The sound of rumbling water gradually got louder and louder from far to near.
A large amount of water vapor entered the car window and brought in a few pink petals. A strange fragrance suddenly filled the car.
Sophia quickly covered the car window with a layer of gauze to prevent the moisture from getting the clothes of the two of them wet.
"What smell is this?" Holding a petal in his palm, Geer leaned in and took a few sips of the scent. He felt that this smell was very special and he had never smelled it before.
"This is Frankenflower, brother." Sophia said softly.
"Frankenflower?" There is no relevant record in Geer's memory, which makes him a little confused. Geer grew up in the Kolbenson Territory, but he never knew the existence of this kind of flower.
"Well, Naen's poetry collection said that this is the most beautiful flower in the north. It only grows on the rock wall beside the Alazo Bridge. It only blooms in late May and early June, and then withers quickly. We are just in time.
When the Frankenflowers are in full bloom, look at that, brother, those are the Franconian trees, and the flowers are floating down from there." Sophia pointed to the cliff outside the tulle and said.
I see.
Geer had not left the territory many times in the past, and he happened to not have passed the Alazo Bridge at this time. In addition, he was not as interested in poetry collections as Sophia, so it would be normal if he did not know.
This peculiar plant made Geer somewhat interested, and he planned to collect some samples to study them when he had time.
Only the dark patch of the cliff could be seen through the gauze. Geer opened the front window of the carriage and said to the driver: "Hull, stop the car."
The carriage stopped, and Gerr opened the door and walked out.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Guledo, who was riding behind, tapped the horse's belly, and the horse quickly took a few steps forward and stopped next to Geer.
"It's nothing, let me take a look." Geer waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
We were already approaching the end of the bridge. As soon as we got out of the carriage, the sound of the waterfall hitting the rocks was amplified several times. Basically, you had to shout to speak, otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear it in this environment.
Walking to the edge of the bridge, Geer looked up at the trees on the cliff that stretched out from the cliff and protruded horizontally. Countless pink Frankenflowers covered the tree crowns. A gust of wind blew by, and the flowers looked like
It fell like raindrops, forming one ribbon after another in the air. Most of them swirled and fell from both sides of the bridge, and a few fell on the bridge.
"What is that?" Geer suddenly saw a monkey-like animal squatting on the edge of the bridge. It was covered in black fur. It was fishing for fallen Frankenflowers in the air with its arms spread out, and stuffing them into its mouth while fishing them back.
.
Sophia, who got out of the car, looked at the animal and shook her head, saying she didn't know. Greedo and Anta said they didn't understand either.
"Master, I know that kind of animal." It was the coachman Hull who spoke. Seeing that Geer turned his gaze to him without any unpleasant expression, he continued to speak loudly: "This is the will-o'-the-wisp living in the deep valley below the Alazo Bridge.
monkey."
"Ghost fire monkey?" Geer smiled with interest and asked Sophia to bring a handful of copper tiffin to Hel.
Hull took the silver coin with a smile and put it away carefully, then told everything he knew: "This kind of will-o'-the-wisp monkey only lives in the deep valley below, and rarely appears outside. I once
After passing the bridge, I saw an adult will-o'-the-wisp monkey, whose fur was all fiery red, and this black one was a juvenile will-o'-the-wisp monkey."
Geer looked at the young will-o'-the-wisp monkey for a while, and the young will-o'-the-wisp monkey also looked at Geer with his head tilted for a while. After a while, he felt bored and continued to grab petals in the air to eat.
"The will-o'-the-wisp monkeys like to eat the petals of Frankenflowers the most. There is a high chance of seeing them at this time of year. They cannot go up to the rock walls where Frankenflowers are located. They can only wait for the flowers to fall down below.
The good spots are probably occupied by other adult will-o'-the-wisp monkeys, and these young ones can only come to the bridge to pick up flowers."
Geer looked up and saw that the rock wall where the Franconian trees were growing did indeed look smooth. Perhaps due to the topography, the wind in this area was rotating like a whirlpool, causing the rain of petals to continuously rotate downwards.
Created a wonderful view.
"Master, don't..." Seeing that Geer wanted to get close to the will-o'-the-wisp monkey, Hel quickly stopped him: "The will-o'-the-wisp monkey will not attack people actively, and it will not pay attention to you if you don't provoke it, but once it makes them angry, their
Their bodies will burst into intense flames, and despite their small bodies, their strength is greater than that of ordinary people."
"Well, I understand, let's keep walking."
Geer picked up a few flowers, put them in a bag, and prepared to get on the carriage to continue the journey.
Bang.
A body bumped into him from the side, causing Geer to stumble.
"Master, I'm sorry, my foot slipped just now." The person who bumped into Ger was Gulledo, who quickly apologized to Ger with his face turning pale.
"It's okay, be careful next time." Geer said it was okay and he wouldn't offend others for it.
After getting on the carriage, with the help of Sophia, he wiped off Ger's hair and clothes that were wet with moisture.
"Gledo, why are you distracted again? You almost hit the young master's carriage. Fortunately, I helped you. Be careful next time..." Anta's rough voice came from outside.
The sound was carried into the car, and it seemed that he was still very "concerned".
Geer ignored what was going on outside, opened the front compartment and ordered to Hull: "Let's go."
The carriage began to move along the bridge, followed by two knights, heading towards the other side of the bridge.
When passing the young will-o'-the-wisp monkey, it suddenly stopped moving and its nose kept twitching. After a while, it suddenly opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a silent roar in the direction where the four of them were going.
Roaring, ferocious like a grimace, and then flew away towards Geer and the others.
…
It takes about ten minutes for the carriage to cross the bridge.
The car with the windows closed was a little dark, and Geer and Sophia chatted wordlessly. Most of the time, Sophia talked and Geer listened.
Well? It's suddenly hot?
When the carriage reached the middle of the bridge, Geer suddenly felt something was wrong, and a feeling of uneasiness followed him. He checked the monitoring module and found that his body temperature had indeed increased than before.
"Brother Geer, I'm a little hot..." Sophia, who was sitting opposite, raised her neck, her cheeks were slightly red, and a drop of sweat visible to the naked eye slid down the graceful neck line.
Something's wrong! The skin temperature is still rising!
The panicked shouts of horses were also heard outside the window.
Geer suddenly opened the window near the bridge, stretched out, crossed the guardrail, and looked down.
"Hell, don't stop! Go at full speed!"
"Establish an environment model immediately, perform data evolution, and assist behavioral decision-making!"
In Geer's loud roar, countless flames under the bottomless bridge quickly climbed up the bridge. The screams and crawling sounds of those ghosts even overwhelmed the sound of water, shooting from all directions under the bridge.
The carriages gathered.
The originally scorching air immediately became scalding hot.
"Drive! Drive! Drive..."
Hull also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately waved his horsewhip desperately to urge the carriage to accelerate forward, while Greedo and Anta also protected the sides of the carriage and accelerated forward.
"Will-o'-the-wisp monkey!"
The carriage suddenly jolted, and Hull's shrill screams entered the carriage through the window.
Through the front window of the carriage, Gal and Sophia saw a red and flaming will-o'-the-wisp monkey jumping on Hel's body, holding Hel's head, its fangs turned out like daggers, and nibbling on it neatly.
Hull's throat.
The sound and image of flesh and bones being torn into pieces impacted the nerves of those present. Sophia covered her mouth and her body shivered, but she still tried hard not to scream.
The flames from the will-o'-the-wisp monkey's body scorched Hel's body, and the scent of meat immediately filled the air. Fortunately, due to the rich water vapor, the carriage, which was mainly made of wood, was not ignited, but it would not be able to sustain it for long.
.
In sight, several more will-o'-the-wisp monkeys rushed forward, while on both sides were Kaledo and Anta roaring loudly. It was obvious that they were also locked in a tough fight.
First, the horse's tail and mane failed to withstand the attack of the flames, and then Hull's clothes. The flames followed the trend and surrounded the horse pulling the cart and Hull in the flames. The hair that they originally had was moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It disappeared, and blisters appeared on the skin like fried food.
"Take off your skirt and follow me closely!"
Geer checked the condition of his equipment in an instant. Fortunately, for some reason, everything was hanging within reach. After a few breaths, he was fully armed and asked Sophia to prepare.
Just waiting for an opportunity!
The opportunity is coming soon.
The horse pulling the cart felt the approaching death in severe pain, and suddenly unleashed all its potential. The speed suddenly increased, pulling the cart forward as fast as lightning, and several will-o'-the-wisp monkeys were suddenly thrown away.
Get out!
That's it now!
Geer opened the car door fiercely and was about to jump out with Sophia.
At this moment, the head of a will-o'-the-wisp monkey stuck out from above the car door and almost hit Geer's head.
Turning sideways, he stabbed the straight knife in his hand in an awkward way, and the tip of the knife instantly pierced the face of the will-o'-the-wisp monkey. After a slight struggle, the will-o'-the-wisp monkey lost its movement, and the flames on its body were immediately extinguished.
After getting rid of the body of the will-o'-the-wisp monkey, when Geer was about to jump out of the car with Sophia again, a violent impact swept through the entire car, causing the two of them to fall back into the car from the door.
In the last second, the crazy horses hit the bridge railing, and the bridge railing broke. The two horses pulling the cart immediately rushed out of the bridge and fell downwards. The original carriage belt moved the frame and connected the belt, which became fatal.
With the weapon, the kinetic energy provided by the horses was completely transferred to the carriage along the belt, pulling the carriage toward the abyss.
Fortunately, the carriage was stuck in the gap. Although it was tilted severely and the front half of the carriage was already hanging in the air, it did not fall all at once. Unfortunately, with the shaky and shattering sound, the carriage may be completely destroyed in the next second.
Time to say goodbye to the bridge deck.
The car door was already under the bridge deck, and there was a gap in the air between it and the bridge edge. However, with the help of the action model, Geer was still able to jump out of the car and grab the bridge edge.
Without any hesitation, Geer rushed out of the car door, jumped out, crossed the distance in the air, and firmly grasped the edge of the bridge with both hands.
Looking back, Sophia looked at Geer timidly from inside the car door, her eyes were heartbreaking. But at this time, Geer had no choice but to jump out first, and that was all he could do.
Just for a moment, the balance of Geer's weight was lost, and the carriage could no longer resist the downward force. It immediately turned down, fell irreversibly towards the bottom of the valley, and quickly moved away from sight...
