Chapter 7 The Great Hundred Feet
Chapter 7 The Great Hundred Feet
"Sweet potato?" Jue jumped a few times and stopped on the treetop beside the girl, looking very surprised.
"Mother Jue..."The sweet potato muttered softly, and when she saw Jue in front of her, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, revealing two tiger teeth. The moonlight was shining, and the dense fog in the forest had cleared at some point. The moonlight sprinkled on the girl's body like water waves, reflecting her skin almost transparently.
"Sweet potato...... Why are you here?" Jue looked at the scene in front of him, and his voice slowly calmed down, "Your ...... Are the injuries on your body okay?"
"Well, soon after you left, I recovered, and then I came out to look for you. Sweet potato replied with a smile, his eyes bent into two crescents narrowed slightly, "Mother Jue, let's go home." ”
Her eyes reflected the bright moon in the sky, shining with a bluish halo, and a little starlight seemed to shine through her pupils. The sweet potato opened his arms and made a slightly awkward hugging gesture, quietly looking into Jue's eyes with a smile on his face.
"Go home, go home...... That's right, it's time to go home......" Jue's voice became smaller and smaller, and a light blue was reflected in his black pupils. His eyes were full of the weak figure of the sweet potato, and the hand holding the knife slowly loosened, and his body fell into the girl's arms as if it could not be supported......
At the moment when Jue was about to lean into the arms of the sweet potato, two silver lights suddenly flew out of the forest. A silver light flew to Jue's feet, wrapped around his calf a few times, and then dragged Jue off the treetops. The other one grabbed the shoulder of the sweet potato, the silver light flashed, and the girl's figure was cut into three sections in front of Jue's eyes, and blood burst out......
Jue's vague spirit vaguely recognized that the silver thread under his feet belonged to Wild Dream, so he didn't resist. And when the blood of the sweet potato spilled in front of him, he was stunned:
"No!"
Jue was pulled to the ground by the silver wire, and the huge impact force made him roll a few times, smashing up a large cloud of dust. And when he had just stabilized himself, a short knife was already in his hand, and he turned over and stood up and shouted at the two of them:
"Do you know what you've done?!"
"Do you know what you've done?" Ye Meng took back the silver thread and scolded, "If we don't save you, you'll be eaten by worms!Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao!Come here, can I wipe you and collapse again?!"
Jue settled down, only to see that he was still in the dense fog of the forest, looking up, the moonlight was almost invisible under the thick fog, and the just clear sky was like a dream. He shook his head a few times, turned around, and saw Mo Xiao dancing in the forest......
"Centipede...... It's a centipede...... So long, so many legs, fluffy, fluffy!hahahahaha...... Centipede! Centipede ......."
"He, what's wrong?" Jue pointed at Mo Xiao, then pointed to his head, and gestured a few times.
"It's not crazy, but it's going to be fast. Nomu shook his head and said to Nunu under the tree, "Look at what the thing you were about to hold just now is, and you will know how he became like this." ”
The fog was so thick that it was almost impossible to see all around. Jue leaned under the tree, carefully identified, and involuntarily shuddered.
It was a giant centipede-like worm, with only the top half of its body left on the ground. Extrapolating from the length of the incision, the bug was at least a dozen meters long when it was alive. Its legs are as slender as hairy whiskers on both sides of its flat body, and if you look closely, you will see that each hairy whisker is composed of dozens of small bone joints, and the hairs are so dense that they are almost impossible to count. The huge body is divided into a fleshy soft shell, which is black as a whole, and the green blood vessels and connecting membranes are faintly visible under the soft shell, which looks very disgusting. His head has two huge antennae, the tentacles are constantly branching like tree branches, and a large area like a network is formed in front of the head of the giant insect, and the head has no eyes, relying entirely on the antennae to perceive the outside world. The most chilling thing is its huge mouth, which starts from the head down to the upper jaw and extends all the way to the upper abdomen, and countless corpses are stuck to this "mouth" by the mucus, allowing them to be corroded by the digestive juice and make a soft sound.
"But I ...... just now"
"It's foggy in the forest, Mo Xiao pulled me to chase after you as soon as he saw you change routes, who knew that you ran so fast. As soon as we arrived, we saw a thing about twenty meters coiled on a tree, with tentacles on your shoulder, and not only did you not resist, but you also sent ...... into the worm's mouth" Ye Meng pursed his lips and looked at Mo Xiao who was fluttering like aquatic grass on the side" The incident happened suddenly, and the two of us didn't even see the appearance of the thing clearly before we made a move, I dragged you off with a golden wire, and the wire saw shot by Mo Xiao's mechanical arm cut the thing into three pieces at once. When the worm fell, the two of us saw it clearly, Mo Xiao hurriedly withdrew his hand, but a piece of the worm fell on him, and his hand grabbed a large handful of worm legs that looked like hairy whiskers in a hurry......"
Knowing the ins and outs, Jue nodded and walked towards Mo Xiao, who lit a match and played with his hand.
"Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao, listen to me. The thing you just killed wasn't a centipede. Jue shook Mo Xiao on the ground, and said with a serious face.
"A lot of legs, a lot of ...... No, it's not?"
"No, it's called Big Hundred Feet, it's a crab with many legs and a long body, and I've seen a lot of it by the sea. ”
"But it'......"
"It's nothing good, I used to eat it at the beach, don't you see it also walks sideways in the trees? ”
"Let's go, let's get on the road. Mo Xiao stood up, patted the dust behind him when he was rolling on the ground, and strode forward with resolute eyes.
"......, how do I feel that in the past few years, the most powerful thing that has dropped is not his strength, but his IQ?" Ye Meng looked at the firm back, holding his forehead and shaking his head helplessly.
"People sometimes need a reason to deceive themselves. Jue laughed softly, "And that thing...... That is, Mo Xiao, if he wanted to change someone, he might have collapsed a long time ago. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Forget it, I'll tell you about it slowly when I have time. Jue's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and he inserted the knife in his hand into the holster and followed the back.
。。。。。。
More than half an hour passed, Mo Xiao gradually recovered, and the surrounding fog was so thick that it almost hindered breathing.
"Let's rest for a while before we go. Mo Xiao stopped and sat on the fallen tree trunk on the side, "This fog is getting more and more wrong, if there is any way to disperse it, ......"
Before he finished speaking, Jue put a glass lampshade on the ground, and the flames burned in the lampshade, and the hot gas mixed with the unknown smoke was discharged from the top of the lampshade, which actually dispelled the fog between the three of them.
“...... Okay,! What is this? Where did it come from? And what's on your face? Why haven't you ever seen it?!"
"This is a fog-driving lamp, which Jue brought from his brother before leaving. We just wanted to use it, and seeing that you kept moving forward, we didn't have a chance to take it out. Ye Meng took off the half of the mask-like thing on his face and waved it at Mo Xiao, "Jue's younger brother called this thing 'gas mask', I don't know what the specific principle is, but it can filter the air, don't you think it becomes difficult to breathe?"
“...... I feel like I'm like an old peasant who has just gone from the countryside of Norton to the capital of the Eagle Shield Country, why can't I understand a word of what you say?" Mo Xiao raised his right hand and rubbed his face fiercely, "Who is this younger brother, where is he? I have to find him for a long time when I go back......
"My brother is Ah Jue's younger brother, there is a blacksmith shop in the city, but under normal circumstances, he tinkers with his invention in the dark room of the tavern...... "Ye Meng took out the water bladder, took off his mask and drank a big sip of the ale inside, and let out a long breath" Jue's tavern is also really powerful, not only the dark room for studying things, but also the training room and the weapon collection room, I heard that a secret passage was built to lead to the city. In the future, I'm going to find something good in the city, and I'll go straight to you. ”
"Don't ......" Jue just wanted to stop Ye Meng, but he had already heard him say it all. He raised his head and heard Mo Xiao's voice with a strange smile on the other side:
"Heh, this is what someone told me about his stable life, it's really 'ordinary'. Mo Xiao paused, and then said, "I don't think you will be able to help but follow if I don't call you this time?" That little thing in the veins is sometimes really hard to change......
Jue turned his head and glared at Ye Meng fiercely. Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually solidifying, Ye Meng stood up awkwardly, "What is there to talk about going back, it's important to hurry now......"
"I don't plan to say anything more, in fact, I also want this kind of "stable" life......" Mo Xiao smiled and glanced at Jue again, fiddled with the meter on his left arm a few times, and said with a smile:
"Road, I don't need to rush, it's here. ”
Ye Meng picked up the fog lamp and walked in surprise in the direction where Mo Xiao could see. He saw a dense vine bush in the dispersed fog, and followed Mo Xiao into it. The three of them walked slowly under the barrier of the vines, and suddenly, Nomu stepped on a flat ground, and his center of gravity was unstable and fell out of the vines.
It was a large clearing, and it looked nondescript in the middle of the forest. At this time, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and the fog outside was thick, but it seemed to be separated from the outside world by an invisible barrier, and there was no fog at all, and the view was extremely wide.
Mo Xiao picked up the wild dream on the ground, and the three of them walked inward along the continuous red brick courtyard wall in the open space in front of them.
After a while, a broken iron gate appeared at the end of the courtyard wall. The three pushed open the iron door and entered the courtyard, and a white European-style Western-style mansion appeared in front of the three of them.
The old yellowed walls of the Western-style pavilion are towering, the walls are painted with strange children's graffiti, and the swing in front of the door is gently swaying in the windless environment, and the door of the Western-style pavilion seems to welcome the arrival of the three people......
