Chapter 7: Behind the Thorn Vine Forest
Saying goodbye to Zeqi, Selene cried all the way to the top of the mountain, but she didn't find any obstacles along the way, and she successfully reached the top of the mountain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info It was already dark at this point, and after a short rest, she kept calling Zareth's name and began to look around for Zareth, and after a while she got a response from Zareth.
It turned out that Zareth had reached the top of the mountain earlier, and was waiting at the other end, and when he heard Selene's voice, he ran over.
When the two met, Zareth looked around and complained, "My brother is slower than us, he hasn't arrived yet." ”
"Your brother has gone first. Selene said lightly.
Zareth was puzzled, obviously it was his brother who said that everyone should meet at the first mountain, and then the three of them walked together, but why did his brother leave first at this time, he asked, "How do you know? You have already met him?"
"Uh...... Well, I'm next to him on the mountain, and we'll meet as soon as we go up the mountain, and halfway there, he suddenly ran away with a boy, and dropped a sentence saying let me join you alone, don't wait for him any longer, he will wait for us at the end. "Selene had already made up lies on the road.
"How?" Zareth was puzzled.
"I don't know, I'll have to ask him why when I get to the end. Hmph!" Selene pretended to be angry, but sadness drifted in her eyes.
"Brother, why is this!" Zareth frustrated, "So what do we do now?"
Selene thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still have the spirit now, can you still hurry?"
Having just climbed to the top of the mountain, her legs are now sore.
"Yes. I just rested for a while. Zareth said.
Selene nodded slightly, "We'll either move on and make it to the top of the second mountain overnight, or we'll find a place to sleep for the night and then head out the next day." ”
"Keep going. "We're going to get to the top of the second mountain one step ahead of my brother." ”
"Okay, I'm about to ask him for an answer. But before that, I need to eat something and take a break. ”
"Hmm. ”
Selene found a place to sit down, took out the wheat cake in the package, and ate it.
And until this time, Zeqi had been bound by the thorn vines for nearly two hours.
The moonlight was bright, the night was quiet, and Zeqi had never spent the night on such a mountain.
He found that as long as he didn't move, the thorny vines that were wrapped around him would slowly relax, so that he wouldn't be in the same pain as before. Due to the need to stay still, he has been exerting his physical strength, and the slightest movement will be strangled by the thorny vines that continue to wrap around. By this time he was tired, sleepy, and in pain. Finally, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
However, in his sleep, he was no longer aware of the fact that he could not move. I don't know if I want to turn around, or because I want to close my hands because of the cold, he moved in his sleep, and the thorny vines felt his movements, and they clung wildly around again.
"Ahh
Screams resounded through the moonlit night.
He was awakened by the pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his lips had already turned pale. Unable to move or sleep, he was in great pain right now.
But at this moment, the thorny vines that wrapped around his hands and body suddenly loosened, except for the thorny vines that wrapped around his feet.
Puzzled in his heart, he sat up and looked at the thorn vines around him, these thorn vines were as thick as his two thumbs, and there were many small green leaves growing on the vines, and some of the vines were still growing trumpet-shaped small red flowers, and some of the small red flowers were growing under the vines.
However, Zeqi was not most concerned about the appearance of the vines, and he now wondered why the thorny vines suddenly loosened. According to the little boy, the thorn vine was not conscious, and would not actively entangle himself if he did not touch it, but at first he was entangled by a thorn vine that actively crawled over him. Forget it, the strangest thing is that the thorny vines that have been wrapping around themselves for nearly two hours now suddenly let go at the time of their most pain, and only let go of their hands and body, but not on their feet.
Zeqi thought for a long time, if it wasn't for the thorn vines that had active consciousness, it would be ......
He suddenly shouted into the air, "It doesn't matter who you are. Come out, don't you get bored all the time hiding it?"
The night was quiet, and his voice was so loud that anyone nearby would be able to hear him.
However, no one responded to him.
He thought for a moment, felt that his guess would not be wrong, and then shouted, "I know, you're here." ”
Didn't respond.
"It's a long night, let's come out and talk for a while. ”
Didn't respond.
"I'm like this, is it possible that I'm still a threat to you?"
At this moment, a voice rang out from the other end of the thorny vine-dense area.
"How did you know I was here?"
The voice sounded like that of a little girl about ten years old.
Zeqi was very excited, and it seemed that his guess was correct, and said, "It's not you, how can you let the thorny vines on my body loosen, isn't it?"
"You're smart. The little girl said in a faint voice.
"If you can manipulate the magic plant, you are even more powerful. Why don't you come out and see you?"
"Still not!" the girl's voice was resolute.
Zeqi laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a slave, and I'm bound by you, so I can't hurt you." ”
"Of course not, I don't want you to see me. ”
"Forget it. Zeqi no longer insisted, "You should be a student of the Douqi Academy, right?
"It's true that I'm a student of the Douqi Academy, but I wasn't arranged by the academy. I have planted this thorn vine for almost a year, and I have never been wound with anything alive, today I heard that a candidate came to the mountain to take the exam, and I came to see the winding effect of this thorn vine. Hey. The little girl smiled.
"It's been almost a year, and you've never been entangled in anything alive?" Zeqi wondered, "Isn't there ever an animal or monster in the mountains that has ever touched these thorny vines?"
"Warcraft? hahaha. The little girl laughed and said, "There are no magical beasts in the mountain behind the academy at all, let alone magical beasts, not even ordinary and larger animals." And small animals such as rats and snakes will not be entangled in thorny vines at all. ”
"There are no monsters, but before we went up the mountain, the teacher clearly said that there were, and told us to be careful. Zeqi clearly remembered that the invigilator said that there were monsters in the mountains.
"I didn't know," said the little girl, "that the teacher must have scared you." I grew up in the academy since I was a child, and now I have been in the academy for seven or eight years, and I have never heard of a demonic beast infesting the mountain behind the academy, and even if there is, it will be captured or killed by the teachers and students of the academy, otherwise how to ensure the safety of the students of the academy. ”
"Oh. Zeqi thought to himself that this little girl had grown up in the academy since she was a child, and she was either a direct descendant of the Norton family or the child of a nobleman. It shouldn't seem like she's lying to him when she says that, and there's no need to lie to him.
"Okay, I won't talk to you, I've already observed the winding effect of the thorn vines, this thorn vine is estimated to not live for a few days, I have to quickly collect some vines. You do me a favor, I'll let you go. The little girl said.
When Zeqi heard that he was going to let him go, he suddenly became energetic, "No problem. How to help, you say. ”
"Help me pick some vines. ”
"Will it haunt me again?"
"Of course, I would, or I'd ask you to help me. The girl cried.
Zeqi wondered, "Don't you know how to control vines?"
"This ......"
