C10 In Order to Return to His Hometown 3

"Rushaka, as I said, he doesn't understand what you're saying. It's not your Grau anymore, it's just a fish, a simple fish."

The big black fish didn't understand the human language. Instead, in the void of the stone castle, the witch's words that she wasn't willing to accept came.

The owner of the voice was the Earth Mother God who doted on the witches. Among the many witches, Lushaka was the most doted on. Because of her. In one sentence, this God turned the entire village into a fish. She didn't care at all.

"No way, Grau must understand what I'm saying. There must be a reason why I don't know why he stopped talking to me"

"Why can't you understand the difference between the person you love and the item you entrust? " Such blind ignorance is truly foolish. "

"If your magic power can help Gru recover, then I wouldn't be like this. I never thought that I would encounter something that even gods can't do anything about"

"What he encountered was an unknown power. The answer to this power is hidden in the hands of the Sky God, not something that I, the god on the ground, can know. If there really is someone else on the ground who knows about this power, then it must be a god floating in the universe ocean"

"Then where is that god?"

[He once rested in the mountain where the savage lived, but now, we can no longer find any trace of him.]

"I'm going to find this god. Maybe he can solve the problem with Gray."

"That's not possible. This god is unpredictable. Even the gods can't catch him. His wisdom is only given to those who are willing to be enlightened. He doesn't care about those who are obsessed with emotions."

"Could it be that just like that, the water and the water will forever be separated from me and Grau? I can't accept it! "I can't accept it!"

"Lushaka, I can't understand your emotions, but I can tell you something else. Someone is coming towards your stone castle. It was an emissary who accepted the requests of the villagers to force you to restore them to their original state. "

"You want me to restore them to their original state? Stop dreaming! " I will not forgive those people who keep hindering me and Grau from returning to their original state! "In the end, if they hadn't instigated Gru, why would he have turned into a fish?"

Why are you so obsessed with these people? It doesn't matter if they're alive or dead, you won't be happy. Their existence has long since left you. Is there a need to throw your heart and soul into this? "

"Gods know everything, only the difficult ones don't understand. Their suffering might not allow me to benefit, but if they don't suffer, then it'll make me angry and unbearable."

"Then what do you plan to do?"

"Nothing. There is a dark forest on this road, and there is a huge wild boar in the forest that can stop him. Even if he can get past the wild boar, there is still a huge statue in front of my stone castle that can stop him. Even if the huge statue can't, there is still the bronze statue. A mere human can never reach this stone castle."

"He has the protection of the Demi, and even if it's difficult, he still has a chance to succeed."

"I don't need to take that small chance to heart. What I need to think about now is how to turn Grau back to his original form."

As the witch left the pool, the God who had not yet shown himself also shifted his gaze. His gaze passed through countless spaces and saw the traces of a man and a bird that had toiled hard on the journey.

"Man, why are you moving forward? Why are you working hard? " And why are you so charismatic? "

The god asked himself, as if announcing the fate of the gods and humans in the future.

Situ Pengcheng was on his way to the witch's residence. He heard that the witches lived in a stone house. This made him very unhappy, because in this era, using stones to build houses required a lot of manpower. So most people lived in small stones, wood, mud, and building materials houses. Only gods could live in stone temples.

Of course, the witches who served the gods could also live there. However, he also heard that there were no gods in the stone temple, and the gods lived outside the temple. This made him even angrier, because it was the complete opposite. No wonder the whole village was turned into fish, and only the witches lived happily.

This meant that in the eyes of this god, people were different from people, and he did not give a different evaluation because of what people did. Instead, he gave an evaluation to people before they acted. Situ Pengcheng thought that it was not good. Situ Pengcheng, who didn't have much of a reaction to the unreasonable actions of the River Valley's god, was angry for the first time. He was angry at the god.

A god's spirit could do whatever it wanted. It could harm humans, kill humans, and even exterminate humans. However, it absolutely couldn't lose its arrogance. If it recognized a race of humans as its own race, then it wouldn't be a god anymore.

With the frustration in his heart, Situ Pengcheng unknowingly walked out of a large forest. The yellow fish had once said that this forest had an extremely large wild boar. He was the king of this place, and his existence made the other beasts not dare to approach him.

With the yellow fish's warning, Situ Pengcheng was naturally very careful. He constantly had the dancing birds report to him from the treetops. He understood that all kinds of monsters were dangerous, especially in the forest.

Suddenly, there was a bird cry. The dancing birds on the treetops began to move. Situ Pengcheng hurriedly climbed up the tree. Following the dancing birds' instructions, he saw a giant wild boar that was even taller than a man and as long as a small boat, rushing over from the other side of the forest.

"Who is hiding on the tree!? Who walked into the territory of Archer and didn't know that they were coming to inform him!?"

The huge wild boar roared wildly on the ground. Its voice resounded through the forest, and the birds and beasts ran away.

"Great Archer, I want to go to the witch's residence, I need to borrow a path from you. I want to ask if you are willing to let me pass?"

Situ Pengcheng hid in the tree and shouted at the giant wild boar, because he didn't know if he would be torn to pieces by the furious wild boar's fangs the moment he stepped on the ground.

"Arachne's territory never allows people to pass through it unless they pay a sufficient price."

"What price do you need?"

"The bird next to you, if you give me that bird and let me have a good meal, I'll let you pass"

"That's impossible, she and I are tied up in the language of the gods, we can't just leave each other"

"Since that's the case, then die!"

The giant wild boar wanted to eat the dancing bird, but how could Situ Pengcheng do as he wished? Along the way, the dancing bird helped him a lot. Even without the restrictions of the gods, they had long since become reliant on each other.

However, when the negotiations broke down, along with the wild boar's furious roar, his massive body also crashed into the large tree Situ Pengcheng was hiding in.

This powerful impact caused the large tree to quickly tilt and fall. Fortunately, Situ Pengcheng, who was on the tree, jumped onto another tree in the nick of time, preventing him from directly facing the giant wild boar.

However, the anger of this king of the forest didn't fade away. He relied on his robust body to chase after Situ Pengcheng, razing all the trees and plants that blocked his path, forcing Situ Pengcheng to jump off the tree and chase after him.

Situ Pengcheng's feet were extremely fast, and he even borrowed the vines to move around. He used the sharp spears he had grinded earlier to throw at the giant wild boar, but this Forest King had thick skin and thick flesh. Even the weapons made from bronze spearheads could only cut through his skin. Moreover, those sharp teeth were comparable to the sharpest swords and sabers. If they were even slightly brushed, blood would flow like rivers, and he would die.

As time passed, Situ Pengcheng's endurance gradually weakened. It was obvious that this King of the Forest was not chasing after him randomly. When Situ Pengcheng attacked, he was also constantly replenishing his physical strength. Naturally, Situ Pengcheng was the first to feel exhausted after such a long period of physical strength.

Finally, Situ Pengcheng was at a disadvantage during the chase. He could only dodge left and right, and was forced onto a towering rock. This rock was enormous and hard, and even the Forest King's fangs couldn't damage it. Moreover, it was extremely steep, and it was absolutely not something a wild boar could climb up.

Like this, although Situ Pengcheng was able to escape with his life, he was unable to descend to the ground. The food on his body could not last more than seven days. After seven days, if he did not die on the rock, then he would die under the King of the Forest's sharp teeth. It was very obvious that he had fallen into a hopeless situation.

Situ Pengcheng was trapped on the towering giant rock. Around the giant rock were the descendants of Archer, a group of incomparably fierce wild boars.

Although these wild boars weren't as large as Archien, their bodies were still very large. When they stood up, they could reach the shoulders of adults. Moreover, there were many of them. If Situ Pengcheng didn't have a detailed plan, he definitely wouldn't want to test the lethality of these wild beasts.

The dancing bird saw that Situ Pengcheng was worried about how to escape this place, so it wanted to find a way to help him. Thus, she spread her wings and flew high into the sky, looking for possible help in every part of the forest.

However, the dancing bird circled in the sky for a while, but there was still no result. This was because she was not a human. She did not understand what humans could do when faced with this kind of predicament.

Suddenly, the dancing bird discovered a person wearing grass clothes sitting next to a bonfire in the forest. The dancing bird decided to ask him what methods he had to help Situ Pengcheng.

Soon, the dancing bird flew closer to the person wearing grass clothes. It discovered that this person was tall and big, and his entire body was covered in grass clothes, making it impossible to see his face.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

"There is actually a bird that I have never seen before in front of me. Do you have anything you want to say?"

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

"Although I can understand beast language, I don't understand bird language. Let me bestow you with the power to communicate with me."

The dancing bird circled around the grass-robed man. However, the grass-robed man could not understand the language of birds, so he cast a spell on the dancing bird to let him understand the meaning of the dancing bird.

"Situ Pengcheng was killed. On the rock, help, help, help."

The clear and melodious bird cries formed a human language, but the appearance was extremely one-sided and primitive. This was the result of the dancing bird not using the human way of thinking to express its meaning in the past.

"Sigh, is the result of using force still the same? Let me see what exactly happened."

As the grass-clothed man spoke, he silently chanted an incantation. In the blink of an eye, Situ Pengcheng's figure appeared in the raging flames.

"So that's how it is. This person was trapped by a wild boar, and you want to help him?"

"Situ Pengcheng, help."

"Then take this with you."

As the grass-robed man spoke, he pointed his finger in the direction of the forest. A branch of a strange tree broke off on its own, and one of the branches with milky white juice automatically flew over and floated in the air.

"Give this branch to him. He will know what to do."

The dancing bird was very happy to hear this, so it used its claws to grab the branch and flew back to Situ Pengcheng's side.

Situ Pengcheng was confused when he saw the branch the dancing bird had picked up. It wasn't because he didn't know what this branch was. On the contrary, he knew that it was a deadly poison. As long as it wasn't even a fingertip's worth, it could kill a hippocampus. Now, there was a branch's worth. Even if a group of wild boars had two more Archientals, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with.

However, Situ Pengcheng didn't plan to use this kind of poison, because he knew that the creatures hunted by humans could only be consumed in quantity. Even if it was to save his life, he couldn't kill too many, or else he would deviate from the path of humans, and he wouldn't have the qualifications to return to the village.

"Thank you very much, but I can't use this kind of method to harm other creatures. Compared to my own life, I have to ensure the dignity of the dead. This is the agreement between our ancestors and all living things since ancient times."

The dancing bird tilted its head and looked at Situ Pengcheng. She was a bird that ate fruits, vegetables, and insects, so she didn't understand what the carnivores were thinking. However, she believed that since Situ Pengcheng didn't plan on using this method to change the method, it would be fine. The eleventh chapter, Dance Bird

Thus, the dancing bird flapped its wings again and went to find the grass-robed person to ask if there were any other methods.

"He actually doesn't want to use poison? What a fool! " But don't worry, I have many ways to deal with it. "

The grass-robed man knew that Situ Pengcheng wouldn't use poison to call him a fool, but he still struck out once more into the trees. In the next moment, the vines that were climbing up the trees began to wrap around each other, and a large net was formed.

"Since he doesn't use poison, then use the net. Give this net to him."

After hearing the grass-clothed man's words, the dancing bird moved the net to Situ Pengcheng's side.

Seeing the net, Situ Pengcheng's feelings were very complicated. It was because he had been chased out of the village because he had made a trap, but now he had to rely on this thing to escape. It was too ironic.

As Situ Pengcheng's mood continuously rose and fell, the sky had already gradually darkened. He started a fire on the rock. Suddenly, he saw a shadow on the stone wall. A new idea gradually surfaced in his mind.

Situ Pengcheng's body was not as large as a wild boar, but he discovered that the shadow reflected on the stone wall was several times larger than his own body. This made him think that if the king of the forest was proud of the size of his body... Could he use this to escape?

Once he had an idea... Situ Pengcheng could no longer stay idle. He began to let the dancing birds collect all kinds of materials. On the towering rocks, he began his plan where the wild pigs could not be seen.

Time quickly passed. On the night after Situ Pengcheng made up his mind, thick black smoke began to rise from the towering rocks and spread in all directions.

Not only did the black smoke swallow the ground, but it also seemed as if it was going to cover the horizon. In the face of this abnormal change in the world, even if the wild boars did not want to avoid it, they had to retreat. Otherwise, they would be choked by the black smoke and their lives would be threatened.

In the middle of the black smoke, a monster that was so tall that it could touch the clouds stretched its head out. In the dark night, its two burning eyes looked exceptionally terrifying, scaring away most of the creatures in the forest.

Following that, all sorts of strange phenomena occurred. A loud and clear cry that could be heard in every corner of the forest came out of the monster's mouth. The huge monster slowly walked down from the towering giant rock. Its huge body was hidden in the black smoke, and every step it took was like thunder.

"What's going on? Who passed through Archer's territory and didn't come to inform us? "

The huge Wild Boar King Archer stuck his head out from the forest, but when he saw the monster that was several times bigger than him, he couldn't help but take a step back.

"I am an emissary appointed by the Demi to go to the witch's residence. A small creature, are you going to hinder my progress?"

As the monster spoke, it spat out a burning flame from its mouth, making Archer run for his life.

"No one will stop the Demis. If you want to move forward, then go ahead. I can guarantee that no one in the forest will stop you from moving forward."

"Very well, you'll lead the way for me"

"Of course, serving the Demi's messenger is exactly what I wish for"

Under the lead of Archer and the herd of wild boars, the giant monster passed through the forest unimpeded. In a short while, it left the forest and then turned into a raging flame and disappeared on the plains outside the forest. At the same time, Situ Pengcheng and the dancing bird also arrived outside the forest.

It turned out that this giant monster was created by Situ Pengcheng. He used a wooden stick to set up the monster skeleton, and the net brought by the dancing bird was covered with weeds. This way, a giant body that was not as cumbersome as its outer appearance could be created, allowing Situ Pengcheng to drag it with his own strength.

Moreover, there were also mechanisms within this monster. In order to increase the effect of dragging it, Situ Pengcheng cut apart the thick trees and used the theory of circular rolling to create wheels, making dragging it more energy-saving.

On the other hand, Situ Pengcheng was afraid that the wild boar would be able to see through the monster's structure if it got too close, so he prepared a large amount of dry grass to burn, but he couldn't breathe and couldn't see the road in the burning. What should he do?

Situ Pengcheng made a sealed wooden box. On the top and bottom of the wooden box, there was an opening. The hole on the top allowed the hollow cylinder made of tree bark to pass through, and the cylinder was tied with a rope. The rope was pulled from the dancing bird to the sky, far away from the black smoke. He put his head into the hole under the wooden box, so he did not have to worry about the influence of the black smoke. He only needed to move the monster in the direction of the rope without worrying about it suddenly going out of control.

Finally, the dancing bird that was disguised as the head of the monster pulled two lamps and a pot of oil into the sky. When necessary, the oil would fall down, and the oil would be heated up, which would effectively drive away the wild boars.

When everything was ready, Situ Pengcheng blew the horn. As he advanced, he beat the drums, giving this monster a shocking aura. Finally, he intimidated all the creatures in the forest and steadily walked out of the forest.

After Situ Pengcheng and the dancing bird used the giant monster they created to leave the forest, what they saw was a vast and boundless plain. Looking from afar, there was a small mountain in the distance. On the mountain, there was a large and obvious stone building, which was the residence of the witch.

Situ Pengcheng wanted to keep the giant monster as a tool to intimidate other creatures, but unfortunately, the layer of grass between the burning grass and the giant monster's body prevented the skeleton from burning. The water-rich weeds had already been dried by the fire, and it wouldn't take long for them to dry up like the grass used to burn black smoke.

And the truth was just as Situ Pengcheng had thought. As the fire grew more and more fierce, the giant monster quickly turned into a huge bonfire on the plains, and then it completely turned into ashes. However, this also dispelled the wild beasts that were waiting for an opportunity in the darkness, allowing Situ Pengcheng and the dancing bird to have a safe and peaceful night.

The next morning, Situ Pengcheng and the dancing bird replenished their supplies and once again headed towards the witch's stone castle.

The journey was very smooth without many hiccups. Around noon, they had already arrived at the foot of the hill.

Situ Pengcheng looked at the hill and thought to himself that he would be able to return home after climbing it. He couldn't help but feel a little unsettled because... The current him was no longer the same young man who had been unable to deal with wild beasts in the past.

Situ Pengcheng now had a beard and long hair. Although he didn't have a proud tattoo, there were countless stories that could be shared with the people of his hometown. At this moment, he seemed to see his familiar home at the end of the mountain road. It was as if he could hold a toast with his family at the banquet.

However, this beautiful dream was quickly dispelled by Situ Pengcheng's mind. He knew that it was still too early to say these things. He needed to be calm and steady in order to not have any problems.

Thus, Situ Pengcheng took a deep breath and begged Ur to protect him. He focused his mind and then stepped onto the mountain road.

However, the moment he stepped on the mountain road, the earth began to shake crazily. Many large rocks rolled down from the small mountain.

Upon encountering such a mutation, Situ Pengcheng was so scared that he immediately ran. Who knew that the falling rocks behind him would chase after him relentlessly? Even when they reached the flat ground, they still followed behind him without showing any signs of slowing down.

At this moment of life and death, a rope suddenly dropped down from the sky. It turned out that the rope that had been tied to the Dancing Bird's body had yet to be released. At this time, Situ Pengcheng no longer cared about the other options. He hurriedly grabbed the rope and let the Dancing Bird pull him up.

The rope saved Situ Pengcheng's life. Although the dancing bird did not have the ability to carry him off the ground, it allowed him to jump far above his previous height, saving him from the fate of being run over by a big rock.

But in the next moment, these giant stones suddenly began to combine together. They gradually piled up to form a half a day tall stone giant and attacked Situ Pengcheng and the dancing bird.

The power of the stone giant was boundless. Just the wild winds created by its attacks were enough to make the dancing bird lose the advantage of flying, causing Situ Pengcheng to almost be unable to stand. Facing such a monster, Situ Pengcheng could only protect the dancing bird in his arms and run away. He could run as far as he could, and besides saving his life, he couldn't think of anything else.

After running for an unknown period of time, the stone giant behind them finally disappeared, and they also distanced themselves from the small mountain.

Situ Pengcheng let go of the dancing bird that he was protecting because it couldn't fly in the wild wind.

"Only we are absolutely unable to climb that mountain. Can you please fly to the place where you previously landed and ask the ground rats to come and help?"

The dancing bird responded to Situ Pengcheng's words and spread its wings, flying in the direction of the mountain.

The dancing bird flapped its wings and sped away, the stars and moon shining on its back. It brought Situ Pengcheng to the place where they had originally settled down. Because it was carrying a mission and it was extremely urgent, this trip only took about half a day. The familiar rocky mountain had already entered her eyes.

"Little bird, didn't you follow that brat? Why are you here?"

Just as the dancing bird flew over the rocky mountain, a voice suddenly stopped her. Looking down, the yellow fish in the lake stuck its head out from the water and looked at her.

"Situ Pengcheng, it's dangerous. The rock is very big. Earth Mouse, help."

The dancing bird thought that this matter was related to the yellow fish, so it descended to the lake side and continuously flapped its wings. It waved its hands and waved at the yellow fish in an attempt to explain the current situation.

After a while, the yellow fish finally roughly understood what the dancing bird was talking about.

"I'm afraid that what you encountered was a demonic statue. It was led by a stone with magic power. It transformed into a myriad of stone masses, and was responsible for protecting the surroundings of the temple. " The demonic statue is extremely hard and possesses immense strength. It's impossible for humans to destroy it. Even if they use all sorts of methods to trap it, the demonic statue will still be reborn from the mountain. "

"Earth Mouse, help me. I won't win!"

After hearing the yellow fish's words, the dancing bird flapped its wings nervously, but this emotion was quickly pacified by the yellow fish.

"Don't worry. Although we can't win a direct battle, we still have a way to win. As long as we find the leading stone and cut a crack in the characters engraved on the stone, the stone will lose its magic power. "

After receiving the yellow fish's suggestion, the dancing bird once again set out on its journey to find the Earth Rat Clan, informing them of Situ Pengcheng's current situation.

"The human mister has encountered danger? There's actually such a thing. Don't worry, since you've eaten your grain, why won't you take action? "In the evening, my family will fill up my cheek pouch with food. We will travel day and night to help Mr. Human."

The dancing bird was very happy to receive the promise of the Earth Mouse. It hurriedly spread its wings and flew to Situ Pengcheng's side, wanting to convey the words of the yellow fish to him.

That night, the dancing bird had already returned to the plains and found Situ Pengcheng, who had set up camp on the ground.

"It's been hard on you. I really didn't expect those stones to have magical powers. Fortunately, you brought back this news. Otherwise, we would have returned empty-handed."

After receiving the message from the dancing bird, Situ Pengcheng once again formulated a plan to completely defeat the demonic statue and fulfill his promise.

The next morning, Situ Pengcheng began to survey the various terrains. In the face of the massive demonic statue, he knew that he had to take all possible precautions.

Situ Pengcheng spent an entire day and night planting wooden sticks that represented all sorts of meaning in the plains. He also guessed the movements of the Demon Images and designed various tools that could help with the planning.

Two days later, the Earth Rat Clan passed through the forest and came as promised. Everyone spent an entire two days preparing.

As a result, the plan to fight against the Demon Images had been roughly completed. From now on, they only needed to rest and wait for the sun to rise.
