Chapter 472: A Silent Rapid March
"Grand Elder Hepburn, we were brought here after you knocked us out, and now you won't use the same method."
Thomas's interrogation sentence is full of uncooperative meaning, and Cloud Shadow is a little clear - for the former, it should be a very embarrassing thing for the nobles to be stunned without resistance, it seems that Thomas and his party were also carried by the unconscious, but they don't seem to know about the existence of two giant monsters, so what is Hepburn going to do now, is it to risk destroying the relationship to stun Thomas again, or let the druid's secret be exposed? For the annoying ghosts pinching each other, the cloud shadow said that he was very interested in watching.
"Not this time—"
Well? No, don't you have to stun them? Cloud Shadow pursed his lips, it seemed that Hepburn was going to back down, he wanted the two giant beasts to appear......
"Please follow me, walk in my footprints one by one, don't make a mistake, or you will live underground forever."
Hey? Before Cloud Shadow could finish thinking, Hepburn suddenly walked into the swamp without warning, and what was even more amazing was that he was standing on it intact!
"Oh my God!"
At this time, even Thomas let out a low voice, it's not that he hasn't explored the surrounding environment these days, but the place where Hepburn is standing now is obviously a bottomless swamp, how is this possible...... Whether it was or not, Raymond had already walked into the swamp for the second time, his foot just on the footprints that Hepburn had pulled up a moment earlier, and he stood on the swamp just as steadily.
"It's amazing, no wonder the druids live in a place like this, the swamp is of no use to you at all!"
Thomas finally relented and stepped on the footprints that Raymond had raised, and one by one the others joined the peculiar walk, with Cloudshadow and Gillie sandwiched between the Rog guards, and Griffin behind, no one noticing that the swamp returned to its squishy state when his feet passed the footprints left by the man in front of him.
"It's amazing."
Cloud Shadow turned his head sideways to look at Hepburn, who was walking first, and his weighty steps seemed to carry a force that could change everything, suddenly. Cloud Shadow saw a flash of golden light under the latter's feet, was that some kind of druid's unique secret technique?
Besides, Hepburn and their walk is seven or eight hours, everyone's three meals are solved in the march, such a long journey is a little unbearable for people who practice martial arts, you must know that Hepburn is old and strong, and the pace of walking can definitely catch up with the trot.
"Grand Elder Hepburn, how long do we still need to go? Where are you going to rest tonight? ”
Seeing that it was almost dark, Thomas spoke first. As a soldier, he understands that only a well-rested fit can withstand unknown dangers, especially in such a complex swamp.
"Hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to see some trees in no time, and it will be safer for so many of us to rest there."
Hepburn's consideration was definitely in line with everyone's wishes, and the thought of resting made everyone's gradually procrastinating pace rise again.
"Ah, it's here!"
With Zorro's cheerful shout, Cloudshadow saw the stout trees that were half submerged in the swamp. Well...... A little familiar, Cloud Shadow suddenly remembered that he should have been stunned around here before, it seems that their results this day are not bad, if they continue to do so at this rate, they will walk out of this swamp in one day at most.
"Okay, everyone, please be careful to climb the tree, there may be highly venomous snakes on it, and don't climb too high, find a place to rest quickly, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning."
Hepburn's calm voice came from the darkness not far away, and it was completely dark at this moment. Human eyesight is no longer functional. But for the druids, it was a piece of cake, and all beasts could see in the dark.
"Cloud Shadow, hold my arm."
Raymond and Cloudshadow climbed onto a tree at some point, and he grabbed the latter's hand and led him to a large branch—enough for Cloudshadow to nest for one night, and he himself quickly settled down on another branch, and Gillie, who had been guarding Cloudshadow, rested on the same tree.
"Hey, who has flint. Light a fire, I can't see the branches. ”
Compared to Cloud Shadow's smoothness, Thomas and the others were much more troublesome, especially the guy in the pro-guard team who had choked with Cloud Shadow, only to hear him climb the slippery tree trunk with one hand and suddenly shout.
"Stupid...... Using fire in the woods, do you want us not to be drowned in the swamp but burned to death? ”
Hepburn's deep voice slowly came from not far from the right hand side of Cloud Shadow, although the voice was not loud, but surprisingly no one dared to raise objections. After all, it was the old man who walked in the swamp now, and if he was angered, he would not have any good fruit to eat. It's just that Yunying seems to be a little unsteady when he listens to Hepburn's breath. It should be tired, and he has to travel for more than ten hours when his soul power is seriously injured by Louisville - Hepburn is desperate, but why is he in such a hurry, Yun Ying doesn't believe that guy is in a hurry to save Yin Feng, so what is it for?
"Raymond, do you know why your father is in such a hurry?"
Following his thoughts, Cloud Shadow whispered to Raymond, who was leaning between the branches above her.
“…… I don't know. ”
Unlike the usual questions and answers, Raymond's voice was muffled at the moment, obviously not wanting to say more, Yun Ying understood that it must be the conversation with Griffin when he went to see Hepburn yesterday that made this guy suspicious, and he finally really realized that Yun Ying's "not recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors" was not a joke.
“…… Cloud Shadow, let me ask you, what happened the night before yesterday? ”
Raymond's voice was as small as a whisper, but Thomas and the others were suddenly gone—Raymond's voice was enough to hear the corner of the wall for a group of well-trained guys.
"I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, it's too busy, but I still have to warn you that I'm not trustworthy."
Cloud Shadow wouldn't satisfy Thomas's curiosity, but for the sake of Raymond being tricked into helping him so many times, she could still say the last half of her sentence in a normal tone, which seemed unusually loud in such a quiet swamp forest.
"Hmph."
I don't know who snorted softly, and the sudden disappearance of Thomas's movement just now sounded again, and Raymond didn't speak all night, and the atmosphere in the darkness still maintained a semblance of calm.
The next morning, when the warm sunlight shone on Yunying's face again, she woke up and looked around, everyone was opening their eyes one after another.
