Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2301: The omen of darkness (11)
Chapter 2301 Omen to the Darkness (Eleven)
Of course those snakes aren't real snakes, they're not even living creatures. They were like a string of crystals floating in mid-air, swimming in the shape of snakes, each more than three feet long.
In this strange and inexplicable crystal world, Mutter does not expect to encounter any normal creatures. Perhaps the crystal snake in front of him is the form of creatures in this world.
And he instantly understood why he had not been able to spot these monsters just now, giving them a chance to get so close. The body of crystal snakes is originally composed of crystals. They have perfect "protective colors" in this crystal-filled world. It is difficult to find them if you don't get close enough. Mutter doesn't seem to detect the presence of eyes from the heads of these creatures (assuming that's really the head), and maybe these things don't have eyes at all, but rely on sensing surrounding sounds or vibrations to detect prey. If it was true, then the cat boy was doing the right thing by relying on thunder's cover just now.
But the crystal snake is so close to him, has his whereabouts been discovered?
No...probably not yet. If it was, that thing would have been besieging Mutter long ago, not wandering back and forth in front of him like this. If he is discovered, even if the other party doesn't invite friends, at least he will come to attack the cat boy immediately, right?
So the thing really doesn't have eyes, but it probably heard the sound of Mutter hiding in the crystal slit just now and sensed something was wrong. So it is here to check the situation now, thinking that the whereabouts of the cat boy can be pinpointed in the vicinity.
Thinking of this, Mutter couldn't help but block his breathing, his whole body froze, trying to keep the guy from noticing his presence as much as possible.
The crystal serpent is still there, swimming back and forth, as if it could swim in the air. It got closer, sniffed around more and more suspiciously, but still couldn't find the cat boy less than five feet away.
Mutter never moved a finger at all, and his concentration was developed in dark American football games for a long time, as the players needed to concentrate on getting ready before each kick-off. Coming down to the game, the field catcher is especially bad. The well-trained catcher can even stand still before the kick-off.
He is now using the stamina he has cultivated in his usual practice, hoping to save his life. In this inexplicable place, the local beasts are provoked, and it is likely that a group of them will be provoked as soon as they are provoked. It is almost certain to be beaten to death. Of course, Mutter will not be stupid enough to expose himself.
However, the crystal snake was also extremely determined. It sniffed left and right and couldn't find Mutter's whereabouts (fortunately, it was blind!), but it always refused to leave obediently, and was still spinning around in place.
It's not good for Mutter to continue this stalemate. He can hold his breath for a long time, but he can't hold it like this forever. He didn't know if his breathing would be heard by the monster. He felt that the monster's hearing was extremely sensitive, and the possibility of his breathing being heard was not low.
It's not good for the cat boy to procrastinate like this. He clenched the sword tightly, thinking if he wanted to rush over to give the monster a sword while it was still looking for him, and after killing it, he would run to a higher place on the mountainside to hide, so as to avoid causing more monsters to attack him. Notice. These crystal snakes seem to only be floating about a foot above the ground. They shouldn't actually fly, right? Can only hope so.
But is there really a sneak attack? Mutter was really uneasy about his sneak attack ability. He couldn't hold it any longer, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more serious.
Abandon this monster and flee directly to the heights?
No, not right. What if it could fly? What if it called all its mates? !
Just when the cat boy was puzzled, suddenly, something fell from the cliff above and hit the crystal monster with a precise thud. The strange snake was as brittle as it looked, and had no resistance to impact, and was smashed by a large stone (in fact, a large crystal).
"Hey, are you still alive?" A mysterious voice suddenly sounded not far above Mutter's head: "Come on, crawl to me before attracting the attention of the other crystal snakes."
"Are you...?" Although the cat-man boy was full of doubts, he also knew that the opportunity could not be missed. He immediately moved his body, quickly climbed out of the bunker, and then quickly ran on the cliff. Looking for the best route to climb up, jumping on the crystal wall in one fell swoop. The crystal wall of the cliff was not as cut and smooth as he imagined, and he could even say that he climbed up easily. Up there, about thirty feet above the crystal crevice where Mutter was hiding, there was another platform that the cat boy couldn't find just now. This platform was big enough for him to lie down and roll around, and it was relatively flat. .
And there, a wonderful figure has long been waiting for Mutter's arrival.
The diminutive figure is...a ragged rat man. Or a rare guinea pig.
A rat man? Mutter frowned. Rat people are an extremely rare minority among orcs. They live a nomadic and burrowing life in the Dawning area all the year round. Moreover, they are different from rabbit people. Rabbit people and caravans do business everywhere, and they basically hide. A bunch of guys who don't care about the world. They are so rare that they are often ridiculed by other orc races in the Dawning region as "Illusive Races", and no one has seen a Rat Man for hundreds of years.
How could Mutter meet such a Ratman in such a place? And this guy is very short. The cat-man boy Mutter knows that he is already short among his peers. The white rat in front of him is even twice as short as Mutter, and he looks exactly like a six or seven. Year-old human child. Because the Rat Man was originally known for his short stature and frail physique, the cat-man boy couldn't tell whether the Rat Man in front of him was a child of the Rat Man clan or an adult Rat Man.
"My name is Mutter, who are you...?" Anyway, Mutter was rescued by the rat man, and of course he wanted to say hello first out of courtesy.
"My name is Mitch. Nice to meet you."
"Mi..." Mutter's brows twitched, and the name of the white rat man in front of him was really full of grooves.
"By the way, were you also swallowed by the swallowing crystal?" Mitch asked: "I haven't seen anyone else swallowed in a long time."
"What do you mean by [for a long time]...?"
"It's been a long time...it's been a long time." Mitch the white mouse turned and walked to a crystal cave that was big enough for two people, and counted the carved marks on the crystal rock wall: "At least two hundred A cycle. Every day I wake up I'll make a mark here, thirty days is a cycle. Two thousand cycles is... um (counting fingers hard)..."
"Sixteen...years?!" Mutt gasped.
"Well, yes, sixteen years probably." Mitch nodded and said, "But my calculations may not be accurate. Although I sleep every day, a day here is not necessarily a normal day outside, there is no The concept of day and night is just that the sky will become darker at certain times of the day."
"But... 16 years? How did you spend 16 years in such a hellish place with nothing?! Not thirsty or hungry?!" Mutter asked in surprise .
"Since I've been trapped in this [Grain Boundary], I've never felt hungry or thirsty. I think that's how the world works. There's no concept of hunger and thirst. I'm sleepy, and the weather changes every day. Darkness will make people feel sleepy involuntarily."
"This------"
"You'll get used to it soon," the white rat said with a slightly weird smile: "Anyway, you're like me, you're stuck here and can never get out."
"But...it's impossible! I have to find my way out of this alien space!" Mutter was anxious.
"There will be no exit." Mitch sat down on the hard crystal, and said indifferently: "I have explored the valley near here, to the top of the mountain, to the end of the valley. I tried to explore the dangers of those snakes eating. But it was of no use. The top of the mountain was not going up at all, there was some kind of force field that prevented me from continuing to climb up. The end of the valley was a wasteland. I tried to reach the border, but somehow I have returned to this valley again. In short, this world has no exit, so give it up."
The cat boy frowned deeply.
"Your name is Mutter, right?" On the contrary, Mitch patted the ground beside him a little happily: "It's useless to leave in such a hurry, after a few cycles, you will be like me. , the temper has been completely worn away. Why don't you take a break here and talk to me about you? I believe that a lot of interesting things have happened in the outside world over the years, and the war between you and the East should be over, right?"
"The war in the east?" Mutter suddenly felt a little wrong, but he couldn't understand what was wrong: "What war in the east... By the way, who were you sent into this [Grain World] ?"
"I didn't mention it beforehand, okay?" Mitch lay lazily regardless of Mutter, "It's been so many years, and it's not interesting to bring up old things again. It's you, I finally got you out of the way. Those monsters were rescued, and in return, can't you tell me your story?"
"Hmm------" The cat-man boy was about to say something, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of spring light under Mickey's crotch who had been trapped in the crystal world for many years. He took off his jacket and threw it to the other party: "Please, cover it up first, okay?"
At the same time, Mutter wondered, judging from the development of this guy Mitch, he was really just a child. However, after being trapped in the crystal world for at least sixteen years, this guy is still a child? Unlike the Rat Man's physique, no matter how slow the Rat Man's development is, no matter how short it is, it won't be like this. Could it be that in this special alien space, the metabolism of the human body is stopped, and Mitch has not grown and developed all these years?
Mutter can't help but worry about his situation.
"What are you shy about?" The little mouse grinned, "You have to know that when I see you, I can wear ragged clothes that I haven't worn in a long time, so as not to embarrass you, it's already very face-saving. Usually I don't even have clothes. What to wear, although this dress is very tattered, it is the only connection between me and the real world, if it is also broken into pieces of cloth——"
"I see, anyway, you cover it up first!" Mutt said with a blushing face: "I gave you the coat too, don't give it back to me!"
"You are so kind, thank you." Mitch laughed, wrapping Mutter's coat around his waist to hide his shame.
I couldn't find any clues to leave this other world, and there was nothing else to do. The cat-man boy decided to at least meet the rat-man boy's request first and tell him about his experience. So he sat down beside Mitch and wanted to start the story.
Theoretically, the guy shouldn't have had a bath in sixteen years, and the body odor should be enough to make Mutter faint. But in fact, there is no odor on Mitch's body. It should be said that not only does it have no odor, but it doesn't even smell at all. There is no body odor that an orc should have, and there is no odor that a creature should have.
It always feels weird.
The cat boy temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart that could not be removed~IndoMTL.com~ just wanted to say something------
"Uh," Mitch looked up at the sky: "Night is coming."
"Night?" The cat boy also looked at the sky. The sky in the grain boundary used to thunder and flash all the time, illuminating the whole world with the light of lightning, but now the momentum of those lightnings is getting weaker and weaker, and finally the whole sky becomes clear, only some thin dark purple clouds continue to flutter. Without the light source, it means that the whole world will be darkened, and the place where Mutter and the others are also shrouded in darkness, and the outline of the entire valley can only be discerned from the extremely faint rays of light emitted from the surrounding crystals.
Is this the night of the grain boundary?
"Heh~" Rat Man boy Mitch yawned long: "I'll listen to your story tomorrow, Brother Mutter. It's time for us to sleep. No one can resist."
"Really...?...?" Mutter also suddenly felt an incomparably violent drowsiness, so sleepy that he couldn't even barely support himself without falling down. He could only slowly let his body land on the hard crystal ground, and then fell asleep.
