MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 117 in the deep forest

The giant snake moved forward all the way, and the mountain wind blew people blind.

When learning to fly the aircraft, Lu Tinghan received a lot of training, high speed and weightlessness are not big things, not to mention that the head of the White Snake is very stable. But... across the mountains on a giant snake? He never thought of it in his life.

"Look!" Amidst the sound of the wind, Shi Yuan shouted, "There is a river over there!"

Lu Tinghan also saw it.

This is far away. Even if he has never been to this area of ​​deep mountains and old forests, he saw roaring rivers in the valley, rushing for thousands of miles, crashing into snow-white flowers on the cliffs. No matter how good the water quality falls into it, it will not be able to protect itself. This place is a world of its own, with groups of fish jumping, and strange and mutated birds hovering in the wind and nesting on the stone wall.

Farther away, there are thousands of valleys and thousands of rocks, countless creatures are active, either walking in the sun, or hiding in the shadows, screaming, roaring, whispering...

They were caught off guard and broke into another world.

A world that belongs only to monsters.

Human beings find this place terrifying, but for monsters, overlooking the mountains and everything in this way is a pleasure. Lu Tinghan turned his head to look at Shi Yuan, the strong wind blew the boy's black hair into disorder, he stared into the distance intently, his eyes were lit by the sun.

Lu Tinghan laughed silently.

After an unknown period of time, the giant snake slowed down.

They have been going to the high place, and the fog in this mountain range is thick, like milk that cannot be melted. When the giant snake slowly lowered its head, the two were immersed in the mist.

"Xiaobai," Shi Yuan asked it, "what do you want to show us?"

Lu Tinghan: "..."

He will probably never be able to accept the name.

"Hiss—" White Snake spat out the letter, which was the answer.

Not long after, a gust of wind blew, the clouds and mist billowed, and bits of broken light floated up around him.

That is the brilliance of the petals.

The pure white and light pink flowers are intertwined, overwhelming and unreal.

Watching flowers through the fog has a unique style, looming, true and false. When Shi Yuan saw a bunch of blooming flowers beside him, he couldn't help reaching out to pick them. When he touched it, he realized that it was a cloud scattered in his hand; and when he took a closer look at the place that seemed to be a large cloud of white mist, it turned out to be a cloud. It is a large sea of ​​swaying flowers.

Shi Yuan said, "Wow!"

Lu Tinghan also stretched out his hand, and the misty mist wrapped around his fingers, leaving cool water vapor.

"It's beautiful," he said.

The giant snake moved forward for more than ten minutes and stopped.

"Hoohoo—"

Another gust of wind.

This time the style was extraordinarily fast, sweeping the world, and the clouds and mist swirled around for a while. It is too huge, like a hurricane in mythology that can destroy the world, but it is gentle and has a floral fragrance.

The two looked up together, watching the shattered petals riding the mist towards the dome. At this moment, the sky cleared, and the azure blue suddenly broke into the eyes. The valley was unobstructed, and thousands of flowers bloomed like snow.

This is the sea of ​​snowy flowers blooming in the secret valley.

The white snake doesn't understand beauty and ugliness. When Shiyuan gave it flowers that day, it knew that this little **** loved flowers, and brought him over the mountains and ridges.

It hangs its head to the ground.

Lu Tinghan jumped down first, turned around and stretched out his hand to Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan didn't hold Lu Tinghan's hand.

He bent his eyes and smiled, opened his hands and jumped down—

Lu Tinghan caught him firmly.

They smiled and embraced among the snowy flowers, the giant snake held its head high, and cruised to the mountains not far away, entrenched among the peaks to rest.

Shi Yuan and Lu Tinghan walked in the valley hand in hand.

The light was undulating, and looking up, there were several black branches growing on the stone wall, dotted with pale pink flowers.

They also heard the sound of the stream.

After walking for a while, a clear stream appeared in front of me. Several monsters like little crabs ran away in a hurry when they saw Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan splashed a handful of water on his face, it was cold and refreshing.

Lu Tinghan stood beside him and said, "Shi Yuan, look over there."

When Shi Yuan looked over, there was nothing on the dark blue mountain.

He asked, "Look at what?"

Lu Tinghan: "There is a road there."

Shi Yuan:?

He looked hard for a while and said, "Where is it?"

"You can see it when you walk over." Lu Tinghan said with a smile.

The stream was going in that direction, too, and they went down further into the valley. From time to time, small sounds came from the sea of ​​flowers, and a group of little furry monsters ran over and looked at them secretly.

Shi Yuan picked beautiful flowers while walking.

This one is beautiful, and the other one is also beautiful. Before he has gone far, he already has a big bunch in his arms. Lu Tinghan turned around and couldn't see Shi Yuan's face, but saw a large group of white flowers moving, and a cheerful tail fluttering in the wind.

Shi Yuan really couldn't take it anymore, Lu Tinghan stretched out his hand to take most of the bouquet, and said, "You just like flowers that much?"

"Yeah." Shi Yuan said, "I like it very much." He thought for a while, "The first time we met, you came with Huahai."

They came to the foot of the mountain.

As Lu Tinghan said, there is a way through the flowers and the dense and smooth green grass.

The road surface is covered with vegetation, and you have to be very careful to see it. Fortunately, Lu Tinghan can still see it from such a distance.

It was severely damaged and intermittent. The two of them pulled the flowers and grass, and occasionally saw half of the bluestone slab, or a few regular bricks and stones. In this way, they followed the faint traces and walked up the mountain.

Shi Yuan asked, "Was there a city here before? How could there be a road?"

"It's not a city. This kind of terrain is not suitable, and there is no record on the map." Lu Tinghan replied, "It may be a mountain village."

"Okay." Shi Yuan said, "I haven't seen a mountain village yet."

"I do not have either."

"What's the mountain village like?"

Lu Tinghan: "There are not so many high-rise buildings, and they are not too crowded. You can see fields and animals."

"Sounds good." Shi Yuan thought for a while, "I will like it too."

Going forward, there are not so many Xuejianhua, replaced by wild flowers. They come in many colors when infected and grow under pale trees.

Shi Yuan couldn't hold back, and started picking flowers again.

He couldn't hold it in his hand, so he picked it with his tail. The tip of the tail curls back and forth, binding small autumn yellow and thin blue flowers.

From time to time, he got into trouble: "Lu Tinghan, which of these two flowers do you think looks better?"

Lu Tinghan said, "They all look good."

Shi Yuan said: "Every time I ask you, you always tell me you look good."

"It's true, they all look the same."

Shi Yuan shook the tip of his tail very dissatisfied: "How is it possible, you are perfunctory to me."

Lu Tinghan: "..."

Although the land general is completely bent, his aesthetics are still at the stage of straight men, and he really can't tell the difference between the two flowers.

After a few rounds of questioning, Shi Yuan realized that Lu Tinghan was not trustworthy and had to rely on himself, so he focused more on flirting. Lu Tinghan was not in a hurry, he watched Shi Yuan collect flowers that seemed indistinguishable to him, hugged them in his arms, and curled them up on the tip of his tail.

The two stopped and walked along the mountain road.

The terrain on the mountainside is steep, and there are often small trails that have to be passed by. The valley was already under their feet, and Lu Tinghan reminded Shi Yuan from time to time to pay attention to their feet.

That big bouquet of flowers obstructed the vision too much, Shi Yuan said: "I'm not afraid of falling, I will turn into a black mist."

It made sense for Lu Tinghan to think about it, but when he walked through the path, he still held onto Shi Yuan. The mountain road is rugged, they searched for the bluestone bricks in the past and walked up, and collected the shimmering sea of ​​snow and flowers in front of them.

Shi Yuan suddenly stopped, staring fixedly ahead.

In the blue forest, there is a dark brown deer.

At first glance it looks indistinguishable from a normal deer. The sun is spreading on its fur, its eyes are black, and it has a pair of beautiful antlers, and it is concentrating on eating tender tree buds.

Shi Yuan stared at it.

This is a young and beautiful deer. He wanted to approach slowly, but accidentally stepped on a dead branch—

"Crack!"

There was a small sound. The stag looked up abruptly, and saw that its other cheek was boned, and its eye sockets were empty. When it saw Shi Yuan, it quickly turned around and ran away.

"Hey wait!" Shi Yuan shouted.

He chased after him, and at this moment the mountain wind blew, so bitter that it shook his body. Shi Yuan couldn't hold him firmly, the flower cluster was blown away, and in an instant, the mountains and plains were filled with flowers swirling with the wind.

"Ah." Shi Yuan said.

He stopped to look at the flying flowers in the valley.

Some flowers float towards the way they came from, and some flowers sway towards the top of the mountain.

Lu Tinghan quickly rubbed his head, and comforted him: "There are so many flowers, just pick them later."

Shi Yuan said, "Forget it, forget it, no need to snort." He picked up a small bouquet of flowers curled around his tail, "It's enough for me to carry them. But what about that deer, where did it go?"

Lu Tinghan told him: "He went up the mountain."

The two walked and searched.

The brown deer ran not far away, and its figure soon appeared in the forest again, poking its head out to look at the two of them.

Shi Yuan approached cautiously.

Lu Tinghan stood where he was, watching Shi Yuan walk towards the stag. He couldn't see Shi Yuan's expression clearly, but only saw the soft profile of the boy.

Facing monsters, Shi Yuan has always been soft and calm.

The same is true now.

However, at this moment, Lu Tinghan had an indescribable feeling that Shi Yuan was still Shi Yuan, and something was different.

The stag was a little nervous, but stopped running away and stood still and scratched its hooves.

Shi Yuan said: "Don't be afraid, I'm just here to play with you." Without taking his eyes off, he slowly reached out to the stag—that half of the cheek was covered with cold white bones, and he didn't care, and covered it with his slender fingers.

"If you feel lonely, you can tell me your story," he said.

The Bucks paused for a few seconds.

It looked at Shi Yuan with one clear eye, finally poked its head out, and rubbed against him lightly, making him smile: "Your hair makes me itchy hahahaha, stop licking me, stop licking me."

Lu Tinghan watched this scene quietly.

When Shi Yuan walked back, he already had a new friend:

The stag followed them from a distance, with half body strong and half bone, a bright yellow bird resting on the antlers.

The further you go to the top of the mountain, the more monsters there are in the woods. Shi Yuan also has more and more friends, such as a mink with many legs, a pure white hedgehog, a translucent dragonfly and creatures between squirrels and foxes...

The monsters formed a small team and followed them mightily.

They went to the top of the mountain together.

The vegetation is too lush, and the mountain trails are completely lost. Fortunately, it is only tens of meters away from the top of the mountain.

Another steep slope, Lu Tinghan walked in front, pulling Shi Yuan.

After climbing over many gravels and soil slopes, and climbing up the last hurdle, the eyes suddenly opened up——

The mountain wind howled.

Peaks, valleys, seas of flowers and streams are all under their feet. There is no mountain village, and at the end of the road is a half-turned pavilion covered with wild flowers and weeds.

Shi Yuan asked, "What is this thing used for?"

"It should be for climbers to rest and enjoy the scenery." Lu Tinghan looked at the pavilion, "In the past, some people took 'mountain climbing' as their hobby."

"Okay." Shi Yuan approached, trying to imagine the original appearance of the pavilion from the half of the ruins, "...Hey, what is that?"

There is a towering stone wall at the southwest corner of the pavilion, and the part where the stone wall connects to the pavilion is surrounded by a wall.

Now the wall has collapsed and only rubble is left, and the small building in the middle is still there.

It's in a depression in the stone wall...or rather, it's chiseled out of the stone wall. It looks like a small pavilion, with badly worn relief patterns, a base and raised niches.

Lu Tinghan examined it for a few seconds before replying, "It's a shrine."

"Sacred shrine?" This is a very unfamiliar word, Shi Yuan said it a few times, and asked, "What does a shrine do?"

"It's for the gods. I told you some people have faith."

"Well, I remember." Shi Yuan looked carefully at the shrine, "Then what **** is this shrine worshiping?"

"I can't see it." Lu Tinghan said, "There should be a statue of an immortal in the middle of the niche, but now that the statue is gone, no one knows who was enshrined here." He paused, "Maybe it's the mountain **** here. "

Shi Yuan asked again: "Is there really a mountain god?"

Lu Tinghan smiled: "Shi Yuan, I don't know."

"Okay." Shi Yuan stared at the shrine for a while, "If there really is a mountain god, then no one has come to see him for many years."

He thought for a moment, and put all the flowers in his hand into the shrine.

The shrine was dilapidated and nearly collapsed, and even the gods who once lodged here were gone. When flowers bloom into it, it is like a dead tree blooming in spring, and it is full of vitality in an instant.

A gust of wind blows from afar, like mountains whispering.

The place where the pavilion could sit collapsed, and the two sat on the ground in front of the shrine, overlooking the mountains and rivers.

The monsters who followed them also came, and the birds and beasts gathered around Shi Yuan quietly.

A fluffy red fox leaned forward, courageously, and lightly rubbed Shi Yuan's hand. Shi Yuan picked it up, stroked its thick and fiery fur, and smiled with his eyes bent.

Lu Tinghan accidentally turned his head, and saw many monsters surrounding Shi Yuan.

— Just like that day in the sea, the sky and the earth, the Time Abyss is the only existence they need to look up to.

Shi Yuan hugged the red fox, the stag and the wolf crouched beside him, and the dragonfly and the munia flew together. Behind him, the mountains are like Daisy, and the dilapidated shrine is blooming with beautiful flowers, swaying in the clear wind.

Lu Tinghan watched silently.

He remembered that Shiyuan told him that he wanted to go to the bottom of the abyss not for humans, but for monsters.

Lu Tinghan is not a believer in God, so naturally he doesn't know what a mountain **** is. But seeing this situation, he thought, if there really are gods in this cruel and towering world...

That's how it should be.
