Chapter 781: The Road of Sand, the Heart of the Wolf
It's a long dream. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A dream that Loga knows is a dream.
The moment the four-winged eagle fell to the ground, her body remembered the reaction and pain of that moment, her legs were crushed, and her bones were like wheat grains under a stone mill turntable—although she had never grown wheat, she had seen how her people handled this food purchased from the north.
There is no doubt that she will not even be able to stand up for the rest of her life, let alone fight.
But now, she's still standing.
So it's a dream.
Only in dreams can reality be reversed.
Luo Jia took a deep breath and looked ahead. Beneath her feet was a sandy road with no end in sight, and every time she walked for a while, she would meet an opponent - yes, the opponents she had defeated in her life were now coming at her in turn. There was no ridicule, no ridicule, they passed her one by one, and then disappeared into the equally endless yellow sand behind them.
It started out as a sandworm.
It was the result of her first hunt at the age of twelve.
As it sneaks through the sand, it leaves a clear trail, and this is the easiest time to pull it out and kill it, and once it is quietly lurking, it is difficult to spot its location. However, the Sandworm is the most cunning hunter in the desert, disguising herself as a bush and stabbing the sandworm into the hot sand with her spear when it gets closer, piercing its head in half.
This record surpassed that of her brother and sister, and even in the great clan of Iron Sand City, it was considered extremely good. It was this hunt that made her like the pleasure of confrontation and fighting.
This time, the sandworm did not dive underground, but raised its head and slowly glided over the sand like a snake. For a moment, Loga even felt like it would spew a mouthful of acid at herself, corroding her beyond recognition. But in the end, nothing happened, and it passed her quietly.
Next up are the scorpions and the wolf of the desert...... Her second and third opponents.
The former left her, but the latter stopped. The Desert Wolf hesitated for a moment, then walked over to her with his tail wagging his tail, sniffing her calloused bare feet, then turned and walked alongside her.
Loga remembered that it was a brutal challenge - the women of Mokin had to work much harder than the men to become a qualified duelist. After hunting a large number of sandworms and poisonous scorpions, she set her sights on the wolves.
It's just that the wolves acting collectively were far more terrifying than she expected, and a sandstorm broke up the group, waiting for the storm to subside and a dense pack of wolves appeared on the horizon.
The encircled sandfolk resisted, but they were no match for the claws and fangs that pounced on them from all directions. One by one, the clansmen fell, and she thought she would be buried here, but she didn't expect that at the last moment, a tearing pain took over her, and then, she awakened into a goddess.
A gigantic wolf king.
She stood in the blood-stained sand, looking down on the wolves, and everywhere she looked, they fell as if they were kneeling to the god who ruled their fate.
After awakening, the road suddenly became much wider.
A leader of the same age, a clan warrior, and a battle-hardened warrior...... One by one, they came and disappeared one by one, and Luo Jia's heart gradually tightened.
Perhaps the dream will be over when the last opponent passes by her.
There is not much time left to walk.
She wanted to slow her pace a little more...... But it didn't work.
It didn't take long for the ground to darken, and it seemed as if something huge was skimming over her head. Luo Jia looked up and saw the figure of the four-winged eagle.
The last moment has come!
At the same time, the desert wolf beside him let out a roar, and his body swelled violently, and he pounced head-on towards the Sky Overlord.
The two behemoths slammed into each other, blood and feathers splattering in all directions, as if they wanted to finish the undecided duel on the Scorching Flames.
Loga held her breath and stared at her final battle - her body faithfully recorded all the feelings she felt with each fight, which is why she grew so fast faster than the average person. If she fights this monster again, she is confident that she can hold out longer, and she can bite off the other person's head without even waiting for the ashes to intervene.
It's a pity that she can't wait for this opportunity.
The battle quickly heats up, and Loga tries to rush to fight alongside the giant wolf, but finds that her body is completely immobile, and even her feet are beginning to lose sensation.
She realized that the dream was about to wake up.
The fear gripped her heart and made her tremble.
No, she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in bed like a waste!
She wants to stand up!
I want to keep fighting!
However, the feeling of confinement is getting stronger and stronger, and it has spread from the legs to the neck, and at the moment it is impossible to even move the lower neck.
Suddenly, the Desert Wolf's belly was pecked open by the eagle's beak, and it let out a mournful roar - it staggered two steps with its intestines, and fell weakly in the direction where Luo Jia was standing, even if it lost the ability to fight back, it still used its wide back to shield her from all the enemy's next attacks.
The pecking hit her in the heart.
Not ――――――!
Luo Jia jerked open her eyes and sat up.
In an instant, the sand road and the giant beast disappeared without a trace, and the exclamation of the maid sounded beside him, "Princess...... You, you're awake!"
That's right...... She was in a trance for a while and woke up from a dream.
The last time she stood was also ...... Wait, Luo Jia couldn't help but be stunned, she clearly saw the maid running to the side of the bed in a panic, wiping the cold sweat that broke out of her body. The old tent roofs, the swords hanging from the walls, and the blazing braziers are all clear.
How is it possible to do this with one eye alone?
She subconsciously reached out to touch her left eye, and the touch was intact.
No, not only the eyes, but also the two arms, there is not a trace of soreness in the body, even the feet......
Luo Jia jerked off the quilt, rolled over from the bed, and then stood firmly on the ground.
"This is ......," she said, looking at the startled maid.
"The group of northerners brought and brought a new goddess and healed all your wounds," the maid stammered, "and she didn't even use the herbs, and with a mere stroke of your hand, your wounds healed again." ”
"In Neverwinter in the Grey Keep, there is a witch named Nanawa. She has the ability to heal any injury, even if it is just one breath left, or a broken hand or foot, she can restore the injured person to the same thing. 」
The words of ashes suddenly appeared in Luo Jia's mind...... I see, what she said was not a word of consolation, but that there really was such a magical witch.
"What about them?" said Lorgar, quickly putting on her coat, "I have to thank her." ”
"It's gone. ”
"What?" she frowned, "what about the ashes?"
"It's not in Iron Sand City anymore, the Ausa clan took the first batch of sandmen to the southern border of Grey Castle two days ago. ”
"Yes......" the wolf girl's movements slowed, "how many days have I been unconscious?"
The maid timidly stretched out three fingers, and then added three.
"Six days...... It's been a long dream," she sighed, "has anything else happened in Iron Sand City during this time?"
"Yes, the Angry Tao Clan annexed the battered Blackwater Clan, and then launched a divine challenge to us......" The little girl's expression was a little downcast, "Patriarch, he, he didn't fight, but directly admitted defeat. Furious Flame has dropped to third place in the rankings...... We can't live in this stone fort anymore. ”
"Really?" Loga raised an eyebrow, "I'm going to see my father." ”
"Ah...... Wait, Princess, your hood and cloak!" The maid chased to the door with a stack of clothes, "There have been a lot of outsiders in the stone castle lately, some have come to consult with the patriarch, and some are ......," she said, her voice suddenly thinning as she spoke.
"You're here to drive us away, aren't you?" Loga reached out and touched the pointed ears on top of her head, then smiled at her, "Keep them, I don't need them anymore." ”
"Huh, but—"
Before becoming the patriarch, hide as much as possible the inhuman characteristics, even if it is a goddess, the appearance of an ordinary person will attract rejection and suspicion - this is the admonition from the father. But after walking the long sandy road in her dream, she knew what she wanted.
Half-human, half-beast?monster?
That doesn't stop her from fighting, right?
Luo Jia waved his hand and did not explain again, but strode straight towards the top floor of the stone castle.
