Chapter 677: Runes and Magic Wells(1/3)

Mia woke up from bed and found herself in that strange and strange world again.

Above the head are drooping tree vines and fireflies tied with twine. This method of using bugs to emit light is a unique local lighting method.

Mia walked out of the tree house and pushed open the thick vines hanging at the door. Below were layers of intertwined tree trunks, each of which could accommodate one or two people walking. Children ran and jumped nimbly on the trees, like

Like a monkey, it clings to tree vines to climb and swing flexibly.

There is a faint fishy smell in the air.

She looked up at the sky.

It was night at this time, and the stars were shining in the sky, but they were dim and sparse, far less clear than the ones over in the Resurrection Kingdom.

Mia looked down again. Under the magic tree where people lived was a sea of ​​gray-black fog, as if there was a fire burning on the ground and thick smoke was rising.

This is her third time coming to [Dagos].

The first time, Mia thought she was in a dream, causing her to accidentally fall and hurt her leg. The second time she entered, she read the few books and wooden inscriptions in the village, and asked the village elders about it.

This world beyond the stars is understood.

"Sydney, are you awake?"

The person who greeted her was a smiling old woman who looked to be about seventy or eighty years old. The old man was hunched over and holding a cane with a non-slip hook.

Mia said: "I just woke up, Granny Qiao."

In this world, the body Mia uses belongs to a girl named Sydney, and her identity is a hunter.

"We no longer have enough dried fruits and water, and the leaves of the magic tree are inedible. The children are very hungry. Can you please go hunting outside?"

Granny Qiao said: "Although your injury has not recovered, I let you go out... but the food reserves are really insufficient. Winter will come soon, and it will be harder to go out then."

"good."

Mia agreed immediately.

"Old Jero is going with you, be careful."

Mia nodded.

As the only four hunters in the village, every time they go hunting is a journey of life and death. Shucun requires two hunters to act together to look after and rescue each other.

Back in the treehouse, Mia started to pack her bags.

Hunter's tools include ropes, hooks, masks, hunting knives and war bows.

The hook line consists of a hook and a special rope, which is tied to the hunter's arm and can be shot into the tree trunk from a long distance at any time, so that the hunter can grab the rope and swing to the next landing place.

The mask is composed of multiple layers of linen and herbal medicine to reduce the inhalation of "dead air".

Hunters need to enter the lower level of the tree village to hunt. The place close to the ground is filled with death and monsters are everywhere. If humans stay there for a long time, they will suffer from convulsions, bleeding from the mouth and nose, or even coma and death.

It is also because of this that people live higher and higher to stay away from the dead energy that is constantly pouring out and rising from the ground.

A hunting knife is forearm long, with a thick back and a curved hook at the tip. This structure is convenient for chopping, dividing food and materials, and can also dig things between soil and rocks.

Mia's war bow is made of elm wood. This is only for women, while men use ash wood.

These two types of wood can carry the power of [Rune Runes].

According to the experience of generations of people, the wood that is most suitable for women is elm, and the wood that best brings out the strength of men is ash.

After taking inventory and packing up, Mia tied on the backpack used to carry the prey and walked out of the tree house.

Old Jero is already fully armed and waiting outside.

He has gray beard and hair and is still forty years old. The children in Shu Village call him Old Jero.

In this world called [Dagos], people's life span is usually less than fifty years old. Old Jero is indeed an old man. There are very few people who live as long as Granny Qiao. The old people of the same period as her have been around for a few years.

All died ten years ago.

"Go and worship God first."

Jero led Mia all the way to a wide area in the tree. Here was a huge tree branch with a statue of a god standing in the center. Several old people were kneeling in front of it and chanting words.

Hunters will worship the gods before going out to pray for good luck.

Mia is no stranger to this, because the Yao people also have such rituals and customs.

Everyone will worship Yao first, and then pray to other gods according to different tendencies and fields.

Some people worship the White God to pray for wealth, some believe in King Wuji in the hope of gaining favor from the earth, some pray to the God of Ju for wisdom, some praise the King of Light, some admire the Marshal of Long Cavalry, and some

People are in awe of billions of incarnations...

All tree villages in [Dagos] believe in [The Thousand-Faced God].

Mia stood in front of the statue, staring ahead.

The God of Many Faces sits on a tall throne. He wears a broad-brimmed hat with wide wings on both sides.

There was a large crow on each of His left and right shoulders. The beaks of these two birds were facing His ears, as if they were whispering to the gods. Two wolves lay at His feet, and these two beasts were scanning all directions loyally.

The God of Thousand Faces holds a spear in his hand and looks down at the world from his throne. His blurry face cannot tell whether it is contempt, majesty or coldness.

Jero knelt in front of the wooden statue of the god: "O omnipotent God with a Thousand Faces, please give us good luck. May we harvest prey this time and return safely."

When in town, do as the Romans do.

Mia also prayed like the old hunter.

This [God of Many Faces] is the only god in [Dagos], but in local history, it has never appeared since the [Cataclysm].

According to oral traditions and wooden board records, a long time ago, people still lived on the ground, and every large settlement had a magic well. Residents could use magic bottles to fill magic energy to provide heating and cooking for each household.

, and drive [Rune Rune].

Two giant crows fly around the world every day, and then report without reservation what they see and hear to the God of Many Faces - the two birds on the shoulders of the statue.

It was the most glorious golden age of [Dagos], when gods shrouded the sky, everything competed, and everything was full of vitality.

One ordinary day later, the giant crow disappeared from the sky and never appeared again.

The gods never responded.

In the long and fearful godless era, people ushered in a catastrophe. The blowout of the underground magic well filled the world with monsters, and the air of death covered the entire earth.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to avoid monsters and death, some people climbed up the big trees that grew crazily in the overflowing magic well, while others drilled deep underground.

Even so, the Dagoth people still believe in the God of Many Faces.

They believe that one day in the future, He will return like lightning. The departure of the Thousand-faced God is to test the bravery and tenacity of the Dagos people, and when He returns, the whole world will rebuild its glory and become a new world.

Be stronger than ever.

In the past, the God of Many Faces showed kindness and love to this place, and the runes were the treasures he gave.



Mia followed the old hunter Jero as he jumped using tree vines and hooks, and kept landing under the tree.

Originally, Mia was not good at wild climbing. She was a student at United Friendship University, where she mainly studied mathematics and astronomy and studied under the famous demon lecturer Yuan Qing.

The owner of this body, Xue Li, is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her physical fitness is amazing. She has both strength and flexibility. She is not far behind those athletes trained by Kua Fu Chai Sun.

Whether walking or running, it is more about the body's inertia. Mia only needs to follow the body's muscle memory.

As for the shortcomings, it is that Sydney's mind works too slowly.

In the past, Mia could immediately calculate mathematical problems or various derivation based on conditions, but it was particularly difficult to calculate with this body.

Xue Li's talents are all physical, and her hands are faster than her brain.

Old Jero warned: "Xueli, you still need to use your legs carefully, although you always recover quickly. But try not to fight those monsters hand-to-hand, use a battle bow, and don't get close."

Mia nodded: "I still feel that my body is not working well. You can do archery later."

"That's fine."

According to Grandma Qiao and others, Xue Li is a cheerful, talkative and courageous hunter. They were very surprised by the taciturn Xue Li after being injured. The villagers could not imagine that the person in this body came from a distant place.

Another person in the world.

Two hunters entered the hunting area, pulled up the masks around their necks, and found a hidden area to search for prey.

There is already gray fog lingering here, and the visibility is much lower than before.

After waiting for a while, a shadow came not far away.

The two hunters remained motionless.

The visitor stopped and looked around from time to time. It slowly approached and its face was revealed.

It was a large lizard with gray cuticles. It was about the length of two adults. Its limbs were crawling on the ground. There was a single horn that curved upward at the tip of its nose.

It's [Horned Lizard].

Good luck.

The horned lizard is a less dangerous prey. It is not afraid of toxins, has rough skin and thick flesh, and is an irresistible natural enemy to most insect monsters. But for the hunters of Dagoth, as long as they can hit its eyes

, you can get prey.
