Unspeakable bubbles

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump.

The increasingly rapid heartbeat revealed the girl's unease; she dared not continue walking.

"Mountain, Lord Mountain God"

"There's fruit in the basket, it's delicious!"

"Reiko, put it here."

"If you're hungry, then... then you can eat by yourself!"

The girl threw down her basket, ignoring the fruit that had fallen to the ground, and ran out of the cave.

"It's so dark, so scary, Reiko will never go in again."

"Mom!" the girl cried as she ran out of the cave.

Just then, with a clear whistling sound, a wave of heat surged out of the cave.

Caught off guard, the girl was swept away by the heat wave and tumbled down the mountain.

Section 587, Chapter 586: The Awakening Mountain God

"Help, help me..."

"Someone, someone, please help me..."

When Reiko woke up from her coma, she felt a burning pain in her head and back.

Not only does it hurt, but it's also incredibly hot around me!

Reiko managed to open her eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

Fire!

Looking around, it seemed as if the entire mountain was ablaze.

A fire on the mountain is a terrible thing. We must, we must put out the fire... No, everyone must run away quickly!

The girl managed to stand up, but then felt dizzy and fell back to the ground.

I touched my head; when I rolled down, I must have hit my forehead on something and it was bleeding.

And, the back...

The slightest touch with my finger caused excruciating pain; it seemed as if my back was covered in blisters.

"It hurts so much!"

'Can't stand up'

"Smoke, so much smoke, I can't breathe!"

'Am I...am I dying?'

The girl sat on the ground, completely overwhelmed by fear, unable to even cry for help.

Just then, a 'fire man' covered in flames rushed past the girl and ran straight towards the cave.

"It's on fire! My clothes are on fire!"

"Will I catch fire too?"

With a strength she didn't know she had, Reiko stood up again.

Her legs trembled as she stared blankly at the fire figures running past her.

Where are we going, everyone?

My body was on fire, and there was no water on it!

"No, don't go."

"There's no water up there."

"..."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Reiko cried out in terror, "Mom and Dad, where are you!"

Could it be that you guys also...

With that thought in mind, the girl gritted her teeth and, too, staggered toward the cave.

...................................................................................................

The cave was surrounded by a large number of people dressed as fire figures, as if all the mountain people had gathered together.

Their bodies were burning, but they felt no pain.

Everyone was twisting and turning wildly in front of the cave, jumping and leaping as if they were celebrating some major festival.

"dad--"

"Mother--"

Upon seeing this, the girl broke down in tears: "Where are you? Stop! Don't dance!"

"Stop! Go find some water..."

As they shouted, a delicious aroma of meat suddenly wafted over.

She felt nauseous and immediately vomited profusely.

"vomit"

"Stop jumping!"

"Stop jumping..."

"Ugh, no, no..."

The bizarre and frenzied dance went on for an unknown amount of time. Reiko watched helplessly as the fire-men fell one by one until, in the end, she was the only one left standing in front of the cave.

"..."

Why did it turn out this way?

Mingming was perfectly fine before we set off!

The girl tried to shout, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

My whole body was stiff, and my heart felt like it had stopped beating.

Something terrifying is staring at me!

High in the sky, a giant black bird was watching the girl with great interest.

These little guys are quite interesting. When I started recovering from my injury, they would bring me food that I didn't really like every now and then.

Occasionally, when they're in a bad mood, after eating one or two of these little guys, they actually feed them more frequently.

Close your eyes and sleep for a while, then open them and there will be food.

Not only is it convenient, but the little ones have also gradually figured out what they like to eat.

For example, wild berries, and what they call 'eggs'.

Over time, I actually got used to this lazy lifestyle.

but……

This only applies until my injuries have fully healed!

After being woken up by a little one, I originally wanted to eat her on the spot.

But to its surprise, it discovered that when it woke up this time, its injuries had completely healed!

Overwhelmed with excitement, it immediately flew out of the place where it had been recuperating for many years.

It feels so good to fly freely!

"..."

"........."

It was just a mistake that burned down the mountain, and after those little guys danced for themselves, most of them died.

He was constantly enjoying the food the little ones were feeding and was even worshipped as a 'mountain god'.

To be honest, I feel quite embarrassed that I accidentally brought about this disaster.

But who can blame them when the little ones are so fragile! Both their bodies and minds are so easily broken.

I also have some followers in the Chaos Sea. I thought they were already pitifully weak, but I didn't expect there to be even more pitiful ones here.

'At least, one remains.'

If they all die, then it will simply leave.

If there's only one left...

Considering how well the little ones have taken care of me over the years, I'll reluctantly accept one as a companion.

A black feather fell from the sky and floated to the girl's side in an instant.

Before she could react, crimson flames ignited on the black feathers.

Burning, feathers?

Reiko stared blankly at it. The next moment, the flames suddenly expanded several times, engulfing the girl completely.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Amidst heart-wrenching screams, the impurities within the girl's body were burned away, and her 'aptitude' gradually improved.

What followed was an unbearable feeling of hunger...

..............................................................................

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

She suddenly sat up straight in bed, her eyes bloodshot.

She seemed possessed, waving her hands wildly in the air.
