Alien Knights

Chapter 260: Secrets of the Kingdom of Shadows (5)

Todd's body has just finished mutating, his clothes have turned into a pile of cloth, the metal scales have not completely receded, and the strengthening muscles are still in a state of excitement.

Meredith, who was sitting next to Rachel, first glanced at Todd's lower body, then squinted at the surging waves of the woman next to him, and blinked: "If you need it, I can avoid it."

Later, she added: "Of course, if you don't mind, I would be more than happy to be an audience."

Todd was taken aback, and later he realized that the other party had misinterpreted his intentions.

"Things are not what you think!" Todd pointed to his clothes and said anxiously: "There are a lot of radioactive minerals buried underground in the Kingdom of Shadows. If you have stayed underground for a long time, these radioactive materials will be contaminated. The skin and clothing will cause continuous damage to the body. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to quickly change the clothes and rinse the body again with clean water!"

Seeing the two women, they still seemed to understand.

Todd jumped anxiously and ran back to the main hall of the temple. Among the materials on the floor, he searched for water sacs, dry cloth, clothes and fur.

Back to the door of the stone room again, he put all the materials in his hand on the ground, and said loudly to Rachel in the room: "Quick! Clean up your body with clean water and put on a set of clean clothes! Meredith, help she!"

After saying this, Todd turned around and returned to the temple hall, took off his clothes all over, first turned out a bag of water, cleaned up the radioactive mineral powder on his body, and then put on a set of unowned clothes.

Todd, who had done all this, waited anxiously for ten minutes in the hall, and finally saw Rachel appeared in the corridor wearing a new suit.

Regardless of the other party’s questions and protests, Todd put her into a sleeping bag made of animal fur, tied the sleeping bag to his back, and took a few necessary daily necessities, walked out of the temple’s gate, and followed the ridge path. Go in the direction of the top of the mountain.

Leaning on Todd's shoulder, Rachel looked at the snow-covered mountains in the distance and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go to the highest altitude in the Kingdom of Shadows. There is the only safe place to stay away from underground radioactive sources."

"Radioactive source?"

Todd knew that to explain this term, a series of special concepts must be involved-"nuclide", "radiation field", "ray"...

In desperation, he explained to Rachel in a relatively simple way: "You can imagine the radioactive source as a huge poisonous gas spore, which emits harmful poisonous gas all the time, which can pollute the surrounding water and soil. And air. If a creature gets too close to it, it will slowly kill the tissues and organs in the body."

"And this gas spore is located in the sacrificial hall, the place where I sat all day and night..." Rachel seemed to finally understand his situation.

Todd stepped deep into the snow and comforted her: "Just stay away from the radioactive source, throw away all the contaminated clothing on your body, and wash your skin. You can rely on the body's natural healing ability, slow Slowly reduce radiation damage."

Rachel's thoughts slowly opened up: "According to this, the water, air, and food in the Kingdom of Shadows are deadly because of the existence of radioactive sources?"

"It should be true."

"Then what about the animals here? Why are they not killed by the radioactive source? Also, those who have passed the trial, they don't seem to be affected by the radiation either."

Regarding these questions about Rachel, Todd has a vague answer in his mind, and all of this may be related to the legendary "tyrant". But without real evidence, this is just a guess.

Climbing along the path to the top of the mountain, the wind and snow are getting heavier and harder.

The fatigue caused by the mutation and the blizzard raging weather made Todd's footsteps slower and slower.

Pulling Rachel on his back tightly behind him, Todd used his body as a barrier to block the wind and snow; he looked back at the way he had come.

If it is just to stay away from the radioactive source, reaching this height should be enough. The key now is to find a suitable shelter.

A clear call from the sky made Todd look up.

A griffin, holding its prey with its claws, staggered in the snowstorm and fell into the snow not far away.

Seeing this scene, Todd grinned.

The problem is solved.

Carrying Rachel, walked for ten minutes in the direction where the Griffin landed.

Todd found a hidden hole under the snow in the sky.

Bibi is big and small, but only one person is tall and wide.

Carefully stepping on the snow under his feet, Todd jumped into the hole, first checked carefully, and after confirming that there was no threat, he dragged Rachel out of his sleeping bag and put it on the ground.

"Walk behind me, try not to make any noise." While using the power of "Night Vision" to observe the surrounding terrain, Todd led Rachel to the depths.

The cave is narrow outside and wide inside, with a ventilated opening at the top, making it an excellent place to stay.

Along the way, there were no traces of radioactive ore, which made Todd breathe a sigh of relief; but the biological skeletons all over the floor made him nervous again.

Turning a corner, Todd and Rachel, finally saw the owner of the cave-two male and female griffons, and their three eggs.

The male griffin entered the invader for the first time. While warning his spouse loudly, he rushed forward to face the enemy with his body.

With the faint light in the cave, Todd and Griffin had a face-to-face encounter, and each person and the beast were stunned.

It turned out that this griffon was the hapless ghost who was driven away by Todd in the barbarian tribe.

Todd was a little embarrassed, and raised his hand to say hello to the opposite griffon: "Ha, the world is so small..."

With the new hatred and the old hatred, the male griffon yelled angrily, and flew towards the air, aiming his sharp beak at the top of Todd's head.

Seeing the latter unhurriedly stretched out his hand and knocked, the male griffon was immediately knocked off by a huge force and hit the rock wall heavily.

Ten minutes later, Todd placed Rachel in a place leeward, and took a closer look at the goat that was brought back by the griffon by the campfire that had just risen.

Turning over the prey that had already been pecked through his throat, Todd pointed to the mark next to the goat’s tail and said to Rachel: “Look at this, this goat should not be a creature in the Kingdom of Shadows, it may belong to Southern University 6. Some village on the top."

Rachel nodded and agreed with this view: "Yes, when we met last time, it was hunting among the barbarian tribe."

Todd turned his head and glanced at the griffon couple who shrank in the corner of the cave: "In other words, this sheep should be safe to eat and not contaminated by radioactive sources."

After roasting the lamb and sprinkling it with the salt, Rachel first swallowed a piece, and after confirming that it was all right, he feasted on it.

Looking at the invading humans, occupying their homes and eating their own food, the male griffon griefs from his heart, flapping his wings and screaming.

Todd looked back at the "couple", thought for a while, and threw a half of the roast lamb along with some dried fruit.

After people and beasts were satisfied, the sound of the wind and snow outside the cave gradually dimmed, and the light gradually dimmed.

Adding some dead branches to the firepit, Todd looked at Rachel, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and what worries him was, what should I do in the future?

Under the mountain environment, if Rachel were allowed to live again, it would be tantamount to chronic suicide.

However, staying in the cave on the top of the mountain is not a long-term solution.

The day-to-day rushing, coupled with the fatigue after relaxation, made Todd let go of this problem for a while, and slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he was awakened from his dream by a strange growl.

Opened his eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ Todd saw the griffon couple staring at the entrance of the cave, looking like an enemy.

Turning his gaze to the entrance of the cave, a huge visitor, the shadow on the wall, grew longer and longer. Todd awakened the sleeping Rachel and motioned her to hide behind him.

In the end, a acquaintance of Todd walked into the cave-the manticore that he had given up execution.

Looking at this monster, stepping on the bones on the ground, completely ignoring the existence of the griffin, slowly walked in front of him, knelt on the ground, and stretched his head towards him.

Todd immediately understood the other party's intentions.

The creature that once pulled him into another soul world wants to talk to him in this way.
