I nodded and said, "My hometown is far away. There are only flowers and sunshine there, and there are no such scary things."
Jhin looked longingly and asked, "Is there really such a place?"
I said sadly: "Not long ago, my people suddenly decided to leave their hometown and migrate to the north. It was also during this process that I was swept here by the storm."
Jhin gave me a sympathetic look, and I changed the subject and asked, "Does this Thunder Mountain have anything to do with giants?"
"Yes." Jhin's face returned to its previous stern expression and he said, "This Thunder Mountain was created by giants!"
"Created by giants?" I said in disbelief. "Are giants gods? They can actually create such a tall mountain."
"I don't know if they are gods or not. I only know that they are terrifying and evil!" Jhin's tone was filled with hatred. "They have the ability to destroy everything, and in fact, they did exactly that."
"The giant is destroying everything?" I know, this is a new confusion. Facing all these strange things, my nerves seemed numb, and I was not surprised at all.
Jhin pointed into the distance and said, "Do you know why it's called Thunder Mountain?"
I shook my head.
"Because this mountain can move!" Jhin said.
"Can mountains move?" My first reaction was that this was a joke, but Jhin's expression was serious.
Jhin was not surprised by my reaction and said: "Even the people in Ash Town probably don't know. They think that the only terrifying creations of giants are demon volcanoes. In fact, we are the only ones who have seen the power of Thunder Mountain. People in the camp!”
"We have seen with our own eyes the scene when Thunder Mountain moved." Jhin's eyes flashed, recalling the shocking scene, "When it moved, it made a loud noise like thunder, and the world trembled. The giant drove Climbing Leishan Mountain, crushing everything in front of it, leaving a piece of dry, yellow and flat land. Have you seen the land outside the jungle? There should have been a lush and cool world like here. I am always worried "When Thunder Mountain moves again, our camp will no longer exist."
"What does a giant look like?" I tried hard to suppress the curiosity in my heart, because I had a premonition that when I saw a giant, it would be the end of my life. Even so, I still subconsciously voiced this question.
Jhin didn't notice my complicated thoughts and just nodded and said, "Since I decided to tell you the truth, you really should know about the giant."
Jin pointed to the distance, the source of the rising black clouds, and said: "The giants live in that distant castle. They have a cruel temperament, and any life that comes close to them will only be destroyed. They created Thunder Mountain, which can crush They suppress everything around them and expand their castle. And this Thunder Mountain is not their most terrifying creation."
"Is there anything more terrifying than Leishan?" I asked in disbelief.
Jin shook his head feebly, "There are too many, ferocious beasts, demonic volcanoes, and poisonous water! All of these are beyond the power of tiny beings like us."
"Poisonous water?" This is the third time I heard this word today. "What is that?"
Jhin collected his thoughts and then said to me: "Do you know where the residents in the camp come from?"
I thought about it and replied: "I remember, One Eye seemed to have mentioned exile?"
"Yes, they are all sinners exiled from Ash Town!" Jhin said.
I had just left Gray Town. Although I was chased by guards, I had never angered the residents there. In my impression, the residents of Gray Town are peaceful and peaceful, which is completely different from the chaos I saw in the camp. I couldn't help but confirm with Jhin again: "You mean, they were all residents of Ash Town? But their appearance..."
"It turns out they are not like this." Jhin's eyes fell on Thunder Mountain again, "The reason why they became like this is because of the poisonous water! People cannot return to the jungle and can only get water from the black river flowing out of the castle, and the water is With terrible toxicity. The poisonous water distorted their minds and caused strange changes in their bodies. The poisonous water tortured them all the time, but it would not make them die immediately. This made everyone fear and Surrounded by pain, he gradually became crazy."
"This is something more terrifying to the camp than a curse. And all of this is thanks to the giant." Jhin said these words and slowly breathed out. Maybe he hadn't spoken so excitedly for a long time. , his expression showed a hint of exhaustion.
"It turns out that they became like this because of the poisonous water!" I felt more and more terrible about the giants, and asked tentatively: "Isn't there a way to unlock the poisonous water?"
"There is no way." Jhin sighed, "We even thought about attacking the giants and resisting them. But you can't imagine how powerful the giants are. We are as insignificant as gravel to them."
"Gravel?" This is the description used by the priest. It seems that the closer these people are to the truth, the more they feel that life is small, except for giants.
"So, in despair, they transferred their anger to Ash Town, the people who exiled them." Jin Youyou said, "That was not my intention, but I hope they can stop self-destruction, even if they are so ugly and sick, They also have to live. To do this, we can only give them hope of continuing to live, so I agreed to the plan."
"Is it... revenge on Gray Town?" I felt that it was a terrible plan.
"They decided to let the residents of Gray Town also taste the poisonous water. So, they made a huge container to transport the poisonous water to the creek on the edge of Gray Town." Jhin said this. At this time, his expression was particularly solemn.
Such a vicious plan made me take a breath. Thinking that something terrible would happen to Di, a bone-chilling chill spread from my body.
"But because the container is too huge, even if all the camp members are gathered, it will be difficult to move the container. This has delayed the plan, which is exactly what I want." Jhin continued, "In order to prevent them from I came up with the idea of rebuilding a container, and I told everyone that only such a large container can make the poisonous water work. What we need is not a new container, but the last camp member who can just move the container. Before They wanted Di to get involved, but I shied away in the name of monitoring Gray Town. In fact, he did have another mission, but now was not the time to talk about it. Just when I thought everything was going according to plan, given time, I will definitely be able to influence them and make them give up the idea of revenge. However, your appearance has changed everything."
