Volume 1 Deadly Sins 07 The set time of death
The sky was gloomy and the ground was devastated, and the two figures carefully crossed the bottomless chasm in this barren and vast wilderness. The wind was fierce, and the force of the wind made a dull crash against the two cold bone armors, and if you listened carefully enough, you could faintly hear the soft hiss of snakes in those dark ravines.
In fact, Zheng Ming didn't say that You'er knew in his heart that a character like her would not participate in such actions from time to time, not only did he remember the conversation he overheard Zheng Ming's father and son two days ago.
It was getting late, and as usual, You'er was supposed to go to the young master's house to add some firewood for him, but before he got to the door, You'er heard someone and the young master seem to be arguing, and the content of the dispute was nothing more than whether it was necessary to keep the hunting team formation.
She heard the young master report the injustice of those deceased pioneers, and it was at that time that she understood why the young master had such strange thoughts, and after overhearing the conversation that night, You'er suddenly felt a little pitiful for the young master in front of her.
Maybe he wants to live more than all of us, maybe he's the most normal person......
Maybe that world really exists......
Zheng Ming didn't know what was going on in You'er's mind, and he didn't ask why You'er chose to join the team with him, he only knew that now they were most likely facing a huge crisis, and there seemed to be an unknown number of lizardmen lurking under these ravines, Zheng Ming tried his best to keep breathing, adjust his state, and the movements on his hands and feet became lighter, and he didn't forget to pat You'er on the back, he had to stabilize You'er's mood as soon as possible, he had no way to take care of You'er in such a situation.
Now he regretted his decision a little, he felt as if he had gone too far, and he was even a little worried that the bone armor on his body would be scratched by the lizardman's claws.
Sensing Zheng Ming's movements, You'er felt a trace of warmth in her heart, the original panicked emotions were indeed relieved a little, and she also knew that now was not the time to be timid and cowardly, if one of them was not careful, both of them were very likely to be attacked by these beasts hiding in the shadows.
You'er also knew that they had no way out, and the moment the young master decided to go out hunting, she understood that the purpose of this trip was only one, either to successfully hunt a lizardman and bring it back to the camp, or like all the team members in the past ten years, the wreckage was found during the next camp collection, according to what she knew about Zheng Ming, she knew very well that Zheng Ming would not choose to escape, and after figuring out all this, this immature girl chose to face the fear of death for the first time.
I saw You'er let go of Zheng Ming's arm and pressed back to back with him, and the corners of her mouth trembled faintly because of the violent psychological fluctuations.
"Yes, didn't you make up your mind to follow the young master a long time ago?"
"Under the young master's repeated opposition, didn't he insist on participating in the hunt with the young master?"
"What's the deal with being scared now?"
Yuer thought so.
"Young master, you don't have to worry about You'er, You'er also has bone armor, I will protect myself"
Hearing what You'er said, Zheng Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, just like his analysis before, if You'er was still in this state during the battle, then she would probably die.
Looking at the camp not far behind him, he couldn't tell what he was guarding, this trip was actually not entirely an impulsive choice, and there was an ulterior secret.
The father accurately recorded the time of death of everyone in the camp, today is the fourth day after the collection, on this day, according to the prophecy in the book, he will organize four tribesmen to participate in the hunt, and then the father mentioned how miserable the four tribesmen who participated in the hunt will die, and the father wants to know if he can change all this, after all, he is the only person in the book who has been recorded to die many times but survived, so after discussing with his father, he took the opportunity of the funeral to announce the hunting.
For the people in the camp, this operation is to give an account to the compatriots who have died in the past ten years, but for Zheng Ming, it is an extremely important exploration.
Because, again, the book records his death, the scene of being brutally pounced on by many lizardmen.
It was the uncertainty of that book that caused him to have to take care of You'er, he was happy for You'er's choice, but he was worried that You'er would die early because of his choice.
The time of Yu'er's death is not today, but a month later, and a month later they will face the biggest crisis in ten years, I don't know why, for that crisis, the only time in the book does not record its origin in detail, only that the black clouds have swept over, and they will all be wiped out, and no one will survive.
Their time is running out.
"You'er, I'm going to fight hard this time"
Feeling the more and more violent fluctuations under his feet, Zheng Ming knew that they were coming!
Before Zheng Ming's reminder fell, there was a burst of exclamations from the other side of the camp, not because of what was happening in the camp, but because these lizardmen appeared above Zheng Ming and You'er out of thin air.
With the appearance of the lizardmen, the trembling of the earth stopped correspondingly, and time seemed to stand still at this moment, Zheng Ming could almost see the faces from the camp, some panicked, some worried, some panicked, and some surprised.
Wait a minute.
Surprised?
Zheng Ming was suddenly very grateful for his habit of observing, and following those uncoordinated gazes, he was able to detect the sudden appearance of lizardmen at the first time, and these lizardmen were descending with their teeth and claws at great speed.
He reacted at a fraction of a second, not dodging, but pushing Yu'er away, exposing himself to the siege.
You'er, who was pushed away, staggered around, the eyes of the two met, and she saw the tenderness in Zheng Ming's eyes.
"You'er, a girl of your age should run in the sun, laugh among the flowers, and be pampered by her fathers"
"You'er, you're about the same age as me, why do you always like to kneel on the ground and call me young master"
"Yu'er, can I tell you a story, you must listen carefully"
"You'er, don't all of you think I'm sick?"
"You'er, your life is the young master's, you can't die without the young master's consent"
Memories are a ruthless knife that is always remembered when it should not be present.
Many people have felt this way, and some inadvertent memories may be rooted in the bottom of their hearts, and after a certain opportunity, if the levee collapses, these memories will be like a flood.
You'er staggered around, startled by the scene in front of her, and only had time to scream, raising her thin and muddy arms, hoping to hold Zheng Ming.
She didn't do it, she only felt farther and farther away from Zheng Ming.
It didn't take long for Zheng Ming to be dressed in cold bone armor and was completely overwhelmed by the lizardman who suddenly appeared.
At the last moment, he didn't forget to shout it
"Run!"
The exclamations in the camp had not yet died down, but two more screams of pain were heard.
