Chapter 72: Cain
Flames, with just a little bit, have infinite possibilities to burn...... That's what the golden dragon unleashed.
Like a queen of flames, huge fireballs erupted from Fafner's palm...... No matter how many fibrous roots there are, no matter how fast they grow, they can't seem to resist the speed at which these flames burn.
It's just that the entire [Lost Rift] is so big that it covers the territory of the thirteen clans in the entire [Inhuman Realm]...... And here, it's just the [Lost Rift] where the [Torredo] clan is located.
The vines, and the fibrous roots that grow from them, are endless...... Even, these fibrous roots only have simple instincts - but after they were enraged by this place, the [Lost Fangs] in the rift below the entire [Torredo] clan fell into a state of riot!
At the edge of the pit of the corpses, countless vines entwined them, and they covered the entire slope of the pit, and even higher...... Like a huge vine wave, it was covered in waves!
In an instant, the entire pit of corpses completely turned into the territory of these bloodsucking vines...... On the ground, the intertwined blue-black blood-sucking vines looked like a coarsely woven carpet.
And then, from under the earth, one after another, the vines of the double package drilled out of the ground like long worms, twisting their bodies one by one, reaching a height of dozens of meters.
Fafnir still didn't care to unleash his dragon flame to his heart's content—but what it didn't realize was that it was already sweating profusely.
Suddenly, it felt a burst of emptiness in its body...... The Golden Dragon has a huge amount of magical power—but at this time, it has a feeling that it is powerless—and the magic recoveries around it are not only very few, but even more terrible...... It actually has some problems of its own.
It's a physical problem.
At this time, Fafnir was in a state as if he was about to have a defending champion match, but the night before the decisive battle, he indulged like crazy and rolled several prodigal fighters - after the first round, he was already sweating profusely, losing his strength, and his legs were weak - commonly known as: kidney deficiency.
The terrifying power of the dragon flame suddenly covered the churning vine waves, and then collapsed, and with it, dozens of huge blood-sucking vines that were thick with the two of them together shot out countless fibrous roots like fishing lines in unison, distangling Fafnir's body, limbs, and waist and abdomen.
Faced with this situation, the feeling of the golden dragon's inability became more and more obvious...... He even began to gasp for air.
Of course, even gasping for breath is nice to listen to – after all, it's a very close to perfect beauty...... Well, creatures.
- Me! Fafnir!
A huge dragon roar erupted from its mouth, and although the cry in its heart was not really spoken, but to this extent, whether it was Aimei or had the heart of a writer, it was still essentially a dragon attribute, and it was still the last golden dragon - the ferocity of the dragon was completely stimulated at this moment!
Finally, the golden dragon with weak legs was finally covered by layers of entwined roots...... It was so tight that it ended up being a huge cocoon!
Seeing that the mysterious [woman] who called herself [Miro-chan] was finally trapped in the roots of the [Lost Fang], at this time, holding the girl Mina in both hands, and [Norman], who was constantly relying on the bat's wings behind her to avoid the vines, her face suddenly became a little more solemn.
And in the face of the mountains and seas of vineless vines, [Norman] finally failed to break out of the [Lost Rift], and he couldn't even break out of the deep pit of corpses here, so the [waves] of these vines were directly covered, and he drowned in this terrifying sea of plants with the girl Mina......
When the resistance was no longer there, the entire pit of corpses was at least half as shallow as usual...... Because, there are already as many as half of the vines and fibrous roots of the [Lost Fang] here...... That is, after the death of the so-called first vampire, there are still active capillaries in its body.
Only the strange algae growing on the cliffs on both sides still emit a soft blue light...... It ended up in an eerie tranquility.
And in this dead silence, only the spirits of the children are playing or crawling on the sea of vines...... Scattered all around.
In addition, a large number of vines will automatically weave into various shapes...... Slides, mounts, or dolls.
It's like a companion...... Accompany these resentful spirits.
A strange and silent [playground] appeared on the sea of vines that flooded the entire pit of corpses.
......
Meanwhile.
Buried deep in the bottom of the sea of vines, in the original pit of corpses, the shelter built by the humans who once lived here...... A house made of the bones of a red dragon.
The perimeter of the house, and even the top of it, was now vacant...... The vines seemed to be woven into a basket, which was buckled upside down on top of the dwelling, and then began to harden...... The hardened vines are like iron branches, quite effective in resisting the unconscious growth of fibrous roots.
In the dwelling, between Luo Qiu and this little resentful spirit, the place where the fingers of both sides touched was like a glimmer of starlight, reflecting the surroundings.
......
What opens up are some fragments of its once short life.
Maybe it's fiction, maybe it's a real past - when the boss and the maid lady slowly open their eyes in this past.
It's still the original corpse pit, but everywhere you look, you have to be more energetic than when Boss Luo and Miss Maid first arrived.
The same color, the same pile of corpses, the same dwelling...... But vaguely there is a [road], which is a way that can be sorted out and can be walked by, rather than scattered and disorganized bones...... And, people.
The descendants of the ancient people who once lived here who escaped from the vampire farm.
Because it's just a reflection relationship, the [people] here naturally can't know that there is a pair of strange men and women around them...... They will never know, because strictly speaking, for them who appear at this moment, the boss and the maid belong to the future.
This is the past.
Other than that...... There is sunlight here—not by the light of the orchid released by the exotic algae, but by daylight.
Transparent, seemingly with real heat, allowing shadows to be clearly distinguished, accompanied by the light of the breeze - but without the sun.
This is also why Boss Luo's first feeling will be the relationship of [vitality].
"It's ...... here," the maid naturally saw the clue.
But Luo Qiu shook his head slightly, he looked at the people in front of him, and walked over—this place was naturally different from what was described in the animal skin diary.
At least, as it stands, the environment is slightly different from what he wrote in his diary - he saw a lot of food, made into all kinds of dry food, and put it in front of their homes.
Part of the edge of the pit has been reclaimed into a field, and men are working in the field. Women, on the other hand, are gathering berries near the fields, kneading the fibers of plants into lines in front of their homes, and using crude bone needles, making clothes...... There are also cases where newborn children are raised.
Luo Qiu heard the voice of a woman singing softly...... Through the bone-supported window, a mother gently pushes the cradle in the dwelling.
Inside is a sleeping child, who has only recently come into this world, and his eyes have not been able to open well.
- Send a wish and let the stars take away.
- Doing this work will take you far
- Send a wish and let the stars take away.
- You who draw the map will also be somewhere on the map.
- Wave your hand and send a hope;
- A last wish before death.
- Wave your hand and send a hope;
- Save all your failed souls......
It will make the child sleep better...... Lullaby from Mother.
It didn't take long for the man to return home with the day's harvest on his back...... The man who put down the heavy basket on his back, came to the cradle with a smile, bowed his head and kissed the woman, and then lowered his waist to kiss the sleeping child.
At this moment, as if he really existed in this past, as if he could really alarm men, women, and sleeping children, Luo Qiu put his finger to his lips and made a soft gesture to the maid.
He didn't even want to speak, lest he would break the peace of mind.
On the cleaner [road], the boss and the maid lady gradually came to a more open place...... There are squares, and there are all kinds of strange decorations in the squares...... This feeling is similar to the Clan's Farm.
The ancient people in the [Farm] received a variety of education and gave different personalities...... Even if they are the same age, their culture, aesthetics, and perceptions are different...... The first and only [crop] can be called a high-end [food].
But Luo Qiu has not yet found the figure of the little ghost, although this past is a link between the past and the future in this short period of time.
Maybe it's because of the perspective of using it, so it doesn't appear...... Or, it's just hiding.
Luo Qiu felt that it was more like hiding, playing a game of hide and seek...... The two of them looked at a nearby pillar made of unidentified bones glued together.
I saw a small figure, which was probing out at the moment, and then quickly shrank back...... Who else is it that is not the little wraith that invaded Maria?
But when the master and servant came to the pillar of bones, the little resentful spirit had already walked away first—into the chaotic but regular white bone [street].
It will look back frequently, as if it were a cowardly but very mischievous little monster who came out on Halloween...... It's like to guide them somewhere.
They followed.
The surroundings turned into a thick fog, which came suddenly, and then suddenly left, and was already on the edge of a pit of corpses...... It stopped at a hole at the edge of the bottom of the pit, looked back at Luo Qiu and the maid for the last time, and then plunged headlong into the cave and disappeared.
I didn't plan to go in with it...... Because they already sensed that someone was about to come out of this cave...... But the figure only came to the edge of the cave.
Where the sun can't shine, where shadow meets light...... A vaguely visible figure.
The little resentful spirit was hiding at the feet of this figure at this time, and then timidly poked out.
Voices came from the mouth of the cave...... It was the voice of the figure, a low, slightly hoarse, even old voice, "It's been a long time, it's been a long time since outsiders have been here...... Last time, it was a pair of dying lovers. ”
He...... It, the unseen figure in the cavern, was clearly different from all the humans here - being able to talk to the boss and the maid was, at least, proving that he ...... There is a connection between it and the lesser wraiths.
"Dying lover?" But Luo Qiu was not in a hurry to inquire about the other party's origin, but was more curious about the dying lover in the other party's mouth.
He... It said casually, "I used to live here...... Once upon a time. At least to you, it used to be. All right...... Don't stand, if you don't mind, come in and sit down, this kid rarely brings people in here, he probably likes you more...... I'll give you a good treat. ”
"Well, just bother. Luo Qiu nodded with a smile and walked into the cave randomly.
Walking through the daylight and into the darkness, you will find that this place is not completely dark - the missing fissure algae reappear in the cave, and the faint blue light reflects everything.
Boss Luo naturally saw the appearance of the person he was talking to.
He was wearing a sackcloth robe, which was in a torn position. His hair was not properly groomed, grew naturally, fell to his chest, and was gray.
Emaciated, the face has aged...... At the same time, his eyes looked like they had been gouged out by something, leaving only two deep-set eye sockets...... At least an old man who is old and blind - from the outside.
But since it will appear here, it will naturally have nothing to do with the ordinary.
"I didn't scare you. The old man walked slowly ahead...... He was very familiar with this place, even if he couldn't see it, he didn't hesitate in his steps, and only heard a low voice: "I don't know what I look like now...... But last time, I must have scared them. ”
"I don't think it's as bad as you think. Luo Qiu said casually.
The old man didn't look back, just smiled, "That's right, although it's a little vague, but I can feel that you at least have some ability to meet the pair of lovers last time...... I'm probably scared of a guy like me who doesn't have much ability. But I'm curious how you managed to dodge the fangs, and then let this little guy bring you in here. ”
"Sir, is this the inside of ...... [Lost Fang]? Luo Qiu suddenly asked.
The old man said, "Not all...... I may say that I am it, but it is not me. ”
At this moment, the maid lady, who had not spoken, suddenly whispered after seeing her master's thoughtful gaze, "Have you forgotten me...... Cain()。 ”
At the same time, the maid's body also exuded a trace of deliberate fluctuations.
The old man walking with the little resentful spirit in front of him suddenly stiffened slightly, and then stopped.
After a long moment, he slowly turned around, "I don't think so...... However, I don't know if this memory of mine is biased...... So, maiden of Orleans, tell me...... What the hell is this, which world?"
