[Hunter] Flower of the Round
Chapter 6 The author has a chapter to say how to write it? (8)
the shoe.He sighed softly: "Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Kate appeared, I saw blood..."
"Miss Kuaii, you are really getting more and more proficient at such irresponsible complaints." Looking at the other party's black hair falling on her shoulders, Kate asked, "Speaking of which, the injury on your leg is almost healed, right? "
"En. Thanks to Mr. Kate's careful care." Kaii, who had successfully embroidered a corner, bent the corners of his eyes in satisfaction, and looked at Kate with a smile in a good mood.
He lightly raised his water glass and took a sip of water: "That's good, Pukaxili with heavy humidity, if the wound gets worse, I will be guilty."
Kaii, who was working hard on the embroidery thread, shook his head and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, aren't we looking for the ruins? Why do we stop here?"
After drinking the water in the glass, looking up at the curling mist, Kate glanced at Yale who was chatting and laughing with the neighbors not far away: "Because here, it is necessary to have the missing 'Vine City'." Pass. We need the support of these villagers to pass through the miasma-filled Devil Canyon, and the entire Devil Mountain can only be reached through the back mountain of this village."
"...It always feels very complicated." Changing a color line, Kaii rubbed his shoulders with emotion.
"You don't need to worry about this matter." Glancing at the shoes on Kai Jing's lap, "Go and rest when you're tired, it's not so easy to embroider a bird well."
"..." Kuai Jing suddenly turned dark.
"What's wrong?" Kate looked puzzled at the sudden resentment in the well.
"Mr. Kate, this is a doll."
"..." Turning her back quickly, holding back her smile, Kate escaped from the shameful and angry eyes of Miss Kuaijing in embarrassment.
Kaii, who was covering his face, was struggling in his heart. In fact... it cannot be called a doll in the strict sense, but a face that is not unfamiliar...
"Are you going to Devil's Mountain?!" Yael whispered.At the dinner table where the atmosphere was originally harmonious, the faces of Yael and his mother suddenly became heavy, Kuai swallowed without appetite, and Kate's overly serious expression conveyed his imperative to move forward.
Putting down the rice bowl in her hand, Yell's mother stared at Kate closely: "Since you know about the Devil's Mountain and know how to ask us for help, then you should know that Pukaxili people absolutely do not allow outsiders to step into the mountain." .”
"I know." Kate said earnestly, "The old man is wise, to be honest, we did come here to find the ruins of the 'Vine Capital'."
"Over the years, I have seen a lot of people who broke into the sacred mountain with all kinds of reasons. They went in with various reasons, but none of them came out alive. The Devil's Mountain is our sacred mountain in Pukaxili. It uses natural Power, punish those greedy and ignorant outsiders. It is impossible for us to take you in, young man, for the sake of your frankness, I will not pursue it. Take your woman and go." Yael's mother looked cold Alienated, turned his back and stopped seeing him after the order to evict him was issued.
"Yes, there was a person who went in and out of here." Kate raised her head and paused, "That person is my mentor."
The old man with his back turned to Kate froze, turned his head in surprise, and shook his head after getting the affirmative gaze of the other party: "Forget it, it's my old eyes that are dim. Think about it. After all, he is the benefactor of our Pukaxili village."
"The master once mentioned this beautiful village to me many times, and he said that he has always missed it." Kate smiled gently.
"He still remembers us." The old man's eyes were full of nostalgia, "I will let Yael take you into the mountain, but once you step into the Devil's Mountain, you will be left on your own."
"Thank you, old man. In addition..." Kate Yunyun glanced at the flushed Kaii, and sighed amusedly, "I think you misunderstood, Miss Kaii is my friend."
"Eh?" It was Yael who spoke this time, his round eyes rolled back and forth between the two of them a few times, and he murmured, "It's not?"
"Of course not." Kate nodded seriously.
Quickly bury your head in the bowl of Kuaijing, facing the eyes of everyone with various meanings, with hatred and tears in your heart, please forgive me...
In the starry night, dancing fireflies decorate the quiet bamboo forest.Sitting in front of the door, Kuai Jing was still embroidering his "masterpiece" stitch by stitch by candlelight, muttering to himself from time to time.A firefly landed on the bamboo railing and stared at the girl curiously. The twinkling green light was like the eyes of an innocent child.
Holding a small dish of incense and placing it at the foot of Kuaijing, Yael scratched his head and explained, "There are a lot of mosquitoes at night, and incense can drive away mosquitoes."
"Thank you." Kuaii sniffed and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice, "It smells so strange."
Nodding, he sat down beside her and skillfully helped to separate the embroidery thread in the bamboo basket into strands according to the color. Yael said: "This kind of incense was taught to us by Mr. Jin. good results."
"Mr. Kate's master is so powerful?" Kuaii asked curiously. Although he had been with Kate for so long, he rarely mentioned Jin to himself.
"Well, Mr. Jin subdued Cassiopeia, the Embrace of the Demon Snake behind the sacred mountain, and resolved a huge crisis for the village. If it weren't for him, maybe the current villagers would have become sacrifices under the claws of Cassiopeia Yes. He is our Pukaxili benefactor.” Yael’s eyes were full of admiration, “And he also taught us a lot of ways to get along with poisonous snakes and giant insects, not blindly hunting and chasing, but living in harmony. This It’s something we didn’t even dare to think about before.”
"No wonder your mother agreed to Mr. Kate's request."
"In fact, even if he is not Jin's apprentice, I think as long as he persists, his mother will agree." Picking a wick for Kuaijing, the dim candlelight brightened up again, and Yeer's bright smile was especially kind under the candlelight, "Because Mr. Kate has an aura similar to Jin, which makes people believe him involuntarily."
"Yes." Looking down at the embroidered face in his hand, Kuaii replied in a low voice, "Speaking of which, since you have already decided to go, why haven't you set off yet?"
"To wait for the rain. There is only one rainy season in the Pukasiri Basin every year."

☆, into the mountains X tree vines X ancient capital
Yael said a few more sporadic words, yawned good night, and left.Sitting in front of the door is a well with strings, and the sound of the stream flowing in the distance is like a kind lullaby, lulling the village to sleep.On such a night, Kuaijing suffered from insomnia for several days. Instead of tossing and turning in bed, he simply sat up and embroidered the unfinished shoe uppers at this moment before departure. With this mentality, Kuaijing quietly embroidered in front of the door , listening to the snoring one after another, accompanied by the dancing fireflies, weaving her own mind.
Kate, who got up early, opened the window and saw the fast well leaning on the door railing and falling asleep, scattered thread balls and a few plants rolled into the pool, floating in red and green on the water.Frowning slightly, he walked quickly towards the door, the words of reprimand were on his lips, but when he noticed the faint dark circles under the eyes of the other party, it finally turned into a long sigh, and carefully picked her up and walked to the berth.In the teasing of Yael's mother, Kate settled her down with a calm complexion, and said good morning to the old man politely. Just as she was about to step out of the room, she heard the old man's exaggerated exclamation:
"The young people nowadays are all so awkward, and they still think I can't see it."
Kate felt the corners of her mouth twitch uncontrollably, and turned around: "Old man, you misunderstood..."
"Tsk." Turning out a small box of ointment from the bedside table, Yael's mother pulled out Ji Jing's left hand and turned it over, picking out a little milky white ointment from the box, "Little girl embroidered a shoe for you day and night, look Look, your fingers are tied like this. You..."
"No, it's not..." Not what you think.
"Fame is very important to women."
Facing Kyle's mother's unusually serious expression, Kate felt her temples jump up.He walked out of the bedroom quickly, and nodded in greeting to Yael who was walking towards him.Yael scratched his head habitually, and smiled innocently: "Mr. Kate, cumulus clouds are approaching in the sky, I think we should prepare and we can set off tomorrow."
With Yael leading the way, Kaii and Kate embarked on a new journey on the wet fallen leaves.When he climbed over the back mountain and walked to the foot of the Devil’s Mountain, Yael handed the package on his back to Kate: “I can only send it here. Pukaxili people swear to the mountain god that they will never step into the mountain. In the package is My mother and I prepared some dry food for you, and some herbs to prevent swelling and festering after mosquito bites. There are many insects and snakes in the deep mountains, so be careful."
I expressed my sincere thanks to Yael, and after parting ways, I walked into the fast well of Devil's Mountain and realized that the situation was much more difficult than I expected.The Devil’s Mountain is not a mountain to be precise. After entering Houjijing, I found that it is actually a huge canyon, forming a line of sky-like landscape. Because it is a basin, there are various rare species in the densely vegetated moat. biology.The mountains here are not clods of soil and rocks, but venomous insects and snakes under the shade covering the sky. They lie dormant in the shadows, forming an invisible mountain, blocking all those who try to step into the depths.
Kate kept using the wooden stick to test judgment, to determine whether there was a swamp in the overgrown land under her feet.This kind of swamp in the wet area is the most dangerous. Once it sinks in, it is likely to cause the surrounding creatures to gather before being buried alive, and it is common to be attacked and divided for food.The canopy of broad leaves unique to the primeval rainforest covers the top of the head in layers. The dense branches and leaves make the bottom of the canyon dimly lit. The dense vegetation occasionally trembles slightly. An opportunity to take advantage of.
In some road sections, because the overly dense tree canopy completely blocks the sunlight, the visibility is extremely low like night, the bottom of the valley filled with miasma is filled with sultry water vapor, and the buzzing mosquitoes and flies are constantly harassing the ears, and the tiny midges in front of the eyes Countless.The leeches hiding on the back of the leaves and in the mud and water want to stick to them at any time. Once they are absorbed, they will be emptied of their calves without knowing it. At that time, the leeches with thick arms of babies will become a lifelong nightmare.
The canyons here are different from the Shadow Island that Kuaijing once visited, and they are not like the rock groups in the Gobi desert. They are not canyons formed by wind erosion. The valleys and gullies in the Pukasiri Basin are mostly due to crustal movement and extrusion deformation. cause.Because of this, the bottom of the valley where the two walked was not smooth and smooth. The rock walls with jagged teeth looked like beasts with their mouths open, and there were many jagged and weird stone protrusions on the uneven ground. The natural carvings provide a place for the reproduction and survival of creatures.
Going deeper, the surrounding temperature rises, as if entering a greenhouse, and the sweltering environment quickly drenches Kaii.Sweat kept falling from his forehead, and he glanced at Kate who was walking in front, and it seemed that he was not much better.It's just that the white hair, which looks like a god, is still docilely scattered behind the back, hanging down like a waterfall, becoming the most familiar sight along Kuaijing's journey.Wiping the sweat from his forehead, his feet in leather boots seemed to be in the water. The stuffy environment made it harder for the sticky sweat to evaporate.With a stagger, Kaii stepped on the moss on the stone.
"Are you all right?" Kate in front asked back when she heard the sound.
"It almost hit my waist." Rubbing his waist, Kaii complained aggrievedly.For Kate, the more familiar she is, the more she will produce this kind of subconscious behavior. The inexplicable reliability of the other party will make people want to rely on her.
"This kind of thing can obviously be avoided as long as you concentrate. I really don't know what Miss Kuaii was thinking in her mind when she was walking. If the ground under your feet is a swamp or a trap, do you still have a chance to stand here? "Kate sternly accused.
"..." I retracted the conclusion I had made before, thinking bitterly.I don't know why, Kuaii felt that Kate's attitude towards him had suddenly become very strange since before entering Devil's Mountain, with deliberate severity, as if he wanted to distance himself from her.why?Kui Jing couldn't ask, but there was a faint sense of aggrieved lingering in his heart.Kate is always like this, keeping any emotion in a circle, so that no one can find out.
There are more and more blue moss, in the crevices of stones, on the rough tree trunks, the wet and slippery moss makes it more difficult to walk.The roots of the trees dug up from the surface are intertwined, and the wet soil makes the road at the bottom of the valley more ups and downs.Walking in it is like looking for a gap in the huge tentacles of a monster, walking to the back, and even climbing up with hands and feet.
The soft and rotten tree roots formed a huge net, and as soon as the feet stepped on it, a deep mud pit was left, and occasionally twisted leeches wriggled in it.Obviously at the edge of the ruins, Kaii felt that he was trapped in the jungle, as if he had fallen into a huge green spider web and was entangled and deeply trapped in it.
The denser and denser tree roots and branches made Kate and Kai Jing have to spend part of their time stopping to cut and split the thick broad leaves with knives. The old vines under their feet would always accidentally trip over their feet This invisibly exacerbated the loss of already severely depleted physical strength.Kate took on more than half of the task of opening the stem and opening the road, and Kaii followed behind him. Even so, towards the evening, Kaii was still exhausted. He pulled Kate slightly apologetically and expressed his hope for a short rest.
Looking up at the sky, Kate frowned: "Hold on a little longer, we can't stop now, we can't rest until we get out of Devil's Mountain." Kate said this because he knew that the day seemed calm At the bottom of the valley, once it was night, those insects and snakes drilled out of the cave, and the situation of the two people who were surrounded by a dilemma would be even more difficult and dangerous.So no matter what, you must not stop until you get out of the bottom.
What's more, the first rain in Pukaxili is coming soon.
The Devil's Mountain, which continued to move forward, was still so calm, as if there was no room for anything in this canyon except for the twisted roots and vines.The dense forest that almost covered everything, the spreading dark green, Kuaii tried his best to regulate his breathing and keep up with Kate's pace.Those overwhelming old vine roots are like a bowl of spinach udon noodles that has been turned upside down in the gaps, and they are mixed together indiscriminately, and people's sights are twisted and tangled.
Kui Jing began to miss the wide and flat roads in small towns. In such a canyon, he worked hard to climb. In fact, according to Kate, the distance they walked was only halfway through.Facing these tangled vines, Kaii felt that his stomach was colic, as if the mold on the moldy bread had been magnified countless times, deeply giving him a feeling of resisting nausea.
After such a arduous itinerary, when the sun set, one or two drops of cold water fell on my hair, and then on my face.Kate raised her head to confirm, grabbed Kaii's hand, and led her to run as hard as she could.
"It's going to rain."
It's just that it's going to rain... Such an indifferent thought just came into Kuai's mind, as if to immediately refute her ignorance, there was a "bang", as if to split the entire canyon, the jungle that was still slightly noisy, in the short-lived After the silence, like a crazy musical, tens of thousands of bowstrings are pulled together, the huge sound is accompanied by majestic heavy rain, and it is poured into the narrow canyon in an instant.
The deep echo brought the leaves crackling and swaying, Kate's hand held on to Kaii tightly, the strength even made Kaii feel that the joints on his shoulders were about to dislocate.The downpour was like an invisible whip, as he ran, it hit his face head-on.The clothes seem to have suction cups, firmly attached to the body.The huge rain came suddenly and stopped suddenly.It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the original feeling of all things buzzing disappeared in an instant. The water droplets dripping from the leaves splashed on the ground, and the emerald green leaves swayed gently.
"It's almost there." Kate let go of her hand, her clear voice was relaxed with a long sigh of relief, and she stopped in her tracks.It was only then that Kuaijing discovered that they had passed through the Devil's Mountain Canyon and came to the border of the primitive jungle where the 'Vine Ancient Capital' was located.
The author has something to say:
☆、Boa Constrictor X Luyin X Stone Statue
Because of the heavy rain just now, the sky that was about to fall into the night was as blue as a blue ribbon flying in the sky, and the place close to the horizon showed a faint gray.A pale moon hangs in the sky, and a cloud is looming.
With the help of vines, Kate climbed up an old tree in a few steps, and stretched out her hand to Kaijing from above: "Come up first, the heavy rain is about to fall again, let's take shelter on the tree for a while."
Holding Kate's slender hand, Kuaii was pulled to the thick branch, supported the trunk and sat down slowly, and Kuaii twisted the rain-soaked hair tips.Before I could speak, as Kate said, the second rain had already begun to fall.The luxuriant branches and leaves of the huge canopy blocked most of the rainwater, and a small amount of raindrops fell along the leaves, and it was obviously relieved a lot, unlike just being exposed in the canyon, hitting the face with nowhere to hide.
Hearing the crackling rain on the tree, Kaii turned his head and looked at Kate curiously.Pulling himself to run, he rarely looked messy because of the rain.A strand of white hair stuck to the neck, tiny water droplets remained on the long eyelashes, the brown eyes were moist and clear, and the slender lips were moist and attractive because of the rain.
"Mr. Kate, you are so enchanting now!" Kaii covered his eyes, "Why do you even become a Shining star!"
"...Miss Kuaii is telling bad jokes again." Kate stated lightly.
"You are tempting people to commit crimes." Ji Jingtou leaned against the tree trunk and teased coolly with his arms folded.
"Little Kuaii..." Turning around, she was about to seriously stop the other party's meaningless conversation. tree trunk.Scarlet blood sprayed on the faces of Kuai and Kate, and Kuai, who was leaning on Kate's arms, suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Kate.Kate's cool neck brushed against his own lips lightly, with a burst of suffocating heart palpitations, Kaii looked at Kate with flustered eyes for a moment.He didn't find out, he won't find out.
The other party's breath sprayed on his neck, the black eyes carried too much and seemed to have left nothing behind, because of the smear of blood on the small face, the black hair and black eyes set off the smear of blood, and that face had a unique bewitched.The person who teases himself is attractive, the wet clothes outline exquisite curves, and if you get too close, you can even feel the sudden heartbeat of the other party.Kate frowned deeply at the soft touch that almost hallucinated, and pushed Kaii away.
"It's a boa constrictor." Looking away, Kate's voice was so cold that she didn't even realize it, "Miss Kuaijing, be careful. When the rain stops, I'll go set up the tent."
"……it is good."
No one mentioned it, and no one will mention it.Just now, nothing will exist.
The two people on the tree trunk were drenched like soaked chickens, but neither of them said a word.Keeping a polite distance, listening to the symphony played by the majestic rain in the dense jungle.
As the night gradually darkened, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the entire jungle.In the flash of light, Kuaijing saw a waterfall formed by heavy rain cascading down from a high place on the torn cliff in the distance, like a huge fountain surrounding it, and the white water curtain was like pale silk. Silk wraps them in this tumbling green forest.The blood left by the severed boa constrictor on the tree trunk was gradually diluted and washed away, but it was like this silent boa constrictor who didn't know what they would encounter in the next moment.The only thing we can see, the only thing we can be sure of, is each other.In this uninhabited primitive jungle, they rely on each other and move forward.
At dawn the next day, the tent was packed, and the two explored into the hinterland of the jungle again.The process of walking into the primeval jungle was almost as difficult as in the Devil's Mountain. It took a lot of energy for the two of them just to clear out a trail where they could stay.However, after all, this is the basin with the lowest altitude in the Pukaxili area, and the rocky cliffs are gradually decreasing, replaced by denser jungles and more and more insect snakes.Some boa constrictors are even as thick as calves, twisting and crawling slowly. The moment they met Kaijing and Kate, they spit out scarlet snake letters, and then left leisurely.
The worm snakes who originally thought they were going to attack, probably because of Kate's unique affinity for animals, miraculously did not make trouble, and after a process similar to a face-to-face meeting, they dispersed one after another.Kuai expressed his admiration directly, while Kate, after a polite smile, was reluctant to say anything more.I always feel that Kate is deliberately silent.The aggrieved Kuai attributed this to Kate's awkwardness, there was no reason and no symptoms, and he was suspected of being handsome for no reason.
After a short walk like this, some hidden grooves were covered by moss and vines, because the water flow collected after the heavy rain was accidentally exposed to Kuaijing's sight.Kate squatted down to take a closer look, and said lightly, "I found the guide for the 'Vine Ancient City'."
Kuai, who had a feeling of sudden realization, couldn't help admiring.The reason why the former ancient capital was prosperous for a while is that in this short rainy season that only occurs once a year, it must be at the lowest point of the entire basin altitude, collecting and collecting precious rainwater around it, and using it for daily life irrigation and use.Then the ditch that attracts these rainwater will inevitably lead them to find the ruins of the "Ancient Vine Capital".And such a premise must be to seize the annual rainy season.Both the villagers of Pukaxili and Kate probably know this well, so they have been waiting for the best time to set off into the rainforest.
Waiting for a rain, waiting for the guide that emerged.
Following the grooves made of vaguely discernible rocks, I found a sudden cliff after a short walk. There are many grottoes on the cliff, like huge beehives. I can’t see what exists in the dark grottoes, like countless pairs of eyes. , silently spying on the presumptuous intruder.Kuaijing, who has been walking through the jungle for a long time, has always had an unreal feeling. The excessive greenness made him forget the original intention of the journey. It was not until he saw such abrupt cliffs that the real existence of the "Ancient Vine Capital" gradually became clear. stand up.
The surface of the honeycomb-like grotto is covered by a bluish-gray membranous substance, like the wrinkled skin of an old man, or dried white fungus.The strange thing is that the birdsong that was still heard in the jungle, after entering this area, almost no sound can be heard.It seems that all existence is sucked by the grotto here.Blue bricks and stones appeared in twos and threes on the edge of the groove under the feet, and the polished surface was smoother because of the perennial rain.Following this stone road, Kate and Kaii moved forward cautiously.
The cliff is like the outer city wall of the ancient capital. After entering, more and more statues and broken stones have collapsed and scattered, and soon there are vaguely complete stone statues.The stone statue is half a head taller, standing firmly in the ruins. There are about six or seven complete stone statues around, all of which are covered by climbing and twining vines as thick as two fingers.Kate walked to the nearest stone statue, pulled out her dagger and cleaned the vines from bottom to top, trying to understand the real stone statue.
However, the closer to the head after cleaning, the more uneasy Kaii felt, that strange feeling seemed to be that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, like prey falling into the claws.She ran to Kate and said after deliberation: "Mr. Kate, have you...found anything wrong?"
"Entering the ancient capital must be extremely dangerous, but you don't need to scare yourself, or you will fall into the enemy's trap for nothing." Kate's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but after he finished saying this, he didn't want to say more, and continued to clean the branches and leaves on the stone statue .
The gradually clear stone statue was exposed in front of their eyes, but its treacherous shape made Kaii dumbfounded.Rather than saying that this is a stone statue, it seems that its lifelike shape has surpassed the general sense of sculpture.This stone statue has several giant pythons intertwined with each other as the base. In the center of the pythons are two embracing lovers. Their faces are full of despair and fear. Their mouths seem to be screaming for help. The third person Having been torn apart, a giant python was coming out of his broken neck, standing upright, looking down at the entangled man and woman, and spitting out the slender snake letter.The gray and white stone statue still seems to be frozen in the frightening scene at that time.If this is artificial carving, it would be too detailed.But if it is not artificially chiseled, then how to explain this weird stone statue?
Going forward, the face of the ancient capital gradually became clear.This is a city that expands outwards in a circle, and the grooves that attract water flow act as radial rays, converging toward the center of the circle.It’s just that Kuaii originally thought that there would be relics of the corners of the city walls. The more you go to the center, the more stone statues, and occasionally the huge rocks standing on the corners are like cliffs, filled with densely packed grottoes.
With a large number of grottoes, long water diversion trenches, and too realistic stone statues, a vague idea flashed in Kuaii's mind, as if he understood something, but he seemed to have grasped nothing.Many collapsed stone statues on the ground turned into powder, and many slender black worms drilled out of the broken stone statues. They only burrowed around on the stone statues, and seemed to have no interest in the passing Kuaijing and Kate.
Just when doubts arose in Kui Jing's mind, a cloud of green poisonous smoke exploded under his feet.Kaii, who quickly jumped away, looked forward, his pupils shrank suddenly.This is, monster...
The giant boa constrictor wriggled and twisted slowly, its body was as thick as three people surrounded, and the dark green spotted snake skin twisted as it moved forward, forming strange and changeable patterns.The thick and powerful snake tail is about 1.5 meters long, and the tail end is raised, entangled with a stone statue while walking.What is astonishing is that the upper body of this boa constrictor has completely transformed into a human form, the indistinguishable face is covered by snakeskin scales, leaving only the eyes glowing with gloom.The strong torso showed humanoid features all the way to the waist and abdomen, and the muscular arms were covered with many black worms that had just been seen in the stone statue.The half-human, half-snake monster slowly circled around the stone statue, erected its upper body, raised its worm-covered hands again, and this time burst green poisonous smoke appeared at Kate's feet.Kate frowned and avoided, and landed beside Kuai Jing, blocking the front of Kuai Jing without a trace.
"Sure enough, I was awakened, the Embrace of the Demon Snake, Cassiopeia."
The author has something to say: I hope you like the part of the ancient capital of vines~
☆、Magic Snake X Petrochemical X Blood Mist
As if understanding Kate's words, a gap slowly opened on the scale-covered face, revealing sharp teeth and scarlet snake letters. .The fully opened mouth can almost swallow a living person with ease.Cassiopeia raised his head excitedly, grinning as if wanting to swallow these two seemingly not weak intruders at any time.It made a "hissing" sound and wagged its erect tail, making a rattlesnake-like sound.
As a result, there were rustling sounds gradually in those grottoes, and then, countless venomous snakes with thick thighs slowly crawled out, and even a flat green snake's head poked out from the groove covered by vines.It was only then that Kui Jing grasped the fleeting thought in his heart, why there were so many snakes in the damp rainforest, why they disappeared after entering the ancient capital for a long time.
Aren't those grottoes the best caves for snakes!Those attachments on the cliff are nothing but the snake skin that these giant snakes shed every time!The ditches for water diversion and the stone statues of the ancient capital hinted again and again that this place had long been occupied by giant pythons.It was the rainy season, and it was the season for these boa constrictors to breed their offspring. At this time, if they stepped into the territory they recognized, a fierce battle might be inevitable.
However, wasn't the Embrace of the Snake killed by Kate's master Jin Jie long ago?How to explain the half-human, half-snake monster standing in front of him now?
Before he could ask the exit, the giant python had already launched an attack, and the snakes rushed up after hearing the order, and blue poisonous smoke came out of explosions around Kuaijing and Kate one after another.Being besieged by a large number of creatures is no stranger to this scene. Kuaii quickly summoned his staff and began to launch a defensive attack.However, the blue smoke that exploded from time to time appeared every now and then, constantly affecting Kuai Jing's position.
"Oh, such a disgusting group of snakes, Kate, you are getting more and more serious!" The crazy clown who was so bold and unscrupulously flirting with Kate at this time, his voice was still so flat and cute, "Quick The weapon of quick battle is the most suitable, what are you going to smoke, Dululululu."
"Miss Jijing, when I count to three, you can jump up as much as you can, understand?" Kate looked at Jijing with the huge sickle in her hand.
"Okay." No matter what time, Kaii can find the strength of stability in the eyes of the other party, which makes her have the courage to face everything.
"one two three."
Gathering the power of thought on the toes, Kaii tried his best to jump upwards, and a powerful airflow swirled below, with splashing blood and the sound of flesh and blood separating. When he landed again, the ground under Kate's feet was removed, and the surrounding The ravines that go deep into the soil, with countless broken limbs of giant snakes, have a radius of hundreds of miles and become a purgatory of death.
"Death's Waltz." Kate, holding a knife handle, looked sideways at the angry Cassiopeia not far away, "This is for you, to commemorate those who died innocently."
The remaining sword energy caused Kate's long white hair to flutter slightly. He still likes to wear an empty blue hat, covering most of his face.But at this moment, he was like a god of death wielding a sickle, looking at the embrace of the magic snake with cold compassion, and the bloody corpse under his feet made Kate even more noble and innocent.He has a voice like a clear spring, a tall and straight figure, and a huge sickle surrounds and protects him.Kuaii felt that Kate at this moment was extremely far away from him.Use that handle to protect yourself with the sickle, and at the same time separate her approaching distance.
"Hiss." Cassiopeia looked at his companion whose corpse was separated in an instant. The scarlet snake letter trembled rapidly. He opened his huge mouth, and his originally dark hands elongated and became sharp. A sharp sharp object was thrown out with one hand.Kate swung her knife to parry, and quickly said to Kuai: "This is the most common move of the Embrace of the Snake, 'Twin Fangs'. Be careful to avoid it yourself, your limbs will slowly stiffen if you are pierced, and finally petrified into a Those statues."
"Mr Kate."
When the other party called out abruptly, Kate asked, "What's wrong?"
"..." Kuaijing stared straight at him, put the shield of Tidecaller's Blessing on Kate, and said seriously, "I just think Mr. Kate is so handsome holding a scythe."
"..." Kate felt a vein burst out of her temple, "You still have the mood to joke around at this time!" After saying that, she turned around slightly angrily, and began to entangle and fight with Cassiopeia.
Using the wave-riding trip to continuously coordinate with Kate's movement, Kaii sighed, she was seriously evaluating.This is the second time that Kate has used the scythe of death in front of her, but she is still deeply attracted by Kate who is wielding the scythe.The perfect fusion of absolute justice and darkness at the moment when a person swings a knife,
"Miss Kuaii, you are really getting more and more proficient at such irresponsible complaints." Looking at the other party's black hair falling on her shoulders, Kate asked, "Speaking of which, the injury on your leg is almost healed, right? "
"En. Thanks to Mr. Kate's careful care." Kaii, who had successfully embroidered a corner, bent the corners of his eyes in satisfaction, and looked at Kate with a smile in a good mood.
He lightly raised his water glass and took a sip of water: "That's good, Pukaxili with heavy humidity, if the wound gets worse, I will be guilty."
Kaii, who was working hard on the embroidery thread, shook his head and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, aren't we looking for the ruins? Why do we stop here?"
After drinking the water in the glass, looking up at the curling mist, Kate glanced at Yale who was chatting and laughing with the neighbors not far away: "Because here, it is necessary to have the missing 'Vine City'." Pass. We need the support of these villagers to pass through the miasma-filled Devil Canyon, and the entire Devil Mountain can only be reached through the back mountain of this village."
"...It always feels very complicated." Changing a color line, Kaii rubbed his shoulders with emotion.
"You don't need to worry about this matter." Glancing at the shoes on Kai Jing's lap, "Go and rest when you're tired, it's not so easy to embroider a bird well."
"..." Kuai Jing suddenly turned dark.
"What's wrong?" Kate looked puzzled at the sudden resentment in the well.
"Mr. Kate, this is a doll."
"..." Turning her back quickly, holding back her smile, Kate escaped from the shameful and angry eyes of Miss Kuaijing in embarrassment.
Kaii, who was covering his face, was struggling in his heart. In fact... it cannot be called a doll in the strict sense, but a face that is not unfamiliar...
"Are you going to Devil's Mountain?!" Yael whispered.At the dinner table where the atmosphere was originally harmonious, the faces of Yael and his mother suddenly became heavy, Kuai swallowed without appetite, and Kate's overly serious expression conveyed his imperative to move forward.
Putting down the rice bowl in her hand, Yell's mother stared at Kate closely: "Since you know about the Devil's Mountain and know how to ask us for help, then you should know that Pukaxili people absolutely do not allow outsiders to step into the mountain." .”
"I know." Kate said earnestly, "The old man is wise, to be honest, we did come here to find the ruins of the 'Vine Capital'."
"Over the years, I have seen a lot of people who broke into the sacred mountain with all kinds of reasons. They went in with various reasons, but none of them came out alive. The Devil's Mountain is our sacred mountain in Pukaxili. It uses natural Power, punish those greedy and ignorant outsiders. It is impossible for us to take you in, young man, for the sake of your frankness, I will not pursue it. Take your woman and go." Yael's mother looked cold Alienated, turned his back and stopped seeing him after the order to evict him was issued.
"Yes, there was a person who went in and out of here." Kate raised her head and paused, "That person is my mentor."
The old man with his back turned to Kate froze, turned his head in surprise, and shook his head after getting the affirmative gaze of the other party: "Forget it, it's my old eyes that are dim. Think about it. After all, he is the benefactor of our Pukaxili village."
"The master once mentioned this beautiful village to me many times, and he said that he has always missed it." Kate smiled gently.
"He still remembers us." The old man's eyes were full of nostalgia, "I will let Yael take you into the mountain, but once you step into the Devil's Mountain, you will be left on your own."
"Thank you, old man. In addition..." Kate Yunyun glanced at the flushed Kaii, and sighed amusedly, "I think you misunderstood, Miss Kaii is my friend."
"Eh?" It was Yael who spoke this time, his round eyes rolled back and forth between the two of them a few times, and he murmured, "It's not?"
"Of course not." Kate nodded seriously.
Quickly bury your head in the bowl of Kuaijing, facing the eyes of everyone with various meanings, with hatred and tears in your heart, please forgive me...
In the starry night, dancing fireflies decorate the quiet bamboo forest.Sitting in front of the door, Kuai Jing was still embroidering his "masterpiece" stitch by stitch by candlelight, muttering to himself from time to time.A firefly landed on the bamboo railing and stared at the girl curiously. The twinkling green light was like the eyes of an innocent child.
Holding a small dish of incense and placing it at the foot of Kuaijing, Yael scratched his head and explained, "There are a lot of mosquitoes at night, and incense can drive away mosquitoes."
"Thank you." Kuaii sniffed and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice, "It smells so strange."
Nodding, he sat down beside her and skillfully helped to separate the embroidery thread in the bamboo basket into strands according to the color. Yael said: "This kind of incense was taught to us by Mr. Jin. good results."
"Mr. Kate's master is so powerful?" Kuaii asked curiously. Although he had been with Kate for so long, he rarely mentioned Jin to himself.
"Well, Mr. Jin subdued Cassiopeia, the Embrace of the Demon Snake behind the sacred mountain, and resolved a huge crisis for the village. If it weren't for him, maybe the current villagers would have become sacrifices under the claws of Cassiopeia Yes. He is our Pukaxili benefactor.” Yael’s eyes were full of admiration, “And he also taught us a lot of ways to get along with poisonous snakes and giant insects, not blindly hunting and chasing, but living in harmony. This It’s something we didn’t even dare to think about before.”
"No wonder your mother agreed to Mr. Kate's request."
"In fact, even if he is not Jin's apprentice, I think as long as he persists, his mother will agree." Picking a wick for Kuaijing, the dim candlelight brightened up again, and Yeer's bright smile was especially kind under the candlelight, "Because Mr. Kate has an aura similar to Jin, which makes people believe him involuntarily."
"Yes." Looking down at the embroidered face in his hand, Kuaii replied in a low voice, "Speaking of which, since you have already decided to go, why haven't you set off yet?"
"To wait for the rain. There is only one rainy season in the Pukasiri Basin every year."

☆, into the mountains X tree vines X ancient capital
Yael said a few more sporadic words, yawned good night, and left.Sitting in front of the door is a well with strings, and the sound of the stream flowing in the distance is like a kind lullaby, lulling the village to sleep.On such a night, Kuaijing suffered from insomnia for several days. Instead of tossing and turning in bed, he simply sat up and embroidered the unfinished shoe uppers at this moment before departure. With this mentality, Kuaijing quietly embroidered in front of the door , listening to the snoring one after another, accompanied by the dancing fireflies, weaving her own mind.
Kate, who got up early, opened the window and saw the fast well leaning on the door railing and falling asleep, scattered thread balls and a few plants rolled into the pool, floating in red and green on the water.Frowning slightly, he walked quickly towards the door, the words of reprimand were on his lips, but when he noticed the faint dark circles under the eyes of the other party, it finally turned into a long sigh, and carefully picked her up and walked to the berth.In the teasing of Yael's mother, Kate settled her down with a calm complexion, and said good morning to the old man politely. Just as she was about to step out of the room, she heard the old man's exaggerated exclamation:
"The young people nowadays are all so awkward, and they still think I can't see it."
Kate felt the corners of her mouth twitch uncontrollably, and turned around: "Old man, you misunderstood..."
"Tsk." Turning out a small box of ointment from the bedside table, Yael's mother pulled out Ji Jing's left hand and turned it over, picking out a little milky white ointment from the box, "Little girl embroidered a shoe for you day and night, look Look, your fingers are tied like this. You..."
"No, it's not..." Not what you think.
"Fame is very important to women."
Facing Kyle's mother's unusually serious expression, Kate felt her temples jump up.He walked out of the bedroom quickly, and nodded in greeting to Yael who was walking towards him.Yael scratched his head habitually, and smiled innocently: "Mr. Kate, cumulus clouds are approaching in the sky, I think we should prepare and we can set off tomorrow."
With Yael leading the way, Kaii and Kate embarked on a new journey on the wet fallen leaves.When he climbed over the back mountain and walked to the foot of the Devil’s Mountain, Yael handed the package on his back to Kate: “I can only send it here. Pukaxili people swear to the mountain god that they will never step into the mountain. In the package is My mother and I prepared some dry food for you, and some herbs to prevent swelling and festering after mosquito bites. There are many insects and snakes in the deep mountains, so be careful."
I expressed my sincere thanks to Yael, and after parting ways, I walked into the fast well of Devil's Mountain and realized that the situation was much more difficult than I expected.The Devil’s Mountain is not a mountain to be precise. After entering Houjijing, I found that it is actually a huge canyon, forming a line of sky-like landscape. Because it is a basin, there are various rare species in the densely vegetated moat. biology.The mountains here are not clods of soil and rocks, but venomous insects and snakes under the shade covering the sky. They lie dormant in the shadows, forming an invisible mountain, blocking all those who try to step into the depths.
Kate kept using the wooden stick to test judgment, to determine whether there was a swamp in the overgrown land under her feet.This kind of swamp in the wet area is the most dangerous. Once it sinks in, it is likely to cause the surrounding creatures to gather before being buried alive, and it is common to be attacked and divided for food.The canopy of broad leaves unique to the primeval rainforest covers the top of the head in layers. The dense branches and leaves make the bottom of the canyon dimly lit. The dense vegetation occasionally trembles slightly. An opportunity to take advantage of.
In some road sections, because the overly dense tree canopy completely blocks the sunlight, the visibility is extremely low like night, the bottom of the valley filled with miasma is filled with sultry water vapor, and the buzzing mosquitoes and flies are constantly harassing the ears, and the tiny midges in front of the eyes Countless.The leeches hiding on the back of the leaves and in the mud and water want to stick to them at any time. Once they are absorbed, they will be emptied of their calves without knowing it. At that time, the leeches with thick arms of babies will become a lifelong nightmare.
The canyons here are different from the Shadow Island that Kuaijing once visited, and they are not like the rock groups in the Gobi desert. They are not canyons formed by wind erosion. The valleys and gullies in the Pukasiri Basin are mostly due to crustal movement and extrusion deformation. cause.Because of this, the bottom of the valley where the two walked was not smooth and smooth. The rock walls with jagged teeth looked like beasts with their mouths open, and there were many jagged and weird stone protrusions on the uneven ground. The natural carvings provide a place for the reproduction and survival of creatures.
Going deeper, the surrounding temperature rises, as if entering a greenhouse, and the sweltering environment quickly drenches Kaii.Sweat kept falling from his forehead, and he glanced at Kate who was walking in front, and it seemed that he was not much better.It's just that the white hair, which looks like a god, is still docilely scattered behind the back, hanging down like a waterfall, becoming the most familiar sight along Kuaijing's journey.Wiping the sweat from his forehead, his feet in leather boots seemed to be in the water. The stuffy environment made it harder for the sticky sweat to evaporate.With a stagger, Kaii stepped on the moss on the stone.
"Are you all right?" Kate in front asked back when she heard the sound.
"It almost hit my waist." Rubbing his waist, Kaii complained aggrievedly.For Kate, the more familiar she is, the more she will produce this kind of subconscious behavior. The inexplicable reliability of the other party will make people want to rely on her.
"This kind of thing can obviously be avoided as long as you concentrate. I really don't know what Miss Kuaii was thinking in her mind when she was walking. If the ground under your feet is a swamp or a trap, do you still have a chance to stand here? "Kate sternly accused.
"..." I retracted the conclusion I had made before, thinking bitterly.I don't know why, Kuaii felt that Kate's attitude towards him had suddenly become very strange since before entering Devil's Mountain, with deliberate severity, as if he wanted to distance himself from her.why?Kui Jing couldn't ask, but there was a faint sense of aggrieved lingering in his heart.Kate is always like this, keeping any emotion in a circle, so that no one can find out.
There are more and more blue moss, in the crevices of stones, on the rough tree trunks, the wet and slippery moss makes it more difficult to walk.The roots of the trees dug up from the surface are intertwined, and the wet soil makes the road at the bottom of the valley more ups and downs.Walking in it is like looking for a gap in the huge tentacles of a monster, walking to the back, and even climbing up with hands and feet.
The soft and rotten tree roots formed a huge net, and as soon as the feet stepped on it, a deep mud pit was left, and occasionally twisted leeches wriggled in it.Obviously at the edge of the ruins, Kaii felt that he was trapped in the jungle, as if he had fallen into a huge green spider web and was entangled and deeply trapped in it.
The denser and denser tree roots and branches made Kate and Kai Jing have to spend part of their time stopping to cut and split the thick broad leaves with knives. The old vines under their feet would always accidentally trip over their feet This invisibly exacerbated the loss of already severely depleted physical strength.Kate took on more than half of the task of opening the stem and opening the road, and Kaii followed behind him. Even so, towards the evening, Kaii was still exhausted. He pulled Kate slightly apologetically and expressed his hope for a short rest.
Looking up at the sky, Kate frowned: "Hold on a little longer, we can't stop now, we can't rest until we get out of Devil's Mountain." Kate said this because he knew that the day seemed calm At the bottom of the valley, once it was night, those insects and snakes drilled out of the cave, and the situation of the two people who were surrounded by a dilemma would be even more difficult and dangerous.So no matter what, you must not stop until you get out of the bottom.
What's more, the first rain in Pukaxili is coming soon.
The Devil's Mountain, which continued to move forward, was still so calm, as if there was no room for anything in this canyon except for the twisted roots and vines.The dense forest that almost covered everything, the spreading dark green, Kuaii tried his best to regulate his breathing and keep up with Kate's pace.Those overwhelming old vine roots are like a bowl of spinach udon noodles that has been turned upside down in the gaps, and they are mixed together indiscriminately, and people's sights are twisted and tangled.
Kui Jing began to miss the wide and flat roads in small towns. In such a canyon, he worked hard to climb. In fact, according to Kate, the distance they walked was only halfway through.Facing these tangled vines, Kaii felt that his stomach was colic, as if the mold on the moldy bread had been magnified countless times, deeply giving him a feeling of resisting nausea.
After such a arduous itinerary, when the sun set, one or two drops of cold water fell on my hair, and then on my face.Kate raised her head to confirm, grabbed Kaii's hand, and led her to run as hard as she could.
"It's going to rain."
It's just that it's going to rain... Such an indifferent thought just came into Kuai's mind, as if to immediately refute her ignorance, there was a "bang", as if to split the entire canyon, the jungle that was still slightly noisy, in the short-lived After the silence, like a crazy musical, tens of thousands of bowstrings are pulled together, the huge sound is accompanied by majestic heavy rain, and it is poured into the narrow canyon in an instant.
The deep echo brought the leaves crackling and swaying, Kate's hand held on to Kaii tightly, the strength even made Kaii feel that the joints on his shoulders were about to dislocate.The downpour was like an invisible whip, as he ran, it hit his face head-on.The clothes seem to have suction cups, firmly attached to the body.The huge rain came suddenly and stopped suddenly.It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the original feeling of all things buzzing disappeared in an instant. The water droplets dripping from the leaves splashed on the ground, and the emerald green leaves swayed gently.
"It's almost there." Kate let go of her hand, her clear voice was relaxed with a long sigh of relief, and she stopped in her tracks.It was only then that Kuaijing discovered that they had passed through the Devil's Mountain Canyon and came to the border of the primitive jungle where the 'Vine Ancient Capital' was located.
The author has something to say:
☆、Boa Constrictor X Luyin X Stone Statue
Because of the heavy rain just now, the sky that was about to fall into the night was as blue as a blue ribbon flying in the sky, and the place close to the horizon showed a faint gray.A pale moon hangs in the sky, and a cloud is looming.
With the help of vines, Kate climbed up an old tree in a few steps, and stretched out her hand to Kaijing from above: "Come up first, the heavy rain is about to fall again, let's take shelter on the tree for a while."
Holding Kate's slender hand, Kuaii was pulled to the thick branch, supported the trunk and sat down slowly, and Kuaii twisted the rain-soaked hair tips.Before I could speak, as Kate said, the second rain had already begun to fall.The luxuriant branches and leaves of the huge canopy blocked most of the rainwater, and a small amount of raindrops fell along the leaves, and it was obviously relieved a lot, unlike just being exposed in the canyon, hitting the face with nowhere to hide.
Hearing the crackling rain on the tree, Kaii turned his head and looked at Kate curiously.Pulling himself to run, he rarely looked messy because of the rain.A strand of white hair stuck to the neck, tiny water droplets remained on the long eyelashes, the brown eyes were moist and clear, and the slender lips were moist and attractive because of the rain.
"Mr. Kate, you are so enchanting now!" Kaii covered his eyes, "Why do you even become a Shining star!"
"...Miss Kuaii is telling bad jokes again." Kate stated lightly.
"You are tempting people to commit crimes." Ji Jingtou leaned against the tree trunk and teased coolly with his arms folded.
"Little Kuaii..." Turning around, she was about to seriously stop the other party's meaningless conversation. tree trunk.Scarlet blood sprayed on the faces of Kuai and Kate, and Kuai, who was leaning on Kate's arms, suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Kate.Kate's cool neck brushed against his own lips lightly, with a burst of suffocating heart palpitations, Kaii looked at Kate with flustered eyes for a moment.He didn't find out, he won't find out.
The other party's breath sprayed on his neck, the black eyes carried too much and seemed to have left nothing behind, because of the smear of blood on the small face, the black hair and black eyes set off the smear of blood, and that face had a unique bewitched.The person who teases himself is attractive, the wet clothes outline exquisite curves, and if you get too close, you can even feel the sudden heartbeat of the other party.Kate frowned deeply at the soft touch that almost hallucinated, and pushed Kaii away.
"It's a boa constrictor." Looking away, Kate's voice was so cold that she didn't even realize it, "Miss Kuaijing, be careful. When the rain stops, I'll go set up the tent."
"……it is good."
No one mentioned it, and no one will mention it.Just now, nothing will exist.
The two people on the tree trunk were drenched like soaked chickens, but neither of them said a word.Keeping a polite distance, listening to the symphony played by the majestic rain in the dense jungle.
As the night gradually darkened, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the entire jungle.In the flash of light, Kuaijing saw a waterfall formed by heavy rain cascading down from a high place on the torn cliff in the distance, like a huge fountain surrounding it, and the white water curtain was like pale silk. Silk wraps them in this tumbling green forest.The blood left by the severed boa constrictor on the tree trunk was gradually diluted and washed away, but it was like this silent boa constrictor who didn't know what they would encounter in the next moment.The only thing we can see, the only thing we can be sure of, is each other.In this uninhabited primitive jungle, they rely on each other and move forward.
At dawn the next day, the tent was packed, and the two explored into the hinterland of the jungle again.The process of walking into the primeval jungle was almost as difficult as in the Devil's Mountain. It took a lot of energy for the two of them just to clear out a trail where they could stay.However, after all, this is the basin with the lowest altitude in the Pukaxili area, and the rocky cliffs are gradually decreasing, replaced by denser jungles and more and more insect snakes.Some boa constrictors are even as thick as calves, twisting and crawling slowly. The moment they met Kaijing and Kate, they spit out scarlet snake letters, and then left leisurely.
The worm snakes who originally thought they were going to attack, probably because of Kate's unique affinity for animals, miraculously did not make trouble, and after a process similar to a face-to-face meeting, they dispersed one after another.Kuai expressed his admiration directly, while Kate, after a polite smile, was reluctant to say anything more.I always feel that Kate is deliberately silent.The aggrieved Kuai attributed this to Kate's awkwardness, there was no reason and no symptoms, and he was suspected of being handsome for no reason.
After a short walk like this, some hidden grooves were covered by moss and vines, because the water flow collected after the heavy rain was accidentally exposed to Kuaijing's sight.Kate squatted down to take a closer look, and said lightly, "I found the guide for the 'Vine Ancient City'."
Kuai, who had a feeling of sudden realization, couldn't help admiring.The reason why the former ancient capital was prosperous for a while is that in this short rainy season that only occurs once a year, it must be at the lowest point of the entire basin altitude, collecting and collecting precious rainwater around it, and using it for daily life irrigation and use.Then the ditch that attracts these rainwater will inevitably lead them to find the ruins of the "Ancient Vine Capital".And such a premise must be to seize the annual rainy season.Both the villagers of Pukaxili and Kate probably know this well, so they have been waiting for the best time to set off into the rainforest.
Waiting for a rain, waiting for the guide that emerged.
Following the grooves made of vaguely discernible rocks, I found a sudden cliff after a short walk. There are many grottoes on the cliff, like huge beehives. I can’t see what exists in the dark grottoes, like countless pairs of eyes. , silently spying on the presumptuous intruder.Kuaijing, who has been walking through the jungle for a long time, has always had an unreal feeling. The excessive greenness made him forget the original intention of the journey. It was not until he saw such abrupt cliffs that the real existence of the "Ancient Vine Capital" gradually became clear. stand up.
The surface of the honeycomb-like grotto is covered by a bluish-gray membranous substance, like the wrinkled skin of an old man, or dried white fungus.The strange thing is that the birdsong that was still heard in the jungle, after entering this area, almost no sound can be heard.It seems that all existence is sucked by the grotto here.Blue bricks and stones appeared in twos and threes on the edge of the groove under the feet, and the polished surface was smoother because of the perennial rain.Following this stone road, Kate and Kaii moved forward cautiously.
The cliff is like the outer city wall of the ancient capital. After entering, more and more statues and broken stones have collapsed and scattered, and soon there are vaguely complete stone statues.The stone statue is half a head taller, standing firmly in the ruins. There are about six or seven complete stone statues around, all of which are covered by climbing and twining vines as thick as two fingers.Kate walked to the nearest stone statue, pulled out her dagger and cleaned the vines from bottom to top, trying to understand the real stone statue.
However, the closer to the head after cleaning, the more uneasy Kaii felt, that strange feeling seemed to be that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, like prey falling into the claws.She ran to Kate and said after deliberation: "Mr. Kate, have you...found anything wrong?"
"Entering the ancient capital must be extremely dangerous, but you don't need to scare yourself, or you will fall into the enemy's trap for nothing." Kate's words seemed to have a deep meaning, but after he finished saying this, he didn't want to say more, and continued to clean the branches and leaves on the stone statue .
The gradually clear stone statue was exposed in front of their eyes, but its treacherous shape made Kaii dumbfounded.Rather than saying that this is a stone statue, it seems that its lifelike shape has surpassed the general sense of sculpture.This stone statue has several giant pythons intertwined with each other as the base. In the center of the pythons are two embracing lovers. Their faces are full of despair and fear. Their mouths seem to be screaming for help. The third person Having been torn apart, a giant python was coming out of his broken neck, standing upright, looking down at the entangled man and woman, and spitting out the slender snake letter.The gray and white stone statue still seems to be frozen in the frightening scene at that time.If this is artificial carving, it would be too detailed.But if it is not artificially chiseled, then how to explain this weird stone statue?
Going forward, the face of the ancient capital gradually became clear.This is a city that expands outwards in a circle, and the grooves that attract water flow act as radial rays, converging toward the center of the circle.It’s just that Kuaii originally thought that there would be relics of the corners of the city walls. The more you go to the center, the more stone statues, and occasionally the huge rocks standing on the corners are like cliffs, filled with densely packed grottoes.
With a large number of grottoes, long water diversion trenches, and too realistic stone statues, a vague idea flashed in Kuaii's mind, as if he understood something, but he seemed to have grasped nothing.Many collapsed stone statues on the ground turned into powder, and many slender black worms drilled out of the broken stone statues. They only burrowed around on the stone statues, and seemed to have no interest in the passing Kuaijing and Kate.
Just when doubts arose in Kui Jing's mind, a cloud of green poisonous smoke exploded under his feet.Kaii, who quickly jumped away, looked forward, his pupils shrank suddenly.This is, monster...
The giant boa constrictor wriggled and twisted slowly, its body was as thick as three people surrounded, and the dark green spotted snake skin twisted as it moved forward, forming strange and changeable patterns.The thick and powerful snake tail is about 1.5 meters long, and the tail end is raised, entangled with a stone statue while walking.What is astonishing is that the upper body of this boa constrictor has completely transformed into a human form, the indistinguishable face is covered by snakeskin scales, leaving only the eyes glowing with gloom.The strong torso showed humanoid features all the way to the waist and abdomen, and the muscular arms were covered with many black worms that had just been seen in the stone statue.The half-human, half-snake monster slowly circled around the stone statue, erected its upper body, raised its worm-covered hands again, and this time burst green poisonous smoke appeared at Kate's feet.Kate frowned and avoided, and landed beside Kuai Jing, blocking the front of Kuai Jing without a trace.
"Sure enough, I was awakened, the Embrace of the Demon Snake, Cassiopeia."
The author has something to say: I hope you like the part of the ancient capital of vines~
☆、Magic Snake X Petrochemical X Blood Mist
As if understanding Kate's words, a gap slowly opened on the scale-covered face, revealing sharp teeth and scarlet snake letters. .The fully opened mouth can almost swallow a living person with ease.Cassiopeia raised his head excitedly, grinning as if wanting to swallow these two seemingly not weak intruders at any time.It made a "hissing" sound and wagged its erect tail, making a rattlesnake-like sound.
As a result, there were rustling sounds gradually in those grottoes, and then, countless venomous snakes with thick thighs slowly crawled out, and even a flat green snake's head poked out from the groove covered by vines.It was only then that Kui Jing grasped the fleeting thought in his heart, why there were so many snakes in the damp rainforest, why they disappeared after entering the ancient capital for a long time.
Aren't those grottoes the best caves for snakes!Those attachments on the cliff are nothing but the snake skin that these giant snakes shed every time!The ditches for water diversion and the stone statues of the ancient capital hinted again and again that this place had long been occupied by giant pythons.It was the rainy season, and it was the season for these boa constrictors to breed their offspring. At this time, if they stepped into the territory they recognized, a fierce battle might be inevitable.
However, wasn't the Embrace of the Snake killed by Kate's master Jin Jie long ago?How to explain the half-human, half-snake monster standing in front of him now?
Before he could ask the exit, the giant python had already launched an attack, and the snakes rushed up after hearing the order, and blue poisonous smoke came out of explosions around Kuaijing and Kate one after another.Being besieged by a large number of creatures is no stranger to this scene. Kuaii quickly summoned his staff and began to launch a defensive attack.However, the blue smoke that exploded from time to time appeared every now and then, constantly affecting Kuai Jing's position.
"Oh, such a disgusting group of snakes, Kate, you are getting more and more serious!" The crazy clown who was so bold and unscrupulously flirting with Kate at this time, his voice was still so flat and cute, "Quick The weapon of quick battle is the most suitable, what are you going to smoke, Dululululu."
"Miss Jijing, when I count to three, you can jump up as much as you can, understand?" Kate looked at Jijing with the huge sickle in her hand.
"Okay." No matter what time, Kaii can find the strength of stability in the eyes of the other party, which makes her have the courage to face everything.
"one two three."
Gathering the power of thought on the toes, Kaii tried his best to jump upwards, and a powerful airflow swirled below, with splashing blood and the sound of flesh and blood separating. When he landed again, the ground under Kate's feet was removed, and the surrounding The ravines that go deep into the soil, with countless broken limbs of giant snakes, have a radius of hundreds of miles and become a purgatory of death.
"Death's Waltz." Kate, holding a knife handle, looked sideways at the angry Cassiopeia not far away, "This is for you, to commemorate those who died innocently."
The remaining sword energy caused Kate's long white hair to flutter slightly. He still likes to wear an empty blue hat, covering most of his face.But at this moment, he was like a god of death wielding a sickle, looking at the embrace of the magic snake with cold compassion, and the bloody corpse under his feet made Kate even more noble and innocent.He has a voice like a clear spring, a tall and straight figure, and a huge sickle surrounds and protects him.Kuaii felt that Kate at this moment was extremely far away from him.Use that handle to protect yourself with the sickle, and at the same time separate her approaching distance.
"Hiss." Cassiopeia looked at his companion whose corpse was separated in an instant. The scarlet snake letter trembled rapidly. He opened his huge mouth, and his originally dark hands elongated and became sharp. A sharp sharp object was thrown out with one hand.Kate swung her knife to parry, and quickly said to Kuai: "This is the most common move of the Embrace of the Snake, 'Twin Fangs'. Be careful to avoid it yourself, your limbs will slowly stiffen if you are pierced, and finally petrified into a Those statues."
"Mr Kate."
When the other party called out abruptly, Kate asked, "What's wrong?"
"..." Kuaijing stared straight at him, put the shield of Tidecaller's Blessing on Kate, and said seriously, "I just think Mr. Kate is so handsome holding a scythe."
