22 camping
The night town that Malone saw in the game was a scary place; There are ogres, werewolves, Defia bandits, evil mages, stitchers and undead.
In the current night town, this qiē should not have appeared yet, but Ma Long will have to wait for a while if he wants to confirm his idea.
Almost as soon as they embarked on the river crossing, Malone and Elo Eberlock's refugee team ran into trouble.
The beast has become a big problem for the team to move forward.
A team of nearly three hundred people, counting some baggage, this team is not long, but it is not short, and a dozen Xiquan garrisons are not enough to protect the safety of this team.
Although Elo Eberlock and Malone had tried their best to make the refugee group more compact, the soldiers of the Westspring garrison were unable to stop them completely in the face of constant harassment from wild beasts, and the soldiers of the Westspring garrison frequently ran around the sides of the group.
"Are you alright?"
Ello Eberlock asked, crouching next to a young man.
"Also...... Ok......"
The man replied, though the frowning brow and the shaking body betrayed his true feelings.
"The wound is no longer bleeding, but it hurts...... I can only endure it. ”
Elo Eberlock stood up and pressed the young man on the shoulder.
"It's okay, Daddy Error, I can bear this pain......"
The young man struggled to his feet, gritted his teeth and said, supported by his companion next to him.
"That's good, that's good......"
Elo Eberlock muttered a few words, then turned around and saw Malone and Paul at a glance, of course, his daughter Althea Eberlock following Marlon like a fart, El Ro Eberlock had long been used to it.
"Fortunately, the spider didn't have time to inject venom, and his leg was saved."
Elo Eberlock said to Malone.
"That's a blessing......
Malone said.
Not long ago, as the refugee procession was advancing, a huge, silvery-white spider emerged from its underground nest, picked out the hapless young man, and bit him on the thigh.
Luckily, a soldier from the West Springs garrison was nearby, and with a single sword, he severed the junction between the spider's chest and abdomen, and the dark green body/fluid sprayed everywhere, but now it seemed that his operation was undoubtedly successful.
"It's a dangerous place...... Maybe my advice is wrong, and it would be safer for us to travel on the other side of the river. ”
Malone said with some guilt.
During the game, Malone has seen this giant spider more than once, but it is only when he sees it with his own eyes, albeit just a corpse, that he truly realizes the horror of this hunting animal.
With huge pointed jaws, legs full of barbs and sharp spines, bulging abdomen with strange eye-like patterns, and those disgusting green juices that smell like this, Malone never imagined that such a small spider would be so terrifying when enlarged.
This giant spider, as terrifying as it is, is not the only predator in the twilight forest; Malone and the others have also encountered lone bears, swarms of wolves, and a giant falcon that was about to become dinner when it was shot down by Paul with a crossbow arrow.
After facing these difficulties, Malone couldn't help but begin to doubt whether the judgment he had made was accurate.
"Don't say that, these beasts, as terrible as they are, are better than orcs."
Elo Eberlock comforted Malone and said.
"Marlon, how far are we from Nighttown?"
Althea asked cautiously as she followed behind Malone.
Despite her lively personality, Althea is a girl after all, and she has no resistance to anything like spiders.
Just seeing the corpse of the giant spider and the green body/fluid already made Althea a little distracted; It is conceivable that if the spider had chosen this girl as its prey, the others would have had no time to react, and she would have been scared to death.
Fearing that more spiders would emerge from the woods or underground, Althea wished that the team would be able to "swish" to Nightlight and avoid the spiders.
"It may be a few more days, you see, it's completely dark here...... Let's find a safe place to rest first. ”
Malone answered Althea's question.
"How many more days? But ......"
The thought of that terrible spider made Althea's heart beat a drum, and the feeling of wanting to fight the orcs to the death on the battlefield was completely gone.
"I'm going to find Richard, it's so dark, it will take a lot of time to tell everyone to stop and prepare for camp."
Elo Eberlock nodded, and turned to walk towards the front of the group.
"Malone, I'm a little scared of ......"
Malone had planned to continue to patrol the front and back of the team to see if there were any beasts that were about to move, but Althea suddenly stopped him.
Turning around, Marlon looked at the pitiful look on Althea's face, and couldn't help but feel funny - this girl shouted that she was going to fight the orcs before crossing the river, right?
"Then follow me, and if any beasts dare to come out, I will kill them."
Malone smiled at Althea, then patted her on the shoulder.
"Oh......"
Althea nodded subconsciously, I don't know why, after listening to Ma Long's promise, her nervous mood suddenly became relieved.
If...... can just follow Marlon all the time...... Even if it's a big spider or something, it doesn't matter, right?
Closely following Marlon, looking at his burly back under the heavy armor, Althea thought secretly in her heart.
Soon after, Elo Eberlock and Richard the Bearded had chosen a place to camp for the night, and the refugees gathered together to move their baggage and tents to the camp, and because of the peculiarities of the Twilight Forest, they had added a row of wooden fences outside the camp tonight.
"Be extra careful tonight, Uncle Richard will be keeping vigil with us with some men, and everyone be vigilant not to let those beasts come near our camp."
Malone said to Paul.
In the coming evening, the Westspring garrison, along with a few young men selected by the bearded Richard, will take turns keeping vigil at the edge of the camp to prevent the beasts from crossing the fence to attack the refugees in the camp.
"I see, Chief Lothar...... By the way, Sir Lothar, who are you in the camp with? ”
Paul nodded his head to acknowledge that he understood, and then asked curiously.
