1474 Communication
Restore the desert in the twilight, and the sound of the breeze flowing between the dunes is like a sob, which makes people feel a little sad after listening to it for a long time...
Especially when facing a phantom butterfly that has no offensive ability, but has been imprisoned for a long time and is as beautiful as an elf.
Even though it is a creature from the underworld, it is too beautiful...
Thinking like this, Raymond couldn't help but become a little distracted, but Netherland Butterfly, who was sitting opposite him, coughed and gave an appropriate reminder to bring him back to his senses.
It took a whole day to translate the language used by Phantom Butterfly through chip analysis, but Raymond was able to understand everything he said.
This phantom butterfly named 'Jima' has been plundered here for several years according to the time of the underworld. Because of its beautiful dancing posture and clear singing voice, it has become a symbol of the world.
The prisoners of the wraith of sand in this desert, and their hunting tools.
Jima, who lives in the village of her tribe, wanted to paddle across the river alone. However, she was kidnapped on her way back to the village to fulfill her wish, and was eventually captured by the resentful sand spirit entrenched in this desert.
captivity.
"I fell into a coma after being caught. Although I survived in the end, I also lost my freedom. I had to follow the requirements of the Sand Wraith to attract those prey to come here and become the food of the Sand Wraith..."
The phantom butterfly, which was particularly ignorant, finally cried out when telling the reason for its appearance here after Raymond used its language to communicate, and the colorful and gorgeous wings tightly wrapped around its body also trembled slightly.
.making it look even more pitiable.
After listening to Jima's description of his village, Raymond waited until it calmed down a little before continuing to ask. "How big is the village of Phantom Butterfly? Why did the Sand Wraith attack when it was far away from the village?"
?”
Perhaps because she felt that the person in front of her was not malicious, Jima looked confused when she heard this question. After thinking for a while, she said, "Because I am still young, I was captured by the Sand Wraith in a sneak attack. If it
If you dare to break into the village, the clansmen will immediately seal it! Except for those particularly powerful resentful spirits that will cause harm to us, no one dares to break into our village..."
After finishing speaking, Jima was still very puzzled when she saw Raymond. However, after knowing that Raymond was not a creature from the underworld, Jima suddenly began to introduce the situation of the Phantom Butterflies in detail.
It turns out that they are not wandering creatures as claimed by the Siren tribe, but are gregarious underworld creatures.
Large villages will have hundreds of phantom butterflies, while small groups must have more than thirty to ensure the safety of their group.
But the Phantom Butterflies really don't have any means of attack. The sonic-type shock wave they possess was already their most powerful attack when they were young.
"The talents possessed by the older tribesmen can prevent our village from being attacked, and those who dare to intrude will be deceived by the phantom sound and lose the ability to resist. So as long as the village is not attacked by extremely powerful evil spirits,
. Generally speaking, there is no problem with safety..."
The phantom butterflies, which have bodies similar to ordinary carbon-based creatures, survive by absorbing the dark energy of the underworld, but the blooming flowers of the underworld plants they cultivate are their real food source.
The highly toxic phosphorus powder on the wings of the adults of the Phantom Butterfly Clan is due to the toxins contained in the various flowers they have eaten for a long time. This also makes their protective capabilities particularly outstanding, and they are qualified to leave the village.
.
"Every Phantom Butterfly needs to travel after adulthood, and can only return after collecting poisonous plants that have not been cultivated in the tribe. So the situation you mentioned before comes from this..."
As for the phantom butterfly mentioned by Raymond that would roam freely in the underworld, Gemma laughed out loud before explaining it.
And this crisp and sweet laughter is like a clear spring, which is very refreshing and makes the whole body feel comfortable.
Raymond, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him, understood a lot of things at this time.
The vastness of the underworld is likely to exceed his original expectations.
As for the Phantom Butterflies, although none of them have the ability to attack, their talents allow them to live relatively freely in the underworld, and they cultivate various poisonous underworld plants.
, has also become an important resource needed by some forces in the underworld, thereby providing them with appropriate protection.
The only difference from what was previously guessed is that there are also forces in the underworld.
Creatures in the underworld such as ghosts and ghosts gather together to form their own territory. Generally speaking, only those who have been expelled and have excessive evil thoughts will be wandering around.
Resentful spirits, evil spirits and other creatures that are aggregation of evil thoughts are controlled by the most powerful resentful spirits. They are mortal enemies with ghost-type creatures. They are naturally hostile to each other and regard each other as food.
Regional underworld creatures, such as the Wraith of Sand and the Vine of the Dead, do not have certain affiliations. They are just like low-level souls that wander and hunt in the areas they occupy.
The awakened dead, spell makers, and mottled corruptors that Raymond learned from the old dean Seurat were extremely powerful outsiders, and generally speaking, no one wanted to provoke them.
However, from Jima's narration, Raymond noticed that the classification of creatures in the underworld was extremely confusing.
They are also souls, but they can be classified into ghost-like creatures, they can also be regarded as a kind of resentful spirits, or they can even be regarded as a separate group.
Unfortunately, Gemma's knowledge was limited, and there was no way to answer many of the doubts raised by Raymond. In the end, she blamed everything on the tribesmen who taught her, making Raymond unable to continue to ask questions.
Of course, what surprised Raymond the most was that there was said to be a soul-sacrifice fruit tree at the source of the river next to the village where Jima lived.
Jima just saw that Raymond was a little excited, but she immediately added, "The soul-sacrifice fruit is absolutely not allowed to be picked! Anyone who picks the soul-sacrifice fruit will be punished by the underworld guarding the soul-sacrifice fruit tree.
Domain creatures are chasing and killing them, and this may even lead to some major forces coming forward, leading to the outbreak of serious conflicts!"
Unexpectedly, Jima's reaction was so strong, and Raymond couldn't help but be curious. "Do you know about the soul-sacrifice fruit?"
"Yes, the soul-sacrifice fruit will only fall naturally when it matures. Any early picking will damage the soul-sacrifice fruit tree itself, and it will take a long time for it to bloom and bear fruit again!"
"Why is this so?"
"This...I don't know..."
After saying this, Jima rolled her eyes and suddenly jumped up. "Send me back to my tribe's village. Only the elders of the tribe know these issues!"
With her curved eyebrows and clear face, Gemma looked like she was praying. She was actually extremely beautiful.
But Raymond, who immediately turned away his eyes, felt helpless and dumbfounded.
Although the phantom butterfly named Jima in front of her has a girl-like figure and physical features, the information from the Siren tribe shows that the phantom butterfly itself has no gender distinction at all.
Moreover, their characteristics as creatures of the underworld mean that even if they can be treated as beauties, any excessive contact will lead to the loss of life and is definitely a shortcut to death!
But even though Raymond knew the purpose of Gemma's suggestion, it was difficult to refuse.
Because based on his search alone, it would obviously take a long time to find the location of the soul-sacrifice fruit tree, but with the help of this Phantom Butterfly clansman, he could obviously find the soul-sacrifice fruit tree at the source of the river as quickly as possible.
So after Raymond waited for his mind to calm down, he looked at Jima again and said, "Then where is your village and how long does it take to get there from here?"
Gemma, who was anxiously waiting for the result, was overjoyed, but after looking around, she lowered her head, twisted her fingers in front of her, and said in frustration. "I, I don't know the village either.
