The devil in the United States and the universe

The forest on the seaside can't be said to be very dense, barely blocking the sun. The low shrubs are just touching the ground, and you can see far away inside at a glance. The trees growing here are tall and straight, with thick leaves that look a little dark green. a feeling of.

Jason took Miles and Hercules to pick through the woods, and finally selected a thick, 30-meter-tall forest tree with a gray-white trunk and gray velvet.

"Just this one. If you use it as a beam, it should be enough."

Miles looked at it and saw that the straight tree trunk was evenly distributed up and down. It could be used as a beam without much repair. So he gave Jason a thumbs up and praised: "You have good vision. You can do it with just one beam." ”

Jason scratched his head, smiled, and greeted the leisurely Hercules: "Brother, give me an axe."

Hercules rolled his eyes at his silly brother. He was a god, but he was regarded as a tree feller.But seeing Jason's flattering smile, he took a deep breath, walked to the side of the big tree, reached out and took off the ax from his waist, pointed it at the root of the big tree, and swung it gently, and the sharp ax made a continuous sound. It didn't even come out, it had already left the trunk.

Hercules stretched out his hand and pushed hard on the tree trunk. A crackling sound could be heard, and then there was a roar, and a big tree fell to the ground instantly.

"Brother, you did this job neatly." Jason chuckled, then handed Miles a small ax and worked with him to clean up the tree trunk.

Hercules turned his head away from Jason, and walked while looking at the surrounding trees. From time to time, he would select a tree, swing his ax over, and chop down the trees one by one.For a while, there were constant clicking sounds in the forest.

To make a beam, you only need a straight tree trunk, but if you want to make a complete roof, you need more than just the beam, rafters, shelves, and other structures, all of different sizes. Only wood can be satisfied.

"You people in the city haven't experienced this feeling." Jason swung the ax to cut off the extra branches while chatting with Miles.

"It's okay. Our place is basically made of steel and concrete, and the wooden houses are less used, but it's okay." Miles chatted casually, working hard, and it was effortless to pick up a small axe. He really didn't have much at home. Things like cabins, firstly, are not used, and secondly, her mother Elena doesn't like such inconvenient cabins.

"Then you can experience it more. Let me tell you, this house built by myself is comfortable and friendly to live in." Jason said proudly to Miles: "Growing up, the whole fishing village has been The wooden houses I built were fast and good, and people said I was a born architect."

Jason took out a tape measure from his trouser pocket, selected a location and measured it, selected a sufficient length, then made a mark, used an ax to cut the trunk into two long and short sections, and then peeled off the bark. With a little repair, one beam was ready.

"As long as it dries again, this beam will be fine." Jason stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said to Miles.

At this moment, Miles suddenly felt dizzy, and then there were waves of shaking under his feet, making both him and Jason unsteady.

"what happened"

Miles looked around, and the movement gave Miles a familiar feeling. First he felt dizzy, then shaking.

"Earthquake, this is an earthquake"

Miles shouted hastily.

Jason didn't care about hiding his identity next to Miles. He straightened his body up and jumped into the air to look around. The sea was calm and there was nothing wrong with the fishing village still existing. Birds in the forest fluttered out and occupied the sky. , except for these, there is nothing.

At this moment, Miles felt the gaze, the hostile, murderous gaze coming from behind him.

"Kill him and eat him"

"Kill him and eat him"

Whispers after whispers sounded in Miles's ears, like the sound of wind blowing through leaves, rustling.

The muscles behind Miles tightened, and the art of ground recognition unfolded. Behind a big tree not far behind him, there were two green skinned people with pointed ears, fangs, big scarlet eyes, and hands. Holding a knife and fork inside, the creature with a rickety body looked like a human being who was about to have dinner. It was staring at him with greedy eyes, whispering: "Kill him, eat him."

"Have you smelled how delicious his soul is? His body also exudes fragrance. It's been a long time since I've seen such a delicious soul and such a delicious body." One of the creatures moved quietly, avoiding the giant in the sky. Sen's eyes came step by step behind Miles.

"Haha, you are mine." The creature cheered, pointed the fork in its hand at Miles's back, and thrust it in hard.According to his past experience, the fork changed back to piercing the skin of the human in front of him, piercing his heart, then cutting off the bones in his chest, and finally popped out from his chest, and then he could happily Carrying this corpse, he could hide easily and return to his lair to eat and drink and strengthen himself.

But at this time, all his previous experience was of no use. The human in front of him flexibly turned his wrist and lightly knocked the small ax in his hand on his fork. His wrist seemed to have been hit on something hard. On the stone, the palms were cracked and the metacarpal bones split.Before the severe pain returned to his mind, his eyes saw that the human body had turned around. The ax went along the arm, across the shoulder, and then moved lightly on his neck. There was no pain at all. , he saw his eyes falling continuously, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Devil or something?" After a confused whisper came into his ear, his vision went dark, and his body turned into dust mixed with firelight and smelling of sulfur, slowly dissipating in the air.

Miles frowned and looked at the same creature behind the tree. With mana surging, he opened his mouth and uttered the word "ding".

The holding technique passed through the obstruction of the big tree, hit the creature that was about to escape, and fixed it behind the big tree.

Jason saw a flash of fire in the sky, and hurriedly came down to see a piece of burning dust at Miles' feet. The strong smell of sulfur filled his nose, making his face change drastically: "The smell of hell." , just like what the elder brother said, the rich sulfur and the eternal flame are all symbols of the hell creatures coming here."

"Miles, how are you? Are you okay?" Miles looked into the distance pretending to be stunned, as if he was petrified.

Jason waved his hand in front of Miles, and Miles pretended to have come to his senses and said in surprise: "What's wrong, what did you see? Have you found the cause of the earthquake?"
