44. Giant serpent
"Why does it seem to be ...... today? How hot does it feel?"
In the villages below the "Throat of the World" mountain, the villagers clearly feel the abnormality of today - in this place, even on a sunny day, the temperature cannot be said to be "warm". This time, however, many villagers found that when they walked out in yesterday's clothes, their bodies began to sweat uncontrollably.
Isn't this kind of temperature supposed to be only available in the middle of summer?
The villagers couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
In the past, I believe that many villagers would have lamented the arrival of sunny weather and would have hoped that the weather would be as good as possible - but after living a smooth life for more than ten years, the villagers no longer have the same expectations for sunny days as their ancestors, because they have long been accustomed to "good weather".
And such an abnormally sunny day has already aroused the alarm of some thoughtful people.
"It's unusual to have weather like this. ”
The grocery store owner looked worriedly at the "throat of the world", and the change in temperature was very abrupt, which reminded him of the snow-capped mountains where the wind and clouds gathered. Because he was sure that in the early hours of this morning, there was no such strange temperature change.
That is, more than an hour ago, it started to heat up.
However, he soon saw on that familiar snow-capped mountain, a scene that he had never seen before.
"That's ...... What ......"
A heartfelt tremor made him immediately weaken his legs and fall to the ground. The abnormality of the grocery store owner. Caught the attention of the surrounding villagers, and when they followed the terrified gaze of the grocery store owner. After looking at the mountain in the distance...... Without exception, they all fell into fear and sluggishness.
"Snake ......"
Even if it's far away. The huge creature that winds between the mountain peaks can also be captured by the eyesight of ordinary humans, and you can imagine how huge the size of this "snake" is.
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this......" The grocery store owner looked at the terrifying giant monster in amazement, constantly wringing his body, moving from the mountains to the bottom of the mountains. It took him a while to come to his senses.
His body, his brain, at this moment, is constantly issuing alarms - as long as you are not a fool, you should always see where this giant snake is heading!
That's exactly their village!
The huge sense of crisis evoked the grocery store owner's natural will to survive, and he gritted his teeth and swallowed those meaningless screams. Struggling to get up from the ground. Now, the serpent was still some distance away, but the grocer knew that the snakes must not be slow at all—this distance. It wouldn't be long before he was crossed by the other party, and if he couldn't evacuate to a safe place before then, he didn't dare to gamble. Whether the snake eats meat or vegetarian.
And, even if this giant snake didn't come to forage for food. Just its gigantic body, if it had run over the village. The damage caused by the earthquake will probably not be inferior to that of a major earthquake. If you don't evacuate quickly, the waiting ending is obviously only a dead end!
Thinking of this, the grocery store owner hurriedly greeted the surrounding villagers.
"What's the problem!? Hurry up and run! Take your families with you and run away desperately!"
With this roar, he ran away without looking back, unlegging - his target was the stable of the village. His wife has long since passed away, but his son is still on the snowy mountain, not knowing life and death.
There were only so many horses in the stables that it was impossible to say that there were more of them in an emergency—that is, to get to where the whole village was thrown into chaos and the villagers were mad, they could grab a good horse and flee from the place before they went crazy.
At this time, he didn't care about any "mutual aid", he didn't owe anything to his neighbors in the past, and there was really no reason to divide his mind to "take care" of them. As for what happens to those who don't have time to grab a horse...... Leave it to fate.
"This state of affairs...... Do you have to go to the nearby city-state for help?"
The grocery store owner, who was on the run, looked back at the boiling village with fear, and finally fell on the grocery store he had run all his life. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth, turned on his horse, and hurried in the direction of the nearest city-state without looking back.
......
Not to mention what the village has become, in the stronghold of the Celestials, those Celestials who survived because they did not attack with Kelly are blocking the door of Kelly's resting room. Many of them, with angry faces on their faces, confronted Frey who was guarding the door.
"Woman, will you get out of the way!"
"As I said, Kelly is now injured and recuperating, if you want to see her, restrain this frizzy attitude!"
Faced with a group of armed Celestials, Frey confronted them head-on without fear: "You say that I have evil intentions, I can understand, but it doesn't mean that I have to suffer your anger here! Since you think that Kelly's injuries and the deaths of those Celestials are my conspiracy, then you can come and kill me-if you have enough evidence and confidence to think so, then you can try to take my life!" However, if you just want to vent your dissatisfaction and anxiety, find a corner where there is no one and don't use women to vent!"
Frey's gaze swept around the hall coldly, and for a while, a group of big men were stared at by the gaze of this "weak woman".
"I'll give you a little time to sort out your thoughts!" Apparently shorter than all the men, Frey seemed to be looking down at everyone present, "You, you, you...... And you! Wait until you calm down and talk about the others! Other people, restrain your feelings, three by three, and go in to see Kelly in batches. ”
Frey doesn't think of herself as an outsider in the slightest. The appearance of giving orders to the Celestial Realm people present very naturally made these Celestial Realm people look at each other as well. If she's really ill-intentioned. If you want to harm your own corps, it seems like ...... Shouldn't that be the attitude?
"Why can't we ......"
"Because you guys were the most uproarious just now!" Frey glared at the Celestials she had just named. "Your hearts are too chaotic, so calm down before talking about anything else. By the time the people in front of you have finished visiting Kelly, you should be able to get some information from their mouths...... Otherwise, I really don't dare to let you in!What should I do if the excitement affects Kelly's rest and recovery!?"
"And a few of you! Be conscious, don't make loud noises, and don't move around. Did you hear that?"
Frey threatened in a low voice at the three men who had first begun to go in to check on Kelly.
――This woman is too familiar, isn't she!?
The celestials present. The corners of their eyes twitched, and they looked at this commanding earth--but somehow, this arrogant posture seemed to be particularly convincing. The Celestial warriors, who had been restless before, had now settled down...... The named by Frey also "obediently" went to the corner to "calm down" under the "urging" of their companions.
[You, I always feel that you were born to be a political commissar......]
[Commissar?What's that?]
In response to Frey's question, Aisha just pouted. She did not answer - after all, she found that if she were to summarize it in a language that was in line with the understanding of the locals, it would seem to be a "prison guard"? But obviously there's a big difference between the two, isn't it?
It seems difficult to explain the sickle and hammer to the people here......
[Little love, Sasha her...... How's it going?]
"Ho-ho, you look. Seems to care about that idiot?]
Although she couldn't see the expression on Aisha's face, Frey still read Aisha's words. Hearing a hint of ridicule - in fact, Frey, who was not thick-skinned, stuttered a little on the spot.
[Say...... What to say?]
She took several deep breaths in a row. Only then could he keep the expression on his face from being exposed, but in the eyes of those Celestial Realm people outside, this beautiful girl had a cold face, and she was violently bullied several times on her chest, and she suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart—in their opinion, this was a portrayal of Frey's bad mood!
Saying...... This girl's boobs are so tempting......
Fortunately, Frey's mind was not here now, and she didn't notice the gaze that these celestial men were throwing on her chest, otherwise no matter how good her cultivation was, she would have to be angry.
[Don't worry, she just doesn't want you to see her wolf side, I've already seen her injuries, although it's a little troublesome, but it's not in the way.] I guess it won't be long before she can handle it and run out to meet you, right? By the way, if those Celestial Realm people have any bad intentions, you can just call for help - Sasha can hear that guy no matter where he is. 】
Frey was tempted to say that there was no need to do this, after all, those people from the Celestial Realm seemed to be some of the more enthusiastic men, and there were many calm people among them, who didn't look like they would do anything drastic. However, after hearing Aisha's words, Frey's mind couldn't help but imagine herself like the princess who was captured by the evil dragon in the story, waiting for the brave to come and save her......
[Eh, can't you see that a girl with a cold appearance like Frey, in fact, is like those ordinary girls, looking forward to the drama of the brave and the princess?]
【Little Love!?】
[Although this kind of call can't peek into your deep thoughts, but Frey, you have put your fantasies to the outermost edge, and it's hard for me to see it.] 】
Aisha suddenly felt that this situation was actually normal - anyway, Frey was also a girl who had never been out of the house, even if she had some inexplicable identities and responsibilities, and at the same time knew a lot of information that ordinary people couldn't understand at all, but she was essentially just a girl.
Ordinary girls are good - people with a personality like Miss Purple Ponytail are the most incompatible with girls with gentle and ordinary personalities.
[Xiao Ai, don't you come out and introduce yourself to them?]
[No, I also know your situation, so I won't trouble you any more--Sasha's identity will have to be explained in a few words.] If you have one more me, you will have a hard time. Now the Celestial woman is still unconscious. Be careful yourself...... It's indispensable to defend against people, remember?]
[Understood.] What about the little love for you?]
[The snake made me care a lot, and now it seems to have woken up from its previous state of rage, so let's try to communicate with it......]
【Go and talk to it!?】Frey couldn't help but be taken aback by Aisha's suggestion, "Are you serious......?" It's the culprit who hurt Sasha a lot!]
Frey really couldn't understand why Xiao Ai would even plan to communicate peacefully with her sister when she beat her sister into a badly injured guy? Find the door to avenge your sister!
[The conditions are not allowed.] 】
Aisha sighed helplessly.
Now the big snake has come down the mountain, and there is a small village in the direction of its head. If I had fought it, the aftermath of the battle would have completely razed the village, but if I had left it alone, I would have guessed that the village would have been destroyed as well...... I know it's your village. So, I can't fight, and I can't sit idly by, so I can only try to 'communicate' with it." 】
Frey was stunned.
- The serpent. Heading in the direction of your village?
Even if she doesn't like her snobbish and vulgar family members very much, there are no shortage of good people in this village - there are ignorant, stubborn and greedy. But simple and kind people are not uncommon, and Frey still has a lot of affection for this village, besides. Nothing else, the little ones in the village. She couldn't rest assured.
【Little Love...... Please!I will definitely repay you for this kindness......]
[Well.] You don't need to say that I'll do the same~ As for repaying something, well, if you have the heart, please correct the three views of this stupid person......, Sasha?
[Don't say it, I seem to be some kind of paranoid middle school girl with two diseases!]
Miss Purple Ponytail suddenly interjected into the conversation between the two - well, even if Aisha was encrypted, there was no way to stop Miss Purple Ponytail from forcibly joining.
[Is it true that it has recovered so quickly?, my stupid sister......]
[You stop for me, don't run!, I promise not to kill you!]
[No, unlike a certain scrap of wood that can't be carried by some minor injuries, there is a great sister who is now about to do a feat of great humanitarian glory - if you want to be coquettish, wait until I come back from my errands, my stupid sister......]
Frei suddenly felt that the reason why Sasha treated Xiao Ai so badly was actually a big deal with her, and it was all her sister's own problem, right?
......
Aisha is certainly not in the stronghold of the Celestial Realm, so even if Miss Purple Ponytail is teased and wants to pounce on her and bite her, there is no way to do so for the time being. Now she is following the giant serpent through the mountains.
"Sure enough, its power and nature are very close to the 'sun'. ”
From the traces left by this giant snake all the way, it is really easy to analyze the attributes and composition of the opponent's strength. Aisha easily analysed the composition of the other party's power - although she did not know why the serpent had a power similar to that of the "sun", as evidenced by a series of appearances.
Beings with this kind of power should not be some evil and shady people. Along the way, Aisha didn't notice what the serpent had done to kill the creatures along its path - even most of the creatures were stupid when it arrived, but as long as it didn't block its path, there were no casualties.
...... And the poor creatures who stand in the way...... Well, I guess I didn't feel anything when the giant snake ran over them, right?
It doesn't seem to be a murderous person, after getting out of the angry state, although the deterrent power of this giant snake is extremely huge, Cutie Sha really didn't feel any haze and evil aura on its body...... It is not surprising that the holder of the power of the sun has such an appearance.
But think of it before. The people of the Celestial Realm who were killed by this angry serpent, Aisha was also very helpless - this beam was completely concluded, right? Aisha really couldn't think of it. How can you "persuade" Kelly to let go of her hatred for the time being...... His subordinates were killed for no reason, if only Kelly could "generously" let go of this hatred. Thinking about her corps, she can't sustain it anymore, right?
After all, she was definitely not the only one who was angry, and the attitude of those dead Heavenly Realm comrades-in-arms towards this murderer in their hearts was completely conceivable.
Sue them, in fact, it is not the fault of this snake, but the provocation of a handful of people with ulterior motives, and finally caused a tragedy. So if you want to seek revenge, you also need to find those Celestial people with evil intentions?
“...... It's hard. ”
Aisha also understood that it was basically impossible to get those Celestial Realm people to give up seeking revenge against this great snake. At present, I can only hope that the celestial woman named Kelly will wake up later......
At this time, the giant snake also noticed that there was a "little guy" who had been following him in the rear, but because Aisha had been very generous from the beginning and did not hide his whereabouts, such a gesture was obvious. Let the giant snake, which had just encountered an attack, accept it with peace of mind.
It propped up its form, and the snake letter swallowed rhythmically, as it showed friendship to the strong man. is also trying to analyze the actual strength of the other party - if Aisha was discovered while hiding her whereabouts, it is difficult to ensure that the way the giant snake "greets" is not a flame of sunshine......
Soon. It was a little surprised to find that this "little guy". The aura on his body is very similar to the enemy who attacked him before.
Is it the enemy?
The serpent looked at Aisha cautiously. Gazed at by such a pair of terrifying eyes that were extremely oppressive and intimidating. Rao is Aisha, but also feels a little weak - the huge difference in size, the sense of oppression brought about by the huge body size is indeed difficult to avoid. This giant serpent, in particular, has a great strength proportional to its size.
Aisha also noticed that there were clearly several mottled scars on the body of the giant snake.
Obviously, this must have been left by Miss Purple Horsetail before, otherwise I would expect her to be able to retreat with peace of mind?
[You, can you hear me?]
Aisha tried to establish a spiritual connection with the snake, after all, although Aisha claimed to be knowledgeable, she also knew nothing about the language of snakes. And whether this giant snake will use its spiritual power to have a conversation, Aisha feels that there is not much speculation at all - how can it be that the person who knows how to exercise such dangerous power is just a "gifted" beast?
Sure enough, Aisha got a reply.
【Are you ...... Human?no, although the aura of 'human' on your body is stronger than that guy before, but...... It doesn't seem to be like a human ...... anymore.]
Some of the voices that sounded in Aisha's head were not those of a thick adult. The body of this giant snake stretches for nearly a kilometer, and its image is also hideous and aggressive, but the voice that resounded in Aisha's head was actually a ...... The voice of a child who hasn't grown up yet?
Aisha was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses - the contrast between this voice and her image is too great, right? The most terrible thing is that even if the child's voice is not enough, whether it is plain with arrogance, noble with tsundere, even if it is brutal and rude, Aisha can accept it...... But why does the snake's voice sound ...... There seems to be some weakness?
Yes, that's right, it's a little cringe!
"I'm human now. 】
[Hmm...... In other words, is your "human" identity only "temporary"?
[It's hard to say, but I really couldn't be considered a human before--is the question of race that important?, in that case, how do you classify it?]
This question directly bothered the giant snake.
[Hmm, do you see that?]
It stands to reason that there is no expression on the snake's face, but this giant snake is obviously in trouble.
[To be honest, I don't know very much about it myself...... Because I've just woken up, and now my mind is a mess - anyway, it's so tiring to communicate like this, can I talk to you in a different way?" (To be continued......
