[Comprehensive] Where was your birthday this year?

Chapter 57 8th Birthday in the Forest 9

Youkai are also called ghosts in some places. They are life that have existed since Izanagi and Izanami fixed the land with Amanuma spears. If human beings are yang and live under the sun, then youkai are yin and live in darkness. Among them, the two races have no intersection at all. Humans live in the Yang world, while monsters live in the Yin world.

I don't know when it started, the boundary between the yang world and the yin world became blurred, and monsters gradually invaded human life. After a long time, the world has become what it is today where humans and monsters coexist. Young monsters increase their strength by eating human flesh and internal organs, while human beings are full of hostility, hatred and fear towards monsters.

There are also many types of monsters, such as ghosts and monsters that people turn into after death, monsters that did not exist in human imagination, artifact monsters, beast monsters...even some acquired the power of human belief to promote The gods of the gods, whose predecessors were also monsters.

Among these big and small monsters, the most dangerous ones are beast monsters. There are many kinds of them and they are huge in number, and they more or less retain their animal nature before becoming monsters. Most of the monsters attacking humans are reported by beast monsters. Most of the beast monsters that attack humans are cruel, making humans fear and hate them.And beast monsters don't just attack humans, they also attack the same kind. After all, devouring the flesh and blood of monsters can also increase their strength.

Yimulian mainly made Yuyi wary of beast monsters. Most of the artifact monsters and monsters transformed into humans gather in places where humans live. Only beast monsters are in large numbers no matter where there are people or where there are no people.

Yimulian's explanation was very detailed, and it was already evening when Yuyi digested all the knowledge about monsters. She told Yimulian how to use the medicine she made, and then she was about to leave and go back.

Before leaving the shrine, Yuyi suddenly remembered what Yimulian said before, so she asked one more question: "You said before, are there monsters under the tree roots next to my residence?"

Yimulian nodded, and explained to her: "It's a moth's larva, probably lived in my place for a long time, showing signs of becoming a monster, if she can successfully break out of the cocoon, she will really become a monster. If you live there, you don’t have to worry about anything, it takes a long time for a monster like this to transform from an ordinary creature or object, probably more than a hundred years.”

Then she doesn't need to worry for the time being, she probably won't be able to live for as long as 100 years.Yuyi thought uncertainly, according to common sense, she does not have such a long lifespan, just look at her grandfather and uncle, if they are stronger than them, she will still age, but she did live in Dorias For hundreds of years, no one knew why, but she guessed it was definitely not the norm.

Putting the moth larvae who were about to become monsters aside, Yuyi thanked Yimulian and said goodbye. After learning about monsters today, she felt that it was necessary to make some self-defense props for herself. Although this land was protected by Mulian, in case There are monsters ignoring him and attacking, she must have a means of self-defense.

Given her age, the best self-defense weapons are short knives and daggers, but now Yuyi has no place to find these. She has observed it when she was wandering around the village before. This village may even be the world's smelting metal The craftsmanship is far from meeting her needs, but let her make it by herself... Although she visited Doriath's smelting workshop and weapon workshop, she was limited to visiting, after all, no adult elf would let a five-year-old The older children touch those dangerous things, let alone she is a girl. Although the elves do not discriminate against women, most of the female elves in Doriath still rarely touch weapons.

Yuyi didn't think of any good solution until she walked back to the cave where she lived. She sat down on a tree root protruding from the ground in a bit of distress. After a while, she decided to deal with dinner first, and slowly figured out a solution for the weapon matter.

While fetching water for dinner, Yuyi passed by a big tree that even said there was a monster. She thought that the larva was cocooning and it was not aggressive, so she peeled off the grass near the root of the tree and looked inside. look.

There is no lighting, but Yuyi's Samsara Sharingan can still clearly see the situation under the tree roots. There is a big light golden cocoon between the two tree roots. Inside the cocoon is the big one she has seen. It was a worm with hairs, and the worm's hair was so characteristic that she remembered it clearly. At this moment, the worm seemed to be dead in the cocoon, motionless, but its body exuded a very soft light.

A soul that can radiate pure and soft light is definitely not a sinister person. No matter what the future holds, at least this monster is still kind.Yuyi took a few glances and then drew away, gathered the grass leaves near the roots of the tree, thought for a while, and put down the illusion here again to protect the larva.

The days went by steadily, and Yuyi hadn't thought about the weapons. The people in the village came to harvest in autumn. She would occasionally sit on a tree at the edge of the forest where she could see the fields, watching the people in the golden Working in the wheat field in full swing, wondering if the situation in her home is the same.

If...if she didn't have congenital deficiencies, or if she didn't have such a high talent, shouldn't she be following Ashura at this moment, breathing in the air full of the fragrance of wheat, while wondering how the wheat is harvested, threshed, hulled, and dried? How the steps are carried out, Asura will definitely explain to her in detail, and will take her to try it out by herself, right?

So... when will her fathers find her?

Looking at those bustling scenes, Yuyi occasionally thinks this way, but she doesn't have much time to feel sad and lost. After the people in the village finish their autumn harvest work, it's her turn to prepare food for the winter.

It was already summer when Yuyi came here, and she obviously didn't have time to plant crops, not to mention that even if she could use the wood trap to grow a crop of wheat, she couldn't complete the follow-up work of harvesting alone.

The food for the winter is naturally rice and noodles, and Yuyi’s idea is also very simple. She waits for people to process the crops, and then exchanges them with the medicines and dried fruits and meat that she made during this period. As long as there is a small bag of rice and noodles, With the addition of the mountain products she usually reserves and a small amount of seeds for emergencies, it is not difficult to survive the winter.

In order to prevent the oolong incident of Yimulian's messenger from happening again, Yuyi cast an illusion on herself before going to the village, so that in the eyes of the villagers, she would be a girl of thirteen or fourteen, instead of an eight-year-old child. It's much more convenient no matter what you do.

This year is a bumper year, and almost every family has extra food. It didn’t take much time for Yuyi to exchange for the rice noodles she needed. The quality of the dried fruit and meat she made was not bad. In addition, medicines are very rare in this era. Therefore, the villagers are willing to give some help to this "girl" who lives alone, and it is very refreshing to exchange supplies with her.

In the evening, Yuyi left the village with a full harvest. When she was out of sight, she released the illusion, tied the bags of rice noodles together, and hung some food that the villagers kindly gave her that could not last for a long time. On the bag, carry it together and walk into the forest.

The bag filled with rice noodles is heavy, and Yuyi's strength is slightly stronger than that of a girl her age, but it is definitely not beyond the limit of normal people. She can carry this bag entirely by strengthening her physical strength with Chakra. Although Indra and Asura did not have any requirements on her cultivation progress, she also practiced these basic skills solidly while she was busy learning survival and healing.

It's just that today is not a suitable day for going out. It gets dark early in autumn, and Yuyi walks carefully in the forest under the moonlight. Just a few steps away from the cave where she lives, a male voice with some interest comes to her There was a sound not far from the ear.

"Oh? It smells very good here."

It was just a very common sentence, but Yuyi froze suddenly. The person who spoke was obviously a man, but there was a sense of charm in that voice that was far inferior to that of women, a trace of laziness, a trace of frivolity, a trace of carelessness, very It has characteristics and is also a very dangerous sound.

In the vision of Samsara Sharingan, Yuyi could see a dark power spreading in the air. It was very powerful, but it was completely different from the power of Hades.

Yuyi was a little bit surprised in her vigilance. She actually felt that the power of this unknown creature was somewhat similar to the Yin power possessed by Indra.

Humans are yang, and monsters are yin, so did she meet a monster?

Recalling Yimulian’s introduction to monsters before, Yuyi had a bad feeling in her heart. Yimulian never said that there are powerful monsters living around here, because generally powerful monsters are unwilling to live in places protected by gods and act recklessly. It is not an exaggeration to say that monsters who feed on humans and gods who protect humans are incompatible, so the monsters she encountered must have come from outside.

When a powerful monster from outside talked to her, Yuyi didn't think that the other party just took a fancy to the food she was holding, but the other party's intention was unknown and he didn't do anything directly. If the situation is reported to Yimulian, she should not be in danger.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Yuyi turned to the direction of the voice, and said to the figure hidden in the shadow of the tree: "If you are hungry, I can share these foods with you."

"Oh, those mundane things can't satisfy me."

The person under the shadow came out with a chuckle. Even though Yuyi was fully alert to him, she still opened her eyes wide after he was completely exposed to the moonlight. She saw what she had seen since leaving Dorias. The most beautiful person, the man in front of her is wearing a fancy dress, with fox ears and tails, playing with a black folding fan in his hand, and a pair of golden eyes staring at Yuyi with interest and an indescribable sense of danger.

Yuyi, who was being watched, swallowed her saliva quietly, but she still looked at the man twice more. She thought that this man should be the fox monster among the beast monsters. It's hard to describe, she thinks that the other person really looks like Indra in some parts of his body, but Indra is proud and cold, without his charm.

The author has something to say: I really use the Slick Ghost【】

Then I lost contact for a few days, and there was something wrong in the last three times. To sum it up, don’t reason with the patient, because the patient’s spirit is also sick :)
