Chapter 36 River Marsh Bamboo Forest
Chapter 36 River Marsh Bamboo Forest
The bamboo here is different from the outside world.The bamboo body is very high, with an average height of more than 50 meters.The width is also much thicker than ordinary bamboo, as thick as a normal human thigh.
They grow extremely luxuriantly, and those who enter the bamboo forest may easily lose their way due to the dazzling repetitive scenery.
But Lin Mian has a natural sense of direction.Plus, because of his abilities, he doesn't have to worry about getting lost at all.
Lin Mian entered the bamboo forest, squatted down with one knee on the ground, stretched out one hand and pressed the five fingertips to the ground.Immediately, he felt the sand and dust on the surrounding ground gently rising, and he was linked to the perception of sand within a certain range.
I want to go to the place my brother said.
When he closed his eyes, he would think of the map - at the southern end of this bamboo forest, near a slope.
There was a shuffling sound—at first glance, a slight bulge appeared on the ground, which turned into a line and spread out to the right, indicating the direction.
Lin Mian found his way.
He just wanted to get up when he remembered another thing.
By the way - Xing Pei.
The old people didn't say what the star pendant looks like, but Lin Mian thinks that from the name, it can be inferred that this kind of thing is probably made of the same material as the few pieces of gravel scattered by the Meteor Curse.
The black and blue stone has some light spots faintly shining inside.
Lin Mian recalled the appearance of the stone, and re-manipulated the sand in a nearby area.The sand connected with his consciousness at this time swept past in a fan shape.
As a result, on the way to the center of the bamboo forest, Lin Mian felt the sand rushing towards two points.
He himself raised the corners of his eyes in surprise.
I didn't expect... Is there really a star pendant buried in the soil?
He looked deep into the bamboo forest.
But he promised to go to his senior brother first.
Lin Mian only glanced at it briefly, then leaned back and shuttled through the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest is too big - even if you use the Xianjia move.It also takes about a day to cross the bamboo forest.
About halfway down the road to the south, Lin Mian suddenly heard a burst of laughter not far away.
Lin Mian wanted to guess what kind of player it was.But he smiled so happily, could it be that something good happened? ...Did you find Xing Pei?
Thinking about it like this, Lin Mian couldn't move anymore.
He looked around the surrounding things left and right, jumped up slightly, stepped on the vertical bamboo with both feet, and walked towards the top of the bamboo at this angle parallel to the ground.After reaching the tip of the bamboo, Lin Mian stepped forward on the twigs and quietly approached the direction of the laughter.
Through the layers of bamboo leaves, Lin Mian saw the smiling person.
He was dressed in silk, and he looked thin but looked a bit cunning—Lin Mian remembered that he was from the Devil's Cult, and his name seemed to be Chen Fa.
A translucent crow flew around him for weeks, as if celebrating something.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Fa held up a black oval object, and proudly said to his Shiling crow: "Thanks to you, thanks to you! Hahaha, this is too easy! How dare you just let this thing go It was hidden under the rock, fortunately, you flew over and saw it at a glance - I really didn't expect the Breaking of the Sky Conference to be so simple!"
The spells that the Demon Cult uses well belong to the school that borrows spiritual power.
They are able to summon shikigami—usually various creature-like shikigami—to use in battle.This crow is Chen Fa's spirit.
In order to keep vigilant, Chen Fa summoned Shiling out as soon as he entered the forest—he didn't even think it would be so simple.
When passing by here just now, the crow suddenly let out a loud ah as it flew over a huge rock.Chen Fagang prepared to scold it not to bark, but when he looked up, he saw that it was already flying towards him with the star pendant in its mouth.
Chen Fa immediately swallowed all the words of scolding, wishing he could rush up and kiss his crow.The crow handed the star pendant to him.This somewhat outspoken member of the Devil's Cult was so surprised by this unexpected joy that he burst out laughing on the spot.
But he didn't know that this scene happened to be bumped into by Lin Mian.
Lin Mian squatted on the top of the bamboo, and kept looking down, staring closely at the star pendant in the man's hand.
Tsk-brother, I really want to grab it.
But a minute later, a little bit of rationality pulled him back.He rubbed his hands regretfully.
Forget it, today, at least today, be an obedient person.
Lin Mian just secretly wrote down the shape of the jade pendant and the patterns on it.
Xing Pei was indeed made of that black rock.It's just carved into a jade pendant, with some inexplicable patterns engraved on it.
……
Lin Mian felt a little strange again.When I used sand to search for this kind of material just now, why didn't I feel that such a thing was buried in such a close place?Is there something wrong with him...
He rested his fingertips on his chin and thought for a moment.When he raised his eyes, he suddenly met a pair of round eyes.
Lin Mian: "..."
The crow screamed, flapped its wings, and stretched out its claws menacingly upward.
Chen Fa stopped laughing immediately upon hearing the sound.He raised his head nervously: "What's wrong?——"
However—there was nothing in the direction the crow was staring at.
Chen Fa shrugged and didn't take it seriously.Stuffing the jade pendant into the pocket of his bosom, he comforted the crow and said, "Don't make a fuss, let's go forward and see if there is still such good luck!"
Lin Mian slowed down a little when he turned around and saw no one was chasing him.Now his internal energy is stronger, and he walks on the bamboo more lightly.The twigs where the foot stepped did not move at all, as if he was made of cotton.Only a little breeze picked up by the clothes when walking quickly made the bamboo leaves move slightly.
Although most of the bamboo forests on both sides are monotonous and difficult to identify the same scene, but after walking for a long time, Lin Mian vaguely felt that the air around here was more moist and cool, and he also faintly saw the horizon rising not far away, like It's a dirt slope—almost there.
Lin Mian stopped on a tall bamboo branch and looked around, but he didn't see his brother.
He thought maybe the brother's initial location was far away, so he hadn't been able to come here yet.Not in a hurry.
Sitting on a bamboo branch and waiting for a while.On one side of his face, he found a particularly thick bamboo next to him.
After taking a closer look, I realized that it was not one—but two growing together.
Two identical bamboos stick together from the root and grow side by side.What is strange is the length of each bamboo joint, the slight color change from bottom to top - even the shape of every twig and bamboo leaf is exactly the same.
Lin Mian's eyes trembled... Are there twins like this?
He touched the twin bamboo with his fingertips, at the same time, there was a sound from afar.
"Jingle, jingle."
Lin Mian raised his eyes.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, wondering if the senior brother came here?He hurriedly stood up from the bamboo.
But this time, he didn't expect to accidentally step on the ground—the bamboo was more than 50 meters high, and Lin Mian's body tilted, about to fall from it.
——But before he fell off the bamboo branch, he suddenly felt a tightness in his waist and abdomen, and his arms were tightly wrapped around his waist.
His feet were suspended in the air, and he was picked up by the people behind him like this.
Lin Mian turned her head and looked at Yu Qingsui.
"Brother, you are here."
"Ah."
Lin Mian was a little shy by this action, and pushed Yu Qingsui's hand with both hands.
They ignored him and carried him anyway.After jumping off the bamboo, he landed on the ground before letting Lin Mian go.
"Be careful." Yu Qing said.
"I'm very careful." Lin Mian grievously told his brother what happened on the road.
"...The person from the Devil's Cult found a star pendant, a black stone about this size. I wanted to try to grab it, but you definitely wouldn't let me go."
Yu Qingsui didn't seem surprised that someone got the star pendant so soon.
"It's okay. When he meets these people later, he will hand it over by himself." He said lightly.
Lin Mian felt that he could hear a trace of killing intent from these words.He carefully glanced at Yu Qingsui.
"Brother, where are we going now?" He asked, "Where did you come from, the north?"
He felt that with Yu Qingsui's speed, it should be even faster.Therefore, it is guessed that Yu Qingsui's starting location should be far away from here.
Yu Qingsui was silent for a while, understanding what Lin Mian was asking.
"No." He said, "I met someone on the road, so I was delayed for a while."
Lin Mian opened her eyes wide: "Who? From the Demon Cult? From the Monster Race?"
Yu Qing stopped.
After a while, Lin Mian felt that he was wrapped in a furry thing.
I feel warm all over.
This is a big scarf brought by the Yaozu people.This kind of fluffy thing is made of cashmere grass that grows on the high mountains. It is white and fluffy, and it is very warm.
Yu Qingsui randomly tied a knot around Lin Mian's neck.It made Lin Mian look like a small animal, only showing a pair of clear eyes.
He said to the stunned Lin Mian, "You can do it yourself—I got it by hand."
After speaking, he turned around and walked forward.
Lin Mian's nerves tensed up, and he jogged to follow. When he reached the senior brother, he grabbed one side of the scarf and waved it in front of the senior brother.
"Senior brother is also dressed thinly..." His words got stuck, "That... Do you want to be together?"
Yu Qingsui stopped to look at him.
The atmosphere was a little quiet, and Lin Mian's heart was pounding.So the outside world didn't notice anything.
Bell, bell, bell—
The unnatural voice rang out a few more times.
In the deep forest, erratic white mist diffused from the tip of the grass, and some gloomy expressions appeared in the black hole-like eye sockets.
