About the brave man who became a thousand-year-old potato and ended up destroying the world

"I know!" Jilunini responded, exerting force in her hands, and finally pulled Ossa out of the quagmire, and fell to the hard stone hill with a thud.

Osa was lying on the ground in shock, clutching the long rope tightly in his hand.

The half-length thin threads that were still on his legs no longer moved at this time, and after a while, they turned into strands of dry threads and scattered on the ground.

But looking at Aosa's legs, they were already dripping with blood.

55. As we all know, the best way to learn about Pokémon is to catch one directly

In the evening, everyone sat around the bonfire in Shiqiu, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Callidora was still helping Osa treat the wound on her leg.

Although those black lines did not penetrate very deep, there were too many wounds, and it was not easy to heal them all.

Yayin has been studying the dead silk, trying to figure out what these things are, but has not gained much yet.

Mowente and Jilunini were watching the surroundings. Ever since the accident just happened, the two of them had been a little nervous.

At that time, they asked Ossa why Ossa walked into the swamp.

Osa's answer exceeded everyone's expectations. He said that he did not know that he had walked into the swamp at the time, and he just thought about going to collect some firewood nearby.

but……

In this place where there is nothing but bare stone platforms and muddy ground, where can he get the wood?

After that, everyone realized something was wrong.

The worst thing is that after inspection, Callidora found no traces of hypnosis or illusion on Osa, and there was no hallucinogenic component in the nearby air.

This also means that Ossa was mentally affected by a method unknown to them, resulting in a false perception similar to hallucinations.

Since this situation could happen to Aosa, it could also happen to each of them, which made it difficult for them to feel at ease.

As for Liu Ji, he was the only person present who didn't panic at all.

After all, the desert incarnation is the greatest research result of the laid-off demon king Mass, apart from the blood moon. Needless to say how powerful its effect is.

Just like now, Liu Ji was the only one present who dared to squat on the edge of the stone hill.

As for why he is squatting here...

In fact, he was thinking about a question.

Although they don't know what those black threads are now, if he pulls one up and tries it...

Ok……

No, forget it, I can’t eat it no matter how much I think about it, it’s so disgusting.

But, maybe he can pull one out and take a look?

Thinking of this, Liu Ji took out a small piece of dried meat from his arms and carefully sank half of the dried meat into the swamp.

Then, after waiting for only a few seconds, Liu Ji suddenly felt something bite the dried meat in his hand, and then dragged it down hard, trying to drag the dried meat into the swamp.

"You really took the bait?" Liu Ji raised his eyebrows, thinking that it would be a pity not to pull it out and take a look, so he held the dried meat in one hand and inserted it directly into the swamp with the other hand. He grabbed hold of the thing that was snatching the meat and jerked it upwards.

Suddenly, a long black thread was pulled out of the mud.

Liu Ji was overjoyed. He was just about to capture this thing alive and give it to Ya Yin for research when he suddenly heard a commotion in the swamp. The next moment, dozens or hundreds of black thin threads followed him. He took one and rushed out of the swamp, directly hitting Liu Ji's face.

This sudden change shocked everyone on the side. Seeing the hundreds of black thin threads squirming crazily on Liu Ji's face, Mo Wente immediately felt his hair standing on end. He rushed forward with a sword and wanted to help. .

However, Jilunini suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"Wait, don't worry, he's fine!" Jilunini said quickly, "Pay attention to the swamp! I feel there is something over there..."

Before Ji Lunini finished speaking, he saw Liu Ji's figure suddenly change. The position of his head turned into his hand. With a backhand, he wrapped all the black thread around his hand. Then he lowered his head. With a roar, he fiercely pulled the black thread upwards.

At that moment, everyone saw a big bump bulging on the surface of the swamp, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

However, at the next moment, all the black threads on Liu Ji's hand suddenly broke in the middle. The broken part immediately turned into the same dry thread as before, while the other part quickly retracted into the swamp, and together with it The bulging mud bag disappeared without a trace.

"Huh? He actually ran away?" Liu Ji frowned, looked at the half of dried meat left in his hand, thought about it, squatted down again, and planned to fish again.

But this time, no matter how much he shook the dried meat in his hand, there was no reaction in the swamp.

"It's scared," Yayin said, squatting next to Liu Ji and picking up the dead silk on the ground. "I wonder why I can't analyze it. It turns out that this thing is just magic waste."

This mantra was a bit long, so Liu Ji didn't quite understand it and looked at Ya Yin in confusion.

Yayin smiled, gently touched Liu Ji's forehead with her knuckles, and said softly: "Good job."

"Ah, really," Liu Ji scratched his head.

This is understandable. Although he couldn't pull the thing out, it seemed to have helped?

Hmm...it doesn't matter. He doesn't know anything about these monsters from another world anyway, so professional issues should be left to professionals to judge.

"Yayin, do you know what's down there?" Mowente came over and asked.

"No, I don't know," Yayin shook her head. "I have never heard of such a monster, but that's not important. I didn't know it before. Just do on-site research."

With that said, she turned to Ao Sa and shouted: "Hey! Big Cat! Do you want to get the place back?"

"Then you still need to ask?" Ao Sa grinned, "I've been waiting for your words for a long time."

"Okay," Yayin said, pulling out a stick bone from the magic space, "Then let's catch a monster and study it carefully."

----

Deep in the swamp, there is a church in darkness.

Beautiful patterns are carved on the dark stone walls, and bright spar embellishes the church.

The bells echoed.

Devout believers gathered in the church and worshiped the sacred statue.

The statue was carved with a beautiful god with a good face, wearing a long robe, and holding a shining orb in his hand. The light reflected on the inner wall was like ripples of light.

"We thank the earth, the gods, and everything in the world for giving us a beautiful life..."

A priest stood under the statue. He was stooped and wore a noble and elegant gold-rimmed black robe. The shadow of the hood covered his face, only revealing his long beard.

The beard was as black as ink and hung down to his chest.

He held an ancient bound book in one hand and chanted the contents of the book loudly. With the other hand, he picked up the black dust at hand and spread it towards the bottom of the altar.

The believers below closed their eyes and raised their heads, accepting this unique baptism with sincere faces.

After reciting a prayer, the priest put down his book, picked up the golden cup on the table, and walked off the altar.

Seeing this, the believer at the front quickly drew out his sword, held it up with both hands, and raised it above his head.

"May God bless you..." the priest said, reaching out and lightly dipping his hand in the golden cup, picking up some green paint, and lightly smearing it on the believer's sword.

Then he moved on to the next person and did the same thing.

Then, the next one...

Just when he reached the sixth person, his movements suddenly stopped.

He raised his head and looked upward, as if he felt something.

"Priest? I, did I do something wrong?" The believer holding the sword was a little frightened, thinking that he had done something wrong.

"Ah? Oh, no," the priest came back to his senses, looked at the believer, shook his head slightly and said, "My child, you did a good job..."

As he spoke, he dipped the paint in the cup and applied it on the believer's sword.

Afterwards, just like before, this mysterious ceremony went on as usual.

But for some unknown reason, since then, the believers have always felt that the priest in front of them was a little absent-minded, looking at the dark dome from time to time, not knowing what they were looking at.

56. We cannot study rotely, we must pay attention to applying what we have learned.

In about an hour, Yayin completed the trap that she was proud of.

It was a huge rock bottle that was several meters high. There was a rod bone tied to the innermost part of the bottle. There was an engraved mechanism on the rod bone. As long as the rod bone was pulled, the mechanism would be triggered and the mouth of the bottle would be completely closed.

Well, that’s right, just a large mousetrap.

Simple, but really useful.

The premise is that the things in the swamp must be at the same intelligence level as the mice and cannot be rushed out of the bottle.

Unfortunately, Yayin was not sure about these two aspects, so she actually didn't expect to succeed at once, but just planned to give it a try first.

And Ao Sa also didn't expect that what Yayin said about "finding a place" was actually asking him to throw this giant stone bottle into the swamp.

It's very reasonable, but I always feel that the development gap is a little bit different from what I imagined.

And when that thing is caught, Osa can indeed take revenge and complain.

Well, although it may not be the same one that gnawed on him.

Unfortunately, things did not develop smoothly.

I don’t know if they were discovered or if Liu Ji’s previous fishing law enforcement had scared these guys. After they threw the giant bottle into the swamp, they waited for a long time but did not feel any reaction from the magic circle.

But Yayin said that she was not in any hurry about this. Anyway, these swamp things didn't even dare to come to the ground. It was not far from the forest and they could easily collect supplies. They could set up camp here and spend ten days with this thing. Half a month is nothing.

Anyway, they will never go further without researching clearly what this thing is and how to deal with it.

After making the decision, everyone no longer hesitated. After assigning the vigil work, they set up camp on the spot, eating and drinking when they should, and sleeping when they should.

In order to prevent the same situation as Ossa from happening again, the vigil was divided into groups of two. Yayin even used earth magic to raise a wall around it, and added early warning arrays inside and outside the wall to guard against accidents.

The first vigil team is Liu Ji and Ya Yin.

Ya Yin wanted to guard the mouse trap she had thrown into the swamp, but Liu Ji simply accompanied Ya Yin to guard the first shift because his biological clock was as chaotic as ever and he was not sleepy for the time being anyway.

On a quiet night, two people sat by the fire, listening to the crackling of firewood and watching the night sky shining brightly. For Liu Ji, who had lived among high-rise buildings in his previous life, it was a rare and wonderful experience. .

Although there were times like this when we were rushing in the forest a few days ago, we were in a dense forest after all, and the sky had never been as open as it was at this moment.

However, when looking at the stars in the night sky, Liu Ji always had a sense of illusion. He felt that they were not like stars, but like free and erratic balls of light.

Ok……

However, it is most likely an illusion. Those are stars far away in the sky. How can they be seen clearly on the ground?

Just when Liu Ji was looking up at the stars, he suddenly felt Ya Yin sitting next to him.

Unprepared, he felt his heart beat heavily.

Starry sky, night, bonfire, two people...

These elements appeared in his heart at the same time, making him unconsciously think of those romantic scenes in film and television animations.

Although he knew in his heart that the relationship between the two was not that kind of relationship at all, Liu Ji still felt his heart beat faster unconsciously.

But at this moment, Yayin even leaned closer. Feeling the touch of his right arm and Yayin's left arm, Liu Ji became more and more nervous.

"Here, is she sleepy? Does she want to sleep on my shoulder for a while? Are my shoulders a little too high? Do you want to bend down a little..."

A series of chaotic thoughts quickly flashed through Liu Ji's mind, but despite the many thoughts, Liu Ji was stiff and unable to move.

At this moment, a small hand stretched out in front of his eyes and waved it.

"Hello? What's wrong?" came Yayin's lazy voice, "I'm looking so fascinated. Is there anything good in the sky?"

"Eh? Ah, no..." Liu Ji scratched his hot cheek, lowered his head, and looked at Ya Yin who was looking up at him...

At that moment, he felt his heart pause again.

Yayin's left hand was already leaning on Liu Ji's arm. At this time, she raised her right hand above Liu Ji's line of sight. She looked like she was trying to get closer to Liu Ji. Her delicate little face was so close. So close, if Liu Ji lowers his head slightly, it feels like...

No!Of course, just thinking about it!Just an analogy!They don't have that kind of relationship, and no matter what, it's impossible for him to suddenly make such a move.

Just when Liu Ji's cheeks were getting hot because of his random thoughts, Yayin stretched out her hand and flicked his forehead.

"Why are you so stunned? It's time to memorize the incantation," Yayin said, putting her notebook filled with today's incantation lessons on Liu Ji's lap.

"Ah, oh, that's right..." Liu Ji calmed down instantly when he saw the densely packed incantations.

It felt like I was preparing to play a game when I learned that I would take the high school math test tomorrow.

Although mantras are not as critical to him as high math, he can't stand it. Teacher Yayin is really strict. He studies a lot every day, always making the teaching content so exquisite that Liu Ji can't bear it.
