Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 16: Unpalatable
Duan Rui and Lin Yu arrived at the elephant camp by special car.
They lined up and climbed onto a platform, then sat on a chair tied to the elephant's two front limbs with thick hemp ropes.
The elephant driver was barefoot. He stepped on the elephant's trunk and sat on the elephant's neck. He had dark skin and held an elephant hook in his hand.
After Duan Rui and the other man were seated firmly, the mahout ordered the elephant to move forward.
The seat rocked as the elephant moved.
Lin Yu opened his eyes.
He seemed to be standing in a dim corridor, with countless images flashing on both sides of the corridor.
Beep, beep, beep…
When the whistle sounded, he jumped out of bed, changed into training clothes, and trotted out of the corridor with the people around him. Under the scorching sun, they shouted slogans and moved in unison .
Sweat dripped from the corners of his eyes, his ill-fitting suit broke on his body, and he held a flyer in his hand, stuffing it into the hands of passers-by one by one. "There's an event on the first floor of the mall, free tastings, and a chance to win a prize."
Countless faces passed before his eyes.
He stood on the podium and received the medal...
return the goods.
Removed from shelves.
…
The corridor became completely dark and quiet.
He calmed down.
Once again he saw the monster that had taken over his body.
ugly.
Lin Yu observed him.
He saw more details.
The pimples on the skin kept growing and shrinking.
It squirms.
Something like black smoke escaped from the lump and floated out.
He heard the sound of a heartbeat.
His body, his heart was beating.
"Eat it and get your body back."
Jiang You's voice echoed in his ears.
“Eat it.”
Duan Rui placed her hand on Lin Yu's hand, and the black beads on her wrist reflected the sunlight.
She was whispering something, like some kind of spell.
The elephant walked up the mountain step by step.
The seat shook even more.
Eat it!
He saw his hands, which were glowing with a white light.
He reached out and grabbed the monster's hand.
He caught it.
It was very smooth and soft , like a tentacle. He opened his mouth and bit it hard.
The monster saw him.
He was thrown upward and shaken violently.
He held on tightly, bit it, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Rough. Dry. Prickly. My tongue and mouth seem to be cut open.
He's going to eat it.
His mouth became bigger and bigger, and his teeth became sharper...
Duan Rui saw Lin Yu's body twitched, and then he bent over.
"It will be fine soon," she whispered in his ear, "It will be a little uncomfortable to peel it off, just bear with it, it will be fine soon."
Lin Yu looked at Duan Rui.
He tried to speak, but he couldn't.
He raised his hand with an effort and pointed his finger at his body.
The mahout turned his head and asked in English, "Is he feeling unwell?"
“Maybe it’s too crazy.”
"Would you like to take a break?"
"No, let's rest when we get to the top of the mountain."
Duan Rui hugged Lin Yu. Her speech became faster and faster.
Some black mist escaped from Lin Yu's body and floated into the black bead on Duan Rui's wrist.
A white light flickered.
Lin Yu's soul became more and more solid.
The monster began to flee.
Following the guidance of the spell, it rushed out of the body and into the black bead in Duan Rui's wrist.
Lin Yu's body softened and he closed his eyes.
Duan Rui felt the warning it sent through the black bead.
At the same time, Lin Yu opened his eyes.
"You still..." As soon as Duan Rui spoke, Lin Yu reached out and grabbed her neck.
The body is very stiff.
Duan Rui dodged.
She jumped off the chair and put her palms on the elephant's body. A wisp of black mist penetrated into the elephant's body.
The elephant's body shook.
The mahout turned around and saw Duan Rui's body sliding off the elephant. He didn't have time to check on Duan Rui's condition before he felt his partner under him get furious.
The mahout tried to pull its ears with an elephant hook, but the mahout shook its head and threw the mahout to the ground.
Lin Yu fell on the elephant's back.
The elephant's feet stomped down heavily on the ground, and the dirt flew all around. The mahout got up from the ground, looked at the elephant who had lost his mind, turned around, and staggered out.
The elephants nearby became restless.
The mahouts tried hard to control them and took the terrified tourists away.
Lin Yu hugged the elephant's head, his muscles bursting with tension.
I clamped my legs tightly around its neck.
He opened his mouth and breathed deeply.
The elephant shook its head and rushed forward, hitting the trees around it with its long trunk. It was like a hill or a fortress, advancing with overwhelming force.
Gradually rushed into the depths of the dense forest.
His peripheral vision caught sight of Duan Rui.
She stood on a tree.
The moment their eyes met, she jumped down from the tree and rolled to the ground with him.
Her strength suddenly became extremely strong again.
He turned his head and saw the elephant turn around and sweep its huge trunk towards them.
He turned his head and bit Duan Rui's neck. She loosened her grip on his hand a little, and he hugged her and rolled down the mountain.
Duan Rui grabbed a stone halfway and smashed it hard on Lin Yu's head.
Lin Yu’s eyes went dark for a moment.
When Duan Rui tried to hit him a second time, he blocked it with his hand and grabbed the beads on her wrist with his other hand.
pain.
Touching its skin and flesh felt like it was peeling off.
He held back.
Duan Rui tried to pull his hand away.
He held it tightly.
Finally, the rope broke.
The bead fell to the ground. Duan Rui reached out to grab it, but Lin Yu did not give her a chance and they rolled down for a distance.
Duan Rui's strength weakened.
When Lin Yu was about to struggle free, Duan Rui spat out a mouthful of blood at Lin Yu's face and used his last bit of strength to punch him in the face.
Then he grabbed his neck.
She sat up slightly, with one leg on the ground and the other on his chest.
His facial features were distorted due to the force.
He stared at her unwillingly.
"After you die, they will pay compensation, a lot of money," Duan Rui said, panting. "Don't worry, I will pay out the salary and make arrangements for the people."
"If you die, everyone will be fine."
"Go and die in peace."
His eyes gradually closed.
Duan Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a rough hand grabbed her hand.
She didn't have time to react, her fingers were pulled apart, and Lin Yu's elbow hit her chest hard, and blood rushed to her throat.
He grabbed her neck and turned her body over.
She opened her mouth and tried to speak, but Lin Yu punched her hard on the temple.
One punch and another.
She saw his eyes, blood red and fierce.
Blood was oozing from her eyes, nose, ears and mouth.
Lin Yu grabbed her head and was about to hit it when he heard an earth-shaking sound.
The elephant, having lost its mind, rushed towards him. He let go and tried to roll to the side.
He saw the thick legs stepping on her body.
Then step towards him.
He closed his eyes, waiting for the pain and the end.
The tropical sun burned on his skin.
He heard the sound of waves not far away.
The heart is very calm.
The expected pain and end did not come.
He opened his eyes in confusion.
The elephant stands.
Duan Rui was lying on the side covered in blood.
He looked to the side.
He saw a baby elephant with a little boy sitting on its back. A slightly plump man was standing by, holding the hemp rope tied to the baby elephant and looking at him kindly.
