When the destroyed altar could be seen from a distance, the originally clear sky suddenly covered a layer of dark clouds, Yang Qinglan sat on the horse, looked up at the sky, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. (Yes?) (Meaning?) (Think?) (Book?) (Hospital.)

Akiyama, who was leading the horse next to him, also looked up when he saw that the light suddenly dimmed, but the moment he looked up, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot straight down, concentrating on the altar in front of him, and then, a huge thunderclap exploded in the ears of the two of them!

"Hiss ——!!!"

"Ahh——!!!!hh

"Lord, ahhh!!hh

Akiyama, who was taken down by the horse that suddenly went berserk and startled by the lightning and thunder, fell face down, but he didn't have time to care about his hot face, and with a hand he got up from the ground, trying to catch the horse who was also startled by the thunder and lightning.

However, after all, after a fall, the horse was frightened and went crazy again, even if it ran fast on the mountain road, Akiyama didn't have time to catch it, and watched the crazy horse run towards the altar with only the pedestal left, and the people on horseback were very fragile no matter how they looked, as if they could be thrown to the ground at any time.

Akiyama didn't think about it, gritted his teeth and chased after him, shouting while chasing: "Hurry up, master!" ”

The horse didn't go far before it began to jump in circles in the same place, trying to shake off the man on its back, and Akiyama was so frightened that he didn't even care about the danger, and rushed up to grab the reins of it.

Just as he was about to grab the reins, another bolt of lightning slashed down!

"Crackle——!!

"Hiss ——!!!"

The raised horse's hooves were at the mouth of the Mid-Autumn Mountain, kicking him out a few feet away, and the startled horse that caused the accident once again galloped in the direction of the altar.

Akiyama felt that his whole body was aching, and all kinds of black, red, and white lights flashed in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, and his ears could only hear the muffled heartbeat.

I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to regain some consciousness, but the bones in his body seemed to be shattered and he couldn't move at all, so he could only keep his eyes open to see.

The lights of various colors were still flickering, but through these lights, he could faintly see an object jumping not far away.

Is that the old man's horse?

Akiyama tried to see the mass clearly, but no matter what, an obstructive light blocked his view, allowing him to only see a rough idea.

Another bolt of lightning struck, seemingly striking the jumping object, and the sound of the horses was interrupted by the sound of thunder, and when the thunder dissipated, there were no more dynamic objects in Akiyama's field of vision.

Master!!!

Akiyama wanted to shout, but his throat couldn't make any sound at all, as if a wooden plug had been blocked, and it was difficult to even breathe.

"Wow-"

The pouring rain was said to fall, and the bean-sized raindrops even felt painful when they hit the people, because they were kicked very much by the horse, and because they were rained, Akiyama only felt extremely painful when he lay there.

I don't know how long it took, but Akiyama, who was drenched and shivering with cold, finally had some strength to get up from the ground, but his chest was torn and painful, maybe he was kicked and his ribs were broken, and every breath made him feel as if his chest cavity was penetrated.

Stopping one step at a time, holding on to the tree on the side of the road, Akiyama slowly moved towards the road he had come, and he rubbed for a quarter of an hour for a distance that he could usually walk in a few minutes, and by the time he finally moved to the shrine he had seen before, nearly an hour had passed.

Holding on to the roof of the shrine, Akiyama wiped the rain from his face, picked up a stone from the ground and began to knock on the roof, he wanted to say something when he knocked, but he couldn't speak at all, so he could only knock more and more urgently.

Within a few clicks, Orion's voice sounded behind him.

"Are you...... Fang Cai's clerk? Why are you so embarrassed? Where's your grandfather? ”

Hearing the voice, Akiyama, who had been holding his breath to support himself from falling, was weak and was about to fall to the ground.

A pair of hands grabbed him from behind.

Helping the crumbling Akiyama, Orion saw his face, and then was startled by the scars on his face and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and was about to say something, his ears suddenly moved, and he leaned closer to listen to his breathing, and then his face changed greatly, and he reached out and pressed it lightly on his chest.

Pressed to the wound, Akiyama trembled all over, then spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed to the mountain road with the last of his strength, and then rolled his eyes and fainted.

Holding on to Akiyama, who had lost consciousness, Orion stood helplessly for a while, and saw that he couldn't wake up for a while, so he carefully picked him up horizontally, stomped his feet on the spot and disappeared without a trace.

A few minutes later, the hunter with nothing in his hand reappeared from the place where he had disappeared, and looked up at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, with a solemn expression on his face.

Meanwhile.

In an empty square, Yang Qinglan was tightly tied and thrown aside, and in the middle of the square, three short guys who were not human beings were roasting horse meat.

Seeing the three dwarfs snorting at the horse flesh that had already emitted a fragrance, Yang Qinglan realized that she was probably struck into some secret realm by that lightning, and these dwarfs of unknown race were the aborigines of this secret realm.

And most likely goblins.

The moment she was struck by lightning, Yang Qinglan's first reaction was that Lai Lingyun was going to die, and her mission was about to end forcefully, but then, out of nowhere, a big net appeared out of nowhere, covering it with people and horses, making her fall firmly.

Lai Lingyun is no longer young, his eldest son will be an adult in two years, plus his physical fitness is average, he has not slowed down for a long time after being thrown like this.

When she regained some consciousness, she found that she had been tied up into rice dumplings with rattan sticks, and the horse, which had been going crazy a moment ago, had been dismantled and roasted on the fire.

It's a blessing to have her life back, but she's been caught by an unknown carnivorous creature, and I wonder if it's another misfortune that awaits her.

Fortunately, the three dwarfs were waiting intently for the horse's meat to be cooked, and no one noticed that she had woken up, giving her enough time to look around and understand what was going on.

In her memory, she was struck by lightning when her horse jumped onto the ruins of the altar, and the next moment she was struck, she fell off her horse's back.

Although she was unconscious for a while, she was still more sure that she should not have moved much since she fell off the horse, but there were no woods or ruins of the altar nearby, but a large square with obvious traces of man-made.

There must be something wrong with that altar!

She had her brains out here, and the horse meat had been roasted there, and the three dwarfs cheered, and each took out a short blade and began to eat it.

Although the three dwarfs looked small, they had a lot of appetite, and a horse of such a size was eaten into a skeleton by them in a very short time, leaving only a lone horse's head to be thrown by the fire, looking dead.

After eating, a dwarf stood up and touched his stomach, then raised the last piece of horse meat the size of two fists and walked towards "Lai Lingyun".

Seeing this, Yang Qinglan hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

"I know you're awake, hungry or not? This beast is crazy and brought you here, we will kill it to save you, this piece of good meat is specially reserved for you, hurry up and eat it! ”

Yang Qinglan continued to pretend to be unconscious.

"Don't eat? If you don't eat for a while, you'll suffer, and with your bones, you won't last long before you die. ”

Die?

Yang Qinglan stretched her eyes open a slit and "peeked" at the talking dwarf.

They used to sit farther away, but now they look closer, although they all have a humanoid appearance, but the appearance characteristics obviously belong to beasts, especially the pair of ears on the head, a bit like a fox and a bit like a dog, but it is obviously smaller, and it is quite cute when you look at it alone.

Seeing her open her eyes, the dwarf grinned, revealing teeth that clearly belonged to carnivores.

"Not pretending?"

“…… Where is this? ”

"Xiaoyuan Mountain."

"Little ...... Courtyard Mountain? ”

"None of that matters." The dwarf crouched down and handed the piece of meat to her, "Eat it!" ”

Yang Qinglan was just about to refuse, but a special smell of meat immediately entered her nose, making her suddenly feel so hungry, and she couldn't say anything if she refused.

Spineless swallowed and licked her lips, she glanced at the dwarf who was expressionless because of the hair on his face, and then at the horse meat that became more and more delicious, closed her eyes and put her head forward and nibbled on the piece of meat.

“！！！ Hmm——!!! ”

"Delicious, right?"

“…… Well! ”

"Then eat quickly, we'll be on our way when we're done."

Hit the road......

The horse meat that had just been chewed and had not yet been swallowed immediately choked in his throat.

Seeing that she was coughing heavily, the dwarf moved his ears in distress.

"You guys are really troublesome! Ahh Go get a can of water! ”

In the distance, from the other side of the fire came the voice of reply: "What a container!" ”

"Dressed in horse bones!"

“……”

A few minutes later, a small bowl made of white bones with a bowl of water was handed to Yang Qinglan.

"Drink."

Yang Qinglan: "......"

What do these three non-humans want to do when they are tied up and then fed her meat and water? What does it mean to be on the road? Why does she die if she doesn't eat it?

She was full of doubts, but she still finished the piece of meat, during which the dwarf named "Ah Da" also filled her with water three times, and she didn't know how far away the place where the water was drawn, and every time he came back, he stuck out his tongue and gasped, and the appearance of snorting was a canine.

When she had finished eating, the dwarf threw away the stick and bone bowl in his hand, and the three of them lined up and lifted her up.

"Let's go, let's go home!"

Being carried away as a package, Yang Qinglan always felt that she was going to fall, and she was nervous.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Go home!"

"Where is your home?"

"Xiaoyuan Mountain!"

"Isn't this the ......?"

"This is also Xiaoyuan Mountain, and the place where we live is also Xiaoyuan Mountain!"

“…… What the hell are you...... Animal? ”

"Red Roe Deer!"

"Red Badge?"

"Red red, roe deer! Ah, I don't like this word that you people invented so much, why are those rats next to us? ”

"Roe head rat ......" Yang Qinglan tried hard to find in Lai Lingyun's memory, but did not find the relevant memory, but in the real world, she had heard that the roe deer belonged to the canine family and looked a bit like a fox.

Well, whatever animal they are, what the hell do they want to do?
