Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

Battle of the Behemoths

Rhea wakes up from a deep sleep she hasn't had for a long time.

The light in the room was dim and there was no window open, only a few rays of light squeezed in from the wooden door more than three meters high, illuminating a blurred vision. She got up from the soft straw mat hammock, only to feel that yesterday’s exhaustion was wiped out. The smooth flow of the divine power in the body made her finally relieved, and habitually glanced around: the bed was sleeping soundly. The giant gerbil, a few horizontal and vertical wooden chairs separated its boundary of activity, and a leopard-print tabby cat curled up on a small cotton couch in the distance, snoring gently, and shaking its tail from time to time—that’s Ke The deformed state of Nepal.

She didn't understand the supernatural power level of this confused boy. At first I saw the cat ears and thought he was a genius shapeshifter, but after a small talk last night, the straight-natured Connie explained the embarrassment that was unable to eliminate the beast ears because of the mistakes in the practice of spells, and finally winked at her proudly and declared this. It was the only one in the whole village, which made her laugh.

But seeing that he can complete the transformation silently in his sleep, it lasts for such a long time... Obviously he is not a beginner who has not touched the path. What is the reason for this, I am afraid that even the boy himself is confused...

She had never been a good person, and she quickly put this doubt behind her head, got out of the bed gently, pushed the door bolt and walked out of the room. The damp and muddy air in the morning surrounded her instantly, and there was still the low fresh green grass in front of her. It was just that there were countless small stones suddenly added to the hillside overnight, which was really an eye-catcher. .

It was caused by the strange wind last night... Rhea remembers the hurricane that suddenly blew after dark, and was secretly surprised by the changeable weather in the village. This should be the reason why the villagers live in cave houses. s reason. But they have long been used to it... She thought of the young cat looking at the strong wind outside the window and yawning, she couldn't help laughing. She threw the cloak away and started morning exercises in the face of the rising sun.

When the sun gradually reached the top of the slope, the sleeping boy still did not wake up, but a tall and thin figure appeared on the small rocky road down the slope. The figure was dressed in a gray cloak and tied a long shotgun on his back. From a distance, he saw Rhea who was sitting meditating in front of the door suddenly paused and stood still for a few seconds before speeding up to climb up.

"Koni, are you awake?" He didn't pay any attention to the strange mercenary. He turned to the door and took a few hard shots. A panicked answer from the young cat came from the room: "Wake up, wake up! !"

Following a few collisions of tables and chairs, Kony’s dazed little painted face peeked out from the door and smiled in kindness at the visitor: "Brother Gray Eagle, you are back!"

"I'm going to leave soon, go to dinner with me." Gray Eagle gave the female archer a slanted look, with an indelible guard on his cold face.

"Okay, okay." The boy cat pricked his ears when he heard the meal, and turned his head and shouted into the house, "Papa, eat!" Hearing heavy steps, the giant mouse's fat and hairy face also squeezed out the door. , The long beard shook out a vague shadow around the person who leaned forward.

"...Let's go." The gray eagle's expression remained unchanged, obviously he had been accustomed to it a long time ago, and he glanced at Rhea who stood up in silence, and walked along the path with a sullen face. The young cat rode on the back of the mouse and followed slowly. The female archer walked at the end, looking at the young man leading the way in front, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her heart: this man called the gray eagle was very unfriendly and didn't know what happened in the village. , Let them be so xenophobic...

She doesn’t care about this kind of attitude. I’m afraid that if the guards are all indifferent, this mission will be difficult to cooperate...Although the great elder did not have any explicit requirements, since participating in it, she will definitely want Do your best to do your best, otherwise wouldn't it mean that you owe favor?

The gathering place was not in the valley as she thought. Several people were winding down the path until they reached the front of the guard tower. They saw several people surrounded by grass with thick cloth cushions in between, staring at each other. Focus on dining silently.

"Sister Rhea, here!" The little doctor's figure unexpectedly appeared in the crowd. He sat alone on the edge of the tablecloth until now, and finally saw his companion coming, quickly got up and waved.

Seeing his ruddy complexion, Rhea was obviously healed. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but feel happy. He speeded up his pace and sat next to him, giving him a calm glance. Four thin figures in gray-green cloaks faced each other, carrying bulging bags. Among them was the female sentry they met yesterday, looking over with a cold face, holding a tea cup motionless. Look alert.

"Yunuo, you are awake!" A familiar warm greeting came from behind him. Since the little doctor woke up this morning, he was brought here in a daze. He suddenly heard someone calling out his name. He hurriedly looked back, but didn't know the other person, and felt even more at a loss.

"His name is Kony. Thanks to meeting him yesterday, we were able to get away smoothly." Rhea explained in his ear, and returned a sincere smile to the other party. Yuno nodded and smiled. In return. He looked at the pair of cat ears that tremble from time to time, and then glanced at the fat mutant gerbil. He found it interesting, but because of the strange relationship, he was not embarrassed to ask questions.

Kony never cared about the dough like this, so he squeezed into them with a big grin, glanced on the tablecloth, and his smile suddenly wrinkled into bitter gourd: "Why are all green vegetable leaves! Big Brother Grey Eagle, you didn't have it this time." Will you buy the meat?"

The Grey Eagle didn't bother to pay attention to him, and took Papa to sit by the guard tower. From inside, he brought a large box of vegetables and fruits and placed it in front of him. The giant rat immediately plunged into the food pile and heard the sound It kept ringing, but raised his head without seeing it.

Kony murmured for a long time and then attracted the contempt of the opposing team members. He could only pick up a fluffy pie with a flat mouth, add some small pieces of fruit and vegetables coated with sauce, frowning and chewing slowly, as if The vermicelli is like brown bread mixed with mud.

Yuno also retracted his gaze and saw that Rhea was still empty, so he quickly made a vegetable burrito and handed it over: "Sister Rhea, try it. The vegetables here are very good, even Huacheng can't grow it. Pure fragrance."

The female archer was looking at the guards, assessing their strength, and took a sip. There was a slightly sweet and unique fragrance in the leaves. But she actually doesn’t like vegetables, absent-mindedly chewing cakes and drinking freshly squeezed unknown juices, but still thinking in her heart how to deal with the behemoth beast with the weak power of these four team members, and also to be safe. Save your life?

She thought about it and couldn't understand it, but the Gray Eagle Captain didn't give her much time. Seeing that she had eaten a few cakes, she urged the players to go. Naturally, Koni couldn't wait to throw the pie on the tablecloth and jumped to Lapapa, but the fat gerbil stubbornly got into the basket and ate clean before slowly carrying the little owner to follow the team.

Yunora took Rhea to the end, and asked her about the ins and outs of yesterday’s chance encounter. The female archer simply said a few words, but it made him even more puzzled: "Golden weird fish? I don’t remember what’s wrong. Fish..."

"Why don't you remember?" Rhea was even more surprised than him, "That strange fish bit you, and there are still scars on your leg."

"Scars?" Yuno hurriedly opened the trouser legs and looked around. There was a smooth piece on the white calf. The insignificant wound was completely healed by his own power in the resonance inspired by the super-giant gem.

He did not find any evidence, but vaguely felt that he had missed extremely important information, frowned and began to search for fragments of memory. Rhea estimated that this was a short-term memory disorder after his illness, and he didn't bother seeing him thinking hard, and continued to figure out how to assist in this mission.

They walked straight to the northwest along the path, and soon they came to the foot of the snow-capped mountain. In front of them was a large rock cave six or seven meters high, with signs of axe chiseling on the edge, not the passage of the ground-rolling dragon. The Grey Eagle did not stop for a moment, leading them inside. As soon as he entered the cave, Rhea smelled a faint smell of blood, and immediately became alert, but when he saw the huge figures that appeared afterwards, the tension turned into Amazed.

The view in the cave is more open, and there are many glowstones embedded in the surrounding rock walls, reflecting the four giant beasts lying in front: two black-backed giant bears sitting in front, almost touching the rock formation with their heads all over their bodies. They are all old and new scars, with a faint smell; there is a brown python with the thickness of a bucket, blood stained all over, and two eyes as big as a portable lamp, staring at her high and spitting out a bright red letter; the most Inside stood a black goat with curved horns with bulging muscles, and slowly digging its hoofs facing the huge pit in front. The pair of worn-out horns was more than three meters long.

Unexpectedly, there are so many deformers in this mysterious mountain village, and they seem to be absolutely not low-strength, but they all seem to be seriously injured. No wonder the great elder will let unwelcome outsiders come to help... Rhea scanned those hideous faces. The animalized team members with indifferent eyes are more sure about this mission.

The little Physician was awakened by the **** smell nearby. He saw the scarred beasts in front of him. He immediately slammed his face and said, "You, you, and you, come here."

He has a serious face and full of confidence, as if he has changed people, and he is not polite in his words: "What are you doing, hurry up, I am a therapist."

There was a white healing light in his hand, and he waved at the wounded, a little bit of soft light fell, and the shapers who looked at each other instantly sensed the healing power in the body, and without hesitation, they rushed to him.

Yuno didn't dislike the terrifying beast faces at all. When everyone gathered, he closed his eyes and began to gather his divine power. In a flash, the stars and lights wrapped around his body, continuously coiling and weaving, forming a thread like four yarns. Rapidly flowed into the injured person's body. Those old wounds and bruises that had accumulated for so many years seemed to disappear under this gentle bright light. The behemoths only felt that their whole bodies were rejuvenated, and they couldn't stop wanting to scream, but they were afraid to startle the therapist and try to hold them. No sound can be heard.

Rhea looked at the scene in front of her with admiration in her heart. Everyone hasn't been injured much since starting from Rock City, leaving the little doctor empty with divine power and nowhere to do it. However, the injuries of the shapeshifter are different from those of ordinary people. Unless they are fatally wounded in the avatar form, they are all divine power losses. Returning to the human form is at most mentally exhausted and no wounds will be seen. But since the Grand Elder can heal Yuno's injury, why would he turn a blind eye to these apparently very important powers?

She was still guessing in her heart that the little doctor had already completed her work perfectly, and the team members who were transformed back into human form were crowded to thank her, and her status instantly reversed 180 degrees. The Gray Eagle Captain seemed quite surprised, and he also stepped forward to bow and thanked Yuno, the little doctor waved his hand quickly, his face was a little stiff with a smile under this series of courtesy.

"Little lazy cat, it's up to you." Grey Eagle saw that the team members were boosted by the presence of the therapist, and there seemed to be some smiles on the ice cube's face. He patted Kony's head gently and urged. He acts.

"Okay, wrap it on me!" The young cat grinned and waved triumphantly at the new friend behind him. He said nothing, jumped onto Papa's saddle and ran into the cave like a wind on it.

The female archer could more or less guess what he was going to do. She watched several giant beasts reappear in front of the pit, and four players in cloaks surrounded Yuno to protect him, and then walked slowly to the edge of the pit. There were countless thick chains intersected in a pit that was dozens of meters deep. She nodded secretly. She was still old-fashioned baits and traps, but it should be enough to deal with monsters who don't know how to work.

It didn't take long for the familiar rumbling sound to sound in the cave, from light to heavy, indicating the arrival of prey. Rhea had already learned this monster's extremely strong armor, and didn't plan to use the longbow anymore, but had gathered some ice power to prepare to take on Ko Ni.

The figure of the fat gerbil flashed out from the deeper darkness in a blink of an eye. Behind him was the evil behemoth with a pointed round body. The boy cat was attached to Papa’s back like a blanket to minimize the possibility of carrying it. Give it resistance. Seeing the gerbils leading the monster, Rhea seemed to be at ease, her heart was a little settled, and a gray light flashed next to her. As soon as Captain Gray Eagle saw them appear, he turned into a giant eagle, unfolding a ten-meter-long iron Wing greeted him.

Papa had already ran to the edge of the sinkhole, shaking his body and leaping into the air suddenly, catching up with the giant eagle, and carefully caught it with his claws. The prey that was attracted had no vision at all, and fell into a sinkhole as it flew forward, rolling in the layers of iron rope nets.

This is a good time to beat down the water dog. The four shapeshifters also screamed and jumped into the sinkhole. Two giant bears grabbed the iron cable and tightened the tail of the terrestrial dragon, while the giant python climbed to the middle and wrapped it with the iron cable. After a piece, the giant sheep saw the right time, a charge against the back of the monster's head, locked it between the two horns, and could no longer escape by drilling a hole.

"Shalin! Pour the spice!" The Grey Eagle just put down the gerbil and changed back into a human form. Seeing that the monster could no longer move, he issued an order in a hurry.

A gray-green silhouette flashed onto the back of the black goat, grabbed the rucksack on his shoulders, trying to find the only deadly breathing hole along the horns, but was suddenly stunned.

"Captain! This one has armor!" She turned her head and shouted, her expression anxious, it was the very unfriendly female player.

Armor? Grey Eagle couldn't help but froze. He had never encountered a ground-falling dragon with armor on his breathing hole. Seeing that the giant beast was struggling more and more, he knew that the opportunity was fleeting, so he immediately wrinkled his brows and drank: "Flash Open, let me come!" He changed into a giant eagle and flew up to the top of the rock, his sharp eyes fixed on the dead spot on the side of the monster's brain, and when Shalin jumped away, he brought his wings together, accelerated by gravity, and used the boat. The anchor-like iron hook was straight down.

The sharp stone hitting sounded suddenly, and a fist was cracked on the armor outside the breathing hole. Due to the severe pain, the ground dragon slammed its whole body, raised its neck and let out a thunderous roar from its abdomen, and shook it wildly. His body was so powerful that he threw away two giant bears weighing no less than several tons. As soon as it lost its restraint, its tail bent and hit the entangler in the middle. The python's not-so-hard scales were gradually shattered, and the blood continued to gush out. Finally, it had to give up its restraint, and was thrown away by it. On the rock wall. Only the giant goat was still struggling to support it, holding its head, but it was also trembling all over, and all four hooves were sunken in the rock formation.

"Hold on the iron rope! Pour the spices!" The gray eagle flew to the giant python and turned into a human form, and shouted anxiously, watching the fainted giant python turn back into a black man with bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He greeted Yuno who was running quickly.

The two giant bears rushed forward and tried to hold the chain, trying to secure the giant beast. But when Shalin jumped to the horns again and tried to pour the spices into the wound, the monster seemed to perceive the crisis, and rolled over again, accidentally hiding the crack in the middle of the horns, making the female team stunned for a while.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Rhea could no longer stay out of the crowd, jumped out of the crowd, jumped to the back of the giant goat, pulled Shalin and threw it back, covered the monster's body with her hand, and urged her divine power to pour out. Countless ice spread rapidly with the blue light, freezing most of the ground-growing dragon's body in the ice block, and finally unable to move.

"Bag!" An ice blue light flashed in her eyes, and Shalin shook her whole body, and quickly threw the spice backpack over. Rhea reached out and caught a lot of it, squeezed a lot in, mixed with ice crystals and condensed into a sharp thorn, pierced into the crack hole at the corner bayonet, and filled it up.

"Rewind!" She grabbed the female player backhand, and jumped out of the sinkhole on the goat's back. The giant sheep squirted rough air to push forward with all his strength and then withdrew, two big jumps up to the pit mouth, immediately fell to the ground due to the loss of strength and kept twitching, and transformed back into a human form in the gray light.

When the two giant bears also dropped the iron ropes to hide out of the pit, Rhea dissipated all his supernatural powers. The irritating smell that burst out instantly caused the Grizzly Dragon to shook his body with pain, and slapped the bottom of the pit with a sound The bomb burst, layer upon layer echoing in the hole. But it didn't take long before its huge curled and tumbling body suddenly stood in a straight line, bounced like a dead bug, and spiraled into the top of the rock with several layers of iron ropes. The rumbling roar passed through the cave, and then there was no sound.

Such an unexpected change made the guards stare blankly. In the past, as long as the spice was poured, it would not take long to prepare to see the black light appear. How can there be this hand escape today! ? Rhea looked at the dark hole above her head, and she was astonished: whether it was the armor that was reborn on the breathing hole or the weird escape at the last moment, the unusual performance of this groundbreaking dragon might still be the faceless one behind. Trick...

She was frowning and contemplating, she suddenly heard a roar from outside the cave, and the alarm bell in her head rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

Grey Eagle's reaction was no slower than hers. The two ran out of the cave immediately afterwards, and heard the roar of monsters of varying severity in the mountains, one after another, without knowing where it came from. For a moment, they were so deterred by the surrounding symphonic neighing sound, they stayed in place and did not dare to act rashly.
