Chapter 140: What Lost
Esther leaned against a tree that night and sat in an uncomfortable position and took a nap.
She slept briefly for two hours, and then woke up in the horror of being watched, the red moon hanging high above the branches of the trees, stretching the shadows of the forest longer, as if there were eyes looking at it from every corner.
She observed her left hand, the black silk of the curse still looming, but her palm was completely healed.
It really doesn't look like a human being.
Esther was hesitating whether to let "Zoya" out.
There was no one else around, so Esther didn't have to be afraid to attract attention, and if she let "Zoya" fight Amun, she might be able to escape from this hellish place faster, but Esther had something more fearful, she was afraid that "Esther" would never exist again.
Pray to Mr. "Fool" for help? Esther couldn't find such an opportunity, and Xiao Qiqi followed her step by step, making Esther subconsciously veto such a choice. Especially after seeing the bark marked "Fool", Esther felt that Amon was intentional, and he was deliberately guiding her to connect with the "Fool".
It wasn't until she dealt with her like this that Esther completely understood how bad the "Amun Body" was, no wonder Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu both complained.
She rubbed her right brow, thinking about what to do next, and tomorrow she would have to continue to check the other half of the island that had not been walked, but the hunger and water problems could only be endured......
The "obsessive-compulsive bow tie" and the short knife are all lost, and the iron pieces of the harmonica and wind chimes and the shakers on the body are still not seen to be able to do anything, and they are completely useless in battle. The suppression of the high-ranking people in the same way is too strong, especially when I didn't reach the fourth sequence, he didn't dare to parasitize me out of jealousy, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big bend to toss people, and he was directly parasitic.
Esther glanced at the crow cowering beside her and sighed silently.
The crow seemed to sense, opened its eyes and looked up at her, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Esther shrugged her shoulders and tried to break her jaw, but of course she couldn't open it, and she shook her head at the crow again.
"That's right, you don't have a choice but to continue the game."
The crow shook off the two grass stalks on her body, flapped her wings and stood on top of Esther's head, and the playful smile in her dark eyes did not fall into Esther's eyes.
As soon as the morning dawned, Esther continued to search for the island, following the stream to the source of the underground spring, and using it as a landmark, she continued to explore the places she had not visited yesterday. Instead of throwing away the fruit wrapped in banana leaves, she kept yesterday's harvest for a rainy day, and even if she couldn't eat now, she planned to keep it for two days.
Two seabirds crouched in the treetops, and Esther glanced at them indifferently, ignoring their noisy whispers, and grabbed a beetle that was crawling up her cuff with her backhand, and threw it far into the trees.
Esther wanted to scold loudly and let this group of panicked Amon clones not bother herself, but even this kind of thing she couldn't do, it only made her sulk.
There were more eyes staring at her in the shadows.
Esther's sharpened wooden spear was singled out and crushed the head of a lizard that swept past her feet, and the whispers were only lowered a little.
She snorted, her sharp gaze skimming over the corners of her brain that had touched her "spiritual intuition."
The crow above Esther's head chuckled softly.
But as time passed, the sun climbed to its highest point and sunk in the clear and cloudless sky, and Esther could not suppress a little irritability.
The hunger sensation in her body almost reached a certain limit, and even though she avoided too strenuous activity and delayed her steps a little, it still couldn't avoid the moment.
The burning sensation of longing seemed to burn through her stomach, and this tightening of the towel soon manifested itself in all her organs, and Esther could feel her heart rate becoming erratic, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making her feel dizzy for a moment from time to time.
The crow clung to Esther's head didn't care, of course, and clung to Esther's hair, listening to her ragged breathing, and it didn't say a word.
A dark glow appeared in Esther's eyes, but it soon faded as she tried to suppress her breathing, returning to its original pale lightness.
At this moment, a rich aroma mixed with salty and sweet appeared in Esther's perception, and it appeared quite abruptly, as if the long-occluded nasal passages had suddenly ventilated, regaining the capture of the smell.
The hunger almost tormented her, and Esther subconsciously reached out to the source of the strong smell, but grabbed it empty.
The crow flew up and landed on the branch next to it, looking at her with a blank and innocent face: "Are you okay?" Calm down! You wouldn't want to eat your friends too, would you? ”
Hearing this, Esther shook her head vigorously, but the salty and sweet smell in the surrounding air was still very strong, and she had never liked the mixture of salty and sweet tastes, but at this moment, Esther's appetite was hung to the extreme.
She subconsciously inhaled her nose, but then realized that this was not the "real" aroma of anything, but an illusion born of desire and temptation. Esther raised her hand and pinched her nose, the smell still clearly enveloping her perception, unabated.
Is it really possible to eat something that conveys this taste......
Esther's brow furrowed, and she waved her hand at the black crow, signaling it not to get too close.
However, the crow didn't seem to understand her expression and gestures at all, and flew straight to Esther's head, and said with great concern: "It's okay, I'm still worried that you will lose control." Let's go, let's move on to the next thing. ”
"Hmm!"
The aroma was stronger, and Esther was annoyed, but she couldn't keep the other person away, and she reached out and slapped her head twice. But as soon as Esther's palm was lowered, the crow fell back above her head and stood there steadfastly.
"Mmmm
After a squeak of annoyance, Esther had to pull out a piece of iron and scratch a piece of bark with handwriting: "Stay away from me!" I may have really eaten you!! ”
The crow shook his head resolutely, full of certainty between his words: "I'm sure you won't eat me!" How could you eat your own friends? You can't even open your mouth now, and I won't be in danger. ”
Esther didn't know when "Little Seven" had become so stubborn, and she angrily trampled the handwriting on the ground, turning her attention to the nearby smell that attracted her.
It seemed that her expression was too obvious, and the smell around her quickly faded a lot.
Esther snorted amusementably and in annoyance, knowing that it was Amun's clones who had gone further away to protect themselves.
However, as the seductive aroma around her faded, Esther sensed another recognizable smell, like blood-soaked rotten flesh, and the disgust that made her feel familiar was also very familiar.
What the hell?
Following the source of this perception, Esther felt near a large stone that was a man high, and it took her great effort to push it aside, revealing the turned dirt underneath.
Esther dug twice with a piece of iron, touching some kind of hard surface, and then she carefully changed to digging by hand.
Buried here was an old tin box slightly larger than a fist, covered in rust and occult symbols, from which the smell kept coming out.
"Hmm!"
Esther vomited twice.
However, this smell effectively diluted the salty and sweet aroma of the crow, and although it did not completely suppress Esther's thirsty appetite, it quieted her convulsive internal organs a lot.
It's better not to open it, it's disgusting. Thinking so, Esther wrapped the thing in plantain leaves, and tied it around her back with her cloak.
When the second thing arrives, I don't know if it's the key or the heart inside, but there will be such a disgusting feeling, eighty percent of the latter.
The crow flapped its wings twice excitedly: "Isn't there still hope?" It's just two things! ”
Esther swooped into the bushes beside her, and the crow had to fly into the air and land on the stone pier next to her.
With a grasp of her left hand, Esther stole the idea of the conch-shell hermit crab escaping, and then quickly grabbed it with her right hand and grabbed it into the palm of her hand, she struggled for two seconds, letting the hermit crab's weak pincers clamp her fingers, and then Esther closed her eyes vigorously, and when she opened them again, she had already made up her mind.
The raven watched the scene quietly, taking in the light that swept through Esther's eyes, knowing that "Zoya" could no longer hold back the intense sense of longing.
And what happened next was just as the crow thought.
An extremely faint point of light lit up on the hermit crab's body, and it fluttered and fluttered, and it uncontrollably approached Esther's forehead, blending in and disappearing.
Immediately afterward, the hermit crab in its shell quickly lost its vitality, and a worm phantom spread all over the twelve links broke away from it, and then quickly dissipated into the air.
Esther endured the pain in her forehead, but soon, the unusually faint point of light was swallowed up by the ball of light in her mind, and the hunger in her stomach quickly subsided. She rubbed her right brow in a trance, leaning wearily against the trunk of a tree next to her, and the buzzing in her ears took a long time to regain her composure.
The crow did not speak, but quietly observed the change, thoughtfully.
There was a sound of a branch being trampled on, and Esther immediately stood up and turned in that direction alertly.
It was already dark, and He came to inflict the punishment of the second night.
The young man grabbed the little blade of grass on the edge of the black robe and disappeared, and he smiled politely at Esther, but he did not come out completely as he had done yesterday, but just stood behind the bushes and kept his distance from Esther.
The raven flew down to top of Esther's head, clutching her hair and steady.
Esther couldn't laugh at all, she could hear the slight whispering of the branches, she could hear her own heartbeat getting more and more intense, and her breathing became heavy from the nervousness.
She tightened her grip on the wooden gun in her hand, lowering her left hand slightly.
"Good evening, I hope you still have a good time."
His right hand was opened and closed again.
Esther's left hand did the same, trying to steal the opponent's ability to "steal distance". However, good fortune did not favor her, and the sequence suppression was an insurmountable gap between the two.
Esther saw the young man grinning, he was probably laughing, his lips moved slightly, but Esther didn't hear anything.
This time it was the sense of hearing that was taken away.
All sounds disappeared from Esther's perception.
