henchman have been solved.

"Don't rejoice too early, because the physical changes caused by the external force are like a gear that is pushed, even if the external force disappears, the gear that has begun to rotate will not stop because of this, you have to find the center of the gear to find a way to stop it...... Or, it's not bad to just turn around, as long as a woman is willing to work hard, no matter what she becomes, she will be a big beauty. ”

Due to the treatment, all the changes in Nier's body fell in Yan Ning's eyes, but she didn't have any special reaction when she witnessed these unusual changes, but instead made Nier, who was originally nervous, at a loss, and couldn't help but ask questions secretly after several days.

"You...... Don't you think that's weird? My hand ......."

"Is there anything unusual about your hands? Are they darker? Or are your nails longer? What's so great about that, I'm darker than it when I put on clay, and longer than when I don't cut my nails!"

"However, most people should think that ......"

"Little girl, Wu Lian is not a human world, the concept of ordinary human beings does not apply here, no matter how turbulent the world outside is, here, you are just a member of my brigade, nothing special. ”

Of course, Nier knew that this was not the case, in the entire Wind Continent, "Demon Race" was a taboo term, even if it was changed to martial arts. However, hearing an outsider who is not her own family or friend say this, Nier still feels good, and this generous acceptance has somewhat eliminated some of the uneasiness in her heart.

"But...... That companion of mine...... Don't you think it's strange? He has long nails, long fangs, and black wings on his back, and he doesn't look like a human at all, don't those old grandfathers think it's strange?"

"Oh, they, the first day I met you, I thought it was strange, but soon they found out on their own. ”

Yan Ning turned her head to speak, and in the moment she turned sideways, the thin silk clothes fluttered lightly and loomed, making Nier feel her blush and heartbeat again, but the slender hair that brushed through her snow-white skin and the soft bright phoenix eyes also made Nier admire Yan Ning's beauty, and she didn't know when she would have that kind of beauty depth.

The old people think...... The nails are long for the convenience of hugging, the fangs are long for the convenience of kissing, and the wings are ...... That's so that when the two of you love each other, you can be happy enough to fly to the sky, so there is nothing strange about these things, just proof that a man and a woman are in love. ”

"Wait, wait a minute, what kind of Little Red Riding Hood theory are you? The demons are annoying enough, don't just mix people together!"

"Hahahaha......"

Yan Ning raised her head and laughed, and walked at the front of the team, the chic posture of brushing her sleeves like a cloud and advancing and retreating like the wind gave Nier a deep impression. I have seen a lot of beautiful women, each of whom has a unique sense of beauty, but this "boring" girl wandering in the mountains and wilderness is blooming with different styles and glamorous postures every moment, and her appearance is similar to that of a fox, but the changes in style are uncertain, but she is like a cat who does not want to be stereotyped.

It was indeed very pleasant to meet such a person, but she was still a little puzzled, where did this strange person come from? From her proficiency and familiarity with magic, Nier had some speculations, because magic is like the ancient magic way, it is not taught everywhere, if it is the Oriental Immortal Technique, then the source can only come from one place......

※※※

As the journey came to an end, on the afternoon of the seventh day of departure, they left the waterway, packed up their boats, tied leaves to their feet, and prepared to go on another journey.

"Aren't you drinking tea in the evening?"

Yan Ning didn't answer Nier's question directly, but just stretched out her jade-carved white fingers and pointed to the mountain peak in front of her.

"The other side of Ruyu Feng is the Congo Autonomous Region, if you want to cross the mountains, it will take three or five days, but we will cross the underground stream under the mountain, and we will arrive at Huaguo Mountain in about a day, so if it goes well, your journey will be over tomorrow. ”

Suddenly, when she heard that the trip was coming to an end, even though it was a matter of course, Niel was still a little stunned and reluctant, always feeling that the trip would continue, and she would be surrounded by this warm and pleasant atmosphere, and every day seemed to be living in a leisurely spring breeze, waiting for the arrival of a vibrant summer.

From a distance, the cliffs such as jade feng are vertical and isolated, obliquely reflecting the sun, shining with white and transparent colors, on the lonely mountain top, there are almost no animals and plants in sight, only haze and white snow spread on the top of the peak, and a sparse forest that is not wide, there is a particularly tall sacred tree, standing proudly on the top of the mountain, facing the sunshine alone, even if it is a mountain away, Nier can also feel the vigorous vitality of the sacred tree.

"That's ......"

"Oh, that's the name of the famous landmark in this area, the name of the tree...... Huh, you don't know, do you?

When asked like this, Nier was really confused, she didn't know what the sacred tree was called, and she was about to ask, when a burst of cold air suddenly blew in her ears, and a voice like a moan, sounded gloomily.

“...... Don't come closer, legendary...... Under that tree, the dead are buried......"

When I looked back, a miserable white face was close by, staring faintly, that kind of gloomy expression, just like the Hua ghost woman under the grass, Nier screamed as if she had seen a ghost fire, but as soon as she screamed, her lips were immediately hot, and she was kissed firmly, and her whole body was hot and lost her strength.

"Alas, it happened again, the hot kiss of the head of the regiment, every time it was so powerful......"

"Why is the little girl in the city shaking? Even the roots of her ears are red? Her concentration seems to be getting worse and worse!"

The head of the regiment has always been very good at taking young girls to another world, and since the past, there have always been many little girls who ask the captain to take them to heaven. ”

"If you can survive to this day, this little girl's self-control is not bad, you shouldn't forget it, right? Last time, whose daughter-in-law from whose village got married, she was kissed by the head of the regiment, so her legs straightened, and after getting up and dumping the groom, she asked the head of the regiment to take her to Elysium. ”

"yes, what a bliss......"

The whispers of the old men could not reach Nier's chaotic head, and every time it was like this, after being kissed, his limbs were so full of limbs for a long time that he could not lift his fingers at all, and it was not until a moment later that he stood up with red cheeks, and ran away in shame in the sympathetic eyes of everyone.

"Uh......h It's terrible! How can you kiss someone like this without saying a word? I was kidnapped and forced to come here! If this continues, if this continues, people will go to Elysium to engage in forbidden love......

Nier's protest was never fruitful, because every time Yan Ning succeeded in stealing a kiss, she quickly slipped away, like a successful flower thief who stole incense, leaving nothing real except nostalgia.

"No, you must make it clear today, and she won't be allowed to mess around again tomorrow. ”

Nier, who was determined to get rid of the rose-colored forbidden romance, asked where Ming Ning was, but she was surprised that she went to visit Chirez in a coma alone, and she was frightened and hurried over.

(Too careless, I always thought she was a good person, I didn't think of it...... ）

With a burst of anger about being betrayed, Nier arrived at once, just in time to see Qi Ning sitting on a big rock, Qi Ning's unconscious body lay flat on the ground, Qi Ning raised his right hand, his five fingers were slightly open, and a thick inky black gas came out of the palm of Bai Yu's palm, slowly floating in front of Qi Lei, and was quickly absorbed by him.

There was no need to look closely, Nier also knew that it was demonic energy, and the intensity was extremely amazing, except for the heirs of the orthodox Heavenly Demon Skill, no one could cast such a strong demonic energy, in other words, this woman finally revealed her true face.

"You!"

Niel roared angrily, like an angry lioness who used the Heavenly Demon Skill, and was about to make a move, but Chires's body in front of her changed, quickly turning from pale to lifelike black, but also from the original human form to shrink sharply, almost in the blink of an eye, into a black cat with batwing on its back.

"Meow!"

Even if it is a black cat, the violent nature of the beast cannot be ignored, and the awakened Chireth seems to recognize Qi Ning, and immediately screams at her, making a vicious attack.

As Niel didn't know how to react, Chirez squeaked as if she had touched an invisible grid, and was bounced off and rolled back to Niel's feet, where she was protected by Nile taking a step forward.

"Don't hurt him, he's my ......"

The word "friend" was speechless for a while, and Nier paused, and the cold and calm in front of her opened her mouth as usual.

"The demonic energy is coming from you, and when I transferred it to your friend, I controlled the weight, and he could only wake up in this form for the time being, and he couldn't do great evil. Time has dragged on for too long, and if he is not woken up, he and the other person connected to his brain waves will have physical damage, do so...... Do you have any comments?"

No opinion, but Neil still has doubts.

"You...... Who the hell is it?"

This question was also delayed for too long, and she couldn't wait any longer, but Yan Ning didn't seem to understand Nier's eagerness, and didn't answer with a smile, but just raised her hand to ask her to come closer.

"Little girl, I'm in a good mood today, do you want to come and listen to me tell a story?"

Niel hesitated a little, not knowing whether to move or not, and Chires, who fell next to her feet, suddenly clawed hard at the ground.

(What is he doing?) There's no treasure on the ground and no, he's ...... ）

Instead of simply grabbing the ground, Chireth used his cat's paw to write an ugly word on the ground, and Nill could only vaguely see that it was a "Tao" word.

Suddenly, a thought rushed through Niel's mind like an electric current, and she thought of some ridiculous, grotesque and strange question.

If it is said that all the practitioners of the Oriental Immortal Technique are related to the White Deer Cave, then is there any big man in the White Deer Cave who should have extraordinary strength but has never seen it before?

Although she was only known and never actually met, Niel did know that there was such a character, and that person's name was ......

(No material...... Bored...... Mr. Goyanagi...... ）

When the answer came out in an unbelievable way, it was ten times more shocked than before, leaving Niel almost speechless.

"You...... You are the former head of the White Deer Cave, Mr. Wuliu Tao...... Pottery...... However, the man was a man......"

"There is always a gap between what you read in textbooks and reality...... I'm going to start by saying that I'm not a shemale!"

The end of volume 11 of "The True Story of Style".
