Rain

I struggled to identify the west in the jungle, running staggeringly, panting heavily.The vision became more and more blurred, I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand vigorously, and ran in the dark night.The silver knife was already in his hand, and he was cutting off the branches that blocked the way.I have to go back before dawn, I still have time.

After about half an hour, I finally couldn't bear the pain and stopped. Listening to the voice behind me, there should be no pursuers.Consciousness began to be a little confused, I leaned back against the tree trunk, covered my shoulder with one hand, took a deep breath, and tried to slow down my heart rate.

The sharp pain in my shoulder made me grit my teeth angrily.That sniper is really Yin, his bullet warheads will burst open after feeling the pressure, causing more damage.Now the pieces are set in my left shoulder one by one, and I can feel a few pieces stuck in the bone.Fortunately, I changed my posture immediately, otherwise I would have been shot in the heart.

Suddenly there was a rattling sound in the woods in front of me, I raised my head suddenly, clenched the silver knife tightly, and arched my back in a fighting posture.But the one who came out of the woods ahead was Zoro holding a net bag in one hand and pressing the other on the handle of the knife.He obviously didn't recognize me who was tightly wrapped in the cloak, but he could clearly see that I was in a mess at the moment.His vigilant eyes passed the silver knife in my hand, he was startled for a while, then he let go of his hand on the hilt, frowned and looked at me with the net bag in his hand: "You...what's the matter?"

I was in a daze, but I realized very clearly that I was finally safe at this moment.Then, belatedly, I realized that I was sweating all over my body and wet my thin clothes.Going to single-handedly challenge Tiqi alone is really too risky... I lowered my head wearily, put the silver knife back into my sleeve, and gradually focused my sight, and saw a puddle of things still wriggling around my feet. A giant centipede that had been dismembered unconsciously before.

"Zoro..." I took two steps in his direction, speaking with difficulty, "That's great..." I wanted to raise my head and smile at him, but my legs gave way and I fell down.Zoro stepped forward to catch me in time, his expression suddenly changed, with a bit of panic and annoyance, he immediately bent down and picked me up, started to run wildly and shouted: "Chopper! Chopper!"

"Promise me to tell Eric immediately..." I tugged at Zoro's collar and shouted, "Tiqi ate the dark fruit! Contact information..." My eyes turned black, I tried my best to keep my consciousness clear, and I gasped After several times of anger, he continued: "It's in my inner pocket! Promise me!"

"Understood!" I was relieved to hear Zhuo Luo's words, and fainted at ease.The last thought before falling into darkness is... Lu Chi, you are going the wrong way!

After opening his eyes, there was darkness.I stood up and looked around but couldn't see anything.It's so dark... no matter how you go, or which direction you go, it's always dark.

dream?I stretched out my hand and pinched myself a few times, breathing in the pain.But dreams shouldn't hurt, right?

I called every name and god I could think of, shouted until my voice became hoarse, and finally just walked forward in silence.I don't know if I'm moving forward or if I'm just standing still.It just keeps repeating the movement of moving forward mechanically.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light finally appeared in the distance.I was refreshed and quickened my pace, and the light became bigger and brighter.My field of vision gradually expanded, and I found that I was surrounded by a hazy layer of gauze-like water vapor, floating and refracting light.But I can't touch it, I can't touch it.

Is it clouds?fog?

I walked in it step by step, but I couldn't reach the end, and I couldn't see any difference.A figure appeared indistinctly among the layers of water vapor ahead.I was so refreshed, I subconsciously wanted to hold the weapon tightly, but found that I had nothing on my body except the covering clothes.I don't know if it's an illusion, but that figure is walking towards me.Can't see clearly through the mist.The silhouette of the figure gradually became clearer and more familiar...

I murmured in disbelief, "Ace?"

Is it him?Or is it a trap set by the enemy?

Walking quickly in that direction, I bumped into a transparent barrier.No matter how much he slapped with his palms, he couldn't continue to break through with his fists, and he couldn't take half a step forward.Although invisible, it really exists.

I put my hand on the transparent space and groped, and saw the figure on the opposite side make a similar movement.I tentatively put my hand on the barrier and remained motionless.The groping movement of the figure on the opposite side paused for a moment, as if hesitating for something, he also put his palm up, facing mine.

Obviously there was no sound, the dense fog suddenly cleared, and the figure in front of him disappeared.

I found myself standing in the depths of the primeval forest, surrounded by mist and trees growing uncontrollably, covering the sky and the sun.It can be vaguely seen that there are poisonous snakes and beasts passing by from time to time deep in the lush branches and leaves.Standing at the bottom of the tree in front of him was a little boy holding a long stick. He looked about five or six years old, with half-length curly black hair and freckles on his face.

I walked towards him slowly, and said uncertainly: "... Ace?" It was so similar... Except that the smile on his face was not the one I was familiar with, this kid was a miniature version of Ace.

He didn't move, continuing to look intently somewhere in the canopy.I followed his gaze and found a boa constrictor lying lazily.It seemed that he had just swallowed a whole prey, and his abdomen was bulging like a big ball, and he was resting and digesting... I walked up behind him, hesitated, and reached out to gently pat his shoulder: "Hi, may I ask..." I just watched my hand pass through the body of the child in front of me...but he didn't seem to feel anything, and began to climb up the huge banyan tree silently.

This is very dangerous...

I quickly wanted to follow up to stop him, but sadly found that not only could I not touch the child, but I couldn't even touch the trees, and my arm passed through directly...

I can only look down under the tree, hoping that he will not be discovered by the python.Obviously he was very careful, but he still slipped and brushed the whole branch and leaves along the way.The subtle rustling sound immediately attracted the python's attention, and the vertical pupils immediately locked on the intruder.Although the abdomen was swollen, the python's movements were still very flexible. After fighting for a long time, its sharp teeth and stinky saliva were about to bite and kill the child.I was so anxious, but there was nothing I could do, so I could only yell under the tree: "Get out of here!!!" In the nick of time, he avoided the boa constrictor's bite, and desperately nailed the wooden stick in his hand seven inches into the boa constrictor.Under the severe pain, the boa constrictor almost went mad, and its huge body slammed the child hard, knocking him down from the tree.

In desperation, I reached out to pick it up. The child was quite clever, and he endured the pain and tried his best to grab the branches around him. After falling more than ten meters, he finally managed to catch it, avoiding the fate of falling and falling to death.

The boa constrictor also fell off the crown of the tree due to its violent movements, but it didn't have such good luck, and finally hit the bottom of the tree... The painful rolling motion of the boa constrictor gradually slowed down, and finally remained motionless, with lifeless eyes.

The child stayed on the tree for a while, and slowly climbed down after confirming that the python had passed its breath.His face was pale, his body and hands were covered with scratches and blood, and he was in a terrible panic.Looking at the giant python that was dozens of times his size, the fierce hunting expression on his face was replaced by some blankness, and his voice was hoarse: "How should I take it back..."

I resisted the urge to sigh on my forehead... This kid was so busy hunting, he didn't think about how to deal with the prey if he succeeded... If it was only [-]% sure just now, now it's [-]% more... This kind of heartless Guy, isn't he my captain...
