Chapter 67: Volcanic Eruption
But it is said that Wang Bashan, which is one hundred and eighty miles away from Horntun, suddenly burst open from the top of the mountain this day and night, and the crack of this red flame flame opened wider and wider like a huge mouth, until it reached the foot of the mountain. Immediately afterwards, the red and fiery magma spewed out with billowing smoke, lifting the cover of the Eight Mountains and soaring into the sky, and the sound of the explosion was deafening. Suddenly, this radius of dozens of miles of rocks flew sideways, becoming a sea of fire.
At the same time, in the midst of the crackling sound, two black figures were suddenly thrown out of the crack at the foot of the mountain, and their bodies drew two long arcs in the air, and they were thrown heavily to the halfway point of the Lion Peak fifty miles away.
After a long time, perhaps it was the roar of Wang Bashan's explosion that woke one of the people lying in the rubble. He sat up slowly, as if he was a little dizzy, and he looked up at the night sky as if it had been set on fire.
At this time, half of the sky in the northwest was full of fiery red colors, reflecting the sky as if it were day, and there was a rumbling sound in my ears—the roar of a waterfall falling from the peak, and the chilling sound of explosions and the neighing of wild beasts running in the distance...
He jumped to his feet and shouted loudly, "Ula ——! Ula quack—Prince Tushu——! where are you—"
"Ouch, Childe—Childe—I'm here!" came the voice of his companion not far away, and it was Ula Quack.
The person who woke up first was the little prince Peony Yong, at this time, with a strange red light, he saw Ula Quack, who had just gotten up and staggered, but he didn't hear the answer of Prince Tushu.
Peony Yong ran towards Ula and asked eagerly, "Are you injured? Where are you injured?"
Ullah croaked on one foot and said, "I don't know where the prince is." Ouch, my leg, my leg seems to be broken. Ouch, it hurts. ”
Peony Yong stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "You sit down first-"
Before he finished speaking, he was forced by Ulla to move his body with his hands and turn back 180 degrees, only to hear him say urgently: "Look, look, Childe! Look over there!"
Peony Yong saw it.
I saw that on a small hill dozens of miles to the northwest, a red flame was erupting strongly, and then slid down to the ground and rolled in all directions. Looking at the past from afar, it is like a sea of fire is rising, constantly devouring and encroaching on the territory in front of it. No wonder the sky is red, no wonder there are so loud explosions, no wonder all the creatures are screaming for flight! Oh my God, it's a volcano erupting!
Mudan Yong and Ula Quack stood on the pile of rocks halfway up the mountainside, both stunned by the scene in front of them.
After a while, Peony Yong was shocked and said, "Is it the mountain attached to the palace of Tuyouguo? God, what about them? Why are the two of us here? What about Prince Tushu? What about Princess Wan'er? What about the king and queen?"
Ulla croaked, "This - it doesn't seem to be the earth realm anymore, it's the mortal world! what? Is it just the two of us back to the mortal world? Are ?——they all finished?" he sat on the stone with his ass and screamed "oops" in pain in his legs.
Peony Yong felt a little crazy, and he angrily scolded Ula and croaked: "What do you mean it's all over? Nonsense! Don't we have their 'cross spirit talisman', let's go back and save them." As he spoke, he took out the cross from his sleeve, but as soon as the 'cross spirit talisman' saw the light of day, it immediately turned into a cloud of green smoke and dissipated.
Ula quacked at it, and also took off the 'cross spirit talisman' from his neck, and as soon as he held it in his hand, it immediately turned into green smoke and disappeared, leaving only an empty rope ring in his hand.
At this time, the little silkworm baby trembled and held the last 'cross spirit rune' to arch out the sachet, and this spirit rune turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated in an instant when it saw the wind. The flesh and bones are trembling, and such an environment is terrible for the baby silkworm. However, seeing that the little prince was so sad that he wanted to cry, he couldn't bear to hide in his little house and not come out.
He persuaded: "Little prince, it seems that the Tuyou Kingdom has fallen, and there is no way to do it." Maybe it's the way of heaven that we can't do anything about it. ε=( ́ο'*)))) Alas—" The words were persuaded, but even his idiomatic expressions of hee became sighs.
Peony looked blankly at the empty palm that he was holding the 'Cross Spirit Rune' just now, and tears welled up in his eyes. He cried and said, "They all blame me, it's all my fault! Grandpa Wang said that improper use of magic weapons will bring about unwarranted disasters! It's all my fault! I brought them a catastrophe." Woo woo ---".
At this moment, his eyes kept flashing the faces of the prince of the unearthed tree, the little princess Wan'er, and the people of the earth who he had treated with the 'Lotus Divine Bead', and a great pain that he had never felt before pierced his heart. It was the first time in his life that he had tasted this deep guilt, the powerlessness of being unable to do anything about it, and it was also the first time that it had bitten so strongly into his heart. He felt that something like the magma at the bottom of the mountain was tumbling in his heart, and the place he passed through was decaying, and in an instant it became a barren land.
Ah, yes, this flood of famine did destroy all his sense of superiority, including the arrogance that had always been hidden in his heart and thought he was smarter than anyone else.
It turned out that as the prince of the peony royal family in the Flower Fairy Realm, he was so small and insignificant between heaven and earth and nature! It can be seen how shallow his knowledge is! How limited his ability is!
Now that I think about it, how ridiculous it was that he was brilliant among his peers, proud of his pampering and arrogant among his elders, and showing off in front of everyone! When the disaster came, he, the peony prince who was born in the flower fairy world, could only run away to save his life! At this moment, Peony Yong completely fell into a kind of self-denial and self-deprecating emotions brought about by a sense of guilt.
Holding his thighs, Ula sat on the ground and said with a white face: "Childe, what are you talking about? We are not using magic weapons improperly, we are saving people's lives! Besides, we have been down to earth for less than two months, and we have not exceeded the time limit, so how can it be a disaster that we have brought about it! It is too unfair to say that we ourselves in this way. I don't believe it!" he was a little angry when he heard this, not to mention that he even broke his leg for this.
Peony Yong is still crying silently.
Seeing that the little prince was in such pain, Little Meat Gollum also pursed his lips and wanted to cry, but when he saw Ula Quack's angry appearance, he held back again.
It shuddered, "O little prince, Ula quack... That's right this time.,The Lotus Divine Bead is.。。。 It's a medical weapon, it's a good thing to cure diseases and save people, and it's also a matter of its part, Si Si -- this, this volcanic eruption and it, it seems to be a matter of irrelevance to the wind, the wind, the horses and the cows, and it can't complain about us or something. Sisi--"The well-behaved little silkworm baby changed Hee Hee to Si Si, and it used this mantra to hide its discomfort.
The volcano in the distance still erupts from time to time, and the early summer night is baked by the fiery magma. Although they were halfway up the Lion Peak, they still felt the heat wave on their faces, and the ensuing smoke and haze made people breathe poorly and very uncomfortable.
Ula quacked and cried bitterly for a long time, and seemed to be in a slightly better mood after listening to the words of the little meat grunt, so he whispered: "Childe, childe, I have a broken leg and can't move, quickly bring me the 'Lotus Divine Pearl' for treatment." ”
Peony Yong came back to his senses at this time, he wiped the tears on his face with the palm of his hand, and silently took out the 'Lotus Divine Pearl' and put it in Ula Qua's hand.
When the little flesh and bones saw this, they immediately shrank into their own nest.
Peony Yong turned and walked to the other side, and stood there in the wind, staring for a long time at the crater that was still erupting with stones and sulfur.
Although the words of the little silkworm baby and Ulla just now were very reasonable, he still couldn't get out of self-blame and self-pity. He felt that everything happened because of his mistake of not playing according to the rules. If it weren't for his own mistakes and didn't change them, if he didn't go down to earth privately, maybe none of this would have happened.
The wise men all say, "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles." "I haven't learned anything, I don't know anything, so I want to go down to the mortal world to do things. He wiped away the tears that flowed down again, and scolded himself in his heart, saying: I just think too highly of myself, but in fact I am nothing. Today, these are the inevitable results.
