Chapter 485: Ultimatum

I looked around again, and again there was no trace, but I knew very well that he must have come, and my ears had rarely had problems, but I don't know why he always came and went, what was he trying to do? What is his purpose, is it possible that he doesn't want to cut off my head directly to eat, but wants to scare me to death directly by psychological tactics?

I was in confusion when I suddenly heard something wafting past my ears, as if it was some kind of paper floating in the air, how could there be paper in this place? I judged its movements, and when I reached out and grabbed it, I saw another letter, which was basically the same as the one sent by the thin orangutan in the cave of the clawed dragon.

It seems that the Lord of Darkness has once again begun to inform me and handed me letters intending to inform me of something.

I took out the brown paper, but I saw that there was a simple line in the letter, which read: "The last chance, if you lose it again, the next one to lose is your life." ”

Then I touched it, and there was really another black stone in the envelope, I took it out, looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help cursing in my heart, this guy is endless, and the ghost is not gone? But this time, I didn't dare to throw it, because I always felt that the guy seemed to be around here, and he was peeping at me, threatening me in the letter, and if I threw it again, it would kill me, and if I threw it, wouldn't it be too miserable for him to appear and kill me?

Thinking of this, I can only weigh the stone, and I don't know if I want to swallow it. Or don't swallow it, after all, it's my life.

It was just in the middle of hesitation that I suddenly had another thought, if I don't eat, but I can't bear it, what will I do?

So I took the black stone, slowly put it in my pocket, and looked around to see if an ugly person would come out and attack me, but fortunately, it didn't appear, and at the same time, there was silence all around, and no sound could be heard except the wind.

"He's giving an ultimatum." Su Yuexi said.

"I can see that he obviously doesn't have the patience to continue playing that cat-and-mouse game with me anymore." I said.

"So Brother Zhou, what are you going to do next? What are you going to do with this black stone? Su Yuexi asked.

I sighed, sat down for the time being, she put down the animal skin backpack on her back from her shoulders, sat down with me, looked at me seriously and quietly, looking forward to my reply, I had to say: "Yuexi, I don't know what to do now, if I swallow it, we can all go back to the original world, go back to our own home, but I may start to become bloodthirsty, I will help the dark lord kill people and take their lives, eat people and eat bones, that is one of your enemies of the Demon Exorcision Division, but then I can at least save your life, Take you back to the original world.

And if we don't surrender to it, if we don't swallow this stone, we may be trapped here forever, and the butcher you said may come at any time, cut off your head and mine, and eat it in one bite! So far, I have not been aware of his whereabouts, but I know that he is probably nearby, and I have to worry about this threat, and I will not be sorry for my death, but with you, I can't bear it. ”

She moved towards me at this time, put my hand on her thigh knee, and her delicate fingers clenched tightly, and said: "If you can't decide, don't decide, but no matter what choice you make, I will support you, if you compromise, when we go back to the original world, I will try to gather the original members of the exorcist division, or my stepfather to help you get rid of it, no matter how bad it is, if you become a cannibal demon, I will try to help you find some dead corpses, beat your teeth, and don't do sad things." If you choose another path, you don't have to worry about me, I will fight with you to the end..."

I couldn't help but feel that such an understanding girl, what more could her husband ask for?

"Let's go, don't bow down to the dark forces, we will die together." I said.

She hummed and smiled.

Next, we began to continue to set off, because we are not very familiar with the West Island, and Su Yuexi also said that the West Island is much more threatening in the middle of the air than on the ground, because there are many small and highly poisonous birds like the black finch will hoard their heads, if they go all the way from mid-air, it is extremely easy to die halfway, so we choose to rely on the steps below to find it step by step.

And Su Yuexi also said that we only know the vague direction, and we still need to identify many landmarks and the like to find the mysterious hole, so we can only move forward step by step, exploring the way, and at the same time identifying whether the territory is familiar with, but all this can only be handed over to Su Yuexi, I just follow her all the way.

We started from the peak of the Devil's Claw and went downhill, until we came to a forest full of ghost vine trees, because they all looked very similar, so I couldn't tell where they were, there were still a lot of swamps and the like, and from time to time there would be some colorful toads or creatures like baby fish, and when we saw them, we could only stay away from them, and did not dare to move forward.

After the danger was lifted, we dared to continue to go forward, just walked all the way, I don't know how long, anyway, since early in the morning, we have been on the road, at this moment the sun has been shining in the sky, the temperature has risen a lot, so it is estimated that it is already in the afternoon, but the mysterious cave is not a shadow at all.

And along the way, the feeling of hair on my body is also getting more and more, as if I always feel that someone will suddenly come out of somewhere and do terrible things to us.

I'm afraid, but in addition to that, I'm really tired, and I haven't stopped walking since the morning, can I not be tired? This leg has a feeling of going to die, so I have no choice but to go down, or ask to be able to rest my feet before moving on.

Fortunately, there are also tree melons nearby, so I collected a little of them, and I plan to take a break first, then cook something to eat, replenish my stomach and continue on the road, plus I can have the strength and energy to deal with the accident.

We found a relatively suitable place to rest, there is plenty of open space, it is a barren area, collect some hay, find some dead branches to start a fire, and most importantly, there is a living spring here, which is easy to wash and drink, and cook something to eat, which is a better choice.

There are many such living springs in this area, and if you want to live here for a long time, then choose a random place in this vicinity, dig a well, and build a house, and there is no problem in living in it, it is a suitable place, but the river in the distance seems to have a bit of a foul smell.

But I also wondered why the river was so muddy, and the spring water collected in the vicinity was so clear, and even sweeter than ours. It's not that far off.

I took some water, cooked the tree melon, plus some wild mushrooms and other things brought, this time by Su Yuexi to cook, only to see that the bark of the tree melon between her waves suddenly decomposed and fell off, she skillfully manipulated her fingers, as if there were a few threads in her hand, and suddenly the tree melon was split into several petals by the mysterious energy, and fell into the water in the pot, and then she found firewood and a wooden pole, and flicked it with her hand, and the wood quickly rotated on its own, and it was rotating at high speed.

This is the speed of drilling wood for fire that has not been reached by a single hand for many years, and soon the firewood emitted white smoke, spread hay, and soon it will burn, Su Yuexi asked me to wait for her here, she went around, and it didn't take long to come back, holding a lot of rhizomes and the like in her hands.

After she took it to clean, she broke it and put it in the pot to cook with the tree melon, and put the mountain mushrooms left over from last night into it together, and it didn't take long for a fragrance to waft out, and the rhizome didn't know what it was, but it also made the pot have an extra smell of spices, and there was a special chemical reaction with the tree melon.

It didn't take long for the gourd to finish stewing, and it was stewed, and the taste was completely different, there was an indescribable deliciousness, a little bit of cantaloupe feeling, and I knew that this was the correct way to eat the gourd.

She got stuck in a fork and something like that, so she basically floated the food for me to eat, which is a rare treatment in the world.

We were eating, recovering and replenishing our strength, chatting about love by the way, talking about family routines, etc., and I don't know if it was because of the food, or if the follower's patience was completely gone, and he appeared, right next to a tree not far from us...
