Chapter 220

Matsuno did not strike again, but followed Rhodes and his party closely to Orbik's residence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now Rhodes and his gang have not done anything out of the ordinary, and his rash move is worth the loss, so it is better to keep a distance and give the other party some deterrence. But again, if the Rhodes gang really had other plans, then Matsuno Mingqi would definitely not hesitate to make a move.

Rhodes currently has no intention of entering a mortal rivalry with Matsuno Mingqi and the Emperor Crocodile Pirates, so he decided to let Matsuno Mingqi go alone, and with the leadership of Rex, he went deep into the village.

There were a lot of people in the village, and the streets were crowded with people, and it was a thriving scene, and if Rex hadn't said it before, Rhodes wouldn't have seen that these people were slaves, oh no, they were still slaves.

In addition, although it has been baptized for several years, there are still traces of the brutal massacre that can be observed in some places. The old tree in front of a small fruit shop was full of foliage, but the trunk was densely covered with marks of knife cuts, and a wall not far away diagonally was also broken, which looked like it had been attacked by artillery.

"This seems to be Orbick's hometown, and he told me a lot about it in the early days when we sailed together. Avia said, looking around.

"Have you ever been to sea together?" Rhodes was also dazzled, and the village was still very lively, giving people a feeling of a small town.

"Yes, I saved him on a pirate ship by chance, and I was recuperating on that island together, and when I was going to move on after recuperating from my wounds, he sent me there in person to thank me for saving my life. It wasn't until later that I learned that he was going somewhere else with me, so he said he was sending me there, so he got on my boat with a cheeky face. Avia smiled wryly, remembering the days they used to be together.

Rhodes couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "What an interesting guy, I can't wait to meet him." ”

Several people inadvertently quickened their pace.

Rex was very familiar with the place, and walked quickly with Rhodes and the group, with Klockdahl and Daz Bonis following slowly.

"When we arrived, that's where Obick lived. Rex took a big breath, paused, and pointed to a dilapidated house in front of him.

"That guy...... Isn't it his dream to be a tavernkeeper and listen to the stories of his adventures on the Great Voyage every day?"

"It's broken. Rex lamented, "He's collapsed since he failed to protect the village three years ago, and watched the village he once knew was reduced to ashes in the flames of war." ”

There was silence.

Several people stood outside the hut, not knowing how to walk in and face Obick.

"Let's go. It was Rhodes who broke the silence first, "There's no need to be so heavy, don't forget that your two maids are also inside." ”

"Ha, that's right!" Avia forced a smile and pushed open the door and walked in.

Then, Rhodes, Tyton, and Nana also entered one by one.

As for the two of them, they didn't seem to be interested in this, and sat outside, talking to Matsuno Mingqi not far away as if they were teasing.

"He's not here. Avia looked around the room, which was unusually rudimentary, and Obic and the two maids he had been thinking about day and night were not among them.

"Rex. Rhodes called Rex, waiting for Rex to explain what was going on.

Rex patted his head and said, "They should be on the mountain." ”

"On the mountain?" Rhodes, who had come out of the house, looked at the tree-lined mountain on the side, "why is it there?"

"After being ostracized in the village, Obick decided to take his two children, who could be his daughters, to the mountains, where they hunted for a living, built a house, and often stayed in the mountains, occasionally going into the village to buy some necessary supplies," Rex said. I had forgotten that since they weren't here, they must be in the mountains. ”

"Without further ado, let's go. Rhodes stretched and said.

"It's time to say goodbye for now, kid Rhodes. Klockdahl said suddenly.

"After following us for so long, are you finally leaving?" Rhodes seemed to mean that he wanted Klockdahl to leave quickly.

Klockdahl also heard it, and actually felt a little embarrassed: "It's boring, just wait here for the arrival of Emperor Crocodile Boin." ”

"In that case, should he go to us or should he come to you? If he comes to us, won't you have to wait here for a while? Rhodes said.

“…… It seems that this is the only way to go. Klockdahl shrugged, dismissing the idea of splitting up with Rhodes.

Matsuno Mingqi on the side breathed a sigh of relief...... He was still a little worried about the separation of the two groups, if that would be his turn to figure out which group to follow, but fortunately, Rhodes was very 'understanding' and helped him solve the problem.

After some time, they left the village and rushed up the mountain.

The mountain is densely forested, the road is steep and steep, and the howl of wild beasts is heard from time to time, and it is probably because of these reasons that there is no trace of people on the mountain.

"It's not bad to stay in the deep mountains and old forests, it's easy and relaxed. Rhodes felt the silence in the woods, and a little intoxicated.

"Easy? For the ordinary people of Obik, just birds, beasts, insects and moths are enough for him. "Avia knows Obik quite well, Obik has never planned to be a pirate or anything, his strength is not strong, and he went to sea to return to his hometown and let him hunt, I guess I can't stand it.

"I see. Rhodes muttered to himself.

"Ang!" The jungle not far away made a rustling sound, and it was not difficult to tell that something was coming from walking through the jungle.

Rhodes and Klokdal reacted very quickly, and they couldn't tell what was coming from it for the time being, so they didn't rush to meet it, but retreated to the sides first, avoiding the attack.

At this time, the mutation was reborn, and the sound of several consecutive arrow strings was remembered, and then several black sharp arrows broke through the air and approached everyone.

As soon as the howl sounded, Rhodes had already dispersed and sensed the surroundings, so before the arrow could be fired, he sensed it, he calmly grabbed Nana's hand and stepped back again, dodging behind a big tree surrounded by two people.

"It's okay. ”

"It's fine. Nana shook her head like a frightened kitten, then took out the short stick on her waist, "What happened?"

"Nothing, it doesn't seem to be an enemy. Rhodes walked out from behind the tree, looked at the three tigers lying on the ground, and regained his composure, "He's helping us." ”
