Chapter 17: The Old Forest of the Ghost Domain
At the same time, in addition to Chivero, there is also Orvilles, who is trying to rescue Daria. He didn't enter www.biquge.info same place as Chiviro, he was at the boundary between the Emperor Rota and the Ghost Domain, that is, the south gate of the Ghost Domain, which was guarded by the blue-faced dragon general Lan Liao.
He didn't know the way, he had been asking around the Dark City for the past few days, and the woodcutters around the Ghost Domain who believed in the Taiji Sect told him how to get to the Ghost Domain with a frightened look, and advised him with good intentions not to ask for trouble, but Orvilles only regarded their words as a joke and did not follow them at all.
When night fell, Orvilles rode a horse into the ghost realm on his own with Lan Liao's permission.
The peaks of the ghost domain shine brightly, from the first peak demon to the eighth peak between the clouds and greens, there is an endless ghost domain old forest in the two poor mountains of the ghost road, the old forest has a history of thousands of years, there are many kinds of trees in the forest, oak trees, beech trees, paulownia trees, mountain poplars and two kinds of ghost domain unique black skin iron trees and red skin blood trees are the majority, this piece of old forest is thousands of miles in circumference, there is no end, the trees in the forest are tall, the branches are staggered and horizontal, and the road is not seen.
Orwells looked at the bottom of the mountain before entering the forest, at the highest point at the end of the horizon, where the peak stands, a black stone castle stood majestically, and at the top of the castle stood a sculpture of an orc who looked up to the sky and roared, the orc's mouth spewed blue fire, and the castle was also lit up with green light, and the lights on the small streets down the mountain were sparsely lit.
He stood in the mountain stream in front of the old forest, and the night gradually fell silent, and the cold and unspoken voice came from the forest, accompanied by the cold current and the cry of the black crow, which made people frightened. Orvilles didn't think much of it, and rode his horse into the forest.
At the foot of Molai Peak, there is a large wooden house in a row, which connects the mountain road with the old forest, and the forest keepers of the 12 major clans have lived here for a long time. In order to prevent foreign objects from entering, their houses were surrounded by reinforced and raised walls.
At this moment, the night was silent, and an open fire was lit in the house. A long-bearded graybeard lay on a dimly lit bed in the hall, his double-edged axe on his left, and a sixteen-year-old man sitting in a chair muttered to himself, describing his emaciation, and his dagger beside the chair. The two were dressed in dark gray linen robes, which were the most common attire of the forest guards.
"Hey, Caesar, what are you talking about? Grab your weapons, we're leaving. Graybeard said.
"No, old Leto, I'm very good! I just thought that it would be best if we could catch a monster in the mountains, and we should occasionally taste the meat that tastes the smell of the smell. ”
"Don't think about it, better not think about it, you wild child! your childish dangerous thoughts will kill you. ”
"But, old Leto, can't you even think about it?"
"Of course, I can't even think about it, I told you, it's a nightmare of living things, there are many kinds of mountain monsters, blue, red, white, gray, bloody mouths, especially fierce, we can't name them are called mountain monsters. Their nests are in the darkness that we cannot see, for if we had seen them, we would have died. Leto recounted.
"Hey, Leto, it's your turn today, it's time. Someone in the back room reminded.
"Yes, sir, go now. Leto got up, picked up the axe, took out the short dagger from the wooden box on the table, and hung it on his waist, "Take your things, the night is unpredictable, you must regard every forest patrol as a journey of life and death, and concentrate on every terrifying life, so that you will have a chance to survive." ”
With that, he strode the door open, followed by Caesar.
"Lock all the doors, damn it!" came from inside the room.
"Silly, no one forgets habits!" Caesar scolded back, and the shadows of the two faded into the deep forest.
Orwells walked through the woods, and at first there was a narrow path, but soon the path was covered by verdant vegetation, and Orwells had to dismount and make a way. After a moment of progress, the endless forest lost him.
The branches in the forest were vertical and horizontal, the fallen leaves were all over the ground, and there was a glimmer of light falling from the gaps in the trees, but the old forest was dark and blue, and the black crows were crying desolately, and the cold current was running in the forest, more like the breathing of the devil.
Bang!
Suddenly, in the depths of the rustling old forest, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps, heavy steps, obviously a behemoth. Orvilles paused, looked around, drew his broadsword, and cut off the branches of the trees around him that might have been an obstacle to his chopping. The black hussar's horse neighed uneasily, and Orvilles pulled it in one hand, and it panicked to leave its master.
Deeper in the old forest, rangers Leto and Caesar walked slowly along the path. Ahead, the moonlight fell on the cyan rock, showing a different color, Caesar stepped forward, Leto has been patrolling the forest for more than ten years, he has rich experience, and he raised an axe to stop Leto, "Follow me, don't look around to expose yourself to those novel places, the mountain monsters also like there." ”
Caesar obeyed, he had only been here for a few weeks, and he wanted to gain some experience here in Leto. The two walked for another moment, and Leto, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Do you hear me? Caesar. ”
"I heard it, there was a clear movement, the sound of horses chirping, it was from that side. Caesar pointed to the south, "Is it an intruder?"
"It must be, it's the sound of a black hussar, it's a rare good horse. Leto's face was solemn.
"It's finally here, it's a rare honor!" Caesar couldn't contain the excitement in his heart and hurried forward.
"Caesar!" Leto did not hold him back, and before he could finish the rest of his words, Caesar ran away, and in his anxiety he had to catch up.
Caesar ran to Orvilles, but saw a brown long-haired mob biting the flesh of the black hussar's warhorse, the mounk was seven feet tall, it had a long serrated snake-like tail, its claws and fangs were like razors, and when it saw someone coming, the mountain monster's black eyes were fixed on Caesar.
Caesar was short of breath and relented, and the mountain monster threw out its long tail and knocked down the trees without any effort to hold Caesar to the wide open mouth, Caesar struggled desperately, but to no avail.
At this time, Leto rushed forward, and Caesar was covered in blood and had already swallowed half of it. He stared at the scene, the double-edged axe in his hand fell to the ground, turned around, and ran back in frantically.
Later in the night, Leto lay down beside a gravel-high well in the courtyard of the townhouse, and the forest inspector woke him up with a bucket of water.
"You've met the mountain monster, but what about Caesar?" asked the chief, sitting in the chair in front of him.
Leto awoke, rubbing his head with one hand, saw the other ten rangers standing in front of him.
"When we heard the restless movement in the woods, we rushed at once, and you fainted under a dead old oak tree. "But what about Caesar?" the forest inspector asked.
"Dead, don't mention him, swallowed alive by the mountain monster, I don't want to mention that scene again, please, not once, I was already stupid at the time, I don't know how I ran back, I just felt that something was chasing me from behind, I lost consciousness completely, I crashed into an old tree full of folds, fainted, and now I was rescued by you, I didn't feel it at that time, if there was, I should be glad I didn't feel it. I now know that it was the mountain wind chasing me, ******! The mountain wind also has a ghost-like cry!"
"Don't talk about these stupid things, you idiot, isn't it shameful enough?"
"Shame on me, I've never been so scared in all the years I've been here. It was the ignorant wild child who unscrupulously broke into this mountain forest, attracted the mountain monster to come, and took pity on the good horse. ”
"What about that person?"
"He should have died a long time ago, and the mountain monster must have swallowed him first, but he was innocent of death, and he took us alone, and I almost died, if it weren't for the fact that the mountain monster was too unable to walk or was attracted by the fresh meat in front of him. ”
"Good death, it's not a big deal, I mean Caesar's boy, he tiptoes and his mind is full of bastard thoughts, my precious medal, which my grandfather got during the Feather Demon War, must have been stolen by him. A night watchman scolded.
"Shut up! If you say that, I'll be glad you're dead. The officer said, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "The intruder is from Diirota?"
"Well, I guess, that dead horse is a good breed of Deirota. Leto said.
"And the fool left behind a knife, which was caused by the smelting technique of Tyrota. Another said.
"Sooner or later, Diorota will also be our fertile ground!" the officer said. (To be continued.) )
