Chapter 99: Humanoid
To go or not to go, that's the question.
If you go up now, you will encounter two situations: one is to meet your companions on your side, and then everyone is happy and escape together, and the other is to meet the chasing Mu Clan and face the danger of life!
But if I don't go up now, and go through the cracks in the ground next to me, there are also gains and losses: what I get is stability, I don't face any danger, everything is calm. But on the other hand, I will also lose the opportunity to reunite with my peers.
It can be said that there are pros and cons to both options.
I stood quietly in the darkness for a moment, the man on the psychic map still not far around the corner, moving slowly.
I gritted my teeth and finally made up my mind!
Where in the world is there something that we are absolutely sure of? Isn't everything a probability before it happens? And what we can do is not to do our best to make the probability of that favorable outcome becoming more likely?
If I don't try and try in the first place, the probability of a favorable outcome will always be zero!
This time, I'm going to have to go up and take a look!
Is this person my companion or the Ghost Wood Clan!
I bent over my waist and cautiously touched my way through the darkness where I was hiding, holding my phone tightly in my hand, nervous and sweating.
The man didn't seem to notice my whereabouts, and continued to move forward slowly, little by little.
Little by little, they came to me.
I hid behind a corner, mentally silently calculating the speed and time of the man's walk.
The moment the man reached the corner, I rushed out from behind the corner, took out my phone and pressed the flash at the man!
"Crackle! crackle!"
The sound of flashing lights rang out one after another in the cracks in the ground, and the bright white light illuminated the dark cracks as if it were day. The person on the other side had obviously not seen such a strong light for a long time, and was immediately so flashed that he couldn't open his eyes. Although I was not much better, I still took advantage of the light to see each other's faces.
It turned out to be an acquaintance!
"Rohr, it's you!" I cried out in surprise!
"It's you bastard!" Rohr was not at all happy, and could even say furious. Also, anyone who is flashed in the eyes by others will be furious.
"See if I don't kill you!" Rohr angrily raised his horse's hooves. As soon as I saw that this was terrible, I quickly turned around and ran, shouting as I ran: "Friends! Everyone is a friend! Why rush to kill everything? Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sea and the sky!"
"Plop ——!"
I had just run a few steps when I suddenly heard a muffled noise behind me. I looked back in disbelief, and when I saw that Rohr had fallen to the ground in a daze!
This...... Is it a trap?
First deliberately show weakness and deceive me, and then capture this and that trap in one fell swoop?
Good...... I will never be fooled!
I lifted my foot and tried to move further away from Rohr, but another loud voice came from behind me, holding my steps firmly like a rope.
"Gollum——! Gollum——! Gollum ——!"
One after another rang out from Rohr's body.
I stopped and turned to look at Rohr.
Rohr's face turned red and bared his teeth at me, "Get out, you bastard, get away, I don't want to see you at all!"
"Really?" I deliberately lengthened my voice, took out the storage bag, and rummaged through it in front of Luoer: "But, I have delicious snacks here~!"
"Get out!" Rohr grabbed the pebble at hand and threw it at me!
I cleverly dodged the stones and continued to rummage through the storage bag: "Ah, there are fresh big apples, which can replenish moisture~~!"
The fragrance of apples fills the narrow cracks in the ground.
"......" Rohr was suspiciously silent.
After a long while, Rohr finally whispered, "Come here and help me up." "It's so quiet, not much louder than a mosquito that I wouldn't have heard it if I hadn't pricked up my ears all the time.
Originally, I wanted to pretend not to hear it as in the novel, and let Rohr repeat it out loud. But after thinking about it, this guy is very thin-skinned, and he doesn't have a good impression of me, if I toss again, he will really ignore me.
This crack is intricate, and no one else knows where it is, and if I miss Rohr, I'll be alone again, it's not cost-effective.
It's better to coax Rohr, just like coaxing every tsundere kitten, and touch it.
So I quickly helped Rohr up and sat down, and contributed all the snacks and fruits in the storage bag.
Luo Er should have been so hungry that he grabbed his heart and stuffed it into his mouth, almost choking!
"Slow down, slow down! I don't have any water with me, and if you choke, it's not easy to do it! Come, eat some fruit to quench your thirst." I patted Rohr on the back and gave him a good breath as I handed him a large grape.
"You guy, why do you have so much food on you?"
"It was meant to be for friends, and I didn't expect it to come in handy here. ”
After a while, Rohr finally had enough to eat and drink, and began to tell me about his experiences in the past few days. Actually, it was similar to mine, after falling into the crack in the ground, I found that I was alone, so I had to walk inside, hoping to find an exit or meet other companions.
But Rohr's unfortunate thing is that after he fell, not only was there one person, but he also broke a leg.
"So I've been walking slowly for the past few days. Then, I met you. Rohr showed me his broken leg. There were no plants in the cracks in the ground, and Rolle couldn't even find a branch to fix the broken leg, so he had to wrap it casually with strips of cloth.
"So which way do we go next?"
"I don't know. Rohr sighed. "There are no plants in the cracks. If I have one, I can ask the plants about it. ”
Our two remnants were speechless.
Suddenly, the crack in the ground turned pitch black again.
After being tossed by my flash and flashlight, my phone finally couldn't support it anymore and ran out of power!
After a pause, Rohr nudged me gently, "Hey, don't you have any other lighting?"
"No, I'm just a phone. ”
Rohr was silent for a while, as if he had finally made up his mind: "Hey, I can provide you with light, but you'll have to carry me on your back for a while." ”
I replied with some anger, "I didn't plan to leave you behind. Am I such an untrustworthy person in your heart?"
Rohr was silent for a moment, did not say anything more, and turned his hands into horses' hooves.
The centaur's fur is smooth and shiny, emitting a faint white glow even in the dark.
That's what Rohr meant by lighting! That's a good idea!
So, in the deep cracks in the ground, Rohr and I formed a strategic alliance. I carried Rohr on my back, and Raul raised his arm to illuminate me.
In this way, the two of us walked into the deeper cracks without hesitation.
