One Piece: The Long Road

Vol 3 Chapter 25: Red Light

.

The distance of a few meters is not far, only a few steps, but the distance of such a few steps can block the line of sight, and it is impossible to see clearly when there is no approach.

Simon walked to the place pointed by Alex, looked down, and looked slightly stunned.

The small canyon is formed by dividing the mushroom rock into two halves. It is expected that the bottom of the mushroom rock should be sand, but the ground in this small canyon is not sand, but is paved with some uneven blood-red rocks. The road, and on the blood-red ground, Simon saw an irregularly shaped stone about the size of an egg.

Along the way, the blood-red road was very monotonous. Except for the road, there was no extra sand and gravel, so Simon was surprised when he saw a stone under his feet.

Squatting down and picking up the stone, Simon only felt a shady start, took a closer look at the stone in his hand, and found that the egg-sized object was not a stone, but a red transparent crystal. The color of the upper crystal is exactly the same as the rock on the ground, so it was not visible at first.

“Alex, do you know this thing?” Simon asked Alex, who handed the red crystal in his hand.

When Alex heard the words, he reached out and took the crystal, looked at it carefully, but found that he didn’t recognize the crystal.

“I don’t know this thing.” Alex shook his head. When exploring the desert with his father in the past, it was not that he never found crystals, but this was the first time he encountered such red crystals.

“Really?” Simon took the crystal back into his hand and looked at it carefully.

When Simon was carefully examining the crystal, a faint red light suddenly burst out from the crystal in his hand, especially in the dimly lit canyon. The red light flickered for a while and then disappeared again. The nameless epee and the poppy held in Alex’s arms trembled slightly.

Simon noticed the trembling of the epee for the first time, and his face couldn’t help but change suddenly. Compared with the crystal that flashed a red light, Simon was more concerned about the trembling reaction of the epee.

“Poppy, it’s moving!” Alex was surprised to see a red light bursting out of the crystal, but Poppy’s sudden tremor made him ecstatic and said excitedly.

“Poppy moved?” Simon looked at Alex suspiciously, and at the same time drew the epee on his back into his hand. His own epee had the experience of shaking once, so Simon didn’t feel anything, but the one called Poppy The knife would also vibrate on its own, which surprised Simon.

“Yeah.” Alex held Poppy in front of him and said happily, “Poppy suddenly trembled just now.” As he spoke, the joyful expression turned to doubt, “It’s just that Poppy is clearly moving, but why do I Still can’t feel the idea of it.”

Simon was silent, did not speak, but frowned and thought about why the weapon would suddenly vibrate, the last time it vibrated because he touched a poppy, so why this time?

The corner of his eye suddenly swept to the red crystal in his hand, and Simon raised his eyes suddenly, “Could it be this crystal?”

Simon raised the red spar in his hand high, and wanted to use the sunlight to find out, but unfortunately, the sunlight above the canyon couldn’t be projected at all for some reason, and only a little light was not enough to see the crystal clearly. what the inside is like.

“squeak”

When Simon lifted the crystal high, an unpleasant sound suddenly came from his ear, which immediately caught his attention. He turned his head to look at the source of the sound, but saw that Alex was clinging to the handle of Poppy’s knife with one hand. Pull it out of the sheath.

Because the blade of Poppy was almost rusted, it made an unpleasant rubbing sound when it was unsheathed.

“Why is it still like this, since the poppy has moved, it shouldn’t be like this anymore.” Alex’s face was full of disappointment, looking at the rusty poppy, his heart was very depressed.

Originally, he thought that Poppy had moved, which meant that it had woken up, but when the blade was unsheathed, Alex knew that he was wrong. The yellow rust on the blade could not even cover the darkness. in his heart.

Simon looked at Alex’s disappointed expression and shook his head slightly. He didn’t know what to say. How could a knife with such rust become intact because of a sudden tremor?

Suddenly, the crystal in Simon’s hand burst out with a red light that was stronger than before. After the red light flickered inside the crystal, it suddenly shot out and shot towards the poppy in Alex’s hand, like the speed of light. The speed of the attack made Simon unable to react, and in the blink of an eye, the red light sank into Poppy’s rusted knife.

After the red light sank into the rusted blade of Poppy, a bright red light rose from the rusted blade, and the bright red light reflected on Alex’s surprised face, and it was immediately dyed. red.

“What’s going on!” Simon’s eyes widened, shocked by this sudden discovery.

And Alex’s eyes were also wide open, looking at the poppy that kept flashing red, he didn’t know what was going on, he shook his head and was speechless.

Under the gaze of Simon and the two, the red light that kept flashing on the poppy not only did not attenuate, but instead became more intense. Suddenly, another red light shot from behind Simon, and it disappeared into Poppy’s knife in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he saw the sudden red light, Simon turned around very quickly, and when he saw the scene on the road ahead at this time, his face suddenly changed greatly.

The originally dark road was constantly flashing red light at this time, and every other section of the road, a red light flashed violently, reflecting each other, and suddenly the two-person-wide canyon was illuminated red. .

At this time, the red light emitted by the poppy blade has reached a level of blindness, and Alex, who is at close range, can’t bear it anymore and closes his eyes.

Simon felt that a strong red light was pushed from behind him and shot forward. At the same time, the epee hanging behind his back vibrated violently, and the red light that kept flashing on the ground in front of him kept shooting out. The red light shot towards the poppy behind him.

The red light one after another is very beautiful and gorgeous, and it aggregated into a dazzling huge red light in mid-air and shot towards the poppy behind him. Simon, who was the first to bear the brunt, instinctively closed his eyes.

And when the huge and dazzling red light disappeared into the poppy, Alex only felt a huge force coming from his hand, and then the poppy in his hand broke away from his own hand, and he couldn’t help but open his eyes in surprise. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the red light was no longer so intense and dazzling.

At the moment when the dazzling red light disappeared, Simon opened his eyes for the first time, turned to look, but found that the poppy originally in Alex’s hand was floating in the air, and the knife was shining with a faint red light. , At the same time, the egg-sized crystal in his hand suddenly turned into a pile of gray powder.

“What the **** is going on!” Simon first glanced at Alex who was overwhelmed~www.readwn.com~, then stared at the gray powder in his palm, and couldn’t help but say.

Simon couldn’t react to what happened suddenly, and now Poppy was floating in the air.

As if he hadn’t heard what Simon said, Alex looked at Poppy floating in the air in shock, and was speechless for a long time. Although he knew that Poppy was not an ordinary knife, he had never seen Poppy send out a knife. Such a dazzling red light can still float in mid-air now.

The two of them just stared at the poppy, which was constantly flashing a faint red light.

For a long time, the faint red light on the poppy knife disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. After the red light disappeared, and through the dim light, Simon was surprised to find that the blade covered with rust turned into a glamorous blood at this time. red.

“Poppy is awake!” Alex also saw the change in Poppy, and shouted in surprise, and then ran towards Poppy floating in the air.

“Don’t get close yet.”

The strange change of Poppy made Simon very jealous. Seeing that Alex wanted to get close, he couldn’t help but shouted. Following his words, Alex, who was running towards Poppy, couldn’t help but stop his footsteps. At the same time, he floated in the air. The blood-red blade of the poppy in the middle flashed a faint red light, and suddenly shot forward, drawing a clear red glow in the dim canyon.

“Poppy!” Seeing Poppy flying into the canyon on his own, Alex couldn’t help but follow him in a hurry.

Simon was taken aback by Poppy’s sudden action, and then when he saw Alex running into this weird canyon, he couldn’t help but follow.

“Damn, what the **** is going on!” Simon chased after Alex and scolded lowly.
