Chapter 8: Enchanting Nightshade
The tip of her nose is the alluring sweet fragrance of grass, Charlotte's white and tender little face is dyed orange, she looks like she is drunk, walking on the path pulled by the luminous mushroom, like bathing in fire, looking ahead is an endless sea of fire, and when she looks back, she can't see anything. Charlotte felt that the plants on the side of the road were getting brighter and brighter, as if they were about to burn, but there was no change outside the path, and it was still dark and unclear.
I'm so dizzy, why is it so hot? Charlotte almost thought she was really in a fire, and her limbs were gradually numbed by the paralysis of the nocturnal pollen, until she could no longer move, and Charlotte fell to the ground with a thud. There is a problem with this road! Charlotte was about to cry, shaking her head vigorously, she tried to stay awake, she refused to close her eyes, this is a wilderness, there are so many strange grasses, once she loses consciousness, she may not have a chance to wake up, her vision becomes more and more blurred, until she can't see anything, Charlotte closed her eyes in despair, and before she could close her eyes completely, there was a sound of grass and trees shaking behind her, and the sound should be a behemoth, Charlotte's mind was clearer, and she turned her head to see what was coming, Charlotte was even more desperate this time, she still couldn't see anything! Are you blind? Charlotte didn't have time to be sad, if it was a carnivore, then she would soon die, and it didn't matter if he was blind or not!
Charlotte should be glad she couldn't see, and if she could, she would be scared to death by the monster that was close at hand. She put all the strength of her body on her ears, nervously + one + book + read + novel xstxt to listen to its movements, and there was the sound of skin and flesh rubbing the ground in her ears, click, click, it was approaching itself! Did it see me? Charlotte was frightened by the conclusion, it was still moving towards itself, its body was weak like a bone had been pulled out, Charlotte had the heart to escape, but she had more than enough strength.
The damp snort sprayed on her face, causing goosebumps all over her body, and her slippery torso was strong and forceful, and she tightened Charlotte in a circle. I don't know where the mucus came out of nowhere and slid down Charlotte's neck to her lower abdomen, her shirt was soaked, and the sticky touch and blood did not flow smoothly made Charlotte very tormented, but Charlotte didn't dare to move, lest she be frightened by the monster to bite her.
Here, Windsor shouted all the way to search, but no clues were found, late at night, Windsor walked closer and closer to the center of the jungle, and the masked man tried his best to find Charlotte at first, and then he was silent, only following closely behind Windsor, not leaving half a step. The torch was about to be extinguished, and Windsor wanted to look deeper, but the masked man reached out and grabbed Windsor's reins, and Windsor was puzzled,
"Don't you know how dangerous it is here?"
Windsor understood, he didn't want to put himself in danger, Windsor patted the masked man's hand and said with a sneer,
"Sen, I know better than anyone else, so no one can kill me here!"
Sen's hand stiffened for a moment, and slowly let go of Windsor's reins, Windsor drove the horse on, and didn't take a few steps when he heard a faint sentence behind him, so light that he thought it was an auditory hallucination, and so heavy that he confused his breathing,
"Even if you know that the person you're going to kill, do you still want to go?"
Seeing Windsor's back frozen, Sen sighed imperceptibly and drove his horse to follow Windsor,
"Don't you want to leave? A little later, and the beauty will only have a pile of bones left. ”
At dawn, the magnificent red clouds piled up in the sky, Lucas searched the woods three or four times, and returned to the Golden Manor to learn that the other two teams had not found Charlotte, and Mr. Lucas pinned all his hopes on the Duke of Windsor.
In the hall, Lydia was nervous, walking back and forth, her ears were always paying attention to the movement outside, Katie couldn't hold back her sleep for a long time, Cinderella was still blinking, the servants in and outside the hall didn't dare to make a sound, Lydia's high heels hit the floor and made a crackling sound, and suddenly a footstep outside broke the suffocation in the hall, Lydia rushed out quickly and grabbed the servants who came up,
"Is it Mr. and Miss who are back?"
After speaking, he looked at the servant with expectant eyes,
"Sir is back,"
The servant came in a hurry, and before he could catch his breath, he was left behind by Lydia.
Cinderella couldn't wait to follow Lydia outside, and when she saw Lydia stop, Cinderella dodged behind a bush.
As soon as Lucas entered the gate, he met Lydia who came in a hurry, Lydia looked in the crowd, didn't see Charlotte, looked at Lucas suspiciously, Lucas received Lydia's inquiring eyes, bitter in his heart, and spoke hoarsely,
"Don't look for it, we searched for a night and didn't find it, now we just hope that the Duke of Windsor will have good news."
Lydia's eyes widened in surprise, she covered her mouth and said tremblingly,
"What do you say? Who didn't find it? What's going on?! Tell me clearly! ”
A crystal slid down the corner of Mr. Lucas's eye, dripping down his cheek and blossoming on the ground,
"Charlotte, it's Charlotte, woo,"
Mr. Lucas couldn't stop crying as he spoke, and the servants on one side were all in tears, whimpering in a low voice, Cinderella was relieved to see that her father was okay, who knew that she heard the news of Charlotte's disappearance, and her heart was inexplicably happy, Cinderella quickly suppressed this emotion, regardless of her eavesdropping, got up from the bushes, ran to Lucas in a few steps, and comforted her father softly.
"Why don't you go look for her, maybe Charlotte is waiting for you in some corner to save her, you go, you go to find her!" I beg you. ”
Lydia cried and pushed Lucas out, a little out of control, her gorgeous facial features were twisted because of pain, and after a while, she lost her strength and knelt on Lucas, Lucas had no choice but to stun Lydia and send someone to help her down to rest.
Cinderella was very proud at this time, she could see such a miserable side of this woman, Charlotte was really capable!
The dense forest became darker and darker, to the point that it was difficult to move an inch without torches, the Duke of Windsor ordered the soldiers to share one with each other, so as to save use, and sensing the Duke's determination to find Miss Charlotte, the soldiers searched hard, hoping to find it soon enough to go back to sleep.
It's a pity that the soldiers' wishes were not realized, until dawn, they didn't find Charlotte, Sen persuaded Windsor many times to end this clueless search, go down the mountain and meet Lucas to discuss together, to see if there are any valuable clues, Windsor didn't listen, stubbornly led the soldiers to continue, and finally they came to the fork in the road where Charlotte was in distress last night, there is no difference between the left and right roads, Windsor with a team, Sen with a team, separate to continue the search.
Sen walked on the path Charlotte chose, he always felt that the surroundings were strange, as if it was too quiet, although the fierce beasts lurked in the depths of the dense forest, but it was not as quiet as this road. Snorting, the smell in the air seemed to be absent, and then smelled, the smell seemed to be lighter again, Mori jumped off the horse, and sniffed in the direction of the stronger fragrance, stopping in front of a cluster of withered plants on the ground, Mori twisted a yellowed leaf and looked at it, there was a flicker of surprise in his eyes, he clutched the leaf, turned around and ran all the way, the road was easy to walk during the day, and it only took Sen a minute to run to the place where Charlotte was entangled by monsters. The mess on the ground, and the traces of crawling and dragging out of the animals on the roadside, all confirmed his terrible conjecture.
Windsor was whipping a soldier hard, his face was unconcealed with anger, and the soldier was drenched in blood and lay on the ground motionless. Sen ran over and stopped Windsor,
"Let's talk about it when we go back, you look at this."
As he spoke, he reached out and handed Windsor a leaf, and Windsor glanced at the plain leaf,
"What's so strange about this, it's everywhere."
"Take a closer look!"
Windsor took the leaf and looked at it carefully,
"You smell it again."
Windsor attached the leaf to the tip of her nose and took a deep breath, a sweet fragrance permeated her nose, faintly intoxicating. Windsor's face immediately turned blue,
"It's Nightshade?! Where did you find it? Take me there. ”
"I've seen it, yes, it's the Night Furry Light in your hand."
After Sen's words were finished, the Duke of Windsor closed his eyes in pain, his slender hands clenched the reins of the horse, and the green tendons on his beautiful erect neck jumped and jumped, and Sen was silent at the right time.
When he opened his eyes again, Sen seemed to see killing intent in Windsor's eyes, but it was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he could only see calm, as if nothing had happened, and only the red eyes could prove the man's pain.
