[Comprehensive] Goddess of Bryan

"Then do you regret it now?" The young Yazi immediately retorted, "This is the rule set by the leaders of the past dynasties. Whenever there is fresh food, the old ones eat it first. You say it as if you are too modest. ! If you are really humble, why not give me the opportunity this time?"

"You!" The village chief screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and rushed towards Yazi.None of the people present, including the two people who were watching the play outside, thought that this skinny and dry old man would suddenly get into trouble, waving his hands like dead branches and ruthlessly grabbing at Yazi.

There were two sounds of "咻咻" in the air, as if the cloth was cut by scissors.Then a scream erupted in the room, and Yazi covered his left face and his eyes began to turn red: "I respectfully call you the village chief, do you really consider yourself the leader?! What are you that dares to hurt my face! "

She roared loudly, her figure also swelled and deformed, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a blue-purple monster as tall as a person.The monster's eyes were as red as two small red lanterns. There were three bloody scratches on the left cheek. The flesh was scratched and rolled up, exposing the white fish inside. It waved its sharp nails to make it even thinner. A little lesson for that merfolk.

Two pieces of broken calico clothes fell to the ground and no one cared about them. The room was in chaos. Most of the mermaids were stopping the two companions, hoping that they would calm down. People who are not used to it on weekdays kicked a few feet, and by the way cheered for the leader they supported.

Thanks to the remote location of this room, some distance from the house where Bai Lan and the others lived, otherwise such a big commotion would probably wake Chun Ji up.

If Bai Lan still cared more or less about this group of mermaids before, then she was completely relieved now.

Such a stupid mermaid, even if there are a lot of them, they can't play with her. What's more, the mermaids are not monolithic, so it is most comfortable to use the gap that has existed for a long time.

Fortunately, most of the mermaids were calm, and the noise in the room quickly subsided.When the crowd dispersed again, Yazi and the village chief returned to human form, but both of them were naked, their hair was disheveled, and they were in a state of embarrassment. The wound on Yazi's left face was still bleeding, and the blood was unknown Someone wiped it away, making half of his face red, making him look extraordinarily scary.

Yazi glared at the village chief viciously, picked up pieces of clothes on the ground and wiped the blood off his face, and then covered the wound.

After doing all this, she said coldly: "Isn't the most important thing now is to find the murderer? Who dares to put mermaid meat in our food?"

The village chief also had fierce eyes, and sneered when he heard this: "I think it's that Bai Lan. She is the only one who didn't eat it among the three!"

Bai Lan, who was squatting outside, suddenly felt that she had been hit by an arrow in her knee, but what the village chief said... didn't mean that she was wronged.There is just one problem, her portion of mermaid meat has not been moved at all, it was brought out just as it was brought in.

Someone in the room obviously wanted to go with her, and raised an objection: "Bai Lan's plate of meat is intact."

Yazi analyzed calmly: "It's either she or the other two people. We hid the cave in the back mountain very well, and it's impossible for anyone to find out."

Obviously, letting them eat their own kind angered the group of mermaids. The crowd that had just calmed down boiled up again. The women clamored to eat Liu Jiang and Chun Ji separately. As for Bai Lan...

"We will soon know whether the other two people can be successfully transformed. If she still refuses to eat by then, I will kill her directly." The village chief decided coldly, and this time Yazi did not disagree.

Probably because they were afraid that Bailan and the others would discover the body of their companion and cause a dispute, Yazi ordered several people to take the body of Mermaid Zhizi to the cave in the back mountain and burn it.This decision caught Bai Lan and Liu Jiang's heart, and they quietly followed the mermaids in front of them to the cave where the secret was hidden.

As mentioned earlier, the mermaid village is built on the mountain, the whole village is located on a mountain, and the so-called Houshan Cave is right behind the mermaid village, the terrain is slightly higher than the village, surrounded by half-person-high weeds and There are lush evergreen trees, and there is only one artificial path leading to the cave.

Several mermaids carried the corpse into the cave, and turned back out of the cave not long after, one of them holding a torch was still complaining: "The group inside is going crazy again, why haven't they all died yet?"

Her companion pushed her: "You are crazy, if Yazi and the village chief hear that they will make you look good."

"If you don't tell me, who knows."

"Stop talking, go back quickly." The third person interrupted them and said coldly.

These people were all young and strong young women, their natural appearance was no different from those Bai Lan had seen before.Now she can only distinguish the group of mermaids based on age, hairstyle and clothing. If she is completely naked like Yazi just now, the difficulty level of identification will increase by several degrees.

When the group of mermaids left as hurriedly as they had come, Bai Lan and Liu Jiang came out from behind the tree trunk where they were hiding, and approached the cave along the path that the group of people had walked just now.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, the two of them heard several howls coming from the dark cave at the same time.

The howling was very shrill, and the tone was extremely sharp. It was hard to tell what kind of beast it was. In short, it was absolutely impossible for a human to make a cry.

Liu Jiang seemed to know what was inside, and walked straight into the cave without stopping.While walking, he said to Bai Lan: "Actually, what I said before is also problematic. Humans who eat mermaid meat can live forever. Their meat is not just as simple as maintaining youth for mermaids."

She drew a candle out of her sleeve as if by a conjuring act, and somehow the sleeve flicked by to light the wick.

Using this candle to illuminate the feet, Liu Jiang continued: "Mermaids are not immortal and immortal. Their lifespan is at most slightly longer than that of humans, and their appearance will also decline. They don't have the death that humans talk about. For mermaids, Death is madness."

In the flickering light of the fire, the shadows of the two were projected onto the stone wall of the cave, twisting and twisting along the uneven stone wall, and the shadows were stretched and slender. The shadow of the person swayed along with it.

The ancient cave, the woman's whisper, and the stern background sound, all of these will make the hairs stand on end and sweat profusely for the timid.

Unfortunately, Bai Lan has never been among these people.

Facing Liu Jiang's eyes watching the show, she calmly responded without changing her expression: "Oh."

"..." Liu Jiang was discouraged in an instant, unable to maintain her coquettish beauty anymore, she yelled angrily, "What's the matter with you?! Why didn't you react at all!"

Bai Lan laughed, and pretended to think for a while, then cupped her cheeks with both hands, opened her mouth and eyes and screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"..."

Liu Jiang gave up completely, and didn't bother to talk to her anymore, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the source of howling.

Bai Lan followed her, looking at this natural cave. From some details, it was obvious that this cave had been lived by people. Whether it was the traces on the wall or the residue on the ground, it proved that someone had used this cave as a living space. residence.

Bai Lan boldly guessed that it was those mermaids who originally lived here, but for some reason, they moved their address outside the cave, and the place where they used to live became...

"A prison."

The footsteps stopped before a cliff.

The road is broken here, and the uncanny workmanship of nature shows its magic here. A small cliff appeared in a cave, and the ground fell vertically three meters deep, forming a semicircular pothole. .I don't know how big the deep pit is, and it extends all the way forward to the range illuminated by candlelight, most of which are trapped in thick darkness.

Just below Bai Lan's feet, just at the edge of the candle's light, there was a dark green monster.

The monster seemed to be aware of the light above the head, and raised its head, revealing a pair of dull and hollow round eyeballs, the middle eyeballs were sticky and dry dark red.

The light fell on the monster, causing it to stop neighing for a moment.

In the depths of the dead cave, the sound of dripping water suddenly became loud.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

At the third drop, the green monster roared, and its claws were about to climb up the cliff while waving the scythe.

Bai Lan raised her hand subconsciously, but found that this fault was very special, the stone wall was abnormally smooth, and with the monster's sharp claws, she could barely climb half a meter, and then rolled back.So she followed the movement of raising her hand and pulled a strand of broken hair behind her ear, raised her head and asked Liu Jiang who was staring at her: "Is this a mermaid too? Why is it a little different from what I saw just now?"

Liu Jiang withdrew his gaze and looked down at the monster that kept climbing up and down: "This is a mermaid that has gone crazy. When the mermaid's lifespan comes to an end, they will become a irrational monster, tearing apart violently. Anything alive that she saw. To avoid this madness, only eat the flesh of a human being successfully transformed by eating merman flesh. And this one..."

She kicked a stone down.

A stone the size of half a baby's fist rolled down the cliff, bounced on the smooth stone wall when bumped against its edges, and then landed in the monster's mouth impartially, and was bitten into powder by the latter's fangs.

"This one has gone crazy without waiting for fresh human flesh."

Liu Jiang moved his body slightly and raised his arms to let the light of the candle shine further.

Part of the darkness receded and faded, turning into a layer of black veil, covering the layers of corpses below.Most of these corpses are the same as the dark green monster scratching frantically under their feet, and a small part of the skin surface is lighter in color, among them is the corpse of that branch.

"Those corpses," Liu Jiang introduced like a few treasures, "There are a few normal mermaids killed by their crazy companions, and the rest are humans who failed to transform."

"Conversion failed."

"You don't think that as long as a human woman eats a mermaid, she can live forever." Liu Jiang squatted down, letting the light of the candle get closer to the bottom of the pit.

She looked at the silent, layered corpses, her hoarse voice echoed in the lonely cave, mixed with the roar of the mad mermaid, and turned into a strange echo: "Mermaid meat is highly poisonous, except for a very small part. Humans, and the rest, whether they are humans or mermaids, will turn into crazy mermaid monsters if eaten."

Thinking of the branch that ate the mermaid meat, Bai Lan finally understood: "It turns out that she was not poisoned to death, but was killed by her companions."

With his back to her, Liu Jiang sneered, and lowered his voice a few degrees: "Mermaids are such pathetic creatures. If they want to maintain youth and sanity, they must constantly look for humans as bait, and because the conversion rate is not high, they often It takes a long time to get the right bait."

When she said these words, Liu Jiang's black pupils once again burst into pieces of gold, and this time the gold continued to expand, and soon occupied the entire pupil, a vertical pupil in the brilliant gold was like a poisonous snake, and the white of her eyes was opposite. Parts turned black instead.

Because of the angle, Bai Lan didn't see this change. When Liu Jiang turned her head again, her eyes had returned to normal.

Liu Jiang stood up as if nothing had happened, and patted the non-existent dust on his knees: "Okay, the visit is over, it's time to go back to sleep."

Seeing that Bai Lan was still standing motionless on the edge of the cliff, she couldn't help but sneered: "What? Are you reluctant to leave? Do you want to stay with them?"

"I'm just thinking about a question." Bai Lan turned her head and looked at Liu Jiang, "When you and Chun Ji are transformed, you will be eaten, and I will be killed. In this case, we don't Should we think of a way?"

Liu Jiang showed that half-smile, slightly contemptuous expression again, holding a candle with her arms around her chest, she tilted her head and asked with interest: "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know if you've ever heard a word."

"?"

"Strike first to be strong, and then to suffer."

For the next two days, the three of Bai Lan lived very peacefully. As always, they were entertained with delicious food and drinks. The cloth they wore was obviously not on the same level as other people in the village. Piglets can be eaten when they are fattened.

In the past two days, with the passage of time, the village chief's old woman looked at Liu Jiang and Chun Ji with more and more fiery eyes, and her attitude towards them became more and more enthusiastic. Bai Lan, her attitude quickly turned cold.Even Chun Ji could see this obvious difference in treatment, and asked Bai Lan in private, "Did you offend the village chief somewhere? She was too rude to you!"

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Chun Ji seems to have mistook Bai Lan for the illegitimate daughter of a certain nobleman, and felt that she should receive the same courtesy as herself.

Regarding this, Bai Lan shook her head innocently: "No, you think too much, the village chief didn't be rude to me."

Chun Ji was depressed for a moment, and went directly to the village chief: "If Bai Lan offends you somewhere, please bear with me and don't get angry."

The village chief's answer was surprisingly consistent with Bai Lan's: "No, no, Miss Bailan didn't offend Laosang, but did Laosang's poor reception cause a misunderstanding between you and Miss Bailan?"

Facing the terrified face of the old woman, Chun Ji's remaining accusations stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit it out again.

Things changed on the third day.

That morning, the three of them had breakfast as usual, but this time the village chief's old lady didn't immediately order someone to put away the tableware, but asked Chun Ji's sign language earnestly: "Miss, how are you these days?"

Chun Ji couldn't figure it out, but felt that those hands as rough as sand touched the back of her hands, which made her very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but struggled with her palms, but in the end, they didn't twitch?

The village head held her hand tightly and stared at Chun Ji without blinking.

Under such strangely hot eyes, Chun Ji finally noticed something was wrong.She subconsciously glanced at Bai Lan who was sitting on the left. Seeing that she was still smiling as usual, she felt relieved and replied with a nod, "I'm doing well, thank you and the villagers for your hospitality. I don't know if you sent someone to contact me is your father?"

The village chief held her hand tightly, without blinking his eyes: "I have already sent someone to contact, and there will probably be news back soon."

Although Chun Ji is an innocent young lady who is ignorant of the world, she is not stupid, and immediately frowned when she heard the words: "The place where my father and I separated is not far from the capital, even if we walk for a day, it is enough to go back and forth. Is this far from the capital? Is it? It has been almost five days since my father and I were separated."

The village chief didn't seem to have expected her to react like this, so he let out an "uh" and was stopped by the question again.

Bai Lan once again lamented the mermaid's IQ in her heart, and smiled and offered to help: "Maybe this is just in the opposite direction from Kyoto, and besides, the mountain road is difficult to walk, so it's normal to delay it for a day or two. Your father sent someone to pick you up."

"Yes, is it..." Chun Ji loosened her frown, hesitated for a moment, and still chose to believe.

It's just that although Bai Lan is there, the weird attitude of the village chief's old woman today still left a shadow in Chun Ji's heart.

At night, when she thought about this, it was difficult to fall asleep, and her mind was filled with the uncomfortable eyes of the village chief's old woman during the day.This night also seemed to be particularly uneventful. Before Chunji fell asleep, there was a sudden noise outside, and then the flames shot up into the sky, and most of the windows were illuminated red.

Chun Ji subconsciously lifted her clothes, stood up, went to the window and pushed open the shutter, and found that several huts not far from her were already in flames.

The soaring flames shot straight into the sky, illuminating half of the night sky, and the flames licked everywhere, and soon ignited the surrounding houses, emitting an astonishing temperature.

The figures outside were swaying back and forth, and if you look closely, it is the villagers carrying buckets and basins to put out the fire. The voices, footsteps, and the crackling of burning wood are all mixed together, giving people the illusion of being in a busy city.

Chun Ji stood blankly by the window, choked by the hot wind blowing towards her face, and the thick smoke had already drifted into her room by the wind, which made Chun Ji cough uncontrollably.

It was this subconscious reaction that brought her back to her senses, and she quickly pushed away from the window, standing in the room at a loss.He wanted to go out to help, but he was also afraid of the red flame he saw just now, his heart was in confusion, and he almost didn't know where he was.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened with a knock.

Chun Ji shuddered all over, and turned her head to see that it was the old lady of the village chief who opened the door roughly.

At this time, the other party's face was full of wrinkles, as if the old tree bark's face looked very kind, Chun Ji hurriedly went up to her: "Village chief mother..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was grabbed by the other party and dragged out of the room.

Chun Ji, as a nobleman, was cared for and pampered since she was a child. She has never been treated like this in her more than ten years of life. Suddenly, her mind froze, and she subconsciously swung the village chief's iron-like palm to scold her: " Please show some respect!"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt a little regretful, thinking that the village head was also in a hurry, why couldn't she treat his kindness like this.

In the end, before regretting it for a few moments, Chun Ji felt her cheeks go numb with a "pop", and her ears buzzed.

It took her a long time to realize that she was beaten? !Was it the village chief's mother-in-law who looked thin and small who beat her?

By the time Chun Ji came to her senses, she had already been dragged several feet away by the assailant, and even the wooden clogs on her feet were overturned in embarrassment, and half of her feet were stepped on the mud.

"Wait, wait!" Chun Ji covered her face, trying to stop the aggressive old woman who was dragging her, "Grandma, the village head! What's going on?!"

"Shut up!" the old woman snapped and slapped her again, "Stop talking!"

After all, Chun Ji is a weak girl who doesn't go out often. Although she is young, she is not as good as the perennial laborer in terms of strength. .

She was also in a daze, first there was a big fire, then the village head's mother-in-law who had always been kind suddenly changed her face, and finally she was beaten again, all of this was suddenly stuffed into the young girl's mind on this ominous night, making her unable to react in time, His mind was blank until he was dragged into the crowd.

It was a cold flash that brought Tsubaki back to her senses.

She shivered, and her eyes, which had been vacant all the time, finally became focused, and fell on the scythe which was only a foot away from her.

She is very familiar with the hand holding the sickle, and she still dislikes the roughness of the other's palm during the day, and it was this hand that dragged her all the way here.

It's the village chief's mother-in-law.

No, there is no need to call mother-in-law anymore, the way the other party looked at her was not looking at a noble lady at all, it was...

The way you look at the food.

Just like Chunji's eyes filled with happiness every time she saw the plate of white meat these days.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

The shrill scream pierced the night sky, causing the soaring flames to soar several feet again.

Frowning, Bai Lan stood up, patted the dust off her hands, and leaned on the awning on her forehead to look towards the place where the screams came from.

It's a pity that even though most of the village was engulfed in flames and the whole night was illuminated, she still didn't see anything.

It's like she searched around just now, but couldn't find the space-time shuttle.

well.

She pinched her waist and thought, now she can be sure that the shuttle was lost in the last world, so now the question arises, how will she go back?Is it possible to stay in this world forever?Or find a way to develop the ability to travel through time and space and leave in time before another self finds it?

Liu Jiang didn't know where she went. Now Bai Lan was empty and in a mess, and the fire was slowly burning towards her position.

If no one controls the fire, the entire forest might be reduced to ashes. Of course, the group of mermaids probably won't be fighting the fire in vain, so they should go to Chun Ji.The scream just now also sounded like Chunji's shouting.

Are you going to save her?

Bai Lan couldn't make up her mind, she didn't like the development of the situation out of her control, that's why she helped the Mermaid Village Chief to say something during the day, she just didn't want that fool Chun Ji to discover something and make a fuss and ruin her tonight plan.

Well now, her plan has been successfully implemented, and it is confirmed that the space-time shuttle is not here, so is she going to be a good person again?

After thinking about it, Bai Lan squatted down, found a random stone, and wiped off the dirt on it.

Weighing the weight of the stone, she murmured to herself, "If this stone doesn't fall to the ground, I'll go and save her."

If Liu Jiang was here, he would definitely roll his eyes. Saying such words already showed that Bai Lan didn't want to save people at all.

In fact, Bai Lan really thought so, but at that time she seemed to have a premonition that she needed to do something unnecessary.

So, after she finished speaking, she flipped her wrist and gently threw the stone forward.

The round stone turned over and over in the air, paused for a moment, and then fell at a faster speed. When it fell halfway, it was suddenly caught by a plain white palm.

Bai Lan was slightly taken aback, and followed the slender five fingers to look at the owner of the palm. A young man with black hair and black eyes who looked a bit like a fox stood in the mess and nodded and smiled at her: "The stone didn't fall on the ground, the girl can Did you go to rescue someone?"
