Chapter Seventy-One: Barton Cheats to Death
Jerry was a little scared, but at the same time curious and excited.
He mustered his courage and walked through the dark gap between the trunks of the trees towards the direction in which the reindeer had appeared.
"It seems to be staring at us, and it has no intention of running away!"
Jerry quickened his pace, and could still see the reindeer standing in the grass.
"Keep up with it! Maybe something will be discovered! ”
Jerry thought the same thing, and he continued to walk forward, and there was a "crunch" under his feet, and the sound of stepping on a dead branch.
After walking for about ten minutes, Jerry saw the reindeer disappear into a wood.
Then, as if he saw a person, he looked closer and realized that it was a lamppost.
"Why is there a lamppost here?"
As he stared intently at the lamppost and thought about what to do next, he suddenly heard a "snap" of footsteps.
Momently, a strange-looking man came out of the woods, came under the lamppost, and looked at Jerry with two eyes winking.
"You, who are you?" Jerry asked nervously.
"You've seen me just now." The man smiled.
"Just now?" Jerry ran away in surprise.
When he stopped panting, he found the man again, with an extra bow and arrow on his back.
"If you run around like this again, I'm sure those things will wake up at any moment." The man said, looking in all directions.
"What, what?" Jerry glanced around, and felt that the sky was overcast, and there would be no rain.
"The danger is permanent." The man said.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Jerry said.
"You're not afraid of me anymore? You wanted to slip away just now! The man looked around warily.
"I just thought of my friend," Jerry said worriedly, "Excuse me, have you ever seen a girl here?" ”
"Girls? Oh no, we only have men there, never women. The man replied.
"I mean a girl, about this tall, with two tiger teeth, and when she laughs, two little dimples." Jerry struggled to describe what Bonnie looked like.
"We don't have any girls there." The man explained, "It's all men living together. The girl you're talking about shouldn't be from us, right? ”
He paused, "It's going to get dark soon, we have to get out of here and find a safe place to hide." ”
"Why are you hiding?" Jerry was surprised.
"What do you say? Of course, it's to avoid Roban. The man said worriedly, motioning for Jerry to go deeper into the woods.
"Don't stand here all the time, wait for it to get dark, Roban will come!" The man warned that he was cautious when he spoke of Roban.
"Who is Roban? You seem to be very afraid of him. Jerry followed him and walked deeper into the woods.
"Tell me first, what's your name? How did you find this place? Did you come from the wild woods to the east? The man asked curiously.
"I, I came in from a garden."
"I've never seen a garden around."
"Yes, when I came here, I had already come a long way, because we were lost, and we couldn't find the east, west, north, south, and north." Jerry blurted out.
"You guys? Did you bring a friend along? ”
"Oh!" Jerry covered his mouth and said that he had slipped out.
"I've only seen you here, and where is the friend who came with you?"
"I can't tell you where he is, I'm afraid I'll scare you."
"Alas!" "Well, I don't know much about the terrain around here, and even if you tell me where he is, I won't be able to find him!" ”
"My name is Tuna and I'm a hunter from Hush City. Husky Town is just a short distance ahead, and it's still summer in our place. Tuna said.
"The first time I heard about Husky City, what was that?" Jerry was curious, and he quickened his pace.
"Husky City!" Zhang Wuwei said in surprise.
He looked at the hunter named Tuna with magical eyes.
After a while, he slapped his leg and shouted, "Yes!"
"This is a fairy deer from the Hus Continent! Jerry, don't go any further! Zhang Wuwei shouted urgently.
"Did you find anything wrong?" Jerry rubbed his nose, he was asking Zhang Wuwei.
"The problem is very serious," Tuna said, his thick eyebrows almost erected, "right now, Roban and those things are looking everywhere for spirit beasts that can replenish their vitality, and before it gets dark, all the spirit beasts must be hidden, otherwise they will be eaten before dawn." ”
With that, Tuna shushed and dragged Jerry into a thick patch of grass and looked out cautiously.
Twilight finally fell, and the sky was getting dark.
After a while, it sank completely.
Several starspots appeared in the sky.
"How long are we going to wait here?" Jerry couldn't help but ask.
"Don't make a sound." Tuna shook his head and said.
After a while, his words changed, and he suddenly drew his bow and arrows quickly, and ran desperately after a dark shadow in front of him.
Sou! An arrow was fired, and a wail was heard.
Tuna's body rushed towards the black shadow and lifted it up with one hand, "Haha, what luck today!" These bad things are really easy to deal with! ”
He lifted a black object and walked back to Jerry.
"What is this?" Jerry hurriedly took two steps back, Tuna carrying a small wild boar with black hair and teeth in his hand.
"This is the bad thing, they often run out to prey on spirit beasts, destroying the aura layer here-"
Tuna's words were interrupted by a huge wheez.
"What's the sound?" Jerry was taken aback.
"Hide, Roban is here!"
Tuna threw the boar and kicked Jerry in the buttocks.
Jerry groaned, and the man fell into the grass with him, and there was no sound.
Tuna buried himself in another bush and quietly tightened his bow and arrow, aiming it in the direction from which the wheezing sound came, as he waited for Roban to appear.
"Come out!"
A deep, hoarse voice shouted.
"We've got to make up for it tonight, to suppress the shock, and to celebrate." The voice came from Jerry's right-hand direction.
"Okay," the other voice said cheerfully, moving to Jerry's right hand at the same time, "then you can deal with the big one, and I'll deal with the small one, how about it?" ”
"Of course, Barton." Said in a deep and hoarse voice.
"Barton......" Jerry couldn't remember where he'd heard the name, "I think I've heard it." ”
"He's an accomplice brought by Roban, Barton Lane." Tuna lowered his voice and said viciously.
"I'm sure I've heard the name, but I can't remember where. It seems to be ......," Jerry thought bitterly.
Jerry and Tuna both looked at the man named Barton in confusion, and his face slowly lifted in the moonlight.
- A pair of thick, red eyebrows that look particularly dazzling in the night light.
What do you mean by that, and what do you mean by "coping" with them? Roban said, as if he had just reacted.
"Of course, for us, they are of no use other than to replenish their vitality. Saying it's 'coping' is enough to give them face. Barton explained.
"I seem to remember that when you were in the Elven Valley, you also used 'coping' with those elves, and that fool of Cassie Xiaoer didn't know that you were really dealing with him."
"Can you stop talking about those nasty things? It's all turned over. Barton said with some annoyance.
"You've turned the page, but—did Erdo and the Polk gang turn the page? You've been hiding here for eighteen years. Roban said, gloating.
"Roban, use the right words. I came here to take refuge, out of necessity. Barton emphasized.
"What's the difference between taking refuge and hiding?" Roban scoffed.
"Luo Ban, do you still want to catch the big and small spirit beasts? Now when you talk about these cool words, what's the matter? How can I be blamed for that incident? I'm also forced to be helpless! ”
"Anyway, Cassie's fool is dead, and now there is no proof of death, and it's up to you Barton to say whatever he wants. But—"
Roban paused, "If Erdo Bugu knew about your death, he would definitely want to strangle you with his cat's paws, don't forget - it was you who revealed the route map of the elves' transfer to Brad back then." ”
"Brad!" Jerry was taken aback, he stretched his ears to listen, "I remember, he was the same Barton mentioned in my father's diary. ”
"He's not dead? He hid something from my father. Jerry muttered, "Why did he do that?" ”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a golden shadow sprang out from under a dense leaf and slammed into a tree to Jerry's right, which was silently clinging to its trunk.
- A small golden-tailed fox with three eyes.
As soon as it appeared, Roban and Barton rushed over and surrounded it in the middle.
Then, I heard the sound of stomping on the ground.
Jerry polished his eyes and saw that Roban, a man who was originally only two meters tall, suddenly turned into a sloth monster more than three meters high, and Barton stood beside him, like a child, and instantly became weak.
When Roban stood upright, its back was more than six meters long, and its strong and sharp claws were like blades, emitting a terrifying chill under the cold moonlight.
"It's coming! Let's get started, Roban! Barton exclaimed excitedly.
Roban rushed over, and as it walked, Jerry felt the trees around him shake, and the ground shook.
Roban's forelimbs grabbed at the tree where the little golden-tailed fox was staying, and the little golden-tailed fox screamed in horror.
Jerry's mouth opened wide in surprise at the same time, he heard the big tree make a "creaking" sound, and it was directly grabbed by Roban's sharp claws, and the tree collapsed with a bang.
"Don't make a sound." Tuna reminded Jerry in a low voice.
The ground around him shook violently, and the figure of the little golden-tailed fox scurried desperately towards another large tree.
Seeing that Roban's big claws were about to swing, Jerry closed his eyes in fright.
At this time, there was a sound of "horn" and "horn" nearby.
A large golden-tailed fox that was more than two meters tall suddenly pounced from behind Roban and bit Roban fiercely.
Roban snorted, and Barton was furious, quickly lifted his repeating crossbow and fired a dozen bolts at the big golden-tailed fox.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows were easily dodged by the golden-tailed fox!
"Hurry up and grab it! The big one is coming! Barton exclaimed excitedly, and he looked around through the dense grass for the Great Golden-tailed Fox.
After a while, the grass behind Barton moved, and the little golden-tailed fox, trembling, emerged from under the grass with a head that cooed and looked terrified.
Rumble! It was swept away by the paw of Roban, who suddenly came from behind it.
The body of the little golden-tailed fox hit the hard trunk of the tree, wailed, and fell into the grass, losing its voice.
Barton laughed: "Roban, your combat power is really getting stronger and stronger, even if Cassie Xiaoer is resurrected, he must not be your opponent!" ”
Roban happily slapped his chest with his long arm, and in the midst of this slap, full of triumph, he took two steps, shaking the ground a little, and declared his victory.
