Gronn followed the dog king Tuotuo and walked silently in the night. He walked out of the huge circus main tent and passed through a small playground. He quickly came to several temporary tents. , this is the area where the circus servants live and rest.
The dog king Tuotuo made no sound from beginning to end, not even footsteps or breathing, as if he were a ghost dog, but his cold, all-too-human gaze was more effective than any words.
Gron watched the dog king take off his powerful body from behind, and naturally thought about where to cut it to dismember it most conveniently and quickly. As if he felt Gron's thoughts, the dog leading the way Wang Tuotuo suddenly jumped a few steps, turned around and bared his teeth, staring at Gron in front of him with wary and hostile eyes.
Goron didn't care anymore. Anyway, he knew that the more well-trained an animal is, the less likely it is to disobey its owner's orders. What the female leader said just now was obviously "take him to find a place to rest" rather than "find a place to rest". A place that ate him."
Goron ignored the hostile big black dog. He looked at the tent in front of him and said casually: "Should I rest here?"
The dog king whimpered a few times, and finally turned around and blended into the night with suppressed anger.
Gronn shrugged, lowered his body, and got into the tent.
This is a small space. It is stuffy and hot inside. The eyes strengthened by the mysterious power allow Gron to see the situation inside through the dim moonlight. There are several mats spread on the ground, and several people have slept on them. Personally, judging from the height and body shape, he seems to be about the same size as Goron, and does not look like an adult. Because of Goron's arrival, several of them had been awakened. They turned over and glanced at the new member for a few times before turning around and falling asleep. It was obvious that they had no intention of further communicating with Goron. But Goron has also seen their appearance clearly. They are all very young faces, both men and women.
Gronn found an empty mat and lay down on it. There were a lot of dried blood on the corners of the mat, and there was a hideous and transparent blood-stained knife hole in the center. Apparently, his former master had moved to another place to rest permanently. went. There are several mats like this next to it. No wonder Fairy Tale has been so short of manpower recently.
Goron closed his eyes and began to reorganize everything that happened today in his mind. He had successfully blended into the fairy tale's nest. Although the whereabouts of his mother and Hakulili were still unknown, he might be only one step away from them. And after knowing the true strength of his opponents, how to defeat them became a natural chasm in Goron's heart.
Gron couldn't find answers to many questions at all. The only thing he could do was wait for opportunities, wait for opportunities to become stronger, wait for opportunities to save people, and wait for opportunities to regain control of his destiny. Gronn didn't know how long he had to wait, but all he could do was wait.
Gronn is not without any capital. In addition to the bloodline of the ancient demigod Cyclops who has just awakened, Gronn also has the deathbed gift of the Snake Banshee King from another continent. They are two major power systems that are completely different from the Blade Tower Continent—from The magic power of the elemental plane and the third power derived from the faith power of the gods. Although Goron does not yet know how strong this power is, or even how to use it, there is no doubt that he I have been saved several times by this force.
Since this power first awakened in a fight, Goron has tried various methods, trying to explore the mystery of this power, and trying to fully control this power. However, his progress has been very limited. In fact, Goron Apart from feeling that my strength has become stronger, my vision and hearing are sharper, and my body's physical defense seems to be good, there is nothing else. As for the shocking scene of the day when the humpback was incinerated by spitting flames, nothing can be said about it. No matter how much Goron spits out the gall, or repeatedly enters a state of rage, he still cannot spit out even a single word. The smallest Mars.
Although this magical power may be very terrifying, even if it is only half as powerful as the seven twin brothers in the story of the Snake Banshee King in a foreign continent, it is enough for Gronn to overcome all the difficulties that trouble him, but with this temporarily uncontrollable power In comparison, Gronn is still more willing to rely on his ogre bloodline talent and believe in the divine power given by his ancestor, the ancient demigod, the Cyclops Gruul.
He is, after all, an... ogre.
The night was getting darker and darker, and waves of sleepiness bothered Gron. His eyelids were trembling, and the sleepiness could not be contained. Suddenly, Gron pinched his thigh hard, and a burning pain suddenly hit him. His sleepiness dissipated a little more.
Yes, Gronn is now very afraid of sleep. It was from that time when he awakened and killed the old hump wolf that he was troubled by nightmares every night. He would have the exact same dream every night. It was a very strange dream. Goron felt that there were some strange things. To be precise, there were several small snakes swimming crazily in his body. Of course, they did not belong to him. There are caves and passages, so they can only tear Goron's muscles, bite off his nerves, and open up new roads where there were no passages originally, snake roads that can allow them to pass.
Naturally, every time their passage was dug, Gronn would be tortured by the pain of being torn and burst apart in his flesh and blood, and even his soul, which could not be expressed in words at all. On the first night, Goron fell into coma in severe pain, and then woke up from the pain. This pain lasted for a whole night, and then as soon as he fell asleep, those damn little snakes would start a fight in his body. "The hole digging project", and not only did the pain not gradually ease, but each attack was twice as painful as the previous one.
The night before, Goron had been paralyzed on the bed in severe pain all night, without even the strength to move a finger. As for what would happen tonight, Goron could not even imagine.
But there is something strange about it. Ever since he was tortured by this nightmare, Gron has not slept well even for a short while. But as soon as morning comes and the severe pain subsides, he will feel refreshed and full of energy. , without any fatigue or listlessness caused by insomnia. If it hadn't been for the piercing pain that had left a mark on his soul, he would have even thought that the nightmare was just an illusion, and that there would never be another one.
But after several nights of experience, Gron no longer had any illusions. This pain is like a curse that will accompany him all the time, and may only leave him when his life ends. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility on his body, Goron might have ended his life long ago. If he could really save Rafana and Hakulili, the first thing he would do would probably be to understand himself.
If it was just pain, Gron might still have a way. In other words, pure pain would make him feel better. But the problem is that this pain has obviously begun to endanger his life. As the pain intensifies, Judging from the extent, Gron will die in severe pain soon, maybe tomorrow, maybe today. Gron is not afraid of pain, but he is afraid of death. He who has already shouldered such heavy crimes and responsibilities has no fear at all. The right to choose to die.
*************************************************** *************************************************** ******************
Although the severe pain in the thigh can temporarily relieve sleepiness, for a young man who is exhausted physically and mentally from a long day's work, this method will eventually lose its effect. What should come will always come. When Goron's thighs and legs were completely numb by his own pinching, Goron finally fell into a deep sleep.
As always, the scene of that night replayed in Goron's mind. At this time, Goron was no longer in an excited mood. He watched everything calmly, watching every scene with his own eyes from an unrelated perspective, and the smallest The details are firmly in mind.
When the scene was reproduced, the picture in Goron's mind transformed into a lonely void, and it seemed like a dark abyss with nothing. This space gave Goron a strange feeling of being extremely strange and extremely familiar. This was not the first time he had come here. Goron here has now noticed that this is probably the inside of his body. Immediately afterwards, in a place that was very far away but seemed very close, several small snake-like lights came winding up. Now that he knew what would happen next, Goron had the time and mood to carefully observe these "snakes of light". "Come.
one two three four five six seven!
They had different colors. There were seven little snakes of light in seven colors. They began to scurry around and open holes in Goron's body without mercy. The severe pain made Goron unbearable, and he almost lost his ability to think normally. . But he couldn't even lose consciousness and use the deepest coma to escape the pain, because the more painful he was, the more conscious he became.
Experience told Gron that the only way he could relieve the severe pain that could directly lead to death was to divert his attention. Like, take a closer look at what these little things are that keep tormenting him.
If it weren't for the unbelievable pain caused by these rainbow-like strange snakes slithering inside Goron's body, Goron would even find these little snakes a bit cute.
Red... Orange... Yellow... Green... Cyan... Blue... Purple...
The seven colors, the colors of the rainbow, are the same as the representative colors of the seven sons of the earth who were born from the fruits of the vines in the story of the demon king of the alien continent and the beautiful snake. In fact, Goron had long suspected that these seven little snakes and the The death gift of a beautiful snake was related to him, but it still did not help him relieve his pain and gain strength. These seven little snakes were not under his control at all, and their behavior of drilling holes and clearing paths only brought endless pain to Gron. Pain and suffering.
But this time it seems to be different. These seven little snakes were originally running rampant and unscrupulous in Goron's body, but this time Goron noticed that no matter which snake it was, every time it traveled to a special location Sometimes it gets a little weird.
In the past, the passages drilled out by these little snakes would re-close soon after they passed through, and other little snakes would have to drill out the passages again when they passed through again. It was like a wound that had just begun to heal being forcibly torn open from the wound. Same as before, this is also the root cause of Goron's pain gradually deepening. But this time, these little snakes seemed to be particularly smooth when passing through a certain area, with almost no effort. The pain suffered by Goron was naturally much relieved, but what is really important is that after the little snake passed this time, that The excavated tunnel was not completely closed, or in other words, the closing speed slowed down significantly. When another small snake passed through, although the pain was still there, it was obviously relieved a little, and with the increase in the number of small snakes passing through , the closing speed of this tunnel was obviously slower and slower, and when all seven colorful snakes passed through a certain tunnel several times, the small area they passed through obviously began to stabilize.
For Gron, this was a ray of light in the darkness and his entire hope of escaping torture. So Gron began to think hard about why this situation occurred and what was different about this small area. However, in this darkness, Gron could not tell the difference between south, east, west, front, back, left, and right. Apart from vaguely feeling that this darkness was his body, Gron knew nothing at all.
Then you can only think in another way, what happened to you today and yesterday, what changes have there been
Left wrist~~~!
It’s the left wrist~~~!
Goron suddenly remembered that today when he was fighting with the group of drunkards at Sleeping Giant Wine, one of them used a broken wine bottle to make a long bloody cut on Goron's left wrist. Although the wound was very shallow, it was just a scratch. The skin was damaged, and there was not much blood. However, when Goron started cleaning the animal pen, in order to prevent the wound from being infected by dirt, he took out the lower body snake that was suspected to be the snake used by the little centaur and the banshee king from his luggage. A leather wristband was worn on his left wrist.
This wristband is light, thin, and crystal clear. It has a light cyan color when held in the hand, but the color is similar to the skin color when worn on the wrist. Only the faint scale pattern is visible. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see it on Golon's wrist. Brought a piece of equipment.
There was doubt in my heart, and suddenly, a warm and comfortable feeling came from this mysterious area. This warmth blew away the painful night like a spring breeze. And Gron actually felt the existence of his left wrist in this infinite dark world...
