If you pass through this swamp and go deeper, then it will be the real God-gathering forest, a ghostly place that mortals would never want to go to, well, quickly put the swamp into a bag, just tie me to fill the bag, and catch The surface of the swamp is good, don't stretch your hand down, if it is swallowed by the swamp, then my expected future will be disillusioned like this, hehe. "

In order to make his explanation more correct and persuasive, the old man moved to the side of the swamp while explaining, stretched out his gray and black withered right hand, and inserted it directly into the dark green sticky surface where the inside could not be seen without any hesitation.

Then "dig" a lump of soil-like substance from the surface that the old man said into the palm of his hand, and immediately throw the lump of substance into the leather bag at his waist in order to prevent the sticky and heavy substance from falling to the ground Inside.

It was suspected to be liquid, just after putting it into the leather bag, the original light brown appearance on the outside immediately turned dark brown as if it had been soaked in water, and a cloudy liquid began to drip out from the bottom.

No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for carrying these muds with unknown properties and characteristics.

Maybe as long as it gets on your hands, you will fall into the trap of this old man, and finally enter the forced situation where you cannot choose again.

For example, these soils are very likely to be highly poisonous, and it happens that only an old man with knowledge about medicinal herbs can detoxify them.

"Huh? Because I'm a devil's son, I can't even do basic digging? Ah, children always like to go to the fields to dig dirt. Don't you have these related memories? Don't tell me it's true, I am I'm just joking, hey, what's the matter with your quiet face, did I really hit the mark?"

Glancing at the noisy old man, Jieshi chose to quietly watch the other's every move, not to be affected by the provocation of this sentence, and he did not intend to take any action because of this sentence.

"Hey, kid, you seem to have misplaced your position. You may be able to be willful with other adults, but you really messed with the wrong person. Should I say that your head is a jar for catching cucumbers? Your partner But we are inhaling the chronic poison in the house every minute and every second, so it really doesn't matter if we delay it like this?"

Even though he didn't get into the soil, the old man still planned to threaten Jieshi.

Digging the weird green dirt, or not, would be intimidating by that nasty mouth.

He didn't respond to the old man, but Jie moved to the swamp as if he had surrendered, his eyes fixed on the dark green liquid that would occasionally appear with cloudy bubbles.

Slowly approach the surface of the swamp with your hand.

"Woo!"

At the moment of touching, Jiexi subconsciously let out a surprised sound from deep in his throat, sticky and moist, unbearable high temperature, freezing cold enough to make pimples, the contradictory yet miraculously existing tactile sensations invaded Jie all at once. show hand.

It is against the logic of normal people, far beyond the knowledge that normal people should have, almost an unknown liquid.

But even so, Jieshi didn't take his hand away because of this, instead, as if making up his mind, he gradually sank his hand to the invisible depth——

"Hey! You idiot, didn't you tell you not to stick in there?"

Just when Jieshi felt that there was an inexplicable suction force in the swamp that kept shrinking his right hand, the pressure that he couldn't pull out suddenly pressed on his head, and the old man immediately kicked Jieshi hard in the face.

Forced to sway sideways along with this force—the right hand was pulled out from the swamp.

"Hmph, you can also be brief."

The face was kicked one meter away, and the force was not particularly strong. Jieshi's face was not bloated or bruised, but there was an obvious black shoe print.

"Are you laughing at me? Faced with an existence that can threaten you at any time, you still have to take this attitude? It's ridiculous. I can only say that you are too naive, and you can't even think clearly about your own position. Sure enough, it’s still an immature fruit, so I’m really disappointed.”

After hearing these words, Jieshi smiled even wider, and at the same time, he walked towards the swamp without fear.

"Stand, what do you say?"

Just leaving this question behind, Jieshi stepped forward and jumped into the swamp——

"You bastard!"

Such crazy behavior appeared in the deep sunken eyes of the old man, and he was in a trance state that he couldn't understand for a while, but when he saw that Jieshi's feet were already floating in the air, the bottom was just a swamp that would be extremely high and could not be pulled up if he fell into it. Jumping up, he kicked Jie to show his abdomen more forcefully than before.

Forcing him to change direction, the whole person flew to the trunk of the nearby giant tree.

The dangerous situation was lifted, even so the old gentleman's face was frowning tightly, his stiff cheeks drew back quickly, and the corners of his mouth were obviously collapsed.

For the first time, his face was covered with an expression of anger far beyond displeasure.

"That's why I said, your words can be brief."

Being kicked onto the tree trunk, his already weak body felt unconcealable pain because of the blow, and he even couldn't suppress the urge. Jieshi still had a mocking smile on his face.

"What the hell are you doing? Don't you think about your companions? Don't you want to work hard to continue living? Really, tell me what you want to do!"

"Threatening you."

"Threat? A guy who can't even defend his position? How stupid do you have to be to be willing? I think you are—"

"Bet your 18 years of hard work."

Interrupting the old man's words, he quietly said this passage in his usual tone, and gradually approached the old man.

"I said that you really don't understand the situation, that you are a person who can't even stand—"

"Threats are a kind of verbal deception. You keep saying that I have no position, but in fact you stop my actions. This is exactly the bargaining chip I have."

Once again interrupted the old man's words, but this time the old man stopped using many words to refute, closed his mouth and fell into thinking.

Jieshi ignored it and squatted down on his own, following what the old man said, he dug up the soil on the surface with his right hand and threw it into the bag, and then he repeated the same action.

"Threatening me instead, taking your own life as a bargaining chip? Hehe, that's it. I've figured it out. You're a complete lunatic!"

Self-understanding squeezed a smile from the old cheeks, exhausted self-knowledge to rationalize Jie-shi's behavior, and finally came to a stupid conclusion that Jie-shi couldn't be sensitive to the smile.

"I'm not you. I'm very calm... so calm that I know my fate very well. I knew it a long time ago."

As if entering the memory of the past, Jie Shi's face is no longer the smile of death, but a complex expression of bleakness and sadness.

"I should have died a long time ago. It's my partners, my friends. They keep me alive. Even though it's just the usual chats and pranks on others, it's what keeps me alive."

Looking up at the light blue sky between the woods, Jie Shi smiled slightly, and memories of interacting with Dun and other friends came to mind.

"If that's the case, then you shouldn't lose your life at any time! It's full of contradictions and ridiculous!"

"Yeah, even I feel weird."

Destiny and fantasy, this is the fact that it is impossible to coexist, even so, Jie Shi still has an unclear smile, which makes the old man confused.

It's just that for the old man, the so-called doubts are a more interesting element.

"Hehe, that's not bad. If you value your friends so much, I'll be more interested. I'm really looking forward to what kind of expression you will show when you encounter the cruel reality in the future!"
