77, full moon fear eleven
Nan Zhou was the first to find Xiong Man, so he certainly had his reasons.
He stared at the weird webbed hands below the bear man's knees and asked curiously: "Where did your legs...this hands...this legs come from?"
The bear man roared wildly and stretched out his hand to grab Nan Zhou.
But because he couldn't adapt to the weird posture of having his butt and face in the same position, he instinctively stretched his hand forward and waved it around angrily. Instead, he almost hit He Yinchuan, who was not far in front of him.
He Yinchuan's injured arm was severely swollen, but he still refused to be a burden and had to pick up the dagger that fell in the snowdrift.
Nan Zhou picked up his collar, pulled him to his side, and shook his head at him disapprovingly.
He Yinchuan looked at him: "..."
Nan Zhou said concisely and to the point: "It's adjusted."
Immediately, Nan Zhou picked him up and threw He Yinchuan out with one hand.
He threw it in the direction of Zhou Ao.
The throw was quite accurate.
The bandages that regenerated on Zhou Ao's hands quickly wrapped around his waist, and he held He Yinchuan in his arms. The bandages were so tight that they almost caused He Yinchuan's waist injury to relapse on the spot.
The two faced each other, panting rapidly, and both saw in each other's eyes the doubts about the sudden turn of events.
Nanzhou finally found a suitable pronoun.
He put his hands behind his back, walked around the back of the bear man's head, pointed at his legs and said, "Tell me where this thing came from."
How could the bear man ignore it? He grabbed his neck and tried to twist his head straight.
Nanzhou clicked his tongue softly, carefully hid the hand with the chain behind his back, stretched out one hand, walked in a triangle, and pointed at the joints of Xiong Man's arm, which was twice as thick as his own, and slashed horizontally and vertically with two hand knives.
.
Click——click——
After two harsh bone noises, affected by gravity, the bear man's arms hung to both sides at two incredible angles.
Nanzhou had his bones cut into pieces.
He couldn't even hold his head up.
At this time, Zheng Xinghe's head swallowed the flesh and blood of his enemy's shoulder in one gulp, held it deep in his mouth, opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, jumped up again, and bit the nose of the angry bear man.
!
This is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body.
The bear man roared in pain, unable to bear the pain anymore, he fell and fell into the snowdrift, rolling around hard!
Nan Zhou made a move in the chaos, stepped on Xiong Man's rolling knees, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to pull off the webbed hand that was integrated with his flesh and blood with one hand!
He grabbed the end of the forearm of his webbed hand in a tickling manner, and said politely to the crazy and vengeful head: "Busy."
Suddenly freed, the hard webbed hands immediately rolled around to escape.
After being integrated with this body for a long time, it naturally has independent activity.
But Nan Zhou knelt down, without hesitation at all, with a cold face, holding the half of his forearm, and violently slapped a black rock covered with centuries-old permafrost.
This hand is not original, it is imported.
Obviously he knows the pain.
After being hit so violently by Nan Zhou, it could no longer move, and its broken fingertips twitched slightly, looking extremely miserable.
It probably just wanted to lose its convenient joints, and it couldn't even turn around and scratch Nan Zhou.
After putting it away in a storm, Nanzhou looked at it curiously for a while, then carried it upside down and walked towards the other two monsters who were being beaten.
The hammer man, Captain Lu, was being kneeled down with one leg on his throat, and the other foot was kicking him wildly on the back of the head, turning his face into a bloody gourd.
The eyes of the gecko man, Brother Yuan, were even pinched into the shape of a frog. The little blood left in his body was concentrated in his eyes, and he was pinched to the point of bleeding.
Zheng Xinghe successfully surrounded most of the opponent's team by himself.
The only one who was not besieged by Zheng Xinghe was the half-length woman who faced the sudden change and could only crawl to the ground viciously. She wanted to retreat but did not dare to retreat. She could only maintain her offensive posture and let out meaningless roars.
.
Until a pair of legs wrapped in a carrot shape stood behind the upper body.
It knelt down on one knee behind its broken upper body with some sadness.
The half-length woman noticed something behind her and looked at the thing behind her with half-broken eye full of malice.
Then, she suddenly froze.
Although she had never seen her legs when they were separated from her, the half-length woman still recognized who these legs once belonged to.
Jiang Fang walked to a place parallel to his legs, knelt down on one knee and whispered a few words into her tattered ears.
The half-length woman suddenly looked back, her damaged face pointed at the man with the hammer closest to her, Team Lu.
She opened her broken palate in vain and asked silently:
You guys, ate me?!
Didn’t you say you wanted to treat my leg?
What exactly was the "venison" you gave me to eat before I died?
She couldn't ask the question.
Her tongue was also cut out.
I don’t know if it was to secretly eat an extra bite of meat, or to prevent her from being able to ask Zheng Xinghe, who also lived in the snowy mountains, about the truth about that year.
The man with the hammer who was caught in the scandal was suppressed by his legs and could not move. He screamed "Ahhh" twice, as if he was trying to explain something.
But the half-length woman had already read something from his slightly evasive eyes.
She moved her missing limbs and pounced on him!
In the blink of an eye, she was like a crazy female beast, biting each other with the hammer man.
The sounds of flesh and blood flying, screams, teeth chewing each other, and the sounds of attacks are endless.
On the snow slope, a piece of snow was dyed red and black, and gradually spread outward.
Over there, Zheng Xinghe’s head bit down on Brother Li’s throat, biting down hard——
Click.
The bear-like tall man who repaid kindness with hatred finally died in Xueye after a mournful cry.
After the chaotic battle, the plain was littered with corpses.
The only one who is still alive is the gecko man Yuan Ge.
When he had only a glimmer of breath left, he vaguely saw a figure walking up to him and patting the hands that were strangling his neck.
The next moment, surges of oxygen surged into his lungs.
Nan Zhou patted the gecko man's face with the hand that was frightened by him, then raised his hand in front of him and asked softly: "What is this?"
The gecko man was so frightened that he lay humbly on the ground, panting violently like a dog.
Nanzhou: "One."
Gecko Man: "..."
He did not dare to delay any longer and said hurriedly: "Other climbers stayed behind!"
Nan Zhou: "How many other mountaineers have been here?"
"No... I don't know..." Gecko Man said, "More than 20 or 30..."
Nanzhou glanced at the hands that obviously did not belong to normal humans: "What did you do to them?"
The gecko man said intermittently: "I'm just not allowed to go up the mountain... Also, Brother Li, if you don't have legs, use their legs to make legs..."
Nanzhou: "Why not let me go up the mountain?"
When talking about going up the mountain, the gecko man's eyes became confused: "There is - there is - on the mountain."
Nanzhou: "I know, you said that there is a moon god."
Nan Zhou: “What is ‘Moon God’ again?”
The gecko man was speechless.
There was unconcealable fear in his eyes, and his legs were shaking faintly: "Man-eater, Moon God——"
"There is no Luna."
Nan Zhou's cold voice was somewhat broken by the cold wind, but it was still clearly audible.
"There was never a moon god."
"There is no legend of the moon god in this mountain."
"You have always been the only ones who cannibalize people. The Moon God is just a monster you made up."
"What you can't face, what you want to stop others from climbing up the mountain to explore, is never the moon god, but the footsteps of others discovering the truth."
"What you fear is always what you have done."
Because of this, their behavior is so contradictory.
They guarded the edge of the mountaineering where they made a big mistake, and while frightening people who wanted to climb the mountain with the legend of the Moon God's Food Festival, they also chased, slaughtered, and ate the people who tried to climb the mountain.
They not only believed in the "Moon God", but they also refused to send sacrifices to the "Moon God".
They were both afraid of Zheng Xinghe's camp and did not dare to approach it easily.
Therefore, according to their state of mind, the system created a mountain climbing competition for them.
They tried every means and kept a close watch, forcing the climbers to take circuitous paths up the mountain that were easier to hide in, so that they could avoid Zheng Xinghe's camp, which was built in Pingshun.
Even if the opponent wins, it will only be based on sheer physical strength.
People who are exhausted have no time to dig out the truth.
The most ridiculous thing is that as time goes by, they themselves believe the lies they have spun.
What they are really afraid of is the ugly and dirty reality that is very close to the moon and related to them.
The reason Nanzhou figured it out was because on the way here, Zheng Xinghe looked at the sky and sighed.
"The moon will always be this big."
"As old as the day I was eaten."
Even when the golden sun is steaming, the moon still leaves a faint shadow hanging in the sky.
Like an eye that sees the truth, looking straight at the world without mercy.
…
The gecko man opened his eyes wide.
He denied sharply and panicked: "No! No!"
"It's the moon god who eats people! There really is one on the mountain! Really - you believe us -"
After Nan Zhou asked what he wanted to ask, he stood up quietly without saying anything more and made way for Zheng Xinghe's arms.
Jiang Fang even made a gentle "please" gesture.
Seeing that something was wrong, the gecko man screamed and begged: "You can't kill me! I've said everything I need to say! I helped you! I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now!!"
Zheng Xinghe is the same kind of monster as them!
He will really kill him!
Nan Zhou turned around.
The sharp wind carrying fine particles of snow blew his slightly curly mid-length black hair forward.
Nanzhou rolled his beautiful eyes, thinking about how to respond to the gecko man's plaintive plea.
At the end, he solemnly said: "...thank you?"
Gecko Man: "..."
After being polite, Nanzhou patted Zheng Xinghe's hands, which were ready to go and had tensed up muscles.
Zheng Xinghe's arm was like an arrow from the string, and he suddenly rushed forward——
…
Lu Bifang helped Liang Shu stand up.
A moment ago he was in despair, but in the blink of an eye he was alive.
Lu Bifang was still a little confused for a moment: "Sister, are we...saved?"
Liang Shu wiped the snow foam from the corner of his mouth, stared at Nanzhou, and said with a thoughtful smile: "Yes, we were saved by the person we were trying to protect. We are not very competent at our job."
Zheng Xinghe's various organs bounced together and formed a basic organization.
Nanzhou pulled him over and introduced him seriously: "Zheng Xinghe, a student of Agricultural University."
Seeing so many people at once, he almost shyly opened his mouth stained with black and red blood and whispered: "Hello."
He Yinchuan: "..."
He Yinchuan: "Ah, cough, okay, hello."
While the others were speechless and choked, Nanzhou spoke to Zheng Xinghe with a normal expression: "What are your plans?"
Zheng Xinghe: "I...go back."
Nan Zhou turned to ask Jiang Fang: "How long do we have until the dungeon mission ends?"
Jiang Fang looked at his watch: "Two hours."
Nanzhou: "Yeah."
Nanzhou turned to Zheng Xinghe again: "Let's go up the mountain together."
Zheng Xinghe was stunned.
He opened his stiff and blue mouth and uttered a confused monosyllable: "...ah?"
Nanzhou: "Yeah. Let's go up the mountain together."
Sister Peng, a half-length woman, did not go with them.
She was quietly carried by those legs and disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
The other people who were still in shock exchanged glances and agreed to Nan Zhou's proposal.
So, Nan Zhou led a zombie and slowly walked up to the high ground.
The strands of light caught on his fingertips turned into dazzling golden threads under the sunlight.
Nanzhou and Jiangfang led Zheng Xinghe at the front.
"Bronze" followed behind with Li Yinhang.
He Yinchuan calmed down and began to tease Zhou Ao: "Hey."
Zhou Ao looked back at him.
He Yinchuan: "I usually congratulate the team, but suddenly I called Yinchuan, and it sounded really nice."
Zhou Ao: "..."
He Yinchuan: "Scream again."
Zhou Ao turned around and retorted calmly: "Childish."
He Yinchuan: "..."
Zhou Ao rarely choked He Yinchuan.
But he also knew that He Yinchuan changed the topic to avoid talking about something.
The almost inhuman combat power that Nanzhou showed just now was completely different from his weak performance at the beginning.
This actually confirmed Lin Zhisong's previously seemingly absurd intuitive judgment.
——He is indeed... quite suspicious.
But Nan Zhou saved their lives.
Therefore, they, who had just been rescued, lost their questioning stance.
Lin Zhisong, who had been expressing his doubts fiercely, maintained absolute silence at this time.
No one knows what he is thinking.
Nan Zhou tilted his head and spoke to Zheng Xinghe: "In the end, none of you were able to get out of the snow-capped mountains."
Zheng Xinghe: "Yeah."
He can see it.
Even after eating their flesh and blood, none of them waited for rescue.
At the same time, Liang Shu was also behind the team, explaining softly to others: "It's probably because of prions."
"Cannibalism will spread such a virus."
"The final manifestation is functional brain disorder, and the brain tissue will become sponge-like with holes."
"Each of them ate human flesh...probably because of this, they became the same monster."
As for the legs, since they are separated from the upper body, their shape and "personality" are somewhat different from those of other monsters. They are always in a state of having no muscles when eaten.
Nan Zhou continued to ask Zheng Xinghe: "They don't want climbers to go up and have a chance to find you. But there are always other climbers, right?"
"Yes." Zheng Xinghe nodded as expected, "But when they see me, they will either attack me or flee."
He said: "As long as it doesn't hurt me, I won't chase you. It won't be very far anyway."
Nan Zhou raised the frog-like webbed hand and waved it towards Zheng Xinghe.
Zheng Xinghe nodded: "Yes. Some are human, and some are not very human."
Nanzhou asked again: "In your opinion, how long has it been since this copy?"
This problem is not difficult for Zheng Xinghe.
"Once the moon rises, I draw a line." He murmured, "It's happened... more than 1,200 times."
Three years.
Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang exchanged glances.
This copy is sustainable.
But as far as they know, so far, the more than 10,000 players of "Gravity" have never played two identical copies.
This player's arm, which was taken as their own by the dungeon monster, opened a door to new ideas for them.
Behind the door, there seems to be an increasingly bizarre world that grows beyond human imagination.
When the question came to this point, Zheng Xinghe stopped talking.
He remained silent and climbed all the way up.
They all thought that the top of the mountain was still far away from them.
However, their estimate was wrong.
With the compass and an hour and a half of climbing, they soon reached the top of the snow-capped mountains that seemed like the end of the world.
A few people stood on the winding peak among the vast golden flowers.
Speechless for a moment.
He Yinchuan sighed: "The top of the mountain is actually so close?"
Lin Zhisong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Perhaps with the real dungeon character, we can reach the real top of the mountain."
Even when the sun rises, there is still a shadow of the full moon in the sky that looks like a giant eye and refuses to die.
Nanzhou raised his head and looked at the paper-thin moon shadow.
Jiang Fang gently held his hand and asked with a smile: "What do you think is in the moon?"
Nan Zhou was pulled by him: "I don't know. I just know that I don't like the moon."
Jiang Fang said softly: "When I was young, my mother told me that there is a creature called Chang'e in the moon."
"I asked her why Chang'e was up there alone. Wouldn't she be lonely?"
Jiang Fang can still recall the soft sigh of his mother who always regarded love as the highest priority in life: "...Who knows if she will regret it?"
The so-called full moon not only represents the frightening one eye that peeks into secrets, but also represents the regret and remorse that are always difficult to understand.
Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart will be blue every night because of the blue sea and blue sky.
The so-called "full moon fear", the so-called things you don't want to face in life, are just two emotions: fear and regret.
…
Facing the rolling sea of clouds and the endless golden light, Zheng Xinghe was stunned.
"Holy shit." He took a breath of fresh snow wind and said softly, "It's so beautiful."
The snow that fell on his head turned into water and rolled down his face.
Like crystal tears.
His figure shook, and suddenly, his whole body turned into a human-shaped ice and snow, swaying and collapsing, blending into the vast snow-capped mountains.
Nan Zhou wanted to grab his hand, but failed.
Those who devoured him, with endless fear and regret, cowered in a corner of the mountain, suffering slowly and living their lives slowly.
And Zheng Xinghe's wish may just be to go to the mountains.
Chapter completed!
