The space should be huge, but there is not much room for maneuvering against the huge thing in front of us. Generally speaking, just by flapping the wings, if the wings are not injured by the surrounding hard objects, a layer of the rock wall will be scraped off.
The pair of flat wings undulated slightly as if they were breathing, sprinkling fluorescent dots of scale powder from time to time. The scale powder that fell to the ground would be blown again by the breeze caused by the fluctuation of the wings. The whole cave was filled with fluorescent scale powder, making it seem like a dreamlike scene.
In addition, the six legs were firmly grasped on the ground, and the entire huge body was like a stone sculpture, motionless. Only the pair of tentacles on its head swayed left and right, shaking from time to time. But it seemed that it did not It's the cognitive disorder that someone finds most troubling; it couldn't be found before simply because it was hiding underground.
When the cats arrived, the pair of tentacles replaced the eyes and swung downwards, as if looking at the little guests who came to it.
Suddenly, the huge pair of wings vibrated slightly and very quickly, making a sound that echoed in the cave. Walking at the front of the group of cats, the pure white long-haired cat sat down and meowed.
Sure enough, in someone's observation record, a conversation started between one large and one small child.
The white-haired cat said: 'My king, I wish you peace.'
The Demon Moth King responded with fluttering wings and asked: "Guardians, why are you here?"
'King, we have finished wiping out the demons escaping outside. I have also brought warriors who are willing to cross the border to save our people. I am just waiting for your permission, and we can set off immediately.' After the white-haired cat said, Other cats also meowed, as if in agreement.
'There are too many people who are willing to participate. And the sealing barrier will be repaired at any time, and the two sides will be separated by then. If you don't come back in time, you will have no choice but to be left in the abyss. Do you have any awakening?' Demon Moth Wang said.
‘King, we have been prepared for this kind of awakening.’ The pure white long-haired cat lowered its head humbly and expressed the family’s determination. All the cats also made the same movements and expressed the same thoughts.
"Then, this uninvited guest, why did you come to me?"
This is... the lingua franca of Lost Earth!
Not understanding why the king suddenly used human language, the cats looked around confusedly at their companions.
Knowing that he had been exposed rather than being blackmailed, Lin came out of the darkness. At least the other party acted like they wanted to talk to each other, instead of shouting to kill him as soon as they found out.
Carefully crossing the group of surprised cats, he warned himself not to step on any of them. After finally getting closer, Lin greeted him with the etiquette of a magician: "King of the forest? Magician Guybrash Lin Trip." Wood greets you."
"What's your purpose of coming, magician?" the Moth King asked again.
"Your Majesty, am I here to see if I can get the silk threads you spun to spin cocoons when you were in the larval form? It could also be the threads spun by your descendants. If there is no such thing? I will Leave, keep everything here secret, and don’t disturb the peace here. Of course, I won’t take it for free if I have it? But I hope this will be a fair transaction.”
Although I really want to start with a round of flattery, flattery, talk to the other party, and then get down to business. But I can’t figure out which way the other party is going to take? On the other hand, bestiality itself is very good at grasping the speaker’s emotions? Those who are proficient are simply like He brought his own polygraph machine. What if something happened? I'm afraid there would be nothing to talk about later. That's why Lin stated his destination straight to the point.
Naturally, the cats were unhappy with the sudden appearance of someone and the request to talk to them about an unrelated topic. In addition to making sharp meows in protest, some cats even used the common human language of "sour". Warning in a sour tone.
It’s not the first time I’ve been bullied by words, but it’s really the first time I’ve been bullied by a group of cats. Although a person is always proud of having a face as strong as an iron wall, in this situation, he feels a little scalped. numb.
Think about it, this is not on the Internet, but in reality. There are dangerous creatures that are hostile to you in all directions around you. Think about the fact that you were worried about your luck in finding the target during your first ground reconnaissance. Should you? My luck has all been exhausted. Someone’s intuition is that the next development is not good.
Amidst the noisy cat meows, the Demon Moth King suddenly flapped his wings. The wind pressure caused the scale powder scattered on the ground to blow high, and swept the cats, making them all shut their mouths. At this time, the Demon Moth King The Moth King continued to flutter his wings and make sounds, saying in common language: "I do have what you want. But at what price can you pay?"
"Please feel free to ask, Your Majesty. I will try my best to complete whatever I can do. If I can't do it, I will explain the detailed reasons. If possible, please change the conditions."
The pair of tentacles above his head swung back and forth, and the huge king in front of him said: "You heard the conversation just now between me and my guardians. What do you think?"
Is it too late to pretend not to know animal language at this time? Someone regretted it in his heart. But he said: "Your Majesty, can you let me ask a few questions first to see if my understanding is correct."
"Ask."
"Is there a gate to the abyss here?"
"Yes. This is one of the eight abyss gates in the Lost World."
Sure enough, Lin Xu asked: "Is it because it can't be closed for some reason? Or is it because no one went to the other side to help close it?"
"It is impossible for the two worlds to be completely isolated. That would be the same as self-destruction. All I can do is to guard this place so that the residents of the Abyss cannot freely travel between the two places, and also to prevent the residents of the Lost Land from straying into it. .”
This is the first time someone has heard such a statement. It seems that there are still many secrets in this world that he does not know yet. Leaving this aside for the time being, Lin continued to ask: "Then the barrier you mentioned, let me I guess it has something to do with His Majesty."
"Yes, that barrier was set up by me. It was placed on the gate of the abyss, separating the two worlds. But the stability of the barrier will change with my strength. When I am weak, Sometimes, some powerful demons will still attract my attention if they want to pass through, but if they are too weak, they may be ignored by me. So at this time, I have to rely on the guardian family to assist me and maintain the isolation between the two worlds. .”
When talking about the Guardian Clan, the cats raised their heads proudly and flicked their tails.
"Are there people like you in the eight gates?"
"Yes, some are on this side of the door and some are on the other side."
After hearing enough secrets about the world, Lin asked about something that might happen to him. "Then how did that cat get to the other side?"
"Perhaps a demon took advantage of my weakness and found a loophole in the barrier, came to this side, and captured Mao Ni, who might be moving nearby."
Another possibility that the Moth King in front of him didn't mention is that the cat ran over by itself. Anyway, there is no point in worrying about the reason. Lin asked another very realistic question: "What does that cat have?" It’s extremely important, must we save it?”
I originally thought that such a question might arouse the anger of all the cats present. But I didn't expect them to say as if they were used to it: 'If anyone is lost on the other side, go and find it. Do you need any special reason? ?''Don't you often get lost over there?'' Speaking of which, who organized an expedition last time, found a hole in the barrier, and then went to the other side to play.'' By the way, It's not like someone ran to the other side and never found it.'...
Although he didn't know if all the compound eyes of this demon moth king were facing him, Lin had a feeling of being speechless when looking at this big moth. Can't he find a group of more reliable guardians?
Finally, it was the demon moth king who said: "Mao Ni is tentatively the next witch priest. I have taught it how to control the barrier. If it falls into the hands of demons with evil intentions, they can use me to enter reincarnation. During the window period after reincarnation, I destroyed the barrier and invaded the mysterious land. At that time, the guardians alone could not stop the demon army. Moreover, there was not much time left before I could lay the eggs, and I was entering reincarnation. At this stage, to wake me up from the egg, a witch priest is also needed. The current shaman priest is old, and I don’t have time to teach the next one, so there must be preparations."
Listening to this, it is entirely possible that the cat found a loophole in the barrier and ran to the other side... This makes someone feel like they don't want to take on this task.
But now it seems that this Demon Moth King has a serious mission. If you know where the thing in its mouth is, you can just steal it yourself. If you want to follow the method of killing monsters and grabbing treasures, you may run into big problems. If you can’t get something hard, you can only get something soft. So Lin confirmed: “So what does your majesty want me to do, to trade for the silk cocoons I need?”
"Please go to the other side and find Mao Ni. Assuming that Mao Ni is unfortunately killed, please bring back conclusive evidence. As long as you can do any of these two points, I can bring back all my reincarnations. , the remnants of the silk cocoons made by the larvae, I will give you a piece. You must know that when I break out of the cocoon, most of the silk cocoons will be dissolved or eaten by me. Those that can be preserved cannot be eaten by me. The essence of what you destroyed by yourself. Any piece should be at least about the same size as you."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I accept this condition. I just want to ask one more question, why are you looking for me?" Lin asked curiously. Giving out tasks casually is something you only see in RPG games.
The reality in Lost Land is that if you want to obtain a task commission from the Adventurer's Guild or the Mercenary Guild, you must not only prove that you can do it, but also prove that you are a suitable candidate. Otherwise, why would the client trust a stranger casually?
As for how to prove yourself, you actually need to start with small tasks in the guild and continuously accumulate your achievements and reputation. Then as long as the adventurer or mercenary meets the requirements of the client, the guild will act as a guarantor, allowing the adventurer or mercenary to Soldiers are qualified to carry out missions.
Therefore, when this big moth, which has lived for an unknown number of years, met me for the first time, it issued a mission inexplicably. Someone would also be worried that the other party had other intentions.
"If you can hide from them and walk in here, I believe there will be no more suitable candidate than you."
