Shadow Code - C9

” “Pock, wait!” I called out to the pockmark in front of me.

” “San-zi, San-zi, what the hell!”

“Impossible! You did all this in the blink of an eye! Even if the opponent was running, he wouldn’t be this fast, unless he was light!”

” “What is this?” As the pockmarks peeled away some of the leaves, something could be clearly seen on the tree trunk.

” “How come there wasn’t such a strange thing in the forest before? Did it start in the past few days? Or was it that I’ve never been in the woods before? Do these things seem so common to you?”

” Maybe what we saw just now wasn’t someone’s eye, I wasted two bullets, but didn’t want to talk about it, it seems like I shot something useful away! ” The pockmark strangely moved away from the symbol, searching for something on the ground.

” “What do you mean, what do you mean?”

” “Look again, I hope this isn’t the only one!” I don’t understand what pockmarked man is saying.

” “Let’s go. Remember, when you feel like you have eyes again, you must tell me!”

I was at a loss. The pockmarks had already crossed the grass and returned to the fork in the road.

” “What on earth are you thinking about? What was that just now?” I asked as I walked.

” I saw that the tree trunk had a lock on it. I can’t guarantee that the thing that was shot out was not the eye, it was the key! ”

” “Damn, it can’t be, boasting all the way to the wolf’s bottom, this is too unreliable, there’s a lock on the trunk and a key on the leaves, which means that some thousand years old immortal locksmith died and buried this place, his spirit was touched by the soil, such a tree grew out!”

” “If I had known better, I would have told you that in the recent few years, you were obviously too normal in the shop. Let me tell you, San-zi, there are some places where you can just think about unreliable things and you’ll be right. If you think normally, then you won’t even know how you died!” The pockmarked man walked and talked.

” Blood, Blood Amber, could it be the legendary Blood Amber? ” It was unknown whether it was due to fright or excitement. The two rows of smoke-stained gums in his mouth were beating up and down, and even his cheeks were twitching.

” What? “Amber, is that something made from pine resin?”

” “Yes, I am talking about that amber. You know what amber means, it doesn’t mean what you think it literally means. When the amber was formed, it happened to meet with blood. No, amber is directly secreted oil from the tree!”

” “Damn, what kind of tree is it that can secrete this kind of stuff?”

” Do you know about Cage Grass? If you specialize in eating insects, there’s a tree, eating humans, or animals. In short, if you eat anything that contains blood, it will secrete some blood resin! ”

” “What the hell, then this tree is?”

” This is definitely not a tree, because this amber did not come out from here. It should be someone.

” How do you know? ”

” The man-eating tree is not like this. Look, what’s this place? ” With just a little effort, the pockmark tore the pair of eyes off the tree trunk mountain and held them up higher. Under the sun, there was something inside.

” I said, it might be a key, do you believe me? ”

” Keep bragging, how is this like a key? ”

” If you think so, currency, every historical period, culture is different, currency is also different, then what about the key? “Of course it’s different. If you think about our current keys, that’s limited. If this tree can find a symbol, I would bet that there’s a key to the lock!”

” The value of keys and locks is nothing more than a pair. If we can open the amber, take it out, and put it together, will we be able to discover anything? ” I took the one in the pockmark’s hand and touched it. It was warm and lovely, and I couldn’t tell what it was made of from, but it was darker than Amber’s own red.

” We have already thought about it. There are some things that are hard to deal with once they are opened! ” The pockmark hesitated.

” How about, we throw rocks! ”

” Throw away the ready-made amber, and if this is the face that falls into your palm, we will continue. As long as it is not any face of this face, we will give up and continue on our way. We will pretend that we did not see this thing! ” Pockmark suggested.
