me and my monster neighbor

The stone spirit is naturally insensitive to pain, and naturally it does not feel tired. It carries Xu Lala and Chu Chu on its back, wears stars and moons without complaining of suffering, and travels thousands of miles a day without complaining of fatigue.

The stone spirit is like a perpetual motion machine. It used to be enslaved by other big monsters as coolies, but now it has become a victim in the "stone gambling" game and is coveted by many little monsters.

Specifically, Xu Lai and the others encountered monsters who jumped out halfway to intercept them along the road, and they all came here to snatch the stone spirit.

There are also two B-level catastrophe-level monsters who don't know how to live or die. They took a fancy to Chu Chu's beauty and tried to snatch Chu Chuyi back "by the way" while snatching the stone spirit. Those two catastrophe-level monsters were undoubtedly the most dead. awful.

They went all the way east.

The plains have turned into coniferous forests, and the fir trees on both sides of the road stand straight and straight into the sky, leaving only dark silhouettes at dusk.

Xu Lai and the others were walking on the long mountain road, startled a forest of birds, and flew in the direction of the bright orange sunset.

The fir trees and larch trees in this area are mixed, which may be the reason why people are inaccessible. The growth of the trees is very good, and the trees are towering. They are lined up on both sides of the gray-white mountain road, as if they are in line to welcome, and this road has also become a welcoming avenue. .

Xu Lala raised his head and looked at the 40-meter-high tree. The evening wind in the forest blew into his neck, and a burst of coldness made him shiver suddenly.

The trees are lined up on both sides, blocking the light and heat of the setting sun.

Xu Lala said vigilantly: "It takes ten years to grow trees, but it takes a hundred years to grow people... the trees here must have become fine?"

Xu Lala looked up again. Under the dim light, the forest seemed to be surrounded by smoke. He seemed to see the trees on both sides like towering giants, bending down to look at him and laughing.

Chu Chu glanced up and took a glance, holding Xu Lala's cold hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, Lale."

Xu Lala wasn't afraid at all, but the gloomy wind piercing through the forest raised goose bumps all over his body.

The voice of Shenwugui sounded in Xu Lala's mind: "Stupid! You also know that it is a century-old tree man, so how can the trees here be 'all become spirits'? Apart from having no common sense, the human race is a waste, and they don't even have brains? "

Xu Lala is too lazy to correct Xuanwu Beast's insulting nickname for him, and he is too lazy to pursue his personal attacks. He only needs to open the World Channel to reap the chatting etiquette and goodwill of online scolding netizens.

Xu Lie compares his heart online.

Sure enough, Shenwugui seemed to be caught off guard by the wind again, choked, coughed twice, and then said seriously: "There is fog in the forest, it may be miasma, miasma is poisonous, killing people from ten miles away is invisible, since you baby is still alive If it is done well, it proves that it is just fog, and there is a lot of fog here, and after walking for a long time, I can't see the end of the road, probably because there is a maze here."

Xu Lala frowned: "Mizhen, is there any danger?"

Shenwugui still hung his appetite and didn't continue to talk, but after hanging on for a long time, he still couldn't catch the little monster's curiosity. Trapped in the forest and unable to get out, the maze will not kill you."

Although Shenwugui promised that "you will not die in the maze", Xu Lai did not relax because of this unreliable guarantee.

On the first day of Chuchu, he raised his hand and pulled up a "white wall" from the mountain road, signaling Shishijing to stop temporarily, and he asked Shenwugui aloud: "Can you solve it?"

Shenwugui became energetic because of these two short words, and his laughter was heroic and unique. "Hahaha" laughed a lot, and then said: "I can't compare to that old fox except for the ecstasy formation, and the other formations are in front of me. Worth mentioning!"

Even many high-level mazes and transitions that exist in the demon world are all created by Shenwugui.

Shenwugui didn't have time to boast about it, but was stopped by Chuchu's words: "Since it can be solved, why talk nonsense?"

"........."

This time, Shenwugui was really choked and coughed repeatedly.

Shenwu Snake came out to smooth things over, and took advantage of the situation to pull Xu Lai out of the way: "You don't die, stop talking nonsense, calm down and solve the maze, come on, Xiao Lai, let's say a few words, don't let the atmosphere get too tense."

Xu Lala was called out by Shenwu Snake's sharp and hoarse voice, and the nickname came out of his mouth with a hint of horror. He waved his hand and thanked him: "Farewell, I can not only talk nonsense, but only nonsense."

Chuchu turned her head, held Xu Lala's hand, and said softly, "But I like to listen."

Shenwu Snake laughed and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, since there are people who want to listen to it, of course it's not nonsense."

Shenwugui gritted his teeth angrily: "@&%#[email protected]%&...!"

Xu Lala vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he couldn't tell why it was weird.

"..."

Shenwugui became angry at Chu Chu, and turned his anger into strength. He showed the spirit of a magic circle master on the spot, pointed out the fir tree at the center of the formation, and signaled Chu Chu to knock down the tree.

Shenwu Gui Wucuo pointed out that the demon power at the beginning was not in vain, breaking the formation is a matter of minutes——

But the credit was attributed to Xu Lale by Shenwu Snake.

The Shenwu Snake seemed to be caught by a neighbor in Zhongnan Cave, and ignorant of his conscience, he "hissed" and boasted: "Little Lala, you have completely changed my impression of the human race. You were the first to notice the difference around you just now. The amazing human youth, according to your human race, is a young hero, and Chuchu, the young hero of the monster race, is really a good match! Really worthy of you!"

Shenwu Turtle:?

Xu Lale:?

It was also rare for Chu Chu to agree with the views of outsiders other than Xu Lai, nodded and said: "Yes."

Xu Lai was guilty of being praised and eager to change the subject. He randomly focused on the key points and asked Shenwu Gui: "Since you know the formations well, why is the ecstasy formation not as good as the nine-tailed celestial fox? Is there anything unusual about the ecstasy formation?"

Shenwu Gui was already annoyed, but when he heard it, he lost his temper and didn't even bother to answer him.

Shenwu Snake said with a smile: "Of course it's because the Nine-Tailed Fox will come."

Xu Lale:?

It wasn't until now that Xu Lai understood that the difference between the ecstasy array and the ordinary ecstasy array was that the word "ecstasy" was taken from the meaning of "to fascinate you".

Going deeper is the unspeakable part of the midnight file.

In terms of the ecstasy formation, the five big and three rough Shenwu tortoises naturally do not have the seductive methods of the nine-tailed sky fox. It is normal that the ecstasy formation cannot be compared.

Xu Lale: "..."

The maze in front of him has been broken, a ray of sunset broke through the thick fog and shone in, cut through the darkness in the forest, and finally saw the end of the long mountain road in front of him.

Chu Chu withdrew to the protruding ruins on the mountain road, and drove the stone spirit to continue on the road.

They walked through the coniferous forest at dusk. Before Xu Lai could see the scene in front of him clearly, he heard the Shenwu Turtle let out a "hoo" to attract attention, and said, "The one protected by the maze is indeed a human village."

Shenwu Snake echoed and said, "I also feel the breath of the human race, huh..."

Xu Lala was startled when he heard that, and hurriedly stood up from Shi Shijing's back, not noticing the word "Huh" at the end of Shenwu Snake's sentence——

Xu Lala stood up and looked into the distance, and he saw a small town surrounded by low city walls. Most of the houses were self-built small bungalows in the countryside. Standing on a high ground, he could still see messy wires and even coarse clothes hanging on the roof. Added a smoky smell.

The houses are scattered and disorderly, and there are thousands of families.

It has been a month since Xu Lai came to the world of monsters. During this period, he could only hear the existence of the human race from the mouth of monsters. Now he can finally see real people.

Chuchu also stood up, walking on Shi Jing's uneven back as if walking on flat ground, he lowered his eyes, naturally supported Xu Lala's back, and used Xu Lala's strength to stand firm, he was eager to ask for credit: "Lala , I smell blood, but it's very mild."

When Xu Lala heard this, his heart suddenly "thumped".

Shenwu Snake also hissed: "That's right, that's right, there are not only people in front of you, but also the aura of little monsters flowing among them."

"..."

Xu Lala's heart was tightened in an instant. He looked ahead and saw a low earth wall enclosing the tile-roofed houses in the small town. Waiting for prey to penetrate its mouth.

Chu Chu felt that Xu Lala's body seemed to be hit by the cold wind. He hugged Xu Lala tighter, resting his chin on Xu Lala's shoulder, and asked, "Lala, are you cold?"

Xu Lai shook his head.

He's not cold, he's just flustered at the thought of the possible scenario ahead.

Xu Lala raised his head and looked at the west side where the setting sun was sinking. It was approaching dusk, and the sunset glow there was like blood-colored splashes of ink, dyeing half of the sky red.

Xu Lala said to Chuchu, "Let's go there immediately."

In the dusk, a fire ignited in the dense forest.

There was a group of men and women sitting around the bonfire, most of whom were strong and healthy young people. The bonfire was burning very vigorously, but they sat far away, all of them looked flustered. Flowering branches, kitchen knives and iron rakes were placed on the ground, and men and women were holding a few green branches, which looked like straw, but they were picked from nearby trees.

The green branches in their hands are moving from verdant dark green to withered yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the new branches and leaves came, they threw the dead branches into the fire like throwing away hot taro. The tongue of fire licked the ends of the dead branches, like a picky eater, tasted the taste, and then burned the whole dead branch into ashes.

The girl sitting next to the boy curled up her legs, pulled down the old pink cotton jacket wrapped around her body, and covered a slender wrist. Unfortunately, the old coarse clothes could not keep out the cold.She is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is holding the flower stem tightly in her hand.

The temperature suddenly dropped tonight, and the girl coughed repeatedly from the cold wind at night. With a hoarse voice, she asked in a low voice, "Brother... How long is it until midnight?"

The boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was tall. His voice could not hide his fear, but he comforted his sister, saying, "Don't be afraid Sui Sui... It will be dark soon, and it will be midnight soon."

Seeing that some branches in his sister's hands had begun to drop their leaves, the boy hurriedly picked a few new branches behind him and stuffed them into his sister's hands.

Suisui was so cold that he leaned against the boy's shoulders, and a middle-aged man sitting next to them glanced at him. His facial features were straight and three-dimensional, and it was vaguely obvious that he must have been a handsome man when he was young, but the years had carved a sharp mark on his face. His tear grooves and nasolabial folds, he scolded the girl with a dark face and an unhappy tone: "Don't stick to Ping'an so tightly! You are hindering him! Women are in the way!"

The girl named Suisui was so yelled at that she didn't dare to answer a word, so she sat up straight and coughed twice.

Ping An felt sorry for her sister, and called out to the man in a low voice: "Second Uncle, you..."

Before he could say Ping'an's words, he was pulled by Sui Sui's sleeve.

Ping An lowered his head and saw Sui Sui biting his lip and shaking his head at him.

Only then did Ping An swallow the words.

Ping An understands that the second uncle died at noon today because of his two sons and daughters, and because the cousin's bracelet fell to the ground. Only when you can find and chase everywhere can you speak seriously to Sui Sui.

The branches in his hand gradually withered and turned yellow again, Ping An went to break another handful of branches and stuffed them into Sui Sui's hands.

Suisui's hands were icy cold, she rubbed her little hands, breathed hot air and said, "Ziwuhua, Ziwuhua...you should bloom sooner."

The girl's soft voice fell on everyone's heart.

The men and women sitting around the bonfire prayed this sentence silently in their hearts.

And the meridian flower they waited for twelve hours is a kind of magical flower growing in this flower field.

The color of Ziwuhua is bright red, and it blooms all seasons, but the flowering period is short. This flower only blooms at Zishi and withers at noon, so it is named "Ziwuhua".

The peculiarity of this plant is that the stems will wither within three to five minutes of being separated from the body, and only the meridian can be separated for twelve hours when it blooms.

The flowering period of meridian flowers is short, but it is worth staying half the night in the cold night.

Just because monsters are afraid of Meridian Flowers.

Villagers depend on meridian flowers for their daily lives.

The flower stems of the Meridian Flower can barely resist the monster's attack, but the most effective is the Meridian Flower itself.

Only at midnight, when the meridian flowers bloom and smell the sweet and greasy fragrance of flowers, can they fall asleep peacefully.
