Chapter 43 Danger abounds
The wind whipped up the rustling of leaves.
The sky was covered with low-hanging dark clouds, and the sky was extremely obscure and desolate.
Beneath the silent cliffs, there is a hidden deep pit, nestled among the dense trees.
A clutter of vegetation obscured its entrance, and light crept in through the layers of overlapping leaves, but it was so faint that it could be ignored entirely, and the darkness was still the home of the pit.
Between the rocks, the stream gurgled and the cold and biting fresh water flowed through the cracks between the stones, and also under something that did not belong hereβa "corpse" that seemed to have no vital signs.
The sound of running water brushing against the stones grew stronger in my ears.
The unconscious fingers also quivered, ruffling the small stones beside them.
The stone rolled down, and it happened to hit the forehead where the broken hair was messy, and stopped.
It was this faint knock that made Jin, who had fainted among the rocks in the deep pit, open his eyes leisurely.
The cold stream pressed against his cheeks, wetting his chest and abdomen all the way to his lower body, Jin stretched out his stiff fingers, moved his sore legs, and used his arms to support his prone body for a long time.
He turned over, only to feel pain all over his body, and when he lowered his eyes, the clothes on his body were wet and torn, and a piece of silver soft armor was faintly revealed between the cracks.
Patting the chain mail worn inside, Jin grinned, revealing the happiness of the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that the armor designed by Han Qingluo protected him at a critical moment.
In addition, the blood clan's own self-healing ability, after being hit hard and falling off the cliff, he can slowly recover and wake up, which is simply a blessing in misfortune!
Sitting on the ground, Kim turned his head to look around the place he was, and when he looked up, the hazy light that came through the weeds made him realize that he had fallen into the pit.
I don't know what the battle situation was outside during the time he was unconscious, and his heart that had just been filled with joy was covered with a thick worry.
The first thing to do is to find a way to get out of here and hurry to find your companions.
Thinking of this, Jin stood up anxiously, but fell back uncontrollably in the next second.
This was followed by a sharp pain in his ankle, and when he looked closely, the ankle of his right foot was severely deformed.
It must have been caused by a violent blow when he fell, and if he hadn't corrected it in time, I'm afraid that his foot would have to remain in this state in the future and become deformed.
Although he is a blood clan and has the ability to heal himself, it does not mean that he does not suffer from external injuries, there is no one else here except him, but fortunately, he has studied the human body all year round and knows how to deal with it.
He patrolled left and right, climbed not far away, found two sticks, tore strips of cloth from his body, and tied them into a cloth rope.
Take off your damp coat, wrap it in a strip of cloth, and bite it directly with your mouth, firstly to prevent the sound from being detected by the demons, and secondly, to avoid biting your tongue when breaking bones.
When everything was ready, Jin took a deep breath and slowly took off the boots on his feet, and every time he moved, he frowned in pain and became short of breath.
When all the boots were taken off, he could clearly see the injury on his right foot - the whole foot was bent inward at a strange angle, because of the self-healing ability of the blood clan, there was no wound on his foot, but the pain of misalignment was still there, unbearable.
Carefully moving his feet closer to him, Kim adjusted his posture and leaned down, his hands on his misplaced feet, ready to make bone correction for himself.
After grasping the position, Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and exerted his hands with force......
"Click".
Kim tilted his head and stared at a pair of blue eyes, and Hitomi Ren fell into a state of confusion due to the pain, spreading.
With extreme patience, he couldn't help but snort, and the strip of cloth in his mouth was bitten by his silver teeth, pressed into a thin piece, and between his neck were raised green tendons from excessive exertion......
It wasn't until the undulating chest gradually subsided that Jin was numb from the pain and relieved a lot, and the exhaustion on his delicate face could not be concealed.
He evened his breath, picked up the stick on the ground, put it on his ankle, and wrapped it tightly around it with strips of cloth.
As a low-level blood clan with a low blood age, he didn't have the amazing self-healing ability of other high-level blood clans, so he could only wait slowly.
Reluctantly standing up, he found a small tree at the very edge of the pit, sharpened it off with the dagger he had with him, used it as a support, and began to limp through the pit in search of a way out.
When I walked to one place, there was a sudden movement not far overhead, like the rustle of grass blades brought by a large number of living creatures.
Jin immediately stopped moving, during which he also heard a whispered conversation, it was from the demon clan, listening to the content of the conversation, it should be in the direction of the beach.
Why go back to the beach?
Could it be that they ......
Jin didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only continue to find his way after the demons were far away.
Finally, after a section along the edge of the pit, a gentle slope appeared.
After urging a slight bonus to his health, he finally walked out of the pit and returned to the surface.
Because the demons left, Jin planned to go to the camp to look for them, but found nothing but corpses all over the ground.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he planned to go to the sentry post at the top of the island first to observe the situation on the beach, at the current speed, the demons should be almost on the beach.
When the demon brigade returns to the beach, the calm scene makes Stark doubt his decision.
I saw the demon guards stationed on the beach to watch over the ferry, leisurely gathered together to talk about the mountains, as if nothing unexpected had happened.
When they found the returning Saint King and his party, they immediately dispersed in a panic, and one of the Demon Guard Squad Leaders hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the Saint King, take down Revorno!" β
It's okay that the team leader didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Stark couldn't hold back the anger in his heart again, he didn't make a sound with a gloomy face, raised his hand and waved, and the five holy envoys immediately led several teams to disperse and go to the beach to search for Revorno's traces.
"Didn't you find any suspicious signs?"
The anger that was about to explode was still suppressed, and Stark glanced at the team leader.
The squad leader immediately nodded in response: "Not really." β
Hearing this, Stark lowered his eyelashes and thought: Could it be that his prediction was wrong?
Along the cliffs, there may be a foothold that stretches to the south, and from the south they can sneak around their defenses to the beach.
There weren't many guards on the beach, and according to their remnants, it should be easy to deal with this group of ferrymen, and there was no reason why there was no movement now.
Wouldn't this be the best time to sneak up and escape by boat?
What he wanted to see was that Jue and his party were attacking this group of clansmen guarding the boat, instead of nothing happening, and they came with great fanfare, but they pounced.
Stark felt like he had accumulated strength in his fist, and he confidently planned to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, but found that the target he was going to hit did not appear as he expected, and that kind of grievance made him want to go crazy!
While they were in a state of depression, the five holy envoys also returned with their respective search and arrest teams.
Stark saw the frustration on their faces, and immediately raised his hand to signal that no one would speak.
"All holy warriors, defend the beach, and report any change immediately!"
After a long silence, Stark gave a sharp order, he didn't believe that this group of Revornor and the Guardians would be able to endure it, and if they wanted to spend it on this desolate island, they could only sit and wait for death, and the beach was the only place to get out of the island.
Sooner or later, they will take the initiative to come to the door, don't worry if they don't come out, since you want to play hide and seek with him, then play hide and seek yourself!
Deploy the patrol and keep an eye on the point, and all the manpower of the demon clan is stationed in the forest near the beach.
In this battle with Revorno, most of the demons were physically and mentally exhausted, and they were in a pile of threes and fives, enjoying a short leisure time.
It was getting late, and when the evening came, it was already dark.
On the beach, bonfires are lit to illuminate the entire stretch of sand, illuminating the many ferries docked in the shallow water, so that anyone can be spotted as soon as they approach.
On the other side, Zack, who "surrendered", was not treated preferentially, his hands were still tied, and he stayed in the most obvious position on the beach, surrounded by demons, and there was no chance to escape, it seems that Stark has not fully trusted him.
After glancing around, Zach didn't have any thoughts, just lay on his back, and simply closed his eyes on the soft sand to recuperate.
What he was most worried about now was why Jue and the others didn't come to smuggle the boat according to the plan, could it be that they had an accident when they climbed down the cliff?
With a deep sigh, Zack could only choose to wait and continue to play the role of "traitor", after all, in his current state, Stark was still wary of him.
Sentry point at the top of the island.
Jin has been staying here for a long time, observing the movements of the demons.
At first, I thought they would leave by boat, but it turned out that they seemed to be looking for something, not an outlying island.
Come to think of it, they must be looking for Jue, so it means that Jue they are not dead, but hiding somewhere, but for some reason the demons can't find them.
Kim breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart also fell, which was simply the best news he had ever received since he woke up.
But right now, what he was most puzzled about was why Zach appeared on the side of the demons with the figure he recognized at a glance on the beach?
Seeing that his hands were tied, it seemed that he was captured, but he should be with Jue and them, why was he the only one there, but Jue and they were nowhere to be found.
Look at his state, he is quite leisurely, he can still lie on the beach to rest, and there are no demons around him who deliberately take care of him, as if he can't match the word captive.
Don't?
Did this kid betray everyone?
Kim couldn't help but sulk, how to look at Zack's figure, how to go wrong.
But what's the use of being angry alone here?
Now he can't find them, and his feet won't be healed for a while, and he can't move at all, let alone fight the enemy.
Stuck alone on a desert island, with enemies intercepting in front of you, it's not too miserable!
Just as he was in a state of loss and unable to extricate himself, a dark shadow appeared silently behind him, and he didn't know it......
