Skull Forest (1)

Calm and the boy walked farther and farther in, and the thousand-year-old tree was in front of them, but no matter how hard they tried to move forward, they still couldn't get there, but gradually drifted away.

It was already dark when they set out, but they could still see a little bit of the sunset, but it was already late in the evening, and they hadn't reached it yet.

It looked a little scary in the middle of the night, so the boy tugged at his calm shirt and said, "We might as well go back." ”

Calmly looked at the people in the distance, and looked at the road behind him, the distance was not too short, so he nodded calmly, "Then come back another day." ”

With that, they turned around and were about to leave, but they ran into trouble.

On the way back, after only a few steps, the sky suddenly changed drastically, and as the heavenly palace sounded, alerting against the sudden attack of heavy rain, neither of them brought an umbrella or a robe.

Although they soon ran into a tree hole, their clothes were still soaked.

Almost every tree here has a hollow, and the hollow of the thousand-year-old tree that Calm and the boy had seen before was the largest of them all, large enough to build a house for three people in it, and now the hollow they had to go into to avoid the rain was much smaller, and the bodies of the two men were almost attached to each other.

Seeing that the heavy rain had no intention of stopping, Calm and the boy had to spend the night here tonight.

Staying in the hollow of the tree reminded him of the time when he and the boy rescued those animals.

Just as she was thinking this, an animal came running from a distance, and it rushed into the place with lightning speed, one foot stepping on a calm arm and jumping directly up to the branch.

The boy subconsciously kept his calmness behind him and looked at the unknown animal vigilantly.

However, instead of paying attention to the calm and boy in the hollow, it chose to stay on the branch, but it was clear that it was not honest.

Soon, it tore a few wild fruits from the branches and threw them directly at the two of them.

Its strength was not small, and the boy's arm was bruised from the blow, but it did not stop, and wild fruits were constantly being thrown in.

The wild fruit on the tree was almost plucked by it, and it ran into the rain.

Its temporary disappearance gave Calm a chance to breathe, but they were almost covered in wild fruits, and their bodies were also a pile of broken wild fruits.

The boy threw all the wild fruits out of the hollow, and then went out of the hollow, and before the animal returned, he tore down a number of branches from the tree and put them at the mouth of the hollow, so that they could shelter them from the wind and rain, and that they could be used to ward off its attacks.

Sure enough, as the boy thought, it was not long before the animal came back with a discarded bamboo basket in its mouth, and in the basket there were many stones, which he threw towards the hollow of the tree where they were.

It was able to resist in front of the branch at the entrance of the tree hole, but it was quickly broken by the rocks, and it did not mean to end the attack.

The boy took out the knife he had prepared, lifted his feet and walked out of the tree hole.

But being stopped by calm, she pointed to the hole in the tree where she was, "Maybe it just wanted to take shelter from the rain, and it didn't mean anything." ”

The boy put away the knife after hearing the calm words, but still looked warily at the unknown animal standing in the rain.

The other party also stared at them, but then from a distance came the howl of a wolf, and when it heard it, it immediately turned and ran away.

Calm can't continue to calm down, he tugged at the boy's clothes "There are wolves here, let's go"

However, the rain outside was still heavy and did not mean to get any less, and the boy was worried that his calm body would not be able to bear it, so he took off his coat and put it on for calm.

Calm wanted to return the clothes to him, but the boy refused, "I'm fine, sister, let's go." ”

The boy helped him to calm down and ran towards the hollow of the tree.

But now it was raining heavily, and the fog was rising from all directions in the forest, and they couldn't tell where they were leaving.

In the end, they decided to go in the opposite direction, leading them into even more dangerous places, where the steppe wolf that had been following them for a long time was waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

The fog around them grew heavier and heavier, and at last they couldn't even see each other, so they could only hold each other's hands while the other hand kept groping around.

And at that moment, the wolf appeared in front of them, and it was lying straight and half-lying in front of Calm, only half a step away from her, and Calm could feel the breath coming out of his nose as soon as he took a step forward.

It just looked at the two of them in the fog.

Now calm and the boy are in danger, and the situation of the little prince is not good.

Soon after calmly coming here to make an appointment with the boy, the little prince's illness suddenly relapsed.

When the maid who took over the calm and temporary service to the little prince entered the house, she found the little prince lying in front of the table, the corners of her mouth twitching, and her eyes had been rolled to the side.

By the time the Imperial Doctor arrived, his fate was already hanging by a thread.

When the king of the Huns found out, he knocked the smoker in the hall directly to the ground, and shouted at the military advisor, "When will I be able to enter the medicine!" Wu'er has endured the pain for so long, and time cannot wait any longer. ”

The military advisor still looked at the Hun King very calmly, as if nothing had happened, and the Hun King's sudden change in love made the minions around him so frightened that they lost their work and hurriedly escaped.

"In the year of twenty-eight, it is difficult to achieve its effect one day earlier, let alone one year"

The military advisor looked at the throne behind the Xiongnu King, and seemed to have something else on his mind.

The King of the Huns didn't care so much, he waved his hand, and all the folds on the royal table were thrown aside.

He pointed to the guards standing at the door of the store, "You quickly inform the Iron Cavalry General and arrest Calm!" ”

Then he ignored the military advisor and left.

The military advisor stood in the center of the hall without any intention of leaving, and after the Hun King had left for a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "No prey will obediently wait to be killed." ”

After that, the frightened guards who knelt at the door of the store left behind.

At this time, Calm and the boy were still searching for a way out in the fog, and the wild wolves in front were still very patiently waiting for them to exhaust their bodies in this thick fog to become its mouth, just like the slaves who had been banished here before.

None of them made it out alive.

Because of the confidence that they could not escape, they fell asleep not far from the calm and snored.
