Chapter 633: Night Walking
At night, Tian Xian lay in the makeshift camp, bathed in the starlight that peeked through the canopy of trees that seemed to float in the sky, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
During the day, old Kabu fears that the Kuroshio Tide is coming this way, but Luna dismisses it, and everyone naturally believes Luna's words, she is not only a good hunter, but first of all, she is an elf who can blend into the forest.
However, Tian Xian believes that Luna's condition is not good now, although it is not obvious on the surface, but if you look closely during the day, you can still find that Luna looks completely different from the past in some details.
The most direct and clearest thing is that the spots of light that surround her have become a lot more restless.
Tian Xian has not seen a few elves, but he also knows that Luna is a very peculiar one of the elves, and there are always small points of light like little goblins around her, and when Luna is quiet, these points of light are also quietly attached to her, and these points of light can also be condensed into a longbow when she needs them, and today Xian doesn't understand what this is all about, but it is certain that not every elf is like this.
Moreover, the light spots that surround her are a kind of energy body with faint fluctuations under the detection of energy tentacles, and recently, the energy fluctuations of these light spots have indeed become less stable.
Maybe Luna is bothered by something right now, or maybe the Kuroshio is really coming this way......
Suddenly, Tianxian's heart moved, and he faintly felt something moving in the camp.
Immediately closing his eyes, the energy tentacles quickly reached over, and Tian Xian found that a glimmer of light had disappeared into the forest, and there was no trace of Luna in the camp.
Quickly getting up, he glanced around the camp, where Luna was resting, and the place where Luna was resting was empty.
In such a dangerous forest, in the middle of the night even more dangerous. Where can she go?
Looking at the snow that had curled up into a lump of sleeping like a kitten in her arms, Tianxian wanted to let her go, but she hugged herself very tightly.
Thinking that Xue would have nightmares if he was not there, Tian Xian simply picked up Xue's small body. Silently chased after the direction where the light had disappeared.
The night in the Eastern Kingdoms seems like every day is a carnival.
The towering canopy of the trees rattled and immersed the whole forest in the strange sound of horns, and countless branches and buds grew wildly in the middle of the night, making a crackling sound, and the branches of grass and leaves waved like a devil in this crazy growth.
Tian Xian couldn't tell where the strange sounds in his ears came from, and he didn't bother with them now, the shimmer light was very fast, and it was as difficult to track as if it could fly freely in the forest. Fortunately, there are abnormal noises everywhere in the forest, which can largely cover up the sound of Tianxian tracking, and Tianxian only needs to consider not exposing his body.
Eventually, the glimmer stopped in front of a giant tree.
Tian Xian took advantage of the black forest cover, peeked forward, and found that this was a strange place, a huge forest appeared here in a circular clearing, this clearing is about a hundred meters in circumference. The plants inside are much smaller than the surrounding ancient trees, except for a huge ancient tree in the center of the clearing. The twisted and tangled trunks shimmered with black iron in the moonlight.
Tian Xian didn't know if it was one tree or many trees, because this tree looked like the other giant trees in the forest, as if many trees were coiled together, and there were huge cracks and gaps in the trunks, and there was a loud "rattling" sound from the gaps that seemed to be twisted together under the starry sky. It's as if this towering ancient tree is also growing.
Soon, Tianxian's attention still fell on the glimmer in front of the ancient tree.
This glimmer is indeed Luna.
Those glimmers that looked inconspicuous in the daytime seemed to be flying around her at this moment, shining on her delicate face.
Tian Xian couldn't see Luna's face clearly, because she was half-kneeling in front of the huge ancient tree with her back to Tian Xian. With her head hanging as if praying, she listened carefully, but the noise in the forest was so distracting that she couldn't hear if Luna was muttering to herself.
Running here alone while everyone is asleep is an extremely unusual act anyway.
Soon, a faint green glow appeared on Luna's body, and this light stroked Luna's long green hair like the wind, and the silky hair shimmered with a faint halo in the light.
She was actually in tears.
Tianxian's heart was full of shock, Luna actually shed tears, in Tianxian's impression, Luna has no tears, although I don't know why, but Tianxian instinctively felt that Luna would never cry, she had crossed the Moyun Mountains alone, crossed the silent forest alone, and lived alone in the human world for a long time......
Luna is a strong man, both mentally and physically.
Tian Xian couldn't imagine what would make Luna cry alone in this no-man's land at night.
Luna's green glow lasted only a few moments before seeping into the massive tree, and Luna then stood up and stood under the tree with her head up, not knowing if she was looking at the black canopy or the stars.
She just stood there, not moving for a long time.
Tianxian hesitated for a while, and finally took a step forward.
"Smack"
Tian Xian stepped on the tree branch, although the forest was chaotic, but this obvious footstep response should be enough to arouse Luna's alarm, to Tian Xian's surprise, Luna actually didn't notice, just stared at the sky.
It wasn't until Tianxian walked less than twenty meters behind Luna that Luna suddenly shook her body and quickly turned around: "Who!"
When Luna saw that she was standing in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect anyone to follow her, and in such a strange manner.
"You're following me!?" Luna quickly regained her composure and became furious.
Tian Xian didn't explain himself, found a stone on the ground and sat down, adjusted the posture of Xue in his arms, hugged her well, and then said, "Sister Luna, let's talk." ”
"I have nothing to say to you, little ghost! You'd better not be nosy. ”
Tian Xian brushed the scattered hair on Xue's face, and said softly: "I don't know if I said that I don't have a mother." ”
Luna frowned slightly, "What did you say?"
"When I was born, my mother passed away due to difficult childbirth, and I never saw my mother before. I don't remember her voice, my impression of my mother is my uncle's wife, and we all call her Sanniang in a group of little guys, she is a strict woman on the surface, but gentle on the inside. ”
Luna snorted, "I don't have time to listen to your story, I'm going back." ”
"Sometimes, I feel like you're half a mother to me. ”
Luna turned to leave, but Tian Xian's words made her stop. Slowly turning around, Luna's expression turned cold, "What the hell are you going to say?"
Tianxian looked up at Luna and said, "The first time we met was in the Silent Forest, I was actually scared at the time, but then I realized that you saved me without your approval. Hank won't fully accept me, he'll just save my life. Not to mention teaching me swordsmanship later. ”
"No woman ever grabbed me by the hair or strangled my neck, nor did anyone pat me on the head and give me a warning and tell me how to live......"
Tian Xian lowered his head, "I don't know what kind of feeling a mother should have. But...... How much is it to have an older woman around who cares about herself...... That's how it feels. ”
"Knock"
Tian Xian's head was hit, and Tian Xian's teeth grinned in pain.
Luna withdrew her hand with an impatient face, "Little ghost, I am in the middle of my youth and beauty, you dare to say that I am old enough to be a mother!
Tianxian smiled awkwardly. Feeling warmed in her heart, Luna changed a little back to her old self.
"I know, even though I always think so, ...... I knew I couldn't possibly know what my mother was like......"
This sentence said that Tian Xian's heart was slightly sour, in his previous life, he was an abandoned orphan, not to mention his mother, he didn't even know who his father was, and he liked to flirt with the little girl in the grocery store opposite at a young age, maybe ...... It also has something to do with that little girl who has a gentle and amiable mother, and that woman likes herself very much......
And in this life, it was his own birth that killed his mother......
"But I know, I know you're a good man, a good man who will lend a helping hand when I'm in trouble...... I've always thought that no matter what happens in the future, as long as Sister Luna needs me, no...... Even if she doesn't need to, as long as she is in trouble, I must help her!
Raising his head, Tian Xian once again looked at Luna, who was only a silhouette in the moonlight, "I'm here alone, I don't want to alarm anyone else, I can swear, I'll keep everything I hear today a secret, Sister Luna, I want to know why you're here, what you're doing here, but it's not for curiosity or other nonsense, I just want to help you, help someone who once rescued me, taught me, and made me feel that the world is still full of wonders." ”
Luna couldn't help but exhale heavily after listening to Tianxian's big call, "I'm fine, I just want to come out and relax, I haven't been back for a long time, that's ......"
"But you're crying. ”
"You......" Luna quickly wiped her face, "I'm not crying!"
"Okay, you're not crying, so tell me why you're here and what you're doing?"
"I said I just haven't been back for a long time and want to be alone in the forest for a while!"
"Then why are you crying?"
"I didn't cry!" Luna became annoyed.
"Then why are you here when you didn't cry?"
"I'm just ......"
“......”
“......”
......
Five minutes later, Luna had to admit defeat to Tian Xian......
"You bastard little ghost, when did you become so good at messing around......"
Tian Xian gently shook the snow in her arms, because she seemed to be about to be woken up because of the loud conversation between the two, Xue muttered in a daze, turned her face to Tian Xian's arms, and fell asleep again.
Glancing at the snow, Luna sighed again, "I've never seen anyone hold their little lover and put her to sleep while arguing about solving people's problems." ”
Tian Xian smiled, "Snow has to sleep next to me, otherwise I'll have nightmares." ”
Luna stared at Xue for a long time, and suddenly said, "How is my sister still alive, she should be about the same age as Xue......"
Tianxian was stunned for a moment, "Sister ......"
Luna inhaled slowly, exhaling slowly, "Yes, my sister...... And my brother, my relatives, all my relatives are lost on the human continent......"
I was surprised to hear that the reason why Luna broke into the human continent alone was to find her relatives who had been captured by humans, but I didn't expect it to be more than just one person.
Luna looked at the giant tree in front of her and sighed, " You see, the Eastern Kingdom is a cursed land, the great destructive power of the war of the gods has almost destroyed the entire world, and at the same time, those twisted forces have also made many parts of this world no longer peaceful, the Far North has been frozen all year round, and the huge cold ice fields have completely covered the original northern continent, and the southern part of the continent used to have lush life, but now there is only a black sea, and there is nothing but whirlpools and storms, and this land that seems to be more well-preserved has been distorted, and life here has become crazy......"
"As a superior servant of the gods in the age of the gods, he can only pray to such crazy things now...... Prayers never come true. ”
Looking up at the sky, Luna said sentimentally, "I never thought I would come back alive when I left here, all my family members have been captured by humans, and I still don't know if I am dead or alive...... I have been alone in the human world for a long, long time, so long that I don't know how many years have passed, I used to think that it would not be difficult to find my family with the keen sense of the elves, but in the human world, life is vast, and the population of a small country is ten times more than the population of the entire Eastern Kingdom, and finally ...... I can only come back here, to this land of madness and curses, and pray to these cursed lives...... Pray that my poor family is still alive......"
"Ahhh......h That's how I let myself go back here, no longer looking for them, if they die, their souls will return to the origin of the world, and if they live, they can only suffer endless pain. ”
Two lines of tears crept across Luna's face......
Wiping away her tears, Luna looked down at Tian Xian, who was looking up at her, and said with a wry smile, "Satisfied little ghost, that's why I'm here myself." ”
Tianxian was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "It seems that ...... I still can't be trusted. ”
Luna was slightly surprised.
"Sister Luna, I'm sad about your family, but it's your private matter...... You're not going to joke with everyone's lives for this, and if you really don't want to say it, then I'll go back......"
Tianxian stood up, "I won't tell you about today's events, but I hope that one day you can tell everyone yourself." ”
Watching Tianxian slowly leave with the snow in her arms, Luna could only let out a long sigh......
"What a pestering little guy......" (To be continued.) )
