Chapter 68: North by Northeast

"Hey, you don't think what this soldier said is true, how can there be such a terrifying monster in the world, and His Highness is still flying in the sky? I'm afraid this is a deserter, and he is afraid of being held accountable to lie to us like this, this kind of thing is not unusual. Alfred said.

"It's hard to believe what he said, but his expression doesn't look like a fake, and I think it's believable. Fried said lightly, "There is a need for a little trust between people, and if he is true, it is necessary for us to go and meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Hey, we don't need to make any troubles, just report to the local lord, don't forget that our mission is to be kept secret. ”

"But we don't have a reason to put the prince in danger, and the task of informing the local lord will be left to you. Randy said to the soldier, "Tell me which way you went into the mountains, tell me in detail." ”

Randy is the watchdog of this team, and to some extent, he can be regarded as the leader of this team, and Randy's choice is basically everyone's idea.

Despite his reluctance, Alfred followed the group into the mountains, and according to the soldier, in order not to get lost, they made road signs when they entered the mountains, and if they found them, they could follow the path they had carved out.

Although it can be seen that it is a mountain road that people have walked, but Zhou Lie's five people are also inevitably overcoming obstacles, the Philins Mountains have always been known for their dangers, covering a huge area, and there are many fierce beasts infested, there is no village in the mountains, only the experienced hunters in the village dare to enter the mountain, this time the two hunters followed the prince's team into the mountain, if they can't come back, it is a big loss for that village.

And Zhou Lie almost knew in his heart, the place where Arthur appeared was probably the hiding place of the beast god soldiers, this time Garcia stabbed the monster nest by mistake, but Arthur arrived in time, then Garcia should be fine for the time being, and Vivien is estimated to be heading here nearby.

I really have a relationship with these two people, and it has nothing to do with the things they handle, but I can still meet together.

Approaching Randy's side, Zhou Lie whispered, "Arthur has arrived, Vivien's troops should be about to appear, after we find His Highness Garcia, just bring him out, and leave the rest to Arthur to deal with." ”

"Well, that's what I thought, I hope they're safe now. Randy nodded.

Although the road here has been opened up once by Garcia's people, and it is also a path often taken by hunters, it is still covered with thorns and weeds, and it is difficult to pass, but the knight Fried takes the lead, using a long sword to open the way, and Alfred's short knife flies, chopping up the debris along the way.

Both of them were indeed strong men with a certain strength, and the process of opening the way was very smooth, but everyone did not find the cave that the soldier said until dark.

"We're camping on the edge of the creek tonight, and at our pace, we should be able to reach that cave tomorrow, and we all recharge our batteries, and we may encounter that monster tomorrow." Randy said.

"I can finally rest, I'm really tired of my uncle. Alfred sat down under a tree and rested against the trunk, while Fried helped Zhou Lie collect firewood, and Layla placed a guard around him to disperse the beast's nodules.

"There's a creek here, I don't know if there are any fish. Everyone had cleaned up and cleared a resting area, and began to divide their dry food, and Alfred pointed to the creek as if he wanted to fish.

"You can try to catch a few fish, and I get tired of eating this dry, hard dry food. Zhou Lie said.

"Hehe, uncle will show you a hand, add vegetables tonight. Alfred stood, picked up a branch beside him, and sharpened it with a dagger into an improvised harpoon.

Rolling up his trouser legs, the thief stood in the stream, held his breath, and then stooped sharply, and when he got up again, he saw a live fish forked on the branch, and there it was wagging its tail.

"Yo, go on. Alfred flicked the branch, and the fish broke away from the branch and flew towards the resting place.

A huge blister created out of thin air and caught the fish, and a short time later, the second and third fish flew over and into the blister that Layla had created.

The matter of dealing with the live fish was handed over to Randy, as the prime minister's henchman, he seemed to know everything, skillfully disemboweled, took out the internal organs, and then took the stream water to wash it, and then selected clean branches, plugged them, and put them on the side of the fire to roast, but after a while, the five grilled fish were completed, Zhou Lie took out the stone rock and pepper from the package, although it was not as good as the grilled fish in the tavern, but in this environment, it tasted different.

Although there was no need for a vigil with Layla's formation, Fried still insisted, so everyone found their own places to lie down after a full meal.

The night in the deep mountains and old forests was extremely quiet, so the sound of those insects was particularly harsh, and Alfred fell asleep, even at the other end, Zhou Lie could hear the snoring sound like a tiger.

"Star carving. Looking up at the starry sky, the starlight sprinkled on the earth, Zhou Lie fell into deep thought, he never thought that the name of a thing would be meaningless, star carvings, star carvings? Do they have anything to do with these stars? After all, what the star carving is, Bobolini did not explain clearly.

And most importantly, it's not just that Frem doesn't accept the other party's statement, Tim, who has always been quiet, actually didn't accept Bobolini's explanation, here Zhou Lie chose to believe in the judgment of these two dazed souls in his body, the reason is very simple, what both sides say is for their own interests, so it is obvious that what the prime minister said is more likely to be concealed and perfunctory.

His intuition told him that the end of this path would not be a simple matter.

Thinking couldn't be answered, and at the same time was so noisy by the snoring that he couldn't sleep, Zhou Lie simply got up and went to the stream to wash his face a few times.

"Can't sleep?" said Fried's voice, and the dutiful night watchman sat on the big rock by the stream, and watched the stream flow, and in the starlight, the brook was like a milky way, shining mysteriously, and the hair of the goddess floated in the night.

"The uncle's snoring was so loud that I thought he wouldn't notice if I sneaked over and wiped his neck. Zhou Lie said.

"Haha. Fried laughed a few times, he knew that Zhou Lie was just joking, and it seemed that the conversation between the two was heard, and the snoring was actually quieter.

"In the past, some of my comrades-in-arms could snore, so we have been thinking about how to solve this problem, some people decided to fall asleep before he fell asleep, and some bought two balls of cotton and stuffed them in their ears, but it didn't work, but over time, we got used to it. ”

"I'll never get used to it. Zhou Lie shook his head.

"At that time, we also thought that the man's snoring was annoying, but he was our captain, and he was very strong in martial arts, and we had no choice but to endure it, and then we all said that whoever purred louder would be more powerful. ”

"Poof, that's. ”

"That's why I'm snoring a lot now, so I have to keep a vigil. ”

Zhou Lie was stunned for a moment, and then the two laughed sullenly.

"Speaking of which, why did you end up on this team, it seems that you are the kind of boy with a head and a face, or an Oriental, why would you do things for them?"

Hearing the other party's question, Zhou Lie smiled silently, shook his head, and said, "I'm also curious about why there is a word of betrayal in your title, shouldn't it be absolute loyalty." ”

"Like that Andre, even if you know it's impossible, do you have to challenge the other party?" a mocking look appeared on Fried's face.

"At least you shouldn't assassinate your own lord from behind, it's not allowed anywhere. ”

"I see. With those four words, Fried stopped talking.

Everyone has their own secrets, and wanting to know each other's secrets is naturally equivalent to telling their secrets to exchange, and it is not Zhou Lie's habit to talk about them in a shallow manner.

It's just that Zhou Lie didn't know that this was just a casual conversation to pass the time of the other party, but the hostility he showed was a little excessive.

After a short chat, Zhou Lie returned to his place and lay down to rest, this time he fell asleep smoothly.

The next morning, he was awakened by a strange scratching sensation on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he found a bird standing in front of him, and as soon as his head shook, the other party flew away in fear.

Alfred, who was guarding the middle of the night in the distance, hugged his knees, and his head was up and down little by little, and he was actually napping.

Everyone gradually woke up and began to clean up, Zhou Lie was used to washing up before starting to eat breakfast, and then everyone heard a loud roar.

"This is Long Xiao?"

"Probably. ”

No one knew what the dragon roar was, but after hearing this long roar, everyone felt that it should be the so-called dragon roar, different from the roar of tigers, leopards and other demonic beasts, this sound did have a different taste, and Zhou Lie heard more details.

This roar was similar in some ways to that of the HΓΌdra, who had been judged to be a subspecies of the dragon, and it seemed that the Knight King was right.

And these beast god soldiers are too rebellious, right, even such things as dragons have appeared?

There was only one roar, and then it dissipated without a trace, but for the people of this group, the source of the sound was roughly understood.

"It's hard to imagine that such a monster has been hiding in the mountains and no one has found it. Alfred said as he touched his chest a little scared.

"It's inaccessible here, and Orion doesn't want to provoke this kind of thing, and there is no proper passage in the mountains, so it's normal for no one to know, if it weren't for the Knight King Moran to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this, I'm afraid this monster can be here for a lifetime." ”

"But where did this monster come from, it stands to reason that he should have parents too, will we face a litter of monsters?"

Facing Alfred's question, Zhou Lie smiled dumbly, although the other party's thoughts were normal, but from this person's mouth, he was inexplicably happy.

"No matter what, what we have to do is not going to change, and instead of thinking about something messy, we should get the things right in hand first. Randy clapped his hands twice, ending the conversation, "The direction is north-northeast, and the traces left by His Highness Garcia, let's go now." ”
