Chapter Fifty-Six: Another Encounter
Gangus felt that the Vulcan must be deliberately trying to embarrass him, which is why he arranged such a tortuous fate for him today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As the young dwarf walked slowly along the eastern shore with Tula and Lightning, he was so uncertain that even he did not know what lay ahead of him and where the treasure he had promised was.
However, fate was so wonderful, and before they had gone far, after turning a corner, a dark cave appeared before their eyes.
Gangers stopped.
"Is this it?" said Tula, who paused, looking around suspiciously, the atmosphere of the place struck him as delicate as if there was some danger hidden.
Lightning pricked up his ears, also showing a defensive posture, and kept raising his head and poking his nose into the cave in front of him.
"Ah, here it is—" Gangus stumbled over, smiling back, "yes, the treasure is hidden in this cave." ”
"God knows what treasure is where. The dwarf whispered to himself, how could he know what was in the cave, but it was just a chance encounter, but it seemed that his only chance of escape seemed to be in this dark and terrifying cave.
Tula, who noticed the strange appearance of the lightning, naturally did not believe Ganges's words, and looking at the dwarf's flickering appearance, Tula had already determined what conspiracy the other party was playing.
But he still decided to go in and have a look, Tula also had his support, and Blacktooth led people to follow behind, as long as he was careful, even if Gangus escaped, it would not hurt to achieve his goal.
"Okay, you go in first. Giving the dwarf a gentle nudge, Tula whispered, and Gangus had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into the dark cavern.
The dwarf held his breath and tiptoed to the forefront, he cautiously looked around, trying to see the whole cave, but it was too dark to get used to it for a moment, so he could only feel the darkness forward.
For Gangus, who had never been to this cave before, the unknown was also full of unknowns, and when it came to the apprehension in his heart, he was probably even deeper than Tula.
"Whew-" Looking at Gangus, who had disappeared into the cave, Tula also stepped forward to enter the cave, when the lightning let out a low roar, and grabbed Tula's clothes with his paws, preventing him from entering.
"Hehe, it looks like there's a trap in there. Tula smiled, and quietly lay on the wolf's head, and whispered in Lightning's ear:
"What's in there, isn't it?"
"Woo-woo-" The little wolf nodded in agreement, with a series of low whimperes.
"Is it human?"
"Woo-woo" Lightning tilted his head, hesitated a little, and finally nodded and whined twice.
It seems that there are really people in ambush inside, could it be that the dwarves have set it up? Tula wondered, how could the dwarves know that Gangus was bringing them here? They could not have been ambushed in such a small cave in the middle of nowhere.
Just as Tula asked Lightning about the situation in the cave, Gangus, who had already walked a few steps, turned around tremblingly and shouted, "What are you doing outside the cave?
"Okay, here we are—" Tula responded, then crouched down, stroked Lightning's head lightly, and said, "When you get to the ambush, you'll scratch me with your claws, remember?"
"Whew-" Lightning opened his mouth and nodded excitedly, as if he thought it was going to be a very interesting game.
Tula was a little nervous, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and kept admonishing himself: "It's okay to be cautious, there is a lightning warning, Uncle Blacktooth is behind, and there should be room for adaptation if anything happens." ”
Thinking like this, Tula walked into the cave with the white wolf beside him.
"Why are you so slow—" Gangus grumbled as he felt the man following him.
After spending some time with Tula, the dwarf was no longer afraid of the little boy, who was surprisingly polite in his eyes, and Tula was not a barbarian by the standards of a barbarian.
Neither whipping him, nor torturing him, or even making him feel humiliated, without fear, without even scolding himself along the way, the relationship between the two was not at all like that of an escort and a captive.
Tula did not reply, but looked around warily, his eyes as if blindfolded the moment he entered the dark cavern, and he could see nothing but darkness.
"Phew, be careful, I always feel like something is wrong here. Gangus rubbed his hands together, but instead shrank back and moved closer to Tula.
He was indeed a little scared, the cave was eerily scary, as if there were countless eyes staring at him, and if it was possible to choose again, Gangers would rather not come in.
As far as the current situation is concerned, he prefers to believe that the little savage behind him and the wolf are the ones who can protect him, and instead of the unknown danger, Gangus trusts the person who captured him, and actually begins to care about his safety.
Tula didn't notice this, for he had barely taken two steps before the lightning stopped, stretched out his claws on his legs, and scratched them lightly.
Tula's heart jumped, and he stopped, and at the same time opened his mouth and whispered, "Wait a minute, Gangus. ”
Seeing that the young dwarf looked unaware, Tula thought that perhaps this was not a trap laid by the dwarves, but some terrible danger hidden in the cave itself.
However, as soon as Thor spoke
"Brush-" A sharp sound broke through the air, but Tula was already on guard, and when he heard the slightest noise in the hole, he hurriedly rolled on the ground and flipped backwards.
There was a "thud" and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by a fierce wolf howl of lightning
"Whoa—" Even Tula couldn't see the lightning clearly, and the little white wolf was like a lightning bolt in the darkness, and he swooped down on the thing that fell from above.
"Ahh
Tula was startled, and subconsciously shouted: "Stay alive, let's retreat first!" Then came the sound of "servants" landing in the depths of the cave, as if many people had jumped from the top of the cave to the ground.
Panicked, Gangus hurriedly stepped back as he shouted, "What's wrong? what's going on? Boy, where are you?"
Tula, who had been slightly accustomed to the dark environment, saw Gangus who was retreating in a panic, grabbed the dwarf by the collar, and pulled him to retreat.
"What's wrong?" Suddenly grabbed by the collar Ganges, and when he turned around, he was slightly relieved to see that it was Tula, and hurriedly asked what happened.
Tula didn't bother with him now, grabbed Gangus and ran out of the cave, his heart beating wildly, although he was silent on the surface, but in fact he was extremely nervous inside, and this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
Fortunately, the two wolves had only walked a few steps into the cave, but in the blink of an eye, they had already retreated outside the cave.
Tula wiped the sweat from her head and stared at the lightning, dumbfounded.
I saw that Lightning was holding a child-sized piece of broken animal skin in his mouth, the clothes were empty, it seemed that the owner had taken them off in a hurry due to the urgency of the situation, it was covered with mud and dust, and I don't know how long it had not been washed.
Maybe it was because he listened to his own orders, so the lightning didn't directly kill the person who attacked him, but he didn't expect the other party to make a golden cicada get out of his shell and escape.
And what really made Tula dumbfounded was that the size of this dress was clearly sewn according to the figure of the dwarf, that is to say, the person who attacked him just now was indeed a dwarf.
Thinking of this, Tula turned his head to look at Gangus, and the dwarf himself was dumbfounded, looking at the dress blankly, shocked, regretful, and confused.
"What's going on? This is clearly the animal skin clothes that the tribesmen often wear, how can it be ......" Just as the two of them gasped for silence, there was a sound of footsteps behind them.
Tula turned around, only to see Blacktooth hurrying with seven or eight tall barbarian warriors, and seeing that Tula was safe and sound, Blacktooth seemed to breathe a deep sigh of relief.
"Uncle Blacktooth, there's a dwarf in this cave—" Tula whispered, pointing to the cave.
