Chapter 31: The First Entry into the Fog Mountain
Under the clouds, the distant mountains and near the mountains are confused, overlooking the feet, there are countless moths flying and shaking among the thousands of mountains and ravines, between the dangerous peaks, the clouds and mist are shrouded, among the high mountains, the mountain path is winding, like a ribbon falling down from the clouds.
The peaks that meander over the thousands of miles of land stand majestically and magnificently. The lush deep forest adds a touch of green to this majestic picture.
Countless flying creatures rose and fell through the mountains and forests, and suddenly a hiss pierced the sky, and I hurriedly looked up to see a large, ray-like creature passing over my head at great speed.
The colorful body, shining brightly in the sunlight, was exactly what I was looking at, and Vicky suddenly swooped straight to the ground.
"Ah~click~boom~"
I removed the branch that was pressing on me, patted the dirt on my clothes, pointed at Vicky who was hovering in the air and scolded: "Okay, if I am soft on you again, I will kneel down and call you big brother"
Perhaps it was my shout, and then Elvia and the others fell from the sky. A few people didn't seem surprised when they saw my embarrassed appearance.
"Brother, where do you start today?"
I looked around, presumably on the mountainside, where the ancient trees were towering and the sun was shading, and the dappled and sparse light shone through the branches and leaves of the trees, making the forest particularly mysterious and strange.
The mountains and forests were filled with an erratic mist, stout and strange plants, and nameless insects of bewitching colors, and I crouched down, and the ground was densely covered with sheep's tooth grass and ferns, interspersed with the white bones of unknown creatures, and the silence around me was as if everything was sleeping in the fear of death, and no sound could be heard.
Facing the unfamiliar surroundings, I couldn't remember what the process was like before, so I had to say, "Where is Dinakesh?" ”
As soon as these words came out, puzzled expressions suddenly appeared on the faces of several people.
"Elvia, your brother really doesn't have a problem with his head, right?" , Isaac said puzzled.
"Possibly". Elvia shook her head, turned to me and said, "Brother, Dinakesh's lair is on the top of the mountain, let's come here first, just to collect flowers and leaves first, to prevent the poisonous gas released by Dinakesh."
I see, I nodded, and said, "Don't catch Dinaksh today."
"If you don't catch Dinaksh, then what are you calling us for?". Xavier held the sword in his arms, looked at me coldly, and said disdainfully.
"Elvis, don't tease us, we're here to help you catch Dinaksh, if we knew this, we wouldn't have come." Brady chimed in.
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward and unhappy, Arna hurriedly defended me: "Don't worry, Elvis must have his plans"
"Arna said yes", Isaac replied, and then asked me, "Elvis, you say, what are we going to do next?" ”
I didn't pay attention to them, because I smelled a strong smell of blood, and it was normal for the stench of rotting corpses and blood in this forest, but there was a slight strange smell in this smell of blood, and I put my palm on the place, and the tremor through the ground was getting stronger.
"Not good". I was startled, and I could clearly feel a huge thing rushing towards us.
"Get out of the way, everybody." I got up and shouted to a few people.
Although several people were surprised, they quickly dodged away and jumped onto the tall trees around them.
"Xavier, get out of the way?" Arna shouted at the man in white on the ground.
I glanced at Xavier, who was still cold, dismissive, and under control. I could feel the hostility in the way he looked at me.
Presumably he wanted to show his strength in front of Arna, but at this time I ignored him, reached out and pulled out the crimson sword behind my back, and held my breath, staring at the direction that the thing was coming.
For a long time, nothing hit.
"Elvis, if you're nervous or scared, we'll go back as soon as possible."
I ignored Xavier's sneering words, for I could already hear the heavy breathing of the thing, hovering around us.
"Dodge~". I yelled suddenly.
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly rushed from the shadows, and the whole ground trembled, and I jumped up and rushed straight towards the black shadow.
Xavier also sensed the danger, and one of them rolled over and jumped onto the nearest branch, and in an instant drew his long sword, slashing at the black shadow with me.
"Bang~Bang~", the sword shadow flickered, and the blade and its skin rubbed a dazzling firelight, but the skin of that thing was extremely hard and could not be pierced at all.
The two of us flipped in the air and landed on the tree.
Seeing that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, the thing did not fight, and quickly ran towards the darkness of the forest. There was no movement for a long time.
I put away my crimson sword and jumped off the tree, and a few people were relieved and fell to the ground.
"Brother, what is this thing? Why have you never seen it in Mt. Kiridake? ”。 Elvia asked, confused.
"Haven't seen it?". I repeated in my heart, since I had never seen it, then I should not have anyone to refute my nonsense, so I pretended to say in a deep voice: "This thing is called Aitaruga, an omnivorous animal, it does not inhabit Mount Kiritake, but it appears here today, there must be some reason."
"Aitaruga?". Several people had puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Yes, this Aitaruga will not break into Mount Kirikaku for no reason, we are not arresting Dinaksh today, just to find out the purpose of its appearance here"
"I'll just say that everything Elvis does, he has his plan and arrangement"
Xavier's face suddenly darkened as soon as he said this, and I could tell from Arna's eyes that she had some admiration for me, but I didn't have any memories of her in my head.
I admit that Arna is indeed beautiful, and I can feel that independent, wild beauty in her, but for some reason she has always maintained a delicate appearance in front of me.
From the back mountain of the village to the present, I have been able to sort out the relationship between the few of us in a short time, but I can't remember the past before this. But that's not so important to me anymore.
I kept thinking of corpses strewn across the field, of the devastated land, and of the one-eyed man's words: This is your future.
I looked up at the obscured sky, and I was going to join the Baxter Tim organization and climb to the top, because I didn't want to be in the situation I was in now, at the bottom, and I couldn't see what I wanted to see.
"Brother, what are we going to do?"
Elvia's voice pulled my thoughts back, and I looked in the direction of Ataruga's disappearance and said, "Chase!" ”
