Travels in the Western Continent Chapter 35 Encounter with the Yakshas
Han Nuo had prepared some talismans in advance, and then replaced them with Sky Armor and waited at the entrance of the cave with both swords in his hands, while Cheng Xiu summoned a bell-shaped magic weapon. The two of them watched as the large rock blocked at the entrance of the cave was easily pried open by the enemy outside, and a light shone into the cave from the outside.
Then a green-skinned strange man appeared in the light, and when he saw the two people in the cave, he opened his big mouth with fangs and roared inside. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Nuo pointed at his two swords, and a hundred and ten lightsabers shot out. Seeing this, the green-skinned monster crossed his arms forward, only to see the lightsabers clanging into his body, and the skin did not even break a bit.
Although Han Nuo knew the chicken ribs of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, he couldn't break the ordinary defensive spell, and now he couldn't even break the skin of this green-skinned stranger, which made Han Nuo instantly dumbfounded. Without saying a word, he greeted the strange man with a bunch of middle-level talismans, but the mud cow entered the sea with little effect.
The green-skinned monster withstood the wave of attacks, grinned at the two people in the cave and rushed in. Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Nuo immediately made the unearthed escape technique run towards the feet of the big man. Unexpectedly, the big man leaned down, and his hand was inserted into the ground and Han Nuo was dragged upside down.
Before Han Nuo could react, the big man carried him and fell back and forth on the ground a few times, although he tried his best to drive the spiritual power to protect his body, he was still smashed to the ground. Seeing that Han Nuo lost his mobility for a short time, the big man took out a ring-shaped object from behind him without saying a word and locked it on Han Nuo's neck. For some reason, when he put on this ring, Han Nuo felt that the spiritual power in his body suddenly seemed to disappear.
Cheng Xiu, who watched all this happen, silently put away the bell magic device, and fell to the ground tremblingly, allowing the green-skinned strange man to put the same ring on him.
The green-skinned weirdos roared out with delight, and then two more weirdos came in. The two of them grabbed Han Nuo and Cheng Xiu out of the cave respectively like chickens, while the people behind them wiped out all the things Han Nuo and the others left in the cave.
Han Nuo, who was caught, memorized the route from the cave to the camp of the strange man along the way, and was a little embarrassed that he didn't do a good job of reconnaissance in advance, so that he was captured so easily. On the other side, Cheng Xiu was trembling all the time, obviously he was more afraid of the current situation.
Once back at the camp, the weirdos threw Han Nuo and the others into a strange cave. The floor of the cavern was painted with some messy runes of some unknown paint, indicating that the green-skinned monster had its own civilization. The entrance to the cave was blocked by some bone-like fence with similar runes painted on it.
After a while, many green-skinned weirdos came to watch the two. They were pointing at each other, as if they were comparing Han Nuo and Cheng Xiu to see who had the tastier meat. When they looked at Han Nuo, Han Nuo also looked at them. To Han Nuo's surprise, several of these strange people were children, and their appearances were somewhat similar to humans.
It didn't take long for the green-skinned monster who had grabbed Han Nuo to come over, and he handed out some of the bamboo tubes that Han Nuo had left in the cave to the onlookers, and sent them away. Then he motioned for Han Nuo to come to him, and Han Nuo hesitated for a moment and walked over.
The green-skinned monster wasn't very rude, but opened the fence and led Hanno to the center of the camp, where a large group of greenskins were sitting. And in the center of them, there are all kinds of kitchen utensils scavenged from Hannuo Cave.
"Whoa!" The green-skinned monster pointed to Han Nuo's pot, scraped it with his fingers, then put it in his mouth and smacked it, and then pointed to a huge sea fish on the ground. Han Nuo glanced at him, then at the fish, and almost understood what the other party meant.
I saw that the strange man beckoned to a female weirdo next to him, and the female weirdo came over, "You...... Boil...... We...... Eating fish, it's not good...... We...... Eat you. This female weirdo actually said a few human words, which surprised Han Nuo.
Han Nuo's eyes rolled and he pointed in the direction of the cave, "He...... Helper. The female weirdo immediately turned her head and spoke to her companion, and after a while, Cheng Xiu was also brought here.
So Han Nuo and the two began to cook the fish under the watchful eyes of a group of green-skinned weirdos. Fortunately, Han Nuo had studied the recipes he had bought in Sindh Town beforehand, and the spices used for cooking were not put in the storage bag, so a sumptuous seafood feast was soon displayed in front of everyone.
The green-skinned freaks were satisfied, and they let Hanno and the others eat something as well, and locked them back in the cave.
Over the next two months, Hanno gradually learned some of their language. Only then did they know that these greenskins were actually the legendary Yakshas, and the reason why he and Cheng Xiu were captured was because their leader smelled the smell of food coming from the cave while hunting. Han Nuo, who knew this reason, complained about Cheng Xiu in his heart, but when he thought that Cheng Xiu would end up here and had something to do with him, he couldn't resent.
The Yaksha people have always lived by hunting monsters on the island, but as there are more and more people on the island, there are fewer and fewer monsters. So how to make the smelly fish in the sea become food has become a difficult problem for the Yaksha leader, and the arrival of Hanno and the others has obviously solved this problem.
The female, who spoke a little human language, had a human husband, but one day the man suddenly jumped into the sea and disappeared, leaving behind three human-looking children.
And those Nakshatra people seem to like not only human cooking, but also human appearance. So those three human-looking children were considered by them to be the most beautiful, which also caused Han Nuo some troubles, and it could even be said to be a nightmare.
On a full moon night, Han Nuo had just finished cooking when he was sent back to the place where they had been kept in captivity. Cheng Xiu was left to clean up pots and pans and clean the camp. At first, Hanno thought it was a good treat for him, the chef, until a female Yaksha broke into the cave.
This female Yaksha is the younger sister of the leader of the Yakshas, whose name is Kava, which means black stone, and whose sister's name is Niva, which means white stone. Han Nuo didn't know why their parents gave them that name, but Han Nuo guessed it was because their fists really looked like stones.
After some pushing and shoving with Niva, Han Nuo finally got the upper hand, he was pressed to the ground by the other party, and he was about to be torn off his armor. The power that came from nowhere made Han Nuo kick Niva's big hand away, jumped up and retreated to the wall, and looked at Niva with a frightened look, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Niva was visibly taken aback by Hanno's performance, but immediately snorted in a disdainful tone and prepared to step forward and continue to move. Han Nuo didn't care about the three seven twenty-one clenched his fists and rushed forward, and the two fought in the cave for several rounds until Han Nuo was bruised and swollen.
But Hanno didn't give in, and whenever Niva wanted to take a step forward, he stood up and clenched his fists as he propped up his body that was about to fall apart. After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, Niva finally left in hatred.
When Cheng Xiu returned to the cave, he saw Han Nuo covered in injuries and didn't dare to ask anything. The two maintained a tacit understanding between men and had no sleep all night.
This happens every few days. But Hanno never gave in, and Niva never gave up.
Finally, more than two months later, Cheng Xiu looked at Han Nuo, who was seriously injured again, and couldn't help but speak. "Senior Han, why are you doing this? Even if you are the body after the foundation is built, you can't stand such a toss! ”
"It doesn't matter." Han Nuo smiled.
"Our lives are like this, no different from the pigs and dogs in captivity, aren't you afraid of being killed by them one day?" Cheng Xiu stomped his foot, turned his head and wiped his tears.
"Yes, it's all like this, what's the difference between it and a pig and dog in captivity?" Han Nuo nodded, and sat up against the wall with his left hand, his right hand already being beaten to pieces. "But I was not reconciled. I've long understood that life can't always go smoothly, so I'll accept that I'm living like a pig and a dog at some point. But that doesn't mean I have to go along with it and not make any fights and changes. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Xiu couldn't hold back any longer, and he cried loudly, as if he was the one who was bullied to the point of being completely skinless.
A few days later, the same thing happened to Cheng Xiu, and a female Yaksha named Su Yi volunteered to escort Cheng Xiu back to the cave, but dragged him to the grass beside the road in the middle of the road.
When Cheng Xiu returned to the cave, Han Nuo was calmly cleaning his wounds. After many encounters, Han Nuo has already mastered the mortal kung fu taught by the miners in the mine, and even cultivated some internal strength, so the battle with Niva has gradually been able to resist for a longer time.
"What's wrong with you?" Han Nuo looked at Cheng Xiu and sensed that something was wrong with him. Cheng Xiu shook his head and lay down on the side expressionlessly. Han Nuo didn't ask much, pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to sort out his wounds.
After this night, the female Yaksha, who was called Suyi, became much closer to Cheng Xiu. The meaning of Su Yi, which is translated into human language, is somewhat similar to that of Chunhua, and Cheng Xiu gave her a name called Suyi. Since then, the two have become pairs when they go out, and they have become pairs when they enter, and after two months of rest, they moved to live in a shack in plain clothes.
Of course, Seiyu's self-sacrifice was somewhat useful, for example, he gained a lot of information about the Yakshas.
It turned out that the ring was a kind of thing called the Lock Spirit Ring, a treasure that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Yakshas. With this ring, even the Yuan Infant Monk can be easily trapped. The method is extremely simple, just engrave a strange rune on a ring made of metal called Morojin.
Of course, Morojin is not a product of this island, and carving runes on Morojin is also a matter that requires a certain amount of cultivation. This kind of thing is often controlled by a creature called the Yakshas, who rule the Yakshas, and there are usually only two or three of them per Yaksha group.
As for the Yakshas, it is said that they will come to the island every thirty years to make a round, and they will ask the Yaksha people to hand over the cultivators they have captured with the Lock Spirit Ring. As for what they want the immortal cultivators to do, the Yaksha people don't know. However, it is certain that the man who escaped from Yaksha Island before jumped into the sea because Yaksha was coming.
