Altar of Infinity
Chapter 57 Poisonous milk, a snake wants to bite you.
No matter how Si You yelled in his heart, the two who passed through the three levels together did not fight, and Xie Ji avoided an internal dispute in time with a plate of fish-flavored eggplant.
After lunch, Xie Ji led Jiang Jichu to the east cliff without stopping.
The mountains around Chenjia Village are full of Fuxiu trees, purple fruits hang on their heads, and the smell of Fuxiu fruit seems to pickle them from the outside through every inch of pores.
Jiang Jichu didn't know what was going on awkwardly, he couldn't make a fart with eight sticks, now he just asked a few words to give you the meaning.
Xie Ji thought over and over again where he had offended someone, but he couldn't think of anything. It couldn't be his mate selection that offended Jiang Jichu. Could it be that Jiang Jichu really meant something to him?
He shook his head secretly, Xie Quan's brain was twitching, and he couldn't follow suit.
Xie Ji dragged his voice: "Chu, tell me who messed with you, and I'll beat him up."
"Fuxiu smells too strong, I don't like it," the awkward person realized halfway through the walk that his emotions were too revealing, and forcibly suppressed the image in his mind: "Look at the road, there are many snakes here."
Finally able to communicate normally.
Xie Ji took advantage of the situation and said, "Did you meet a snake this morning?"
Jiang Jichu: "Well, but most of them are ordinary snakes, only the purple snake from last night bit people."
The subtle stalemate in the air finally dissipated, and Xie Ji thought about Jiang Jichu's life experience that Xie Quan mentioned last night.
He didn't intend to make insinuations right now, as soon as Xie Quan appeared, he went to ask Jiang Jichu's "brother" what happened, so he didn't know if he sold Xie Quan.
Being bored on the left and right roads, Xie Ji started another topic: "How is your relationship with Si You?"
Jiang Jichu was silent for a moment: "That's it."
Xie Ji pondered the extent of "just like that".
The atmosphere of these two "old acquaintances" getting along gave him a very contradictory feeling.
On the one hand, Jiang Jichu seemed to dislike Siyou, but he took the initiative to protect Siyou when he was being followed.
On the other hand, Siyou seems to have a warm relationship with Jiang Jichu, but in fact they are not that close.
Xie Ji: "Then do you think you can get along with her?"
Jiang Jichu said indifferently: "You and Xie Quan are brothers, so naturally we have to form a team to break through the next level. Si You and Xie Quan are teammates who have passed three levels in a row. Xie Quan will not abandon her either. After feeling it, do you still want to ask me about Xie Quan?"
His thoughts were exposed, Xie Ji admitted frankly: "Yes. I know you don't like to form a team with others, even if you have to form a team in order to pass the seventh floor, you want to delay as much as possible, but now we have met Koizumi and Siyou, I hope You can think about it."
He quietly waited for Jiang Jichu's answer. With Jiang Jichu's personality, he might ask him what he would do if he didn't agree.
To this end, he designed several plans, one is his brother, the other is his teammate and friend, he does not want to give up and let anyone down.
He didn't wait long before he heard Jiang Jichu's calm voice: "I don't mind."
Xie Ji didn't expect it to be so smooth, PLANA, B, C, D, E, F, G didn't use a single word: "Do you mind?"
"Although Siyou is impulsive, most of the time it is still controllable, and he has a bottom line in life, so he is a good teammate choice," Jiang Jichu said, "As for Xie Quan, Siyou is willing to form a team with Xie Quan, which proves that he has a certain strength Whether it is good luck or studying medicine, they are all part of strength."
"We Jichu are smart, cute, kind-hearted." Xie Ji rubbed the junction of Jiang Jichu's hair and the back of his neck.
He did this action at first purely to appease, but the back of Jiang Jichu's neck was delicate and moist, like fine porcelain with a thin layer of warmth, and the feel was extremely addictive.
Left and right Jiang Jichu didn't show any resistance, and physical contact can bring the relationship closer. When the situation is right, he will occasionally rub it twice.
Jiang Jichu couldn't remember how many different adjectives he had heard from Xie Ji, and numbly let the other party play tricks on his neck.
Xie Ji followed up and asked, "How did you and Si You know each other?"
Jiang Jichu: "Team up and pass a few checkpoints."
Xie Ji: "Why didn't we get together later?"
Jiang Jichu stopped and raised his finger to the cliff ahead: "Here we are."
The brownish-yellow land stopped abruptly not far from them, and further ahead was a steep cliff. Through the thin mist, one could see the karst cave in the opposite mountain.
The cliff is steep and steep, as long as you don't have any physical disabilities, you can go down if you are careful.
Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu climbed for half a day and arrived at the bottom of the cliff safely.
The trees at the bottom of the cliff were a little sparser than those at the top, and Fuxiu was not very well formed. The two of them who had been holding back all the way could finally catch their breath.
The creek meanders down from the south, branching out into many main streams leading directly to large and small karst caves. Xie Ji did not rush into the karst caves rashly, but strolled at the bottom of the cliff with Jiang Jichu first.
The further south they went, the wider the creek, but the sparser the vegetation.
Xie Ji: "You haven't said, why didn't you break through the level with Si You later."
Jiang Jichu didn't expect Xie Ji to remember it.
He looked at the endless canyon, and the words that looked at him once again appeared in his mind.
"Jiang Jichu, sooner or later, you will like it..."
Just as he had heard a lot of Fuxiu along the way, he became more and more used to the bloody smell in his hallucinations.
The pain for the first time is like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, but after many times, only subtle dull pain remains.
But he still didn't like it.
He didn't like this kind of pain, but he would rather continue the pain than lie flat and accept it.
Jiang Jichu said, "Later, our goals became different."
Xie Ji: "You want to leave the altar, Si You?"
Jiang Jichu: "She also wants to leave, but our more important things are different."
Xie Ji was sensitive to Jiang Jichu's reluctance to discuss this topic in depth.
They have changed from strangers to teammates who can trust their backs, and to closer friends, but he has never been able to get in touch with Jiang Jichu's deepest secret.
But who has no secrets?
He broke off a branch and picked grass to find the way: "Okay, as long as she is a trustworthy teammate, if you say she can, then she can."
Jiang Jichu paused: "Do you believe anything I say?"
Mr. Xie, who is also a breeder, proudly planted the branch on the ground: "If you lie to me, you will have nothing to eat."
Jiang Jichu felt that he had been greatly threatened, but the rebellious period that had not yet fully passed forced him to ask: "Is it one meal at a time?"
Xie Ji was amused by Jiang Jichu: "Little friend, you are not calling yourself."
Jiang Jichu: "I'm just afraid that one day I'll have to praise you for singing well against my will."
Xie Ji didn't believe his nonsense: "Comrade Jiang, I advise you to tell the truth about what you have lied to the organization, and you can still win leniency if you tell it now."
In a second, Jiang Jichu, who had grown up from childhood, spoke again: "A snake wants to bite you."
? !
What a twist!
Fortunately, Xie Ji was very fast, and immediately swung the branch with his backhand, hitting a snake that rushed out of the stream on the ground: "Can you change your expression when you suddenly say such a scary thing?"
While they were joking about trust issues, countless small snakes approached silently from various caves along the stream.
Unlike the one I met last night, the snake at the bottom of the cliff was red, like flowing blood when wandering in the stream.
First there was the creek, and then red climbed out of the cliff at some point, trying to surround them from both land and sea. Countless pairs of scarlet eyes stared straight at them. They all rushed up to wrap their necks.
Xie Ji: "Rush out before they are all assembled."
Jiang Jichu: "Where are you going?"
Xie Ji pointed upwards: "Above the cave!"
The group of snakes bowed their bodies one after another, making the posture of attacking. Xie Ji had no time to explain, and one second before they moved, they found a direction where the red snakes were relatively rare and rushed out first.
The red snakes attacked Xie Ji from the stream like blood-stained bullets.
Xie Ji seemed to have eyes on his back, turned around and skillfully made a circle in the air, circling the three leading red snakes to the branches, and threw them forcefully towards the second group of snakes that attacked him.
Taking advantage of this gap, he didn't retreat, but rushed towards the cave where the snakes were densest.
They came down from the cliff in the west, and there are large and small caves in the east. The strange thing is that although the red snake swam out of the cave, there were not many snakes on the stone wall outside the cave. few.
Xie Ji found a low-lying place on the east side, stepped on a rock and kicked up hard, grasped the rock with his right hand and climbed up.
Although the number of Shibi Red Snakes is small, they still exist after all.
Xie Ji didn't climb very high, when a red snake with thick wrists rushed towards him.
Sen Han's fangs were glowing red against the red skin, and with strength from his waist, he jumped up and grabbed another protrusion on the stone wall, brushing past the red snake's face.
The red snakes below were chasing closely. Seeing that they were about to catch up, Xie Ji cursed in a low voice, jumped to the left, grabbed the stone with his left hand, and took out a silver pistol//gun from his waist with his right hand.
His instinctive judgment of the situation and his familiarity with the gun made it unnecessary for him to aim. After pulling the safety catch, he aimed at the group of snakes and it was just a single shot.
The blood exploded, and the top snake swept the bottom ones and fell into the creek together.
Xie Ji took the time to glance in Jiang Jichu's direction.
The young man plunged the long knife straight into the stone wall, and then slashed downwards forcefully, cutting the snake under the knife in two. With the strength of the long knife, Jiang Jichu jumped tens of centimeters upwards at high speed.
The movements were clean and neat, and the thin figure continuously bent into an elegant and sharp arc, rushing towards the platform above the cave without going forward.
The smile on Xie Ji's lips grew wider, and with one shot, the red snake that was chasing Jiang Jichu fell to the ground, bloody and bloody, and then shot at his feet, taking advantage of the short retreat of the snakes, he quickly climbed up.
They climbed to the platform above the cave one after another, sat on the grass and panted, but the red snakes seemed to be afraid of the platform, and none of them followed.
"It's a good thing that they haven't assembled yet, and we ran fast," Xie Ji panted, "I thought it was a supernatural script, but now it's a city surrounded by snakes. Is the next step a catastrophe of wild pythons?"
Jiang Jichu was speechless: "Stop poisonous milk, okay?"
Xie Ji: "I never poison milk."
Just after he finished speaking, a huge red rock in the southeast slowly opened his eyes.
Chapter 58 News of death, lingering life in the unknown, or meaningless death in the truth.
Before resting for 2 minutes, the two ran away. The little snake that they killed just now was probably the son and grandson of the red python, and they bowed and chased after them.
The waist of the red python is the same height as Xie Ji, and when he sprang up, the ground shook.
Jiang Jichu complained while running: "Didn't you say that you never poison milk!"
"It's the altar that's poisonous!" Xie Ji was very indignant, "The gun you gave me is a magic buff, it's useless to fight such a big python, why are you running away with physical attacks?"
Jiang Jichu was confident: "It's inconvenient to take a bath in the village!"
Xie Ji: "Little Ancestor, at what time are you still committing cleanliness?!"
In just ten minutes, Jiang Ji's seniority was mentioned repeatedly, but he didn't have time to respond. The red python had a huge body, but moved very nimbly, and bit him straight with its jaws open.
He dodged to the right, and the half-person-high stone next to him was bitten by the red python.
While they were running wildly on the platform, they had to avoid the attack of the red python constantly. Xie Ji felt that this was the fastest time he had run so big.
The flying gravel brushed against the side of Xie Ji's face, almost drawing blood on him. The red python brought a strong wind, even if the tip of its tail hit it, it could make people vomit blood.
It suddenly fell from the sky, and the two jumped left and right, rolling away covered in smoke and dust.
If he continued running like this, he would be hit sooner or later. Jiang Jichu held the long knife tightly and began to think about turning around and fighting the red python for [-] rounds.
Xie Ji slid down a low slope and caught a glimpse of a cave out of the corner of his eye. He shouted, "There is a cave ahead, let's go in!"
He backhand shot a shot, right between the red python's eyebrows.
The silver gun that Jiang Jichu gave him was a prop for high-level levels. It had no magazine and had an unlimited supply of bullets. It had less recoil than ordinary guns, but it was much more powerful.
What followed was a more rapid and intense impact from the red python.
Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu seized the fleeting opportunity and almost shoveled the cave obliquely.
The red python stopped at the entrance of the cave, the cave was too small for it to get in, so it had to frantically flap its tail outside.
The two each recovered a life, and they both let out a sigh of relief while leaning against the cave wall.
Jiang Jichu: "Don't be blind in the future."
"No more milk, no more milk," Xie Ji secretly sighed that his luck plummeted after entering the altar, and even Xie Quan lost all the European energy he brought, "You and Si You watched in the woods in the morning Have you seen this kind of red snake?"
Jiang Jichu shook his head: "There are only purple snakes and ordinary snakes."
The task of the snake fruit level is not clear, there are only human villagers in the village, and there is no sign of a boss, and the surroundings of the village are either trees or mountains, and the only place is a canyon, which sounds very abrupt, so he wants to come here Find out.
Although dangerous, but somewhat rewarding.
The red snakes and red pythons I met just now look the same as the purple snakes, and they are both "specialties" of Chenjia Village. They are no less aggressive than the purple snakes, and they only exist under the cliffs to the east.
There must be a problem here.
The cave is deep and long, and the entrance of the cave is blocked by the red python, leaving only a dark corridor in front of it.
Xie Ji originally wanted to explore the cave, so he took an old-fashioned flashlight from the guest house in advance, and it just came in handy at this moment.
The red python was lying on the ground, looking at them from the hole with lantern-like eyes, and the scarlet letter kept probing inside.
He picked up the flashlight, let it pass on the letter, and then shot the beam into the depths of the cave: "I can only walk in and see."
The minimum of the two of them is 1.8 meters, and the height of the cave is only about 1.6 meters, so they have to move forward with a low body.
Xie Ji didn't like such a depressing atmosphere, so he pulled Jiang Jichu to chat: "Little comrade, this may not be my poisonous milk, but the retribution of you deceiving the organization, and you didn't really get it."
Jiang Jichu rubbed his brows: "I have something from Siyou in my hand, she has always wanted to go back, but I won't give it."
Xie Ji: "You take something from the girl and don't give it back."
Jiang Jichu was silent for a while: "I can't give it to her for the time being." He seldom hesitates or regrets in doing things, only in Siyou's matter, he never knows whether it is right or wrong.
Xie Ji asked: "Why?"
Jiang Jichu was silent for a longer time this time. When Xie Ji thought he would not answer, he heard the young man's indifferent voice again: "My father disappeared a few years after my mother gave birth to me. She loved my father very much. She searched for traces of him all over the world. In the process of searching, she seemed to have changed...from a beautiful and elegant rich daughter to a haggard, paranoid and crazy."
Xie Ji heard a little bit from Xie Quan, but when Jiang Jichu said it, both the meaning and the shock were even higher. He cooperated and said, "What happened later?"
Jiang Jichu continued.
"Later, I found out about my father's death by accident. He went abroad for a short visit, and left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to tell my mother.
"When he arrived, he hadn't contacted my mother, and he encountered heavy rain and landslides. His face was smashed beyond recognition, his identity card was lost, and the place he went to was sensitive. It was vaguely recognizable as a Chinese, and because he carried painting tools with him, the notice of the dead body was posted on a foreign oil painting website.
"I recognized his and my mother's wedding rings."
Xie Ji vaguely guessed something: "You told your mother?"
"I was nine years old that year, and I didn't know whether I should say it until my mother was diagnosed with cancer in the middle stage," Jiang Jichu said in a low voice, "I advised her to get treatment, but when she died, she still had to go to my father..."
"She boarded a plane flying abroad, hugged her father's urn, and committed suicide at the place where he died."
In the dim corridor, Jiang Jichu seemed to be carrying a hole in the darkness and stooped forward. The light from the flashlight was reflected on half of his face, and his light-colored lips were slightly pursed.
Back then, Jiang Jichu instinctively realized that there would be bad consequences if the news of his death was revealed, but his mother was suffering from cancer, and he just wanted her to receive treatment as soon as possible and return to a normal life.
An older Jiang Jichu might have a better solution, but at that time he was only nine years old, and he only wanted his mother to go to the hospital.
Xie Ji felt distressed and angry when he heard it, and couldn't help but said: "It's too irresponsible, you were so young at the time, if you say you don't care, you don't care?! After that, what will you... and your brother do?"
Perhaps the past is heavy, Jiang Jichu didn't notice Xie Ji's pause, he spit out foul breath: "The things in the future are not important, I have lived until now. Xie Ji, I just want to tell you that I took it from Si You , is something similar to 'death news'."
Live in the unknown, or die meaninglessly in the truth.
The ashes of his parents were buried back to their homeland across many seas, and they will always be on Jiang Jichu's heart forever.
Xie Ji: "Are you planning to never give it to her?"
Jiang Jichu: "When the time comes, I will give it."
Parents are dead, but Si You is still alive.
He has doubted whether his choice is correct countless times, but Xie sent to the altar, and the best time is coming soon.
Jiang Jichu calculated how long it would take, when the hand hanging by his side was caught off guard by Xie Ji.
The strength is gentle but firm, and the hot body temperature wants to dispel the coldness of the entire cave.
Xie Ji said in harmony, "No matter what happened, it's not your fault."
Jiang Jichu didn't respond, but smiled slightly.
·
Because the cave was too low, they had to walk bowed, and their speed was reduced a lot. After a long time, they saw the light.
Outside the cave is an endless wilderness with blue sky and green grass, which is as beautiful as a painting.
In the very center of the painting stands a red fruit tree.
This is the only red fruit tree they saw in Chenjia Village. It is not much taller than other trees. It is silent and lonely, but it gives people a kind of peace that can soothe the soul.
After leaving the cave, Xie Ji stretched his waist, the long bow made him uncomfortable everywhere.
When they approached the mangrove tree, large and small red fruits were hanging on the branches, round and plump, fresh and compelling.
Xie Ji picked a fruit, he wondered if it was because he was thirsty after exercising for a long time, but he actually wanted to take a bite.
Xie Ji: "I think this should taste better than Fuxiu."
Jiang Jichu also picked one off and played with it in his hands. He simply responded, affirming Xie Ji's statement.
The mangrove tree is so remote, so no one will water it to repel insects. It naturally grows tenaciously in the wilderness, and the fruit is not stained with a trace of dust.
Purple Fuxiu, Purple Snake.
Red fruit, red snake.
Xie Ji guessed.
"There should be purple and red camps in Chenjia Village. If we eat Fuxiu, we may not be attacked by purple snakes. Every household in the villagers eat Fuxiu. If we also eat Fuxiu, we will not be rejected by the villagers.
"If we eat the red fruit, the red snakes in the canyon outside, and even the red python just now may not attack us.
"We didn't eat any kind of fruit tree, we are temporarily neutral and will be attacked by two parties.
"But choosing one camp is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the other camp. At that time, you may become the first pick of hatred and encounter more violent attacks."
Xie Ji never liked to be forced to stand in line, and he often didn't choose any side when he was in the mall, but acted as the backhand to wipe out other forces.
But just like his aversion to Fuxiu, he has a natural affection for the red fruit in his hand.
This feeling is very subtle. He searched repeatedly in his vocabulary and finally chose "identity".
He identifies with it.
When the two were looking at the fruit of the fruit tree, the red python followed it from another way with its tail wagging.
The smell of Fuxiu they picked up in the forest was blown away by the wind, and once covered by the smell of red fruit, there was nothing left.
The boa constrictor, which was able to block the sky and block the sun, changed from being vicious before, and lay obediently on the ground, with only its head raised slightly, as if waiting for their choice.
Xie Ji tossed the fruit twice in his hands, and threw it at the red python without malice.
The red python swallowed the fruit with a big mouth, and the fruit the size of a fist was not enough to fit between its teeth, but it squinted its eyes happily as if it had obtained a supreme treasure.
Xie Ji looked around. There was no place to hide nearby. If he wanted to go back, he could only go through the cave just now, and the cave was some distance away from the mangrove tree.
With weapons in hand, he and Jiang Jichu may not necessarily become the red python's Chinese food.
Whether it's a red snake or a purple snake, he has his own way to profit from it, but he held the fruit, looked at the red python lying on the ground, and thought of the pictures he saw in Chenjia Village and the canyon, and a picture popped up in his mind. a guess.
He lifted the fruit and took a light bite.
After lunch, Xie Ji led Jiang Jichu to the east cliff without stopping.
The mountains around Chenjia Village are full of Fuxiu trees, purple fruits hang on their heads, and the smell of Fuxiu fruit seems to pickle them from the outside through every inch of pores.
Jiang Jichu didn't know what was going on awkwardly, he couldn't make a fart with eight sticks, now he just asked a few words to give you the meaning.
Xie Ji thought over and over again where he had offended someone, but he couldn't think of anything. It couldn't be his mate selection that offended Jiang Jichu. Could it be that Jiang Jichu really meant something to him?
He shook his head secretly, Xie Quan's brain was twitching, and he couldn't follow suit.
Xie Ji dragged his voice: "Chu, tell me who messed with you, and I'll beat him up."
"Fuxiu smells too strong, I don't like it," the awkward person realized halfway through the walk that his emotions were too revealing, and forcibly suppressed the image in his mind: "Look at the road, there are many snakes here."
Finally able to communicate normally.
Xie Ji took advantage of the situation and said, "Did you meet a snake this morning?"
Jiang Jichu: "Well, but most of them are ordinary snakes, only the purple snake from last night bit people."
The subtle stalemate in the air finally dissipated, and Xie Ji thought about Jiang Jichu's life experience that Xie Quan mentioned last night.
He didn't intend to make insinuations right now, as soon as Xie Quan appeared, he went to ask Jiang Jichu's "brother" what happened, so he didn't know if he sold Xie Quan.
Being bored on the left and right roads, Xie Ji started another topic: "How is your relationship with Si You?"
Jiang Jichu was silent for a moment: "That's it."
Xie Ji pondered the extent of "just like that".
The atmosphere of these two "old acquaintances" getting along gave him a very contradictory feeling.
On the one hand, Jiang Jichu seemed to dislike Siyou, but he took the initiative to protect Siyou when he was being followed.
On the other hand, Siyou seems to have a warm relationship with Jiang Jichu, but in fact they are not that close.
Xie Ji: "Then do you think you can get along with her?"
Jiang Jichu said indifferently: "You and Xie Quan are brothers, so naturally we have to form a team to break through the next level. Si You and Xie Quan are teammates who have passed three levels in a row. Xie Quan will not abandon her either. After feeling it, do you still want to ask me about Xie Quan?"
His thoughts were exposed, Xie Ji admitted frankly: "Yes. I know you don't like to form a team with others, even if you have to form a team in order to pass the seventh floor, you want to delay as much as possible, but now we have met Koizumi and Siyou, I hope You can think about it."
He quietly waited for Jiang Jichu's answer. With Jiang Jichu's personality, he might ask him what he would do if he didn't agree.
To this end, he designed several plans, one is his brother, the other is his teammate and friend, he does not want to give up and let anyone down.
He didn't wait long before he heard Jiang Jichu's calm voice: "I don't mind."
Xie Ji didn't expect it to be so smooth, PLANA, B, C, D, E, F, G didn't use a single word: "Do you mind?"
"Although Siyou is impulsive, most of the time it is still controllable, and he has a bottom line in life, so he is a good teammate choice," Jiang Jichu said, "As for Xie Quan, Siyou is willing to form a team with Xie Quan, which proves that he has a certain strength Whether it is good luck or studying medicine, they are all part of strength."
"We Jichu are smart, cute, kind-hearted." Xie Ji rubbed the junction of Jiang Jichu's hair and the back of his neck.
He did this action at first purely to appease, but the back of Jiang Jichu's neck was delicate and moist, like fine porcelain with a thin layer of warmth, and the feel was extremely addictive.
Left and right Jiang Jichu didn't show any resistance, and physical contact can bring the relationship closer. When the situation is right, he will occasionally rub it twice.
Jiang Jichu couldn't remember how many different adjectives he had heard from Xie Ji, and numbly let the other party play tricks on his neck.
Xie Ji followed up and asked, "How did you and Si You know each other?"
Jiang Jichu: "Team up and pass a few checkpoints."
Xie Ji: "Why didn't we get together later?"
Jiang Jichu stopped and raised his finger to the cliff ahead: "Here we are."
The brownish-yellow land stopped abruptly not far from them, and further ahead was a steep cliff. Through the thin mist, one could see the karst cave in the opposite mountain.
The cliff is steep and steep, as long as you don't have any physical disabilities, you can go down if you are careful.
Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu climbed for half a day and arrived at the bottom of the cliff safely.
The trees at the bottom of the cliff were a little sparser than those at the top, and Fuxiu was not very well formed. The two of them who had been holding back all the way could finally catch their breath.
The creek meanders down from the south, branching out into many main streams leading directly to large and small karst caves. Xie Ji did not rush into the karst caves rashly, but strolled at the bottom of the cliff with Jiang Jichu first.
The further south they went, the wider the creek, but the sparser the vegetation.
Xie Ji: "You haven't said, why didn't you break through the level with Si You later."
Jiang Jichu didn't expect Xie Ji to remember it.
He looked at the endless canyon, and the words that looked at him once again appeared in his mind.
"Jiang Jichu, sooner or later, you will like it..."
Just as he had heard a lot of Fuxiu along the way, he became more and more used to the bloody smell in his hallucinations.
The pain for the first time is like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, but after many times, only subtle dull pain remains.
But he still didn't like it.
He didn't like this kind of pain, but he would rather continue the pain than lie flat and accept it.

In a second, Jiang Jichu, who had grown up from childhood, spoke again: "A snake wants to bite you."
? !
What a twist!
Fortunately, Xie Ji was very fast, and immediately swung the branch with his backhand, hitting a snake that rushed out of the stream on the ground: "Can you change your expression when you suddenly say such a scary thing?"

The group of snakes bowed their bodies one after another, making the posture of attacking. Xie Ji had no time to explain, and one second before they moved, they found a direction where the red snakes were relatively rare and rushed out first.

Although the number of Shibi Red Snakes is small, they still exist after all.
Xie Ji didn't climb very high, when a red snake with thick wrists rushed towards him.
Sen Han's fangs were glowing red against the red skin, and with strength from his waist, he jumped up and grabbed another protrusion on the stone wall, brushing past the red snake's face.
The red snakes below were chasing closely. Seeing that they were about to catch up, Xie Ji cursed in a low voice, jumped to the left, grabbed the stone with his left hand, and took out a silver pistol//gun from his waist with his right hand.
His instinctive judgment of the situation and his familiarity with the gun made it unnecessary for him to aim. After pulling the safety catch, he aimed at the group of snakes and it was just a single shot.
The blood exploded, and the top snake swept the bottom ones and fell into the creek together.
Xie Ji took the time to glance in Jiang Jichu's direction.
The young man plunged the long knife straight into the stone wall, and then slashed downwards forcefully, cutting the snake under the knife in two. With the strength of the long knife, Jiang Jichu jumped tens of centimeters upwards at high speed.
The movements were clean and neat, and the thin figure continuously bent into an elegant and sharp arc, rushing towards the platform above the cave without going forward.
The smile on Xie Ji's lips grew wider, and with one shot, the red snake that was chasing Jiang Jichu fell to the ground, bloody and bloody, and then shot at his feet, taking advantage of the short retreat of the snakes, he quickly climbed up.
They climbed to the platform above the cave one after another, sat on the grass and panted, but the red snakes seemed to be afraid of the platform, and none of them followed.
"It's a good thing that they haven't assembled yet, and we ran fast," Xie Ji panted, "I thought it was a supernatural script, but now it's a city surrounded by snakes. Is the next step a catastrophe of wild pythons?"
Jiang Jichu was speechless: "Stop poisonous milk, okay?"
Xie Ji: "I never poison milk."
Just after he finished speaking, a huge red rock in the southeast slowly opened his eyes.
Chapter 58 News of death, lingering life in the unknown, or meaningless death in the truth.
Before resting for 2 minutes, the two ran away. The little snake that they killed just now was probably the son and grandson of the red python, and they bowed and chased after them.
The waist of the red python is the same height as Xie Ji, and when he sprang up, the ground shook.
Jiang Jichu complained while running: "Didn't you say that you never poison milk!"
"It's the altar that's poisonous!" Xie Ji was very indignant, "The gun you gave me is a magic buff, it's useless to fight such a big python, why are you running away with physical attacks?"
Jiang Jichu was confident: "It's inconvenient to take a bath in the village!"
Xie Ji: "Little Ancestor, at what time are you still committing cleanliness?!"
In just ten minutes, Jiang Ji's seniority was mentioned repeatedly, but he didn't have time to respond. The red python had a huge body, but moved very nimbly, and bit him straight with its jaws open.
He dodged to the right, and the half-person-high stone next to him was bitten by the red python.
While they were running wildly on the platform, they had to avoid the attack of the red python constantly. Xie Ji felt that this was the fastest time he had run so big.
The flying gravel brushed against the side of Xie Ji's face, almost drawing blood on him. The red python brought a strong wind, even if the tip of its tail hit it, it could make people vomit blood.
It suddenly fell from the sky, and the two jumped left and right, rolling away covered in smoke and dust.
If he continued running like this, he would be hit sooner or later. Jiang Jichu held the long knife tightly and began to think about turning around and fighting the red python for [-] rounds.
Xie Ji slid down a low slope and caught a glimpse of a cave out of the corner of his eye. He shouted, "There is a cave ahead, let's go in!"
He backhand shot a shot, right between the red python's eyebrows.
The silver gun that Jiang Jichu gave him was a prop for high-level levels. It had no magazine and had an unlimited supply of bullets. It had less recoil than ordinary guns, but it was much more powerful.
What followed was a more rapid and intense impact from the red python.
Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu seized the fleeting opportunity and almost shoveled the cave obliquely.
The red python stopped at the entrance of the cave, the cave was too small for it to get in, so it had to frantically flap its tail outside.
The two each recovered a life, and they both let out a sigh of relief while leaning against the cave wall.
Jiang Jichu: "Don't be blind in the future."
"No more milk, no more milk," Xie Ji secretly sighed that his luck plummeted after entering the altar, and even Xie Quan lost all the European energy he brought, "You and Si You watched in the woods in the morning Have you seen this kind of red snake?"
Jiang Jichu shook his head: "There are only purple snakes and ordinary snakes."
The task of the snake fruit level is not clear, there are only human villagers in the village, and there is no sign of a boss, and the surroundings of the village are either trees or mountains, and the only place is a canyon, which sounds very abrupt, so he wants to come here Find out.
Although dangerous, but somewhat rewarding.
The red snakes and red pythons I met just now look the same as the purple snakes, and they are both "specialties" of Chenjia Village. They are no less aggressive than the purple snakes, and they only exist under the cliffs to the east.
There must be a problem here.
The cave is deep and long, and the entrance of the cave is blocked by the red python, leaving only a dark corridor in front of it.
Xie Ji originally wanted to explore the cave, so he took an old-fashioned flashlight from the guest house in advance, and it just came in handy at this moment.
The red python was lying on the ground, looking at them from the hole with lantern-like eyes, and the scarlet letter kept probing inside.
He picked up the flashlight, let it pass on the letter, and then shot the beam into the depths of the cave: "I can only walk in and see."
The minimum of the two of them is 1.8 meters, and the height of the cave is only about 1.6 meters, so they have to move forward with a low body.
Xie Ji didn't like such a depressing atmosphere, so he pulled Jiang Jichu to chat: "Little comrade, this may not be my poisonous milk, but the retribution of you deceiving the organization, and you didn't really get it."
Jiang Jichu rubbed his brows: "I have something from Siyou in my hand, she has always wanted to go back, but I won't give it."
Xie Ji: "You take something from the girl and don't give it back."
Jiang Jichu was silent for a while: "I can't give it to her for the time being." He seldom hesitates or regrets in doing things, only in Siyou's matter, he never knows whether it is right or wrong.
Xie Ji asked: "Why?"
Jiang Jichu was silent for a longer time this time. When Xie Ji thought he would not answer, he heard the young man's indifferent voice again: "My father disappeared a few years after my mother gave birth to me. She loved my father very much. She searched for traces of him all over the world. In the process of searching, she seemed to have changed...from a beautiful and elegant rich daughter to a haggard, paranoid and crazy."
Xie Ji heard a little bit from Xie Quan, but when Jiang Jichu said it, both the meaning and the shock were even higher. He cooperated and said, "What happened later?"
Jiang Jichu continued.
"Later, I found out about my father's death by accident. He went abroad for a short visit, and left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to tell my mother.
"When he arrived, he hadn't contacted my mother, and he encountered heavy rain and landslides. His face was smashed beyond recognition, his identity card was lost, and the place he went to was sensitive. It was vaguely recognizable as a Chinese, and because he carried painting tools with him, the notice of the dead body was posted on a foreign oil painting website.
"I recognized his and my mother's wedding rings."
Xie Ji vaguely guessed something: "You told your mother?"
"I was nine years old that year, and I didn't know whether I should say it until my mother was diagnosed with cancer in the middle stage," Jiang Jichu said in a low voice, "I advised her to get treatment, but when she died, she still had to go to my father..."
"She boarded a plane flying abroad, hugged her father's urn, and committed suicide at the place where he died."
In the dim corridor, Jiang Jichu seemed to be carrying a hole in the darkness and stooped forward. The light from the flashlight was reflected on half of his face, and his light-colored lips were slightly pursed.
Back then, Jiang Jichu instinctively realized that there would be bad consequences if the news of his death was revealed, but his mother was suffering from cancer, and he just wanted her to receive treatment as soon as possible and return to a normal life.
An older Jiang Jichu might have a better solution, but at that time he was only nine years old, and he only wanted his mother to go to the hospital.
Xie Ji felt distressed and angry when he heard it, and couldn't help but said: "It's too irresponsible, you were so young at the time, if you say you don't care, you don't care?! After that, what will you... and your brother do?"
Perhaps the past is heavy, Jiang Jichu didn't notice Xie Ji's pause, he spit out foul breath: "The things in the future are not important, I have lived until now. Xie Ji, I just want to tell you that I took it from Si You , is something similar to 'death news'."
Live in the unknown, or die meaninglessly in the truth.
The ashes of his parents were buried back to their homeland across many seas, and they will always be on Jiang Jichu's heart forever.
Xie Ji: "Are you planning to never give it to her?"
Jiang Jichu: "When the time comes, I will give it."
Parents are dead, but Si You is still alive.
He has doubted whether his choice is correct countless times, but Xie sent to the altar, and the best time is coming soon.
Jiang Jichu calculated how long it would take, when the hand hanging by his side was caught off guard by Xie Ji.
The strength is gentle but firm, and the hot body temperature wants to dispel the coldness of the entire cave.
Xie Ji said in harmony, "No matter what happened, it's not your fault."
Jiang Jichu didn't respond, but smiled slightly.
·
Because the cave was too low, they had to walk bowed, and their speed was reduced a lot. After a long time, they saw the light.
Outside the cave is an endless wilderness with blue sky and green grass, which is as beautiful as a painting.
In the very center of the painting stands a red fruit tree.
This is the only red fruit tree they saw in Chenjia Village. It is not much taller than other trees. It is silent and lonely, but it gives people a kind of peace that can soothe the soul.
After leaving the cave, Xie Ji stretched his waist, the long bow made him uncomfortable everywhere.
When they approached the mangrove tree, large and small red fruits were hanging on the branches, round and plump, fresh and compelling.
Xie Ji picked a fruit, he wondered if it was because he was thirsty after exercising for a long time, but he actually wanted to take a bite.
Xie Ji: "I think this should taste better than Fuxiu."
Jiang Jichu also picked one off and played with it in his hands. He simply responded, affirming Xie Ji's statement.
The mangrove tree is so remote, so no one will water it to repel insects. It naturally grows tenaciously in the wilderness, and the fruit is not stained with a trace of dust.
Purple Fuxiu, Purple Snake.
Red fruit, red snake.
Xie Ji guessed.
"There should be purple and red camps in Chenjia Village. If we eat Fuxiu, we may not be attacked by purple snakes. Every household in the villagers eat Fuxiu. If we also eat Fuxiu, we will not be rejected by the villagers.
"If we eat the red fruit, the red snakes in the canyon outside, and even the red python just now may not attack us.
"We didn't eat any kind of fruit tree, we are temporarily neutral and will be attacked by two parties.
"But choosing one camp is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the other camp. At that time, you may become the first pick of hatred and encounter more violent attacks."
Xie Ji never liked to be forced to stand in line, and he often didn't choose any side when he was in the mall, but acted as the backhand to wipe out other forces.
But just like his aversion to Fuxiu, he has a natural affection for the red fruit in his hand.
This feeling is very subtle. He searched repeatedly in his vocabulary and finally chose "identity".
He identifies with it.
When the two were looking at the fruit of the fruit tree, the red python followed it from another way with its tail wagging.
The smell of Fuxiu they picked up in the forest was blown away by the wind, and once covered by the smell of red fruit, there was nothing left.
The boa constrictor, which was able to block the sky and block the sun, changed from being vicious before, and lay obediently on the ground, with only its head raised slightly, as if waiting for their choice.
Xie Ji tossed the fruit twice in his hands, and threw it at the red python without malice.
The red python swallowed the fruit with a big mouth, and the fruit the size of a fist was not enough to fit between its teeth, but it squinted its eyes happily as if it had obtained a supreme treasure.
Xie Ji looked around. There was no place to hide nearby. If he wanted to go back, he could only go through the cave just now, and the cave was some distance away from the mangrove tree.
With weapons in hand, he and Jiang Jichu may not necessarily become the red python's Chinese food.
Whether it's a red snake or a purple snake, he has his own way to profit from it, but he held the fruit, looked at the red python lying on the ground, and thought of the pictures he saw in Chenjia Village and the canyon, and a picture popped up in his mind. a guess.
He lifted the fruit and took a light bite.
