Chapter 40: Bargaining
"Tell me, what do you want us to do?" Ansu went straight to the point and asked bluntly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chief Samba froze, but he didn't expect Ansu to be so direct, and all the words of condemnation were swallowed back into his stomach. He rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay if you don't hand over the monster, but!" He paused deliberately, as if trying to suppress his excitement, "You must help me clear the blocked roads in the cave!" ”
It turns out that what he wants is power, even if it turns into a monster.
"It's completely blocked, and I'm afraid it's going to be hard to clean up." An Su shook his head, "Besides, the old wizards of your clan will not agree. ”
"I'm the chief!" Chief Samba raised his spear and paused on the ground, glaring at Ansu, "I'll have the final say!" ”
"Let me think about it."
"Don't play any tricks!" Chief Samba stared at Ansu and said, lest she would run away in the next second.
Ansu ignored him and whispered to Simon, "He wants to get the energy that can make people change in the underground base." ”
"He's crazy?!" Simon was taken aback, "That can't be out there!" ”
Ansu pressed Simon's shoulder to calm him down. "I know, at least not now."
"What then? Run? ”
"Running away won't solve the problem." Ansu patted him on the shoulder, "Leave everything to me." ”
"I can help you open a passage, but then we don't owe each other. You must let me and my companions go. Ansu said.
Chief Samba hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, as long as you open the passage, you can go." He wished that they weren't there, that he could have that power to himself, and that he was confident that he could handle it.
"You'll have to go back with us, and you'll be under our watch." Chief Samba smiled slyly.
"Nope." Ansu shook his head, "It's impossible for the two of us to clean up those stones, you want to clean them up quickly, right?" She looked at him mockingly.
"What do you want?" Chief Samba sank his face.
Ansu and Simon had a quick conversation.
"My companion will stay as a hostage, and I'm going to find help." Ansu said.
"Helper?" Chief Samba laughed a few times, "Who can help you in this grassland?" Except for me. ”
"This grassland is not just yours." Ansu said calmly.
"Then I'll give you three days to find it."
"No, at least thirty days."
"No way!"
"It's a long way, thirty days."
"Ten days."
"Thirty days."
"Twelve days."
……
The two bargained, and in the end, Chief Samba gave Ansu sixteen days, and killed Simon before he could return in sixteen days.
"I'll be back as soon as I can." Ansu said.
"I trust the Captain." Simon nodded.
"I'll be back!" Ansu said in a loud voice to Chief Samba, "If anything happens to my companion in these sixteen days, don't blame me for being unkind!" Ansu slammed his fist into the withered acacia tree, and the trunk that a man could barely hold together was knocked out and fell to the ground with a dull thud.
The look on Chief Samba's face kept changing: "I hope you can keep your promise too." ”
The golden sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the warm smell of the sun came from the wind. Rainbow Meerkats looked at the sparkling lake in front of him and sighed faintly. The sunken red mound became a lake when it was filled with water, and Ansu may be buried at the bottom of the lake forever.
Suddenly, a black dot caught her eye. She sniffed hard in the air, smelled a familiar scent, and rushed forward with joy.
"Ann!"
Ann is so strong, she really didn't die.
Rainbow Meerkat hugged Ansu, and her tail swung happily behind her.
"You're not dead! You're not dead!! You're not dead!! She screamed, completely devoid of the queen's haughty and reserved posture.
A smile appeared on An Su's dusty and tired face: "Rainbow." "I've finally found the meerkats.
Rainbow Meerkat welcomed Ansu into her camp at the lake, the Cave, and instructed her guards to prepare a sumptuous meal today. The queen's entourage looked curiously at Ansu, a creature they had never seen before, and did not dare to say anything more, and took the order. Ansu found that none of the attendants had ever seen meerkats and that there were other coat colors in them, and after the catastrophe, the meerkats had to stop absorbing some meerkat from other races.
"Ann, where have you been all these days? I'm scared to death. ”
An Su was stunned, but she didn't expect that after only a while of getting along, the queen of the mongoose clan regarded herself as a real friend. She thought she was just a passer-by, and soon she would be brushed away from her memory.
She apologized: "I'm sorry, I was washed away by the river that time, and then I went to the Great Rift Valley. ”
"Ah, there's terrible creatures over there in the Great Rift Valley!"
"If you mean the people of Amandra, then I really met it."
"They're hairier than you." "I've traveled there before, and they've been murderous. I almost got eaten by them! Thinking of the terrifying experience in the past, Rainbow Fire Meerkat had palpitations.
"I've messed with them." An Su smiled helplessly, "And I want to ask you for a favor." ”
Rainbow Meerkats were silent for a moment and asked, "How can you help?" ”
"Dig a tunnel."
Chief Samba watched as the sun in the sky gradually moved westward, and there was only a lone blood-red sunset on the horizon. He coldly curled the corners of his mouth, waved his hand and ordered, "Tie up that foreigner!" ”
Taimo whispered to Simon, "She didn't come back. During this period of contact, Simon still couldn't bear it, and vaguely told Taimo about some abnormal changes. Taimo also noticed the strangeness of the body at the corner of his mouth, and although he was a little puzzled, he silently accepted some of Simon's suggestions. I don't know if it's a relationship influenced by the same energy, but the two feel a lot closer.
Listening to Taimo's words, Simon did not panic or cry bitterly, he just said calmly and firmly: "The captain will be back." ”
The curtain was lifted, and two Ammanrans came in with ropes, and they rudely opened the wooden cage, tied Simon tightly, and shoved them out.
"Isn't it time yet?" Taimo asked anxiously.
"This is the chief's order!" One of the Ammanrans pushed Temo away and escorted Simon out. Taimo frowned fiercely, couldn't she come back in time?
Simon was tied up and pressed to the open space in the center of the settlement, and the Amanrans kicked Simon's knee to try to get him to his knees, and Simon was a few heads taller than them, and they were not very balanced.
Simon, on the other hand, stood as solid as a rock, his gaze firmly fixed on the front.
Chief Samba approached with a spear that was black and apparently smeared with poison. There was a cruel and cold glint in his eyes.
This monster will die by his own hands after all! (To be continued.) )
