095. False Sky
"These bugs seem to be what is causing these animals to go berserk."
There was no jar on him, so he wrote one on the spot with a stone on the side of the road, and asked Jo Twilight to throw the worm that was still full of vitality into it.
They vigilantly investigated the carcasses of the other beasts, and found that they contained a large number of worms.
These insects gnaw at flesh and blood, penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and control the actions of those long decaying corpses, and they have a very strong vitality, even in the flames.
[Creatures from exotic lands, no one knows how they found here, haha, you can taste it if you remove your head, chicken flavor, crunchy! ] 】
From the worm in the jar, crimson writing echoed through the night.
"From a foreign land?"
Qiao Twilight whispered.
"You know this bug?"
Kiriyama also looked at the struggling bugs in the jar.
"This isn't this exotic creature."
Qiao Du explained, as for where this thing came from, it seemed that even the bright red text couldn't give more hints, but he had obtained some information about the school city through the [Human Guide] before, and he could share it with the Misty Mountain.
"Ahsan, the school city seems to have been polluted from other foreign lands, and this bug should be one of the products of pollution."
"Ahsan."
Kiriyama seemed to want to correct Qiao Dui's title, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not so a priority, sighed, and spoke again.
"This is the second time I've been to the school, and I had a [mortal] difficulty mission before, I was attacked by a machine in an abandoned town, and it took a lot of effort to destroy it, this foreign land looks very dangerous."
He didn't ask Qiao Du about the details of the bug, because Kiriyama knew that if the bug really came from a foreign land, then any information related to it would be contaminated, and if he listened casually, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not be eroded.
"Compared to this, your injuries are fine, do you need me to help you deal with them?"
Kiriyama glanced at Qiao Dui's wrist that had been bitten by the worm just now, and was a little surprised to find that the original bloody wound had healed, and there was not even a scar to be seen.
"It's okay, I asked them to speed up and recover, so as not to affect the future tasks."
Qiao Du grinned and showed a sunny and cheerful smile.
“.”
Kiriyama didn't dare to ask more.
Twilight put the jar away and went back to pick up the glowing stone.
The two of them continued along the moonlit path.
"It's so quiet on the street."
Qiao Du couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really weird, not even the sound of bugs."
Kiriyama remembered that he had been to the town of the school city before, but he had been hiding from the machines at that time, and he had not paid attention to the sound of insects, but now he was in the silence where he could hear even his heartbeat, and he had a lot of thoughts.
"Those animals can't have come out of the amusement park, right?"
Qiao Twilight remembered that when she was a child, many parks would open up an area dedicated to raising animals for people to see, and there were usually some roller coaster carousels and other amusement equipment next door, but as time went by, these parks that once brought children dreams and joy became lonely, and no one made a special trip to play.
The beasts they encountered just now, including wolfdogs, brown bears, gorillas, and even hippos, it is hard not to think that they escaped from the zoo.
"Possibly."
Kiriyama was a Chosen One who had been to a foreign land a few times, and he didn't show much surprise at what Qiao Du said.
The two continued to walk forward for a while, silent.
"There are no stars or moon, so it's lonely."
As a social phobia, Qiao Du couldn't stand this extremely quiet environment, so he spoke.
"Maybe it's not nothing, but it's obscured."
Kiriyama looked up and glanced at the dark night sky.
"Obscured?"
Qiao Du also looked up, squinting her eyes, trying to see what was the clue.
Suddenly, in his field of vision, bright blood-red words spread out, covering the sky.
[Don't be blinded by the false sky, everything you see is a scam, they want to cover up the truth, the crime is heinous! 】
"False sky."
Qiao Du muttered.
Misty Mountains only thought that Qiao Du was sighing, and he looked down and looked at the broken road.
There were a lot of mottled marks on the road, as if they had been crushed by some heavy object, and a lot of stones were crushed, and Kiriyama picked up a flat, illusory pen in his hand and wrote words on it.
[You have wings that can not be destroyed by a storm, fly high, and find the paradise of your dreams. 】
In the blink of an eye, the stone shook like a living thing, stretched out a pair of wings made of stone, fluttered twice, and flew into the sky, and flew along the road, and disappeared into the darkness.
"Do you have to write this every time?"
Qiao Du asked curiously.
"You can think so."
Kiriyama wanted to say all that, but after a pause, he continued to explain.
"It's a gift [of the past], but it can't last long."
"It's home!"
Qiao Du couldn't help but applaud.
He felt that Kiriyama's ability was very fashionable, and he was a little fascinated.
After a while, the stone bird flew back and landed in the palm of the syrup.
"It's not far ahead, about an hour away."
The stone bird in Kiriyama's hand changed back to its original form, and he put it back on the ground and nodded in acknowledgment.
"An hour, so long!"
Qiao Du sighed and looked at the Misty Mountains again.
"Can't you just get a mount flying carpet or something, and let's fly over it with a whoosh?"
"There's no need for that."
Kiriyama didn't answer Qiao Dui, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again.
"If we make a big move, we might attract other enemies, and we can't guarantee that it's just those beasts."
"Oh!"
Qiao Du nodded vigorously.
The two of them just walked and chatted with each other, and an hour passed quickly.
At the end of the rough road, although it was still a barren and dark mountain terrain, and it was difficult to see anything, one could instinctively feel that something was standing.
Qiao Twilight raised the stone in his hand, the glimmer was swallowed by the darkness, he and the misty mountains walked forward, and where the moonlight shone, there seemed to be some man-made objects.
Suddenly, the light shone on a pair of shoes.
The shoes were old, torn, and seemed to have been soaked in water for some time.
Going up the shoe, Qiao Du saw blue pants, clothes, and, a face.
The lifeless, but funny smile on his face, stared at the two of them.
It's a dummy.
Qiao Du saw that there was also a sign next to the dummy, on which were words he didn't recognize, and through the translation of the Chosen Game, he could read what it meant.
"Grand Adventure Amusement Park".
The two of them raised their heads, and under the cold light, a behemoth beast appeared in front of their eyes.
