Law of the Dragon

Eros followed the boy into the dense forest. This cold forest showed his resistance to all alien creatures, but humans would always ignore it. Anyway, in their common sense, only animals have emotions. Plants, neither They cannot move or speak, and are excluded from life.

This is wrong, of course plants have life.In the age when Eros was not born, when human beings were still on the path of evolution, and in the barbaric age when the demon god just awakened, this continent was dominated by ancient plants—of course, the current plants have completely lost the posture of their ancestors, but There is always some atavism.

For example, the current owner of this forest.Honestly, Eros thinks it's a bit too atavistic.

The boy stayed there blankly, watching for any suspicious creatures.He squatted down, inspected the unnaturally broken dead branches, inspected some traces of being dragged, and finally his eyes fell on a small plant in a small open space.

This is a very ordinary little plant, compared to its tall companions in the forest here, it looks a bit weak, if it weren't for the trail of dragging pointing there, no one would notice it at all.It is too ordinary, and its companion left the sun to it, making it look smooth and well-nourished.

The boy gave it a puzzled look, wondering if there was something special about the plant up to his calf.

Eros frowned. As a huge dragon, he wouldn't care about those plants. All plants looked similar to him, but this plant...

"I heard some voices."

The Duke beside him said, and stepped back carefully, then backed up again, hesitated, backed up again...

"What are you doing!" Eros watched as he retreated a hundred paces away, as if he was planning to step back.

The Duke made a gesture: "We violated its territory, and it warned us..."

Eros looked at the plant, which looked weak and innocent, not at all vicious of its ancestors.He has experienced too much, and he knows that the weaker creatures on the surface are not necessarily weak, they just put on this appearance, just because they like it.And the sense of territory - this is a common problem of all powerful creatures, the territory is inviolable, if... then you have to pay the price in blood, there is no suspense at all.

So Eros wasn't surprised when the boy tripped and got entangled in a vine, although the vine appeared so naturally, as if it had always been there.

The vine dragged the screaming and defiant boy toward the plant, and when his struggling toes touched the plant, he and the vine that entangled him disappeared, leaving nothing but the air. shouts and trails on the ground.That unnatural thing happened so naturally, as if it should be.

Eros and Duke Sacre glanced at each other, and then walked to the plant at the same time. The other party still had a weak posture of "I'm weak, please don't step on me".

"He's gone." Duke Sacre was the first to break the calm. He knelt down halfway, pressed his fingers lightly on the ground, then frowned and looked at Eros and said, "No, he's gone."

Eros tilted his head and waited for his follower to explain, and the follower explained up to everyone's expectations: "It's underground—it's a big piece, I guess it's as big as a third of the forest, I guess, of course I can't estimate the exact size. "

Duke Sacre looked at Eros's expression, then made a gesture and said: "I thought it dragged the child underground, its body is in the ground, and the one on top...is like the tip of an iceberg—" His tone became confused, "But—no, I can't feel the breath of that child, he disappeared...it can't be..."

"Of course it's possible," Eros said suddenly. He didn't know the species of this plant, but he certainly wouldn't let such a thing grow in her nest when his cousin was around. Pea would kill her.However, when her cousin left, Eros came to see him off. At that time, he felt its existence. Unexpectedly, it had turned this place into its lair all these years.

"Do you know what this is?" Duke Sacre looked at him suspiciously.

The king shrugged his shoulders. "I know, that's what I came for."

"What is this?" asked the Duke.

Eros smiled, and looked at the plant with some disapproval: "I don't know what humans call it, anyway, I know that the dark mage desperately searched for this kind of thing during the war, and almost turned the entire continent. Do you think its body It's under the forest, in fact, its body is hiding in another space."

Once space is involved, it will be a bit of a headache, His Excellency the Duke thought depressingly.People now generally think that magic is divided into two types, one is light magic and the other is dark magic, but that is actually wrong.Magic should not be classified from a human point of view, its branches are very complicated, and several of them are related to space.

Even magic must follow the rules. For example, magic can turn nothing into something, but the premise is that the things that appear must be entities. Things that exist in this world cannot be truly created out of nothing by magic.Space is also a powerful rule, side by side with time, firmly binding this world and preventing it from messing up.

"You mean...it tied the child into another dimension?" Duke Sacre wanted to save the child, but now it seems impossible.

"You ask me why I'm here," Eros raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I tell you, I'm here to look for this just like those dark mages," he said, walking to the plant, his white fingers gently Touching a plant is like touching a baby.

Duke Sacre looked at him, the fingers of the other party looked harmless and soft under the leaves, and the movements were even graceful and gentle, and then the other party's hand reached into the soil under the plant—if the other party was not a plant , Such an action seems to even have a flirtatious taste.

He took a step forward, but was immediately stopped by the king: "Don't come," he said, "stand there, I'm trespassing on his territory."

His tone was a bit serious, and Thakro had never heard Eros say anything in such a tone.His tone is usually brisk and a little casual, as if all things are not worth a damn to him, except for financial matters, most things are even irrelevant to him.

But at this moment, the boy was so focused and concentrated, his golden eyes were staring at the plant without blinking, and his arm—his elbow was completely swallowed up by the soil, and his forearm was already in the ground.The soil here is not particularly loose, but it is far from enough to allow human arms to reach so deep without hindrance.His blond hair was scattered on the ground because of this movement, and there was an illusion of flowing gold in the sunlight.

"Your Majesty..." Duke Sacre took a step forward.

But the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and Sa Keluo came back to his senses. He suddenly found that the sun had no temperature at all. Not only that, the surrounding was gloomy and terrible. It felt like, he was standing here, but It's like being in another cold world.

I don't know when, the place is full of people.

Everyone stood not far from him, silent and indifferent, but with an indescribable chill.

There were so many people, but they didn't make a sound, as if they were attending a funeral quietly.

"Your Majesty!" He wanted to stand beside that person, but as soon as he took a step, he felt the ground undulate gently.This tremor is not as violent as an external impact or as direct as an earthquake, it seems to be a kind of resilient thing, or... like elastic flesh.

Sa Keluo shook his head, this metaphor made him feel sick.

"Don't come here," Eros warned him again, but didn't look at him.

"Undead!" Sa Keluo didn't move on, but couldn't help reminding him.According to historical records, during the battle of the demon gods, the flames of war raged to the Black Forest, where the two teams met hand-to-hand, and blood flowed like a river.The victims of war were not relieved by victory, they were entangled in the land until now.

300 years have passed and no one remembers them.They were left forever in this gloomy forest.

"The legend is true..." Sa Keluo looked around at the undead, their stiff faces showed no expression, they looked at Eros blankly, but their eyes seemed to be floating in the air.

The undead are such a sad state. They used to be warm, alive, happy and painful, but when they became undead, they merged with this place. Now, they have nothing.

The golden eyes were not distracted for a moment, as if the undead around him had nothing to do with him.At this moment, he had already laid his whole body on the ground, his whole right arm went deep into the ground, and he seemed to be searching for something with all his attention.

Could it be looking for the boy?Su Keluo suddenly thought this way, he stood there and was warned not to come closer, so he had nothing to do, so he had to stand here and think wildly.

Then he suddenly remembered the admonition his mother had given him about the territory: she said, it is very dangerous not to try to enter the territory of the unfamiliar and stronger than yourself.The stronger the species, the stronger their sense of territory, and the more changeable their desire to possess. Therefore, Sa Keluo, please ask politely before entering. Among them, air and rain are even regarded as territories. A part of it, and trespassing often has to pay the price of blood.

His mother only told him not to be rude, but she didn't tell him what to do if he broke in.
