80F, Forbidden Places for Heroes - Brown Zone 2
Leo had told him about it.
They were stationed at the foot of the Greyridge Peak on the eastern side of the Lalgu Forest, and were preparing to set out early the next morning to exterminate the mountain bandits' nest halfway up the mountain.
It was nightfall, and before Ainsley could sleep, Leo came to him in a sneak peek, saying that Mokel had escaped. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Rio had seen Mokyl appear to be eavesdropping on Ainsley's conversation with his subordinate Connors earlier today.
Ainsley was not right, he was confirming the plan with Connors. This plan is what Moran's parents and her later learned - the story of his disappearance in the bandits.
"Did you hear that?" Ainsley interrogated.
Leo naturally shook his head and said that he didn't know, he was too far away.
Ainsley didn't care if what he said was true or not, but looking at his dog-legged appearance, he could take advantage of it.
At that moment, Ainslie organized several of his men, such as Connors, a good vice-captain, Reich, who was good at bows and arrows, Tvino who had a trained hound, and finally he and Leo, and several people tracked them down with the help of hounds.
Mokel didn't expect to be spotted so quickly, and when they caught up, Mokael was just moving at the speed of his usual march.
Desperate, Mokyl had no choice but to dive headlong into the Largu Forest, and although they had an argument, they chose to follow under Ainslie's final decision.
Ainsley and the others can travel twice as fast as Moran and them, not only because they have no burden, but also because they don't have Moran...... In a little more than a day, they arrived in the area where Moran was now.
To make it easier to distinguish, the area where the Ainslie tube has just entered the forest is called the red-brown zone, and here it is called the brown zone.
And here they found Mokel for the second time.
"This is it...... Tell me more about the time before and after you discovered Mokell. Ah Xuan said.
Ainsley glanced at the other party, although he looked expressionless, and his anger seemed to have subsided, but he felt that this inaction was even more terrifying.
"It was like this...... "Ainsley wisely chose to obey.
Although all of them are physically stronger than Moran, they are not iron men. Yesterday they had been on the road for a day, and last night they had been chasing Mokell, and although it was around noon, they had to take a break and hit the road again.
But the time of peace did not last long, and Tvino's hound "Little Pi" suddenly became alert, straightened up, and barked. Trevino took the hounds to check it out, but never returned.
Ainsley and the others sensed that something was wrong and chased them out. Immediately after, he found the same panicked Mokel, and without thinking about it, he chased after him.
It doesn't matter if you don't chase it, this chase is the beginning of the nightmare.
"Stop!" Ah Xuan stopped Ainslie, who was telling the story well.
The other party obediently shut up and said no more.
Ah Xuan rubbed his chin with one hand and asked, "Yours is Tvino and his dog was killed by Mokell?"
"Naturally. ”
"Why did you chase them out? Is it because you heard dogs barking or fighting?"
"No, it's just because he hasn't been back for too long......"
"No sound?"
"Nope. Ainsley said, "Maybe Mokail is hiding a hand." After all, it's the witch's younger brother. ”
Ah Xuan naturally knew the truth about the "witch" and did not agree with Ainslie's statement.
He frowned and continued to ask, "Did you see the corpse?"
Ainslie thought for a moment and shook his head.
"The smell of blood?"
"No, there isn't. We didn't find anything, only Mokell. ”
"What was Mokyl like when you saw him?"
He looked surprised and frightened, then turned and ran...... It's normal. ”
"Is there any blood on your body?"
"Blood?" Ainslie recalled, earnestly, "no...... Not only was there no blood, but Morkel had always maintained good personal habits, and he had always been the one who kept himself the best in the stinking knight's camp. ”
Ainsley even once suspected that Dolly told him that Morkel was a woman, but only saw him in a public bathhouse.
"The Mokel we saw was only a little embarrassed, but still in good spirits. ”
Ah Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter, "Suppose Tvino and his dog were killed by Mokaire, but he skillfully hid the corpse with no blood on his body, and then deliberately waited for you to catch up?"
Ainsley listened, and suddenly fell silent.
Indeed, this simply does not make sense.
If Mokel possessed enough strength to assassinate a knight and a trained hound, no one would object to calling him a qualified assassin.
And a qualified assassin now has two options, to lure with the corpse for a moment and sneak up while they look at the corpse. The second is to hide the corpse so as not to disturb the target.
The latter chose to be more cautious and should therefore wait until they act separately again......
But either way, it will not develop like it is now, and they will be easily discovered.
Or...... Mokyl didn't meet Tvino and his dog at all. Ah Xuan said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?!"
"I mean, Mokyl simply doesn't have the ability to deal with two people without making a sound. ”
"Who could that be?"
But Ah Xuan didn't answer, just kept silent, as if thinking about something.
I don't know if Ah Xuan led the development of things to a strange development, the night wind blew, and he felt a trace of ...... Urge to urinate.
"That...... I'll go over there and relieve myself. Ainsley said, "Together?"
Ah Xuan glanced at them coldly, "I'm here to guard them...... I believe that in such an environment, you don't have the courage to run away alone. ”
Ainslie said he had the courage to escape...... If he is allowed to carry a blade.
He got up and went not far away to find a tree, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Ah Xuan waving his hand in disgust, warning him to stay away.
Ainsley gave him a swear word, then turned and walked further away.
He looked over there again, only seeing the faint light of the fire, and he couldn't see the nasty face clearly, so he breathed a sigh of relief and began to solve his physical problems with confidence.
"Whew, it's so much easier...... What is that bitter gourd face talking about? Didn't Mokyl kill people? So where else can they run?"
Ainsley couldn't think of any reason for Tvino to run away, his parents relied on his father to make a living, and if he died here, according to his father's fiery temper, no matter what the truth was, the Tvino family would be unlucky.
Ainsley lifted his pants and went back, his steps slightly lighter.
It's definitely a bitter gourd face that thinks too much about itself.
Puff –
He had barely taken a few steps before he tripped over something under his feet and fell to the ground.
He cursed and stood up.
"Did you even bully Lao Tzu with a stone?"
Ainslie kicked him in an angry manner.
But...... The thing that was kicked away was a large black shadow, and the kicking feeling was obviously not something like a stone.
"What is it?"
Ainsley took two steps forward and picked it up, and by the light of the distant fire, he could see what was in his hand......
"This ...... Is this a skull?man?"
