Chapter 41: Simple Quest (4)
The turquoise boat sails in the water, giving people a sense of unreality in a fairy tale world.
"Fake." Mo Xun suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Several people who were intoxicated by the beauty looked at him.
Mo Xun squinted at the sky: "The blue sky and white clouds are all fake, just like the background painting hanging on the inner wall of the plant, very advanced illusion, Che Jingxing can't have this kind of ability, this eighty percent is the handiwork of the void spirit, it seems that the captain guessed correctly, Che Jingxing should have taken refuge in the void spirit, we have to be careful." ”
"What about the flowers?" Long Bo pointed to the sea of flowers.
This question made Mo Xun hesitate a little: "It's hard to say, these flowers give me a very bad feeling, it shouldn't be an illusion, but a part of the ecology of this huge plant." ”
"Structurally, this huge space is likely to be the 'stomach' of the plant, and these flowers, which may be used to digest food, are best not touched."
"Oh......" Looking at those flowers again, the dragon was full of goosebumps.
"Brother Mo, what about the sun? What is it? Long Qisheng asked.
After all, there is no reason for plants to install a light inside their bodies! That's weird.
Mo Xun squinted at the "sun" and thought for a while before he said slowly: "There are no celestial bodies in the Ethereal Spirit Realm, if you see a celestial body somewhere, then it must be some kind of ethereal spirit creation, and it is very likely to be an anchor used to fix the nodes." ”
Anchor?
Long Qisheng knows that the anchor, the nodes that invade the living world need anchors to be fixed here, and generally speaking, the ethereal spirits stationed in the nodes themselves are anchors, so as long as the ethereal spirits are killed, the nodes will fade.
There are also a few "permanent nodes" that use a special Ethereal creation as an anchor, and such nodes cannot fade away even if they kill the Ethereal Spirit unless the creation is destroyed, but this is extremely difficult to do.
"But isn't this node temporary?" Long Qi was puzzled.
"I'm confused too." Mo Xun pondered: "The position of this anchor is also wrong, it is not above the node, but in the body of this huge plant......
"Maybe it's because the anchor hasn't been made yet." Mo Xun guessed: "Or, it hasn't reached the conditions for use yet......
Saying that, Mo Xun shook his head: "It's a pity that we have too little information about the anchor. ”
"I think Brother Mo guessed right." Long Qisheng expressed his opinion: "That ethereal spirit is so reluctant, it may be hiding and doing the work of placing anchors, if we destroy his plan, is it a great achievement?" ”
"Indeed." Mo Xun said with a smile: "If you can stop a temporary node from turning into a fixed node in advance, there will definitely be a lot of rewards." ”
"So what are you waiting for?" Long Qisheng instigated: "Brother Mo, knock it down!" ”
"I can't do it when I hit it, it's too high for me to reach." Mo Xun pinched his chin and pondered it, and said, "But we can climb to the top of this plant and destroy it from above after finding Che Jingxing and getting the five-color stone." ”
"Okay, that's it!"
Long Qisheng became excited.
When it comes to meritorious service, he is not sleepy!
I thought that the simple task this time was to follow Mo Xun to make soy sauce, but I didn't expect to have this kind of unexpected joy!
If this is written in the resume, how shiny it will be!
……
As the boat moved on, a small, rudimentary pier came into view.
Sandwiched between the sea of flowers, there is a path that leads from the pier into the distance and disappears into the hillside.
Docked at the pier, everyone walked ashore.
"Don't move."
Mo Xun seemed to feel something, walked to the flowers next to him, took out the dagger hanging on his lap and dug twice in the black soil, digging out half of the metacarpal bone.
The contrast between the white bones and the black soil is strong, giving people a strong visual impact, and with the pure white and flawless flowers, the strange feeling rises unconsciously.
After pulling twice, Mo Xun came to a conclusion: "It's not a human being, it's a grotesque bone." ”
"Che Jing Xing killed?"
Mo Xun didn't answer, just shook his head, and told everyone again: "Don't go near these flowers." ”
Everyone walked cautiously along the path, and just after turning a corner, an unexpected person appeared in front of everyone.
"Junru?"
On the side of the path lay a woman in a strange dress made of tulip petals, with no blood on her face, her lips white, and her eyes closed and motionless.
It was the missing Junru.
No one expected that Junru would be found so easily, nor did they expect her to appear in front of everyone in this way.
Mo Xun stepped forward to check: "I'm in a coma, I look very weak, maybe it's some kind of disease." ”
"Can the grotesque get sick too?" Long Hao said curiously.
"Of course the grotesque get sick, but their illness belongs to the realm of 'occultism' for us, and we humans can't understand it."
"She got a terminal illness when she was a human being, and her husband thought that she would be able to recover her health by transforming her into a grotesque, but she didn't expect to be sick, and it's pitiful to think about." Long sighed suddenly.
Xin Bailu didn't speak, but judging from her eyes full of pity, she also agreed with Long Xuan's statement.
Mo Xun thought for a moment and ordered: "Long Qisheng, you put Junru on your back, let's go find Che Jingxing, with Junru in hand, maybe you don't need to do it to get the five-color stone." ”
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood the meaning of Mo Xun's words.
If Che Jingxing is willing to hand over the five-color stone, he can let Che Jingxing live.
After all, the couple is indeed pitiful.
Long Qisheng smiled in his heart, and said in his heart that joining the wild bee was indeed the right choice.
Things gather people in groups, each spirit chaser team has its own unique style, and the members of the wild bees are very kind and loving, and it is naturally the best destination for a kind-hearted person like him~~
With Junru on their backs, everyone hit the road again.
And this walk is more than an hour.
It was as if the path had no end, and it could never be finished.
There is nothing else in the field of vision except for the endless tulip flowers, and seeing too much makes people feel hairy.
Suddenly, Long Qisheng felt Jun Ru on his back move.
"Brother Mo, Junru seems to be awake!"
Everyone stopped.
Long Qisheng put Junru down and helped her, and after waiting for a few seconds, she opened her eyes in a daze.
When she saw Long Qisheng for the first time, she was a little confused in her eyes.
After turning his head and seeing the other three people, his confusion instantly turned into fear, and he suddenly shrank behind Long Qisheng, his hands tightly grasping the corners of Long Qisheng's clothes, and his whole body was trembling.
"People...... Mankind! ”
That tone, that expression, was like a human being seeing a ghost.
Mo Xun: ?
Xin Bailu: ?
Long Huh: ?
Long Qisheng: ......
What's going on?
Mo Xun glanced at Long Qisheng deeply, and said to Xin Bailu and Long Qisheng: "The three of us retreat a little further and let Long Qisheng communicate with her." ”
Then he glanced at Long Qisheng.
Long Qisheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing the three of them walking away, Jun Ru finally stopped shaking, and whispered to Long Qisheng: "You...... How dare you be with humans...... Humans are insidious and cruel, and they will kill you! ”
?
Long Qisheng felt that Junru was very wrong.
Even if you are grotesque now, you were once a human being, although it is true that the soul chasers will not show mercy to the grotesque, but your reaction is too exaggerated!
"Don't worry, they're here to find things, don't kill people, don't you think I'm good?"
After a few words of comfort, Junru finally calmed down, but she was still very wary of Mo Xun and the three of them standing in the distance.
After informing each other of their names, Long Qisheng began to get to the point: "Miss Junru, we found you on the road near the dock, you fell unconscious on the side of the road at the time, we were worried that you would take you with us, why did you faint there?" ”
Jun Ru wrung her hands, a little embarrassed: "It's really bothering you...... My husband went out and said that he would come back in two days, but he hadn't come home on the third day, and I didn't feel at ease, so I wanted to go to the dock to wait for him, but I forgot to bring the medicine and fainted. ”
Hey? Isn't that a credit to the door?
Long Qisheng immediately said with concern: "Then you have to take medicine quickly, where is your home, let's send you back!" ”
"Huh? This ......"
Jun Ru hesitated, glanced at Mo Xun quickly, and lowered her head again, it was obvious that she didn't want to take humans to her home, worried that her safety would be threatened.
Long Qisheng saw through her thoughts at a glance and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll send you alone." ”
I added in my heart: Brother Mo, they will follow behind~
Jun Ru breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
