Chapter 41: Death Valley
"What are you talking about, boy! When did we rob the yodelers! The bald head on the side shouted and kept glaring at the thin man.
But the thin man seemed to be completely oblivious to his reminder, and repeated to Timo, "Yes, sir, we have robbed quite a few yodelers, after all, they are worse than the other races. ”
"Boom!" Before the bald man could speak again, Tristana blasted a large hole in his chest, and then she blew the green smoke from the muzzle of the cannon and motioned for the thin man to continue.
The thin man's face was already stained with a lot of blood and bone residue splashed on the bald head at this time, and his face was frighteningly white, and the clothes on his back were all wet with sweat and stuck to his body. He had been gambling on whether he would survive after telling the truth, and he always felt that these two yodelers who didn't know where they came from seemed to be able to easily see through their lies.
"We're basically going to rob what we can deal with here, and if it's an ordinary civilian, we'll consider doing it if it's less than five people; If it's a soldier, we'll only pick a squad of less than three people; And in the case of yodelers, sometimes we dare to try ten people. We don't pick much of what we rob, from supplies to money, we want everything. But we have never harmed anyone, we have always taken each other's things and let them go after taking them away. Except for the soldiers of Noxus, after all, they are the ones who killed us, and we have to live the life we are living now. ”
"I can't see that you still have a national complex." Ling Tianmao stood aside and laughed mockingly, in his opinion, as long as he made a move against the civilians, all his actions were just to cover up the greed in his heart. In this kind of wilderness, what difference does it make if you plunder other people's luggage and supplies and kill them?
"That's not all for that, we're afraid they'll find out where we are and bring the Noxus troops to trouble us. But believe me, we didn't kill anyone but the soldiers of Noxus. The thin man obviously didn't hear the ridicule in Ling Tianmao's words, and explained seriously.
"You really haven't killed anyone? Yodelers have been going missing around here lately, and it really has nothing to do with you? Tristana looked incredulous.
"This ...... We really don't know...... We really didn't kill them...... There really isn't a ......" The thin man didn't seem to know how to explain it, but repeated these words over and over again.
"I know, I know, it must be because of Death Valley." The bearded beard, who had never had a chance to speak, suddenly interjected.
"Death Valley?"
"Yes, yes, my house used to be near here, and a little further west from here, there was a valley, which we used to call Death Valley, and nine times out of ten people who went there couldn't come back, so no one rushed there. Of course, this is mainly known to the people in our village, and the rest of the people should not be clear, so I guess your friend may have accidentally strayed there......"
"Is everything he said true?" Tristana asked the thin man who was sitting on the side.
"I ...... I didn't know, but I used to live on a mountain from here, and I hadn't heard anyone in the village talk about these things. The thin man didn't dare to lie to Tristana anymore and replied truthfully.
Tristana beckoned to the two behind her, and the three of them came a little further away and began to discuss, leaving the thin man and the bearded man in place waiting for their trial.
"Do you think they're telling the truth?"
"I don't want to believe a few bandits, but should we follow along?" Timo suggested by touching his furry chin.
"I think there's some credibility to what he said."
"Huh?" Tristana and Teemo both looked at Ling Tianmao.
"Come to think of it, the portal to Bandel City has only been in this location recently, and there has been no large-scale disappearance of the yodelers who came out before, which means that the problem must be in this area."
"Don't talk nonsense, of course we know this, otherwise we wouldn't have come here to investigate." Timo interrupted Ling Tianmao's words impatiently.
"Don't be in such a hurry. If you think that the guys just now, they admitted that they had robbed the yodelers, so what they said should be relatively credible, otherwise they would have denied it in the first place or made up some other excuse. And in this area, they should be considered a large bandit organization, if there is any major movement in this area recently, they can't be completely unclear, then it is very likely that there are some problems in this area, which can be correct with what the bearded man said. ”
"Then how do you know that what the beard said is true? Most likely, he made up a makeshift reason to stay alive? Timo still didn't quite agree with Ling Tianmao's words.
"A lot of companions suddenly disappeared in one place, this is a very unusual thing, and the reason for explaining this must be extraordinary, so thinking about it, this statement of what kind of death valley may be the most reasonable, I believe that there can't be no robbers or beasts in the place where the portal was located before, right?"
"You have a point, there have been incidents of robbers murdering or beast attacks around the portal before, but never before have they been so dense. Recently, almost half of the companions who came out of Bandle City and came here have disappeared for some reason. ”
"But all of what you said is your guess, and you have no evidence to prove that the Death Valley that guy said is real, and there is no way to prove that it has anything to do with what we are going to investigate this time." Timo saw that Tristana seemed to believe Ling Tianmao's statement a little, and hurriedly continued to refute.
"Actually, there is a very simple way for us to know whether this valley of death exists or not, and whether it has anything to do with these disappearances."
"How?"
Ling Tianmao pointed to the beard over there: "Let him take us." ”
Timo was silent for a while, he really didn't like Ling Tianmao, who looked like a human but insisted that he was a yodeler, and Tristana seemed to have a crush on him. But when it comes to the safety of his companions, his sense of responsibility and conscience makes him have no choice, and I have to say that what Ling Tianmao said may be the simplest and most efficient solution now.
"It's a good idea, I don't have a problem." Timo whispered.
Tristana also agreed with this approach, and the three of them again approached the two bound robbers.
