Chapter 86 Island Ruins (6)
Keris looked at the high snow mountain, and a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes. He walked towards the snow mountain.
Danica said in surprise: "Corice, don't we need to take a break first?" This island and this snow-capped mountain look very normal. No one knows what risks there will be. If possible, Danica prefers them to take a break first and replenish their abilities. It is best to survey the entire island and climb the mountain.
Corres stopped and said, "No need, we are all professionals. This little bit of hardship is nothing. We can rest assured if we finish the work earlier."
"Oh, okay, listen to you." Danica smiled, and followed Corice with her bag.
At the foot of the mountain is a tropical rainforest. Under the cover of tall trees, the sunlight is almost impossible to penetrate, and at most it can only leave some mottled light and shadow. After many years of accumulation, thick fallen leaves and humus accumulate on the ground, and it is soft when stepped on, giving people a very uneasy feeling. Danica is very careful every step, for fear that she accidentally stepped into the mud, but Coris seemed much more confident. She took a machete, leaned on a wooden stick in her hand, and walked forward with big strides, as if she didn't feel dangerous to the entire forest at all.
This is a magical rainforest. Various plants, whether trees, vine or moss, grow lushly, but they have already penetrated into the woods. Danica still did not find any animal, nor did she hear a bird's cry. This very abnormal situation should attract enough attention and vigilance, but Cores was still not affected at all, and she quickly shuttled through the forest. There was even a lot of Lu Danica almost failed to keep up.
After walking like a marching force for more than two hours, Cures and Danica passed through the rainforest and came to the foot of the mountain.
Danica looked up and said, "We should take a break to replenish our energy." Danica did not speak in an inquiring tone this time, and directly expressed her own opinions.
Cures glanced at her and said, "Okay, let's have something to eat as soon as possible."
Danica no longer paid attention to anything. She sat down on the ground, picked up some dry bread, jerky, etc., stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it for a few times, and then she sent it with the water she brought over, and almost got choked.
When Danica was eating half full, she saw Corice chewing the jerky with her eyes blankly beside her, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Danica handed over the water and said, "Don't worry, we're all here and we'll get what we want soon."
Danica's words woke up Corice. She took the kettle and drank a sip of water, forced a smile, and said, "Hope, I hope this expedition will go smoothly."
Danica said with some concern: "But it's a bit strange. According to you, this ruin was left by a powerful magician, but why haven't we encountered any real dangers or difficulties yet?"
Coris's face was a little stiff. She thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because time has passed so long. Nazu Shadow's active period was 40,000 years ago, and it has been a long time since then. No magic is eternal. Under the erosion of such a long time, even if there is any exquisite magic, it should be almost gone."
"Oh, is that?" Danica answered casually, but she was obviously worried.
Just as Cures and Danica were having a brief rest, they suddenly heard a loud mountain song.
Danica couldn't help but hold her forehead. What's going on? Why did a guy singing folk songs appear on this isolated island without any living things? Isn't this clearly a ghost?
Coris was also stunned by the sudden scene of the folk song. The two girls sat there waiting. After a long time, an old man slowly walked around from the foot of the mountain.
The old man looked fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair and a slightly hunched back, but his steps were quite steady. He wore a rough linen dress and carried a bamboo basket on his back.
Seeing two young girls sitting at the foot of the mountain, the old man was also startled, but he still leaned over and said, "Misses, do you need any help?"
Danica glanced at Coris, not sure what to do. Should she continue the show or take action to kill this guy of unknown origin.
Curris used his eyes to signal Danica not to move. She stood up and asked, "Do you know what strange places are here or any special legends?" Some large relics were difficult to hide from everyone during construction, so many stories will be passed down. Searching for these stories is also a relatively important preparation before exploring the relics.
The old man thought about it and said, "There is no legend, but this mountain is very strange. I have lived here for more than two hundred years, but I have never seen anyone climb halfway up the mountain, let alone climb to the top of the mountain." The lie didn't think about it carefully. If there were no accidents, ordinary people in the human race would be very powerful if they lived to the age of sixty or seventy. If they lived to the age of two hundred, there would probably be only ghosts left except for professionals.
"Oh, that's it." Corris responded and stopped talking.
At this time, Danica suddenly interrupted: "Are you coming out to collect herbs?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "How did you know?"
Danica smiled and said, "I heard it from your folk songs!" In fact, there are no lyrics in the folk songs, nor are they telling any stories. This so-called folk song is just a few words and some loud and high-pitched melodies, mainly to communicate with her companions. After all, once you enter the mountains and forests, you may be blocked by the dense grass forests a few meters away from you, so professions that need to enter the mountains and forests will have their own folk songs to facilitate communication. Danica knew what these folk songs mean when she was in Haka Town. Although the habits in different regions are different, it can be roughly understood. You can guess what his folk songs were talking about just now.
The old man smiled, his face full of wrinkles: "This lady is so amazing. I really went to the mountain to collect herbs."
