Although it is an ordinary mountain range, the distant mountains, lush forests, thin waterfalls and springs with scattered jade beads, the clear singing of birds, and the echoes of the empty valleys make it extremely quiet.
Snow is about to fall in the north at this time. Although the yellow fields are exposed here, there is still a small amount of green, which is still like autumn.
The birds and beasts were still busy, but now they were quiet, as if some terrifying entity had entered the mountain and made them hibernate.
The "chirp" of the giant eagle flew in the air, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a gentle "coo" before landing on a rock.
A girl's eyes were blurry, as if she was attracted by something, she jumped down and walked forward along the mountain path.
Although she is a delicate girl, she walks very lightly, as if a strong man would be tired from walking on a mountain road for a long time, but it feels like walking on flat ground under her feet.
It didn't stop until it reached a small waterfall. It was a thin waterfall that hung down from a cliff. The water flowed into a small pool, and then flowed downwards along a shallow stream.
The girl's eyes were like autumn water, quietly staring at the waterfall.
"I don't want to come here, I want to go home, back to the capital." If Su Zi were here, he would have recognized that this girl is Zhou Yao. She is now full of spiritual energy, and she looks completely different from the past, except for her eyes.
blurred.
"However, things have finally come to an end." After lingering for a long time, Zhou Yao finally made up her mind and waved her hand.
"boom"
The waterfall immediately split to the left and right, revealing a dark cave. The water parted, and a cold air rushed out. At first glance, it was no ordinary cave.
Zhou Yao was not afraid at all and continued to go in. As soon as she entered, a gust of evil wind hit her face!
"snort!"
Zhou Yao didn't stop at all and continued to move inward. When the evil wind came to her, it was as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to infect her at all!
"hiss!"
As if being alarmed, with a strange sound, a giant python head suddenly popped out from the depths of the cave. It turned out to be a giant python that was more than ten meters long, but its entire body was colorfully spotted.
Zhou Yao had a conflicting feeling. One feeling was that the thing she hated most in her life was snakes. She extremely hated the slimy, slippery and slender snake bodies, especially the cold and wooden eyes of snakes.
But for some reason, she felt a faint intimacy with it, as if it were her own subject or even a distant relative.
This contradiction arose spontaneously, and Zhou Yao's body trembled slightly, but the giant python seemed to regard this reaction as the fear of its prey, and immediately became excited, as if it had seen a delicacy!
"Poof" because of the excitement, when the giant python jumped out, it hit the cave and scattered the dust!
And from the demonic wind carried by the giant python when attacking, it can be seen that this is no ordinary snake, it looks like a demon.
Because ordinary beasts and little demons would be frightened the moment they saw Zhou Yao, on the contrary, the snake demon became excited when they saw her.
"Zizzi!" The giant python spit out the message. The sound did not come from the snake's mouth, but was directly transmitted to Zhou Yao's mind. It was the sound of eagerness to devour. To it, the person in front of it was full of attraction. It was completely
Innate attraction.
But Zhou Yao didn't care at all, as if this terrifying and ferocious python was just an ordinary little snake in her eyes.
However, its offense suddenly turned the instinctive intimacy into anger, as if facing the offended subjects, it no longer conflicted with Zhou Yao's disgust.
Zhou Yao stopped trembling and raised her eyes coldly: "How dare you!"
With a slight wave of his slender hand, a cold bolt of lightning rose from nothingness. The terrifying snake head opposite him suddenly detached from his body, flew out, and rolled to the ground.
But snakes are the most stubborn. Not only the snake's body is still struggling, but also the snake's head is full of fierce light.
Zhou Yao suddenly remembered the capital city. There was a snake meal in Yi Dian Building. The chef killed the snake. He was very careful and asked to take care of the snake head after half an hour. However, the apprentice was not so vigilant. Maybe it was to show his positive attitude and he took care of it a moment in advance.
The snake's head was cut off in no time, but he was bitten and died from the poison.
It took half an hour for the snake head to lose its activity. Everyone in the old capital knew this. When Zhou Yao thought of this, she felt even more disgusted and moved her hand.
"Poof" the snake's body and head suddenly dried up, but it trembled before it dried up. Sure enough, it was not dead, but now it shriveled up immediately and fell into the dust.
Zhou Yao did not dodge backwards. The dust was blocked by an invisible barrier, but she remained spotless. She sneered.
"How dare a snake that becomes possessed by the dragon's energy to bite you back?"
Looking past the huge snake body, Zhou Yao looked inside. There seemed to be something hidden in the dark and deep cave that attracted her.
With a slight leap, she jumped over the snake's head and flew inward without even touching her feet.
After going straight in, there is a long cave. The middle is not straight, but has a winding route and forks.
Zhou Yao kept going in, about half a mile away, and suddenly a bright view appeared in front of her!
What appeared in front of her were caves the size of palaces. There was clearly a damp and gray atmosphere outside, but when she stepped into this spacious cave, the atmosphere seemed to be blocked by something.
All that's left here is a faint smell of sea.
"Smell of the sea?"
Zhou Yao continued to walk forward, and there was a crystal clear stone bed in a place close to the inside.
There is a girl leaning on the stone bed. The girl is half leaning and half lying. She is wearing a luxurious crown dress and looks like a living girl taking a rest.
But if you look closely, you can see that this is not a real person, but a statue!
She is not human either, because in front of her bun, two grown dragon horns can be clearly seen, which is very obvious!
Zhou Yao slowly walked over, but stopped a long way away.
This statue of a girl with dragon horns is glowing slightly.
This situation is naturally abnormal.
After all, even if this situation is placed in a shrine, it can be regarded as a kind of holy manifestation.
But this is not a shrine, and there is no incense table in front of it. In this cave the size of an empty palace, there is nothing else but this simple stone bed and the statue of the girl sitting on it.
"Did my arrival activate her?"
"No, no, it's in the distance... It seems to be in the direction of the capital?"
This statue of a girl glows slightly, which seems to correspond to the distant capital city. Because it is very delicate and vivid, even if you have guessed that this is not a living person, you still feel that this statue is alive when you look at it. She seems to be just sleeping.
Already.
Zhou Yao did not step forward directly. A sense of crisis made her stop in time. She stood there in silence for a long time. She seemed to wake up a little and looked at the statue of the girl carefully again.
I saw the dragon-horned girl's hand slightly lowered, and she seemed to be holding a letter in her hand?
That letter looks like an ordinary and normal letter. It doesn't look like it was carved. However, the letter is real. Is the person holding the letter really a statue?
Is this really... not a living person? In other words, isn't this really a dragon girl who has fallen into a deep sleep?
Zhou Yao lingered for a long time, then moved forward again, and stopped again about one step away from the dragon-horned girl.
This time, she could see more clearly.
It seems that this dragon-horned girl is really not a statue?
The slightly glowing girl with dragon horns looked like she could open her eyes and wake up at any time.
"What kind of letter is this? Can it explain my doubts?"
