Volume 1 Juvenile Adventures Chapter 822 The Hill Man and the Fire Demon
"You're friends with Mr. Haeva, aren't you? I'm Huck. At that moment, the man stretched out a hand, made a gesture of welcome, and said.
"Yes. Wuqi nodded, stepped forward to salute, and said, "My name is Wuqi." These are my friends and family. ”.
When Huck heard this, he immediately showed a friendly smile, but he didn't say any more nonsense, just exchanged a few polite greetings with everyone, got to know each other, and led everyone towards the depths of the dense forest.
In front of me is a dense forest that can definitely be called large, I don't know how many times larger than the forest of the Lanfa Continent, not to mention the vastness of the range, just say that the trees here are enough to make people shocked.
Although it was impossible to see the exact appearance of the tree because of the gray sky and the gray mist around it, the size of the tree was clearly visible, larger than any tree that everyone had ever seen before, and it was not twice as big as it was, but ten times as big.
With such a large tree and such a large area, the group of lawbreakers walking in the dense forest have a very special feeling, as if their bodies have shrunk all of a sudden, or they have come to the Giant Country, which is incredible.
Along the way, the group didn't have any extra conversations, they just followed Huck on and on, and I don't know how long it took and how many trees they walked through before they finally stopped.
And at this time, everyone saw a huge village, and at a glance, people were busy almost everywhere in front of them.
It's just that there is something special about this village, which is rooted in the depths of the dense forest, and there is not a single light in this gray light, and the whole village gives people an eerie feeling, as if this is not a place for living people, but a tomb.
Huck read everyone's thoughts, and explained with a calm smile: "Don't be afraid, we are used to living in this kind of lightless environment, so the village looks a little lifeless, even terrifying, Mr. Haiva's first time here, and he has the same expression as you, and when you come a few more times, you will get used to it." ”
"I see. ”
Hearing this explanation, everyone dispelled the uneasiness in their hearts and nodded as if they had realized.
The next moment, they entered the village under the leadership of Huck, Huck seemed to be very popular in the village, as soon as the villagers saw him return, they all came forward to greet him warmly, but it was strange that this group of strange visitors made the villagers look at them strangely, as if they were guarding against thieves, and their expressions became more and more unkind.
However, this is just a few people's speculation, because these people are very strange, everyone has sunglasses on their faces, blocking their eyes, it is impossible to see what the gaze is at this time, and it can only be speculated from the behavior and attitude of these people.
"Huck, you're back!"
A few minutes later, a deep voice came from a chic hut, and a man with long wavy hair of a well-rounded figure stepped out of the hut as if he were walking, walking very freely and easily, with a faint smile on his face.
This person, who does not have any powerful aura in his body, is the most ordinary ordinary person like Huck, but has a strong self-confidence that exudes from time to time, making people feel both mysterious and powerful.
"Hello Patriarch!" Huck heard this, hurriedly saluted, and after bowing respectfully to the visitor, he began to introduce Wuqi and his party to him.
"Patriarch, these are friends of Mr. Haiva. They were human, and Mr. Haiva said they wanted to find you, so I brought them here. Then you talk to them, and I won't delay you here. ”
After saying this, Huck quickly turned his head and saluted Wuqi and his party, and then left the place directly, acting extremely simply and without delay.
Seeing this, Wuqi nodded gratefully, and then fell on the patriarch, directly explained the intention, and gave the patriarch a friendly smile, and said, "Presumably you are the Magulas patriarch Haiwa said, right? ”
"Hello!"
Magulas's attitude was very warm, perhaps because he heard that Wuqi was Haiva's friend, and he was very excited, and said, "Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, you are human, aren't you? It's an honor to meet you today, and can I invite you to our banquet?"
In the face of such a warm invitation, it was difficult to refuse, Wuqi did not refuse, and readily agreed, but he didn't expect that Magulas's hospitality was actually a full three days, which made him a little unbelievable, how could there be such an enthusiastic person in this world.
However, in three days, the amount of information obtained by Wuqi is huge.
From Magulas, he learned that the people here were not really humans, although they resembled humans. Because, they have a completely different body structure from humans, and the race of these people is called Hill, and the reason why they call themselves Hill people is because they want to become real humans.
As for what to do, there are many people, some people feel that their race's facial features are too flawed, not as perfect as human facial features, so they have always hoped that they can be as sound as human beings, and some are because the Hill tribe itself cannot practice this, so they envy the physique that humans can cultivate, so they call themselves Hill people.
During these three days, Wuqi heard a variety of reasons, but there was one reason that surprised him in particular, and that was the reason of the patriarch Magulas. Magulas tells Wuqi that she calls herself a Hill because she believes that the genealogical records and legends are true and not apocryphal.
There is such a legend on the genealogy of the Hill clan, the legend says that a long time ago, they were not creatures in the world, but a race living in hell, and it is precisely because of this that the Hill tribe has been in a dark and damp environment since birth, and does not like sunlight, but it is not recorded why they moved from hell to the world for some reason.
This period of history is blank for Magulas and the entire Hil tribe, and can only be guessed by themselves, but cannot be confirmed.
"Hell!Patriarch Magulas, do you really believe that there is a hell in this world?" Wuqi was deeply curious when he heard Magulas's reason, and he was the first to ask.
When Magulas heard this, he first nodded affirmatively, but then shook his head negatively, and said uncertainly: "This, how to say it."
To be honest, if you look at it from an emotional point of view, I believe it, but from a rational point of view, I don't believe it. Because if hell really exists, I can't figure out why we have to move to the human world for anything. ”
"Yes. Wuqi nodded slightly, agreeing with this point of view, and said, "I think so too, and besides, I believe in the latter more." If there really is hell, many things will be difficult to explain.
Because hell is the place where the souls of the dead are in charge of what we humans say, and if it really exists, it means that you are all just souls, and even if you move from hell to the earth, there should be no flesh and blood, but don't you have flesh and blood, right? So, ......."
At this point, Wuqi stopped talking, and the words stopped abruptly, and Magulas understood what Wuqi meant, and nodded in agreement.
The next moment, the two began a more detailed conversation, but the subject changed to the end of the East.
Wuqi asked straight to the point: "Patriarch, I heard that this Hell Islands are connected to the land at the eastern end of the sea, is this true?"
"Hmm. As you say, yes. Magulas replied in the affirmative, nodded without thinking, and said.
Wuqi was a little excited when he heard this, and asked: "Then can you tell me how to get to the end of the east?" I heard that the continent at the end of the east is far, far away from here, and Haiwa once said that even if it swims for a lifetime, it can't swim there, do you have any way to speed up our journey?"
"There really is no way, Haiwa is right, the end of the east of the sea is indeed far away from us. However, it is also true that it is connected to our Hell Islands. If you really want to go, you can go all the way east from us, as long as you climb over the Flaming Mountain, walk through the Ghost Forest, and then cross the Three Insect Gate, you can enter the continent at the end of the east. ”
Undoubtedly, this answer was disappointing, because they did not get the way to speed up the journey, but they were still grateful to the patriarch of the Hir, Magulas, because after all, the other party showed them a route to the end of the east.
"In that case, then we won't stay here for long, thank you for your hospitality, Patriarch. ”
So, three days later, Wuqi made a decision to leave here with his companions and go to the flaming mountain closest to here. As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by Magulas and said, "No! you can't go to the Flaming Mountain yet!"
"What is it for?" everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and asked subconsciously.
"As the name suggests, the Flaming Mountain not only has mountains, but also a lot of fire. It's not a place for ordinary people to go, and if you really want to climb over the Flaming Mountain, it's best to stay with us in the Hill for a while and wait until winter. In winter, the flames there will be much smaller, and, more importantly, the Flame Mountain will be inhabited by a strong clan of fire demons.
If you go now, it will only become black ashes, and there will be no ashes left that they burn, but it will hibernate in winter, so it is safer for you all to stay first, and go in winter. ”
Hearing this suggestion, everyone's hearts were warm, and they couldn't help but be a little moved, but at this time, what the group cared about was not Magulas's concern, but the word he just mentioned, the fire demon.
"What is the Fire Demon, is it also a race?" asked Wuqi curiously.
"Not bad. Magulas nodded slightly, without any emotion, and explained directly: "The Flame Demon Clan is an existence that was naturally conceived after the flames of the Flame Mountain were scorched for an unknown number of years. They are all flames, no flesh and blood, and no substance, but they are just as emotional and can talk as we Hills and you humans, but they are too impulsive.
Of course, their tempers are also very short-tempered, once anyone offends them, there will be no good results, either there are no ashes left by the fire of the Flame Mountain, or their souls are ignited by the Flame Demon Clan, and they completely become a walking corpse with no soul and only a body. ”
"Such a powerful !! can even ignite the soul !!?" This answer made everyone completely surprised, and they asked in unison.
