"I still want to hear stories..."
The young princess, Her Royal Highness, was looking at her mother on the bed, coquettishly saying that she wanted to continue listening to her mother's storytelling... The little princess really felt that her mother was the best storyteller in the world.
The queen mother's story is always so novel and interesting... It is a novel story that she has never heard from the servants of the palace.
Moreover, the story is always endless.
"Then what story does Yamalana want to hear?" The gentle queen mother gently kissed the little princess on the cheek, and said in a low voice: "If Yamalana sleeps well, the queen mother will tell you tomorrow."
The little princess said: "I want to hear the story of the mermaid princess."
"good."
Her queen mother is really gentle... The little princess hugged the pillow contentedly, and fell into a deep sleep—in her sleep, she felt as if she had really turned into a mermaid swimming in the sea.
But she has never seen the sea... Let alone the sea, even small rivers are rare in the desert. I heard that there is an underground underground river in the city of the sun. The daily drinking water of the people in the city is extracted from the underground underground river. from.
But the little princess has a very good imagination. She imagined the river to be infinitely vast, which seems to be what the sea looks like... If you swim in the sea, it must be very cool, right
Just like when it was raining that day, the water droplets above the sky gently wet her face, the moist and cool feeling was still fresh in the memory of the little princess.
tick...
Well, the wet rain fell on the cheeks.
tick...
Cool and cool.
Tick... tick.
She woke up from that free and beautiful dream, and what her small eyes saw was a shadow lying in front of her... There was a familiar fragrance—her mother's fragrance, and even her mother's clothes.
It's just that the clothes had been torn early—she saw a [thing] that was much bigger than the former queen mother.
Hair that looked like algae, split eyelids, and pupils that turned like spirals... fingers like dead branches—and a nose.
A very long nose, like an elephant's nose, and a gray-black face.
The little princess's eyes widened suddenly, and her mouth was opened wide due to the terrifying fright—seeing that the little princess was about to let out a cry of panic, the thing in front of her suddenly covered the little princess's mouth with her withered palm.
Its other hand pinched the little princess' neck at the same time.
The teeth on the split mouth are like sharp sawtooth, and viscous saliva is flowing out from between these sharp teeth... The little princess' bed, the ceiling of the whole bedroom has been covered with white silk threads at some point. .
It's a web... a spider's web!
It's the smell of the queen... It vaguely looks like the face of the queen, except that the nose is very long, very long, like a monster—but only half of it looks like a human body, and the other half looks like a huge spider.
The great fear made the little princess tremble and tremble all of a sudden, tears rolled in her eyes, but the monster with a huge human spider body that was pressing her opened forcefully at this time, full of sharp teeth mouth.
It looks like it wants to eat the little princess.
"I told you to sleep well, why didn't you listen... Yamanlana, so the queen mother won't be able to tell you stories tomorrow."
The queen mother's voice, the queen mother's voice became very sharp, very strange... accompanied by the sound of laughter.
Empress, how could empress become like this... This may be a nightmare, she really wanted to wake up—but she couldn't, the neck being strangled made her breathing extremely difficult.
Then, a shrill sound sounded... Immediately afterwards, a sharp knife pierced through the body of the spider-body monster with a human body from behind, and chopped off its head.
Blood is falling like rain... It should be, but what falls is the most familiar thing for people living in the desert: sand!
Its head turned into sand, its body suddenly became what the sand made of sand, and then spread out... everything turned into sand.
The little princess didn't dare to speak, and sat up curled up... In the pile of sand, she looked at something strangely and fearfully—looking at the owner of the knife that killed the monster.
"Father..."
She saw the man who was closest to her—the man was silent at this moment, his face was pale, and he looked at the little princess curled up on the bed impartially.
"Forget everything that happened tonight, Yamalana. Your mother has died of illness, Yamalana." The man stabbed the knife into the floor hard, and hugged the little princess with one hand, "Remember , you just had a nightmare... sleep, Yamalana."
He hugged her and walked out of the bedroom slowly. He felt her over and over again, it was just a nightmare, and he would wake up soon—when she closed her eyes and fell asleep and woke up again, the nightmare would be gone.
Just a nightmare.
Over and over again.
…
Her Royal Highness was a little unsteady on her feet, and she had to support the wall next to her to relieve her dizziness—the Pharaoh who had turned into an eagle-headed creature slammed into a pillar, and Her Highness knew very well that she was not It is not in good condition than the appearance.
Subconsciously, she touched her neck—it had been pinched by a falcon-headed creature here, so it left a fairly obvious bruise...just like the one when she was a child.
Her Royal Highness clenched her fists and beat the wall hard... She even bit her own lip to clear her mind.
"Flee... run away!! Giant beast, there is a giant beast! The giant beast has invaded the palace!!"
"Where are the guards... where are the guards? Hurry up and protect the Pharaoh!!"
"Notify the temple! Only the white-robed guard can deal with the giant beast!"
"Ah - help... help!"
At this moment, chaos broke out... The sound of screaming made Her Royal Highness slow down all of a sudden—she suddenly followed the place where the sound came from.
That seems to be the location of the research institute I built, giant beast... giant beast
"Could it be?!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't help being startled, at this moment she had vaguely sensed the origin of this giant beast that invaded the palace... Her face couldn't help but change, if that was the case, an unprecedented disaster would usher in the City of the Sun!
But... why did this giant beast wake up—it stands to reason that it should not be able to leave—the cage it was imprisoned in was made of the same material as the gods!
She couldn't ignore the guards and servants who were attacked by giant beasts and were in danger—even if she was pursuing the pharaoh who had turned into a falcon-headed man at this time.
Gritting her teeth, Her Royal Highness had no choice but to rush directly to the place where the screams came from... On the road, there were constantly fleeing palace guards and servants.
"Don't panic! Calm down! Organize the defensive formation... Calm down!!"
The gun was drawn, and the bullet was fired into the night sky. The loud gunshot stopped the fleeing palace guards and servants immediately.
"Pick up everything you can see that can be used as a weapon!" Her Royal Highness waved her hand, "Use this as a defensive fortress, and absolutely don't let the giant beast rush out of this area... whoever, take my token to the palace Notify the crusade army! In the name of Princess Yamalana, allow the crusade army to enter the palace!"
"Princess! It's Her Royal Highness! Her Royal Highness!"
"Yes, with Her Royal Highness here, the giant beast will definitely be repelled!"
"Your Highness, I am ready, I will protect Her Highness to the death!"
They began to become less terrified... Her Royal Highness nodded secretly, and quickly commanded the guards who could see what she could see and who could command at this time, improvised a team and appeared towards the giant beast to the palace area.
"The man with the longest night has not yet arrived... Is the city of the sun about to usher in catastrophe?"
She has not yet reached the area where the giant beast appeared, but Her Royal Highness's heart can't help sinking... because at this time, she will face the most difficult situation since she fought in the past ten years.
"It's really a nightmare..." Her Royal Highness smiled wryly.
Only this time, the man who came with a long knife told her that as long as she fell asleep, everything would be fine when she woke up again.
Soon, Her Royal Highness led the improvised team to the place where the giant beast appeared—the research institute!
It is indeed here... Her Royal Highness's face is extremely ugly!
The research institute she built has been so corrupted that it no longer looks like it used to. The collapsed roof houses countless young scholars who are trying to solve the secrets of giant beasts... That's what she has been doing for a few years. , The team that was gradually formed after hard work in training and teaching, has now been destroyed.
On top of the collapsed rubble, there was a huge shadow...like the most common cobra in the desert.
But it has three huge heads, and at the same time, its body is as thick as four people hugging... On top of its three heads, there is also an extremely hard single horn.
"Everyone, be careful, the liquid spit out by this monster can corrode rocks, so don't touch it!"
At this moment, Her Royal Highness took a deep breath, took a shield from a guard, and then, holding a long knife, walked around behind the criss-crossing giant beast, and pierced the scales of the giant beast's tail with a knife. In the gap between the scales!
This kind of attack method worked, and the entangled giant beast suddenly let out a painful cry.
"Attack! Just like what I did just now... some people are in front of me to attract the attention of the giant beast!" At this time, Her Royal Highness raised the long knife in her hand and said in a vibrating voice: "The son of the kingdom! I am Yamanlana I will give my love to the bravest warrior!"
She strenuously rushed towards the giant beast... The guards were encouraged, and their fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high.
It looked so inspiring, so passionate and intense.
…
It looks so breathtaking, it looks so self-defeating—the temple... some secret room.
Yamanlana silently watched the scene on the screen - the scene where the princess of the kingdom was leading a temporary team to fight against the giant beast in the palace.
This is a very strange viewing experience... She is like an outsider, looking at her bloody struggle at this time.
What I'm looking at is not the past, but the battle that actually happened in the same time and space, in the same place... not far from me.
"I used to fight like this..."
The light and shadow of the screen kept flickering in the closed room, and also flickered on her face... Yamanlana suddenly turned her face away, just in time to see the clothes on the cylindrical platform behind her: the clothes of modern women. Clothes and footwear.
At this moment, the screen flashed, and the high priest appeared in front of Yamalana... The background seemed to be a place she had never seen before, but Yamalana had no time to hesitate, and just avoided it instinctively. The gaze of the High Priest.
Even if this is the gaze seen through the screen.
"Yamalana, haven't you changed your clothes yet?" The high priest's voice was calm... calm but with a slightly faster speed than usual, "You are hesitating... You are disappointing me too much."
"They are fighting, they are fighting the giant beast." Yamalana slowly raised her head, "I...she is leading them to fight the giant beast, I shouldn't just leave like this."
The high priest said indifferently: "There is no need for you, because she is you... She is already there, so there is no need for two identical princesses. We don't have time, there are some unexpected situations, we need to leave this place immediately ... You come to me right away."
As soon as the high priest's voice fell, not far from Yamanlana's eyes, the metal wall split open, and a bright passage appeared.
I only heard the high priest say directly at this time: "I'll wait for you at the door... don't make me wait too long. Yamalana, I love you, I love you more than anyone in this kingdom .”
"What unexpected situation happened?" Yamanlana frowned and said, "Why did this giant beast appear... It should be placed in my research institute... Except me, only you know how to open the mechanism Those learners simply don't have enough knowledge to break the locks of the cage."
"It's not me." The high priest said indifferently: "But I probably know who it is... Now is not the time to talk about this. Fifty or twenty minutes, it's time to open the [door]... So, gather at the [door] in twenty minutes. I have already taken the scales away, and this place will collapse soon... Hurry up!"
The screen flashed, and it returned to the battle scene...Yamalana's face changed slightly at this time, "Libra... the City of the Sun is going to be destroyed?"
Yamalana looked at the bright passage on the wall as if she had suddenly drained her strength, and her thoughts were in a mess.
At this moment, the door at the other side of the room opened automatically and silently... A young man dressed as a palace guard walked in while looking around curiously.
Yamalana watched the young guard enter in disbelief, "You...how are you?"
"Your Highness, so you are here too." The young guard smiled slightly at this moment and said, "I came to this place when I was walking around... It's really amazing."
Ghost... ghosts believe you!
