The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 156
Yang Yang, who was thrown down again inexplicably, looked at the moon for a while by himself, and deeply felt what it means to be a dog in the sun, and then stood up unsteadily.

He looked at the environment in front of him, it was a clearing in the forest, other than that, he couldn't see any clues.

He calculated that since he entered the mountain this time, he had been thrown down countless times, let alone the first few times, at least he had someone to accompany him, even if it was Meng Xiu's time, there was a real excuse.Only this time, Yang Yang was completely speechless to that rabbit spirit who didn't know what he was thinking or what purpose he had.

Could it be that the rabbit spirit worked so hard to offend the mountain god of the [-] mountains, destroy the priests and rush into the altar to take him away, just to find a place to throw him away?This brain circuit... is too weird, right?

Or maybe it's just out for a while?
Yang Yang thought so, and asked himself a question, if it was only going out for a while, should he wait here for it to come back?

After asking himself this question, Yang Yang immediately chose a random direction with lightning speed, and then quickly ran into the forest.

Just kidding, he is not stupid, since the rabbit spirit is gone, of course he has to go too!Otherwise why stay there?Waiting to be eaten?
But not long after he left, he discovered a problem. First of all, he didn't know where to go.

Because he was held in his mouth, he was completely dizzy in the second half of the journey, and he couldn't tell the difference between the east, the south, and the north. Therefore, he had no clue in which direction the rabbit spirit walked and how long he walked.

At this time, if it is an experienced field survival expert or a senior donkey friend, they may be able to distinguish the direction according to the growth of the moon or trees, but for Yang Yang, this is an impossible task.

Is he really going to die here this time?
At this moment, a light suddenly lit up in the forest, not so hot and bright.But one by one, like stars, small and gentle light.These lights are none other than the light of the spirit that Yang Yang is familiar with.

He remembered Yuan Mu once said that spirits can only be produced where the vitality of living beings is strong, which is why they didn't doubt Du Ruo's spirit after seeing her.

Before Yang Yang understood why so many spirits suddenly appeared, he saw those spirits gradually gather, just like when they first entered the mountain, slowly forming a long and narrow belt.Yang Yang looked at the belt formed by the spirit, and thought, shouldn't I follow them forward?
When he was thinking like this, he suddenly found that the Kunlun Pharmacist Stone hanging on his chest started to feel hot again.

But it was different from the heat that would burn one's skin that night, this time the temperature was very close to the warmth of ironing one's skin.

Yang Yang took the bead out of his clothes curiously, and then took it off his neck, wanting to take it in front of his eyes and observe why it changes the temperature.

But when he held the pharmacist's stone in his hand to look at it, he realized that the one in his hand was not the pharmacist's stone he had seen before.

The Medicine Master's Stone in front of him has changed from pure black to a somewhat transparent glazed black, and the white line that wrapped around it and cut it off at the middle has disappeared, or it can't be said to be gone, but has become very small.If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

Where did the white line go?Yang Yang is very sure that this bead has never left his side, so it is impossible for someone to drop it. In this case, it must be the one Yuan Mu gave him, but...why did it change?
Just when he was puzzled, those spirits floating in the air suddenly rushed towards the Medicine Stone in his hand like moths seeing the flame.

Yang Yang stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him. Every time a spirit fell into the pharmacist stone, the color of the pharmacist stone became lighter. In the end, the originally pitch-black pharmacist stone almost became transparent.

At this time, a thin white line extended from the middle of the pharmacist's bead, it circled Yang Yang twice, and then floated away.And that direction is exactly the same as the direction the spirit drifted to just now.

Yang Yang stopped at the spot and thought for a while, then raised his legs and walked in that direction.

Just like Wu Yi said, for a mortal like him, without the help of Yuan Mu and other monsters, he would not be able to cope with the vast mountain forest alone, let alone the countless monsters hidden in it.

This time the action was different from any previous ones. In every previous action, there were people around him. Even if there was no one around him, he knew clearly in his heart how to deal with an accident.

Whether it is Heyi or Danxun Mountain, when Yuan Mu and the others are beyond their reach, Yang Yang knows that he can escape safely—for him as a human being, as long as he can see the smoke of people, he can see hope. As long as he can get in touch with civilized society, he will have confidence in his heart.

But this time is different, not to mention that he is now in the inner mountain of Shiwan Dashan, even if it is in the hinterland of the outer mountain of Shiwan Dashan, the possibility of him going out alone is very slim.

In front of the creation of heaven and earth, how humble and insignificant are human beings?Yang Yang is still very self-aware about this.

It is precisely because of this that he was so desperate this time, that he later came up with the idea of ​​"I'm going to die anyway, so it's better to pay off all the debts I owe before I die, so I can go on the road easily".

And the heaviest debt he has to pay is the death of Ba She.

Yang Yang walked forward while thinking, but disappeared after more than half a walk, whether it was the belt made of spirits or the thread drawn from the medicine master's bead, there was no intention of stopping at all.

"If it weren't for the rabbit that Meng Xiu gave me, I might not even be able to climb now." Yang Yang said something to himself, leaned against a tree for a while, and then stood up keep going.

To be honest, after not holding the snake egg, his movements were much faster, but whenever he thought of the snake egg standing in the middle of the altar, he still felt sad for a while.

It has been several hours since I was taken away by that rabbit spirit, and I don't know what happened to Ba Snake?If I am not around, the sacrifice will definitely not be able to continue. What will happen to the descendants of the witches?Come find me?Or just hold that egg and wait for them to come and throw themselves into the trap?
Yang Yang thought for a while but didn't come up with any results. As soon as he looked up, he found a particularly strange situation. The spirit belt that existed a few minutes ago suddenly dispersed, as if it had never existed before, and dissipated in the in the air.

As well as the Medicine Master Bead, the white thread that was originally entangled in it came back, and the bead itself changed from the luminous crystal clear white to the same black as before.

Looking at these changes, Yang Yang was a little puzzled, and suddenly heard a voice from beside him, saying, "Yang Yang?"

The moment he heard this voice, Yang Yang felt that the blood in his whole body was congealed, he turned his head a little stiffly, and saw Yuan Mu with a worried face coming from not far away.

It was the same the day before yesterday, a man came out of the bushes with a worried expression on his face, calling his name.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang felt that the hairs on the back of his neck exploded, he took a deep breath, turned his head and ran wildly.

At this time, his mind had lost all reason, only a voice kept saying to him, run, run quickly!If you slow down, you will die!

He didn't know how long he ran, but when he felt his heart was about to burst, he finally stopped.

At this moment, he no longer knew where he had run to, and a buzzing sound of "嗡—嗡—" began to be heard in his ears, and the sound of his heartbeat became louder and louder.He slowly fell to his knees, letting the sweat flow down his temples to his chin, and finally into his clothes.

He finally knew why the Malays wanted someone to pretend to be Yuan Mu, because of his reaction today.

From then on, he would never believe what he saw again, even if the real Yuan Mu appeared in front of his eyes, deep down in his heart, he would keep doubting, is this the real Yuan Mu?

The so-called suspected neighbor stealing the ax is nothing more than that.

Ten minutes later, when Yang Yang's heartbeat finally returned to a normal level, he stood up slowly, thinking of what he had done before, he felt a little regretful and a little scared.

Regrettably, if what he saw just now was the real Yuan Mu, he would be surprised.

The last thing I was afraid of was, if what I just met was the same person pretending to be Yuan Mu, then if I didn't run away, what would be waiting for him?

Just when he was struggling, there was a rattling sound behind him, and then a voice said, "Have you run enough?"

Yang Yang turned his head and looked over, and saw a familiar face. He exhausted all his strength to suppress the urge to run away, and asked, "Yuan Mu?"

"Who else could it be if it's not me?" Hearing his question, Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows. When he found Yang Yang's tightly clenched hands, he slowed down and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why did you see me? run?"

Regarding his question, Yang Yang chose to remain silent.He didn't know where to start, but he felt that it was not good to keep silent like this, so he thought about it and chose to change the subject: "Why are you here?"

Startled by Yang Yang's question, Yuan Mu said, "Why did I come here? How could you ask such a question? Of course we have to come looking for you when you and Meng Xiu disappeared!"

Faced with Yuan Mu's natural attitude, Yang Yang chose to remain silent, and said after a while: "Meng Xiu and I... have separated."

"I know." Yuan Mu nodded, and said, "So I have asked Yu Zhongwu to find him." He paused, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Yang Yang shook his head and said softly.

He had already figured it out, whether he wanted to or not, he had to act with this Yuan Mu from now on.Because no matter whether he is true or not, he will never let himself out of his sight again.
