[Comprehensive] Goddess of Bryan

The time was too tight, and Bai Lan didn't have time to judge where the sound of someone stepping on a tree branch came from, so she could only avoid the villagers who were looking for it first.

She immediately grabbed the vines on the trunk of the century-old tree, and quickly climbed up the branch closest to the ground with her strength.

It was almost the time for the front and rear feet, Bai Lan had just put both feet up and stepped on the branches firmly, when several women with their sleeves rolled up and their hair tied up held torches and turned to where she was standing just now.

Under the bright firelight, Bai Lan stood condescendingly in the shadow of the canopy, and could clearly see the faces of these women.

Unexpectedly and predictably, these women looked exactly like the three young women who delivered food during the day.

What did the old woman say then?triplets?In addition to these few, I am afraid that they will become eight siblings.No wonder when I took them to visit the village in the evening, all the old women appeared, and none of them were young. It seemed that they were afraid of being discovered by Bai Lan and the others.

Bai Lan half sat and half leaned on the branch, her breathing was steady and weak, barely audible.This is exactly what she asked Uchiha Yui for advice during her practice before. It is the breathing method specially used by ninjas to hide their whereabouts. It can also be reduced to the minimum when exercising.

Bai Lan hasn't practiced for a long time, and she can't reach the point where eating and drinking are as natural as Mr. Ban's, but the current state of being motionless is enough.

The five women under the tree searched for a long time with a pitchfork and a sickle and found nothing unusual. They used their weapons to mow up the half-person tall weeds and found nothing. They could only give up this place suitable for eavesdropping. , and ran to where the other torches were shining.

Bai Lan on the tree was about to stretch her body, but she saw the woman who was walking at the end suddenly paused, turned around and walked back again.

The woman holds a torch in her left hand and a sickle in her right hand. The blade of the sickle reflects the yellow fire light, shining brightly in the dark night, and it is extremely sharp at first glance.When I was mowing the grass just now, I cut down a large piece of weeds easily with one wave. It must be easy to cut down on people.

In fact, these women who look the same are all pretty good-looking in all fairness, with delicate features, red lips and white teeth.But no matter how good-looking people are, suddenly seven or eight of them appear in front of you in one breath, and they are arranged in sequence like copying and pasting, which will also shock people.Not to mention that now the woman is holding a sickle with a murderous look on her face, and even the torch in her hand seems to be infected by her aura, and after a burst of crackling, it burns even more fiercely.

Bai Lan standing on the branch could even smell the scorching smell of straw and kerosene on the torch. She just smelled this unpleasant smell, and saw the woman return to the tree. After looking around, she slowly look up.

Bai Lan weighed the stone in his hand, and while looking for the angle of attack, he visually planned the escape route.

Just when the woman's eyes were about to touch the soles of Bai Lan's feet, another "click" suddenly came from the northeast of Bai Lan's position.

The woman holding the sickle was stunned for a moment, and immediately withdrew her upward gaze, and Liu Mei turned around and rushed towards the direction of the sound.

Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and shook the palm of his hand holding the stone, only to find that his palm was full of sweat.

Although with her current strength, killing a person is easy, and even escaping from here is not difficult, but the problem is that this place is really deep in the mountains and old forests. How will she live and find other living people after escaping from this weird village? the biggest issue.

So judging from the current situation, it is best not to tear your face.In case her space-time shuttle was really taken away by these women, she would be happy to go away. Without the time-space shuttle, she wouldn't even be able to go back.

Bai Lan is very sure that in the R country in her own world, there will never be such a large primitive mountain forest, let alone such a mountain village that can eat people and prolong life, like a primitive tribe.

Obviously, she had successfully activated the space-time shuttle before, but instead of going home, she came to another different world.

"Hey, when will you be tall when you walk around like this." Sitting on the branch, Bai Lan swayed her legs, and sighed faintly, "If I knew it earlier, I would have added an extra positioning function with Xiaozheng."

In the dark night, on a thick branch of a towering ancient tree, a silver-haired girl swayed her pure white legs and sighed leisurely.Her silver hair seemed to glow in the dark, making her whole face look like a monster, not to mention those purple eyes that were more like monsters than monsters.

Thinking this way, the woman in red came out from behind another tree, raised her red lips and smiled charmingly at the silver-haired girl who was staring at her: "Little girl, it's late at night, what are you doing here?"

Sure enough it was her.

Bai Lan was not surprised to see someone who was also defined as "pork" appear under a privet tree.Thinking of how straightforward the other party was when they ate meat during the day, she smiled kindly at the woman in red and replied, "I'll do whatever you're doing here."

The charming woman giggled and walked over like a beautiful snake with her waist pinched and hips twisted. She stood under Bai Lan and raised her head. Somehow her black eyes shone with golden light in the darkness. : "So, what did you find?"

Bai Lan sat on the branch with his chin in his hands and looked at her: "I found that those who ate those white meats will soon be eaten by others. For example, that noble lady, or you."

"Ha." The woman in red laughed inexplicably.

Before she could speak, Bai Lan continued: "I also found out that you have eaten that kind of white meat, and you know exactly what it is. It is definitely not a mountain gizzard."

This kind of name is nonsense, and only the noble lady who is not deeply involved in the world will believe it.But why did the woman in red, who knew the truth, eat it without hesitation?Just because she ate it?

The woman in red narrowed her eyes, pressed her chin with her nails painted with bright red Danko, and looked at the white orchid on the tree: "I tell you, is there any benefit?"

"It's no good." Bai Lan replied with a smile, seeing the woman choked on her, the smile deepened, "Because obviously, you have more information than me. At most, I know that people who eat those white meats will have certain A special variation that makes one's own flesh beneficial to another's lifespan."

"...It's not someone else." The woman in red who regained her composure corrected her, "It's a mermaid."

"... huh?"

"You've seen it, too. Those young women in the village all look exactly the same. In fact, not only them, but also those old guys." The woman in red thought of something, stroked her chin, and raised one corner of her mouth to show contempt smile.

Bai Lan was a little puzzled, and tentatively said: "I heard that eating mermaid meat can make human beings live forever."

"Almost." The woman in red's voice suddenly paused, she turned her head slightly and listened behind her for a while, then she jumped up a tree and landed right next to Bai Lan.

The woman sat down next to Bai Lan, leaned into her ear and continued: "Humans who eat mermaid meat have a very small probability of being immortal, and the meat of these people can also keep mermaids youthful for a period of time. Especially by coincidence Yes, the mermaid will take the form of the person she eats."

In order to avoid being discovered, her voice was deliberately kept low and small, whispering close to Bai Lan's ear.The exhalation sprayed on the earlobe during breathing, it was hot and humid, and the deliberately low voice was hoarse and soft, as if an electric current rushed up from the spine and tailbone into the scalp.This made Bailan couldn't help having the illusion that his earlobe was being teased by someone in his mouth.

The atmosphere on the branch suddenly became ambiguous.

Bai Lan glanced at the fire that appeared again under the tree, then raised her eyes to the woman in red sitting next to her.The latter was smiling at her captivatingly, tactfully and charmingly.

Bai Lan was silent for a moment, then leaned close to the woman in red and whispered in her ear, "Sorry, I'm not interested in women."

"..."

Bai Lan stepped back a little, distanced herself from the stiff woman, and looked at her with a straight face: "Although I have a wide range of tastes, women are really not in my hunting range."

Now, not only did the smile on the woman's face stiffen, but her entire body became a stone sculpture.

It wasn't until the group of women with the same face below walked past that she barely recovered.

The woman in red, who had recovered with difficulty, could no longer smile at Bai Lan's beautiful smiling face.Not only could she not laugh, she simply changed her face and stared at Bai Lan coldly, as if it was a big mistake to reject her.

Bai Lan still smiled: "Thank you so much for telling me so much, my name is Bai Lan, how about you?"

"..." The woman in red had a dark face, "Liujiang."

"Liujiang," Bai Lan leaned over again affectionately, putting one hand on the woman's shoulder, as if he was a good brother, "I have a bold idea."

"You said that humans can live forever if they eat mermaid meat, and vice versa. What if the mermaid eats mermaid meat?"

Liu Jiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately forgot the embarrassment just now, and looked at Bai Lan in disbelief.

The silver-haired and beautiful human girl seemed completely unaware of the terrible words she said, giggling and guessing: "You said, will they live longer, or will they die directly? Anyway, can you It must be an interesting experience for their long life to taste the same kind."

As the person concerned, Liu Jiang would not think this would be an interesting experience at all.

But now she is not.Not only is it not a mermaid, but it almost became the prey of a mermaid.That being the case, after the initial shock passed, Liu Jiang was really aroused by Bai Lan's words.

The two sat side by side on the branch, discussed together for most of the night, and happily decided on a plan for cooperation.

After the flames below completely disappeared and all the mermaids disguised as village women left, Bai Lan and Liu Jiang slowly jumped off the branches and sneaked back into their respective rooms.

The next day the sun quickly rose again.Probably when the sun was shining through the window, the old woman came and knocked on Prynne's door, inviting her to have breakfast.As usual, I didn't meet many young women on the road, and all I could see were old women with wrinkled faces, walking slowly with their waists bent.

Bai Lan smiled and asked the old woman who led the way: "Did the young people in the village go out early in the morning?"

The old woman on crutches paused, smiled and nodded: "Yes, hunting in the mountains is not easy after all."

Bai Lan said that she could understand, and then asked: "Speaking of which, if there are no young people left in the village, what should we do if a wild beast comes?"

The old woman stopped again, and this time she thought for a while before finding a reluctant excuse: "Those who won't come won't come, traps are set up in important places around the village, and the beasts and spirits in the mountains hold their revenge the most. If you suffer once, you will never come back again.”

So Bai Lan chuckled again, nodding yes, making the old lady laugh so badly that she walked into yesterday's room almost with the same hands and feet.

As soon as she entered the room, Bai Lan saw the food placed in front of her seat. As usual, there was a bowl of rice, a small dish of dried radish, and a small dish of white meat. It was just a small bowl of soup more than yesterday.

During the meal, Bai Lan still didn't stretch out her chopsticks to pick up the plate of meat, and the old woman kneeling beside her stared so hard that her eyes almost fell out. Bai Lan almost couldn't laugh out of that expression.

Fortunately, Liu Jiang on the opposite side kept telling her not to lose the chain with his eyes, which made Bai Lan barely maintain his seriousness on the surface.

On the contrary, the noble lady at the head ate her share of meat without realizing it, and thanked the old woman, saying that such a precious person does not need to be eaten by her many times, and let the people in the village eat more .

Such a kind and noble girl, if someone else was here, he would have to remind her secretly if he knew about it, but it's a pity that sitting here is Bai Lan, a cold-hearted guy, and Liu Jiang, who only treats human beings. The same indifferent existence.

The two insiders just kept silent, watching coldly, only when the noble lady was about to finish eating, Liu Jiang asked abruptly: "I still have some here, do you want to eat?"

This sentence made the old woman stand up abruptly, stopped Liu Jiang repeatedly, and said: "How can the distinguished guest give in like this, don't worry, the villagers caught another mountain beetle yesterday! Tsubaki is here!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the noble lady to stop, she rushed out of the room with a vigorous pace that is not suitable for the elderly.

Liu Jiang and Bai Lan looked at each other again, and silently reached a consensus - this time it was Bai Lan's turn to speak to attract Chun Ji's attention.

When Bai Lan really wants to please someone, almost no one in the world can stop her from being charming and cute.After at least three sentences, Chun Ji changed her previous noble and reserved posture, stared at Bai Lan intently, and chatted with her more and more happily.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Jiang secretly put his share of mermaid meat into his sleeves, and when the old woman came back with a plate of new mermaid meat, Liu Jiang had already eaten up his share of food. .

On the other hand, Bai Lan was busy chatting with Chun Ji, making the latter happy, and the portion of rice barely moved.Provoking Chun Ji to apologize repeatedly, she took the porcelain plate from the old woman's hand, and finished the breakfast with Bai Lan on the plate of mermaid meat.

At the end of the meal, Chun Ji's favorability has obviously increased a lot, and her attitude towards Bai Lan has directly risen from a passerby yesterday to a confidant.

These changes were noticed by Liu Jiang, who was deeply moved by the sidelines, and couldn't help secretly imitating Bai Lan's way and skills of speaking just now.

As early as yesterday, Bai Lan had determined that Liu Jiang was not an ordinary person, and this guess was confirmed last night.It's just that she didn't expect that her current ally was so reliable, not only successfully preserved the next plate of fresh mermaid meat, but also found the kitchen of the mermaid village long ago.

The two took care of each other and cooperated very skillfully. Soon, the dish of mermaid meat was successfully mixed into a pot of cooked rice without anyone noticing. The next step was to wait for the results of the experiment.

The result came out very quickly. When they were having dinner that afternoon, a girl stumbled in and grabbed the old woman who was sitting with her and screamed: "Village chief! Zhizi is dead!"

With a bang, Chun Ji, who was sitting at the top, turned pale with fright, and knocked over the clay plate in hand.

The old woman raised her drooping eyelids, stared at the girl who grabbed her hand and reprimanded coldly: "What nonsense! There are distinguished guests here, what are you talking about?!"

The girl trembled and her face turned pale. She glanced at Bai Lan who was smiling at her, Liu Jiang who was watching from the wall, and Chun Ji who was staring at her with a pale face. She gradually came to her senses and let go of her hand.

"You can't say that, village chief," Bai Lan called out to the old woman affectionately, "I think this girl won't talk nonsense about such a big matter as a dead person. You'd better go and have a look."

"That's right, village chief," Liu Jiang lazily echoed, and looked at the joke with his head on his side, "Go quickly."

Chun Ji also nodded in agreement quickly.

Under the urging of the three of them, the old woman had no choice but to stand up and plead guilty to leave. Bai Lan and Liu Jiang looked at each other and waited quietly for the follow-up news.

When the village chief came back, his face had turned ugly, and he said that one person had indeed died. The girl Zhizi was accidentally killed by a wild animal while she was out hunting, and now the people in the village were preparing for the funeral.

Chun Ji, who is well-educated and reasonable, immediately said that if this is the case, then we should go to worship.

In the end, the village chief refused straight away. After three seconds, she probably felt that she refused too bluntly, so she hurriedly made amends: "Zhizi was injured by a wild animal, and his body is ugly. I'm afraid he will run into the distinguished guests."

Hearing that the description was terrifying, Chun Ji immediately hesitated, and subconsciously looked at Bai Lan.Under the village head's nervous gaze, the latter agreed with a smile: "Yes, you are not very courageous. If you faint at that time, you will really disturb Zhizi's rest."

The aristocratic lady with her big drooping hair just let it go, and said that when the family finds them, they will further bury the poor girl Zhizi.

That night, Bai Lan found Liu Jiang's guest room with ease, and found that Liu Jiang was already waiting in a blind corner nearby.Different from yesterday, the moonlight tonight was very bright. Under the watery moonlight, the red clothes on Liu Jiang's body turned deep red, making her fair skin and eyebrows more picturesque.

It's a pity that such a beauty is actually a cold-blooded animal. Thinking about it too, what kind of a guy would he be who agreed to do a mermaid experiment with Bai Lan?

In the process of chatting with Chun Ji during the day, Bai Lan discovered that besides mermaids, there are legendary creatures like monsters in this world.Now she has reason to suspect that Liu Jiang is not a human being at all, but a monster.

In this way, some small problems can be easily solved.For example, Liujiang once ate mermaid meat but dismissed immortality. For example, Liujiang’s attitude towards mermaids and humans is very contemptuous. For example, when discussing the story of mermaids and humans falling in love and eating each other, she obviously used A third person who stayed out of the matter told the story.

But even if Liu Jiang is not human, what does it matter, anyway, sometimes people will do more sinister things than the evil ghost Rakshasa.

Bai Lan easily walked to Liu Jiang's side, and asked her in a low voice if she would go to see the corpse.

Liu Jiang agreed without hesitation, apparently also curious for a long time.

Just like last night, there are still mermaids in the seemingly silent village at night.It's just that this time they didn't gather in the forest yesterday, but all walked to a single-family house in the west of the village.

Bai Lan and Liu Jiang quietly stood outside the window, carefully peeping in.Originally, Liu Jiang proposed to go directly to the roof, but Bai Lan refused, saying that she was not really light as a swallow, and that she might fall directly into this thatched roof if she stepped on it.It was rare for her to tell the truth, and then she was despised by Liu Jiang.

So Bai Lan became even more convinced that Liu Jiang was no longer an ordinary human being.

Several candles were lit in the room, and in the swaying firelight and shadows, there were mermaids dressed up by villagers, all of them were women, some were young and beautiful, and some were old.The young ones can tell at a glance that they have the same appearance, but the old ones don't usually notice it because of the wrinkles on their faces. Now when they stand together and compare, it's easy for people to find that their facial features are the same.

It seems that Liujiang didn't lie to herself, Bai Lan thought.Narrowing his eyes slightly, he saw a corpse surrounded by the group of people.

That corpse should be a branch, but with such a close distance and such invisible light, it is easy to find that the creature lying on the grass mat is not human at all.She was bluish-purple all over, with round fish-like eyes and no eyelids, so her eyes would still be open even in death.Four fangs protruded from the mouth, protruding from the upper and lower lips respectively.The snow-white teeth were shining brightly under the candlelight, and Bai Lan suddenly thought that the mermaid's teeth looked so sharp that they should be very handy as weapons.

She leaned into the ear of her ally, and said this idea, causing Liu Jiang to look at her strangely several times, with a look of disgust on her face: "Using mermaid teeth as weapons? You don't think it's dirty."

Bai Lan looked back innocently: "Because I lost my weapon, or would you give me one?"

Liu Jiang: "...I don't have one, don't look for me!"

When the two spoke, their voices were very low, and the mermaids inside were all focused on their companion's corpse, and they didn't seem to notice anyone outside.

The one closest to the corpse was still the village chief.She held up a candle, bent over with her hands behind her back, and carefully looked at the dead body of her companion, her face was so gloomy that it was about to drip: "Why didn't you tell her that she couldn't eat that meal?!"

With one sentence, Bai Lan's attention was diverted from Liu Jiang and she returned to the room.

The girl who came to look for the village head during the day bit her lower lip with an ugly expression: "Who knows why she didn't eat it, we all vomited after taking a bite, only she ate the whole bowl in one go, and she couldn't even stop her." live!"

Another person in the crowd said: "It's not that you don't know that Zhizi is a glutton. I'm afraid that the three human girls will find out the clue these days, and the village chief told us to hide again. We can't eat well, Zhizi I'm so hungry, I don't care what's wrong with the meal."

"Yazi, are you blaming me?" The village chief asked sternly as he swept towards the woman who was speaking.

"I don't dare to blame my sister." The girl Yazi I saw last night stood with her arms crossed, standing far away opposite the village head. A group of young and beautiful villagers gathered around her, in stark contrast to the old women who gathered around the village head. .

The village chief trembled from Yazi's insincere tone, his eyes gleamed red in the candlelight, and the teeth in his mouth elongated faintly, as if he was about to turn into a mermaid with a dead branch: "Yazi! Don't forget Oh, if I hadn't let you eat meat first last time, you would have died by now!"
