Chapter 65: Hearing the Music
The silence of the forsaken land was shattered by the sound of cheerful music in the darkness, and the fierce, strangely shaped creatures, like a slowly surging river, chased after the melody that gave them a brief break from madness.
But if you change the dark environment with the intermittent flashing lights and this lethal "celebration team", this can be quite a call-style scene.
The musician couldn't help but think to herself, and she was even a little smug - look, this is the story of "Hamel", which exactly corresponds to the pseudonym I had foreseen - no, stop, it has nothing to do with "Hamel", and it is not a harmless child who is led behind, but ......
Esther glanced at the team that could be called the Extraordinary Encyclopedia of Creatures:
The leopard with its long black fur leaped nimbly, gracefully avoiding the slower ones, its body disappearing from time to time, apparently possessing some ability to conceal itself, but it did not bother to maintain it;
The huge frog, covered with a rocky shell and a bush, was already half a man tall, and it was still three or four of them, and they were all together and jumped forward in a rhythmic manner;
The serpent, thicker than a bucket, also crawled on the ground, occasionally spitting out red letters, revealing its long dagger fangs in its mouth. Its snake scales glowed strangely like black gems, but two distinct forks appeared on its tail, and then entangled with each other;
The mountain-like lizard, almost as gigantic as a mud truck, walked in the middle of the line with a bold but slow pace. It could easily smash and squash a two-story house if it was pressed down, and even other extraordinary creatures kept some distance from the beast as they moved forward......
In fact, Esther also regretted that even if she could gather these creatures, she would not be able to give them clear orders to command them to attack. The music she plays only produces an instinctive attraction to them through "resonance", and has no hypnotic effect, nor can she communicate directly with extraordinary creatures on a deep level like a beast master.
Esther followed behind Amun, and the harmonica sound on her lips did not stop for a moment, but looking at the back of the black-haired young man with his hands behind his back and walking leisurely in front, a strange thought suddenly popped up in Esther's mind:
He said before that there was no way to explore the mobile castle, no, the equipment of the mobile city, but now he took the initiative to lead the way, what was this going to do?
Amon took the initiative to go ahead...... You don't just want to be a team leader, do you?
For some reason, the more Esther thought about it, the more she thought it might be true.
Amon suddenly turned sideways, nodded twice at the position in front of him, and said silently with his mouth, "There is movement."
Esther instantly had a strong instinct that "this is a lie", staring at Amon with suspicion, only to see his playful smile. However, Amon deliberately remained silent and did not disrupt his performance, which made Esther's mood not so depressed.
Amon was indeed lying to her, in the dark dense forest ahead, there were only more hidden beasts, and those trees were also swaying slightly in the music, and Esther even noticed that a few mushrooms were pulled out of the ground and squirmed happily on the ground with mycelium, joining the grand ***.
But there was still no trace of the city, and I didn't know what Amon had in mind, so for a while Esther had to continue playing, hoping that she was not doing useless work.
In this way, Esther continued to play the harmonica for nearly two hours, and she didn't know whether to feel that her lung capacity was good, or that the quality of this "shell" was quite guaranteed.
However, in addition to playing, Esther was naturally distracted by observing her surroundings.
She had noticed that the group that followed the two was growing. As Esther moved with Amon, the range of the music changed, and Amon was deliberately leading her towards the monster-dense area.
Amon clearly knew a lot about the neighborhood, and it wasn't just for the sake of that pleasant vanity that Amon had taken the lead, but under Amon's purposeful guidance, Esther had gathered more scattered extraordinary creatures. It's just the number of rears that makes Esther feel bottomless, and she can't get it for sure
When you put down the harmonica, what will happen to these monsters that inhabit the darkness?
With the remnants of the population and strength of this continent, no matter which remnant city it is, it may not be large enough to deal with this kind of disaster, let alone withstand the impact of this group of monsters after they disperse.
Does that city really dare to show up?
And Esther's question didn't last long, and after two hours of gathering the monster, the answer came out on its own. Esther's spirituality was also touched, and she felt that something extremely large was running in her direction along the music.
When there was a faint tremor on the ground, Amon turned around and smiled at Esther with a "expected" smile, which he had clearly anticipated.
Esther sighed inwardly, her knowledge of this continent was much worse than Amon's, and even if she wanted to consider a plan to escape, she didn't have any advantage at all......
Can you use Dream City to trap him? But with the "loop" created there, I'm afraid it won't work very well for the ontology, and it might even make him really angry, and he will definitely guard against my small actions......
While Esther's mind was full of boundless distractions, the object that caused the ground to shake had already rushed to the far distance she could glimpse.
Just a glance at it, Esther's face was hard to look at, and the harmonica in her mouth let out a loud and sharp sound that ruined the music because of Esther's frightened exhalation.
In the next second, the group of monsters behind responded to the scream, letting out a loud howl - and even worse, some of them were extraordinary creatures that could launch extraordinary attacks through roars and sound waves, even if it was just a mixture of horror and anger, they all had the power to attack spirits or bodies.
The rushing sound almost swept Esther out, and she quickly pulled the harmonica into the gap in her coat, and took a step forward to grab Amun's shoulder, "We need to get out of here quickly—"
When he was caught by Esther, Amon still had that easy smile on his face, and he was not infected by Esther's nervousness at all.
He even laughed and said, "Why are you so nervous? We managed to come across it, and it's your credit. You see, on its back is the city......
Esther's angry scolding was unusually high-pitched, and for a moment, almost even the panicked howls of the extraordinary creatures were muffled:
"That thing is the remains of an old god! Just because you're not afraid of death doesn't mean I'm not afraid!"
