"That's... an unimaginable wealth, many monsters want it, but no one has ever discovered it. It's been a long time, and it has become a legend. We are the two poor boys who discovered the legendary treasure..."
…
about a thousand years ago
Zin and Saroye
In the endless swamp, two young monsters were trekking with difficulty. From time to time, monsters opened their muddy mouths from the swamp, and Jin, dressed in a tattered gray cloak, dexterously jumped over their huge teeth. Saroye, on the other hand, was not so polite. He knocked the opponent unconscious. When the beast fainted and floated up from the bottom of the swamp, he walked on the opponent's huge body.
They have been walking in this huge swamp for six days. It takes so long to walk on the feet of these two monsters, which shows how big this swamp is! Before that, they walked in the desert for ten days...
Fortunately, the two monsters are extremely good, with powerful force and incomparably powerful bodies. The monsters here are already very ferocious, but they are even more ferocious. After hunting a monster to eat their stomachs, they can go several days without food.
They didn't bring any luggage. Fortunately, they were Yefar monsters, and the monsters over there had a habit of wearing cloaks.
When it is windy, it can block the wind and sand, when it is raining, it can block the rain, and it can also be used as a bed at night. All the way, the original brand new cloak has become tattered, but fortunately, it is strong enough to continue to use.
Jin is their guide.
Saroye can't tell where they are now, but Jin can clearly determine their current position and the direction they should move forward based on various clues.
After singing a mouthful of the muddy water in the swamp under his feet, Jin scraped a bit of mud from it with dead branches, carefully discerned the color, and said, "This is it."
"Okay!!!!!!" The tall monster standing not far from him immediately became happy.
The next second, the two monsters jumped into the swamp together!
After a long time, with a loud shout, two monsters floated out from the swamp dragging a huge stone.
At the same time, a mouthful of mud was spit out from the mouth, and the two monsters looked at each other, and a burst of laughter broke out from their mouths at the same time.
Jihuan's eyes fell on the shorter monster: It's hard to imagine that the young man who was covered in mud didn't care, and could still laugh after eating so much mud would be Jin.
That's right, that monster is Tsu.
He saw it right away.
It's a bit similar to what it looks like now, but it's completely different. At that time, Jin's skin was not as pale as it is now. Although it was obviously much fairer than his companions, it was a healthy fairness. Although the black eyes were also very mysterious, they were very fair. nimble. His hair is not short, but long!
A high ponytail like Mr. Asimu, but longer than Asimu's hair, probably for ease of movement, the long hair below his neck was all wrapped around his neck.
Generally speaking, it is a monster that is not very particular - Jihuan thought.
But in this way, it's not difficult to understand that the first time he braided the black egg, he did it in a decent manner. It turned out that he also had braids.
Infected by the joy that erupted from the two monsters in front of him, Jihuan's mood also became happy.
even if—
His current situation is a bit strange.
He is dreaming again now.
I don't know if it was because he fell asleep in Ah Jin's story, or when he fell asleep. In short, when he was conscious, he found himself in a place he didn't know at all.
Jihuan was not surprised that this happened every three days.
At first, he was still looking for black eggs, but when he was looking for it, he saw A Jin below, and the red-haired monster he had seen in another dream.
He was immediately attracted by the other party.
Then he was attracted by Ah Jin's smile.
Satisfied, a little proud, it was a very sunny smile.
It's like the smile of Heidan every time he does something for him and waits for praise.
Very, very cute smile.
As if a third party existed beside the two young monsters, Ji Huan stared blankly at the smile on A Jin's face.
But A Jin was A Jin after all, he stopped first,
The muddy hands carefully took out a bag from his arms, opened it, and rolled out a golden ring.
The gemstone inlaid on the ring fell off as soon as it was buckled. Jihuan looked at Ajin and carefully observed the gemstone, and then said:
"That's it. The gem on the ring is exactly the same as the one we pulled up."
"This is the core of the Demon King!"
Early in the morning, Saroye, who took marriage and having a baby as his major goal, bought a ring for the 101st time to propose marriage. With all the money on his body, he bought a ring that was identified as a "fake" by his companion Jin .
In a fit of rage, Saroye ate the ring.
Then something terrible happened: a large amount of blood spurted out of every pore of him, Saroye's skin was torn all in an instant, a heart-piercing howl came out of his mouth, and Saroye fell heavily down.
Jin didn't call a doctor, they were still in the fighting arena at that time, and it was the limit that they could go out for a walk occasionally. They must not go to the hospital and call a doctor. This is very taboo in the fighting arena. The sick monster is thrown out.
Having mastered the simple treatment method, Jin took care of Saroye for a whole day and night. Several times, he almost felt that he was about to lose his only friend, but they all survived tenaciously.
He attended the fighting match for Saroye the next day, and when he came back, what he saw was Saroye, who finally opened his eyes, although it was a bit tattered.
"It doesn't seem to be dead." Saroye clucked his mouth: "It has become stronger."
Because of this sentence, the two of them discovered a secret.
Later, they went to the place where Saroye bought the ring and bought a ring, this time, it was Jin who ate the ring.
Saroye had the exact same reaction on his body. When he got over and opened his eyes, the eyes of the two monsters burst into ecstasy at the same time!
For monsters, nothing interests them more than becoming stronger!
With Jin's savings (← Saroye's are all spent), he bought all the rings of that hawker, and they ate all the rings with half a monster.
Of course, the timing of their eating was strictly controlled by Jin, and they devoured this terrifying "tonic" carefully.
The price to pay is extreme physical pain, but this kind of pain is nothing to these two monsters. The most important thing is to become stronger, and they become stronger little by little.
When eating the ring, Jin did research and finally found that the stone on the ring acts as the tube, and the ring ring is ordinary metal. Since then, he has paid attention to those metals. Leaving a ring uneaten, the two monsters started their journey to find the gemstones on the ring.
This was after they successfully escaped from the arena.
They successively found the purchaser, maker, and material provider of the ring...
It turned out that the gem material of the ring was only discovered by chance, and it came from the stomach bag of a monster, probably eaten by it during its lifetime.
Saroye felt that the future was bleak, but Jin developed a strong interest in the discovery of the two, and after persevering in pursuit, he finally proved that the gem on the ring was actually a "nucleus". Every monster has a nucleus inside, and just a little bit can make them so much better... That "nucleus" must be no trivial matter!
If it is a complete core, that's all, it's not something that little monsters like them can think of, but that core was eaten by the monsters and even scattered on the ring...
"... There's a 90% chance that it's an undiscovered nucleus," Jin said.
The two monsters set off on their journey again.
That is Jin. This monster's biggest hobby is reading and literacy. Although it may be rough, he knows how to distinguish the types of beasts, and how to identify the terrain... He knows a lot of things.
In order to be literate, he has read many books, and even read many fairy tales and legends.
"With such a powerful force, maybe this core belongs to the Demon King." During the arduous journey, he once joked to his companions like this.
"It would be great if so." Saroye smiled heartily.
Although he is not as knowledgeable as his companions, they are good companions. Jin would not have been able to make it through such a long and arduous journey without him.
During the long journey, in addition to dreaming, the two monsters listened to Jin and made various analyses.
"You should be Kukad's half-blood. When you are an adult, your hair will change from red to black. You are a very powerful monster."
They are all orphans without father and mother, Ye Fal's monsters like to analyze themselves, most of them are "hybrid"... Of course, external monsters are more called "hybrid", even so, they still like to study themselves , they'd be happier if they could know that a certain bloodline in them was actually quite remarkable.
"The strength is great! It's simple and direct! I like strength~" Saroye was very happy: "What about you?"
"Me?" The young monster with a ponytail lowered his eyes slightly: "I should be a hybrid of a monster named Chaos."
He looked at the ends of his hair that just fell on his chest: "I will be an adult when my hair can wrap around ten times around my neck and still hang down here."
"Chaos" is a kind of monster hidden in the dark. When they were prototypes, they would be surrounded by black mist. Legend has it that this black mist is the long hair when they were in human form, so every "Zhao" has long hair. Their hair Represents their ability, the greater the ability, the longer the hair.
And don't even think about cutting their hair, their hair is constantly cut. When the hair reaches the specified length, they are an adult "chaos".
"Hahahaha! Your hair must have been heavy when you were an adult!" The red-haired monster Saroye laughed.
In this way, with good wishes, the two-headed and strong monsters finally found this place. The hard work paid off. They found the thing they dreamed of, not a fragment, but a large piece!
"Half one person, one direction per person, and then eat." Dividing the found "nucleus" into two parts, Jin glanced at his companion.
Monsters have a very strong sense of division, even close friends are no exception, such a big "nucleus", what will happen if you eat it... The two monsters don't know, they may even explode and die!
However, they are still reluctant to the opportunity to become stronger at their fingertips.
"If someone dies while eating the core, then his body belongs to the one who survived," Saroye added.
"Well, eat it all, don't waste it." Jin nodded.
According to each side, the two monsters each ate a "core".
The author has something to say: Regarding Jin's practice and the cruelty of this story... The discussion was a bit intense yesterday, and I shared my understanding with you, and reposted it here today:
In fact, I really like to share the feeling when you read the text.
Reading a story is actually the collision of three views between people, between readers and authors.
The younger you are, the more stories you can read, many of which you find interesting.
But the older I get, the more picky I seem to be. Some people say that this is picky about writing. In my opinion (I am also a reader), it is more like a picky about three views.
Only stories that basically match the three views and their own can keep everyone happy to read.
In fact, this story also reflects part of my three views.
I have written silly and sweet love stories, as well as dark horror novels. Many people say that it is not written by one person. In fact, if you look closely, there are many things in common. display of angles.
Basically, I think I'm a very positive person.
But sometimes, I'm also a fan of dark aesthetics.
When I wrote about the original rebirth and the time without the afterlife, I accumulated a lot of negative emotions due to my work. I didn't want this emotion to affect others, so I wrote two quite fairytale stories to appease myself.
About love, about sunshine, the value of life ← Of course, this is a very stinky argument.
All in all, it's a pretty sweet story.
And then here, my mood will change a bit, and I'm not used to writing stories of one type and one emotion for a long time.
This story embodies more of my other hobby: a dark fairy tale
In fact, Xue Wuyi summed it up very well. This is a dark fairy tale full of blood.
The scene of this story is very dark from the beginning, starting with the death of Jihuan's sister, going through a desperate situation, the family is still together, Jihuan has overcome all obstacles that a human being can overcome, and finally came to the present. Regarding Jihuan, this probably tells a story of understanding and strength.
But Ajin's side is not at all.
Granted, the story has a lot of gloom and regret.
For example, the monster that stole the black egg.
But what if he really ate the black egg? Or hurt the black egg
Everyone saw him doing good things, but not the other things he did. Of course, I didn't write it either, he was only a supporting role after all.
I don't really like to call him a supporting role, because for everyone, he is the main character of his life.
So do monsters.
One of his choices made his ending.
For example, Lili, Ajin used him, but he didn't hurt him.
From beginning to end, he just wanted to cover up the existence of Jihuan and get close to Trude. He always refused Trude's suggestion to introduce Lili to him, but Lili let him go. He is a little willful. Monster, he felt that his father had a high position and doted on him, so he let him go. His wayward escape was not due to vigilance, but just escaped to play and was caught, or because of his willfulness.
He enjoyed all the benefits his father brought him, so one day he paid the price for it, and he couldn't blame others.
Another example is red.
Here I suggest everyone to read the following article, because it is not yet time to analyze him, after all, the big red has not yet hung.
As for Xiaohong... He was also spoiled by his father too much, but in this matter, A Jin took advantage of him and used the Lu Lin beside him to lead out Dufay. No one can stop a person who has been treated very cruelly from taking revenge, but he didn't spread his hatred to people who shouldn't be there. Child.
If you think about the fact that he "hijacked" Xiaohong away from the current situation, in fact, for Xiaohong, this is the best end.
To some extent, A Jin took away the little monster who had lost his support and put him in a safe place.
Of course, he wouldn't admit it.
Different decisions can change a person's life.
