boy and bone

The more than 200 people were automatically divided into several factions as soon as they entered the forest. The clan's knights naturally joined together and formed a team, while several black cavalry troops scattered and did not touch each other. Someone would tell a few jokes now and then, and the laughter was as loud as a Boy Scout camping party, and they were about the only merry voices in the woods.

"It's a bit too quiet, isn't it? Are there no birds in this forest?" Someone among the scattered riders muttered.

The ferret was among them, also wondering about this problem. The deeper he walked in the forest, the more tightly his hand clenched the saber at his waist.

Just as he was thinking, under the shade of trees covering the sky and the sun, the wind direction suddenly changed, the surrounding scenery was in a trance and upside down, and suddenly day and night were reversed.In the darkness, everyone seemed to be frozen, and it was too late to be surprised, calling for help, and wailing.All I could hear was the scalp-tingling sound of bones being squeezed and crushed, and the sound of pulp collapsing like crushing plump grapes.What rushed into the ear cavity was the sound of howling wind, but there was no trace of wind around the body.

The neighing of someone's horse became the last sound in the forest.

After a while, the forest returned to silence, and there were no traces of the people who had set foot in the forest.

When Man came back to his senses, all the colors in front of his eyes had changed, as if he had fallen from the world into hell in an instant, and Man looked at the familiar forest around him, but it was covered with a gloomy scene. Consciously took a step forward, unexpectedly there was a 'creak' under his feet, and a strange feeling of hard and raised came from the soles of his feet.

Man raised his feet and looked at the ground, half of the pale joints were faintly revealed between the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground.Suddenly, a cold air rose from the soles of his feet. He looked around, and the light in his eyes was dim. The giant tree that had been vicissitudes of life was withered and thin. The air in the room is thin, as if it will be stuffy after a heavy rain, and there is a strange aroma when you smell it carefully, like the sweet and rotten smell of apples that are ripe and rotten.

Looking around, he raised his head by chance, and saw the bare tree tops intertwined and densely intertwined above each other. Every branch hidden in it seemed so powerful and strong, even one of the branch branched out like a sharp fish. A fork, with half a human skeleton hanging on it, and the clothes hanging on the skeleton are torn like shredded paper.

"Riya..." Man looked around, seeing no living creatures full of life, he looked at the armrest behind the wheelchair that he was holding tightly in his hand before, and the chill in his heart couldn't help but expand...

After an unknown period of time, the ferret slowly opened its eyes, and the visible world gradually became clear. Through the densely intertwined bare branches, the gray clouds were cut into pieces, and the humming in the ears weakened, a subtle The rustling movement lingers around.

What just happened?He couldn't recall it for a while.

The consciousness of his limbs has not yet recovered, he can only feel the dull pain coming from his back, the gloomy and single scene in his eyes is also slowly and bumpily retreating, he seems to be lying on the ground, something is tight under the arms on both sides Stretching the muscles, pulling his shoulders to make him move against the ground.

The vigilant consciousness of the ferret was awakened by the grinding pain. His legs began to struggle, and he wanted to turn over and stand up. Unexpectedly, in the process of twisting wildly, his head suddenly hit some kind of round, solid object, and knocked The voice was so loud that he could even clearly feel the tremor inside his head, but unfortunately he only felt it for a moment, then his eyes went dark, and he passed out again.

In the desolate forest, in the soil exuding an ominous atmosphere, a skeleton of an arm that can only be exposed when the human body rots is walking like a walk.Its five phalanges nimbly gripped the ground, leading the two long ulna and radius closely connected behind to drag out a trace.This bone stick moves naturally and casually, just like any kind of reptile, its bone body is densely covered with black spots, from a distance, if its appearance does not show the familiar after-death state of human beings, it would be about [-]% if it appeared alone. Can be mistaken for a slightly larger arthropod poison.Every joint of its bone rod overflowed with a faint black air, and the floating black air condensed into long black rope-like objects, entwining the body of a warm human being behind it. The body dragged and dragged all the way.

It seems that because the things it is pulling are too heavy, its brisk "steps" are more and more affected later. The closer it gets to the edge of the Yin Qi forest, the more it speeds up digging the ground, as if it is very anxious and looking forward to it, and it is eager to reach the place it is about to reach.

It crossed the last bare tree around the last, and it finally pulled the 'something' out of the lifeless area deep in the forest. It was clearly the same forest, but it showed two completely different styles, one side was dark like a ghost In the deep forest, there is moonlight shining through the dense and quiet leaves on one side.

When the bone came under a tree that looked similar to the surrounding tall trees, it shook off the "heavy object" it had pulled all the way from the bare forest, moved its joints excitedly, and shook it off the bone. The dusty dust subdued the black air rising up and down from the bones, and then jumped onto the tree, coiling along the deep and shallow ravines on the bark to climb to the top of the tree.

On the top of the tree, on a branch as thick as a pillar, there was a young man sitting on two legs. He swayed his legs, leaning his back on the trunk, and slowly read the small torn book in his hand page by page by the moonlight: " Ah-bo-yeah-"

"Why is it so uncomfortable to read..." the young man muttered annoyedly. The dense words in the book were simply his childhood nightmare. Now he had to start learning the pronunciation of the alphabet again, and the real nightmare reappeared.He really doesn't understand, why can't the offspring of more than 200 years later continue to use his language at that time, can't it be too noisy to change it?

Gray originally wanted to leave the capital, but he didn't understand the language of the people here, so communication was very troublesome, and he finally found the port to leave. Unfortunately, the group of people pushed him out, and it seemed that he didn't have enough money to board the ship .With nowhere to go and a good livelihood, he just found a forest and got into it. He had performed missions in the wild in a primeval forest for three or four years, and it was not difficult for him to spend a few days in a forest.Although he has nothing, but fortunately his vitality is tenacious and he can do anything. In the past few days, he hid in this forest and slept anywhere, stone pits, tree holes... Today is the top of the tree.

Gray didn't have any ideas, he just wanted to go back, to the Cosmoto that no longer existed.If he died, he should die there.But when language and money are not so satisfactory, he needs to find a way to adapt to this strange and new world for him as soon as possible.He decided to start again with the pile of abcd in the book. Anyway, this forest is so big, there should be a lot of game, which is enough for him to fill his stomach, and Grai is not in a hurry to go to work. After he is almost familiar with the language , and then go out to see if there is any fast-paying work that can cover his travel expenses back to Cosmoto.

Gray thought so in his heart.

"Squeak—beep—" Gray continued to pronounce. He didn't notice a strange human bone arm crawling up from his leg. When the bones were moving, due to the extrusion and collision, the bones and joints created such a strange shape. It was a creepy sound that made people feel numb all over.

The bone stopped when it got close to the boy's head. It stretched out a finger bone provocatively into the boy's hair, scratching the boy's small hair. Seeing that the boy was still in the same posture as before and did not respond, the bone rubbed against the boy's cheek. It got into the boy's neck, and rubbed it repeatedly like a small animal marking its territory.

The young man raised his hand to caress the bone that had penetrated into his arms, and still kept his eyes on the words on the page, he said, "I'm back."

The bones immediately perked up when they heard the sound, and the two long bone rods opened and closed slightly, trembling subtly and enthusiastically like the thin wings of a dragonfly.

"Is there anything good? It makes you so happy." Gray hung on the branch for too long, his limbs were so weak.He's getting too delicate, he thought.Gray sat up straight and stretched while evaluating himself with disgust in his heart.

Bone jumped onto the branch very actively, and stretched out a finger bone pointing down, signaling Gray to look under the tree.

Following the guidance of the bones, Gray found a human-like mass under the tree: "What is this?"

The bone crawled into Grai's palm, trying to pull Grai up.Comprehending its meaning, Gray followed its meaning, put the bone on his shoulders, and climbed down the ground along the tree trunk. He approached the 'long thing' lying flat on the ground, and kicked it with his feet. is a person.

The bones are very active on his shoulders, as if asking for credit.Grai understood in an instant, and he weakly moved his vocal cords that had been covered with dust for a long time before breaking the seal: "I am indeed very hungry, but I don't eat people, moss, stones, steel swords, and boots...Understand ?"

As he said that, Gray alluded to the pile of sundries that formed a small hill that he disliked aside: dead branches and rotten leaves, leather boots and sweaters, steel blocks of gold, and stone carvings for picture frames.

No one can say what level of thinking ability a bone frame has before it is tried, but after trying it, the result is a bunch of things that only a diamond iron stomach can digest.

If he hadn't seen Bones volunteering, Gray didn't want to refute its face, even if he killed him, he would never let a Bones find food for him.

When the bone heard Gray's lecture, it was stunned. It withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole bone stick lay limp on the ground like a soaked bread.

When Gray saw this, he had a very headache: "I didn't mean to scold you. I just... forget it." He didn't know what happened to explain so much to a bone stick.

"Throw this person away, and put back where you got it." Gray said, he can be sure that this person is still alive without feeling for his pulse, because bones will always bring him 'fresh' ingredients.It will not choose a piece of dead meat to send to Grai, nor will it handle the food itself, because it knows that any of its attacks are cursed and corrosive, and it cannot contaminate the 'food' that Grai wants to eat .

Bones shake joints.

Gray said knowingly: "Me? I'll go back to lie down in the tree when I'm hungry, and I won't be hungry when I fall asleep. You don't have to worry."

Having said that, he still walked towards the debris piled up beside the tree with a shred of hope, hoping to find even a little bit of food that seemed suitable for the stomach of a mammal.

Bone listlessly jumped off Grai's shoulder, ready to corrode the 'waste' that Grai didn't want on the ground into residue, it was releasing the curse, but Grai held the bone in time: "No, I'll let you put it back , put it back intact, and cannot use the curse."

Seeing that the bones seemed to be very weak, Gray said, "Okay, I know you are very tired from dragging around. Forget it."

He took the bone and put it back on his shoulder, but it got into Grai's collar as if angry, and only two finger bones were exposed to hook Grai's collar so that it would not fall off.

"If you don't move him away, let's change to another place, and it's the same to leave him here alone."

"Shall we go find something to eat together later?"

"How can you forgive me?"

Gray struggled to figure out how to coax the depressed bones, and at the same time took the bones on the ground to find another safe place to perch on the tree before waking up.
