Volume 1 Mountain Village 69: Leaving the Underground Works

Why did he come back again?

There was a push behind him, but the human behind the door was reluctant to use too much effort after all, perhaps to respect the mysterious "capable senior" in his mind.

The thrust quickly wore off, and then the door of the stone door shook as if the human was leaning against it.

"Senpai, are you still there?"

The human first greeted Fang Nuo inside the door, and after hearing the noise coming from inside, he apologized a few times, asking Fang Nuo to forgive him for his rash return.

He then added that a new day had passed outside the underground works.

"Lady Iris is missing."

Some people in the village saw that the old lady had not appeared, and her cloth shop had not opened for a long time, so they ran to entrust the witch to find someone.

The witch who claims to be the guardian of the village, but at this time, on the grounds that "her pet has not returned for a day", she politely refused the villagers' request to "go to the old man immediately".

"I don't know where Liuliu ran to." The human behind the door sighed.

Inside the door, Fang Nuo, who was sitting on the wooden box, was a little weak.

He was secretly glad that the other party could not witness the scene when he returned from the bird form to the yellow immortal, and at the same time he was worried about the incident mentioned by the other party.

I don't know how long it will take for me to change back.

The claws were already shrinking, and he nodded thoughtfully, the body that seemed to have been elongated all of a sudden, and now it was indeed slowly recovering.

Immediately after, he heard from the man outside the door that when the church school was in class as usual today, a team of demon beasts suddenly broke into the classroom.

Fortunately, they didn't harm the children in the village, and they were expelled by the witch who came after just walking around the altar.

"Could it be that they discovered the existence of this underground structure?" Noka asked, "Wouldn't that be dangerous for the seniors?" ”

Please, Fang Nuo is a little speechless, this guy really thinks of himself as a "capable person"?

Besides, ordinary demon beasts are not as easy to infighting as humans imagine, and different families must fight to the death...... Even if a strange monster really breaks in, can't he hide if he can't beat him?

The underground works are so big, and there are so many forks, and they didn't get lost because they had followed Naga and Lady Iris in before.

If you replace it with an unprepared intruder, it is estimated that as soon as you enter, you will be poisoned by the spiritual power full of resentment in the atmosphere.

"By the way, they're dryads." Human voices continued to be heard from behind the door.

"Our witches, yes, it is the 'capable man' in our village who said that they may have been attracted by the 'spiritual power' of powerful demon beasts."

Through the door, Fang Nuo heard the sound of clothes and fabrics rubbing against each other, as if the human was raising his hand and scratching his head—it was already his habit.

"I don't know much about this matter, I've read it in books before, and I've secretly heard Mrs. Iris say before, 'spiritual power' is the basis for determining whether a human can awaken to a 'capable person'."

"Spiritual power is everywhere, and gifted people can perceive them in their daily lives, use them, and affinity with them." Noka said to himself, "Our witch is such a person, senior, are you too?" ”

I don't know? Fang Nuo suddenly felt a little funny, he was not a "capable person", nor was he a human being, how could he understand how human beings felt when they awakened their power and applied their power?

When the elders of the family went out hunting, it was possible that they had dealt with "capable people" from outside, and when they returned to Huangxian Ridge, they could ask them.

But by then, it is estimated that he and the human behind the door will not meet again.

It's better to read a book, Fang Nuo replied to the other party in his heart, as long as you read enough, you will one day find or deduce the answer by yourself.

Even if the answers you get are far from the reality......

"That's right, senior." The human outside the door seemed to suddenly think of something important, and slapped his hands heavily, "Although it seems unlikely, if a white, small, furry creature passes by here, please help me keep an eye on it." ”

......Fang Nuo, who felt that he was the "beast of the matter" in the mouth of humans, chose to remain silent.

"It's our witch's pet." Noka added, "It should be a ...... Mink, right? There are cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in our village, but this kind of pet is rare, and I have only heard of it in books and dictates by coachmen. ”

"Its name is 'Liuliu', and it has only been in our village for a few days, so I'm afraid it didn't get lost in some mountain forest near the village." Noka's back left the door panel, as if preparing to leave, "Our witch is worried about it. ”

"If the seniors see it, I hope you can tell it about it and let it go home soon."

This kid, does he think too much of a "capable person"?

None of the high-ranking demon beasts may have the ability to communicate across races, so why does he think that a "capable person" can do such a thing?

Though...... In a sense, he did pass on.

Before leaving, the human beings made a point of mentioning that the church school was not peaceful tonight.

As he descended, he had barely walked a few steps when he heard the sound of the machine closing overhead, along with some roars that he did not understand, but which revealed a little anger.

"Senior, you'd better be careful when you leave...... Well, I'll have to be safe when I return. ”

Fang Nuo tapped lightly on the door, indicating that he understood.

However, he didn't plan to go back the way he came, Fang Nuo thought to himself.

From the strange memories that flooded into his mind, he learned how Naga escaped from this place, and he could roughly deduce the location of the "dark passage".

If he wanted to leave, he could do it without realizing it.

But the human who had just left was not, and he silently laughed at the other party in his heart.

The creature would have to spend the night at the staircase leading to the ground, and only sneak up the next day when the inhabitants of the village had woken up from their dreams and the village had regained its vitality and life.

After all, no one knew if the mechanism at the altar was opened, and what was waiting for him would be a church school that was deserted late at night, or a group of dryads chasing the aura of powerful demon beasts.

"The premise is that he really heard the roar of the demon beast, and it wasn't due to nervousness that he was hallucinating."

"I'm thinking too arbitrarily, even if there is a demon beast ambushing nearby, it may not be a dryad." Fang Nuo put away his smile and jumped off the wooden box, landing on all fours—his form had returned to its original size.

"It's also possible that other demon beasts have found the details of the treasure map." He said to himself, "As soon as Xiong Zhen died, the partners he summoned all lost control, and I was not the only alien monster who was interested in that treasure map. ”

After the contour of his body was almost restored, Fang Nuo "packed" a few pale crystals that were still intact, and carried a few treasures that carried little resentment, preparing to leave this place through the dark passage.

He smashed the rest of the soul crystals in the room, as well as other "treasures" that would erode and affect the user's mind once they were used, so that the spiritual power and consciousness of the deceased contained in them returned to nature.

"There are too many grievances that can't be released, and they pile up with each other and affect each other...... That's why it will cause a spiritual riot, so that the spiritual power of the forest will be disordered and there will be a precursor to the outbreak of the beast tide. ”

As he collected his thoughts, he climbed the wall on the red bricks, bit a withered plant that grew on it, shook his head, and ripped it off.

"What kind of plant is this?" He searched hard in the memories he had "seen", and after a while he came up with the answer, "Oh, it's the dream waking grass." ”

"They're also releasing a steady stream of spiritual power."

Even though it has withered...... Fang Nuo plucked the pure white petals from the plant one by one, and in a few moments, they automatically melted into the air as spiritual power.

"That giant snake, as well as the ability I awakened, have all mentioned...... 'Awakening grass is the darling of the Flower Emperor'." Fang Nuo left the remaining flower stems of the plant and turned his head towards the entrance of the "Dark Passage", "Could it be that the dryads in the human mouth felt the breath of the Flower Emperor, so they came to attack the church school?" ”

"It's also possible that they're investigating the cause of the forest's spiritual disorder, and they've finally found it here after many days."

It's useless to think so much, he laughed at himself in his heart, anyway, these things won't have anything to do with him.

Now all he had to do was to go back to the surface, plant an oak tree that would make the witch owe him a favor, gather the ingredients mentioned in the recipe for her to solve the curse of the Flower Emperor, and then, when the day of the "Red Star Shines", take the carriage back to the "end of the stone wall".

By the way, use the harvest of this treasure hunt to improve your strength, and if you have time, you will also find a way to restore the forest greenstone to its original state...... If all plans work out as planned, that's best.

Otherwise, he can only take one step at a time, and it is all up to luck.

Alas, since I bumped into the "bad fate" of the witch, my luck seems to have been very bad, and the "ability" awakened through the first contact with the outside world and the use of the family's secret method is also closely related to "bad luck".

While complaining in his heart about what had happened recently, Fang Nuo took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and plunged headlong into the entrance of the "dark passage" that he had speculated.

Fortunately, his idea was not wrong, otherwise he would have crashed directly into the red brick wall.

After stepping into the dark passage, he found himself in a strange tunnel.

The surroundings are covered with dazzling patterns that flicker in a certain rhythm, and after staying for a long time, it is easy to make the beast dizzy and unable to distinguish the direction.

Beneath the pattern, there is a brilliant colored light with no fixed flow direction, and from time to time there are unfamiliar characters jumping on it.

Fang Nuo took the things he had obtained from the small room where the treasure was hidden, and walked all the way down the beautiful tunnel, and after an unknown amount of time, there was an extra "hole" like a whirlpool in his vision.

He quickened his pace and went straight to what he thought was the "secret exit".

At the moment when he was about to step through the whirlpool door, he faintly heard a voice calling his name behind him—

"Fang Nuo!" It is the language of the Huangxian clan, and it is also the language that he has been learning and studying since he can remember.

The knowledge and reason in his mind told him that this secret passage, which was originally for all kinds of creatures to enter and exit, would never suddenly come out with a voice directed at the Yellow Immortal clan.

Either it is a trap or an illusion, or it is a combination of the two, which is an "illusion" created by the "traps" that exist in the dark tunnels.

Sure enough, if you don't go back the way you are sure it is safe, all kinds of accidents will occur.

Fang Nuo gritted his teeth, ignoring the voice that was about to catch up with him behind him, and rushed straight into the whirlpool.

Countless images flashed before his eyes, each of which presented a scene unfamiliar to him: a crowded market, a harbor where fishing boats were waiting to set sail, a parade square under the castle, and a garden with a group of young men in strange costumes playing and playing...... and other scenes he had never seen before.

He blinked for a moment, and the images vanished in an instant, and in his place was a familiar forest of dead trees.

He returned to the outskirts of the mountain village.
