Chapter 49: The Long Road Ahead
People always have to run. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause when you move forward, you forget the darkness behind you, and you only look forward to the light ahead.
Saipan was like that, and the roar of the monster behind him made him step away again, picking up speed. He also didn't believe why he was so fast, beyond human comprehension. Maybe it's because the beast's devouring mouth and the sound of chewing human bones keep flashing in my head. There seems to be no end to this cave, only endless despair.
"Mother, if you want me to go and arrange all this with you, then I am willing. But we haven't repaid Lord Tang Meng's kindness yet. Saipan muttered to himself.
With a "roar", a dark shadow revealed its hideous face from the bend of the cave. It is a magical beast that feeds on humans, the Lightning Thunder Leopard. It is an animal that has mastered the magic of thunder and lightning, and can shoot the common magic of thunder and lightning such as thunder and lightning balls from its mouth, and it is also very fast, moving as fast as lightning, hence the name.
Back to yesterday, Saipan was on a journey with a few people who had traveled to the city of Emir. Because I was too tired, I followed a few people into this cave, just because I rested in it for one night, but when I woke up, I didn't know where I was in the cave, and the others woke up confused.
Then something terrible happened, while exploring the cave, monsters kept pouring out, everyone ran away, and some people were even turned into food for the monsters.
The man who ran with Saipan was a middle-aged uncle, and when they had been running for a long time and thought they could rest, a monster swooped down on the uncle, baring its fangs, and bit off the uncle's neck in one bite.
Saipan had never seen human blood splash so high, just like the fountain in the square that his mother took her to see when she was a child, but it was so bloody and cruel. Fear made his feet tremble, and he watched as the uncle had his head bitten off. Suddenly, the lightning thunder leopard turned his head and glanced at Saipan with his yellow pupils like copper bells.
It thought that it would be better to kill one more person to fill its stomach. So Saipan felt the fear of being locked by the beast. The lightning thunder leopard stepped on the solid ground with its paws, and approached the human who had been frightened by himself step by step.
Death was so strange before, but now it is so familiar? My mother has just tasted this pain, and now it will be my turn? No, I still have something to do! Lord Tang Meng's kindness has not yet been repaid!
Thinking of this, Saipan used the last strength of his body to turn around and run, and he didn't know where his body got the courage to race against this monster known for its speed, but Saipan did just that.
I saw the lightning thunder leopard roar angrily, the prey that was slaughtered by itself actually dared to escape? With a force of its limbs, it instantly flew out a long way, as fast as a bolt of lightning. In three or two steps, he caught up with Saipan, jumped up and grabbed Saipan's shoulder with a paw, with the sound of whirring wind.
While Saipan was running, he naturally saw this menacing attack with his peripheral vision, so he had no choice but to roll forward on the spot to avoid this claw.
The lightning leopard's claws slammed into the ground, leaving deep marks that shook so much that a few rocks fell from the cavern ceiling.
Saipan spat out the dust in his mouth and ran forward again. He himself was strange that he hadn't eaten for a day, but the power in his body was constantly pouring out, and he accelerated again.
The Lightning Leopard's mouth opened wide, and a powerful thundering magic ball began to condense, but it had already taken shape in just a few seconds, and it was sprayed towards Saipan at an astonishing speed.
Saipan miraculously kicked his foot and threw himself forward to the ground. The thundering orb grazed Saipan's back, and Saipan could already smell the smell of his back being scorched by electricity, but the orb still didn't explode, but slammed straight into the pillar of the cave in front of him.
With a "boom", the pillar was blown apart and stones flew everywhere. Saipan struggled to his feet and ran in the other direction.
And the lightning thunder leopard stopped in place after sending this magic bullet and took a few breaths. He silently watched Saipan go away, because if he chased it again, it would be tantamount to giving up the prey that he had just arrived, not to mention that he would stray into the territory of some more murderous people. So the lightning leopard slowly turned around and returned to the previous cave to enjoy his spoils.
Saipan was also panting desperately, his palms resting against the rock wall, feeling a sense of happiness for the rest of his life. He slowly fell to the ground, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"Finally escaped. But the gods are above, and this cave is so big, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. Saipan thought for a moment, and suddenly his stomach barked.
Only then did Saipan remember that he hadn't eaten for a day, but fortunately he hadn't lost his dry food. He quickly took out a piece of dry and hard bread from his pocket and devoured it, then took out a kettle from his waist and hurriedly poured a few sips before feeling better.
"So what now?" Symbian asked himself, then urged himself, "Let's keep going." If you die here, it will be difficult to repay Lord Tang Meng's kindness, let's go. ā
Saipan saw a cave and walked forward, he didn't know what was waiting for him, but he still entered without hesitation, after all, he could only wait for death in the same place......
At the same time, Eric, who was recuperating at home, was pacing anxiously. Apparently he was struggling with something. Recently, there have been a lot of things, and he received a letter from Tang Meng's magic pigeon, but he didn't know what kind of profession and strength the person recommended by Tang Meng was. The portrait attached to the letter looks like a simple person, but the eyes reveal a clever one.
"Let's hope this kid can be trained in our mercenary group. Eric muttered to himself.
However, he was more worried now that Lord Kreel's visit to the Lord of the Castle had been unsuccessful. It is said that the lord of the castle is closed for some reason. However, if a major event such as the trail of the demon wolf cavalry cannot be reported for a long time, it will miss the best time to establish a defense.
However, Tang Mengxin also said that the Demon Wolf Cavalry would not attack easily for the time being, so there was still time. It's just that I can't stay at home with nothing to do anymore. Eric decided to go and meet the young man named Saipan.
"Eric, where are you going?" asked Eric's wife.
She is a woman who seems to be diligent and virtuous. In appearance, she is also good-looking.
"Ah, I'm going to pick up the young man from Saipan, the child I told you, the one who lost his mother. Eric said.
"Oh, it's the poor boy. Okay, go ahead, I'll help you prepare your meals. Eric's wife whispered.
Eric answered, took his hat and put it on, and left, of course, he didn't know what was waiting for him ahead, it was an extremely dangerous and dark encounter......
