Hunter x Hunter Rise Meteor Street

Chapter 12 Demonic Cliff

Baron heard Emma's cry and ran over with his gun. He pulled aside the bushes. Emma said to him with an embarrassed look:

"I'm fine! You step aside first."

"How can I be fine? There's blood on your pants. Did you get bit by a snake? Let me see the wound and see if I need to suck out the poison."

"I wasn't bitten by a snake. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."

"If you weren't bitten by a snake, how could there be so much blood? Could it be, uh..."

Baron thought so in his heart, and watched Emma get in the car with a dark face.

Emma found some bandages and absorbent cotton in the medicine box in the car and treated her body. It took a few minutes to get it done.

Baron continued to prepare dinner. He took out the dinner plate, knife and fork, set up a bonfire, and started frying steak in a hanging pot.

The fire was very strong, and the steak made a sizzling sound in the hot oil. When the seasoning was infiltrated into the meat, a tempting aroma floated into Emma's nose.

"I didn't expect you to bring so many things. This steak smells pretty good. Do you need my help?"

"I often go camping, so I have some experience. Are you okay? Just help me get a bottle of wine and a cup from the trunk. I'll fry an egg and we can eat."

"It's okay. I'll get it right away."

Emma opened the trunk and saw, my God, a folding shovel, towels, tents, sleeping sets, fishing rods, ropes, and a lot of things.

At the bottom, there was a small box with a bottle of wine and many small cups, and a lot of ice cubes to cool the wine.

Emma walked around the car with a bottle of wine in one hand and two cups in the other hand, and came to the folding dining table.

She found that everything was ready, waiting for her to sit down. The table was covered with a white tablecloth, and two plates were placed on each of them with a piece of steak and a fried egg with some red Linglong fruit. In the middle was a small vase with a bunch of unknown pink and blue wild flowers.

Under the night sky, the evening stars suddenly appeared. In the breeze of the forest, the light of the bonfire was dancing. The two of them ate steak quietly and occasionally drank a sip of red wine.

"Emma, ​​are you going to the Magic Rock with your health like this?"

"We are here, why not go? I can take care of myself. Just take care of your way."

"Okay, tell me if there is any situation."

In the depths of nature, without the restraint in the city, Emma felt particularly comfortable and pleasant with this meal.

She was full, drank the last sip of red wine, stretched her back, leaned against the back of the folding chair, took a deep breath through her nose, and closed her eyes.

What murderer, what royal marriage, what damn aunt, forget everything at this moment.

Baron smiled with a glass of wine, carefully looked at Emma opposite, and did not disturb her.

After a while, Emma heard a soothing and brisk waltz coming from the car, and then her hand felt the temperature from the touch of another hand.

She opened her eyes and saw Baron squatting in front of her and said:

"Can I ask you to dance with me, Emma?"

"Oh, it's inconvenient for me to be like this!"

"It doesn't matter. It's just you and me here. I don't mind the way you are now."

"You guys are just making things difficult for me."

"Come on, just consider it as my reward for cooking."

"Okay, I don't want to owe you anything, just dance."

Then the night fire reflected a pair of dancing figures, and the beautiful music echoed gently in the mountains.

It soon attracted many pairs of eyes in the woods. The rabbits in the hole poked their heads out to listen to the music. Several brave squirrels crowded in a row on the nearest branches. The colorful wild birds on the high branches frequently moved their heads and stared at them. The wild boar mother and the piglets lay on the ground leisurely, shaking their tails constantly.

It was late at night, the bonfire was still burning, the music stopped, the people in the car fell asleep, Baron was in the driver's seat, Emma was in the back, and the stars moved slowly in the sky.

The next morning, before the sun came out, Emma woke up first. She saw that the campfire last night was extinguished but still smoking, so she went forward and poured water on it.

She prepared breakfast and woke up Baron. After a simple meal, the two packed up and headed for the Yalula Valley.

Along the way, Baron led Emma with a long branch. They crossed the woods and swamps. As they moved forward, birds kept calling and leaving the branch.

Baron walked in front and used a long knife to cut the weeds and walked to a relatively wide meadow in the woods. The snake not far away heard the sound of the grass being cut and crawled away quietly.

Emma followed closely behind, observing the surrounding movements. Suddenly, Baron stopped moving, and Emma, ​​who continued to move forward, accidentally hit Baron's back with her head, "Hiss, ouch!" Emma whispered.

"Don't move, Emma. I'll count to three, then you squat down."

"Hmm!?"

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

Although Emma looked confused, she still did it.

At this time, Baron turned around, raised his knife and slashed it, a blood mist splashed in the air, and a black shadow flew over Emma's head, rolled a few times and fell more than ten meters away, flattening a large piece of weeds.

"What is that?"

"I'll take you to see it."

The two walked to the corpse lying in a pool of blood. It had a pointed mouth and ears, slender limbs, and a large piece of flesh membrane between the forelimbs and hind limbs. Saliva and blood kept flowing out of its sharp teeth, and its neck was cut by Baron.

"It was a flying wolf. It followed us all the way in the bushes. This grassland is relatively open and not a swamp. It can pounce on us at the fastest gliding speed, so it flew down from the tree to attack."

"You scared me. Why didn't you shoot it to death in the forest just now?"

"The bushes are so dense that it's hard to aim. If you don't hit the vital point, it will summon more companions to come, and that will be troublesome."

"Well, this guy doesn't make any sound. How did you detect it?"

"I heard birds flying away from the branches so high up, and I knew it was this guy coming."

"You are quite perceptive, Your Highness."

"You are here again. I asked you to practice a few times, and you can detect it yourself. Let's keep going. We will reach the Demon Cliff after passing through the woods in front."

"Well, Demon Cliff, here I come."

After walking for another hour, Emma looked at the trees above her head. The sun couldn't shine in because of the dense leaves, but she was already sweating all over. Just when she was about to ask Baron how far it was,

Baron used his hands to pull apart a patch of grass and said, "We're here!"

Emma ran forward like a fly. What appeared in front of her was a large stone cliff several hundred meters high, surrounded by the forest. This was the Demon Cliff.

Emma had heard about it from her father a long time ago. Why was it called the Demon Cliff? Because this stone cliff was originally an ancient castle of an ancient king. Legend has it that one day the king invited a very famous musician to perform music. The king had listened to all his songs and was tired of listening to them, so he asked him to play a new song.

The musician couldn't play it, so the king wanted to kill his whole family. So one night the musician let his family escape first, and he played a piece of music of the devil to the king.

That night, everyone in the castle heard the musician's music, and they were intoxicated and entered a state of ecstasy. Everyone turned into stone overnight.

After hundreds of years, the castle was covered by wind and sand day by day, and after hundreds of years, flowers, plants and trees grew in the soil of the castle, and it became a mountain.

Only the walls of the castle were still mottled rocks, but the stone also bloomed. It was the stone spirit flower. Whenever the wind blew through the petals, it was like someone was wailing.

Emma was shocked when she saw this large area of ​​stone spirit flowers. All the colors in the world could be found in these flowers. It was as if a rainbow appeared here, but it was not as gorgeous as this one.

A gust of wind blew, and countless wailings sounded in Emma's ears. She thought it was the voice of the soul sealed in the stone. She stretched out her hand and approached to pick one, but when she just put it in her hand and looked at it for a while, the flower turned into powder and fell to the ground, and the same flower bloomed again on the stone.

"It seems that you belong here forever, to the devil."

"That's right, they are all cursed souls, and they can't leave here for the rest of their lives. It is rumored that those who can insert this stone spirit flower into their hearts will get the power of the devil, and this power can revive the dead. Many people have tried here, but they have all failed. They paid a great price. If the stone spirit flower fails to be inserted into the heart, the living will self-immolate and turn into bones and die. There are the bones of the losers in the soil under our feet."

"Can anyone really get the power of the devil?"

"I don't know, I only know that we should leave, and we must get out of the forest before dark, otherwise we can't get out."

"Why?"

"Because the trees here will emit poisonous gas at night, the animals here are immune, but humans are not, and some other things will also be very dangerous."

"Okay, then hurry out."

Emma followed Baron's footsteps and sped up her departure.
