Gusts of wind blew past her hair, carrying with it the strength of the high altitude. It made her feel as if she would be lifted up by the wind if she jumped out. The earth spread out far and wide under their feet, extending to the end of the horizon. The wide rock valley gradually turned into a pale yellow.
If there was no white mist above her head and no pink and warm skin beneath her feet, Lin Sanjiu would have thought that this was a pretty good experience.
She was sitting in the palm of the giant hand. As the God walked, his body swayed up and down. Her heart sank.
The elder brother's limp body lay next to her. He did not receive any special treatment. Lin Sanjiu glanced at him and adjusted herself to a less uncomfortable position. She sat down and looked at the ground beneath her feet with a heavy heart.
Perhaps the God wanted to leave Lin Sanjiu for the duoluozhong to kill, so he was very careful with his movements. He clenched his fist and didn't use too much force so that Lin Sanjiu's upper body could be seen through the gap between her thumb and index finger. However, the loosely clenched fist made it impossible for her to escape.
No, perhaps it was not because of the fist that she couldn't escape. Lin Sanjiu didn't want to escape at all.
The moment she was caught in the God's palm, she immediately struggled violently. She even prepared her ability. Faced with such a huge God, her [A Twinkle in the Sky] might not be able to send him flying due to her limited Potential Growth Value. However, [Mosaic Censorship] was a different story.
Just as she tucked her brother's body under her arms and freed her hands, the God suddenly raised his palm. She lost her balance and fell on his palm. When she turned around, she saw two patches of brown skin not far from her. They were covered with fine vertical lines. The God had lifted them to the side of his mouth.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu thought that he was going to eat them like the Giants did in the legends. Indeed, the dark brown lips were slowly opening.
When she flipped over, she immediately pressed her hands on the pink skin that was covered with palm wrinkles. Just then, the God spat out a foul stench from his mouth. It was as if he had been holding it for a long time. Accompanied by the foul stench, she heard the God say in a deep voice, "You don't want to escape."
Lin Sanjiu pressed her hands on the skin without any resistance, but nothing happened. The moment before she touched God, she subconsciously turned off her ability.
She opened her mouth slightly and stared at her hands blankly. "Huh?"
Lin Sanjiu's mind was still very clear. Whenever she thought about where the God was going to take her, her heart would slowly sink into her stomach. However, for some reason, whenever her thoughts were related to "escape", she would be forcefully cut off by some unknown force. It was as if someone had dug that thought out of her mind. No matter how hard she tried, she could not think about it.
After trying twice, her face turned red, and her mind started to think about all kinds of desserts and pastries. She couldn't even think about it, so naturally, she couldn't do anything.
Lin Sanjiu could only sit there in a daze and let the God take her away. She tried to guess the identity of Brother Potato, the missing grand prize, and the fact that the cat doctor loved luncheon meat, but if he ate too much of it, his fur would become tarnished. When the thought popped up in her mind, she realized that she was trying to escape again.
The God with brown lips walked for a while before he suddenly stopped in front of a forest. Lin Sanjiu was so shocked that she swayed. When she saw the forest beneath her feet, her heart skipped a beat. She wondered if this was the direction that her grand prize had gone. She looked down and studied her surroundings carefully. However, she was now sitting high in the sky, and all she could see were dense and lush treetops. They formed a sea of green. She stared at them for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out if she had been here before.
"I can't see anything from this height," Lin Sanjiu couldn't help grumbling.
What Lin Sanjiu didn't expect was that the moment she said those words, she could feel her line of sight descending. From the forest far below her, she could see nothing but the trees covering the horizon. Then, she could see that the ground was getting closer and closer to Lin Sanjiu. It turned out that the God was squatting down.
"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu let out a sound of confusion. When she turned around, she immediately understood.
Of course, the God didn't squat down because he heard her request.
He sank his knees into the ground and lowered his upper body. His only free hand was on the ground. He crouched quietly in the shadow cast by the forest like a frog. Lin Sanjiu had no idea what he was waiting for.
From this distance, Lin Sanjiu could clearly see the shape of the forest. It was a tropical rainforest that she had never set foot in before. Now that she was looking at it from such a close distance, she couldn't be sure. She kept looking around, wondering if she should wait for her grand prize to appear.
The hot wind flowed through the forest, reminding them of the muddy Amazon River. Occasionally, a few chirps of birds would break the silence. However, Lin Sanjiu had never seen a bird or any animal. There was indeed a muddy river in the forest. It lay motionlessly in front of them.
The God who was holding her was very patient. He didn't even bat an eyelid after such a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Sanjiu couldn't run away, she would have thought that the God was in a state of suspended animation or hibernation.
"Hey, aren't you afraid that they will ask the duoluozhong to kill you?"
Lin Sanjiu whispered to her brother after waiting for a while. The latter was still lying limply on the edge of his thumb and forefinger. His eyes were wide open as he stared at her without blinking.
Just when she was about to say something, she heard a sudden rustling in the distance. Lin Sanjiu immediately turned her head. From her angle, she could see the thick green above the forest stirring violently. Then, a face suddenly appeared from the rustling branches. Broken branches and leaves fell from the face.
It was the face of a female God. Her mouth was protruding like a bird's beak. Her eyes were like two small ink spots that someone had accidentally sprinkled on them. One was tall while the other was low, one was big while the other was small. They were completely asymmetrical. The God with the beak stretched her long neck and turned her head around. The more Lin Sanjiu looked at the face, the more she looked like it didn't belong to a human. Confusion appeared on her face.
The next second, Lin Sanjiu felt she was thrown by a force. She lost her balance. She flew upside down and landed on the ground with a loud thud. She felt a sharp pain in her bones. Then, she heard another person fall not far away from her. She looked up and saw that it was the elder brother.
The God who was holding her just a moment ago had already leaped forward. Like a frog, he pounced on the God with the beak.
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She pushed herself up from the ground and endured the pain to stand up. She wanted to lift her leg again, but the familiar emptiness that seemed to have been hollowed out swept through her mind once again. She did not lift her leg to run. Instead, she stood there in a daze. She remembered a bookstore she had seen in Red Nautilus. The bookstore collected all sorts of strange books from various apocalyptic worlds.
The God with the beak let out a high-pitched shriek and snapped her out of her reverie.
"Over here!" Lin Sanjiu leaped out of the forest and dodged the attack. The entire rainforest began to shake. She looked no smaller than the God with the brown lips. "Over here! He's here! "
Before she could finish her sentence, another face popped out from the white fog in the distance, followed by his shoulders, body, and legs … This new God was like a hanging spider, quickly crawling towards the place where the two were fighting.
It seemed like this was an ambush for the God with the brown lips. Somehow, he had found out about it.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't run away, so she grabbed the elder brother's leg and dragged him into the forest. The tranquility of the rainforest had been completely shattered by the battle between the three Gods. The ground shook, and the trees fell one after another. Someone stomped on the ground, but mud, river water, broken leaves, and broken branches were scattered all over the place. Lin Sanjiu felt a stinging pain on her skin.
"This is not your territory," the God who caught Lin Sanjiu shouted with a thunderous voice, "You lied to me. You lied to the only True God —"
"A True God who doesn't have a territory and relies on sneak attacks?" The God with the beak let out a shrill laugh. "What a joke. The only True God is —"
Lin Sanjiu was about to say "I", but she swallowed the second half of her sentence when she glanced at her allies.
Lin Sanjiu felt a little lucky. If the Gods were to fight each other to the death, wouldn't that be —
Before she could finish this thought, it was dug out and replaced with the memory of the comfortable steam from the last time she took a bath.
However, the God with the beak's next words interrupted Lin Sanjiu's daydream.
"Crocodile, come out!"
Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, she hurriedly turned her head, just in time to see an open mouth slowly floating up from the muddy river behind her. Water dripped from the God's face. He turned his eyes and immediately found Lin Sanjiu.
There was no way for her to run away, and the huge mouth that seemed to cover the sky and the earth was pouncing straight towards her.
