Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Prey in Sleep
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Prey in Sleep
The two of them couldn't help but think of the crippled human slave, if the old man with the flying sword found out that he had been tricked, with that person's ability, it would not be a problem at all to find the surviving human slave, and at that time, they would not be able to hide it if they wanted to.
The two of them, who had just risen hope, had an ominous premonition almost at the same time.
Qingying said hatefully: "I really shouldn't have pitied him at that time, otherwise..."
Xiao San interrupted Qingying's speech and comforted: "Don't think about it, it's come to this, it's too late to regret it, let's hurry as soon as possible, as long as we can escape to a crowded place, then the old man will not be able to find us, if I encounter the situation again, I will still choose to save him, remember what Uncle Qingfeng said?"
"Use our own strength to help more people, we can't be as insensitive as those people, if we do that, we will become like that sooner or later, understand?"
Qingying didn't refute or agree, but silently quickened the pace of her feet.
Looking at the little figure passing by, Xiao San didn't dwell too much on this issue.
"Qingying, why did you think of asking that old man to go to the cave to find it?"
Xiao San paused, and after hesitating, he still said his thoughts, "That's where Uncle Qingfeng is buried, and no one should disturb him anymore." ”
Hearing Xiao San's question, Qingying suddenly stopped her steps.
Xiao San, who was walking behind, also stopped, and suddenly felt that this sentence was wrong, and he should not question the little girl's disrespect for her own father.
"My father is gone, dissipated into heaven and earth, leaving nothing behind. Qing Ying said coldly, her tone seemed to suppress the anger and grief in her heart!
This is when Xiao San was unconscious, the little girl held a knife and put it on the neck of the crippled slave, and asked it, it would never be fake.
"Yes, no..."
"It's okay, San'er. Qingying interrupted.
"I thought that if the old man had such great ability, if he had asked him to find out for himself, he would have found the truth at once, and it would be better to let him go to the cave to find out, which would buy us more time. The little girl continued.
Xiao San nodded, she really admired this resourceful little chivalrous girl in her heart, in that case, she could still think of so much.
As everyone knows, it was not the little guy's inspiration at that time, and at this time, the two of them were afraid that they would also be like Dong Xiong's gang and become two cold corpses.
Coincidentally, Qingying's mistake really frightened this old Jianghu and made him waste two days in vain.
The so-called creation makes people, I'm afraid that's the case, in fact, how did the little girl know that Mengfei also chose the same way of death as her father at that time, and they all blew themselves up and died, so that they could get the conditions to blind the boundless dream.
In the next half a day, after the two discussed, they felt that it was necessary to go to some dense forests where the vegetation was more vigorous or more remote and quiet, the surviving stump slave was like a time bomb, as long as the old man with the flying sword learned the truth, he would inevitably come to chase and kill the two, so the little three and the two had to be guarded.
It's strange to say, after noon, Xiao Sanqingying walked forward more and more quietly, not to mention meeting some small animals, even some birds and insects that had been chirping all day long were gone.
Based on the experience and intuition of the little three and a half hunters, this place seems to have a chill everywhere.
Xiao San motioned for Qingying to stop, and the more he walked, the more creepy he felt, and he always felt that the two of them seemed to be approaching death step by step.
Xiao San suddenly remembered that he had heard Qingfeng mention by chance before, some powerful fierce beasts will have their own territory for breeding or perching, they don't like any other creatures to get close, the more powerful the beast, the more so, once a creature crosses the thunder pool half a step, it will inevitably kill it!
Nine times out of ten, Xiao San felt that this was the territory of the fierce beast that Qingfeng was talking about, but he didn't have any experience with the situation in front of him, so he could only rely on his intuition and retreat the same way.
Xiao San tried his best to suppress the lowest voice, and softly called Qingying to retreat, but after calling twice, he didn't see the little girl agree, only to see her looking at something stupidly.
In desperation, Xiao San had to get close to Qingying and try to take her away from here, but when he stepped forward and had the same perspective as Qingying, his eyes couldn't be taken off like her.
I saw that in the messy grass and trees not far from Qingying, there was a white flower object horizontally, because the grass and trees were blocked, I couldn't see how long, but the width of the object was wider than Qingying's small body, and after Xiao San carefully identified it, his pupils contracted to the size of a needle tip, and it turned out to be the snake of a giant snake.
Before the two of them could react, a foul smell hit, and the two of them looked at the situation, only to feel the yin wind and compassion, and the white bones were all over the distance, which was estimated to be the remains of the prey that the giant snake could not digest and spit out.
Xiao San pulled up Qingying and ran back, the two of them suddenly felt that the world was turned upside down behind them, the tall vegetation was crushed and collapsed all the way, the little girl could no longer care about the image of a chivalrous woman, and after screaming twice, the two slender legs seemed to pick up a gust of wind, and it was a trend to throw Xiao San behind.
Xiao San, who had been running for a while, seemed to feel that nothing was keeping up, and glanced back, but saw a big snake that was thicker than a bucket, confronting something.
Xiao San had the courage to stop and found a hidden place to observe, but saw a beast that looked like a mink and a non-mink, and was in a stalemate with the giant snake, although this guy was much bigger than the scavenging beast, but it still looked thin in front of the giant snake.
After the two stalemate for a while, they fought again, what Xiao San didn't expect was that the guy was surprisingly flexible, and he actually let the giant snake eat deflated everywhere, but the giant snake couldn't touch that guy at all, and after several battles, in the end, the giant snake couldn't parry, and there were signs of escape.
In the end, the two fought farther and farther away until they disappeared from Xiao San's sight.
Looking dumbfounded, Xiao San naturally didn't dare to follow him, and hurriedly chased after Qingying's route.
didn't chase far, Xiao San heard a cry, and when the owner of the cry saw that it was Xiao San, he immediately threw away the dead branches and daggers in his hand, and rushed into Xiao San's arms with one arrow step.
Qing Yingdong touched it, looked at it in the west, and said worriedly: "San'er, you're okay, I thought..."
"It's okay, Xiao San's life is very big, and he can't die. Xiao San smiled.
Dare to love this little girl who thinks that she is in a bad situation, and she wants to save herself with the guy.
The barren forest is vast, and there are many fierce beasts in it, and it is only a few days away, Xiao San and Qingying have encountered such a powerful beast, it is conceivable that the terrifying existence in the deeper part of the barren forest will have such a powerful desolate monster power.
The frightened two didn't dare to go to those inaccessible dense forests anymore, so they had to rely on Xiao San's experience again to find some places where there were signs of human activity.
The two of them hurried desperately, hoping to find a safe place to stay before dark.
But in the vast barren forest, you can find an ideal resting place casually.
But after all, God was still kind to the two, and before dusk, the two saw a hunter from a distance, with some prey, and it was not surprising that he was rushing to his tribe.
The two of them were so excited that they almost jumped up, and hurriedly greeted the man from afar.
After some conversation, the hunter pointed them to where to settle and told them which direction they should go if they wanted to get out of the woods.
The two carried a weed chicken until the hunter disappeared from their sight.
Perhaps, this is already the greatest gift.
In fact, Qingying thought that the man would take them back to his tribe with him, but he didn't know that people didn't mean this at all, and he could share some of the prey you had worked so hard to get as the greatest favor.
It is estimated that this is still the reason why there is a little girl among the two, otherwise it is hard to say whether people will draw their knives against each other if they meet a junior with a knife in his hand and dressed in a vicious fight.
In this wilderness, it is a little strange for a person to walk in the barren forest with a little girl, and coupled with the hurried appearance of the two, it is inevitable that people will not be vigilant.
The small mountain villages and small tribes in the barren forest, which is not asking for a stable life, there is a risk of burning themselves, they will definitely not provoke, besides, people like Qingfeng can't find a few, no one is willing to bring some people of unknown origin home, in case it is some bad people, wouldn't it lead wolves into the house.
The two of them finally arrived before dark, and successfully found the place where the hunter had landed.
According to the hunter, a small village that had been abandoned for a long time, most of the houses in the village had collapsed, and according to the hunter, it had been attacked by a fierce beast, and overnight, the whole village had been beaten by the beast's poisonous hands and became the beast's food.
But I don't know how many years have passed, and I'm afraid the beast won't come again.
The quiet village is really a little scary, Qingying followed closely behind Xiao San, pulling the corner of his clothes, for fear of losing it.
In the end, Xiao San finally found a dilapidated stone house that could barely shelter from the wind and rain, and dispersed the aborigines who had lived here for an unknown amount of time, such as those snakes, insects, rats and ants.
When the bonfire was lit up again and the room was lit up, Qingying was finally no longer so afraid.
The little girl was hungry for a few days, and before the junior roasted the grass chicken to the best state, the little guy couldn't wait to nibble on his share.
Looking at the little guy's appearance of being reincarnated as a starving ghost, Xiao San still gave his share of chicken legs and chicken wings to the little girl, and was so moved that the little girl said that she wanted to marry Xiao San when she grew up.
Frightened, Xiao San shook his head.
After eating and drinking, Xiao San sorted out the only tattered bed in the stone house for Qingying to rest, and it can be regarded as repaying the "bed grace" that he owes the little guy for a long time.
Everything settled down, Xiao San also wanted to sleep beautifully, since he found out that Qingfeng's family was in distress, he had never slept peacefully, either running away overnight, or those thrilling "memory recovery" in his dreams, or hovering on the edge of blackening in pain.
According to what the hunter said, if the direction is good, you can get out of the barren forest in four or five days, and Xiao San just wants to keep his spirits up now and leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
The campfire was still alive and well, with the occasional crackling sound of wood popping.
The fatigue that had been piling up for a long time made the two quickly fall asleep.
····
A fast-moving figure shuttled through the dense forest, especially his black and red clothes, making it even more difficult for him to detect at night.
It wasn't until a small, dilapidated village that the man stopped.
The man walked towards a stone house with a fire, and he didn't see how he deliberately lowered his steps, but his steps were so steady that he couldn't hear a sound.
Killing people in his sleep is what he is most willing to do and what he is best at.
In particular, he didn't want to disturb his sleeping prey.
