There is no distinction between day and night, and there are no four seasons. The passage of time inadvertently seems to be stagnant in the underworld, and most areas are in absolute darkness.
Of course, there are also many natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, but after these natural phenomena that can make sounds disappear, the ubiquitous silence becomes a bit unbearable.
This phantom butterfly named Jima was naturally overjoyed when Raymond expressed his willingness to take it with him to find his village.
It's just that it doesn't know the specific location of its village, let alone which direction its village is in the current desert.
Jima only knew that her village was located in a mountain col, and that directly in front of the village was a rapid river dozens of meters wide, and on the other side of the river was a large wetland with many strange underworld plants, and A rather ferocious evil spirit.
This turbulent river that doesn't even have a name not only has fast currents, but there are also extremely strange aquatic ghosts at the bottom of the river.
It's just that because the Phantom Butterflies are extremely poisonous and not worth attacking, the aquatic ghosts in the river will not actively attack the Phantom Butterflies.
Of course, if a certain phantom butterfly with a flooded brain really dives into the bottom of the river, then the aquatic resentful spirit will not mind dragging it into the mud at the bottom of the river and making it become the same kind.
It sounds acceptable, but the sadness in Jima's expression shows that the Phantom Butterfly who has been turned into a companion by the Water Wraith Spirit must not be a minority.
The phantom butterfly Jima was taken by Raymond to return to his village. During its narration, Raymond realized that although it looked bumpy in shape, it was actually still in the juvenile stage of the phantom butterfly. So. Not only is the situation in the underworld unclear, but some of the knowledge about its race is also vague.
"We are still young, not to mention that all this knowledge will be taught when we reach adulthood. Generally speaking, as long as we don't leave the village too far, there won't be any danger..."
Gemma, who was unable to answer many of the questions Raymond asked, looked confident, and after realizing that Raymond had no ill intentions toward her, her strong curiosity also gave Raymond a headache.
Therefore, after giving the order not to ask questions without permission, Raymond was finally cleared up. The reason why Gemma was captured by the resentful spirit of sand, in Raymond's opinion, was purely caused by it.
Because of a bet with her companions, Gemma rowed a boat alone across the river next to the village. On her way back to the river after completing the collection, she encountered the Wraith of Sand. After being knocked unconscious and sealed, she was taken away Go here and become its exclusive bait.
This phantom butterfly, who couldn't remember the situation in the further areas of his village, didn't know where his village was, or even how to communicate with the tribesmen, became a ghost after Raymond took him on the road. Here's where the trouble lies.
What surprised Raymond a little was that the Phantom Butterfly had a special response to various minerals. The Dark Stone that the Siren Clan asked him to collect before was not a particularly precious mineral deposit in the Underworld. The Phantom Butterfly clan is particularly fond of collecting all kinds of ores. The various ores stored in their village are quite abundant!
Therefore, after understanding the situation, Raymond sent Jima back to her village as a shortcut to solve his trip to the underworld.
However, after traveling for two days, after leaving the desert, Raymond found himself in front of a strange desert beach of unknown size.
There are all kinds of strange weathered stones, and after the wind passes through the gaps, they form a sharp roar. After mixing, it is like a low sob.
In Raymond's view, the resentful sand spirit in the desert would not have strayed far away from its base when it captured Jima, so he decisively retreated shortly after entering the deserted beach and walked along the desert.
The junction with the deserted beach began to move westward.
In the short time it took him to enter the deserted beach, he encountered the stone wraith in the deserted beach.
The Stone Wraiths, which have a shape that is almost like a weathered stone, cannot be detected at all until they get close. However, once they get within a hundred meters of them, the Stone Wraiths will immediately erupt.
Dozens of sharp stalagmites are revealed in vain, forming an encirclement and subjecting anyone who enters its territory to a violent attack.
Moreover, this underworld creature that looks like a weathered stone can also emit a sharp noise when it launches an attack, causing errors in the judgment of the attacker.
Of course, these stone wraiths, which were not very powerful, only caused trouble to Raymond at the beginning. After killing two of them, he found a way to identify them, avoiding unnecessary encounters and conflicts.
conflict.
After returning to the juncture between the desert and the wasteland, Raymond began his trek.
The extremely poisonous phantom butterfly Jima knew that she was busy with it, so she gave up her protection and allowed Raymond to place it within the isolation barrier, as if it was tied to a thread.
Following Raymond like a kite, he kept moving forward.
Desert, barren beach, grassland, hills...
Raymond, who kept moving along the edge of the desert where the Stone Wraith was entrenched, finally saw the wetland after a week.
The glimmer of light emitted by the moss-like underworld plants makes the environment extremely erratic. Beside the large and small puddles, there are some low reed-like underworld plants.
But among these underworld plants with slender leaf veins, there are many shadowy black shadows, making the environment extremely gloomy.
Seeing such a landscape, the phantom butterfly Jima became excited and screamed inside the bubble-like isolation barrier.
Gemma's clear and sweet voice caused the dark shadows hidden in the low shadows to suddenly become chaotic and quickly disappear into the darkness. Only the slight sound of water splash made their existence more real.
Raymond, who came around from the hilly area, was moving close to the surface, so after seeing these shadows that could not be detected by his senses, he naturally hovered in mid-air.
But Jima, who shouted in surprise, had a misunderstanding because of this. "Sir, these are just timid water souls. They are the lowest creatures here, don't be afraid..."
The dark-faced Raymond stared at Jima for a moment, and then spoke after feeling fear in its expression. "The problem is that water souls can only be seen visually. Could it be that they have the ability to avoid sensory detection?"
?”
"No, no, they are just like those newborn children, extremely curious about everything..."
After talking about what Da Fei asked, Jima saw that Raymond's expression had relaxed, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and carefully explained. "Any slight attack can destroy them, so even if you want to capture them, you need to find the strongest among them."
Some, and you must be very, very gentle when you take action, otherwise you will die soon if you take it back..."
The more she talked, the more excited Gemma became, while Raymond, who was completely blushing, had nothing to say.
But fortunately, Gemma herself noticed something wrong with Raymond's expression. She lowered her head and twisted her fingers, not daring to continue talking.
Just as Jima shut up, the reed-like underworld plants began to sway slightly again, and in the puddles that had just calmed down, slight ripples appeared on the water, each one blurry.
After the shadows gradually gathered, many dark spots appeared on the water.
Raymond, who had a slight red light shining in his pupils, put the light green lens given by the Siren tribe on his left eye, and then he could see the appearance of these water spirits clearly.
Like larger duckweeds, these water spirits are similar in size but have obvious differences in their body contours. They are like water bubbles with long and slender tails. They can move by relying on the swaying of their tails and the shaking of their bodies.
.
Therefore, Raymond continued to ask Jima, "You still capture these low-level water souls and raise them?"
"Yes, they are very well-behaved and easy to tame before they reach adulthood. Especially after eating the clan's Youxin seeds, they may become barrier spirits..." (To be continued...)
