About the story of a brave man being a potato for a thousand years and then the world was destroyed

"I know!" Jilunini responded, exerting force in her hands, and finally pulled Ossa up from the quagmire, and fell to the hard stone ground 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 Aosa was mentally affected by a method unknown to them, producing 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...

Um……

No, forget it, I can’t eat it no matter what, 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 dried meat, and then lifted it up suddenly.

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. Suddenly he 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 sidelines. 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 up 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 dry 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 failed to pull the thing out, it seemed to have helped?

Well...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.

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

"No, I don't know," Yain shook her head, "I've never heard of such a monster, but it doesn't matter. I didn't know it before, so I just need to study it on the spot."

As she said that, she turned her head and shouted to Aosa: "Hey! Big cat! Do you want to get your place back?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Aosa grinned, "I've been waiting for you to say this for a long time."

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

Deep in the swamp, a church in the dark.

Beautiful patterns are carved on the dark stone walls, and bright crystals embellish the silence of the church.

The bells echoed.

The devout believers gathered in the church and worshiped the sacred statue.

The statue depicts a beautiful god with a pretty face, wearing a long robe, holding a shining gem in his hand, and the ripples of light reflected on the inner wall, like ripples.

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

A priest stood under the statue. He was hunched over, wearing a noble and elegant black robe with gold edges. The shadow of the hood covered his face, revealing only his long beard.

The beard was as black as ink, hanging down to his chest.

He held an ancient bound book in one hand, chanting the contents of the book loudly, and with the other hand, he picked up the black dust at hand and sprinkled it under the altar.

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

After chanting a prayer, the priest put down the book, picked up a golden cup on the table, and walked down 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 to dip his hand gently in the golden cup, picked up some green paint, and gently smeared it on the believer's sword.

Then, he walked to the next person and did the same.

Then, the next one...

Just as he walked in front of the sixth person, suddenly, his movements stopped.

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

"Priest? I, did I do something wrong?" The believer holding the sword was a little panicked, 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 said that, he dipped the paint in the cup and smeared it on the believer's sword.

After that, just like before, this mysterious ceremony was carried out as usual.

But for some reason, since then, the believers always felt that the priest in front of them was a little absent-minded, and looked at the dark dome from time to time, wondering what he was looking at.

56. We can't read books mechanically, but should pay attention to applying what we have learned

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

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

Yes, that's right, it's a large mousetrap.

Simple, but it's really practical.

The premise is that these things in the swamp must be at the same intelligence level as the mice, and they can't rush out of the bottle.

Unfortunately, Yain was not sure about these two aspects, so she didn't actually think about succeeding at once, but just planned to try it first.

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

It's reasonable, but I always feel that the development gap with imagination is so big.

And when that thing is caught, Ao Sa can really take revenge and complain.

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

Unfortunately, things did not go smoothly.

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

But Ya Yin said that he was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, these things in the swamp did not even dare to come to the ground. It was not far from the forest and they could easily collect supplies. They could camp here now and spend ten days or half a month with this thing.

Anyway, they would never go deeper without studying what this thing is and how to deal with it.

After making a decision, everyone stopped struggling. After allocating the night watch, they camped on the spot, eating, drinking and sleeping.

In order to prevent the same situation as Ao Sa from happening again, the night watch groups were divided into two groups. Yayin even used earth magic to raise walls around her, and added early warning magic circles inside and outside the walls to prevent accidents.

The first night watch was Liu Ji and Yayin.

Yayin had to guard the mouse trap she threw into the swamp, while Liu Ji, because his biological clock was still chaotic as usual, was not sleepy for the time being, so he simply accompanied Yayin to guard the first shift.

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

Although there were such moments when I was traveling in the forest a few days ago, it was in the dense forest after all, and the sky had never been as open as it is now.

However, looking at the stars in the night sky, Liu Ji always felt a sense of illusion, feeling that they were not planets, but rather like floating balls of light.

Well...

But, it is probably an illusion. Those are stars far away in the sky. How can you see them clearly on the ground?

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

Unprepared, he felt his heart beat heavily.

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

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

Although he knew that the two of them were not in that kind of relationship at all, Liu Ji's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

And at this moment, Ya Yin even leaned over, feeling the touch of his right arm and Ya Yin's left arm, Liu Ji became more and more nervous.

"Is she sleepy? Does she want to sleep on my shoulder for a while? Is my shoulder too high? Should she bend down a little..."

A series of confusing thoughts flashed through Liu Ji's mind quickly, 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.

"Hello? What's wrong?" Yayin's voice came with a hint of laziness, "You are so absorbed in watching, is there something good in the sky?"

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

At that moment, he felt his heart pause again.

Yayin's left hand was originally leaning on Liu Ji's arm, and now she raised her right hand above Liu Ji's sight. The whole person looked like she was trying to get closer to Liu Ji. That delicate little face was so close. If Liu Ji lowered his head slightly, it would feel like...

No! Of course, just thinking! Just an analogy! They were not that kind of relationship, and no matter what, he couldn't suddenly do such a thing.

Just when Liu Ji's cheeks were burning because of his wild thoughts, Yayin reached out and flicked his forehead.

"What are you doing? It's time to recite the spells," Yayin said, and put her notebook full of spells for today on Liu Ji's legs.

"Oh, oh, that's right..." Liu Ji calmed down instantly when he saw the dense spells.

It felt like he was about to play a game and found out that he would take a high-level math test tomorrow.

Although spells were not as deadly to him as high-level math, he couldn't help but feel that Teacher Yayin was really strict. He pulled a lot of learning every day, and always made the teaching content exquisitely stuck at the limit that Liu Ji was about to be unable to bear.
