Monster Experience Card 13 Shanliu and Dudu.
Monster Experience Card 13
The door standing in the open space was just a door standing there.
Without any support, it stands upright in the open space.
Shan Liu took a breath and walked around the door several times. She checked the entire top of the mountain more than once and confirmed that there was only this one door standing on the top of the mountain without any support.
It seems very unreasonable and abrupt.
But when I thought about the appearance of this mountain and the abilities of the monsters, I felt that it was just a door without any support, and there didn't seem to be anything to worry about.
So Shan Liu checked his backpack and physical condition, and after making sure that he was fine, he grasped the door handle and gently turned it to push it open.
Without any hindrance, another world unfolded before Shan Liu's eyes.
She didn't even lift her feet, the slowly unfolding world had already accommodated Shan Liu.
The door handle in Shanliu's hand disappeared somewhere, and the door that Shanliu pushed open also disappeared.
Shan Liu turned around in a circle.
There was no summit of Mt. Blade, no steps, no sky so near, no wind blowing.
She stood on a path made of rammed earth and stones, with tangled weeds on both sides. She couldn't see where the road was coming from behind her, and in front of her was a dilapidated village with no one in it.
Just looking up, you can see that the walls of several houses are tilted, and it looks like they may collapse at any time.
You can see dug ditches on the roadside, with clear water flowing through them.
"Where am I...?"
Shan Liu looked at everything in front of him in confusion, feeling as if he had traveled through time.
The appearance of this dilapidated mountain village is extremely rare in the world of monsters. It is hard to see it even in movies, and the architectural style is very unfamiliar.
But when you look into the distance, you can vaguely see a huge figure connecting the sky and the earth behind the distant clouds, like a huge monster made of bones.
Just looking at it made Shan Liu feel frightened, yet there was also a feeling that it was unreal. Even in a dream, he would not necessarily be able to see such a scene.
Shan Liu stood there for a long time, and finally chose to walk back along the dirt and stone path under his feet.
She didn't really want to go into that mountain village; it was creepy just looking at it.
But as Shan Liu walked along the dirt and stone path, he found that the scene in front of him was not right.
How come that deserted mountain village appeared again?
Shan Liu was silent, turned around and walked away, but as he walked he saw the deserted mountain village again.
Shanliu: "..."
Shan Liu felt like he was possessed by evil spirit.
She decided to change her route again. This time she turned a corner and stepped onto the messy grass. The result was...
Shanliu saw the village faster.
And she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the village was closer to her.
Cold sweat broke out on Shanliu's forehead.
Maybe it would be better for her to stay where she was?
Thinking of this, Shan Liu stood still.
This time, she did not see the village while walking, but she saw that the village seemed to be getting closer and closer to her.
Shanliu shook his head to make sure it was not an illusion. The mountain village was "walking" towards it.
After realizing this, Shan Liu turned around and ran away.
But this time her luck was very bad. While running, Shan Liu only passed over a tree, and the ground her foot stepped on was no longer green grass but the gravel road of a dilapidated village.
The sound of footsteps on the ground was obviously not loud, but in the deserted mountain village it sounded particularly harsh to Shan Liu, making it hard to ignore.
Subconsciously, Shan Liu thought, "It's over."
The next moment after this thought came to his mind, Shan Liu discovered that his vision suddenly changed.
Her head fell off her neck.
It was at the same time that the head fell that Shanliu finally saw it.
She saw many "people".
The headless people standing densely on the road in the dilapidated village, and the heads hanging under the eaves, staring at her with wide eyes.
Bursts of laughter came from the mouths of those heads. Shan Liu could not control her body at all. After her head fell to the ground, it flew towards the eaves as if being pulled by something.
don't want……
Shan Liu, who was still conscious, called out in his mind, but it was no use.
No... She doesn't want to disappear...
Don’t…don’t don’t…don’t…
Shan Liu felt her consciousness becoming weaker and weaker. Just before she felt that "herself" was about to disappear, her head was suddenly grabbed by a pair of hands.
"You have terrible luck."
It was a very pleasant sound, but Shan Liu could no longer concentrate.
Shanliu's eyes closed.
Tianyi: "..."
Tianyi shook her head and put Shanliu's head back on her body.
This familiar scene reminded Tianyi of the little guy whose head would always fall off accidentally.
…
Shan Liu suddenly opened his eyes, reached out to touch his neck, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that his head was firmly on his neck.
Tianyi, who was sitting nearby, combed the hair of Tuanzi in his arms and said with a smile, "You're awake."
Shan Liu looked in the direction of the voice, and his eyes widened when he saw Tianyi's face clearly. After a long while, he spoke with a stutter: "Tian... Tianyi?" Tianyi did not spread his wings at this time, nor did he turn on all the special effects, but his existence itself could not be ignored, and Shan Liu would not treat Tianyi as an "ordinary human".
Originally Shan Liu wanted to say it was an SSS-level legendary monster, but it seemed inappropriate to say that in front of Tianyi, so he changed it to calling Tianyi's name.
Tianyi nodded casually, but Shanliu looked at Tianyi up and down with an expression that said, "I am dreaming after all." Finally, he pinched himself hard to make sure it was not a dream, and then he said in a vague manner and tone as if he was walking on cotton: "What happened before? I remember I should have climbed to the top of the mountain, but... I seem to be dead?"
"You did climb to the top of the mountain, and you were the first person to reach the top. It's just that your luck was a little bad."
"Bad luck?" Shan Liu felt like this was not the first time he had heard this sentence.
Tianyi raised his hand and pointed at something far away. "All climbers will be randomly teleported to a certain place here after they reach the top of the mountain and push open the door. Generally speaking, it won't be a very dangerous place, but you are unlucky."
After "opening the door", Shan Liu ran directly to the territory of unspeakable monsters.
Even zombies can't stay in that kind of place, it's basically a "no man's land".
The speed at which mountain willows "die" is also beyond imagination.
Perhaps it is because there are rarely "people" in the territory of the unspeakable monster now, and when they first saw such a living person, they were too excited, so the killing speed was faster than normal.
"monster?"
"Yes, there are many monsters in this world. So you have to be careful. If you die, you will be forced to be teleported back."
"Teleport back" naturally means returning to the world of monsters.
It was only because Shan Liu was the first person to climb to the top of the mountain and her luck was too bad that Tian Yi gave her the privilege of "resurrection".
"...It sounds like a game." This is Shan Liu's feeling, "So I didn't really die?"
Tianyi smiled and didn't respond.
This is a dream world, and it is a dream world that has completed its transformation.
If you die here... you can either truly die or be "resurrected".
"What kind of monster do you want to make a contract with here?" Tianyi asked.
Being able to climb such a high Blade Mountain is enough to explain many things.
However, Shan Liu did not answer Tian Yi's question immediately. Instead, he shook his head after a moment of silence and said, "I am not here to contract a monster."
"What's that for?"
"I..." Maybe Tianyi looked too "friendly", completely different from what she imagined, Shanliu was also quite relaxed at this time, she said what was in her heart, "I want to ask, is it true that monsters will return to their 'mother' after they die? Where is 'mother'? I...I want to go to the monster 'mother' to see Dudu."
"Dudu? That name sounds cute."
Tianyi's words made Shanliu smile. "Yes, I was the one who named Dudu. I was still young at that time, but I hoped that Dudu would grow up to be fat."
"Can you tell me the story of you and Dudu?"
Shan Liu is not a person who likes to get along with others, but in front of Tianyi, she feels as if there is nothing wrong to say. You can't even tell the indifference she shows when interacting with ordinary people.
Shanliu tilted her head slightly, recalling the past between her and Dudu, and her eyes curved.
Shanliu is the child picked up by Dudu.
Many parents will joke with their children, "I picked you up from the trash can."
Shanliu was really picked up by Dudu from the trash can.
It was so small that even its cry was so weak that it was picked up by Dudu who was wandering around looking for food. He was taken back to his nest and raised.
Dudu is a stray cat-shaped monster, and he is not young anymore.
It is not uncommon for monsters to be abandoned due to their old age.
But Dudu is very capable. Even at his old age, he can still find food and raise a baby he found.
Shanliu’s childhood memories are mostly about being with Dudu. She was always very happy when Dudu ran with her clothes in his mouth.
For a long time she thought of herself as a cat, learning how to climb and jump on all fours instead of walking.
She likes Dudu to use his body to wrap around her when they sleep, and likes Dudu to lick her skin.
She still remembers that her childhood wish was to grow soft fur like Dudu, and she thought that was the most beautiful look.
But she could not grow fur and maintained her ugly appearance.
Human society is not as friendly to a child without parents as one might imagine. Dudu took her to hide from place to place, and was very worried about her growing up "healthily".
But the young Shan Liu was very weak among the group of wandering monsters, and in the eyes of humans he was just a homeless child picking up garbage.
If it weren't for Dudu's protection, Shanliu might have died at the hands of some evil-minded humans.
As Shanliu grew older, Dudu began to bring Shanliu into contact with people.
Shan Liu didn’t understand when she was a child, she just felt that Dudu didn’t want her anymore.
Especially after Shanliu was discovered by the people from the welfare home, Dudu disappeared without a trace.
Shan Liu was in so much pain at that time... She didn't even know human language. She could only imitate the sound of "dudu" and kept howling miserably in the orphanage, scaring everyone else in the orphanage.
