[The Twilight Saga·Carlyle] Hidden God

To be honest, Edmund still prefers those beautiful and straight spruces to those beautiful and tall buildings. ——Because the latter has more of the mysterious charm of nature.

That's why he couldn't lift his spirits a few days ago.

So, when the teacher who led the team took them into the Denali National Conservation Park and announced that there would be a mountaineering competition next, Edmund really showed his surprising side.

"I don't understand." Gail snorted and chased after the boy four or five meters ahead, "Why do you look so thin, but have such good stamina?"

"Maybe it's because I like it here, and I don't feel tired while walking and enjoying the scenery?" Edmund stopped on a large rock with tan markings, waiting for Gail to catch up with him.

"Phew... rest... let's rest for a while." Gail sat beside the boy panting, and kept pulling at his neckline with his hands. ——This mountain was steeper than he had imagined, and it was quite strenuous to climb up.

"Okay.—would you like a drink? It might make you feel better."

"Excuse me……"

The boy unscrewed his glass and gave it to Gale.

The sour and sweet sports drink slowly flowed down the esophagus into the stomach, seeming to take away the fatigue in an instant.

"Do you often climb mountains?" Gail felt that his strength seemed to come back, he cleared his throat, and began to chat with Edmund.

"Only climbed with family during winter break. - Denali." The boy screwed the lid back on and bent down to put it back in place.

"Mt. McKinley?! The highest peak in North America?!" Gail pointed to the snow-covered, towering mountain in the distance, "You climbed it?!"

"Well—I only climbed a quarter of the way, and then it's all over."

"Phew, I was scared to death.—I thought you really climbed up."

The boy laughed and said nothing.

He didn't want to tell Gale that he had actually reached the summit.It's just that he didn't climb it himself. — Emmett seemed happy to be his gondola ride.

It only takes a short 10 minutes for the vampire to climb the mountain.Not even the steepest cliff could stop them.

Edmund, who sat on Emmett's shoulder and witnessed the whole process of vampire climbing, said that he no longer needs to ride a roller coaster in an amusement park to find excitement, just find a vampire to take him rock climbing.

"I don't know what kind of reward the first group to reach the top will get." Gail touched his chin and said seriously, "Maybe it's NFL (National Football League) tickets?"

"Or a pack of Turkish delight." Edmund rolled his eyes, "I don't think Mr. Brad would give us such a rare thing as a prize."

"But I still really want the prize."

"me too."

Edmund and Gale looked at each other for a few seconds, then smiled happily.

"It's a pleasure fighting with you, Monsieur Algernon," said the boy.

"Me too, buddy.—it's hard to believe that our relationship was that bad a few months ago." Gale sighs, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "We fought almost every day back then. "

"Ms Gray is very upset about it."

"Mr. Brown even had a heart-to-heart talk between the two of us."

The two laughed out loud.

"Okay, Mr. Algernon, don't miss it anymore, otherwise I always think you have entered menopause early." The boy looked at his watch, "If you really want to be the first, you should start. "

"Understood." Gail responded lazily, and began to move his legs, "Take care of my physical strength. ——Mountain climbing is much more difficult than playing football."

Edmund smacked his lips knowingly.

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————

Two boys, each carrying a big travel bag, jumped onto those beautiful white rocks one after the other.

When they stopped by a creek to rest, sharp-eyed Gail spotted a tawny, tall, big-horned reindeer hidden among the plants.

"Look there, Edmund!" Gail happily pointed to the big guy who was slowly coming out of the woods to drink water, "A male reindeer!"

The blue-eyed boy who was about to start a fire for lunch put down the dry branches and lighter in his hands, and looked along Gail's hand——

It was a beautiful adult reindeer about five or six years old. - It's a full 5 and a half feet tall (with horns).With thick fur and explosive limbs.Its horn stem is divided into front and back branches above the horn base. The front branch extends upwards, and then divides into front and back two branches. Some small branches grow on each branch. The rear branch stretches straight back, and the end also grows out Some small branches, visually two feet long.

"It's so beautiful..." Edmund admired, "It's the first time I've seen such a tall reindeer."

"Me too! — This is much more handsome than the one I saw in the zoo!" Gail excitedly ran to his backpack, took out a camera from it, and pressed the shutter on the reindeer.

A blinding white light flashed——

"Idiot!!! Why don't you turn off the flash!!!——Pick up the backpack and run quickly!!!" The boy jumped up from the rock where he was sitting in a panic.He puts his palm on Gale's stomach and pushes Gale behind the rock, looking like he wants to slap him to death.

And not far away, the young reindeer, which was disturbed by the flashing lights, was bowing its head and back, one of its front hooves was hitting the grass blades on the ground, and it seemed that it was ready to rush over at any time and use the pair of reindeer The beautiful antlers flew towards the two strange creatures in front of him.

"I just flashed it!!! There's no need to be so angry!!!" Gail grabbed the backpack and quickly followed Edmund into the woods, "And everyone is a man (?), even if a sneak shot There’s nothing wrong with Zhang!!!”

"Shut up!!! RUN!!! Look for a tree tall enough to climb!!!"

Edmund was almost going crazy. ——For the first time in his life, he was so close to a wild reindeer. Unfortunately, before he took out the camera, the other party was angered.

Fortunately, there are large and small rocks all around, some of which are not as stable as they appear on the surface, and they often turn over as soon as they step on them. ——This greatly reduces the running speed of the reindeer, otherwise they would never be able to run against the guy running on four legs.

They ran towards the woods for about 200 meters, and the surrounding plants slowly changed from low grasses to dense hardy ferns.

"There!!! Climb up quickly!!!" Edmund pointed to a tall ginkgo tree not far in front of them, "You first!!! It's coming soon!!!"

Gail looked behind him over his shoulder, then screamed and picked up his pace again.

Seeing this, the boy also turned around——

The buck was within twenty feet of them.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Edmund was about to ask Gail loudly why he could even scream in such a cadence, and the next second, he also yelled in a strange tone——

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The reason is nothing else.

Both of them were so busy running for their lives that they didn't even notice the big black hole hidden under the green foliage.Gail in front stepped on a soft leaf, and he fell into the hole before he could react.And Edmund, who was following him, couldn't stop at all because he was running too fast, so he fell into the dark hole with Gail.

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————

In an instant, the boy felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do.

Everything in front of him seemed to be in slow motion. He watched the trunk of the ginkgo tree that was almost in front of him slowly disappearing, and watched his hands grabbing a few frail hardy fern branches and leaves and pulling them off, and then " Swish, everything disappeared. ——It was pitch black.

The process of falling was extremely fast, the boy spun a few times in the air, and at the same time a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, what's down here?How deep is it here?Is there water below?Are there stalagmites? (Stalagmites are shaped like bamboo shoots and grow upwards from the surface, and they can sometimes reach heights of several meters with a uniform diameter.)

However, before he could think of the answers to these questions, his back hit a rock protruding from the soil, and his whole body was almost split in two. The painful Edmund stared at gold stars, and then his body fell from the ground. This rock slid away and fell down again. Before he could slow down, he hit another rock...

The two impacts knocked the boy so dizzy that he lost his crouched position in the fall, and he fell face-up hard to the ground.
